question of upgrade atom life - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading

I have purchased an atom life branded o2 to use in italy, it has the following rom:
Version extrom: ex0102
Hardware v7
Radio al1_klnc2340_080121__rs001
Rom 200800201b2wwe
I would want to adjourn the palmare to wm 6.1 which recommend rom me to use? my telephone operator is h3g (umts).
I would want to know that problems there could be after the updating and the improvements that will be in the smartphone. besides if possible also the sequence of the keys and the operations to perform... I am an inexperienced person.
thanks a lot and regards from italy
stefano

My advice as an Atom Life owner is to try using one of PDAViets WM6.1 ROMs as they are extremely easy to use and contain a number of very useful programs such as WKTask and Comm Manager.
Try his latest one

T-mobile 1.60.0 Vs Dangaard 1.60.21!!!!

hi 8)
it seems to be there r many roms but we need to which one is pretty....
i have dangaard 1.60.21 rom, its cool, fast and slove port prblrm(port4,port5).
SO we can make a good discussion about it :wink:
Interesting, but I am still trying to find out what the essential difference is between the two Roms, I now have the T-mobile one on my Qtek and before installing the Dangaard one I need to understand if it makes sense or not.
Who can say anything useful about the real difference?
I have tried both and I prefer Qtek one.
Almost no difference. The operating system and the radio stack are identical. The only difference is in de provider specific additions.
dangaard 1.60.21
Hi to alls,
I come also from t-mobile 1.60 to dangaard 1.60.21 and that is much better, no charge problem, no mms problem and with the dangaard I have the signal where was not possible with t-mobile and at last with dangaard 1.60.21 is not necessary the soft reset after the hard for stop the personalization, for all that I take the occasion for give special thanks to spanky for the upgrade develop from t-mobile to dangaard.
THANKS SPANKY

Version 1.72 seriously discussed

Can anyone share with us information on version 1.72 for XDA2: features, benefits, pros, cons... ?
Is worth upgrading from O2 1.60 ?
thanks
There are allready many threads on this.
But to conclude:
If you don't have any issues with your current version: stay with it.
You might consider 1.72 (the Qtek or iMate versions, NOT the T-Mobile beta) especially when:
1. You need certain Bluetooth options (ie serial port protocol) and don't want to mess around with hacks or extra 'tools'
2. Battery life is important
For me these points were enough to DO the upgrade (coming from 1.63 T-Mobile NL). And very happy with it.
Keep in mind that (unless you find a 1.72 from your own operator) you will have quite some work with getting all the customisations right.
One of these days I will post a good working set (no issues in a month holiday!!) of customisations to be used as a an extended rom for T-Mobile NL
i'm currently using the T-Mobile ROM v1.72WWE had no problem with it. the batt life was improved noticeably. I was using the O2 ROM v1.66WWE
as for my bluetooth i'm using the widcomm BT-PPC/PE v1.0.0 build 1400. no problems with it except that it turns off whenever i set my phone to standby mode.
downlaod
i have a qtek 2020 with rom 1.66 and it is doing a lot of problem which version is better and where can i download it
1.72 ROM Editing the Connectivity
Hi, I am v happy with the 1.72 ROM... I have successfully added my local GPRS setting for my operator.
but ... I can't edit my ISP GPRS settings.
In the select network, edit My ISP, the existing connections doesn't show up to allow me to edit the settings. No exisiting connection to "tap" on!?
please help!!
1.72 ROM
i have 'salad rom' with asian flavour(Included 'auto configuration' & 'o2 connect) and happy with it.
rom 1.72WWE, radio 1.17, ext.rom 1.72.900 (main rom by Qteq, radio by T-mobile, ext.rom by edsubsoft).
untill now ;
phone, gprs, activesync, run program, MS BT stack, sms, mms ........are running well. (maybe i am lucky with it)
keep to my salad untill SE come out.
---------------
many thanks to [Krueger] Dr. Stein, mamaich, itsme, edsub...
you are great man.
Most of the post regarding ROM Salads and customizations are beyond what I wish to perform on my device. To dat I have only loaded T-Mobile ROM upgrades that required nothing more than loading them automatically. I currently have the T-Mobile U7K Beta on my MDA II.
Can someone please explain the following:
1. Is there another T-Mobile 1.72 WWE available that I can load, non-beta?
2. I see other Custom ROMs on this site that state T-Mobile. Can I simply load those automatically or will I have to get into country ID, .nbf files, etc?

Official T-Mobile
Hi. Gratefuled
maybe this can help you : :?: :?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11169
ajong,
Thanks for the link. I have looked at that page/thread, but I think what I want is still not available.
I'm looking for an official T-Mobile 1.72 ROM, si I can get rid of the 1.72 Beta, or I'm looking for someone's custom ROM that I can load just like I could an official one. In other wors the custom I suppose would be ok, but I do not want to mess around with opeing the ROM and disecting and changing certain settings. Like I say, it just may not be out there.

New MDA II - Where to start with? Advantage of WM2003SE?

Hi,
on Christmas i got a MDA II.
I started reading a lot but yet im a bit unsure where to start with.
My current system is:
T Mobile MDA II
ROM: 1.03.00 GER
Date: 09/25/03 (seems to be quite an old one, huh?)
Radio: 1.05.12
Protokoll: 1337.12
I already know there is a 1.72 Rom update from t-mobile out, which is probably the first thing i should "install".
The next thing i am curious about is WM2003SE. I noticed a lot of people seem to use it here, so what's the advantage to the current system? Will the english version mix up any German programms? WM2005 on the other Hand seems to be a bit buggy on the Himalaya?
Im going to use my MDA for Navigation with a BT Mouse, will upgrading on 1.72 + WM2003SE fix the Bluetooth issue?
Any other hints on "must have's" tool, software, updates?
Thx for any advises.
Hi, I also have the VPA 2 (the same like yours just from Vodafone).
At first I also had the original Rom from Vodafone. After a while I testet WM2003SE, which is much more stable then the older one. Bluetooth is also working better, no need of Bluetooth Tools anymore. The only bad thing is that its on englisch , but that is ok. It doesn't change your other Programms, when they are german they will stay german.
WM 2005 is also not bad, but not all the software is working there.
PS: For navigation use TomTom 5, its really great, and especially the warning Function of Points of Interest is great.

Hi Björn,

If you're looking for the T-Mobile 1.72.170 ROM upgrade, go here:

Which provider are you using your MDA II with? I'm using mine with E-Plus but am having problems with the GPRS settings. Entering them manually doesn't really work.
Thx for the links.
Actually, i don't really use any provider. I hardly used any mobile phones, so i only had an vodafon prepaid card. However i am currently looking for a well-priced option to use internet with my pocket pc.
@da4walker: Which WM2003SE build are you using?
IN Device Information there is shown: 2.20.07CHS (but its englisch)
Build from the 09/17/04
It's working really good, thats why I didn't try any other version
cu
The 2.20.07 translated SE ROM is the fastest and most stable SE rom for Himalaya imho.
You might want to try my cooked rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39938
Its just the 2.20.07CHS and 1.18 radio but with a generic ExtROM.
Advantages f this rom above the 1.72 or 1.75 non-SE roms are Intellidialer, Landscape, again better BT support (although with 1.72 you did not need those BT Tools anymore too)

HELP!!! Atom Life WM6.1 Clean ROM

Hi,
I just bought the O2 Atom Life (not the MWG) 2 days ago for a very attractive clearance price in a computer shop. It's still running WM5 though ~
I've browsed through a lots of threads in this forum and have found most of the "unofficial" WM6 ROM have many software "pre-installed" which I don't really need ~
Could anyone suggest where can I download a "clean" ROM for WM6.1 or at least WM6.0? Is the version of the MWG Atom Life ROM only WM6.0?
I would prefer a clean ROM for either English version or Traditional Chinese if there is any ~
Thank you so much
Wallace
I've tried to upgrade the ROM to MWG's Official WM6 (not WM6.1), but the free memory left is < 25MB, and there aren't that many software ~
How's TranMinhMan's WM6.1 ROM (20753) vs Medkid's WM6.1 ROM (19214). Which one will you recommend to be more stable and hopefully less buggy?
Cheers

Hi Wallace,
You can get it at MWG websites but only WM6.0. There's no official WM6.1 for Atom Life.

Hello Wallace,

Hope this will help you.

Thanks for the replies
I've tried the MWG ROM already and I don't like it because the memory left is smaller than those official ROM and also there aren't any useful "utilities" installed ~
Now the question is where can I find the Official O2 WM6 ROM to "overwrite" the MWG ROM?

You could try the ROM in my signature. It's a good compromise between the heavily customised ROMS wwhich often have problems and the stock ones.
Free RAM is about 5Mb more than a stock ROM and it is finger friendly and very reliable.
With PDAVIET 20753 ROM I have 27mb RAM free... Which one is better

PDAViet 20753 TOM build by TranMinhMan is base on the original O2 Atom Life WM6 ROM. some other cooked ROM is based on the MWG ROM.. all this ROM is not official, it is "cooked" version ROM..
to answer you question which one is better, i think the best person to answer you is yourself.. i would advice you to try other ROM version and feel it and study it which one is more stable and which one would satisfies you.
I use the MWG ROM in my signature because, although it does not have as much free memory (15Mb with everything other than TomTom running) I have had problems with .NET applications when using a few PDA VIET ROMS. I'm told that the extra free memory is gained by cutting corners that sometimes cause problems with other software. The PDA VIET ROMS that I have used have all been fine other than this.
I run SPB Mobile shell, SPB Phone Suite, SPB Weather and TomTom 7 on my Atom Life and everything is fast and smooth so I ask myself who needs so much free memory?
The best way really is to try them for yourself
sorry, wrong post
The most stable rom in my humble opinion, may be u should try this awesome rom:

Because newer version is not always better
i'm using O2 atom life and obviously it originally had the O2 firmware, since then i've flashed the MWG firmware and currently with it being connected to the PC, it has 13.9mb ram free. So judging from the PDAVIET light version, it seems that theres approx. 28mb ram free, i really want to install it but however I only have a 4gb mini SDHC card, as such, how can i flash it? Flashing the MWG firmware was easy since it was a PC flasher, however, all the custom roms i've seen generally require a 2gb or less card to flash. Is there anyway to circumvent it?

Xda Atom Life WM6.1 WWE_RC2151108B2 by aa125690

As I promised, I'm now going to release the O2 version of the ROM for Atom Life. The OS version of this ROM is 5.2.1616 (Build 19974.1.2.8). The XIP is taken out from Xda Atom Life WM6 WWE_RC2140907B2 and the SYS is dumped out directly from the latest ROM of HTC Touch 3G.
Here is a little bit of information of this ROM:
- Windows Media Player 10 Mobile for Pocket PC Version 10.3 Build 19974
- Esmertec Jbed 20080610.2.1
- Adobe Reader LE 2.5.1.0.354273.01(from HTC Touch Viva's ROM).
- The wince.nls is replaced with the one from the official ENG V2.05.96 ROM for MWg Atom V.
Known issues(Haven't been solved):
- The camera and O2 AutoInstaller may not work. Maybe it is related to different ExtROM.
- The server of O2 for O2 Connect has closed, therefore the O2 Connect is just a rubbish... But I haven't removed it yet.
- No time zone and clock settings after aligning screen after hard-reset.
- The default setting of Beam is "disable".
I just mixed the resources together and did some little fixings, So it may still have some unknown issues. Please report to me if this ROM have any problem.
Remember, I'm still only a beginning-level cook. Please don't just leave swearing posts if there is something wrong... Thanks.
P.S. Thanks qq108108108 for the tutorial in the past!!!
Instruction: Just flash my ROM like what you've done for medkid's.

Well, from my experience, the stability of the official ROM isn't a big deal. And moreover, their TCP/IP stack is really poor. In the newer OS versions, e. g. those in ROMs by T2M, it is much better.
