Best ROM for BBConnect - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

I am upgrading to WM6 as soon as my 8525 comes in. I would like to avoid carrying a blackberry that my company is willing to get me. Which ROM supports BBConnect well. Does Black 2.5 because I know jj is having issues with the 3.x versions now. If not then does LVSW? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

There is at least one working on creating the LVSW 5/7 with a BB Connect working, I read it some thread they were trying to edit the Hex to get it working. I may do it since I would like it working too, but it is not top on my list...so keep waiting.
As far as the RIGHT NOW option, I still think XDALive v2 is the best option for BB Connect. But I only use XDALive and LVSW ROMs since they work better than ALL others. Unfourtunalty XDALive future is dead for the time being so LVSW ROMs are the only choice. Maybe there are others changing LVSW 5/7 for BB Connect..............

The Black Roms support BBConnect. I am running BBConnect 4 on Black 3.0.1 and it works like a charm.
I suspect that JJ will ensure it works with Black 3.5 as well.

Thats fine but Black ROM's are not always the most stable for everyone. Black ROM's look cool though, so try it and if you get good preformance then you have a winner.

I used kuphyr's 0.2 and 0.3 with BBC just fine.
As I simply can't afford to have mine 8525 being down for more that couple of hours and on the first attempt to re-cook, I had a made a boo-boo and had spent way too much time re-flashing and re-installing everything few times, I am kinda cautious playing with it and simply use Black 2.0 since then.
I like JJs 2.0 ( except IE being dead slow and of course BT disconnect issues ), overall BBC is doing the excellent job for me and I will be very cautious before I'll switch to any other ROMs.
So yes - Live 0.3 and Black2 are just fine for BBC.

I used Black 2.0 and BBC 4.0 work fine, only have a problems with the BT in my car.
I prove many roms and the black 2.0 for my in this moment is the better for BBC 4.0.

WM6 Rom Comparisons/Feedback

Hi,
I would like to get some peoples thoughts/feedback on the different WM6 ROMs available.
I have a Dopod 838 Pro and am probably going to flash it purely to see if any extra functionality can be gained out of it & seeing as i have Windows Vista on my Laptop, it seems logical to have WM6 on my XDA
XDA Live & LVSW seem to be looking the most populat of the current flavors around?
Any comments?
I'm actually just flashing the device now with LVSW but was reading some of the posts about XDA Live & it seems tempting...
I guess i may aswell mention i'm also testing out Telstra NextG at work, so anything which will make the radio more responsive & reliable is going to go down well in my books.
If mine goes good, then i might have to do the same for one of the managers at work who has the i-mate jasjam but with the current Telstra ROM on there it is performing like a snail in a sand pit.
All comments appreciated, seeing as i'm the guinea pig at work for most of this stuff.
Thanks.
I tried first LVSW, and run into installation trouble. I got the infamous white screen, and after I made it work, it was really slow. Maybe all my mistake, don't know. I tried than XDA Live 2, and that installed like a charm, and works like a charm, very fast. I am using it since 3 days now, and did not have a single time to soft re-set - and that was necessary with WM5 at least 3 twice a day.
Hi there,
I have notice many users with i-Mate JasJam have upgraded to WM6 Black Edition V1.2.
Anyone have any comments or comparison to the other two?
I am currently own a JasJam with WM5 - this thing runs like a dog and having to soft re-set almost everyday - I am currently considering upgrade to WM6 but really not sure which one to go for.
Any advice would be really appreciated - thanks.

You may have to do that reg hack to enable nextg.. that was the first thing I noticed after flashing a non standard rom.. less band options.. being on plain ole gsm, it didn't bother me.. but that's the only place I've seen mention of it.
I flashed my Dopod 838Pro with Black 1.2 and couldn't be happier. It's really quick, as stable as I noticed WM5 to be, and (being an Aussie) I prefer to have a rom which was cooked here and has carrier settings for here. This was my first experience with flashing a ROM but I only intend to flash again with a later version of the Black ROM. I'd highly recommend it.
I began with the WM6 vanilla and then went to an earlier LSVW ROM. The earlier LSVW took 25 min to flash. I hear newer version takes 40 min to flash. Some have paniced and unpluged their phones temporarily bricking them.
I went back to the vanilla ROM. It takes a little tweaking to get it right but takes only a few minutes to flash. It's also stable. One does have to move the windows office icons around to use MS office.
Remember to SIM and CID unlock your hermes before flashing. Also, you'll have to use the keyboard fix cab for certain hermes versions.

nope...I installed the OS only version and it took about only 6 minutes to install.
you need an 'OS only' rom if you have already flashed the radio to the latest version.
WM6 Black 1.2 is the best IMHO. I used XDA Live for several weeks, but find Black more quicker and more stable, less soft resets etc.
My preference is with the latest LSVW. It has less baggage than WMBE but if you need the functionality of the extra software provided with WMBE then you should chose that.
I think there is not much difference in terms of stability between the two although there has been issues with white screen (more apparent with the LSVW apparently) tho I haven't been cursed with that yet. Most of the instability/compatibility issues lie within the software installed after flashing the OS.
If I'm correct, LSVW has not had the OS version number editted to allow BBC/GOODLINK to work on it but WMBE has. This is not an issue for me since I have no use for these programs.
There is also some more recent additions to the variety of WM6 roms tho they are based on the LSVW version.
I'm looking forwards to Jasjammings WMBE 2.0 which he claims to be based on a final version of WM6. This should be very promising and despite the various added features which I won't need I'll definately be installing.
I was using Vanilla at first, sometimes my TyTN hung up but not too often. Then XDA Live v.10, without any problems. Then I've tried Black Edition v.1.2 but it had issues with SPB Software, sop that was no good for me at all.. Now I'm trying LVSW 2007-03-26, so far so good.. but probably i will flash again to XDA Live v.30 when it's avalaible

I have been running black2.0 and its great! Quickly got donations after only a day of usage. No resets required @ all. There has been no lock-ups yet. I have had it on my phone since it was released
P.S. Flashing has become very addictive!!! Anyone know what to do with the MONKEY...LOL
Definitely LVSW all version - the most professional release around.
So far the only OS so far that has supported all of my programs properly, as well as VoIP and other enhancements is Black 2.0.
Dutty's WM6 comes close, but I haven't been able to get VoIP working with it properly yet.
As for the LVSW editions. I installed his first release and quite liked it, I've been wary about flashing the more recent versions however after the white screen issues. (I'm sure its been resolved by now though.)
Running a custom version of black 2.0 myself
all are good!
all versions run good, the difrence is mainly the add ons.
be ware of SPB shell...

I have to disagree. Go into the thread and read the user experiences. It's heavily "bugged".
1. Dialer without buttons (will appear for a while after soft reset)
2. Explorer when launched hangs the device up (soft reset necessary)
3. connecting to 3g/gprs the device blocks (soft reset necessary)
IE is completely unusable, and even if you use opera, you still can't get gprs. Ans that us with all 3 versions. I tried them all, and now back to LVSW (08-04)
Dutty knows this and has promised a revision soon. My vote goes currently for LVSW.
I've only tried the black Black and the latest LVSW, but my vote goes to LVSW.
right now i'd go with black. i've flashed all of kyphur's public ones, lswv 3-23 and all the black flavors. been happiest with 2.0 but can't wait for xda live 0.3
I would have to vote for Black 2.0 and XDA Live .30. These are by far the most stable for the apps that I run. I have run pretty much the full suite of SPB software on both without any problems.
I keep switching back and forth as I can't decide which I like better.
used only BLACK. never had to think of trying the others...

Black Dymond or LVSW Cingular Edition

I've been using Black (and currently 3.01) but am looking at moving on. Who can give me advise on the pros and cons between Dymond and the LVSW?
If you're concerned about stability, I'd go with vp3G's version of the LVSW ROM. It's the one I keep going back to, and it has the Cingular customization already done. It's excellent work. In my testing I've found Dymond to be fairly unstable.
That is probably my biggest concern, and the reason I left the factory ROM. I'm kind of leaning the LVSW way but want to make sure I'm not passing up something good with Black Dymond. I"m starting to get tired repeatedly setting up my device with all my programs after I move to a new ROM.

Good question Jasjamming. I have to say I am impressed with the number of user using your ROM, and the quality of the threads relating to your work. Can you gave me some advice, please, on what I would gain using your Black Dymond? Thanks...

speed, stability and the latest RTM Rom (not a MS dogfood rom) available. please see the threads over at 4wm for your self.
Black Dymond has been beta, RC1 and RC2 tested by a user group. Any issues experienced will be isolated based on 3rd party applications. Try it and see for yourself.
If someone posts negative feedback by all means please state what went wrong etc over at 4wm so notes can be taken.

I am also interested to hear what kind of 'testing' you did.
Dymond is Actually Rock-Solid.
A quick point about "dogfood" since its been spun up with a somewhat bad connotation here.
M$ employees run the latest and greatest software from the development groups. They call it "eating their own dogfood". Its a term of endearment on the M$ campus. Every major M$ developer/presenter I spoke with at MEDC this year was running "dogfood" on their device. Generally, "dogfood" is a few point releases in advance of what gets sent to the masses.
Good or bad, buggy or not. You folks decide.
I'm happy to run "dogfood" on my TyTN. Nobody else has it. Case in point: check the Kaiser thread.

Could not agree more! vp3G's LVSW Re-Cooked version is the "Best Rom by far" very fast and very stable...
Black Dymond is the best Rom.....
I am using black 3.5 since yesterday and so far it has treated me well. I don't see any stability issues.
I have installed some spb programs like weather and some games and the ROM rocks.
I have been on black 2.5 before and that was stable as well. However dymond is noticeably much faster.
I have not tried any other ROMS besides these 2 so I cannot say which one I would favor over the other. I like black and sticking with for now.
I recently flashed the vp3G ROM after using Black 2.5 for about a month. Black 2.5 treated me very well, however I am happier with the vp3G (LSVW derivative). It is much faster and more polished than the Black 2.5 I was using(because it is newer, I suppose). I have been very excted about the 3.xx versions of Black but have yet to try them until I read through all the threads to see if it is a fit for me (3.0/3.1 didn't seem to be the right move). For now, vp3G/LSVW is an excellent ROM for me.
I'm running SPB Diary, MS VC 1.6, VOIP, IM+, SKTools, DinarSoft HandySwitcher, MOBITV, SettingSavior .94, and a bunch of other stuff. No problems AT ALL to report. Program Memory stays solid, device never freezes, and battery lasts the longest.
Hope this helps...
Black Dymond with C-Start : experiencing sync problem
Using Balck Dymond for 12h. Looks quite stable, not to mention the style. Thanks JJ
All functions work well (haven't tested 3G - China not deploying it yet ).
Most impressive is the performance of WiFi (compared to Black 3.01 and WM Hermes QS Edition) - power settings shoul be on "Best Performance", otherwise do not connects even putting the device next to BS
Found some conflict betwen C-Start and embodied input - haven't explored the issue yet.
Issue with synchronization: When the ROM was "virging" no problem synchronizing. Suspect installing C-Start, after the system runs for some time, there is some software conflict. Have followed all ActiveSync 4.5 troubleshooting advice, but looks like the issue is in the device. Next few days will try to install different Chinese characters software - hope it will work!
-- The same issue had with Black 3.1 + C-Start; the difference is that with Black 3.01 was able to etsablish connection between the PPC and the PC, was able to "browse" the PPC but no sync; with Dymond no connection at all
Hope will figure out some way arround with the Chinese characters

Heh... I think some folks are wishing this "dogfood" came from Menu Foods rather than M$.
Not to mention anyone who's been in IT for any length of time knows a "shipping" version doesn't necessarily equate to a "good" version (can we all say Windows ME?). C'mon, I know y'all didn't just fall off the turnip truck.
I think vp3g rom is by far the best. I ve been playing with this rom since it 1st came out and i must say its Very stable, very BIG storage, very responsive, and the tie in of the cingular settings with this rom adds close to a perfect rom! My only gripe with lsvw rom base is "esmertec java" Opera mini sucks with it! But otherwise a great rom!

I already posted it on your site.
Out of the box, within 30 mins of use, your ROM was freezing up on me several times. I use no 3rd party applications, aside from Pimp My Black (which may have been the problem). I did not see the quirkiness in other ROMs that I saw in Dymond. I've reviewed many ROMs, including your original Black 2.x and 3.x series, and did not have the same polished experience I see in LVSW's base. I think your 2.5 ROM was the best to date in terms of reliability.

It's given me no hassles at all, aside from the WLAN problem when using WPA2 pre-shared key, which seems to be a problem in a few recent ROMs (Faria's being the exception here). It has the Cingular customization already done, and includes what I need and not what I don't need. I also like the inclusion of a working X-button. No additional CABs to install.

Well then,
Maybe you should have choose the word "Tried" rather saying something like 'in my "Testing" I found it to unstable.'
You tried it, you didn't actually do any 'testing.'
I was involved in the 'beta' and RC1, and still using it loaded full of apps, and there is NO instability at all.
cant say much about the others but...
I am running Dymond and no stability issues what s ever were detected unless:
You add on HTC X (doesn't matter what version - both Sucks) use alternatives like handyswitcher or others.
This is the ROM I had the longest uptime before SR!
I am running Pushmail (more than 200 email per day) with sms activity fairly high as well as phone calls that could probably fry my ... and still stability is not an issue.
only issue i am wondering about these days is what Radio Version is the best to work with...
I have actually found the same issues with every WM6 rom I have tried to date. I have loaded all of Kyphurs, a couple of LVSW's and Black 2.01 onwards.
I think everyone here knows that actual problems stem from third party apps and/or personal set up and the roms get blamed for the problems.
I also think we all know that a lot of people fall into the two main camps and will argue their rom is better than the other one.
I am on Dymond and havn't had a soft reset for the two days its been on my device - which for a cooked rom I reckon is pretty damn good - but I reckon from what I have read LVSW's latest is probably ok too...
You pays your money and you takes your choice --- oh except you dont pay any money - ITS FREE!

Schap vs Black Satin

Hi,
Can anyone tell me which is the best cooked ROM based on the official release ? Is Schap's Wm6 superior or Black Satin or some other recipe ?
Thanks
Depends
Sometimes I like Sleuth's rom more
Sometimes Black
Sometimes my own one
As you can read in a lot of other threads you have to test every single rom and find your personal favorite.
Schap's let ROM are more complete and run much faster than the Black one.
Though I do prefer the look of Black.
The best black I've used was Dymond 3.5, much faster than the later one
schap's is the best i've used and io've used nearly all
its by far the quickest and a lot more is included; like the advanced configuration tool and operator/voip settings, some of which cannot be found elsewhere
if you like the look of black you can download and add those files later; i.e. the dialer skin, the comm manager, the splash screen
but i say substance over style, and schap's rom definitely does not lack style and is oozing substance
Have been a long time Black user, but am trying Schaps latest just to see what all the hype about it being much quicker than Satin is all about.
Have set the performance measures to match what I was running Satin with, so should be a fair match.
Will comment after a few days.
Hello,
Schaps Rom is in German language, which a large advantage for us is Germans. In addition the optics with few handles is adapted, so which one differentiated between optically hardly one see can. Programs the Schaps version everything has which one needs, the remainder procures I me. I would not transfer anyhow.
You don't say your service provider, and that makes a difference.
I'm an AT&T (formerly Cingular) 8525 user. Having used and enjoyed most of JJ's "Black" series (with the exception of Satin) I was a fan.
Then I decided to try out vp3G's latest and have found the v3.0 "Official" (with bloatware stripped out) to be the fastest, most stable ROM to date.
No offense intended towards JJ's ROMs (I've donated about $100 to the guy)they looked great but tended to make my 8525 get laggy. Since burning vp's ROM my 8525 is zippy.
Black Satin Vs Schaps
I have used both the roms Black Satin & Scahps latest Roms released on 28/07/07.
Schaps Rom has all the latest upadtes & patches as well all the new goddies.
On the hand black is not having any new updates as jasjam has stopped cooking further any new roms.
Schaps has advantage over Black as it has all latest updates as well as speed is concerned both roms are good.
I am currently using Shaps latest rom it is running pretty fine i would recommend going for Schap's Roms

Chalk up another vote for vp3G's "Official" ROM. Very stable, quick and responsive.
It all depends on what your looking 4. I've tried most every rom out there and they all have pros and cons. To me sleuths new rom is the best base to start with if you like doing some of your own customizing. Schaps had some problems 4 me, like activesync issues and lag, Black satin has some apps that are not the latest versions. Bottom line is read EVERYTHING and you will be able to set yourself up the way you want.
I haven't tried Sleuth's yet but I'm presently using schap's and have used his older ROM's as well with great success. Prior to that I was running Black and was pretty happy but it was sort of laggy/sluggish to respond with the dialer and through the settings menus.
Like has been said, they all have their pro's / con's... just gotta find what suits you best. Right now for me it is Schap's and if he keeps it up it may be for awhile but I think I'm going to backup my phone and try Sleuth's for grins and giggles sometime next week.
I must admit that I have tried the previous ROM's by JJ, but not Satin.
The reason for this is that there will be no more development work from his side. ( He is getting a new toy)
But the guy is great and thanks for the ROM's in the past.
I have had an issue with Sleuth's new ROM on the Calendar selection button. I have tried his worKabouts, but nothing worked. I even downloaded it again and reinstalled with the same results.
So I went to Schap's latest, and it must be his greatest. Surprisingly with all the extras included is is just as fast as Sleuth's new ROM, but without any issues so far.
My vote musy go for Schaps at this stage.

What is the plugin on top of the HTC home plugin ?
Thanks and regards
Schaps is probably my favorite but MS VC 1.6 will not work with it(with bt headset) so I have to use Black Satin..
Wish I knew why..
I use a lot of 3rd party software so I always load up my software and then test a ROM.
From my experience, I've usually had issues with Black ROMs... don't get me wrong... Black is an awesome ROM alone but for some reason.... it never played nice with my 3rd party apps.
I then moved to VP3G's 1.0 and that was fantastic. Never had any major issues.
Tried VP3G's 3.0 and I had problems/stability/performance issues. Again... works great alone but I'm a 3rd party app whore.
I then moved to Schap's 3.57a and so far so good.
In my case, 3rd party apps are a must. When I have problem with an 3rd party app and the developer says "Try another app instead..." I'm like, no thanks and move on to another ROM. I don't really believe in Chef loyalty.... rather in ROM stability and the ability to play with 3rd party apps nicely. Don't get me wrong... I respect most of our major ROM chefs (Lately...Schaps, JJ, VP3G, Sleuth, etc....) and I can't expect our chefs to test their ROM with every 3rd party app out there...
Bottom line, You have to try them all and see what works for your setup (with 3rd party apps installed n all).

I agree with you on JJ's "Black" series. They were great until the met the SPB products...
I use SPB Shell, PocketPlus, Back-up (though not lately as Scheduled BU doesn't work on WM6), Diary, and Weather. I also load Total Commander, HTC Audio Manager and Today plug-in and vp3Gs ROM still literally screams, not to mention I still have 14.81M of free program and 23.36 free storage.
Interesting the differences people experience with the same device and ROM.
I've been a longtime Black fan, Shadow, Majik, Satin. Also just recently used vp3G, it was fast and nice... and Schap's is badass! Credit to everyone because their is a different taste for anyone to go on. We must all be grateful that we are given options, thanks to all contributors.
....peace
I used all of JJ roms and Satin just did not work out .... Dymond being the best next to version Black 2....Trying all 3 Flavors of Satin, all failed trying to sync with Vista and would freeze after putting on Kaiser Home plugin....Schapps had no problems.
JJ is comming out with a new rom sometime,

Hope it all is in tac
My vote goes out to Schap's WM6 Pro 3.57a

not quite, has all the standard stuff but doesnt support Blackberry I Know Satin doesnt but Magik does and the next Black X will apparently. Not that I'm overly bothered as I should now be able to use Activesync at work...

Need good BlueTooth ROM ?

Hello,
I'm havering trouble getting Blue tooth to work with my current and favorite ROM. Ive never use bluetooth before so it could be incompetence on my part, software, bad hardware, my cheap BT stick or. the ROM.
I'd like to rule out the ROM so I'd like to try a proven BT freidly one. Ive used just about every thing here (but never tried blue tooth). I'd prefer 6.5 but 6.1I will do. I particularly like FTW titaum and KAIs golden globe Manilla 2d.
But really any thing that has a proven goot BT is fine. My problem is my phone conects & shows up on the pc but seems to immediately disconnect. In addition my Platronics(?) ear ...dongle doesn't show up at all.
Any suggestion at all are welcome, rom or otherwise.
Regards, PK
I know crc's bluetooth works, and my rom (both are 6.1), but I have gotten so involved with cooking my own rom that I don't get to try everyone's rom.
I'm currently working on my own 6.5 rom, but I am much slower at cooking and testing than the other chefs here that manage to churn out 6.5 builds almost daily. I might have a 6.5 release in a few weeks lol.
You might just have to play with a few roms and see what you come up with.
Ok thanks, I'll try to dig it up
Regards.PK
