Official HTC Europe WM6 ROM - first impressions?

I downloaded right now the WWE version, but still working in my office, presumably until late night... :-((
So, please, who can quickly flash the new rom, share his/her first impressions with us!
(Especially: which OS it uses, what HTC-made utilities have been put in it, are there any new features comparing to the official HTC Asia-Dopod WM6 rom?, etc.)
Thanks!

I second this request. I'm quite decided to install Pdaviet Black&Blue 4.2, after my good experience with 4.0, but I'm curious to know about this, and these are localized too

I have a question :
if , after tried wm6 official HTC ROM , i decide to revert back to wm5 official Rom how can i do this ?
Why Htc haven't provided the wm5 ROM for going back if desired ?

It's pretty the same as WM5 but then WM6. After first boot it installs the same utils as it would in WM5 like TomTom, QuickGPS etc. (Also the ugly green dailer )
Windows Mobile 6 Professional 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
IPL 3.13.0001
SPL 3.13.0000
GSM 02.94.90
OS 3.13.0.0

that is terrible!!!!!
i hope tom finished his 4.2 version soon

Pretty much the same as the asia one but with Office 2007 and cleaner.
Its clean, stable, fast and once again CLEAN!! install what you like.
Im sticking to this, you also know its been tested better than the home cooked, hats off to the guys but I dont like junk.

i reinstall the touch 2.1 ( really i'm waiting b&b4.2 ) after ... 12 minutes.
So,its only localized ... and no extra software.
i prefer touch 2.1 or B&B 4.1
By

I think it´s more of the same stuff from HTC, no inovations, unlike the name of this company.
What i´m really curious to see is the new Rom from Tom.
Cheers

Whoa!! The time to fix for the GPS is much improved! I'll have to test it more tomorrow, but it could be as fast as the TyTN II now!! That is AWESOME!

I'm going to say I like the dopod version more. This one doesn't have Audio Manager or Voice Command installed. I don't see a "lock screen" feature on this either...

stable, memory drain 's gone: program memory still at 22mo after 12 hours. but the new rom has fewer memory for stockage: 20mo vs 51mo of Meschle's new rom.

this version has voicecommand. Lock screen is there, just goto the settings, today and enable the item
Its the same as any other base, vanilla rom.

Where is link for download

www.htc.com
Sign up to the club with your Serial Number and its in the updates section. Other places on this forum have posted links.
Im happy with it, I like its clean and fully tested so Im sticking to it. There may be a reason they havnt used th elatest rom like some other cooked ones. You have to remember,the people who make these roms know a hell of a lot more about them than we do.

Where to find new ROM
Hi guys,
I can't see any ROM upgrade on official HTC Europe website. I registered my device and created account in HTC Club. Now, after login I can't see ROM upgrade either in Phone software update nor in Other downloads. Could you check this out (or maybe ROM is in other section?).
Thanks

Please somebodu help!!!

Maybe there was some serious bug in ROM and they removed it from website? I double checked it with Firefox and IE and still can't find any ROM upgrade...

Voice command?
Where is that? Do you mean Voice Speed Dial?

Why my is my Hermes so unstable...

Hey. I have installed one of the new roms (19209) and of this time, my hermes always hangs (etc. when i receive a call or so, or in the morning after wake up from standby...)
Before i had Shadow 2.0 without problems (also WM6). Now (after 19209) i installed Shadow 2.1 and my hermes always hangs???
What could i do??
Please help me.
thx

I found that I was having the same issues, phone hard reseting itself and all sorts, I did the following to resolve:
Flash to Official wwe Windows mobile 6.0 AT&T rom
update my hard spl to the latest,
replace radio rom
update to WM 6.1 image of choice,
this is supposed to be an issue witht he big storage roms screwing with the phones storage, flashing to an original rom appears to resolve.
Cheers
Steve

wow, thanks for the fast reply.
But before i flashed the Shadow 2.1 i have flashed an non big Storage Rom.
i havent tried to reflash radio yet, but i will do that and then flash an original ROm first.
Which ROM do you prefer?
Thanks

Hihi....
personally I suggest you to flash an official rom first ,
then go to flash the PDAviet rom ( my OS version) ,
its lightning fast and yet stable. ^_^
enjoy! ^_^

Another try....
Hey.
So i have done the following:
1. Flash HARD-SPL v9 (i had v7)
2. Check for Bad Blocks via mtty (nothing found
3. Flash Official HTC Rom (non big storage)
4. Flash Radio 1.54.30.10
5. Flash MY OS PDAviet rom (Green & Clean Version)
6. Installed my prefered Software:
PhoneAlarm
Resco Explorer
Birthdays Today Plugin
Large Startmenu
FTouchSL v2.5
PCM Keyboard 0.14
PocketCM-0.20b
S2U2 0.99p
SPB Mobile SHell 2.0
After some soft reset (while application installation) it starts up normally to the today screen and then hangs :-(
Does any of my installed software hang up???? Did anybody of you know if any of the above listed software is bad
(I could remeber that i always have installed this software without any problems (in Shadows 2.0 TE rom)).

did you make a manual hardreset after flashing the rom?

Hmmm. The advice given was to flash the official AT&T ROM before doing anything else ... yet I do not see that step in the list of things you've done.
Instead I see you've flashed a different one. And you still remain unsatisfied with the outcome.
If your problems persist, I would highly suggest USING the advice you've been given before seeking additonal advice. If nothing else ... just out of respect for those who gave you that advice, to begin with.
Godspeed and good luck. I am personally happy with what WM6 is giving me, without needing to push the boundaries to where they are obviously currently at a breaking point with 6.1.
But If you absolutely find you have a NEED for WM6.1, where it's been stated to be somewhat flaky right now on the Hermes, I suggest you deal with that flakiness. After you've TAKEN THE ADVICE GIVEN, if it still doesn't work to your expectations, roll back and move on.
Just my own $0.02.

Hey isn't the "official HTC Rom" an official ROM?? Ill think it is an official non Big Storage.

@pvs: Thanks for the link.
I hat couple of freezes in the last days. Now i have found some time to reflash the rom you given me the link. After that i would flash the 1.54.30.10 radio and the G&C rom from PDAViet.net.
Ill report back..
Thx for your help

I have installed HardSPL-9. is this normal that my hermes hangs at 100% after flashing a rom????
The rom runs after flashing.
thx
popy

I have flashed the B&C PDAVIET Rom. I dont know if this is a bug of the rom, but no my Hermes takes about 10 secs to wake up from standby!!! Now ill miss almost every call
Please help....
thx
pOpY

pOpY,
As I had alluded to earlier, from following threads in this forum, it appears to me that the current WM6.1 ROM available is not yet ready for prime time. I have decided to remain happy with the 6.0 versions ... especially after reviewing the reports on exactly what has changed in 6.1 (not much).
Maybe it's time to honestly ask yourself if the currently available upgrade to 6.1 is really worth all this trouble.
Again, just my own POV here.
-pvs

I have the same problem with more than 6 different wm6.1 roms... it's a serious bug in wm6.1, all roms!

It seems that the wakeup bug is gone now. Just soft-Reseted my phone. Now it wakes up normally.
The wake bug i just have in the PDAVIET B&C Rom one time, now its gone (hope a long time )
In the other 19209 roms from PDAVIET i havent some of this wakeup bugs (just the other issues mentioned before).
I will report back...
cu
pOpY

Now it runs over 2 days, without a freeze
Will now install my software!
thx guys

Now it runs for 1 week without any problems
Flashing the AT&T Rom first solved my problem!!

Nice one, will check it out.

Do you testing this rom?I haven´t any tester.I need tester

great job
Thank u I'm tired of the memory issue with the vga rom I hope your rom is very stable. I'm testing for u but promise me to keep working on it if it's necessary.I'll tell u what.
btw did u try to install manilla 2d on it ?

Have been running for week without any major issues, M2D works well although a tad slower than the last rom i had from PDAMobiz.
Only niggle has been propensity to drop in and out of E/3G/H, strange as I would have thought that was a radio issue although I have not seen it with other roms and have been in the same location.
A good rom that has not needed a soft reset for a while.
Just about to flash to JEromes latest and test that - cheers.

sauzer: I have tried cook a Manilla rom with the same OS build,but some parts of manila doesn´t work,but i can´t fix,I haven´t any new kitchen with some better OS build,i have tried OS Build 21009(SYS and XIP),but my kitchen isn´t compactilible with this.Im using beta 2 and for me is good,i haven´t found any bug and don´t do Hardreset
And yes if i have some new OS build for QVGA,i have been cooking next better rom.
PS:I hate VGA resolution on P750,because i have 64mb of ram memory on 2.6 display is nonsense have VGA,and i have a most aplicacions for QVGA resolution.

thompson you really kick ass
This is the best rom I've ever tried it is fantastic the speed is incredible.
I never had any hang up even using opera 9.5 couldn't freeze my pda.
I have successfully installed manilla 2d and it looks great. I swear to god I was about to throw this **** and buy a different device. Thanks to you thompson I really can appreciate my asus p750.
every time I soft reset I'm impressed by the boot time, the memory is huge compared to before and it is not draining.
the only inconveniences are the Cyrillic keyboard and some Russian text(dialing rules).
Is there anyway I can use English layout for the keyboard as the default layout?
I'll keep posting if I discover something else.
many thanks

?I have in plane delete the russian keybord and give in rom Fingerkeyboard and so much better T9

I Have a new rom with OS build 21042, but i haven´t P750, can anyone test it?

Is this ROM WWE? If yes - I can test it

Yeah is WWE, im from Czech republic and i make only WWE roms, roms in RU is for me nothing.I must Rom upload, and please add to your post some screens, thanks.

Rom for testing: http://www.edisk.cz/stahni/89630/PegasusP.nb0_58.78MB.html

OK. Downloading.

Some short experience?

OK. I think You use Barin WWE Kitchen from asusmobile.ru - I see same bugs with dial pad which I wrote on his topic - no buttons on PIN input screen and dialpad. How fix - don't now

I don´t use Pin codeI test it, how i have P750 at home...for me is not important.

I found what wrong - in SYS missing packet Phone_dpi_96_resh_240_resv_320.
If you add this packet from any kitchen - it's be OK!

Ok, thanks, i will repair.

rom stable thank you very much. chat messages not alone. How can we do chat messages?

Is there a stable WM 6.5 ROM for the P3600 (NOT 3600i)?

Hi,
I have to flash the rom anyway (there are some strange things happening to my device, I fear it is hijacked). Since I am only an interested end user, not so much interested in testing - I would like to know whether I should use one of the latest WM6.5 or a stable WM6.1 rom. I already have a 6.1 rom, but a quite early one ([english ROM LVSW_Trinity_WM6_v2.0.1.1 (2007-05-27)]) and thus not so reliable.
The first issue, however is, since I own a P3600 (400 MHz only) with ROM: 128 MB and RAM: 64 MB SDRA only, whether WM 6.5 would ever run stable on this device. Does anyone have a well founded opinion on this issue?
Anyway, what would be the most stable version?
From my side, no language preference, English would be as fine as German.
Thank you for any kind response!

stable ROM
Hi,
Chanvi 's one are good ROM(s) .. On my opinion, i prefer the 6.1 rom with manila 2D more usable than 6.5 with CHome ...
I'use this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472178
"Update Feb-13-2009 : OS 21139.5.0.0 Manila 2D Iolite-Footprints .
This Rom is a hybrid WM 6.1/6.5"
Great ROM !
regards

[ROM] [WWE] Windows Phone 6.5 21815 by Savesaint [Online] [Updated 2009.06.18]
This one is more stable, then Chanvi's, from my opinion, i had much more bugs using different builds from chanvi's, even in different customisations.
Savesaint's has it's own bugs, and i can't customise it (because it's not a kitchen), but i prefer using that one.
But 3600's wm5 doesn't look like this one

the both sent ROM is 6.5 and as i know it always Memery hungry . does anubody knows whis ROM is the best in 6.1?

I use from 3 month now and i have no problem with FInixNOver 3.7.2 light, before i use FInixNOver 3.7.2 manilla and it work very good.I was change it becose in manilla i have 12 mb free memory and igo stops sometimes.

this is another vote for the FInixNOver 3.7.2 light rom, for stability you cant get anything better than this ... i've tried a lot of roms and have allways gone back to this one.
I've tried all the 6.5 version roms and to be honest mate ... dont go there, they all have their issues.

give it a try to 6.5
I have been testing for a while now some 6.5 Roms. From my experience they have bugs, not all the programs can't work on 6.5, etc...
But I am confident since the savesaint 815 that we are going to have a very stable Rom soon. From my experience this was the best in 6.5 roms.
The few bugs that the rom have are solve by now.

Must wait developments... until Stable!

Yeah
I agree, things got to get done. WM 6.5 it's not final version yet. Still in development from Microsoft... so got to wait a bit more so that we can really talk about a stable ROM.
Until there, with minor or sometimes a bit major bugs, the latest Builds are working better...

installed the rom and after playing with it for a while, i must say that this rom is very good. quick and stable. so i think i stick with this rom for a while.
wm 6.5 is cool, but it soo slow with newer releases, so that i cant use it anymore.

I am the same opinion, for now I'll stay with version 6.1 light version to not have problems with iGO.I find on the net windows mobile 5, original vesion HTC P 3600 and I thinking to install that to comarare wm5 and wm6.1. I bought SPV M700 from orange, 2 years ago.

first i was very happy with wm6.5 (first releases). But the more wm6.5 goes further, it's soo slow and the response time is very long (i use spb mobile shell).
I never had problems with tomtom, but with the last wm6.5 releases tomtom runs so slow

Only if you want internet radio.

You all welcome to try my rOms.

If you are looking for stability, I definitely recommend trying Tomme45i's latest ROM series:
[ROM+KITCHEN][WWE][26.08.09]WM 6.1.21054 + 6.5.23017 Classic
He has stripped away the fancier elements of 6.5 (so personal preference will play a part in deciding if it is the ROM for you) but it's incredibly stable, has excellent memory handling and suffers from no memory leaks.
It is probably the last of his Trinity ROMS, so well worth checking out.
Hope this helps,
Matt.

Looking for a simple ROM

while i know all the rage is with the TouchFLO and other GUI's, i really don't want them. I like SPB Shell so much better since it's very customizable as to where and what you want on your screen.
with that being said, i would like a simple ROM with just the basics like:
internet sharing
3d drivers (if possible)
VC
contacts
camera
remote desktop
active sync
adobe
comm mananger
IE (with PIE)
java
notes
pictures and vid
sim manager
voice recorder
ZIP and
GPS apps (quick gps and maybe tomtom or garmin).
no opera or youtube or fancy tele-pad (it actually interferes with Privus Caller-ID). I install a lot of my own apps like Core Player and games.
is there such a ROM for a user like me? I find all these extra UI's to take up a lot of space which otherwise can be used more efficiently.
if there is such a ROM, please direct. Thanks!!

Hi, i dont like 6.5, tried 3 ver, and don't like it at all.
Is there some completely verified and lite ver 6.1
Don't have the nerves to download and try couple of them...
Please...

try the lite versions of either ENERGY rom or GEN Y rom they are dependable roms
but i would like to reinstate that roms are ery personal things and experiences vary among users depending on their core needs...
ALL THE BEST n PEACE

Thx,
i used Dia Duit ROM v1.6.7 "official" - based on 2.11.70.1
If it's not sutable, I;l try it.

Quick question on clarity:
IF i download the RUU, do I still have to hard-SPL my diamond? i don't seem to understand what Hard-SPL is used for if RUU is packaged in the ROM upgrade.

any unofficial ROM and u need hard SPL

OK, so i tired to get Hard-SPL to get on my Diamond and failed.
apparently i have hard-spl 1.93 vs. 1.23/24?!?!????
what are my options now? i would like to try different radios (maybe even the polaris' radio since i get GPS lock no longer than 2 minutes while the diamond 1.00.25.08 takes... well, if it did would be a miracle).
how now brown cow? what can i do now to get newer/better radio roms?
thanks!!
