Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone could please tell me which ROM is best for good battery life and excellent stability? I have been having problems with the shipped WM5 ROM and want to throw my Dopod in the ocean! Stability sucks, keys stop working, it's just awful.
I hope a good WM6 upgrade will fix my problems!! Please help.

If you're willing to try one, then try many. You'll get lots of opinions, but like anything - it's your own that will count.
Read through the rom threads and pick one. They're all pretty good - just depends on what you want it to include.
All the ROMS have their positive's and negative's. but if u just want to move to WM6 and things just work (eg, dont have to enter settings, etc..) then download the SEA dopod WM6 ROM. it has all the settings for Australian providers and after 2weeks of useage, ive had no major issues.
in short
if u want things to just work...... SEA dopod WM6 ROM
if u want a customized ROM (manual settings entry)..... pick any ROM
(overall the devices with WM6 are more stable and increase battery performance)
just try them all!!

Thanks Matt, I have been trawling and trawling and can't really come up with an answer to my question that is why I was hoping that someone with some experience might be able to help.
Thanks,

Thanks, Drooch, I might just give that a go.

Hi guys,
i've looked everywhere (here and other forums) for a solution to this issue and i've found nothing on it!
I'm Running a standard spec (out of the box) unlocked XDA2s on O2 PAYG, no updates made to anything.
Basically, if i powered on the device from scratch or after soft reset, and send a message i receive the "message sent" bubble which dissapears shortly after.
No problems there.
But, if the dialer opens for any reason -making a call or after receiving a call etc..- and send a message anytime after that, the dialer fires up everytime i get the "message sent" bubble.
if i then soft reset again, the problem stops.... what is causing this?
i can't find any info on this if its a known bug/issue.
i would like to update all the roms etc, but i don't want to loose any functionality of what i have and i've read mixed opinions of post-update stability.
If an update is all there is left to try, which rom(s) should i use?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as its doin my head in!
This is one of my only 2 issues with the unit, the other is BT related so i'll post in seperate topic.
Many thanks in advance.
which rom are you on???
ive never heard of this, but maybe you should think about upgrading, as the newer roms do fix a lot of known bugs, and maybe this is just one of the many that are minor and known to everyone..
post your rom specs.....
joey.

as i stated, its a standard out-of-the box XDA2s:
ROM VERSION 1.31.00 WWE
ROM DATE 12/13/04
RADIO 1.06.00
PROTOCOL 1337.38
ExtROM VERSION 1.31.139 WWE
FYI I'm running SPV M2000 on orange with 'out of the box' settings and I get none of this. I know its not much help but its better than that tumbleweed moment when no one else has the issue!
hmmmm...
I want to upgrade it, i've read all the tat on the wiki pages but want some verification of which rom etc i should go for.
I need it to be stable, i can't deal with worse BT/WiFi/Cam than i have already as apart from these 2 issues i have, all is well!
I hard-reset yesterday and removed the O2 rubbish - no difference made though and i kinda miss the battery stats.
If upgrade is the best path to take, someone please list the upgrades i should make. with so many opinions in these forums i could do with a little guidance from others experiences.
Cheers.
Dickie
i didt have many issues apart from the fact it was an o2 rom, i think imate 1.40 would be ok for you, anything with WWE and 1.40 or higher really.
i hear the new o2 aisa 1.40is good, but i havent tried it yet, so cant comment, imate 1.40 is stable for me up to date, no crashes in 2-3 months.
joey jojo,
sorry bruv, just to verify; your using exactly the same phone as me with the imate rom? and is there any other stable upgrades you'd suggest?
Also, i read on another forum that there is a carrier-non-specific 1.40 rom released from O2 available here with WMP10 on it. correct? is this the asia rom? anyone had any dealing with this?
Cheers
Dickie

hello,
i have installed Helmi_WM2k6_v.1.1 WM6 OS 5.2.318 (Built 15341.0.0.0),
And as much as good as it looks,i am haveing problems,i cant get calls very well,the mobile gets stuck once in a while and i hear it has a lot of battery consumption.
Anyway,does anyone know a good nice rom,possibly i guess WM5 for now,until wm6 gets more stable.
Whatever rom you guys give me,tell me is it a rom that i just upgrade,or do i have to do something else?like put a radio in the directory of the rom?
Ohh and a link would be much appriciated.
come on guys,no one knows a good wm5 rom for the universal? the big problem i am having is that if the phone is unused for a while,people call me and it dosnt my phone wont ring(people that call me hear a dial tone)
if you want a good old reliable one...use jwrights 19096. its what i use aside from his crossbow roms which is actually pretty good... as for the link well you can blame m$ for taking it down. hope this helps
try 2.01.01PDA from pdaviet.net It's the best ROM I've ever used after Helmi AKU 3.5 and iMate, etc.... ROM
I think you'll be happy
Try jwrights 2.02

ivr been looking for months, noone seems to have this or want to try
Hi to all!
Is there someone who have an idea on how to upgrade a gsmart ms800 to wm6.1 or better on 6.5? i took a look at many forums and many sites but i've never cooked a rom and i don't know how to do it, i've downloaded the official roms but they all are for wm6.0...
Thank you in advance for any reply
No replies?? Can somebody help me?
Uuuuuuuup!
Uppetee!!!
Please create a new Category for Gigabyte Gsmart Phones!!!
Dear All,
I am also one of those persons who have Gigabyte Gsmart Phone which run
WM6 Professional , i reques u ppl to add more content to Gigabyte phones
also , as the are also WM6 phones only....
May be a new Category can be created for these phones....
Hope the Admin takes note of this!!!!
Hi hari_mkb
i'm so proud for receiving this post from you, because i've never receive any answer from this forum and i was thinking no one mind about gsmart users.. but i know we have a minor brand and so there are not so many "gsmarters". I think the only way is to ask to the other boys with gsmart to lift their voices only with a post in this (or other) thread and then i think we could do something good.
Have a good day
Me too
Yep, me too have a gsmart winmo phone - a MW700 and i'd love to put windows mobile 6.5 on it.
It's very hit and miss on this forum as to whether anyone will even bother to reply to you. I guess people are busy with other things on other phones.
I think we need a developer who buy a gsmart.. i tried to cook my own ms800 rom using the instructions on mybestpda but i had many problems. I so hope someone better than me can work on gsmart roms. I think i've lost time enought, so i prefer to wait.. bye bye
hi all
u can find more info about wm6.1 or 6.5 on ms800,mw700 here http://www.mybestpda.com/forum/mw700-ms800/
but one problem...site on russian language
good luck )
It's really from mybestpda i've start my adventure on cooking a rom for ms800.. because it's really a good site, but there is no roms for ms800.
There is a thread on cooking roms and i tried loosing so much time...
There is another site www.gigabyteclub.ru that is really good and is in Russian,but there there are only russian roms and i don't understand how to use the kitchen (in russian), google translator it's not enought for me....
Gsmart Problem
Hello guys, i have big problem, i try to flash my Gsmart MS800 with modified rom and now i can't start the phone, only see light display. Sombody know the key combination for bootloader menu? I want to reinstal the original one.
Hope smb will help me, otherwise i have to throw ot of the window this phone
If somebody have more info/help post me personal msg or find me in Skype: chiunomoreno_
Hi Chinomoreno,
i had a problem like you some months ago, and the main board of the phone was burned.. i hope it is not the same for you, mine was an original rom so i could use warranty.
I think it's better for you to go on www.mybestpda.com and search in the forum..
Hi and have a good luck
I don't understand why people do so...
What's wrong with the default ROM that the device was released on? I'm new to all this and I want to know what's so hot about flashing to a new ROM? Is it basically just a different theme for the device? Or is it specific applications that you need/want because it's cool to have?
Someone let me know what's so good about it because from reading the forum all of this stuff is confusing! HDSPL, SSPL and all that...huh??? Lol
I'm new to all of this and I just want some information because I'm looking forward to getting the new TP2 for T-Mobile. Maybe if I get a better idea why you guys do it and how do you do it, I can learn and do these myself when I get my TP2.
Thanks guys!
Well
On my experience cooked ROM´s by our great chefs here are always much better than the custom ROM´s
They include stuff/apps/ etc. that normally is not included by default.
Actually if this site with their great chefs wouldn´t exist WM OS would be bad as hell!
So the best way is to read the Wiki to understand all the terms and procedures and then try one cooked ROM by yourself, you won´t regret!!
I think that for tp2 there is not yet any cooked ROM, but sure they will apear soon! (if not already )
Orb is correct check out the Rom section and read the "stickies" for further flashing details
Aight cool, thanks for the replies guys.

I think WM still would be great without chefs doing what they do. I mean WM6.5 looks great and WM6.1 is good. Yeah the older WM was horrible! Lol
I will probably get a different ROM only for apps because WM6.5 looks great and should run great like I said. Other then that I'm not interested really!
