Official HTC WM6 release - your opinions please

We've been waiting quite a long time for this moment, and finally it's here. All of you who already flashed official WM6 ROM into their Hermeses - please post your thoughts about it, how does it look like (screenshots are welcome), is it stable, does it lack some of the features, etc. For example: does it have VoIP on board? Is dialer and comm mgr 'old-style', or maybe 'touch-style'?
I hope that this topic could help us to decide whether to go for flashing official WM6, or maybe our chefs ROMs. Personally, I'm a little bit confused, if I should flash official, or Black Majik, or maybe wait for freshly cooked ROMs..? Thanks for all your input in advance.

My plan is to take this new ROM and do my first stripped-down Hermes ROM (used to do it on Blue Angel but not Hermes so far) for speed and simplicity.
If I work out how to add in any updated drivers our cooks here have fiund I will but at a later date once I've got the procedure down.

definitely wait for freshly cooked ROMs

A2DP
Basically, i'd like to know how the a2dp is on this ROM. I use a2dp a lot since my phone is also my mp3 player. So does this rom have updated/latest a2dp driver? or is it no different than the other official roms when it comes to a2dp? So far Sleuth's latest has been the one with the best a2dp but if this rom comes with new/updated/latest a2dp drivers then it should be better right? user opinions please

Dialer Screen SUCK... looks the same as old wm5 one, Office does not include onenote Splash suck. everything else at the moment ok.. i think i start using it for just few hours..

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.

@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.

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

where is the standard WWE 6.1 rom for our trinity

I have frustrated of trying all the roms. Manila 3D, touch Flo.... etc...
All of them have some bugs and need to resolve.
Like today, when I need the GPS thing to be functioning and guess wat, in the end i paid the taxi driver for the route.
So please, may I ask, where I could download the official WWE 6.1 rom for our trinity.
thank you
further, i have done the Hard spl, do i need to do anything if i downgrade it back to WM5?
thank you

If you have hard-spl you need anything else but download the official rom from HTC to have the WM5
Official WM6.1 for trinity does not exist...only here in XDA.
try the Roms made by tnyynt to get all you need from your trinity... they are fast and stable...they are a bit old but i still use them since i don't like manilla aswell.

Nope, there was official wm6.0 rom update for dopod d810. Try this.

WM 6.5 ROM for hTC P3300-P3350_Artemis&Love

2nd version of wm6.5 rom cooked with m2d
go to PDA MOBIZ
I've tested the first version (Dhee_WM6.5_b1_21139), after i instalind m2d update 19, my artemis run slowly with omap configured to 240 mhz.

Again
Someone can deleted this thread plz

This one hasnt been posted yet. I'm amazed by the amount of "crap" the cookers from pdamobiz manage to put in. Why not make a vanilla/lite rom, this is just silly

yeah, it was posted in the big thread yesterday
its his beta2 rom with rom version 21140.5
and i totally agree with you dutchcow, but i'm impressed that they manage to also keep it running quick and with so much free memory

Ah yeah you're right, just noticed it now
I've tried extracting these roms and they dont extract properly, must be "protected". I cant wait for a Yue's extra lite 6.5 rom or something similar.

new wm6.5 sys and xip uploads

Hi guys, I tried this last night, yea its quick but as soon as i changed that iphone theme with something more like able, the Playboy Playmate Review by Phonatic and a few other Apps, it slowed down also it contains that activesync bug too. Gotta remember its Beta and hope some of our experienced cookers can rape and mark it with there own stamp !!

I had this rom for 3 days and it is really slow. I did not like the way it works and everything when a new message is received, I try to use the manilla it would hang. Hence I used the other 6.5 Rom from PDAviet. It is stable and also consume less battery than PDAMobiz rom.

anyone had luck finding sys 21140 in english??

hello I wanted to know if there is a way to make the Italian language in your rom that I think is just wonderful and thanks

Hello, i'm Thai and very impressive with this rom after using 2 days.
I think he made this rom by using Extra Tools (Full SYS and Full XIP ported)
This rom use Camera software Ver 6.13 so you can fix focus quickly and include with Panorama Mode.
But the important is This rom is a beta Version.

Too bad the hardware does not support any kind of focus. It is impossible to get auto focus of any kind to work because the camera/lens simply cant support it. 6.13 is also included in Gullums rom and some other roms, unfortunately it wont allow you to focus on anything.

realy thanks

Hi,
I was wondering if theres a very fast and stable Rom who only has WM6.1 and anymore working with my diamond.???
Thank you very much for your answer

That's exactly what I want, too...a ultra CLEAN and FAST rom with just base system, so that I can install any soft I want.

There are plenty...
Look at the chef's LITE/LIGHT editions. Many of these do not contain Manila.
Chef 'swtos' just released an updated LIGHT ROM with no Manila.

Hi guys, I've read the entire internet looking for a solution...!
and I'm not able to find a solution... (probably because of my english skills...)
I've just bought an htc diamond on e-bay and it has installed a non-official rom which it has several troubles: Rom version 1.37.412.2 ESN
I've downloaded the last available rom in spanish (?):
(RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship)
from the htc spanish site but when I try to install it an ERROR[294] : INVALID VENDER ID, comes up. I've read about Upgrading, cooking, flashing and about Hard-SPL, but I'm not sure to understand rightly enough, so here's my question:
What should I do to install the rom downloaded from htc?
I understood that I have the problem because the hard-spl installed on my diamond causes the problem, so I guess I should install a new one...but which one?, and if I'm wrong... where may I find the information to solve my problem? I'm getting nuts of trying so many different things...
Lot's of thanks even if you don't answer, it's been a long read!

It's not that difficult, trust me...

My personal favourite ROM which sounds like it fits your needs is Suiller's Dia Duit ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440683
The beauty of this ROM is that, you simply put all your CABs into a directory on your Internal Storage. On hard reset / flashing, a script will automatically all your CABs for you! There's also a lot of other stuff that can be done (search for tweakPers.mscr in his thread).

nice nice really interesting... thank you people for your tips! i hope we can help someone with the same problem ))

When you look at people's custom roms, usually the ones without TF3D are called classic, lite, ultra lite, no manila etc.
The other thing you can do is go to settings and Today and remove the TF3D check box. TF3D will remain installed but it will no longer be running. You can get TF3D back by rechecking the box in Today settings.

make a list of no wanted and wishes language and wait a little bit.
you will get than your wishes rom.
