Dear All senior members of this forum,
i'm confused in understanding the areas taken care by updating the RADIO ROM of UNIVERSAL. can anyone just list down the benifits for updating a radio rom.
i want to make sure if one has to stay updated with the latest radio rom available of would the stock radio rom (Mine 1.09.00) stays fine forever.
looking forward,
farhaan rehmani
hi farehmani, I'm not a guru nor a senior member. But from what I understand.. updates radio ROMS are musch like the same as updated sortware. It has fixes for old problems like bad reception, low quality call audio... stuff like that.
But from what I've heard, the best radio for you also depends on your carrier/location... so just try all of 'em out. See which works best for you... you can easily change radio ROM versions anyway (no need to do hard reset, a soft reset is enough).
I would say, "if its aint broken, don't fix it"
Generally, the latest radio ROM gives you better reception, better sound quality. There are some people on this forum, who had problems with their device with respect to the latency of their devices in answering the calls. Most of them got it resolved by upgrading their device to the latest radio(ATM, the latest one is 1.15)
So, the bottomline is that if you facing problem(s) with your device regarding its phone part, the, you may consider upgrading the radio
thanx but i have another question...
Thanx for answering,
i asked this question cuz since i updated my pda with Jwrightmcps's ROM 2.02.00 WWE. i am unable to send MMS (there is no problem in settings) as it keeps the mms in the outbox with a pending sign of clock on it after uploading 95 or say 99%. secondly i was unable to sign in the MSN Live with this.
i used Radio 1.13.00. Could this be the problem. cuz i used 1.14.00 and 1.09.00 with previous versions of Win CE ROMS. they worked like a dream.
pls. advise.
farehmani.

the mms problem is not in the radio rom or Jw's rom. you just need to download the cab file with your operator settings and then you will be set.

I concur, it's not really the radio. It's either the WM6 ROM itself or you haven't got the correct settings.
i have read the wiki but still dont get it i can unrar jw newest rom just to get the radio only.but i have radio 15 from other source.how can i put it to my device?thanks

Tough to answer with any certainty without knowing more details. Could be your radio - I had that same problem with some radios. Since going with this ROM I have not had the problem. Also what apps do you have loaded?
Mark.
peter, it is something you have done as no one else has had this issue.
What radio? What software have you installed? Using a different Dialer? Hard reset?
We need more information besides "it doesn't work".
And as long as we're giving advice, this forum prefers possible concerns or issues be posted in the already available thread.
For example; if you're having problems with Black Majik, no need to start another thread, just post in the already available thread.
Thanks

Yes first I thought it is the radio so I switched to Radio 1.43 but the problem is still there. Now I found out it is more the case when I`m connected via GPRS that the button as well as the "end" software button dòn`t work ...
Applications which I use - no extra phon software, but magic button or the as follows: sk software, skype, sprite backup, webis etc.
It's your hardware controller card, gone bad. After some time all of your front button will stop responding. I had the same problem, sent to Dopod service center and got it fixed.
Its not any of ROM issues what so ever. Its a common defect of some earlier batch, as told by the techies at the Service Center.

Heh, I made the same assertion once and was told on no uncertain terms that I was wrong.
It seems that it is not the hardware because it is wonderful working when I`m not online with GPRS or 3G !
So what elese can I do ? Should I try another ROM or can I just install an updated file for the GPRS issue ?
PLs help
please remember this is a Dev forum and I believe you answered your own question try flashing another ROM and see if that fixes it. I have no idea about updated GPRS software - you mean a radio ROM? just flash another OS and see if that works its not a problem with 3Gvp's rom but maybe you had a bad flash

Hmmm... that's an interesting twist on the problem I've never heard before. I would suggest a) hard reset b) reflash my ROM c) flash another ROM. I'd probably also go with a Cingular version of the radio for now ... 1.40 or 1.48.
VP - shouldn`t I start with a new radio rom version before I reinstall your ROM ??? At the moment I`m using the 1.43 version
Up to you, but I thought you said you'd already changed radios. I'd probably go for the hard reset and see if it works before installing anything else.
Hi VP, your advice worked - I changed to ROM 1.48 and now when I dial the online connection is stopped and reactivated after the phon call.
THANK you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best regards

Active Sync Error

Hi all,
I've upgraded my HTC hermes to this *nice* ROM. I'm having some issues with BT. It seems configuration stay in a read only mode. Every time I change the config (for example "enable file sharing") , next time I enable BT it's not keeping the options...For example..every time I start tomtom I have to type the security code for the BT receiver. Everytime...it just loose it all the times. Is there a workaround?

yeah this is generally known. I had a problem too with BT, so I reflashed to the org. HTC WM6.0 ROM.There isn't a fix. Use a later version of Schaps ROM.
Thereby you already ask the same question here Like my experience is there too. Why start a new thread again?
Is this a known issue? I've search but found nothing on this...I don't want to upgrade to latest Schap's rom cause there is just 2 supported languages...

No man you failed to read my post. I don't have of these issues. I don't have any dutch version. I don't get any bluetooth disconnection. I don't have any crash activating BT or deactivating bt. I work perfectly BUT BT pairing doesn't keep the passkey! So everytime I have to manually provide it...

I understand perfectly what the problem is. I don't understand why you have to start another thread if you have ask that same question in 2 different relevant threads, in English and Italian.I am now gonna unsubscribe this thread now.
Lets face it, that is a very old ROM and if you can't find previous mentioned issues in the original ROM thread then you're probably not going to get any solutions. There is hardly anybody still using that ROM who still visits this forum.
Hard reset or reinstall the ROM see if that changes anything, use a newer ROM or just live with it.

Very old rom? It's 1 year old and unfortunately the newest version has been translated just in EN and FR. I've also tried an hard reset but nothing...
And I found out that also some users with the mAdkoE ROM reported the same problem...
thanks anyway Wam
Sorry to bother you, I'm sure this info is somewhere (or if I understood it a bit better), but if someone could clear a few things up:
1) Have downloaded Hard-SPL 1.23, 1.34 and the latest version - is the newer better/more stable? Or I do have to use the one that matches the ROM I am flashing to?
2) If I want to do a cooked a ROM, will any of the versions of Hard-SPL listed above work for that too?
3) Is there an easy way to back up operator settings (internet, voice mail number etc?) Just got it so there's nothing else on it that needs backing up.
4) Offical ROMs are in .exe format, can I just install them on to my XDA?
Edit: Found the official ROMs, just required looking through several pages (sorry). Can anyone answer the other questions, especially how to back-up network settings.
For the mo I just want to get rid of the O2 branding.
Thanks for your time - have been a mod on several forums and I know you end up having to answer questions 20 times over.
Cheers,
Joe
Regarding Hard SPL, read here fully and carefully. It will tell you all you need to know.
With regards to ROMs, you could use the official ones but you will find AZTOR ROMs far superior. (AZTOR = Alpha Zero Tweaked Official ROM) or alternatively Shaks.P ROM in my signature which is set up for the UK. Both will automatically detect your network and use the correct settings and both are as stable as the original ROMs but with improved performance
I have a UK o2 xda ignito, and the only hard spl I have used is 1.93 from this thread.

Most of the modded roms can be flashed with the included utilities. But most of the official 2.03 roms can only be flashed from internal storage.
Any info you need can be found with the search function, with a little time.
All the best.

Responding To Questions:
1) It doesn't have to match your original SPL...if the one you have downloaded works then use it. Very few chefs recommend a specific Hard SPL with there ROM. But this is so rare.
2) if you want to flash a unsigned ROM then you need a developers edition Hards SPL.....or jocky's works as well....I personally use 1.93 so I recommend that one.
3) don't worry about backing up operators settings.....most of these roms come with a "Connection Setup" which allows you to select from a list of operators and it does everything for you. I also have a little app for this if your rom doesn't have this.
@Everyone: thanks for your help.
Will install the 1.93 Developers HSPL and see how that goes.
Can anyone recommend a ROM (don't want any visual tweaks)?
Thanks again
Asking such a question can close this thread .........
This is out of the respect of the chefs who work hard. Please refrain from this topic regarding best roms, etc.
Just try them out and read the threads.

I understand people have put a lot of hard work in and have taken a look at a few cooked ROMs, and fully intend to start cooking my own when (if) I have learned the skills.
However just got it and it has O2 branding, so i'd like to play with the original interface for a day or two before I start seeing what can really be done with the interface
Yeah, good idea, this will allow you to compare the true difference between a original and a cooked Rom. That is where one can begin to truly see how much better a cooked Rom is.
AZTOR version for UK?
Gonna try the AZTOR, looks like its got some solid improvements without affecting the UI, which version (WWE/GER) are using for the UK Mike?
Thanks again everyone, you've been a great help.

All,
Due to good success in the Blue Angel section, I have decided to open a Questions and Answers thread on this section of the forum as well. This will be good to keep the number of new threads with questions down to a minimum, which will make new threads essentially for people that are contributing to the Vogue in any way. This includes but is not limited to people that are providing
*New Roms and Kitchens
*Programs and Apps
*Fixes
*Skins
*Tips and Tricks
However, I have a life (and so do most of you), which is why I would like to request the help from other Seniors (or anyone who knows the answer really ) to monitor the thread as well. This will have the added side effect of creating an ever self updating knowledge base that will far extend the content of the Wiki. This will in turn save us from having to answer the same question 37000 times...
Without further ado, lets go for it!

Hi there Gents any input
Barogi awesome so far for v2; media player not staying in full screen mode though, and manila home weather under clock wont update when you push update now also getting error message for manila home on reboot
Great idea for a faq page!
I have been using a NFSfan rom on my bell vogue for a while, and it crapped out today for some reason. Rather than put another WM build on it, I wanted to change to Android.
I have looked through many pages in here, but I can't find a simple tutorial on switch from a custom WM build to a Android build. I prefer to use the NAND method so that I don't ever have to see WM again...
Can someone create or point me towards a step-by-step guide for installing Android? Keep in mind that I have absolutely no Android experience, and that my custom ROM is completely messed up, so would it make for sense to flash the a manf build and upgrade from there?
Thanks

I have a question:
I recently flashed the Bell rom with the latest radio (I couldn't get the radio only nbh to apply properly), and then subsequently flashed with the latest NagROM rom (which is awesome btw).
Now of course, at startup i have the nice HTC screen with the rom version etc, followed by an AWFUL blue BELL screen (and then the nice orange wm6.5 screen).
Is it possible to change the blue BELL screen? And if so how?

There was a cab to change that somewhere around here in this section of the forum. Alternatively, you can flash NFSFan's rom (which will get rid of it), or you can try mine as well and then reflash Nag's rom.

Question from mac+htc
mac+htc said:
Hey everyone,
So I was running NSFANS 6.5 ROM on my device (Amazing ROM btw) But I needed to revert back to the stock rom. I used the VZW updater to go back to the stock rom and I changed the esn on line. When I dialed the *228 and choose option 1 I got a failed message. So I called customer support and he walked me through a manual programing. Well that got voice working but when I went to use the data it wouldn't work. I made sure all the network settings were right, and I still couldn't connect. Well then I hard reset the device and now I am back to square 1. No voice no data. Is this something from NSFANS rom that is messing the phone up? I don't want to call again because their tech support takes forever and I am afraid they are just going to tell me to take the phone into the store. Thanks in advance!

Why did you change the E$N? Where you using the device in a different carrier?
Back to your problem. Your EPST settings should survive a hard reset as those are parameters that are not stored in Windows (afaik). It really makes not difference which rom you are using (at least for Voice and SMS).
Lets focus on your main phone's capabilities first. If your EPST settings truly got lost, you will need to get them from Verizon again. The main ones are the MSD and MIN. Make sure that you write them down this time as you will need them again if they go bye bye.
As for your internet, you will probably need to set the correct username in the phone's programming as well (also info that you will need from Verizon, but it should be something like [email protected] or something like that)
Do that and let me know if this works. They will have to program this for you this time, but once you have the values that I mentioned before, you will be able to do it yourself.

Try to get Barogi's latest "lite" rom. Also, you can't go wrong with vin's 28014 or NFSFan's rom. I would recommend mine, but I think they might be a little heavy for what you want. Good luck.
i checked out NSFSfan. It was nice, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much for what I want. Ill check out the other you suggested before i just flash back to stock rom

Try to avoid stock if you can... it has a bad tendency of being too heavy on the extra apps.
I checked out just SS's of both. Both look awesome, but theres something about the simple look ( or im just used to it since my 8125 ) of the stock look. I would like to have the look but the added memory of a cooked rom.
With NSFSfans, could you remove the today screen plug ins to get back to a more stock look?
Im runnin 2.1 android eclair at the moment, and im barley pulling a full day battery with no data/bluetooth. With the old winmo, I was getting 2.5 days-3days. Thats another main concern for me.
