After 3 terrible days dealing with diferent wm6.1 roms from here, I go back to my the old and stable K's Wm6 Final.
My experience with Wm6.1 has been completly awfull. HR, screen frezzes, white screens on load, no GSM, App crashes .... Even installing previously a official WWE rom.
I know that there are people working with 6.1 without problems but in my opinion, if somebody need a sure and confiable hermes phone better to stay away from 6.1.
Regards
Pd.: Wm6.1 Roms Installed: last from PDACorner, last from PDAViet, MRH 5.7, and NiaX ESP (All same problems)

Mmmm strange. I use the CRCs V11 since it is available and waiting for the next Shaps french one. Even if my hermes is "french", all applications are working fine (TomTom, a lot of GPS apps, Basic4PPC, astronomy softwares, PocketCM, Tcpmp, etc...). Even video calls are working fine. Battery consumption is fair (no push mail) with 1.47.00.10 radio rom. Till now i did not miss a call and speed is good (obviously, more you add apps, slower is your pda)
Btw, i always "flash" roms using sdcard method. IMO, it is the only reliable way (no possible usb deconnexion, so easy, PC independent,...)
Give a try to CRC's V11. Who knows? You could find your way through 6.1
Hope this helps
Wm6.1 problem
I agree with you. So far try out so many ROM with WM6.1. Encounter all sort of problems like hang when making calls, network not found, auto hard reset. But only Pays WWE 3.00 Final Full this ROM I never face all this problems at all. Perhaps you might want to give a try on Pays ROM 3.00. Cheers!
i'm using crc v11 till now and never experiencing any problem like that.
Did those roms, pays and crc, have Extended rom or are Big Storage?

CRC V11 stores elements in extended rom (as far as i know). If i can suggest something: As you experienced problems with 6.1, just start first with a rom which seems stable. As a test, it is not so important to be Big Storage or not
I have been using MRH 5.5 for several weeks now with out a single freeze. Works great.
CRC12.1
definitely no problems. Unless you want to run microsoft's live search. The only thing that doesn't go and i haven't had a chance to tweak with s2u2 yet
its just ur device... plus u gotta no which one is best for u..
Cloudyfa 's Shadow_TE 2.1 WM6.1 is a stable ROM.
i had use it for about 4 months
Don't know. It could be a personal problem...
I went back to my well known K's Rom and the problems was still there. Now I'm sure that it is related to extended rom, that from time to time and without reason get automatically erased.
I have flash a well know oficial At&T Rom, as adviced by one of the best cookers here, then install again K's Rom final, and the problem disapeared for two days, but it is here again...
Does somebody know If I can flash just a oficial Extended Rom (instead of the full oficial AT&T Rom) or format the extended Storage with some program (pocket mechanic or some other like it)?. I'm a little tired of repeating the configuration proccess...
Thanks
I have flashed again the official At&t rom, as adviced by Dr. Puthingan, and then the K's Final Rom to nothing.
The problem still there.
When I was installing an App to the Extended_Rom the intallation hangs, and after reset all the contens of Extended Rom have dissapeared.
I found only a FilesToBeDeleted folder winth garbage inside (look at screenshoot)
Hey,
I was in the same situation as you were in a couple of months ago...
I've always wanted to tinker around with WM6.1 but I too also found the Ext.Rom to be unstable...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2228473&postcount=703
I always found myself flashing back to the reliable Shamanix Ultimate 2.0 Final.
Finally, I tried this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406111
And, It's been surprisingly stable and no Ext.ROM to deal with.
Again, before installation, you'll have to follow Dr. P's instructions:

Hope this helps

You might want to try the official dopod rom then back whichever 6.1 you want. I found mine was better after doing that.
Hopefully the problems is solved....
I reinstall the At&T, as adviced by Dr. Puttinghan, hard-spl 7, and then the Faria/Dr. Puttinghan Clean Rom.
Now, all is working without issues..

Hi All,
I'm quite new to ROM upgrades, but have done a couple.
I'm very keen though on putting WM6 on my Orange M5000, but not sure which you guys think would be best for me to try.
I've spent the last couple of days reading over and over the threads about:-
1. PDAVIET 2.00.07 PRO
2. i-mate JASJAR Crossbow Rom Update 2.01.06 WWE
3. New WM6 Rom of Helmi_c (V1.1)
But am now even more confused than I was before I started, I'm kind of leaning towards the i-mate JASJAR Crossbow Rom Update 2.01.06 WWE, but really dont know why.
Any help would be much appreciated
Those PDAViet ROM's are modified versions of Helmi's earlier ROM, but they've then been filled with third party apps that I don't want. I've been using Helmi's v1.1 for a while and I'm very happy with it.
I haven't tried JWright's Crossbow ROM's, because I'm settled with Helmi's and the base image is the same. When a newer build comes out though, I'll probably upgrade again, no matter who releases it.

The latest PDAViet 2.00.07 PRO combined the Helmi and Jasjar. Basically, they combined what works best in each ROM and all the known fixed to create a better ROM. Basically that what cooked ROM is. You combined the best ROM, tweaks, fixed, suggestions, etc... to create a better more stable ROM.

I tried all 3 roms, now i use PDAViet 2.00.07. I think this rom is the best one that has all necessary functions with big memory and less memory leakage. I can also use Bluetooth stereo with this rom.
There are several releases out there of WM6.1 all of them claiming that they are NON BETA.
BUILD 19199.0.7.0
Pays ROM Lite & Full - WM6.1 WWE with Big Storage - 11-02-2008

Why so different build number? Stability issues in the higher number builds?
And just for curiosity... does anyone know what the hell are those number after the build number, for example 19199.x.x.x ?
Win 6.1 random freeze on multiple ROMS
Hi
I have been trying to install a stable rom to my hermes but i couldn't find one yet ;
i have tried Pays ,Shadows (TE &CE) and some clean edition but still i get stuck in some cases ;
if i have HTC home plugin installed my device freezez quickly ; and also it freezes mostly after waking device.
I have read the forum and as my unprofessional conclusion it is somehow releated with WM 6.1 builds . Does anyone have experience with this ?
PS:i have upgraded my radio and tried to install official rom before ins. anything.
thanx
bartan
I am a ROM freak
I've tried some of the listed ROM's.
I was hooked on vp3G's 3.62 ROM for a while.
I was then hooked on TNT 2.0 --> TNT SE (Stable but still didn't have the cool look)
I then tried K's ROM (very nice looking but buggy) --> I currently have the K's FINAL Full (6mbpp) (very nice looking but stable)
This has been the most stable and responsive and over all satisfactory of ROM's i've tried so far.
As far as Radio i'm still trying to figure that out. I've switched between 1.40 to 1.54 and not i'm currently on 1.48 (i believe this was the radio used with vp3G's Rom)
Good luck w/ your search.
nice thread, i was kinda of thinking on the same lines i need to know what those numbers mean also.
They are all beta ROMS, install at your own risk. But stability wise some of them might be better than others. Good luck!
I mentioned a lot of times in my 3.00 rom thread that the main software is beta. But the development of my work is final.

Under WM5 this used to be the AKU see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_kit_upgrade
I guess it's still the same for WM6 and WM6.1
I tried the latest Roms from Pay and Faria.
With both i had several hard-resets in the last days.
Which 6.1 Roms are you using?
i use N Pandora 9b1 (it is windows 6.1) and it is fast and stable , no hard resets
edward
I also have been using N Pandora 9b1 for a couple of weeks now and it's been very fast and stable. I have always used Pandora's ROM's and I think they are the best.
Activesync
I synchronized emails, task, contacts... with all WM6.1 Rom, successfully.
shadow te - very fast and stable with lots of apps installed
faria dr. putt... also very fast and stable
p.s. wm6.0 - best rom, K's (can't wait for 6.1 edition)

+1 for Pays . I'm not a power user (no data plan), so I want some basic functionality, only very useful apps included, and lots of stability/reliability. So far Pays ROM is my pick!
As Microsoft doesn't seem to want to mention that WM 6.1 even exists, maybe it is a pile of crap, and they can't get it stable enough for general release? There must be some reason why they didn't even talk about it at MWC 2008.
Could be that they haven't finished comparing all the ROMs on XDA-Devs to find which one they want to use!?
I have tried a few of these new ROMs. Randomize seemed good, but it ended up freezing at second boot screen and would not do anything. Also, no bluetooth explorer.. Now onto CRCs PHK v12 Release 6. All good so far - fast, stable, reliable. Easily connects to wifi, activesync, bluetooth everything. Have a few apps running ok. Not interested in HTC Home, so have Samsung clock instead. Have no complaints except that Solitaire is missing! Have compensated by installing a Gameboy emulator with heaps of games...

that's what I second. After using Schaps for several months...and before Jas' black varieties..
Well I"ve always Stuck with the Notion that if it Doesn't Say FINAL on the Rom Release update... It's Still in Beta and the Dev is Still Working the Lil bugs out and Tweaking Still also Schaps Rom says "Schap's WM6.1 Pro 4.40 Beta ROM - 31-01-2008" lol Pretty much self Explanatory lol But most of These 6.1 Roms Will be in Beta .... Look for the Final then you know it's Sweet
This is something I've been trying to figure out myself.
I see numbers like CE OS 5.2.1620 (build 19521.1.1.0) and CS OS 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0).
From what I can tell, CE OS 5.2.19199 Build 5.2.191999 is the RTM build, but I've yet to find anything that lists an official RTM version number from microsoft.
is the official wm6 the stablest than others cooked rom ???
No, quite the opposite. In most cases you will find that cooked roms included fix's / tweaks that improve the reliability of the official rom.
And which rom is the stablest ???
stability issues normally occur when you start to install 3rd party applications. I recommend you try a few out, customize them and then see which ones you find stable. Obviously the more recent the rom, the more stable they are likely to be due to them including the latest patches etc.
for stability I like vp3g rom
Nobody can actually tell you which is the best because it`s all depends on individual device taste, performance, radio and app preference. So, you need to start reading the cooks threads, do some testing and decide which one works best for your device.
No doubt here.
I have installed nearly all cooked roms, and as conclusion ...
One fail here the other fail there.
Now I'm on last K's rom. For me the most stable and reliable.
More than two month without flashing...
Roms are like flawours, but if you want to flash and rest for a while, for sure K's is the best choice.
Regards
for my choise there are 2 roms:
1) K's Rom WM6.0 Final (I'm using the lite version for 2 months now)
2) Olio's Rom 3.54, also lite
both are smooth, small and really fast
vp3g all way. PLEASE COME BACK!!!
K's Rom for me is the best one. Tried TNT WM 6.1, It is a good rom, but 6.1 has its bugs, which I haven't been used to for months so I went back to K's. vp3g's is a awesome rom also.
Like TNT SE myself.... Dont forget to sim/cid unlock your phone before you Hard SPL it though, could cause problems otherwise.
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.

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.

Please help....

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

hi
i had a problem with my htc p3300 that was freezing all the time
i have windows mobile 6 on it now and i want to upgrade it to windows mobile 6.1 and was wondering which of the rom would you recommend to me:
this what i found so far:
1) Oop's Black v1.0 WWE CE OS 5.2.19949 ( Aku 1.2 )
2) Artemis Touch Roms WWE WM6.1(3.01)(4.0)(4.01)(4.02)
3) 4.02 Vanilla
if you have any other roms that you recommend that will be very appritiated
thank you.
i've found Ooops black to be best for me. tried loads too.. gonna try the manilla 2d 1's this week and see what there like..
YuE ROMs are the best, esp 4.4. You can search and get them from this forum.
Its like saying does Chocolate milkshake taste better than banana milkshake. You have to try it to taste it.
Personally i have tried so many roms, i have had problems one way or another.
Freshly installed worked for a couple of days, then you find out it has stability issues.
Im currently using 4.02 Vanilla with no apps installed into the main device mem, but apps running of the mem card. Seems to be the stablest rom i have used.
I would say each to their own.
I've tried loads of roms as well and settled for Vanilla 4.02 without
cube, cause I find it just works better , I also use Ultimate launch
with it and it looks good,
Just waiting to try one of the Manilla roms but waiting till all the problems are ironed out
