Hi there again,
I've been doing a lot of reading and searching through the forum and I now understand a lot more about my XDA - luvverly...
But I have a couple of questions - I have looked I promise but I can't find anything.. If I've missed something please forgive me !
This is all based on the fact that I still haven't upgraded the ROM to 1.1 or PPC 2003 (I'm kind of waiting for 1.2! - looks exciting!).. Yes I know I should, but are these problems common to standard PPC 2002 and will get fixed or are there other answers ?
1) Is PPC 2002 software that I install compatible with PPC 2003 ? I've got a shedload of freeware that states PPC 2002 only - is it a case of it's just untested ?
2) Program stopping - this is a major pain, when I cradle the unit and ActiveSync kicks in, it errors with "unresolved" if I have programs running.. so I have to go into memory etc and stop everything before I cradle it... I'm still not sure I understand the concept of keeping the progs open when I've exited them - can anyone help me here ? Is it like having a service in NT ?
Sorry for all of the questions, I know I should upgrade, but I like to understand why I'm upgrading first, so I'd really appreciate any help you can give.
Oh and my number port still hasn't happened.............. :evil:
Well don't all rush at once :lol:
I've sorted the brightness thing - it's to do with the background picture still being selected when I added a new theme... fairly basic stuff I realise..!
For Q1)
Most PPC2003 APP compatible with PPC2002, however some of them will cause fatal error on the machine -- Such as BatteryPack 2003 5.05 (or any version earlier). The machine will never bootup after installed the 5.05 version, except a hard-reset.
Another other example that didn't work with PPC2003 is Call2Pic, but we can use PhoneExt 1.2, which is a freeware and more powerful (if only for ringtone). XDA Phone skin chooser, Double Launcher, VITO Voice Dialer PE 2.5 work too.
By the way, all games I tried are compatible with PPC2003. Almost all media player work perfectly with PPC 2003 too, except PocketMVP.
I think it is a very good percentage of compatible software for a new OS update.
Lotus EasySync Pro doesn't work.
Just a note to add to the list. EasySync Pro does NOT work under 2003. It's what forced me back to XDADev 1.1 since I have to be able to Sync with my Lotus Notes system at work.

excellent news - thanks chaps !!
I'm clearly in the presence of people that are far more knowledgable than I, and although I wouldn't claim to be a developer I do know my way round a unix box and also work with high-end music apps (unique wav files anyone?) so I'll be glad to offer any assistance I can, whilst learning the more intricate aspects of this wonderful machine...
cheers again...
Novosec Pocket Facelift works but has problems witht he skinned taskbar. sux cuz its a nice taskbar. other than that its fine.
everybody and their uncle are hot 'n' bothered trying to get hold of 2005 for their xda2's which is of cause understandible
but from what i've been able to read it's on an alpha stage still
maybe if people collected their exp's with compatibbility
of like SD cards both memory and SDIO
backpack
bluetooth
applications
just to give people an impression of what to expect of their device after the upgrade compared to what they get now
??
had wm2005 running for about an hour now and im quite impressed with how stable it is for an alpha release,
using a SPV M1000 on orange UK network,
phone app works fine, sms working fine,
activesync working fine, also remote activesync to my companies exchange 2003 server works great.
conduits pocket player running but had to install onto a SD card (PQI 1GB) since there was only about 9MB of storage on the device,
when i sync the only error im gettin is a calllog module error as i have jeyo mobile companion 1.1 installed,
but so far so good,
congrats to everyone who made this possible! cheers guys,
regards.
Spritebackup runs, although you can't browse where to save the file and it only backs up if you de-select emails (something to do with the way it accesses the memory I'd guess).
Trying to run TomTom3, no luck so far
MSReader works.
I've some problems with activesync (can't connect)
In system proprieties the device is under "Network devices - Windows Mobile-Based Device" and not under "USB" or "USB Adapters"
In "Magneto" there isn't MMS client?? i've seen txt messages ; outlook... but not MMS
Thank's a lot (sorry for my english)

About backpack:
video output works.
Auxiliar battery works.
CF slot not works.
Hello
:arrow: Battery Pack Pro from Omega One works great .
SPB Time is not working .
By the way I am going back to 2.20 which is the best for right now .
The problem I have with WM2005 is : after a few Resets my digitizer start becomes crazy and one thing is helps , its a few (few) Hard Resets .
2.20 was the first which one I did't do a Hard Resets for the last two month .
Anyone here who stick and use WM2005 and no any plan of reverting it back to 2003se? i need your opinion why do you want stick with 2005 instead of se.
Becouse some of you dont have problems running 2005 some have and i have.
Well its my first ever post on here tho ive bben lurking for a year or so.ive done all the upgrades over the last year for the XDAII and i got to say the recent WM2005 O2 version found on here is perfect.
however like all new os'S there is alway going to be something that wont work correct.but this version of WM2005 is very good,for the first time ive got MSN,OUTLOOK EMAIL,O2 EMAIL,SMS,MMS all fully working without any glitches through my mobile phone isp O2-UK.
I had patiently waited for someone to crack the RAM problem and now they have id say go for it.
one tip put the HimaClearJumpCode file from a previous rom in the same directory b4 upgrading it saves having to configure it to in bootloader screen.basically just click your mouse and following the onscreen instructions!.

I am currently using Wm2003se2.2.0.7WWE I think it is, but since it was translated from Chinese, there are a few bits that don't look right, but other than that, it's fast, supports handsfree, and is the most stable 2003se ROM I have tried out of about 3 so far.
I am very tempted to try 2005, I even downloaded it yesterday in case I feel adventurous later.
I have AS4 running on my PC already, and although avantgo doesn't work, it seems much faster.
But since you are so happy with it on a UK network, I may well give it a try later on today after some meetings are out of the way, and I have some time to kill.
I installed WM5.0 a week ago and I already know that I won't be looking back to old OSes.
It's simply the best ever (I've been using Pocket PC since 2000) so I know what I'm talking about.
I can live with the few incompatibility problems I have encountered because I know they will be fixed soon by the talented people of XDA-Developers.com. They always do.
At first I installed WM5.0 to "test it" and to see what was all the "Buzz" about... (got that? hehehe)
But since that day, I noticed how quickly Buzz, Toe, JoJo and the gang fixes the "problems" so I more o less feel complete.
The overall performance of the PDA and the Phone is impresive!
The only thing I miss from previous versions is the Video Capture quality. This one simply sucks, but I'm confident that the gang will fix this soon!
P.S.- Again, I would like to thank Buzz, Toe, JoJo, mamiach and the rest of talented people for this marvelous release!
Best regards,
Rayan
OK, so far, I love it, but there are a couple of things that are proving to be a pain for me.
1) I can't install TomTom 3, need to find some GPS software that will work by the end of this week if I am going to keep 2005 on this device.
2) I don't know if my Socket BT GPS works because I have no GPS software to test it with.
Anyone got any suggestions for UK GOS software that works?
I'm sticking with WM2005
Since I installed it I have noticed the following benifits:
Performance is noticeably improved over any 2003/2003se roms I've run.
The anoying tendency to have both the BlueTooth Headset and the built-in speaker/microphone live during a call has been resolved.
My Frogpad BT keyboard is also natively supported. Overall a great experience!
The only problem I have encountered is the tendency of the MSN messenger piece to behave oddly. It'll sign on, get presence information for people, then when I try to start a conversation it will give me the conversation screen then take about 60 seconds while it claims it is 'connecting' In addition on occasion it will come back and state that a IM could not be delivered, but if I copy and paste it back in it works. It also has decided to put my e-mail attachments on the NAND partition rather than the SD partition.
I brought these issues up with my Microsoft TAM yesterday and he laughed.... Perhaps I should not have phrased it as 'Do you think it would be OK for me to open a ticket for my non-release beta copy of WM2005 that I got over the internet?'

OK, I love this, and I would really like to keep it, but, my Stowaway XT keyboard doesn't want to work either. I know it's only a driver issue, but it's still an issue for me.
I haven't even tried the VGA backpack yet :/
after all the xda is working for my every-day needs i will stay with buzzmobile 2005
I have used the wm2005, but the big thing that bothers me is that xbackup and spb pocketplus doesn't work. (battery indicator bar at the top, I love it! I first though it was some kind of bug, but now I never want any other battery level indicator.
For tomtom3 i'm using tomtom 4.40 now (works also with wm2005).
But there is nothing more worse then a sudden hard reset, and you can't restore any contacts because xbackup doesnt work.
Also I tried almost all of the roms here, and in my opinion the diamondrom 1.2 is the best complete and stable rom around here.
As long as xbackup isnt fixed on wm2005 i can't use it. Don't want to install all kinds of backup and restore programs. After a hard reset start xbackup and make a call.

What are you talking about?
Isn't persistant memory one of Windows Mobile 5.0 main features?
I have performed a couple of Hard Resets on purpose just to see if the whole system survives and let me tell you that it works flawlessly.
I can live without Sprite Backup for the time being!!!.... :lol:
I successfully upgraded to WM2005 but am unable to get the hardreset to work (the key sequence I am using is power button + record button + camera button + soft reset hole, all at the same time). I have verified that each of these buttons works individually. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Also, when my xda is off, there is sometimes a pattern of faint black vertical lines on the screen which disappear when its turned on. I hadn't seen them before I upgraded to 2005.
Any help would be appreciated!
re WM2005
I found the hard reset combination quite tricky to do, took me a few tries to do it. Just hold the camera and record buttons very firmly, press the the power button and also stick the stylus in the reset hole. Keep holding the buttons for 3 seconds after you've felt the stylus nudge the reset button.
I'm using WM2005 and have found ActiveSync using GPRS to be a little less reliable than before. I have had to soft-reset 2x in the last 24hours to get GPRS working. It simply fails to connect when requested and says cannot find www.vodafone.net.nz (the APN for Vodafone NZ). When I reset it works beautifully.
Also it seems to me to be slightly slower than 2003SE. I don't know if it's the extra animations making it *appear* slower but it does feel less reponsive. Particularly opening messages and moving them. I was using 2003SE 2.06 and then 2.20-translated prior.
However, the extra ease of use that 2005 gives makes up for this by being more productive with the time I do spend on the device.
SPB Pocket Plus definitely does not work as I'd like it to and I miss the battery meter on the top bar, plus the multiple IE windows. The IE browser is much better on 2005 though and is quicker overall.
It works great with my Bluetrek G2 headset, no change in audio quality over 2003SE.
The Pocket MSN integration with Hotmail, MSN etc is amazing and very well done. If you use Hotmail and/or MSN Messenger a lot you'll love 2005.
I'm just doing some testing to see if Intellipad is losing my predictive text words. It seems like every time I soft-reset the words I manually added disappear
Intellidialer is a big loss too which I really miss. Can't wait for the 2005 port.
All in all, a good OS and major improvements, but yep a little buggy still. I'd recommend it if you don't mind soft resetting often and living with a few quirks, for the sake of improved useability and a better (in most places) interface.
My record + camera buttons don't work either in 2005 btw.
re WM2005
Forgot to mention -- RemotelyAnywhere doesn't work with Remote control either.
The ActiveX control that is designed for PocketPCs only works on PPC2002 or 2003, not 2005.
If you need to remotely control a PC or server then you will be stuck.

Been using Buz-an-Co mobile 2005 for a while now, absolutely no intention of removing at all. Fair enough somethings dont work, but on the whole, its more stable, i find it faster, BT works the way its ment to, and it looks just so cool! i sync my contacts in outlook and store all my data on the Rom OR SD-Card so i'll never actualy lose anything of importance..... AND and by far the most important reason......I can give me mates with the XDA IIi the two fingers! ahh u may have wifi but u cant get 2005 working!! )
My only serious gripe is MSN messanger not working (fixed by using Agile messanger) and Tomtom 3's total refusal to install. (on that note i was able to start the install process and just before it crashes find the cab files in a temp directory and install them manually, it installed but when you run it, it comes up with "voice files not installed, blar blar" then the program runs for a second before crashing to desktop.)

Agile messenger works a treat on WM2005, and you can connect to MSN, AOL, ICQ etc...
Apparently WM2005 is smartphone compatible, so you could try TomTom mobile, I've heard it works, but the touch-screen doesn't (as it's built for phones). Haven't tried it myself though.
I will also not go back to 2003SE.
I'm using the full version since Saturday and I have no issues at all. All my buttons work. OK, once in a while the XDA freezes and I need a softreset, but that's more likely from the applications I installed which are maybe not 100% Magneto compatible. Also, I'm still trying to get the USB syncing to work. So far I sync via bluetooth.
I love that Contacts syncs the picture from Outlook on the PC. Much better than all the picture-caller ID software.
But really best of all: I don't have to be scared of hardresets anymore and I can use the XDAII until the battery is down.
I was thinking about buying the Mini or maybe the XDA IV when it comes out later this year. But I have decided to continue using my XDAII since it is just great with Magneto.
Cheers
Pat
I am interested to see why people think that they don't have to be scared of hard resets?
The Himalaya does *not* support persistant storage, unless you choose to save something to the flash rom, or SD card, you *will* lose it after a hard reset.
The OS does not give you the safety of the new features, that's still a hardware issue, so don't think you have persistant storage because the OS supports it.
WM2005
Hi,
I have installed WM2005 and fall back to WM2003SE twice.
1st: the chinese software CEstar cause the touch screen to hang (no respond) when I install it. Reinstall the WM2005 still face the same problem, so 1st fall back to WM2003SE.
2nd: After installing the WM2005, my Spectec SDIO wifi don't seem to be able to have the transmitter on. Able to see network available but cannot connect. Tried reinstall the driver but no result. Waiting for Spectec to reply regards to the driver. So 2nd fall back to WM2003SE.
Ric
but it does support a form of persistant storage as in permenent save / storage on the old roms
not really enough though.......
and if the persistant storage of newer devices save the data in flash then could it not be troublesome in the long run since flash have a limited times you can write on it before it goes belly up
much like a cd-rw or dvd-rw disc
I've read many posts, and also the upgrade guide, but I still cannot understand what ROM should I use.
I've found many comments on PDAViet, Cristal, ShadoW, etc., but I've not the competence (and the proper english language skill) to know what is the better choice.
I know that newbies are not well tolerate by experts, but I really need help.
1) What should i choose?
2) The upgrade guide is useful for any ROM?
Please any help is appreciated
look at the screenshots and choose the rom that you like best.. there is no best rom but there is a best rom for your needs and only you know whitch rom that is.
Yes I know.
Ok, can you tell me what ROM (of the Cristal or PDAViet type) is more stable and complete (in you opinion)?

I can't tell because I only use my Prophet for cooking now but I tried Crystal 5.1 and shadow 1 and shadow Touch. and they are all good although there have been some problems reported on all of them.
But you can also try one of my roms
Ah, ignorance is a big problem. For me is very difficult to read (and understand) dozen of threads. Now I have WM5 and I need an advice to upgrade to WM6.
By the way, I will try to flash some random ROM.
I will follow the upgrade guide, it's right for all ROMs?
An when I flash a ROM, the content of my Qtek will be erased?
A little Help
Yes, you'll end up lossing all your data and aps, so choose your ROM carefully. I've installed Fantasic 2.04b and now Gullum's Touch Xb, since I coudn't fix the problems on wi fi and bluethoot on the Fantastic.
First thing you need is a WM5 Basic ROM, I've user PDAViet Temp on Step 1 (Prophet_PV_Temp.zip). Just follow the guide (the old one).
Choose "ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe" witch is included on this Step 1. Remember that is normal that the process lock itself on 80/85% porcent of success for 10 minutes, allow it to run a max of 30 minutes before attemp any rescue.
As soon as the PDA resets, it will ask you to tap on the screen to start using Windows 5. Instead, execute the BAT file on your Step 2 choosed ROM;
In "ProphetTouchXB.rar", the installer is "Upgrade_ROM.bat". This updater works for G3 and G4 phones as well.
You'll receive a DOS windows with some cannot locate file error, disregard those. This process is the longest time comsumer. When the bat file finish you'll see a "Press any Key...." message in DOS.
Now you need to hard reset your device, press the camera button and the Comm button and the soft reset with the pensil (all at the same time!).
Most likely, when WM6 stars you'll not be able to access Contacts, it will close itself, you'll nedd to "Clear Storage", Start|Settings|System|Clear Storage (On Touch Xb), must performed until you see some action, if nothing happens after you click the option, then it didn't execute.
After you do so, you'll need to soft reset, change regional settings, date, city on the weather forecast, and that's all
Be aware that Touch Xb do not include Windows Live Messenger, so you can install it on SD or use some modified X ROM. Also MS Voice Commander 1.6 needs some tricks to anounce incoming voice calls, and you gonna need some registry changes to improbe volume on that program.
Previous steps that are recomended:
*Detele Sincronization profile in Active Sync 4.5 (and install 4.5 version), all your contacs would remain in MS Outlook, make a copy of the documents.
*Sicronize in Visitting mode (cancel the sicnro option windows, witch ask you to choose what to sincro, Contacts, Calendar, etc.). You will only have the "Expore" option in Active Sync.
* Charge the battery on 100%
* Use a notebook whit full battery load, of a PC with a UPS.
Hope it helps-
Many thanks!
I've installed Crystal, it works, but the real problem is ActiveSync 4.5; it's a very buggy app.
1. First I've got the problem of 85010017 error, and after many attempts, syncronizing 10 contacts at time, it seems I've solved the problem
2. Then the rapimgr.exe has become to use 99% of CPU. No solutions.
3. Restarting the computer, activesync have lost my previous settings, and now I should re-sync all contacts!
I'm very tired: I've seen that there is a program Nokia Intellisync, that could replace activesync. Maybe I will test it.

Any help??? Sadly, Intellisync needs activesync to work. I've googled anywhere, without answers!
No help this time
Its strange, you shoun't have that problem, active sync 4.5 works flawesly for me, with Fantastic 2.04b and Touch Xb, are you sure you format the storage area?, it is supposed to happens after the hard reset, but in my case had to be done manually in both occasions.
Yes, I do it. I had this problem months before, with WM5 and activesync 4.5; then I read some discussion about it, and downgrade to activesync 4.3.
Now, with WM6, the 4.3 is not supported, so I have installed the 4.5, but it's impossibler to use it. 99% CPU used, 85010017 error on sync (I know they are two different/indipendents problems).
try uninstalling & installing back activesync & see if it helps
also do a proper hard reset after upgrading
congrats! you managed to upgrade your prophet!!!
I bet is a Windows problem...
Its a Windows or USB Problem.
Update BIOS
Reinstall Windows XP SP2, or some up to date Vista.
Reinstall Activesync
If none of this helps, check for a bargain motherboard, if you got a PC Chips, ECS, Asrock, Gigabyte, Aopen, Foxcomm, drop it in the trash container and buy some ASUS, or if you are in a budget, MSI.

I've done both things, but without results. It's a common problem for many users, as I've seen in several forums.
The 85010017 error seems to happen with AS 4.5 due to a 2 minuts limit in sync. If, in your first sync your data are many (contacts, calendar), then you can reach this time limit and you'll never be able to resolve it (4.3 had no time limit and works perfectly).
The "99% CPU" error may be related to some communication bug within handheld and PC, that generate an idle loop. I've tried also to change the connection from NIDS to serial, but I wasn't able to let it work.

I'm sure you're right, but... On the other hand, many (I think most) people are using AS 4.5 without any pain, even with big sync-files. So there should be something different on your PC.
Not really a helpfull solution, but it is a waste to spend your time on generalities if they aren't the cause of your problem. Anyway, good luck.
It's not my PC, as I have the same problem with 2 different PCs (acer aspire, macbook boot camp), one with xp home sp2 and another with xp pro sp2. And I cannot understand why AS 4.5 is full of errors and 4.3 no.
It's really bad if the only solution is to downgrade to WM5 to use AS 4.3...

As I said, I can't help you, but keep in mind that thousands of WM users are doing the job with AS 4.5 without any alteration. So, I don't want to offend... But I think you do something different. And if it's not the PC, then there might be something out of order with your PPC (hardware or any third-party software?) I asume you tried different USB-cables as well?

I've used different USB cables. I know so much people have AS 4.5 working, but, as you can see by the links I've posted before, I'm not the only one with this kind of problem.
I think, simply, that if certain conditions happens, then you got those errors (also if you are not me...). The problem is to identify these conditions to resolve the problems. A third-party software? Maybe.

Always the same two problems.

And on your PPC? Anything out-of-the-ordinairy installed?
If not, maybe you should try to sync with only a few contacts, appointments etc. At least you can find out if it has something to do with the file-size (I don't think it's related, but you never know). If you hadn't tried it on several PC's I would have bet that is was a hardware/BIOS issue.
I'm puzzled.
On my Qtek s200 there is a fresh install of crystal 5, that erased all. I've not downloaded any other program.
Maybe the problem is the file size (at least for the 85010017 error); for the CPU 99% error, I really don't know how to do.
Installing a demo of Intellisync, the 85010017 error is bypassed (because the AS syncronization is not used), but not the CPU error, because Intellisync needs however Activesync to works.
Well I finally have my new device and it looks like i might have a little time this weekend to make an update and fix some minor bugs in my rom. please post suggestions here. All suggestions need to be in my friday midnight EST. thanks
How about making these changes to your last ROM?
- 16mb page pool to see if it goes a little faster.
- Do not auto download the quick gps data during the setting phase, since the device does not have time and data connection yet at that phase.
- update the large menu text cab so that it works. I had to look for the cab elsewhere last time.'
- Focus on speed.
- Keep it ultra vanilla. This is your number one selling point for me. I don't want all third party application to be chosen by myself and not seeing duplicated application/old versions/unused application.
- Make sure it is spl1.2. Do not want to lose memory for useless applications.
- If you intent to use newer built (Are you thinking of Touch Pro?), make sure it still supports Gsen application, and has random access for contact application. I personally love these two features.
- Make sure it has no htc touchflo or Ftouchflo. Have Ftouchflosl trial version if you wish. Else leave it for user to decide.
- Again, leaveb out realVGA. Some of us don't use it anymore.
- Continue to leave out HTC Home, and have just one theme. HTC Home They are all add ons.
- An important bug to fix is its inabikity to delete POP3 mails. Currently I can only delete non-POP3 mail, but for my pop3 mail, I'm forced to sign into the web-mail to delete them to prevent mail-box overflow. This is a pain.
Frankly, I'm still so happy with your last ROM, although I feel the speed could be further improved. So if there is only one change, let there be just speed improvement.
Thanks irus. I look forward to your fantastic ROM.
I'm now using Michy's rom whose main merits are speed and stability, but I like your Gsen function very much. I hope you can integrate the above-mentioned features in your new rom.
I would suggest no changing from your latest rom which I think is perfect, only bugfixes.
Changing could be for a newer release while I think your last one deserves just a trimming to be a reference rom. (I can't download full messages from the mail program???)
I would say fix the known bugs, increase speed if possible. After releasing that version, you can spend sometime looking at other possibilities (lite version, other builds or base, new features, etc...).
The lite / vanilla builds never actually worked in the long run for me because it always seemed something was missing which caused other applications not to work properly. They always seemed fast and potentially stable for a few weeks. After installing my apps and heavy usage, it always seemed to have gone down hill. Nonetheless, a lot PPL here love them.
It is also very important that auto rotate, gsen, and other features continue to work because I believe a lot of PPL stuck with this base because that stuff work well with on this ROM.
I never tried your rom mainly because I had the impression it was missing MMS. I know it is fairly easy to install myself, but I hadn't time to look for a proper version.
If your rom contains MMS, then forget about this post
Yes! also mms. I would consider the missing of it nearly a bug to be fixed as it is a standard feature of the athena missing... It is true that most of us don't use mms, but just in case...
ok these are all good suggestions, i will keep them in mind
I currently use your FULL ROM/3.5 and find it to be excellent. I hope you will NOT include any real VGA additions. Every one of them I have tried so far causes display problems with my "must use" apps.
Thanks for all your hard work.
I've tested All Athena ROM available.
I am using now the Sogarth base, isn't the fastest, isn't the most complete, but it is stable, has gsensor, big htc home, audio player doesn't stop working in suspend mode, index bar in contacts, battery life is great WITH BT enabled and some diamond enhancements.
The probem is ... it has to be tweaked
.net35 AND net2.0 to have compatibility with older and newest applications (modaco netcf config), some registry tweaks to improve the speed , michy's sound enhancement are much better, athena sensor service has to be stopped, IMHO are needed:
1) a newest remote desktop,
2) wifirouter (ori ICS control) ,
3) schaps advanced config ,
4) moblue,
5) total commander,
6) irus fsplayer,
7) pocketrar,
8) omnia d3d drivers,
9) Gsen,
10) wkTask (HTC Xbutton removed),
11) cyberon voice dial
12) I need mms too
I don't need realvga, the applications I like could use VGA resolution without realvga! Last, but not least, having and athena ROM CLOSER to diamond ROM should be easy to have compatibility with diamond and raphael applications (the most "developed" HTC model)
I strongly suggest a newest Sogarth, not "Extreme" but improved one (SPL 3.5). and "Extreme Sogarth" lite SPL 1.2 and 3.5 tweaked for maximum speed

I have forgotten if you use the extrom.
If you don't , could you ask michyprima for his ap to access this .
It is called "Addins"
there's a new base rom popped up in the general forum..
Scratch that I can't find it now..

I think that app is good but only if you have the loop problem as all my roms are uc compliant, which is the same thing just launches from the sd card not ext rom.
my 2cents: irus in your knew rom maybe you can focus on a new build and speed speed speed.

I haven't used the uc app.
does it allow you to choose what you install , or does it install everything in the list?

it installs everything in the sdconfig.txt file but if you don't want something just delete that line of text. when i release my next version i will put a template of sdconfig.txt but this will only work for people without the loop problem.
Suggessions

1- Fnger touch
2- More diamnod drivers, graphics & functions like in ap5
3- check this link and sea if we can avail such functions http://www.touchxperience.com/

sea = the ocean: "look at the ship way out there in the sea"
see = look: "did you see that?"
hope this helped
