Whats new for Hermes? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

Hi all.
Is there something new for our beloved Hermes? New ROM perhaps? Are there still great cooks for the Hermes? What have I missed in the last 6 months? I have read somewhere that WM is now on 6.5.... is it applicable to our Hermes?
Been soo busy at work! Its been a long time since I found time to visit this site..I think the last time was November/December last year and Im not sure if there are still a lot of Hermes users and a lot of Hermes cooked Roms as it was that time, considering that there are now many new HTC phones coming it. But as for me, I still love my Hermes (or maybe I just dont have the money yet to get a new HTC phone lols).
The current rom Im using I think is version 3.62 with Radio version 1.47.30.10, on WM6.1 with M2D, TouchFlo...I even forgot whose ROM it is...either PDAViet, PhamQuang, abusalza's PDACorner, Starbase64, JoshKoss, CRCinAU or Schaps, I really forgot now, so many Roms to play around that time. I have yet to check first my files in my PC as what were the last things I opened and used with regards to Hermes. Still, my Hermes is still doing great, alive and kicking!
I miss xda-dev. Thanks to all those excellent cooks I mentioned (and forgot to mention) .... I hope these days there is still something new to play around for the Hermes
Thanks..

Well just mossy on down to the Mobile 6 and you will find a few 6.5 ROMS, thankfully so far when one ROM cookers falls in battle then there is another to take up his sword, or should that be wooden spoon.

Is it time to get something new?

Hey there boys!
Now that HMA4 and Gullum has moved on, and therefore we don't see that much activity in the WM6 forum for prophet anymore, do you think it is time to get a new device ? Ofcouse it isn't if you just want to use a prophet but i mean if you want something that people are developing roms for, something for us flash o holics..
And.. Is there any chance that we will see more wm6 roms for Prophet? I honestly don't think Prophet Touch X is gonna come, as gullum has a hole new device, then who would actually develop anything for a old device ?
Just wanted to hear what you think.. And if anyone experienced cooker reads this please contact me as i need some help doing some few things..
~D
In France, we have a pub on TV where we can see G.Cloney in a bar, he meets a pretty girl in a bar ... and she ask him to go to drive her car !!!
Too old, time to change
But our Prophet has a beautiful GullumWM6, what else ?
Everything has an end I guess, and this end has come for our dear Prophet.
I'm glad to say that it has been one of the best devices I have used, the next device im switching to has got to have a VGA screen, it is more attractive and better looking.
I hope that the end isnt anytime though, all we can do is still hope that some ROM cooker emerges in a magical way and takes the legacy Gullum and hma4 left.
I wish I wouldnt have to say, Rest In Peace Dear. :*|

Year its sad about the prophet.. I would really like to learn to cook, but there isn't many who can or will take the time to teach me..
But year.. The time for the prophet is over.. What VGA device is currently on the market ? Others than the Universal i haven't seen many
i went to see simple touch at my place the thing is it had same speed and cube worked the same way ,infact my prophet had album feature which single touch didn't have ,i do not know about dual or kaiser but they would be the same too.except for size of single touch i think its time to wait a bit more ,it money versus features balance ratio i guess and there is nothing super bug free ,i just hope htc have improved on answering machine softwares and call recording ,cameras ,which infact are gone way better on symbian platform from 4 years back onwards,that way we can't get everything in win mobile only ,time to change could mean time to keep an alternative platform handset too along with prophet.
Cooking time
Is it not time to do some cooking by ourselves?
At least I will give it a try, as soon as I get my hands on a good romdump. ;-)
Not yet
Nowadays HTC has no real improvements imho.
Latest Prophet roms are (almost) as good as recent official ones.
Kaiser is great (and heavy too) but lacks VGA or other things that compensate the price and size.
Touch = Prophet (more or less, so save your bucks)
Unless you're waiting for HSDPA, I see no need to change.
And if you consider to change now (and I don't, I don't even check other devices hehe), Samsung F700 (no M$ os) may be an tempting alternative. Or Imate, Toshiba, even Nokia.
Prophet is my first M$ phone and I really like it.
I also very very like this forum for apps and roms.
But I have got the feeling that my obsessive tweaking is somehow result of the os, which I consider not mature and buggy.
I think that the fact that M$ /HTC just refuses invest in updates for such an expensive device is a modern form of slavery.
So don't give in: Don't reward HTC for delivering phones without proper firmware-support by buying another (expensive!) new device from HTC.
I am eager to find out how long I'm able to stand up to my own opinion ....
I agree.
If I was to go for a new phone, it would have to be with these improvements:
- VGA or better screen
- Prosessor much faster that Prophet (I now run mine at 277 mhz without problems, can watch whole movies without glitch.)
- Much more ram and rom
- Smaller and maybe lighter
- Better connectivity
- Dedicated 3D graphic card?
- Large battery
I would also appreciate the device to be brain controlled, but you can not have it all...
My point is that the Prophet is ahead of its time, and today there is no tempting alternatives.

Hi guys,
i'm trying to build a rom but till now i just have boot loader screen
I have to read more carfuly how to build a rom but as soon as i guet it working i will post
Prophet Touch X

Great news gullum!
Looking forward to get my hands on the version with rgu files so that I can try my rom cooking skills. ;-)
Perhaps finally a Swedish WM6 Prophet rom will be possible???

if your r happy with prophet now..i think we should wait for devices with next version of windows mobile ( photon)..because its a huge update and current deviced can not run it..its deviced will be available by h2 of 2008
prophet is my 1st pda phone & i really love it. esp after updating to wm6 via gullum's and now hma4.
i was seriously thinking of getting a kaiser as well, but at almost $3000 local money & my prophet is working absolutely fine, i said no...
yes, there may not be a new rom for us, but as long as my prophet works ok, i will not give in & buy a kaiser....

Why there's just a little amount of ROMs for Raphael ?

Hi there,
Im just wondering why there's alot more ROMs for diamond and ust about 4 or 5 old Roms for Raphael.
The Roms cookers are not interested by this device ??? Weired cause it's the kaiser replacement ???
Can anyone have a clue ?

This is just like al other devices, Raphael is a new device compared to Diamond and less users with this devices do less ROMs. When Kaiser arrives one year ago, was the same process, in the begining there was a little amount of ROMs, but now the development forum is full of. If you wait 6-12 months, this forum will be full of ROMs, sure It's a question of time...
Cheers

I think it also because of some developers and users already bought Diamond just before HTC Touch Pro came out.
Also keep in mind, the Raphael hasn't even released in the US yet. I think once the Fuze releases here we'll see many more people interested in modifying it, look at how many people in the Kaiser section have an AT&T Tilt in the US!
(Sprint Touch Pro doesn't apply to this, the GSM ROM is completely different I believe)

Living on the edge!

this is my passout thread (IE sleep)
DCD or nue?
Which one you think will come out with a new one first? Looked through the bugs for Nue3pre3 and looks like alot (a few which prevent me from going their) as for DCD am using 3.2.6 right now (a few bugs which others have reported but usable overall)
no arguments as to whos is better and what not... just who thinks who will out the next one first (DCD had a leak due to a friend testing for him and nue has been saying hell get 3pre4/whatever out for like the last month, and its been the bigges break in updates that I can remember for the Titan) and being as my MB BIOS and VGA BIOS are now at their latest versions (well MB has a BETA version that ACTUALLY fixes a MAJOR problem i had) and my phone with its lack of memory problem is just begging for an update/flash (and VGA drivers! come on http://www.htcclassaction.org/ finish the drivers already)
Simple as that... (well not so simple... but whatever... im literally going to passout)
Betting On
Im Betting on DCD. They both are very creative but I think he will be the first to come out with a ROM that is new and improved. Who knows he may borrow some of nue's memory saving techniques.... That would really rock.
no2chem's latest blog entry states he is coming out with a combined NueROM3 kitchen (along with Touch Pro/Diamond) for Titan in next couple days. He states he hasn't forgotten the Titan. I'm running his pre3 release now and I like it. Sadly, I'm not nearly as optimistic about DCD releasing anything further. I ran 3.2.6 almost forever and he's the first rom developer I liked so much that I felt compelled to donate to in support of his work. Don't get me wrong...I got my money's worth and more but I think DCD has moved on to other things. In the grander scheme of things I don't think there will be many more (or any at all) 'Titan' releases since the manufacturers are releasing new hardware, etc and our device like all others before it will eventually become obsolete and less interesting which is a shame cuz I really like the Titan. Just my .02
I win!
DCD Has posted a ROM today.
dcd's titan ROM 3.3.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444239
LOL i hate to totally disagree with you blueglide... but... DCD's rom got leaked a little while back when he was giving it to a friend to test for him! meanwhile nue has gotten the Touch Pro and ever since that nothing else for the Titan has come to light...
also... DCD just posted his new version... LOL

Wow...I called that one wrong....maybe I should express my opinions more often...LOL...can't wait to try it!
lol! you should!
But anyway... as it stands... i dont know the situation with DCD nore do i care to follow it o so well (but i do check this site EVERY day to see if something new is released and what changes have been made, but not only for DCD's rom)
as for nue... hes a bright guy... and very talented when it comes to programming/gfx designing for the WM environment... however... being one of those poor people who cant afford to upgrade to the TouchPro... I kinda feel like nue has been a MSFT developer (WM on Mogul) and all the sudden upgraded to Linux developing (WM on TouchPro) and therefor quality of/existance of work for the titan will diminish more then it already is
(i hope that explanation was easy to follow... basically Mogul VS Touch Pro in the hardware aspect since nearly 80% of everything meant for the Touch Pro will NOT work on the Mogul ex: QVGA v VGA)

Split 6.1 and 6.5 into different sections?

Can you please split this forum into two areas. I really hate 6.5 it is so buggy at the moment and I am finding my self spending a long time searching through these articles to see what is available. I know the titles sometimes help with "6.5" etc but it would be so much more easier if their was actually sub categories in this category
Doubt it as most if not all roms will be 6.5 b4 long.
i don't know about this. 6.5 is still beta so it will be buggy but there's no point to making another section because when it officially releases soon, 6.1 will be fazed out and die like all the rest that came before it. otherwise there would have been a Windows 2003, WM5, WM6 section opened also, but since they are updates to the same OS there's not much point to making a section for it due to the fact that eventually everyone will upgrade to it when its fully stable
my two cents

I completely agree, I have been attempting to ignore all 6.5 ROMs, because they are far too buggy, and the won't work with my Redfly, when I try to install the drivers for it, it just freezes my device, and I wind up having to HR. Plus the official release of 6.5 isn't due until Q4 2009 anyway, so it will be a while until we see any "official" ROMs.

I thought the release is this month??? Maybe it will be 4q before phones start off with 6.5, but im sure XDA forums will have 6.5 before that.
So what bugs are you encountering? Maybe you could compile a list and let the chefs tackle them. There's not many that I can find using RRE's or Da_G's so maybe try one of those?
But yea, please let everyone know what bugs you're experiencing so people can take a look at the root cause and potentially fix them?... I am eagerly awaiting your response to this.

seriously i have nil to no bugs with 6.5...
but if you are there are ether related to rom or something you are doing. But ether way you should compile a list in the respective thread to address these alleged issues.
IMHO 6.5 runs far better and quicker than 6.1 ever didd, as far as bugs none that are of any consequence for me
yes man, that is the consensus. plus all the chefs are jumping on it and not looking back broheem.

Agreed. After finally getting the guts to flash today I can say that 6.5 is how 6.1 should've been. Great interface, much faster. No bugs for me so far.
Whats funny is my 6.5 rom is FAR more stable and reliable than the stock rom that came on my AT&T Fuze... or pretty much any other 6.1 rom I ever flashed to. I can go weeks without having to preform a single soft reset.
A Huge thanks to whoever is hosting the file!
I just downloaded the full file in 1.5 mins!
I agree. . at least for the time being. Break them up a bit.
I was hesitant to move to 6.5 because of said "bugs". Honestly, I haven't seen a single bug since going to 6.5 though. Works much better than 6.1 ever did.
Great response guys.
After reading through all your articles I decided to give 6.5 another shot. I tried 6.5 and experienced alot of bugs ... missing calls ... GPS not working etc.
HOWEVER...
I have just flashed the "EnergyROM Series 3.0 21215" and it seems stable enough for me... the only bug I have found so far is it keeps turning the backlight down even when I set it not too.. so going to have a dig around on the forums to see if anyone else is experiencing this issue.
Thanks again guys
To the split i vote....
No bugs in 6.5 so far but i not really intend to turn back to 6.1 i think is a good idea to split the forum into 2 piece so 6.1 or 6.5 funs no have to bother with the other builds...
My two cents: 6.5 is pretty stable for me too. On the issue propose, each of the 5, 6 or so top chefs have like 2 or 3 roms and I have no trouble finding what I'm looking for on the very first page of the forum. The threads are well labelled too.
If a split is to be made, I'd suggest making a subforum for the 6.1 ROMs, and keep the 6.5 ones in here.
I think its a good idea to split. So far, i only can see these different between WM6.1/WM6.5 :
1-No HTC WM6.5 specific addons/goodies atm.
2-Titanium by M$
3-LockScreen
4-More Outlook Ehancements.
5-Looks like M$ trying to make the WM6.5 OS more independent without 3rd party addons.
Cant wait for HTC device shipped with WM6.5 & get all the HTC goodies soon to make WM6.5 more usable
typically, we don't split. This has happened many times in the past. Are you guys really having problems figuring out which is which?
Its not that it's hard to differentiate, but it would be easier to find the ROMs that people are interested in. Like me, I have been trying to completely ignore the 6.5 ROMs, because they don't work for me. So it would be nice to split them, or at least have a way to organize them.

Any of the "regulars" working on 6.5?

As the title says---any of you working on the 6.5 that has appeared here? I'm running the "clean" 6.5 posted, but I miss Pampooh's Neo-themed 6.1.....What say you all??
This is my understanding of the situation, as far as I know. Erofich hasn't committed to a 6.5 project. Pampooh says he doesn't have the time, at the moment.
That takes care of the regulars, I think.
You can try one of the posted 6.5 ROMs. I flashed one yesterday, thought "this looks cool/promising" and an hour later was running Pampooh's 1.05b again.
"clean" ROM
Yes--I'm running the "clean" 6.5 posted--but I miss Pampooh's Neo---very nice look & the feature-set that works for me---I might look into cooking one--never done it & it looks interesting......
I don't have the device too. Both of my StarTrek's have gone to their rest.
Sorry to hear that!!!
May your 'treks RIP!!! I still like your themes....could you point me towards a tutorial/info to cook a ROM?
Ive tried the 6.5 roms - but my phone has finally killed its battery cover and I cant find a new one for love nor money - so its sort of academic.
Can say from experience though that the 6.5.3 (or equivalent) on the startrk is pretty good - even if the version I have is half in chinese.
I've seen them on eBay---
So you might take a look there---I have a HTC listing-watch going. Thinking of buying a Elf--should be "fairly" easy to run Android on it........
As for the Chinese bit---have you had any luck finding a "cure" for the non-english parts?

I've looked and their without exception black and mostly second hand and scratched all to hell most like - Its the one girlie phone I have ever bought - but then for £50 it was a steal at the time... I'd prefer to get a pink one if I can but dont really wanna spend alot of money on an entire phone :S
only way to cure the chinese language bits is to get a full wwe rom cooked, I dont know how to do that and im not really all that bothered since I am pretty much exclusively using the WG3 as my phone and Diamond 6.5.3 as a sorta baby internet tablet.
