My Self Assestment with Sins Merged ROM and d other two ROM

heres my little assesment of all the three OS ROM (its my own assestment and i might be wrong, so pls correct me if m wrong guys .. :)) this as of today April 4, 2005 ..

in 2.02.1tWWE (base on sins Assestment which i highly agree of)

PROS

:arrow: doesnt hang during boot ..

:arrow: handsfree profile

:arrow: although Today slowly refreshes but compare to 2.06.00WWE it does refresh (but its Today-Plugin wm2003se bug Click here for Detailts)

CONS

:arrow: Yes sins is right cleartype is not implemented in 2.02.1tWWE

:arrow: no Windows media player 10 .. :)

:arrow: Permanent Save doesnt work

:arrow: :arrow: lots of Bluetooth to be fix and worst bluetooth in any wm2003se OS ROm(or even in all pocket pc OS rom)..see my assesment in bluetooth below

in 2.06.00WWE (still base on sins Assestment which i highly agree of)

PROS

:arrow: Cleartype Implemented

:arrow: Permanent Save does work now

:arrow: No Problem with Outlook Email Attachment

:arrow: Headset Profile (even though we canview the handsfree profile with Registry patch .. Version_Sin.BT.Handsfree.cab but handsfree profile is a lot worst than headset and you can accidentally activated it when u use than this headset so m suggesting not to activate it with 2.06.00WWE but its just an opinion since the ROM has bad bluetooth for headset/handsfree)

:arrow: Some bluetooth problem solve (but not all)

CONS

:arrow: the ANNOYING Boot Lookup (hang during boot)

:arrow: no Windows Media Player

:arrow: Today sometimes doesnt refreshes .. need to tap the screen to refreshes it or sometime need to goto Today settings just to refresh it .. )((but its Today-Plugin wm2003se bug Click here for Detailts

:arrow: Still lots of Bluetooth to be fix ..see my assesment in bluetooth below

in Sins Merged 2.02.1tWWE & 2.06.00WWE Base ROM

PROS

:arrow: ClearType is implemented

:arrow: AND IT DOESNT HANG IN BOOT (or almost but causes it to hang can cause to hang all os rom of pocket pc .. )

:arrow: it has both the handsfree and headset profile

:arrow: it refreshes the screen much faster than 2.06.00WWE but a little slower in 2.02.1tWWE but still a good thing since unlike the 2.06.00WWE sometimes the Today doesnt refresh at all(but sometimes it happens it also in Sins Merged but less frequent compare to 2.06.00WWE)((but its Today-Plugin wm2003se bug Click here for Detailts)

CONS

:arrow: still no windows media player 10 ..

:arrow: Permanent Save doesnt work (but using permanet save annoys me at all and not recommending to use it)

:arrow: You cannot Attach anything in Outlook Email

:arrow: looks like a merged in bluetooth problem.. see my assesment in bluetooth

but merging the good things can also merge the bad part ..

since 2.02.1tWWE has a the worst Bluetooth with any other version of WM2003SE for PH10(himalaya device) .. it also merged that problem ..

Heres my Assesment in Bluetooth on Three OS ROM

in 2.02.1tWWE

:arrow: i cant receive a file thru MS bluetooth with my old 3com dongle or my billionton class1 bt usb dongle or with my nokia phone

:arrow: i cant sned a file thru MS bluetooth with my old 3com dongle or my billionton class1 bt usb dongle or with my nokia phone

:arrow: sometimes it took me lots of try before m able to connect to Activesync using Bluetooth

:arrow: some reported also that it has lots of handsfree device that is not compatible although some have it work

in 2.06.00WWE

:arrow: i can receive now files thru MS bluetooth with my old 3com dongle or my billionto class 1 bt usb dongle or with my nokia phone

:arrow: i can also now send files thru MS bluetooth with my old 3com dongle or my billionton class1 bt usb donle or with my nokia phone

:arrow: although still a little complicated to configure but i can able to connect within the first try with ActiveSync Thru bluetooth

:arrow: although a headset features .. but able to connect some headset device .. but not all .. especially the handsfree and the newer headset device .. and still a bad bluetooth for that features

but in Sins Version it looks like it also merge the bluetoot problem(correct if m wrong guys)

:arrow: i can sned now a file thru MS bluetooth with my old 3com dongle or my billionton class1 bt usb dongle or with my nokia phone

:arrow: but i cant receive files thru MS bluetooth with my old 3com dongle or my billionto class 1 bt usb dongle or with my nokia phone

:arrow: although in Merged ROM it is still a little complicated to configure like in 2.06.00WWE i can able to connect within the first try with ActiveSync Thru bluetooth

:arrow: i dont have a bluetooth headset or handsfree (and not planning to buy one) so i can not say directly if it is true.. but theres lots of report that i read they have more difficulties connecting than with 2.06.00WWE although it has both headset and handsfree features

Conclusion

.. :) All in all .. Sins Merged ROM is more stable than 2.06.00WWE it doesnt hang during boot .. which always annoys me .. but i said earlier .. looks like a merged in bluetooth problem .. but using broadcom/widcomm and use resco file explorer can fix the issue of ssending and receiving at least this can fix it some of the issues (still the headset/handsfree no solution) ..

Suggestion

If your annoys with 2.06.00WWE boot hang and today screen that slowly or sometimes doesnt refreshes .. and doesnt care about the bluetooth especially the headset/handsfree(like me who doesnt own and not planning to buy one) use Sins Merged ROM.. we already have a test version http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=103729#103729 or here Sins Original version http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=16916:)

but if you have a bluetooth headset and you manage to works it with 2.06.00WWE(some of the headset device) and you doesnt care about the boot hang .. since it you can still have the today screen (sometims it takes more than one soft reset to work it .. so be patient guys) and doesnt care about the today refresh since it is fixable .. then i recommend to use the 2.06.00WWE ROM guys .. :)
