Midgets rom is vanilla. But it has a few glitches. Just empty the extended ROM and you will have partly a vanilla ROM. Other programs on this ROM like MS office are really necessary and I think vanilla is just a ROM without addons. So you might just want to clear up the Ext ROM and have 10MB free~~ Oh yes Corleno... one more thing.

With Wisbar Adv 2 + Chellaga/Mellaga skins work awesome. No glitches there. Make some more skins...hmm can you make a skin with HTC logos? I wouldnt mind paying for one if you made it.

So, those that have been testing this for a while.....what functionality is LOST over the most recent AKU 3.5 releases?

Is this as good as those, or are there many functions not working?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] clemsyn:
Out of the crossbow rom. It might not be the quickest but its the most stable so far.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] nuclear:
I need some help in choosing a ROM. Which ROM should I install? Infidels Crossbow or Helmi's WM5 AKU 3.5?

Or should i go for some other crossbow release?

Nice touch ... the messaging app now displays HTML mail. (not in its full layout, but at least all the HTML codes are taken out)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
Screw his embarrassment, he's a clueless joke. The sooner he stops posting, and causing confusion the better.

Reading the thread from start to finish, it's interesting to see infidels definate statements about this rom, and the others, which soon turns into I don't know, because I haven't looked at the others.

All sounds like crap to me.

I bet it's simply the one I have which is the one from early December, which someone's added an extended ROM to.

Personally, I would only touch the Midget one, and the one in ViJay's post. This thread smells of BS too much to warrant trying it.

EDIT: Just so people don't get the wrong idea, it's Nuclear/Infidel I have the issue with. Read through posts by Nuclear, and realise he's clueless at best, and a liar at worst. Listen to him of you want to risk bricking your device. He's screwed up his own things before now, and can't grasp the basics of ROM building.

Be warned people, there are enough trustworthy ROM builders here, no need to listen to muppets.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:

Nuclear, you posted previously that you tried this crossbow release:

Were you just lying your ass off again?

ADDED:

Just read previous posts by midget and alan. And absolutely agree.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
added to the fact that he 'made' (if you call uploading someone elses work making) this ROM means he is a certified 100% dumbass

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Wiz:
I did try both Midgets and Infidel's rom, and I noticed that where Midget uses U for UMTS, the Infidel rom (wherever it may have come from) uses 3G for UMTS.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] RayFrangie:
So whats the verdict ppl?

Is this a valid crossbow rom? Should we risk using it?

Cheers!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Bizzybone:
It appears to be vaild, I have it installed on my EXEC and overall I do like it. There is one little issue though; seems like the QWERTY keyboard backlight doesn't come on all the time when a key is pressed.

Crossbow ROM

Hi there, just finish download the Crossbow ROM and there is 4 part..

Which part do we used?..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Infidel:
Download all 4 parts into 1 folder. Right click on any of the parts and click on extract to folder or extract here.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Mahmood:

The Infidel ROM is from an unknown source, it could be just another modified Helmi ROM, more than likely it is, but I wouldn't put my faith in anything that comes from Nuclear = Infidel = Nuclear = Clueless.

If he's messed with it himself, you could end up with a problem. Stick to the ROM images from people that know what they are doing, and you won't get hurt.

SmartDialing

I've installed this ROM and it seems pretty stable and fast.

One thing I am missing is smartdialing. I cannot find it under the Phone options.

Could someone explain?

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
The Helmi modified ROM in ViJay's post contains the new Crossbow smartdialling platform.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Wiz:
They all do. Infidels and Midgets roms also contain the smartdialling platform. It just is not listed under the Menu options anymore.

ANy comments on WM6CB.rar

Downloaded but wondering how this compares to Hemi's and midgets ROMS.

Anyone know the version numbers of these ROMS.

I have an MDA PRO unlocked with the last T-mobile official ROM.

Any additional steps neededs before going for one of the above ROMS.

Can you go back wards and re install official T-mobile ROM if I dont like this.?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
They all seem to be based on Helmi's unreleased ROM from what I have read.

And because of this, they are all the same version. The changes are in the registry, and apps it seems, so with tweaks, they can all be the same.

I am not going to reflash until there has been a genuine HTC release of something, and we can take some real updates and optimisations from that build to improve ours.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Wiz:
Don't forget that this rom *is* based on an offficial release. Microsoft has officially released a WM6 build for the Universal in order to allow bug hunting and application development. It was just not intended for the general public, but as an internal developers release.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] omega_:
I'm defintely waiting for either Helmi's or Ivan's version.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
as does mine
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
I really don't understand why people keep using this ROM lol, there are two proper images to choose from.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] corleno:
this particular rom really boosts up the RAM

I donno y or how

I know both are the same builds

but for some reason ,this rom always has much more ram than the Vanilla version
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
I am interested to hear what tests did you perform on all three ROMs in the last 24 hours to validate this?

What free RAM did you have on these ROMs after a soft reset, and with what programs running etc?

You need to tell us how it's better, otherwise it's like me just saying red is better than blue.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] corleno:
Well to tell you Iv run both roms for 24 hrs

and I use Wisbar+Spb Diarty+Spb finance+Resco Today plugin on today screen

usually after soft reset

Midget-27 MB ram

Infidel-27.5 MB ram

Running Wisbar in the 1st 1 hour after soft reset

Midget-21MB

Infidel-22.5MB

After 1 night

Midget-15MB(i use resco today plugin to axs the program memory and close all apps)

Infidel-18.5MB(i use the Close all program supplied in infidel's rom to hardware button)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
OK you must have two Uni's running side by side, and you are doing exactly the same things at the same time on both?

I see :) I was wondering how you managed to test so much with only one device in just 24 hours since all three versions were posted.

Also, I see you have not tried the one vijay posted first of all before the midget or infidel/nuclear rom then?

The Oxios Close Apps and Hibernate apps were the ones Helmi added in his unreleased ROM, Midget removed these, but the other two have them, so they are from the same place, Helmi originally.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] corleno:
yes me and my roommate

V both hav universals :)

so usually v do this for every rom out...

and settle for the best of the two
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] JayRayMee.NL:
Hey, am I right when I say that there is no video calling (3G) included? The videocall hardware button (the one with that phone hook and eye) doesn't do anything and on the onscreen phone keypad there's no such button anymore....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
if you use close apps (in the tweaks and hacks cab because its vanilla) on mine you get same memory results. the cab also maps it to backlight key.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] kingdomraj:
it is indeed same as helmis unreleased rom
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] simonsalo:
Where is it?

So where is this actual release? can you provide a download link?

Simon
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] simonsalo:
Which 2 roms?

This rom is the midget rom from this thread. Then there is the Infidel ROM. WHich two exactly are you talking about? ANd are any of these one of the developer ones for universal testing from Microsoft?

Simon
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Wiz:
As I said, the actual release was only intended for Microsoft mobility partners and developers, and not for the general public.

Therefore I'm afraid that I can't provide a download link.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] simonsalo:
Helmis NEW rom?

If this is Helmi's unreleased rom where is his released one?! Does he want us using his unreleased one?? I am getting confused - fast...

ALso are any of these roms actually crossbow (WM6) at all or just modified AKU 3.5 (WM5) roms??

Simon
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] simonsalo:
So is this the basis of the new roms posted here?

So are we testing a version of the rom you cannot download or something else?

Who do we need to contact to test the rom you speak of?

Simon
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
simonsalo: you cannot use the one from M$ as you are not a trusted partner (of M$)

Helmi 'acquired' this rom and fixed some major bugs/flaws in it.

in short: I made a vanilla version

vijay released his unchanged rom

infidel (who is that bumbling idiot nuclear btw), well we dont know what he did :P

Alan is saying why use infidel/nuclear's rom when there are two done by people who have experiance editing roms (mine and the one vijay posted).

helmi never released his rom but ALL OF THE ROMS HERE ARE BASED ON IT

with regards to 'is this wm6 or aku 3.5' it is REAL WM6 from m$, modified by helmi, modified by me ;)

hope that clears things up a little :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] littlestub:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
Well if you read the threads, there's more than enough info there to answer most questions.

They are all very new, and if you know what you are doing you won't break anything.

Performing any ROM upgrade without having read how to do it, and what to do if it goes wrong is a silly thing to do, so if you are unsure, read the wiki, and the other threads.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] waqas.sonic:
i 've actually gone thru the threads its a bit confusing couple of crossbow roms are out and ya i have installed quiet a few upgrades just askin an opinion from u guys that wat rom would u recommend cause i cant really install all three of em so i ed rather asked those who already have the experience.

PS:i am installing midget vanila rom now.

thanks again for helping me out earlier.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] waqas.sonic:
was installin the rom but says contry id error any idea wats that abt ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
Someone else just asked that same question on one of the other crossbow threads, and it gets asked at least once a week everywhere else.

Don't mess with ROM upgrades unless you know what you are doing, there are Wiki pages that tell you all of this stuff, and how to perform upgrades, and how to solve problems like this.

Use the links at the top of the page, or the search function.

Are you for real? Why even pretend this rom is yours when you go and ask dumb questions like that?

I keep expecting to see Kermit the frog and Miss Piggy with this muppet popping up all the time.

You have been told before, this is not possible. You need a base image for that device first. Only then can you take parts of the OS to other devices. The base image contains the drivers etc.

Please will you get a clue nuclear/infidel, and stop clogging the forum up.

Alan, i got to tell you mate. you need to cool down and get a life my friend - dont take everything so personally. i feel your continued vitriol really detracts from these forums and everytime i read our posts its the same story. if you want to crap infidel or anyone else out dont do it publically to show everyone that you are the BIG man who knows it all.. for crying out aloud get outside mate and go and learn to play cricket - god knows our country could do with some help.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
How about you consider he gives advice when he hasn't got a clue.

A Universal is arounf £500 or more SIM free.

Would you like to brick your advice because of a total muppet because you read forums and someone didn't point out what an idiot he was?

If he took the hint and stopped pretending to know what he was talking about, I wouldn't have a problem, there are plenty of people that don't know what to do, and yes, I tell them they are lazy, but I still help them.

People need to be warned about this guy though, especially when they are playing with such expensive pieces of kit.

aye.

even though "me too" posts suck.... ditto. :)

although... if you have a £500 device and you're going to hack away, you'd have to be pretty dumb not to do a bit of reading.. and if you spent more than a few seconds doing that you'd realise who was full of ****.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] ryanmillar:
Alan i appreciate that, these devices are expensive. however my point is that we got it the first time. we have all heard you, he is a muppet and now lets move forward or work on a new approach. its a fine line - can anyone bar people from a thread or other if they are known to have misrepresented information - ie 'the rom is mine, i swear sir' and that way we dont have to put up with waste-of-space posts?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
Well, it's not that simple, he was nuclear, now he posts as infidel, I guess soon he will have yet another nickname.

There's no real way to moderate people's stupidity, it's down to other members to point out incorrect information when they see it, and try to stop people making hazardous mistakes.

All of these crossbow threads are prime examples of how dangerous stupidity can be. You have a 20 page thread, someone will jump in from page 19, do something, mess up their device, and then spend days asking the same questions that were asked right at the start.

What if they took the advice from a moron, because they didn't know it was the wrong thing to do?

I always tell people to read the whole thread, and read the wiki, or use the search.

Sometimes people need to see that someone is an idiot. If you think I am an asshole, or too harsh, then so be it, but I guarantee there will be someone else that is glad they didn't listen to some bad advice because they were aware of him.

Geez, I wish I lived wherever you guys live. In Thailand, I had to purchase it for 47,900 Thai baht (£1000)...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] sub69:
Well, my first JasJar cost me £750 because I went out and got some dodgy developer version (which meant I couldn't register it at imate.com - cheeky sods).

Once I'd lost that one (left it on the Eurostar :( ), I couldn't face spending full price again, so I got a secondhand O2 XDA Exec from Tottenham Court Road. £250 - as good as new.

(It actually turns out I knew the guy who had sold it to CEX in the first place, so I could have bought it off him directly and saved lining the middleman's pockets - oh well)

Anyway, this is all completely off-topic - Has anyone successfully managed to get video-calling into their Crossbow ROM yet? I think that's the next task on my list (although I'm willing to bet that someone will release a ROM with Video-Calling before I even start attempting it)

I've spent the little spare time I've had stripping down Midget's ROM even further. There's no Voice Command, Clearvue PDF, or any of the templates for MMS / Camera in my custom ROM - they've been replaced by my own little selection of apps now...)
