[Touch Cruise General] timmymarsh:
Guys,

I sent a fax to HTC Taiwan to complain about t.c issues. The 6.1 rom update is being released in september (this year i hope :D). It will not only provide threaded sms, a few security issues, but will so they say resolve the video driver thing!!!! yayyyyy...

As for GPS i found mine to be excellent!

One thing they should sort, is to sort out multiple deletion of sms. I always have over 100 texts in my phone and dont always want to crtl-a and delte, man it takes ages to scroll wilst selecting!

Anyway fingers crossed for the next few weeks for 6.1 release. If its ****e, roll on the cooked wm7!! :D The imminant release of 6.1 is only reason i havent flashed my cruise......yet
[Touch Cruise General] cr4p!:
Nice information timmymarsh, waiting with fingers crossed :)
[Touch Cruise General] register_maarraak:
The HTC Support site mentions a "HTC Touch Cruise Operating System [ROM] Upgrade", posted 5 days ago. However it cannot be downloaded with the serial number belonging to my Touch Cruise. The head of the page is "HTC TyTN II", but the serial number of my TyTN II doesn't work either.

Maybe a sign of an upcoming upgrade?
[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
The link you provided is for the TyTN II -- I don't see mention of the Touch Cruise, do you have a link to the info you referenced? The Touch Cruise support page doesn't list a ROM update yet.
[Touch Cruise General] register_maarraak:
While I am aware that the page is for the TyTN II, the first item on the provided link is a section titled:

"HTC Touch Cruise Operating System [ROM] Upgrade"

When following that link, the download page opens, again with the same title (and a mention of HTC TyTN II on the top). However, strange thing is that neither my TyTN II nor my Touch Cruise serial number work (apart from the strange fact that a Touch Cruise ROM update would be listed on the TyTN II support page). Both serial numbers result in the following error:

"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
What you're saying doesn't really make any sense, I believe you are mistaken about something. Do you have the link to the page you mention, but haven't provided, that contains this link labeled "HTC Touch Cruise Operating System [ROM] Upgrade"...?
[Touch Cruise General] register_maarraak:
Well, in my first post I posted the link as a hyperlink (the blueishly underlined text with the quotation marks around them, still alive in your reaction containing the quote). If it doesn't work for you (here it does), the original target of the hyperlink was

http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=13&cat=2

When following the download link close to the item titled "HTC Touch Cruise Operating System [ROM] Upgrade", whose target is

http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=13&cat=2&dl_id=18

A page opens on which at the bottom a serial number has to be provided in order to continue to the download. When I enter either a TyTN II serial OR a Touch Cruise serial, I receive the quoted error.

I hope you can now find the page I linked to. Whenever you are curious what the actual target of hyperlink is try right-clicking the blueishly underlined words and look for something like "Properties". That will show you the target of the link.

In case you can't get it to work, here are the first few lines of the page

This is followed by the installation instructions and the download section. Here you see both the TyTN II title of the page and the announcement of a Polaris upgrade.

P.S. When you again see no links, maybe copy and paste the lines that start with http:// and paste them into the address bar of your browser.
[Touch Cruise General] GorTen:
When will it arrive??
[Touch Cruise General] ridli:
the update is released this week or maybe first days of the next, im sure :) Htc has the rom finished.
[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
Oh Boy!!! http://twitter.com/htc/statuses/914305713
[Touch Cruise General] pananza:
Good, looks like the wait is going to be over. Aside from the possible DDI.DLL, is there anything this ROM can offer that the cooked ROMs does not already have?
[Touch Cruise General] ridli:
i can confirm to you, the rom with 6.1 is finished and HTC release soon, maybe this week or the next.

HTC confirm the released of the rom to a friend.
[Touch Cruise General] sonus:
I'm really hoping that it includes updates to the HTC programs and not just WM6.1 (i.e. the new HTC album with better gesture support and folder view, the new comm manager, the new bigger menu support etc.)
[Touch Cruise General] GorTen:
GREAT !!!

Thank you!

I can wait 1 week more.
[Touch Cruise General] nofix:
I hope O2 will release their official Win 6.1 Upgrade for the Orbit2 soon after the htc release. Took long enough :(
[Touch Cruise General] chris10230:
i hope so to but for the ttyn2 and stellar i think it was at least a month or 2 before they got round to releasing the update annoyingly. I may just put the HTC rom on and then put the o2 one when they eventually release it for all of the masses.
[Touch Cruise General] pedernais:
Waiting, to see!

RUU_Polaris_HTC_GER_3.13.412.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe is the name of the update and the size is 80MB aprox.
[Touch Cruise General] Dave_Kjam:
So we have an inside man, nice.

Is that the german rom? Are they realeasing all country specific roms at the same time or only the WWE version?

A PTG version with all operators settings would be nice, it would save some time tuning it up after I flash it.
[Touch Cruise General] ridli:
they are releasing for all countries, when they have all the roms they release.

I tried the rom and i must say that it isn't what we were all hoping, if you know any program benchmark i install it and see what improvements has. :(
[Touch Cruise General] sonus:
Damn, that's upsetting ridli. Do they at least have any software updates to it (i.e. updated HTC stuff) or is it only WM6.1 that they added?
[Touch Cruise General] ridli:
im doing the spb benchmark... in 30-35min end and we can know the result...

Windows Mobile 6.1, Opera, Windows Update, SMS Service, Java and only a few more stupid things, nothing interesting like diamond theme or something like this
[Touch Cruise General] iseeka:
waiting those results :)
[Touch Cruise General] ridli:
ok, here are the benchmark

UDK R8. (without video driver)

UDK R9 ( with video driver)

Official Rom with win. mobile 6.1
[Touch Cruise General] VoyagerBG:
It`s interesting.....looks like here is a driver in official rom :eek:
[Touch Cruise General] Dave_Kjam:
Looking good.

Any idea on the release date? Today maybe? Otherwise i'll have to flash it with udk's new rom.
[Touch Cruise General] iseeka:
alreaady released

advise: have to activate wifi, not an error

feels fast
[Touch Cruise General] deechte:
Where can it be downloaded?
[Touch Cruise General] ahmedmohsin:
Yea where could we download the 6.1 ROM??

Am interested to know too !!
[Touch Cruise General] w000ter:
Thanks for taking the time to update us on your findings Ridli! Looks like it wont take long before we'll get our grubby hands on the ROM :D
[Touch Cruise General] Snapphane:
Yeah new (official) ROM would be really nice :)

I was making the choice between Polaris and Diamond and decided I didn't need all that flashy stuff on the Diamond and instead could use the SDMicro support and longer battery time of the Polaris.

Now it seems I will be getting the best of both worlds! :D
[Touch Cruise General] ridli:
i dont know how is the camara in diamond but with the new rom from HTC or the UDK rom we have the same slow camara at the first time.

The driver doesn't do anything in the camera!! :mad:

I dont know if UDK have the same driver in his rom but it isnt he can do a interesting rom with the official driver.
[Touch Cruise General] sonus:
That's because the camera slow-down in dim lighting is not a bug, nor is it a driver problem. It's actually a feature. The camera automatically enters night mode, and keeps the shutter open longer to capture brighter shots in low light. The problem is you need to keep still to capture such a shot. We should have the option to turn night mode off, rather than be forced to use it.
[Touch Cruise General] nofix:
here you can find the official German O2 release for the XDA Orbit 2: http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/xdaorbit2/index.html

[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
That's great news! Only problem is it makes waiting for the WWE version way harder ;)
[Touch Cruise General] Wingmaker101:
Will this official WM6.1 ROM from HTC include video graphics driver?

WM 6.1 is necessary as Flash Lite 3 only works well in WM6.1.
[Touch Cruise General] ridli:
Yes i know, but a little optimizacion in night mode maybe be wonderful.

I know the driver cant fix the problem with the video, but HTC say in this update they fix that with the new driver, its only that
[Touch Cruise General] nofix:
I think so, with the latest O2 ROM all navigation feels incredibly faster...
[Touch Cruise General] rgr81:
Can't await the official HTC GER release :-)

Is the update out already?

Those FPS are good or bad values...???

Thanks.
[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
Will the new ROM have the TouchFlo 2D that's floating around...?
[Touch Cruise General] Anolnx:
If I can bet, i'd say "not the slightest chance"...

How can HTC convice you to upgrade to an new model if they give you all the good things for your good old mate?

Don't worry, the rom cooker will do it... ;)
[Touch Cruise General] Wingmaker101:
I don't care about the flashy TouchFLO 3D eye candy, just give us back the video drivers, and WM6.1 update asap.
[Touch Cruise General] sonus:
Apple somehow managed to convince people to upgrade to the new iPhone despite offering the same software upgrades to both old and new iPhone users. All I have to say is a bit of customer service goes a long way.

Furthermore, they shouldn't have to rely on NOT fixing software to make us upgrade. Instead they should rely on making better products overall. All I can say is that this whole fiasco of not providing any updates to the Touch Cruise, is really making me want to head over to the Apple side. I have hunch that in a year from now, they will have a larger developer base than we have anyway.

I have utmost respect for our ROM cookers, but that doesn't put HTC off the hook. And besides that, its very difficult to find any cooked ROM that is 100% stable and bug free.
[Touch Cruise General] dysolve:
its really a bit a of a let down on HTC that people are staying with HTC phones only because of the cooks! The iphone is becoming more tempting everyday as I play with my ipod touch more. the ipod has a few things wrong with it but at least apple looks like they are trying to resolve those issues unlike HTC. Even if HTC is releasing fixs and updates they do not let any one know crap!
[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
What's your point? they never promised anything after putting a working device on the market... if you want a iPhone, get one, they're neat -- I'm not sure we need to know, but whatever works for you...
[Touch Cruise General] pezmannen:
No news on when we can expect the update?
[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
Any time now ;)

[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
I'm assuming this is what we'll be seeing at the HTC site when the release is made available? My Cruise took it without modifying it for cooked ROMs, and it's only ever had the WWE shipping ROM on it.

Don't really notice anything different other than the minimal standard new 6.1 stuff. Speedwise -- it seems the same to me.

I tried TouchFlo 2D, while pretty, it's not actually all that practical -- so the ROM is OK for me. Will check the HTC release once posted to make sure it's the same before I load all my software ;)
[Touch Cruise General] sonus:
I'm quite sure this isn't the link that we are looking for, but can anyone access the official Touch Cruise ROM on this HTC page?

http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=59&cat=0&dl_id=18
[Touch Cruise General] gastonfama:
I can't.

It says that "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."

:(
[Touch Cruise General] ahmedmohsin:
this is taking frustratingly more time now...

Comeon...HTC !!
[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
That's an invalid link, circulated a while ago -- sort of a manipulated link for another device that mistakingly appears to be a ROM upgrade for the Touch Cruise. It's obviously not though, surprised you'd post it as something valid.

The official link for Touch Cruise software is here: http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=59&cat=all
[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
'Frustratingly more' than what? HTC never promised a release date for a Touch Cruise ROM update, so they're not 'late'...
[Touch Cruise General] w000ter:
confirmed heheh..

Although I have a feeling we'll be seeing the official release on these forums even before it's on their own site ;)

Afterall.. xda-dev is one massive forum filled with ubar geekness! :D

Seems like it wont work for us Swedish users. Guess I have to wait a while longer...
[Touch Cruise General] FlaTEriC18041983:
same for me... the link is still not usable, i guess, when I to Support, choose Touch Cruise, there is no ROM update, online the 3 old hotfixes
[Touch Cruise General] pananza:
I don't think this is the real update:

1. I cannot navigate to the update/url on the site. No matter what language/region I select, when I go to ROM updates under support the list is empty.

2. Date of update is 2008-08-04

3. The text says "New features and improvements are available with this operating software. For pure English Support, please download the Windows Mobile 6_English-WWE_ME file and install it on your device. "

Note the Windows Mobile 6 and not 6.1.
[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
Thanks Sherlock, but If you'd read just a few posts back in this topic, you'd see there was no need for you to type all that. Please take a look at message #86 in this topic: Fake Link Posted Again by 'Sonus'
[Touch Cruise General] FlaTEriC18041983:
not so offensive please ;)

it just was because in #90 was a "new" link, which actually is the same as you posted in #86 being fake... but this I noticed only later on... think it was the same for pananza...

so, to be absolutely clear now: AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO OFFICIAL 6.1 ROM-UPGRADE
[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
It pretty much was already 'absolutely clear'... but... thanks for the refresher ;)
[Touch Cruise General] samsenteur:
So what? All of this thread was just a joke, or mytho delirium ?

or do we have to expect something from HTC for some weeks ?
[Touch Cruise General] yrreP:
The WM6.1 ROMs have been released internally within HTC, the one's that are flying around XDA at the moment have the correct ROM codes so I would say that they are genuine.

The ROMs should be on the HTC website soon... just don't know when

:s

Sadly enough (but I guess we couldn't expect anything else) : it does not have the nice look&feel I had with UDK Syrius R0.

So I guess that I'll flash to UDK Syrius R1, if it ever becomes available :rolleyes:

[Touch Cruise General] Snapphane:
With the official there shouldn't be any warranty issues. It's a service provided and many companies do it.

Take a look at the iPhone as an example. Instead of recalling faulty devices, they solve the problems with software fixes and that will in no way affect the warranty :)

HTC's Official ROM vs. Bepe's WM 6.1 Build 0.65 ?

Hi all,

I'd like to know your opinion, so far, this Bepe's version has been the most stable WM (2002,2003, 05 and 06) version that I have ever seen...

Would you recommend to go for this official upgrade? will i get any benefit out of this official upgrade?

Official WM6.1 ROM

RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_3.13.405.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe

versus the original official WM6.0 WWE ROM:

1) new ROM does not keep the landscape mode after soft reset (unlike the original ROM). It's inconvenient (to me, since I never use the portrait mode).

2) Scroll weel in new ROM does not scroll in RSS HUB, but changes the scale (text size). One has to press the weel to scroll. It's quite inconvenient.

3) Scroll weel still works normally in both Word and Explorer viewers. HTML rednering with new ROM is faster than that with the original ROM.

4) "END" hardware button works like "Today" and puts most opened programs (including TomTom) into the system tray. It's convenient.

5) No visible improvenemts in DivX QVGA video.
