Your best bet might be to wait for the new official TyTN ROM. Now that the Cingular 8525 has shipped, it's my hope that HTC will rededicate its resources to supporting its own flagship product (but where have we heard that one before...).

If you're in a hurry, see my signature for a combination that's working very well...

i'm confused now...
there's a big thread here titled "new HTC TyTn rom" isnt that an official htc rom?

There's nothing really "new" about it. It seems to have all the same bugs and problems as the old one.

Personally, I am using the Cingular 1.34 rom on my TyTN, with a customized Extended Rom, which is mostly made of up the original TyTN extended rom, and a bunch of patches and tweaks from Cingular and Dopod ext roms.

Just curious, why did you go with the Cingular ROM? Also, what did you use from the Dopod Ext. ROM?

I'm using the TyTN as delivered, with a couple of Cingular Ext ROM bits... Working very well so far.

Which cabs are you using from the Cingular ExtROM?

Which cabs are you using from the Cingular ExtROM?

I personally installed:

CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_PC_Hermes_GenericLight_REG_060609 .CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\C_HSDPA_Wirelss_Modem_Stall.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\T_mm1lib_DLL.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_PIE_Default.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\SMS_Setting_07Jun06.CAB

However, the only thing I really noticed was the Wireless Modem one. It obviously installs a somewhat useful program. The others, I'm not so sure. I still had to manually enter data network and MMS settings.

I did try the remaining CABs initially. They're worthless, just shortcuts to get XpressMail, GoodLink and TeleNav. All of which can be had from web pages directly. No need to install shortcuts.

Cirgular rom seems to have fixed the following for me:
1) Camera doesn't crash or take black/blank pictures at random times
2) TCPMP player actually works, or at least the audio part of it does (on original TyTN rom audio skips like crazy)
3) WiFi connection seems to be much more stable (I had an issue at one point where WiFi would attempt to connect, and the WAP point would immediately dissapear. WAP worked fine on other devices.)

This is what is in my Extended ROM (P.S. I had to use fit4cat to unhide and unlock my extended rom, then copy all these files in, along with a modded config.txt file, and hard-reset)
From HTC TyTN 1.18.255.106 ExtROM WWE
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_ExtVersion.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\P_Generic_UI.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_3-AP-Patch.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_PC_Hermes_Qtek_WWE_060621.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\VT_Engine_23818_ext.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_ace-certs.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP_mHub_060630.CAB
(I don't use MMS so removed that cab)

From Dopod 838 Pro ROM 1.30.707.4 ExtROM
CAB: \Extended_ROM\P_wifi_fix.CAB


And from Cingular 8525 1.34.502.1 ExtROM WWE
CAB: \Extended_ROM\C_HSDPA_Wirelss_Modem_Stall.cab


Oh yeah, also, before flashing, I installed the SIM & CID unlocker to make my device SuperCID, and afterwards installed the TyTN original skin (found in Wiki under Hermes Dialers), and the PTT button patch that lets me use it again. Here in US I can't use the front camera for anything phone-related, so I'm not worried abuot loosing it in my dialer. It DOES work with CoolCamera, though, so the drivers for it ARE included in the Cingular rom.

So what exactly does this do:
From Dopod 838 Pro ROM 1.30.707.4 ExtROM
CAB: \Extended_ROM\P_wifi_fix.CAB

I installed it for shiggles... haven't noticed anything yet. Think I may give the Cingular ROM a shot tomorrow to see what they did with it and see if I can get a little better radio performance on their network. Going to go pick up a real 3G SIM tomorrow too.

Do you know what each of the CAB files install. I'm wondering if I need any of them.


Thanks
