anybody in here interested in cooking an AKU3.x Rom update for the Charmer?

[duke_stix]

Hey all
My charmer has arrived, and im picking it up tomorrow.
I recently had the joy of playing with two different XDA II handsets, one with an AKU 2.0 rom update and the other with an AKU 3.5 update on it. the AKU 3.5 both looked and performed a LOT better.

What i want to do is the following:

Cook and release a streamlined minimalist AKU 3.x (any AKU 3 version rom, be it 3.1,3.3,3.5)

however, my knowledge in this department is a little lacking.

is there ANYBODY in here who runs a charmer and has a little knowledge in cooking roms?

I'm thinking it would be as simple as the following:

1) extract AKU2.0 ROM from Charmer
2) Remove 'OS' part from the rom
3) extract AKU3.5 ROM from prophet (as this is the closest device)
4) insert the OS from the prophet into the charmer rom
5) Patch with drivers for charmer
6) recompile and away you go!

is there ANYBODY here who is willing to help?!

thank you

helmi_c is seems to be working on it. I have downloaded his AKU3 rom with nottice that it is not yet designed for regular user - and it really isn't :-) Spent two days ressurecting my poor charmer...

ive been looking at it too. only 2 things ive noticed is a problem with the sound and internet sharing apart from that its seems fine.

well, i'll be happy if you can provide me a copy for testing - i will send you feedback, of course

Hey
well, once my charmer comes back from repair, needless to say, i will be beta testing a good, clean, stable aku 3.3 wm5 release!

dave, could you provide some sort of quick guide on how to modify the extended rom please?!

thanx

Oh boy, if this gets uploaded would i be able to upgrade to it?

I have tried a few times with dave's other rom but had no luck as i cant unlock my phone due to, i believe, upgraing using the tmobile original file. before cid unlocking it. As i understand it i now have v2 bootloeaders which cant be cid unlocked.

Hi
Hows development of this going now? not heard anything, have PM'd Helmi

would really like to release an AKU3.x rom for the charmer, would be perfect!

[nocturne.op.15]

an have you any response from helmi? waiting for aku 3.x so long :-)

Well, who needs Aku3 anyway if there's a rom with wm6? ;-)

I wrote a mail to T-Mobile (Germany) and asked them about any planned updates for the Charmer. As soon as I get a response, I'm gonna post it of course.

[duke_stix]

youser, i wouldnt hold out any hope for a wm6 rom for anything currently out apart from the VERY high end like the universal/hermes

i havent had a response from helmi yet, going to wait out a little while longer.

dave106 appears to have had a 'semi-working' rom on his device albeit minor things not working like camera, but im *hoping* that shouldn't be too difficult to fix.

if dave or helmi could please please please please please (pretty) please post an update on the status of an AKU 3.x update it would be extremely helpful!!

[dave106]

well i'll be jumping ship soon, replacing the casing and ebaying up my charmer as im moving onto the trinity.

[duke_stix]

is there NO hope for any charmer users at the moment?! will you not help us develope a little?!

if you could provide me with a *test* rom, that has bugs in it, i could probably work on ironing out the bugs (worth mentioning that i only use my charmer solely as a PDA, not as a phone)

please dave! we need help from the masters of xda-devs!

Well, helmi's aku 3.3 rom is available on pdamobiz.com. Speed is excellent, but unfortunately this ROM contains a lot of stuff included :-(
If you can live without some regional settings, which are missing (eg. czech), this ROM might be useful for you.
