View Full Version : Best build for a XDA IIs wm200se?

Ok, I'm pretty much getting to grips with my IIs...

I've already upgraded my rom to o2's 1.40242 (up and down just to practice) and I know what I'm doing in so far as editing my registry... but my machine still isn't all it could be. ;)

I've pretty much read the forum upside down, but there are so many options to this and that scattered around in the various threads that that it would take me forever to try them all for functionality, so as opposed to asking for help, I'd like to instead call upon your collective experience.

As said I'm looking to make my machine the best it can be for a wm2003se PDA (not really looking to upgrade to wm5 because 2003 is still the most compatible os out there at the mo), so I'd like your thoughts on the best roms and radio versions based on your useage. (best being most stable and functional (heh, I really like a2dp... but I know the issues).

So... what's your advise?

Thx in advance, all suggestions most welcome (well.... the non-profane ones anyway. ;))

Finally... big kudos to all the devs,(pro and hobby) you all done some really stunning stuff, this is a hell of a forum. (I'd name them but I'd like to finish this post today.)

MORE options!... are you purposely trying to give me brain melt? ;)

I might give it a try at some point when it comes out of beta... but for the moment I'm really just going for stability and functionality.

Also you mentioned the latest radio rom.. which (if I'm correct) is the 1.15 version.. but I've read that alot of people have gone back to 1.13.... ho hum.

Thx though. :)

Any more suggestions, people?

What about suggesting a really nice cooked rom (or baked.. whatever.)

Also any chance of giving me a reason why you would recommend a particular rom over another?

Thx.

Well, in case you didn't saw:

I am just one newbie here, I will receive my SX66 in 5 days, and at least, I am trying to help other persons with the stuff i know!

Patience i don't have much knowledge, but i believe it was better than not replying to you.

no problem man :)

I'll try the upgrade to radio 1.15, and if it don't go well, i'll change to 1.13.

Anyway, also would like to try out one WM5 release, I am thinking in one clean helmi release.

Also, i've got from one portuguese forum, some interesting files that put the 2003 SE with one graphical aspect similar to wm6. (thats one of the things i'll try.

By studying all those files, maybe one day, we can compile one rom to our needs.

Sounds interesting.. but watch you don't slow your machine down to much.. that's (and compatibility issues) my main reason for not going to new with my os.. all the pretties just bog the system down.

I will try.
also, i believe those new rom's are much faster and stable than the first ones that appeared. :)

Hey people.. still lookin' for recommendations.

here, the only recommendations we get is this: "screw it alone, we don't like you to do questions"

but for WM2003 there aren't big recommendations. it is already one outdated platform, and all of them are with the eyes on WM5 platform.

the last system roms are based on 1.42.xxx

Szr.. I didn't see that you had replied. ;)

The newest original rom from o2 was the 1.40.242.. I think that the 1.42 is from t-mobile.. do you know if that will work on an XDA IIs?
