Upgrade from Wizard

[VCTRL-Ekin]

Hey guys,

Long time reader, first time poster. Today my HTC Wizard (branded: T-Mobile Vario) finally broke down - it had white lines and stuff all over the screen every 2-3 mins and needed reboots before too but now it doesn't even turn on so I called up TM and asked for a upgrade but they said I wasn't allowed until April, I did try my luck and say I can extend contract and stuff but no joy :( So I ordered my HTC TyTN from expanSYS and looking to get it on Friday.

I have a two questions that I would like to know if anyone can help;

1) How does the TyTN compare to the Wizard?
2) What ROM should I use? (Network: T-Mobile) I want something very lightweight like the Molski.BIZ ROMS for the Wizard :)

Regards,
Ekin

Hey guys,

My TyTN is arriving tommorow and I've built up a small todo list (CIDUnlock, HardSPL, RadioUpgrade) but I still don't know what clean WM5 ROM to use. Please help me with this :)

Read read and read

I think you are talking abt WM6 (not WM5 as posted by you).
Back up your SPL/IPL. save a copy of your original rom/radio in case you need to downgrade and return for warranty (if that is possible)

Also know that whatever you do, you voided your warranty and you assumed all risks. Otherwise good luck and enjoy. Hermes are much faster than wizard with a faster CPU and allows HSDPA connection. (in some cases video conference if you have one that is not cingular 8525). All other features are similiar.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking of using WM5 (the old one) as my friend said WM6 was totally buggy and unstable - I installed it on my Wizard once and I missed alot of calls and stuff like that. If its now stable with no bugs, what ROM do you suggest (something minimalistic)?

Edit: I was looking at Black Dymond, CUSTEL and lvswCE5.2.1413_aku.3_Sleuth255Variant_v1.0

Take a peek here on the procedures for a safe upgrade dude:

I also have a wizard. Uses Faria WM 6 rom (or variants) and 2.19 Radio
I missed no calls Wizard has issues with their radio but that is another topic all together

WM6 from LVSW is most stable and is as good if not better than OEM roms.
If I am you , I would stick with LVSW, ELF or even Sleuth as they all have a base that is the most stable. Once you know you got a good rom, you can venture out to test others. If you start with a buggy one, then you will be disapointed.

WM6 is as stable as WM5.

As a matter of fact I had more issues with WM5 than I have had with WM6.

Thanks for the replies guys! Keep them coming, right now I'm thinking between Faria's SuperClean WM6 ROM and the lvswCE5.2.1413_aku.3_Sleuth255Variant_v1.0.

Finally decided on Elf v2.1, got my HTC TyTN and flashed it - working fine up to now.
