Suggest greater focus on wm6 version 2.5

[pjam]

Hi,

After trying the various excellent roms from our charmer wm6 developers I've now gone back to version 2.5.

This version has working a2dp and internet explorer home page. (Although the latter has now been figured out)

The ability to switch between page scroll and link scroll also works within version 2.5. (I use pieplus)

Version 2.5 is also very fast and seems very stable, with a good amount of free memory available for all the extra stuff we like to put on.

Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the effort that has gone into the version 4 roms but I am struggling to fault version 2.5. (unless I've missed something.)

I've just been doing my homework and it seems that the a2dp support on version 2.5 is the same as the wm5 as far as quality is concerned.

According to various sources, the true wm6 greatly improves the a2dp quality allowing a "joint stereo" setting to be used within the registry. The joint stereo option within this rom and the wm5 rom seemingly improves quality but actually plays in mono rather than stereo.

I've just tested this.

I have no idea how to do it but is it possible to just add a true wm6 bluetooth stack?

cheers

I am still with 2.5, mainly because of a2dp - I use it every day. In testing the 4.x roms, I couldn't see a big advantage either - the main change is to the icons in Office Mobile apps and their support of the new compressed XML document formats (which just slows them down imho).

I think it would be good to have a list of the registry tweaks etc that have been applied to make 4.x better so we can try the same on the 2.5 rom.

Pjam: you can't base your theory on just one example (yours). Most users reported an increase in speed after flashing the 004.4 rom. The thing is, it's on completely different core, and that's why it cannot be compared to 2.5.

I recently disposed myself of my charmer so I'm not able to continue the work, unlike nocture... The only thing missing in 4.4 is A2DP and IE homepage (issue already solved). Having that fixed, the final rom will be ready and I'm assuming it won't be developed any more.

Personally, I use wizard nowadays and got through various wm6 rom for wizard. I NEED to say that they are all buggy and unstable, which was not observed by me on the vlono wm6 for charmer. So instead of wallowing and complaining you should just try to embrace the rom AS it IS.

Steady on Vlodeck.

I've already complimented you and nocturne on the various roms and was simply pointing out, politely, what I have observed after trying each version. Nocturne has already pointed out that he doesn't have an a2dp headset to test so it is up to us that have headsets to highlight what does and doesn't work.

I may not be a programmer but feel I have contributed to the wm6 roms by offering suggestions and potential solutions as I have found them. I haven't just sat back and waited.

I am not wallowing or complaining, just opening a discussion that will hopefully help others to make a decision.
