custel let me tell you these are some fast and stable roms.
Running Custel's 2.0 TouchFlo Version.
Running very smoothly. Faster than Dutty's TouchFlo Beta ROM Tilt Version. I like having KaiserTweak automatically installed. ActiveSync works very quickly.
Phew. So far so good. ROM is fast and works fine with the latest Radio. I've been running in half a day and battery is definitely lasting longer. I have ActiveSync ON (with the phone connected to an exchange server the whole time) and I'm in a border 3G area.
If battery does hold like this, this is by far the best setup. Awesome CUSTEL.
Great rom, I must commit. It is the fastes of all roms I've tried.
after installing the mobile crack my ram did drop a lil as expected but its totally worth it.. ive never seen htc audio or htc album load quicker.. programs open like instantly.. deff faster then duttys and i honestly thought his dogfood was the fastest.. move over dutty.. custel's back!
damn you CUSTEL...made me HardSPL my tilt and load your ROM...but this thing FLYS
I love this ROM. Its the only one that I've used that I have not looked back, or checked hourly for updates. Its exactly what I need :D
gonna try convincing my other coworkers to switch wont be hard tho this thing is blazin!!!


If you would like your review added or removed please let me know :)

[AllTheWay]

Looks very enticing.

Going to try this on my Tilt and see how it works.

Custel...would you like an alternate link for users to download from. I can upload your ROM via MegaUpload if you like. I'm downloading the touch version right now.

[urbanSpeakYanks]

jeez custel, you really want me to hardSPL my tilt to test your rom's huh?

[cuboosh]

im running 2.0 att build.. its slick

[lusta1988]

custel let me tell you these are some fast and stable roms. I have on question: why is the at&t radio necessary even for those non tilt versions?

[rush242]

Does anyone have a link to the cab for the HTC automatic settings program? I know when I travel to foreign countries and pop in the SIM, I don't want to screw around with setting them manually. I MUCH prefer the Kaiser just taking charge and doing it.

Thanks!!

[aadadams]

custel let me tell you these are some fast and stable roms. I have on question: why is the at&t radio necessary even for those non tilt versions?

The rom is locked to the radio. If you run the att rom then you have to use the radio or you will not have any audio.

[lusta1988]

I know that, but are these all 4 roms at&t ones?

[AllTheWay]

Running Custel's 2.0 TouchFlo Version.

Running very smoothly. Faster than Dutty's TouchFlo Beta ROM Tilt Version. I like having KaiserTweak automatically installed. ActiveSync works very quickly.

No issues thus far. I prefer the 10 Button Comm Manager but that is any easy fix. Going to try it out for a couple of days...but overall very impressed.

Update: Does not automatically detect Network Settings. Also having problem after soft reset HTC Home does not come up correctly. Have to go into Today Menu and uncheck it and then check it again to make it work. Kind of annoying.

[aadadams]

From first post: (CE 5.2.1622 | Build 18128.0.4.4)

[cuboosh]

2 are att 2 are generic, its based all new att build.

[dan13l]

Custel 2 flashed and in testing right now. First impressions are that it's not quite as quick as v1, but that's not too much of a problem as I want to test the new radio rom.

I have noticed that there's no Band tab in Phone options though - makes it a little trickier to turn off 3G (I suspect I can install the 10 button comm manager and do it that way though).

Will report back after a day or so testing.

I tried this ROM and Dutty's ROM and I still get the same thing.

My buddy at work who I sold my 8525 too is now seeing just AT&T and not 3G AT&T. Maybe AT&T did something?

[Sane]

Looks like its gonna be flash time before Monday.

[Pops_G]

Im having an issue installing java applications. Both Opera Mini, and Gmail have java apps that when I try and install I get the following error.

...cannot be found at this URL. - 1
Please contact your operator for more information.

So the java client has some issue with URLs passed to it for the install file. Has anyone else had this issue?

[aadadams]

Do you have a Midlet Manager installed?

[TheSpindoctor]

Can anyone confirm whether AT&T 3G is active or inactive with this Rom? (Per AllTheWay's posting above).

[sgreenwood99]

My 3G has been working fine from Houston (for last few hours since I flashed).

[swtaltima]

rom link down?

[Pops_G]

Do you have a Midlet Manager installed?

Yes, this ROM comes with a Midlet Manger.

Can anyone confirm whether AT&T 3G is active or inactive with this Rom? (Per AllTheWay's posting above).

Yes I had to enable it first though, I did this in KaiserTweak.

[aadadams]

Which one does it come with? Have you tried to reinstall the Midlet Manager to see if yo can fix it? Just curious, because I have not flashed yet and I rather like Opera Mini as well.

[CUSTEL]

If you wouldn't mind a mirror would be great! :cool:

Thanks!!
If someone can post it here I will add it to the second post, if not I will search for it in a bit and add it myself. I know I had a request to re-add it to my rom for my next release but my v2.0 had already been compiled and uploaded before the request came in :o

I know that, but are these all 4 roms at&t ones?

AT&T Chopped & Screwed Variants are for AT&T Tilt users, CUSTEL variants are for all users.
Phew. So far so good. ROM is fast and works fine with the latest Radio. I've been running in half a day and battery is definitely lasting longer. I have ActiveSync ON (with the phone connected to an exchange server the whole time) and I'm in a border 3G area.

Thanks Jelly, hopefully this version resolved the issues you were having with the one that you had tested earlier in the day.
Do you have a Midlet Manager installed?
It has the default midlet manager from the AT&T build.
Can anyone confirm whether AT&T 3G is active or inactive with this Rom? (Per AllTheWay's posting above).
Yes, it is active.
rom link down?
Just checked and it is working properly for me.

[cuboosh]

mmm rom is quicker then 1.0 how much crack did u smoke tonight..?

[thomassster]

I get these blue lines on my contacts and installing a cab after installing all my usual cabs. I never noticed this on any of my other roms. Anybody havea clue what happened?

[CUSTEL]

Looks to be a background image was added to the contacts portion, I can't really help much because I don't know what your usual cabs are.

[jpope]

Those lines are typically set by whichever theme you are using.

That too :p

[cuboosh]

...i dont have that problem using the at&t tilt theme

[singrysweets]

Those lines are typically set by whichever theme you are using.

And you also might have too many themes on your device... you might just wanna leave about 4 of them in there.

[CUSTEL]

High speed mirror added to the first post.

[cirilc]

Great rom, I must commit. It is the fastes of all roms I've tried. But still... some bugs:

- Video call doesn't work. If someone calls me in, I even don't now someone is calling me. And outgoing video call is not possible to make at all
- Sometimes after phone switches itself off, I cannot power it on (wake up), until I soft-reset it, pressing the buttons only switches leds on keys on.

And yes, it's clean rom, without any cabs installed.

But... incredible speed... nice work.

BR
Ciril

PS
I think it's Radio ROM issue.

Sound issues will be related to not having the latest ROM which is why I posted a link to it under the requirements section of the first post.

I will research the sleep of death issue, this is the first time of it being reported with out additional apps or modifications added. Which version of the ROM are you using?

1. gmail java app does not work when installed. when we launch the java midlet it closes immediately...

2. i have my contacts on sim only, i can't view from sim and i have to copy them to phone which is not what i would like.

1. I will do research to determine the best fit java midlet for the device and add it to the second post shortly. Apparently there are issues with the default java midlet integrated in the AT&T ROM.

2. I have created a cab and attached it to the second post to fix this issue for you.

If you can fix the delayed GPS issue where it takes sooooooooo long to find a signal it would be good. Is that something you can fix or is it just something we have to live with?

Is this an issue with my rom specifically or is it an issue with the kaiser? I apologize I don't have the device myself so I am unaware of the satelite acquiring speeds. :p

I have added 2 optional java midlet managers to the 2nd post, one of these may fix your midlet issues.

► Java Midlet Managers:

Having issues with your java applications not working with the default midlet manager? Try one of the below managers to see if it improves your java experience!

it's an issue with the device, however, i have a good idea for you........

Can you make a tool which exports your 'personal' settings into a file i.e. ring volume, sounds and back light settings and such things? Everytime i try a new rom i end up having to put all these setting back to normal and it can take a lot of time...

What do uthink?

Yes, it can be installed on any rom.

I just dropped little something for you Custel...

Installed this morning and everything seems to be running smoothly... Final opinion is made on Monday-Tuesday when i actually use the phones capabilities in full.

Windows Mobile devices I just can't get enough battery life out of. Even with an extended battery it is the equivelant of my blackberry with the standard battery. Then my blackberry with extended battery it's not even a fair comparison :p

I may pick one up just for development sake so I can do more in depth testing of new tweaks and customizations.

I flashed it one more time. So far so good, but voicecall isn't working at all. Even if I try with other skin or simmilar things. With other roms video call is working great. I'm using:

I don't have a video dialer installed, you will have to install it with a cab for the video call feature. My rom was developed around testers that didn't utilize the feature. :o

I will see what I can find for you, I don't have any on hand.

[Pops_G]

If you can fix the delayed GPS issue where it takes sooooooooo long to find a signal it would be good. Is that something you can fix or is it just something we have to live with?

You know I used GPS twice yesterday with this ROM, and it got the fastest fix ever since I bought the phone. So I believe the GPS fix speed is unrelated to this ROM since you are experiencing long lock times with it.

Custel, something you may want to consider for the next build. Some of the options in KaiserTweak are set on the default. There are a few adjustments that could be made that are more optimal. Specifically, all of the power saving options are defaulted to disabled. TCP/IP settings are not to the recommended. The "notifications" resume from suspend are still at 1 second, this would prevent push mail updates from sleep. A few others I dont recall were also at the default.

I know these are all fixable by the user, but it would be nice to be defaulted to the best settings for those users that don't check. Plus it could make your ROM work fast, better and last longer between charges.

Im one of the people who had an issue with the java midlet, I installed one of the ones you recommended, I will follow up on if it helped. If it does work, is there any way to remove the included one? Its not listed under "Remove programs". Not a big deal though.


I love this ROM. Its the only one that I've used that I have not looked back, or checked hourly for updates. Its exactly what I need :D

I am going to make a v2.1 w/ java midlet removed for users that are experiencing problems with it in the near future.

[etijburg]

Sound issues will be related to not having the latest ROM which is why I posted a link to it under the requirements section of the first post.

The sound issue or the sod issue?

[Pops_G]

With the current build. Installing Jbed Java MIDlet manager 20070622.2.1 actually broke it more then before. It might be because there were 2 java managers. I could'nt get it to even run. I would recommend removing that link.

However Tao Java MIDlet manager 10.1.7.575 solved all my problems. I just had to reinstall the applications.

I desided to take it easy today, so i've been testing a little today after all...

I experienced few SOD's, I havent had those since uprgading to Kaiser from Hermes. I have same programs installed as before the flash, and less actually.

Since that, I detoxed it from crack, well see if it makes any difference.

One thing, does the video call feature work? Im only able to make a normal call from the video call button.

[etijburg]

The sound issue or the sod issue?

Screen of Death

[decepticon]

I had the SOD issue with v1 just flashed 2 and hoping this resolved it somewhat atleast.

Had no additional cabs installed, just synced my m2w account when I noticed it

Thank You sir :) I will be looking into the sod issue once I know if it is apparent in both touch and non-touch or if only touch users are experiencing it so I can more accurately diagnose the problem.

[Sane]

Im running the non touch version.

[Pops_G]

After more testing Ive had the best results with JBED-JAVA_MIDLET_MANAGER.2007.08.02.2.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=49222&d=1188897204)

[CUSTEL]

Thanks for the help Pops, I am adding it to the 2nd post now.

SOD again. As soon as I let it go to sleep it doesent respond anymore.

I have not had this issue on any other ROM.

I reflashed both the radio and the ROM clean with not apps and I am have the SOD constantly.

[Sane]

About a month ago when I got the Kaiser, I immediately flashed Helmi's rom on it, and that is only other rom I had in it. I didn’t even turn it on with the original rom.

Installed programs are:

Spb Pocket Plus 4, Spb Diary (only things on my today screen), Total Commander, rk-OSR, WkTask, Jimm98y’s smart dialling, Spb Elf calculator skin, Windows live and Sharky48 softkey changer which actually is something I dint have on my previous installation.

Maybe I should try and uninstall it…

[Sane]

Good thing is that it happens so often its easy to see what helps. :D

[mcmexican]

Have you tried flashing to the stock manufacturer rom then back to Custel's?

[mcmexican]

I had some issues reflashed to factory then reflashed back and it cleared them up.

[Sane]

Have you tried flashing to the stock manufacturer rom then back to Custel's?

No, just Custel's rom and radio...

[Sane]

Unisntalling Sharky48 softkey changer didnt change anything. I will probably flash again and see if it makes a difference.

[CUSTEL]

Try flashing back to a factory ship rom and then flashing to mine as mcmexican suggested.

[Sane]

Flashed back to original HTC rom and then back to Custel's again. Still SOD's quite frequently. If no one has any ideas how to fix it, I have to flash different rom tomorrow.

[cuboosh]

no sod here.. i use directpush too.

[decimusmaximus7]

I would like to upgrade the cube to the new version 1.1.0. Can anyone tell me how to do this on a rom such as this one which has the cube already cooked in?

[shigeo]

i just got my Tilt from the company yesterday and as always jumped on here i was going to try to use the stock rom for a week or two just to get a feel for it but... saw CUSTEL made a rom and NEEDED to Flash it so after a quick catch up read to look for changes in procedure from 8525 to this and then took the plunge last night. and i wont be turning back.

havnt even had the chance to change my sig =()

gonna try convincing my other coworkers to switch wont be hard tho this thing is blazin!!! still gotta try the touch ver.


Thanks CUSTEL gonna send a lil gift your way next paycheck.

quick question anyone experiencing screen touch lag? tap the the screen and nothing happens...

thanks

I am going to try and look in to it tomorrow but I'm sure it will be hard to establish a connection to what is causing it due to the fact that only 3-4 users are experiencing it.

Well I have v2.1 which I am in the process of uploading which you can give a try to see if it resolves your issue.

► Change Log:

Removed Java Midlet Manager
Added HTC Network Connection Setup to Non-AT&T Variants
Additional Performance Registry Tweaks
Added 3g button to Comm Manager
Reverted to conventional touch appearance (Touch Variants)

[Frontline]

Also, when using a HSPSA network, the network icon does not show this, it only shows the 3G icon....a bug perhaps?

Is there a option to enable H icon in Kaiser Tweak?

[Frontline]

I have not checked...also another bug is that the 'show sim contacts' cab does not seem to work, even after a reboot. This used to work in V1.0 but not in v2.0, it's esentaial feature.

[Sane]

Mine shows the H. This new radio seems to be really good, i hate that i have to downgrade.

[Frontline]

Why do you have to downgrade? Does the requirement for custel 2.0 not mention we need the latest Radio ROM?

[CUSTEL]

I have not checked...also another bug is that the 'show sim contacts' cab does not seem to work, even after a reboot. This used to work in V1.0 but not in v2.0, it's esentaial feature.
The show sim contact's is just a basic registry modification. If the cab does not work which it should then navigate to TaskMan RegEdit and change the following string.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"ShowSIM"=dword:00000000

to

"ShowSIM"=dword:00000001

Then power cycle your device and the sim contacts should show.

Why do you have to downgrade? Does the requirement for custel 2.0 not mention we need the latest Radio ROM?

No v2.0 requires the new radio. He may have to switch rom's because he is experiencing a rare Screen of Death issue.

Can you make default Show Sim Contacts in V2.1?

Hi Custel,

I just stumbled into v2.1 on your download mirror.... is this a Touch varient? I am on an Orange UK version of the HTC TyTN II.... do you think I'm good to go or would you advise against flashing on a non-AT&T device?

Thanks for all your work!

The touch variant is still uploading, I will post when it is finished. It is titled CUSTEL Touch v2.1. This version will be fine to flash to a non-AT&T device, the only ones AT&T specific are the "AT&T Chopped & Screwed" variants. The only requirement is you must use the radio that was released with the AT&T ROM which can be found under "requirements" in the first post.

If you are seeking a non-touch variant then CUSTEL v2.1 is uploaded and ready to flash.

Will the 2.1 custel have the 'mobile crack' cab features built in?

[CUSTEL]

No it will not, I prefer to keep that as a per-user customization.

It helps me troubleshoot issues with the ROMs if they arise by keeping it an add-on option.

Wow, you just went up a notch on kudos points... how on earth do you create such stable builds without actually having the device? Trade secret I guess :-)

If I put this new radio on, I can go back to a previous version can't I? Oddly, I have a radio version that no one else seems to have on my Orange device: 1.27.12.29

hehe I get asked that a lot... Jake is a dedicated tester and for the most part I have learned what I can and can't do in terms of customizations from when I owned a hermes to maintain a good balance between speed and stability.

Yes, there is an radio repository RUU for you to be able to change the radio at any time. Although I am unsure of it contains your specific radio.

Looks like it's goodbye 12.29 and hello 14.09! Let's hope I'm not about to brick my phone, i'll let you know

EDIT: Work's fine if you follow the instructions :o

I guess I'll back everything up again and flash 2.1 in a few hours when I'm actually awake and not in zombie mode (that could be fun flashing my phone half asleep?)

EDIT: OK BIG WARNING HERE TO ORANGE USERS - Radio 1.27.14.09 DOES NOT WORK! I have no audio (no ring when called, can't here anything from the caller and they can't here you). Damn it!!!!!
Did you test that radio with your current rom or with my rom? Because that radio will only work with an AKU 0.4.4 ROM. If you aren't using an AKU 0.4.4 based rom you will not have sound.

(that could be fun flashing my phone half asleep?)

I use to flash my 8525 while it was at 10% battery life (not suppose to flash under 50%) and half asleep.... :p

Doh! Working fine now. :rolleyes:

The connection wizard isn't working though. On startup I got an "Error in the program." message from Connection Startup. I tried running this manually from Settings/Connections and get the same error

[benbekoster]

It seems to be a goed one, on the other hand the following issues are remarkable:
I just installed Custel touch 2.1 but connection setup does not start giving the following error: "Error in the program". This seems to be a major one.
Inside Communication Manager the 3G icon not visible like that of the other options on the left side.
I will test the ROM further.

Custel, it is maybe a better issue to remove Communication Manager from the Programs folder for the Custel Touch v2.1, because the same option is available from Settings->Connections->Wireless Manager as well as inside TouchFlo (cube).
Do you agree?

It must remain in programs folder so that users can assign it to a button. If you would like you can goto /windows/start menu/programs and delete the shortcut.

So obvious side effects of not having the connection wizard are no voicemail, and 3G isn't working.

The good news is that other than this, the ROM is brilliant! Really fast, get 70mb prog mem on boot. Now running Mobile Crack too, and pretty much all advised settings from kaiser tweak (I want to see if I can break it after all!). TomTom 6.032 in and running fine.

Oh, I get it - 3g is now fixed because Network Config is included, but there was never anything wrong with it before.

First thing I've noticed about 2.1 - I'm getting security warnings when I install cabs. Nothing major at all, and an easy fix, but just thought I'd point it out.

Will wait for the v2.2 then. I've seen a lot of exciting feedback on the speed and stability of your ROMs CUSTEL...and the prolonged battery life, which is a big issue for me at the moment! I think it's time I tested one of your ROMs sir! Looking forward to v2.2...

I wonder if it may have something to do with my Flashing history... I first Flashed to Duttys beta 4. Then I flashed the Stock tilt rom. Then to your touch v 2.0 and the radio. Do you think this could cause a problem?

[decimusmaximus7]

Try flashing to a ship rom and radio combo, then upgrade your raido, then flash my rom. I have a feeling it might be because the radio was flashed after the rom.
Hey guys, anybody on 2.1, does the HTC Home and the dialer display 3G AT&T or just AT&T on this one?
I believe it was reported that it only displays AT&T.

[johanromijn]

I just tried your ROM. I was using HELMI_C's ROM first.
However I have 1 issue. My Camera is not working! I just see nothing on screen, everything is black.(Not my hand is not in front of the lens, lol)
I haven't flashed the new Radio yet, so I have no sound, but I know about that. I just wanted to try it first, without flashing the Radio ROM.
After a while, it shows an error: Unable to capture photo. Unable to get frame data from camera device.
Any ideas? This has nothing to do with the Radio ROM isn't it?

BTW: Any news about the new version with CF 3.5? I see the AT&T version is already available.
Yeah, one other thing. Your ROM seems fast but scrolling trough "Programs" seems really slow / choppy. This is with your cache-tweaks applied.
I think I solved the above small issue. Moving HTC Action to a subfolder of Programs folder really made it faster. HTC Action isn't showing an icon. Maybe it can't be found, and that makes it slow???

[cjkerr]

Hey guys, anybody on 2.1, does the HTC Home and the dialer display 3G AT&T or just AT&T on this one?

I'm on Orange UK and I get just "Orange". Am still not having the smoothest ride with Network Wizard... It didn't kick in on first boot after flashing and didn't put my voicemail number in (I know this so I did it manually)

For those having the SOD issue. I used to have it with other ROMs. I no longer have that issue since switching to CUSTEL. Like he said, it might be related to the order of updates/radio version changes.

I flashed stock HTC rom with the original radio on my tilt, then I flashed XDA live rom with the new radio, then I flashed CUSTEL. Have not had a single SOD yet.

Only thing I dislike is the default HTC rom put "Smart Mobility" on the startup screen. So now I have to research how to change that.

Why not strip the CF entirely and make it available as CAB(s)? This would dovetail with the removal of Java. After all, they're both bytecode languages and both have frequent updates.

Any thoughts?

Less issues with 4.0.31.3, you can always upgrade to 4.2 with a cab if you prefer it.

Hey Custel,
I get an error when trying to launch the touchflo settings using the latests ATT choped and screwed tilt v2.2

Hey Custel,
I get an error when trying to launch the touchflo settings using the latests ATT choped and screwed tilt v2.2
I just heard that from another source as well, it seems to be conflicting with the new .net Compact Framework. Looks as if I won't be utilizing the new .net compact framework at this time due to conflicting issues.

Sorry guys v2.1 will remain the current version as of now.

Dang it! :(

I flashed the aTT touchflo ver and all goes well but after the 2nd reset after everything comes up, I get a message that says "Data Base Error"
instead of that obnoxious "do you want to load your pics" notification - maybe thats what it can't find?

Any clue?

All seems to work fine thought but it would be nice to eliminate.

Also Custel should see about using wktask - very cool app.

Is this Rom using .Net 3.5?

re-download that version, I just issued a silent update to it, you must have grabbed it before it was uploaded :o

The rom isn't using .net 3.5

I reverted to Dutty's rom yesterday and not one SOD since. Definitely a rom related issue and surely a hard one to figure out.

When you flashed my rom did you flash the radio before or after flashing my rom?

[Sane]

Hmmmmm, probably after on both times...

If you decide to try my rom again, I would suggest trying to flash the radio then the rom.

[Sane]

Yes I read back on the thread, its impossible to read all the posts all the time.

That could make sense, the problem was so consistent compared to Hermes SOD, when i had that problem it happened once in 2 days maybe. On Kaiser every other time it went to sleep it was dead.

I probably have to try it out, aaaargh again installing all the programs.

I do find the 2.0 quicker than the 2.1 in terms of scrolling around the menu and key responses times.

I've not noticed that - to me 2.1 seems to be pretty much perfect. I gave TomTom a run out last night too, so GPS and TomTom get a big thumbs up on this ROM.

Although, in typical style, I did notice another "bug" - it looks like there are some contacts left over from the AT&T build:

Voice Connect
View My Minutes
Pay My Bill
MusicID
Directory Assistance
Check Bill Balance
*Now

It's a bit annoying as they get sync'd up to my Exchange server after each flash!

Still, I don't regret donating - this rom is the first to make my Kaiser feel like I expected it to.

AT&T Chopped & Screwed PTT v2.1 and AT&T Chopped & Screwed PTT Touch v2.1 will be up later today. Got caught up with work and wasn't able to get it done last night/this morning :o

[lewi1032]

Thank God!! Ptt....been Needing This Bigtime For Work

[urbanSpeakYanks]

Loaded the new 2.1 this morning, its very speedy and stable compared to the ship ATT ROM

Just a quick question....is there a way to get the dialer/phone to pick up the contact in your phonebook regardless of the area code being dialed?

like, I have "Home" stored 555-555-5555 but if i dial 555-5555 it doesnt show up as "Home"

So, this is my 3rd ROM I've tried with this new ROM. I am in the downtown Orlando area and I've gotten H speeds here before with other ROMs. I think the radio might have issues with H here in this area. I see that some other people have mentioned not getting an H icon when connecting. Any word or ideas on that? It only seems to happen with this new radio.

*EDIT:
I SWEAR I checked this!!!! It wasn't enabled in Kaiser Tweak. I know what happened now... I put the ROM on there, did some settings then hard reset just to make sure everything cleared out and forgot to set tweak. This is officially the first rom with the new radio that I can get H.

[Frontline]

seems so mate, i don't get H either, anoying mate.

I got it! I enabled HSPDA in Kaiser Tweak and it popped up. Keep in mind, I am using the TILT ATT version which (I assume since you are saying Mate) you don't want to be using.

Are you just not seeing the H icon or are you not receiving hsdpa speeds as well?

[johanromijn]

CUSTEL, I'm running V2.1 of your ROM at the moment. I installed CF3.5 from a CAB file, and it's running well. Any idea when your V2.2 will be ready? Will it include CF3.5?

Thanks for your hard work!

Does the rom support video calls? Last time I had it installed pressing video call button made just a normal call.

No real intentions of creating 2.2 since from what I have heard speed improvements aren't noticed on the kaiser.

No, you will have to install a different dial pad to support the video call function.

I've been looking around for the cabs for office and one note. I noticed this ROM doesn't have one note. Any idea where I can snag the cab? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Also... I was waiting to see if you were going to load the ATT 2.1 Touch and I only see the non touch on the website. There are only 5 files up in that directory, am I missing something? I see the PTT files but not the non PTT touch.

[CUSTEL]

The only reason for v2.2 was to change the .net to v3.5 so since I am no longer going to. Mainly due to the results not being as they were on other devices. There is a cab readily available for the upgrade so I don't really see a point to issuing another release for such a minor difference.

what does the PTT button do if you dont install a ptt version?

[axi0m]

It appears this ROM already has CF 2 installed. As I understand it, installing CF 3.5 will not produce a speed increase if it's an "upgrade". It just eats space since there are no 3.5 apps out yet. Can you strip out the CF completely?

AdvancedConfig reports CF 2 even after installing CF 3.5 immediately after hard reset, so I don't know that CF 3.5 is even getting installed at all.

All I want for Christmas is a completely stripped ROM with CF 3.5. ;)

i have to admit, that the 2.1 is slower than 2.0, i've been testing it alot! Not sure what it going on or changed!

My first Windows Mobile device, so please excuse my newB question.

Is it safe to upgrade my UK T-Mobile MDA Vario III radio from 1.27.12.11 to 1.27.14.09 (from AT&T?). Any UK users find any issues with this? Works well? I'd love to try this ROM, looking out for something lean that is as fast as possible.

Mate I did this on my Orange UK phone. You need to make sure you fully read all the threads on how to flash your phone, and make sure yuo have HardSPL installed (CID Unlocker from PoF). Also, I did pay for a SIM Unlock before I flashed just to be on the safe side (nto sure if this is required, but I got my phone on a contract and didn't want a dead phone for 12 months!)

I have used Radio 1.27.14.09 on my Orange phone no problems at all, and Custel's v2.1 ROM is the fastest tested ROM out there right now (testes with SPB Benchmark 1.6 this morning by myself)

[hussein.j]

Thanks cjkerr!

Gonna try this when I get home :) :)

I'm running Dutty's ROM at the moment which is v. nice, but I just feel it has a bunch of stuff that I don't need/want.

The stock T-Mobile ROM made me want to return the phone. It was lagtastic, and it just felt slow and crap. 400MHz? My ass! These hacked up roms really breathe some life into it though - I'm really grateful for them.

A few days ago I was gonna 'upgrade' to an E90... but I think I'll stick with this a bit more.

[lotw]

Wow you came out with this fast, now it looks like I will have to re-flash from the v1.0 that you did to one of these, just when I got everything setup and installed too. Thanks for all the good work. After the holidays I will send some green your way too.

Hey don't give in on the Kaiser just yet! It really is an iPhone killer for those that want a decent level of functionality... or even the basics like 3G :-)

Recommended ROMs from me would be Custel v2.1 and Dutty's No.6 TouchFlo /CF3.5 - I have tested these and others in the last 24 hours and they are both very fast. There's _Alex_'s UltraClean 1.60 ROM too, but that's incredibly stripped back and mroe designed for Cooks than users like you and I.

Also, keep your eyes open for Custel v2.2 which I think will have the new .NET Compact Framework 3.5 (aka CF3.5) which promises to be very fast and stable, with a good balance of useful tools but not packed like Dutty's and Schap's ROMs are (not putting this down, it's just not for everyone)

2.1 is outstanding! I'm not sure the time you would otherwise spend on 2.2 would result in anything all that much better.

You've offered us an incredible mix of performance, stabliity and a nice menu of extras without going overboard... At this point, I'm not sure I would want to switch to another ROM (even if it is the next in your series) unless it involves some additional improvement at the radio level.

Great job... now take a rest! :-)

Yes, it comes with CF 2. No, you can't remove it. You can install 3.5 over it, but it will not speed up your phone like it would if it were "baked in". In fact, AdvancedConfig 1.1 reports CF 2 even after installing CF 3.5. Frankly, I don't think installing 3.5 on this ROM does anything at all.

Sorry to sound so disappointing, but I had high hopes for a true CF 3.5 ROM. CUSTEL's ROM is otherwise ideal.

[Pops_G]

Is anyone have issues with Pocket RAR installed in this ROM? It locks up every time I open a compressed file now. I dont think I always had this problem. It may have gotten corrupted and I will have to re-flash :confused:

As a work around, is there any way to download a link directly to a .cab file? IE will just open .cab files in text format. I cannot save them

Edit: Another thought I just had. Does ActiveSync convert compressed files somehow? I am having issues with zip/rar files I download directly from the phone.

[hussein.j]

Sorry to sound so disappointing, but I had high hopes for a true CF 3.5 ROM. CUSTEL's ROM is otherwise ideal.

Doh, I've just also come to that conclusion too.

Oh well. I'm running Custel v2.1 now and have a few select apps installed and pretty happy with it. Its fast :)
