Why flash to ROM: 1.31.707.09 (HTCAsia WEE)

[HolyOle]

Why flash? is it better than my original Norwegian flash that came right from the store? What is new in the ROM: 1.31.707.09 (HTCAsia WEE)?

[gfreek]

I flashed the HTCAsia WEE because the Orange ROM I had was too bloated for my liking, kind of ran a little slow. With this ROM I'm finding my device running a bit faster:)

[HolyOle]

Ok. But I got the regular rom, not the "orange" one. Would it be any faster or would it be totaly like, just not Norwegian language?

To be honest with you I don't know if it will be any faster, as I reckon your existing ROM maybe same as the HTCAsia WEE but language in Norwegian.

I changed my ROM because from my own personal experience every Orange UK ROM based device I ever owned have always been bloated and sluggish, I don't what S*** Orange put in their ROM that makes them run so slow!!!

Anyways, the only way to see if there is any difference, is for you to flash this ROM but make sure you make a backup of your existing ROM i.e ROM DUMP just in case you want to revert back!

P.S. Did you try the speed reg tweak? that I posted in this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355122
try it out, believe me you'll notice a big jump in performance!!! I used this tweak on my previous Orange ROM and it made a big difference!

Use the kaiser Rom Kitchen Dump, it should work although I have not tried it my self!

Alternatively if you can wait and play safe, I'm sure there will be specific Niki Rom Kitchen Dump utility available here.

Yes and after flashing the asia ROM my dual is a lot more responsive not as bloated as the Orange ROM;)

wizain you can grab the asia rom from here:http://rapidshare.com/files/75629679/RUU_Nike_HTCASIA_WWE_1.31.707.09_Radio_Nike_1.58.1 6.27_signed_Ship.exe

but before you flash this rom you need install either HardSPL or USPL look here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730

Sorry to hear that reg tweak didn't work for you!! Just curious are you using the HTC task manager? if so I would recommend you disable that as I find it slows the OS down and use a 3rd party task manager e.g. SPB Pocket Plus or WKTask you can get here: http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask.html

If you set the Cachesettings for Filesystem ... all Apps speed up!

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you on this one NetrunnerAT! yes you can do some reg tweak to improve your existing ROM however, since I flashed this ROM here's are the 3 main things that I have noticed compared to my previous Orange UK ROM:

- more responsive (little faster)
- HTC Weather panel updates automatically, in previous ROM I had to do it manually!
- WMDC Bluetooth Sync more consistent, in previous ROM it worked every now and then, got so frustrated ended up syncing with USB instead!!!

Now I'm not saying this HTCAsia WEE ROM guarantees you improvements over your existing ROM but it's no harm trying! (providing of course you've done a backup of your existing ROM) I personally think anyone with a Orange ROM should see some improvements;) in fact I was so adamant that I would see some benefits to flashing this ROM that I didn't even bother to do a backup of my bloated Orange ROM need I say more!!

[NetrunnerAT]

This answer ist possible!

I dont know, what Orange done. If some guys have unbranded ROMs ... they dont need the Asia Rom.

Good evening

I have a Orange branded touch with t9 keyboard:

Operator-Version: 25.131.5.7209
ROM-Version: 1.31.72.09
Rom-Date: 10/31/07
Radio-Version: 1.58.16.27
Protokoll-Version: 25.61.30.03H

I have bought a SanDisk HCSD 6GB and it won't recognize it as 6GB. It only shows 866MB in the task-manager. In my HTC touch (other device) it recognizes it well.

Can this problem be resolved by updating the Rom to the 10.31.707.09 WEE?

Thanks for your appreciated help!

Hi there... how do I disable the htc task manager? Just got my touch dual via TMobile UK not long ago... seems a bit disappointing... with the reaction times between me pushing a button or touching the screen, and the device recognising what i did.

Pretty sure my magician was much more responsive.

[dr_demento]

I was using the Orange UK ROM on my Niki, got sick to death of the branding (not to mention the lack of Messenger) so I installed the HTC Asia ROM.

If there is an increase in speed, it's not very significant (unless it mostly shows up in Office or other complex apps). Contacts still take half a second or so to load, etc.

Installing was very easy, fast, no problems; all the sickening Orange icons / dialler / homepage / start screen are replaced with HTC ones, and you get a voice command app instead of just a voice dialler. First time you put the SIM card in it automatically gets the settings for text messages, Internet and that lot, too.

In general: excellent idea, thoroughly recommend, not necessarily any speed increase though.

oh,i am in three color!

shit hapens!

ok you havent read the threads carefully! you stuck in the bootloader mod, after you try to flash a rom on a CID locked device! you need minimum hardspl installed on your phone, to try some roms!

so ... to get out from 3 color screen ... download MTTY ... connect via USB ... use command "boot"

I flashed this baby on my T-Mobile MDA Touch Plus today. Works like a charm. Ooh and battery time is insain compared to the original T-mobile rom. Even with full usage of GPRS I have 38-42hrs.
