After 3 terrible days dealing with diferent wm6.1 roms from here, I go back to my the old and stable K's Wm6 Final.

My experience with Wm6.1 has been completly awfull. HR, screen frezzes, white screens on load, no GSM, App crashes .... Even installing previously a official WWE rom.

I know that there are people working with 6.1 without problems but in my opinion, if somebody need a sure and confiable hermes phone better to stay away from 6.1.

Regards



Pd.: Wm6.1 Roms Installed: last from PDACorner, last from PDAViet, MRH 5.7, and NiaX ESP (All same problems)

Mmmm strange. I use the CRCs V11 since it is available and waiting for the next Shaps french one. Even if my hermes is "french", all applications are working fine (TomTom, a lot of GPS apps, Basic4PPC, astronomy softwares, PocketCM, Tcpmp, etc...). Even video calls are working fine. Battery consumption is fair (no push mail) with 1.47.00.10 radio rom. Till now i did not miss a call and speed is good (obviously, more you add apps, slower is your pda)

Btw, i always "flash" roms using sdcard method. IMO, it is the only reliable way (no possible usb deconnexion, so easy, PC independent,...)

Give a try to CRC's V11. Who knows? You could find your way through 6.1 ;)

Hope this helps

I agree with you. So far try out so many ROM with WM6.1. Encounter all sort of problems like hang when making calls, network not found, auto hard reset. But only Pays WWE 3.00 Final Full this ROM I never face all this problems at all. Perhaps you might want to give a try on Pays ROM 3.00. Cheers!

Did those roms, pays and crc, have Extended rom or are Big Storage?

CRC V11 stores elements in extended rom (as far as i know). If i can suggest something: As you experienced problems with 6.1, just start first with a rom which seems stable. As a test, it is not so important to be Big Storage or not ;)

definitely no problems. Unless you want to run microsoft's live search. The only thing that doesn't go and i haven't had a chance to tweak with s2u2 yet

Don't know. It could be a personal problem...

I went back to my well known K's Rom and the problems was still there. Now I'm sure that it is related to extended rom, that from time to time and without reason get automatically erased.

I have flash a well know oficial At&T Rom, as adviced by one of the best cookers here, then install again K's Rom final, and the problem disapeared for two days, but it is here again...

Does somebody know If I can flash just a oficial Extended Rom (instead of the full oficial AT&T Rom) or format the extended Storage with some program (pocket mechanic or some other like it)?. I'm a little tired of repeating the configuration proccess...

Thanks

I have flashed again the official At&t rom, as adviced by Dr. Puthingan, and then the K's Final Rom to nothing.

The problem still there.

When I was installing an App to the Extended_Rom the intallation hangs, and after reset all the contens of Extended Rom have dissapeared.

I found only a FilesToBeDeleted folder winth garbage inside (look at screenshoot)

Hey,

I was in the same situation as you were in a couple of months ago...

I've always wanted to tinker around with WM6.1 but I too also found the Ext.Rom to be unstable...

I always found myself flashing back to the reliable Shamanix Ultimate 2.0 Final.

Finally, I tried this ROM:

And, It's been surprisingly stable and no Ext.ROM to deal with.

Again, before installation, you'll have to follow Dr. P's instructions:

Hope this helps :)

You might want to try the official dopod rom then back whichever 6.1 you want. I found mine was better after doing that.

Hopefully the problems is solved....

I reinstall the At&T, as adviced by Dr. Puttinghan, hard-spl 7, and then the Faria/Dr. Puttinghan Clean Rom.

Now, all is working without issues..
