Hi,
All the "official" versions does not seem to really official ones there are too many bugs that remind of a cooked ROM

ahah, you think that this ROM it's a fake?! how can you say this?
well, when I flash that rom, unmodded, My startbutton and my screen is messed up, just like in several builds that both I and others has ported. This goes for polaris, herald and kaiser.
If I replace certain files in sys with ones from original wm6.0 rom (polaris), that problem goes away. Same if I make a rom for Kaiser..I take this file from the official build and replace in the ported one, the problem go away.
This issue is well known with newer ports. I really doubt HTC would release a such obvious flaw (But then again..I would not be surprised either)
I might be wrong in beliving its a fake, but I really dont belive its the final product. I dont know what source you get the rom from, and I can "eat my words" if im wrong.
I wanna add that I dont question your honesty UDK, not at all. Cause I have had my share of supply of official builds, that has turned up to be fake.
udk and itje
Gosh, if Norway and Switzerland work together, then a bomb will come out of it.
Not your opinion?
LOL
@itje: Unfortunately, this is the final release and yes, does not works well, it's run very slow and there are some lag.. the ITA version is much slower than the WWE version, but I repeat, these ROM are not fake, there is also a RUS, GER and SPA version with the same core and OEM, are all fake? I think no

hello,
Can we have a French one PLZ
Where do you find this ROM ? Have you special access on HTC club ? have you a friend who works for an operator or HTC?
If you think it is a fake rom, why not go to the HTC site and see if an official rom is available... I would do this however I have an O2 Orbit not official HTC cruise!

Both you and me can make multilanguage based on same core and OEM.
Slow and lag..all official roms I have seen has slowness and lagging.. So I didnt base my doubts on that.
Its more the booting issues that makes me wonder. But hey, I am man enough to say I was wrong, so im not gonna sit here and go on fight for something that I cant prove.
Either its this or that, we'll just see when the official hits the support pages at HTC, if it has the same issue, then we know if its the final official build or not that is here with us now

I don't think they are fake, since they are signed and flashable without HardSPL. But if they are the final release or some test/preview we don't know until they are posted on the web.
They have been available for some time already, if they indeed are the final build, why are they still not put on htc.com?
Perhaps they are going to re-package udK's Syrius or Itjes latest and release those instead.The Polaris user group would be much happier then
Spanish ROM
I´ve installed the spanish rom and if I use the original SPL it gets changed by a new one with version POLA100/3.130000/CPLD-2.
I´ve never seen that on a cooked rom.
Hi,
in my opinion, this is the first and last update from HTC for POLARIS

Agree totally with you. A device such as ours last for a year. Why do you want HTC people to devote time on present and past devices ? They have already announced new generations to come within the next few months.
Still, I think my Polaris will still be useful until such time a much much better PDA comes to light.
Besides, take away XDA-developers and some other sites, do you think the manufacturers will have more creative minds? No sir, people like you and other
guys alike itje and udk are their main contributors for good ideas. Our forums are read daily by all manufacturers.
Keep it up

Yes... with 6.1, the Polaris just becomes a more stable version of itself, with some enhancements -- more of what it should've been upon release. Will definitely hold us over until WM7, at which point it'll be a good time to get a newer device

I think the reason they don't post it on the web is because not all languages are ready yet. When they post it every language should be available or there will be another problem, right ?
For now I'm using wwe (waiting for portuguese) and it works flawlessly. Ok, I don't have manilla but all radio function work, I've got voip working, I can use wmplayer with htc home (so my calls don't get everything malfunctioning while using bluetooth), and I got portuguese keyboard working (registry tweak needed). So I think it's probably the real deal. And let's face it if they released a upgrade with manilla would you buy the new touch for 600€ while you can get a polaris for 400€ nowadays? So we will be stucked with a stripped version of wm6.1 or if you look on the bright side at least is wm6.1 and stable.
Here is the TIME for Official WM6.1 on htc.com ???
I think the TIME is coming NOW !!! Because the link now not available, but only the Cruise Software site !!! I hope sooooo

Bit early yet isn't it? The rumour I just found here (http://wmexperts.com/articles/rumors/windows_mobile_61_coming_with.html) claims that Microsoft will announce it this month with devices shipping in May so my guess would be some time after May. HTC did release a WM6 update for the Artemis so at least they have a history of releasing in-the-field upgrades.
Does anyone have any idea how long after the official Microsoft release of WM6 was the HTC release of WM6 for the Artemis? This would give us some idea of how long it takes HTC to get one of these field upgrades out.

Will a cooked ROM with 6.1 be possible before an official HTC release? Does the cooking process require an official ROM image (for both technical and legal reasons?) as one of its raw ingredients?

Truth friend Julian? I think it is not so much so.
I am not talking about a Rom official, of course.
Look at the Artemis.
I'm sure Polaris Project team will release WM6.1 for Polaris as soon...

HTC released the Artemis WM6 upgrade in june for the asian market. European update came in october for some unknown reason and was a lot worse than the asian WM6 release. The australian ROM I used for some time with my P3300 had GPS Photo enabled, the european ROM had this feature disabled.
Note that WM 6.1 is not a major OS update so it won't take that long IMO. Not that WM6 was such a major upgrade

OK. I'm glad to be wrong. WM6.1 still isn't officially released by Microsoft though is it so are these based on a beta build of 6.1?
Some reports I saw quoted WM6.1 as being a worthwhile speed improvement over WM6. The page I saw was auto-translated from some other language but if I understood it correctly then I think they were talking about the soft reset time, in any event it was something that took 50 seconds on their device with WM6 was only taking 30 seconds on WM6.1.
Is there any feedback coming in from Kaiser users about speedup with WM6.1?
- Julian
As you can read on MS website
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6-1/default.mspx
Today microsoft has launched Windows mobile 6.1
i also read this news on an italian portal (pockepcitalia) but theu say that HTC will release the update only for the TYTN II....
but why?
So the best feature IMO the sliding panel, is missing from the touch screen version of WM 6.1 nice
Well that link is for smartphone anyways,
but yes, pda 6.1 isn't that much of an upgrade, while smartphone version is.
that's my opinion, too
WM6.1 on PDAs is not more than a facelift.

You may be right on this. I also realized, that WM6.1 seems to have
optimized kernel and so be faster in response. So i confirm, that WM6.1
also in my opinion is "better" than WM6.0. My former statement of the
facelift was regarding to the optical appearance of WM6.1 on PDA devices
in comparison to the optical improvements of the Smartphone version.
Hope that made it clear
Olioaglio
As you can see there aren't that many updates from 6.0 to 6.1. But everything can run faster and better. (Hope so)

@Olioaglio - you are spot on with what you say. Perhaps there are many more Hermes and Wizards in use so a bigger user base and therefore more developers? I can think of at least 4 or 5 busy Hermes cooks, so I guess like everything else the greater the interest the more innovation. I still can't believe that my Hermes is actually more responsive than my Polaris, even with less RAM and a slower processor. Although I use my Polaris for everyday use, the Hermes is great fun to play with, especially with all the 6.5 roms available.
chavonbravo and c_shekhar have been quiet for a while, as have the PDAVIET boys. Wonder what they are working on at the moment? bet it's something good, especially chavonbravo, who's 3LIT3 VI rom is the best I've ever used.

Hi
Just visited HTC site to see if they have put the O2 branded ROM update up yet and the 1.48 ROM that was there yesterday seems to have gone?? Here's hoping they are re-uploading it to apply to ALL HD2s !
Hmmm I just checked and yeah it doesn't exist anymore... maybe they pulled it and because 1.61 is maybe coming out very soon?
Worldwide it does not appear if you go to the UK site it is still there.... silly me!!

1.48 was total bogus afaik, and im thinking htc realized that too now, seeing how they without-a-doubt will know that roughlly half the hd2 users from this forum already run 1.61, since it DOESNT HAVE BROKEN CORE FUNCTIONALITYS, like one would expect from a hightech phone.
1.48 is Gone from htc site over here aswell, i srsly hope there will be a official worldwide 1.61 soon

No mate - the release date is rubbish. I think they should be a bit more careful about their release dates, as that's more like the date that it was "leaked", but not "officially" available on their site. (Lots of " when I talk about HTC "release" process )
Incidentally, it's still available in the UK. It doesn't make sense!

They never removed it from the site... and it was never in the support list... On my side, I've got the official link from xda... Hopefully, some poeples here read the (boring) official announcments
I think they've removed it because it doesn't have a so much good overall performance/number of bugs/usability improvements.
Anyway, the 2.01 ROM is a whole new story.
Im sorry if this question is stupid, but I just can't find the answer.
The 1.61 WWE version has been out for quite a while now, however do anyone know when the german, danish, norwegian etc 1.61 ROMS gets officially released?

Maybe it's not comming in Denmark. HTC has a strange policy in releasing firmwares, some comes out worldwide others just locale. Since there is already a 2.01 in play as well I don't think we will get that 1.61 as a HTC release.
It certainly would be rather nice with a new danish ROM update for our HD2... I can't believe the treatment HTC are giving their costumers.. 4 hotfixes! Nuff said: Bring on an update... NOW!

I agree, but having followed the HTC Hero and Magic users in danish forums I am not setting my hopes up. Besides there are some really nice cooked roms here now that are certainly performing better than the 1.48 we get in Denmark. I don't mind the language being english since I already use english on my computer.
True true... One problem though, with the current cooked ROMS, is the stability... I'm using my HD2 for phonecalls, messaging, email etc. in relation to my work. Therefore I simply need a ROM I can trust. I'm not saying that the cooked ROMS wont get there, is KNOW they will ... But for now i'm more comfortable with a good'old stock ROM .... (Though I proberly will give some ENERGY to my HD2 when the time comes )
I don't mind the phone being in english either... The only problem is XT9... I know u can tweak the registry to have danish XT9 in WWE ROMS... The only problem is that it requires some WinMO expertise... I don't have that yet
If somebody made some .CAB solutions to easy "multilanguage XT9 selection" in WWE ROMS, it sure would make things a lot easier for ordinary people, and people with very little time
