Bit of a big problem with this ROM for me. I've hard reset twice to try to resolve it. Any attempt to sync with my exchange service calendar results in 'A problem has occurred with repllog.exe'. First time I've had this with any ROM (and I've used many). Email works fine. Anybody else have this issue?

Not from HTC (as yet), but in the next couple of days the file 'RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe' that you can find here will also become available via official channels!

The update is for HTC TyTN II devices, and will be followed later by a AT&T branded update. The update adds Windows Mobile 6.1 with improvements such as the 'Getting Started' wizard, Threaded SMS and general performance and battery life updates, as well as HTC's 'video performance' update. So what's it like? Performance IS improved, however with no real video acceleration, don't get your hopes up TOO much! Thanks to tweaks in 6.1 in general plus HTC's optimisations, the device DOES feel a lot slicker in use, although if you are coming from a 'cooked' ROM you have probably seen the speed improvement already. If you are still on the standard 6.0 ROM, you NEED to install this :D

I've included some screenshots and version information below... enjoy :D


This was published on xda-developers yesterday, tried it, not amazing, and has a bug: In landscape mode text in menus and some programs is not drawn if you have cleartype enabled. The radio included (1.65.16.25) is very good though, I'm using it with another ROM.
Also, HTC home, camera and other utilities have not been updated to latest versions, and Skype does not work.
Switchin from portrait to landscape takes 2 seconds (0.5 seconds in my current ROM)

If that's all they can came with, there are better ROMs out there, including the official one 3.02 with 1.58.26.20 radio.

So where's the official link? I've seen many 'official' roms that were nothing of the sort ;)
Maybe if you had some sort of official provenance? Somone inside HTC leaked it? Or did you get it from XDA-devs like everyone else?
And until they say so in a press /offical download release etc it's still a custom rom hosted on modaco, no?.... rolleyes.gif

I seem to remember people getting told of for linking directly to imate's FTP not too long ago....and they WERE official!

Does anyone have a link to an idiots guide to obtaining/using HardSPL? It's been a fair while since I did ROM flashes and my mind is blank.

(I'm assuming I need to run HardSPL to flash a Vario III with this)

Has anyone had any issues with any apps after flashing to the new ROM? My biggest issue is that I've been using the Kaiser Tweaks App and compared to some of the other HTC ODM phones from Verizon or Sprint my TYTN II hauls ar$e! lol

When I flashed my I-Mate Jam years ago with a new ROM some of the apps didn't want to work correctly and I don't want the same thing to happen to my TYTN II. Especially since I'd have no idea where to get a new version of the original ROM. tongue.gif I'm a noob. lol


--------------------
For phones: HTC TYTN II, T-mobile Dash, I-Mate Jam, Mitac Mio 8390, Motorola A630, Nokia N-gage, Nokia N-gage QD, Motorola C331g.

For the car: Air suspension, ICE, I/H/E setup, more to come later. . .

Now only if I could afford modifying my car and my mobile phone addiction. . .ha ha ha

All went well on my UK Vodafone V1615 after HardSPL and all programs seem OK (that I've tested thus far). It seems a little nippier, but that may jsut be due to being clean.
Quick question - does this ROM roll up the HTC Camera Fix or should I still install it?

It has the camera fix installed, but camera is 4.08 not the latest 5.04
Try to switch from portrait to landscape
And try to enable Cleartype on landscape
These things worked better on previous HTC ROMs.

I'm holding out for the official release of this on the HTC site - I find it a bit dubious that this has already been knocking around on XDA Devs for a couple of days, and the response both there and here seems a little mixed. If it is the final release then so be it, I'll probably upgrade anyway, but I think it's worth waiting a few days to find out.

They are one and the same. There WILL be no hardware driver, only performance improvements through software optimisations (= this).

I'm the one that made the analysis of the Netherlands release of another rom that does have some 2D acceleration in it.

It's up in the air how much of OS/directdraw uses this hardware access as it's a lot less than what I've seen in the LG KS20. It's interesting they took efforts to HIDE that they are using any ATI code including embedding selections of ahi2dati.dll directly into DDI.dll.

It's all very odd, how the NLD version is different and all that!

Not as it is posted here, but a lot of it has been ported & will work on the 6800. There are a few versions out there.

Just got a look at the ddi.dll of your WWE rom. It's virtually identical to the NLD ddi.dll.

The only 'significant' difference is 3.28(WWE) vs 3.29(NLD).
