WARNING: This is a release of Windows Mobile 6.5.3. Due to changes to os code, SOME older programs WILL NOT WORK. By this, I mean that an older program may execute as normal, but some of the menu options might not work due to the start button being moved to the bottom of the screen instead of the top like it was with WM6.5 and older. As far as I know, this is an os thing, so I CANNOT change this.
Here's another summer rom release for WM6.5. This one is my 1st release of WM6.5.3. Due to comments recieved from my previous WM6.5 rom release thread, I have done testing of bluetooth and I can say yes, it does work. For those of you waiting on the next release of WM6.1, I will officially say that I will not release it until I figure out how to flash international roms (as this will be my 1st international release). If someone knows how to do this (for example, English is the default language for roms, but you want to flash a German rom), PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. This is the only thing hanging up the release.
Thanks to Makuu (for helping to get me started), Lenny, AstainHellbring (thank you for all the nightly help sessions), the creators of the tools I used to make this rom, and anyone else that I failed to mention in name who gave me the knowledge to complete this rom.

download: http://www.easy-share.com/1910836072/Asus_A6x6_WM653_3.rar
At this time, this will be the only download link. Mirrors will be created in the future (after I give permission).
Instructions (I have included a txt file with same instructions for offline convenience)
Before you do anything, make sure you have at least a 256mb SD card and a card reader (you can get one at a place like Radio Shack or Office Depot). You also need to install winrar (found at http://www.win-rar.com/download.html). Your SD card must be formatted with the FAT16 file system.
To format your SD Card with the FAT16 file system
Step 1: To do this insert the SD Card into the reader and go to "My Computer".
Step 1a: BACKUP YOUR FILES before you start!!
Step 2: Right-click the drive letter of the SD Card reader (differs for each computer, probably either E:\ or F:\ or G:\) and click "Format".
Step 2a: Don't worry about any of the options except for file system, choose "FAT"
Step 3: Click "Start" and wait until it is done
Step 1: Get (OS) rom image
Step 2: Extract files to any folder on hard drive using Winrar
Step 3: Go to the folder where you extracted the files in the RAR archive
Step 4: Make sure that the filename is "CANNES_A_WM6.img"
Step 4a: if the img file it's not exactly "CANNES_A_WM6.img", rename it to that
Step 5: Format the SD card if you haven't already done so using the instructions above
Step 6: Copy the img file to the SD card, see step 6a
Step 6a: Make sure that the img file is the ONLY file on the SD card after formatting
Step 7: Take SD Card out of SD Card reader and put it in the a6x6
Step 8: Make sure that the a6x6 is plugged in via ac adapter before doing the next few steps
Step 9: activate SD Loader using the following instructions {
Step 9a: Hold down the power button and enter button (that's the button in the center of the d-pad)
Step 9b: Double tap the soft reset button while holding the other 2 buttons
Step 9c: After double tapping the soft reset button, keep the other 2 buttons held until a blue screen comes up that says something like Asus Cannes flashing utility
Step 9d: Wait until the process is finished (it's near the end when it says "writing private")
}
Step 10: At this point, your a6x6 should reboot on its own
Step 11: enjoy your updated rom
If you have any questions, feel free to just post or PM me.
As I release new roms, if you have a support question, please give me the rom version so I know what rom you are working with. You can get the rom version from the filename of the rom pack.
Example: Asus_A626_WM614_1
A626 = device (most often it will be A626, will rarely be different), WM614 = os version, 1 = release #

you sir Steven855, are just plain awesome. thank you I will try this one the next days.
Steven - thanks for the new version. Flashed and everything seems to be working so far without issue. I've reconfigured my SDIO barcode reader and all software and things appear to be working. I'm going to do some testing with the device going into and out of blank screen with AC power connected and disconnected. I'll report back with any problems. Thanks again!
For those of you who do run some old programs (like me), I will be coming out with a updated WM6.5 rom (which has the old configuration of start menu on top instead of bottom like this version).

Works on my A696, although I have problems connecting the WiFi to my Sitemcom AP (which can do B+G+N) and uses WPA2-PSK(AES), a WPA-PSK 11b seems to work.
Before you do anything, make sure you have at least a 256mb SD card

And make sure you do not use a SDHC, although it works later on the flash process can't use it.
Tanks for the ROM!
Thanks for the 6.5.3 ROM !
I think this is almost a perfect ROM, no battery drains, no wakeup problems, bluetooth is working fine. The only bug what I observed is the task manager problem (not runing the task manager if wireless is not enabled in today).
Thanks again, great work.
This ROM is very good indeed but do you know how to disable the Windows Media "A SD CARD WAS DETECTED, WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY" Message when I pop in the SD? Thanks.
Can somebody point me out to a A639 6.5 ROM ? thanks

Sorry, I do not know a permanent solution (although I have seen it before). I can only offer the suggestion of making sure Windows Media Player mobile is not running (if it is running, you can kill it with the task manager) when you insert the SD card.
I'm curious; How many people like this rom's graphical interface better than the one that WM6.5 and previous versions of Windows Mobile used? Also, what programs have people using my roms come accross that work with previous versions of Windows Mobile, but don't exactly work with the new interface that comes with WM6.5.3 (and later versions)? I'm trying to compile a list of older programs for Windows Mobile that don't exactly work with the new graphical interface.
Last thing, has anyone encountered any problems with Bluetooth? I had gotten some complaints about bluetooth issues with the last WM6.5 rom that I put out, and I would like to know if those problems got fixed.
I like more the 6.5 interface, but I can exist with the new 6.5.3 too. The only program what I use and is not 100% compatible with the new 6.5.3 interface is the totalcommander for pocketpc. Any other programs what I use, can accomodate with the new interface.
My problem with this ROMs are only relative with the iGO navigation, which are using more and more memory from one versions to another, and the ROMS are using more memory then the Asus 6.0. But I observed, that if I softreset my A696 before using the navigation, the navigation working fine without any memory problems.
Is it possible to change the language of this rom? I need Polish.
I've tried to use AsusWM6Patch but no luck (Actual language: Unknown).
Maybe some HEX hack?
BTW: Great work Steven855. Thanks.

There's no easy way to change the language of a rom. You have to take an existing rom, extract its contents, change what you need, and then package it up again so it (fits and) can be successfully flashed. If someone is willing to tell me how to flash a rom with a language different than the default language, PLEASE TELL ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The big thing right now with all the international roms is trying to flash them so I can test them. Once this is (finally) solved, I can continue working on the international releases. I would try AsuWM6Patch, but it seems to be geared towards flashing with the supplied program and not the SD flasher method that I have been using to test my roms.

Well I don't understand why you say it's so complicated. My friend bought Asus A696. But that was WWE version (Windows Mobile 6 Classic). I've dump rom from my A696 (POL version) a then reflashed his PDA. So it's possible and quite easy.
Here you can read more about it (google translator version).

One more thing. You can use modified version of Upgrade Tool. Now it's easy to upgrade even if the rom file is older then the orginal or in different language.

Thank you for the resources. I will definitely look into the second entry. As for the 1st version with usbloader, I run Windows 7 and have tried the usbloader method, but it never works for me. I haven't been using the Upgrade tool because I'm afraid of permanently bricking my A626 (I bricked it once before, and getting it fixed was a pain) and I know that the SD flasher method works with no problems (as long as the power is on; never try to flash roms during a thunderstorm). By the way, where did you find the modified upgrade tool anyway?
i have been following your roms for a6x6, and i would like to thanks you for making them.
just one comment, i hope you finish or solve first the bugs in your previous versions before making a new one.

I have installed the 6.5.3 ROM on my Asus MyPal A696. So far no problems. My PDA has come back to life.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the great work! Keep it up!
Tip: Sprite Backup works on migration from Windows 6.1. ROM, including the installed programs.

Thank you very much!
see you again, alechy,
Hi. Complete noob here. I have never flashed a phone before and have a few questions. The attached .zip only contains the " WMIPL.dip " file and the rapidshare link for the G4 .rar file is not working. Do I need the other file " WMUPDAT.dip " to upgrade? Is it the same file as the G3 one? Also, has anyone tried this yet? I use my SPL as my main phone and don't want to brick it.

The zip file contains LED info from the kitchen posted above. I created the attached cab file using the zip which works on my spl. You will need to app unlock first. Test at your own risk.
Just found the reg values for WMP & IE keys. The WMP & IE keys are much more responsive using the reg fix over AE Button Plus. Worked for mine but use at your own risk.
THANKS!!!

Let us hope alechy finds some time to do this for us.

The attached .zip only contains the " WMIPL.dip " file and the rapidshare link for the G4 .rar file is not working. Do I need the other file " WMUPDAT.dip " to upgrade? Is it the same file as the G3 one? Also, has anyone tried this yet? I use my SPL as my main phone and don't want to brick it.

Two methods:

2) Boot screen is different for G3 and G4, search around spl.modaco.com for screen shots.
Hi everyone, I just got my first smartphone, an AT&T Tilt (HTC 8925) a couple of days ago. I'm happy with it except that I wish it to display Chinese when browsing webpages. I don't need the interface to be Chinese, nor do I need to input Chinese. I just wish when I visit a Chinese website, I'm not seeing blocks.
Don't know if this makes a difference, but either traditional or simplified Chinese would work (I read both).
Searching the whole forum didn't give me much. Probably people had some discussions before, just I didn't find them yet.
I'm totally new on smartphones. Any help is very much appreciated.
info on the phone:
ROM version: 3.57.502.2 WWE (since shipped I didn't flash the ROM)
ROM date: 07/17/08
Radio version: 1.65.21.18
Protocol version: 25.88.40.05H
I just flashed the SPL to Kaiser-HardSPL-3.56 following instructions. BTW, which version should I use, 3.56 or 3.29/28?
I did not flash the ROM, b/c I'd like to find out more on Chinese language support.
Install this cab and it will perfectly display Chinese. It is suitable for almost any WM5,6,6.1 rom :http://www.51spsoft.com/DownInfoEn/info26059.html

Be sure to backup your device before you try. I am not responsible for any data lost. Your might need a hard reset if it failed... But it is the cab that I have been using for English roms for many devices and it will likely work for you too
you shoud find a chinese font file'ttf',and repair reg
try this websit
www.ioicn.com.cn
well.. this is what i use only...

3. Many font + wince.nls + registry mentioned above.
4. My rom (see signature below)
Thank you very much.
I'm now downloading and trying the ways you pointed out.

Thank you for the suggestion. I just installed it on my official ATT ROM (WM 6.1). It showed installation successfull. It also said it may not display properly b/c it's designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile.
Anyway, then I visited mitbbs.com and www.sina.com.cn as a test (using Internet Explorer). Both did not show Chinese. I also tried changing encoding to Unicode UTF-8 and it didn't work either. under system settings, I looked at regional settings and didn't find anything Chinese.
Is there any configuration that needs to be done? Do you happen to know what ROM floating in this forum for WM6.1 can indeed incorporate this O2 Chinese support?
Thanks again

For regional setting, check the size of your wince.nls make sure it's > 1mb in size (typical English only is only 300 - 400k in size). But if you already planning to change yr rom, I highly recommand your try my rom. It's pre-configure for Tradition Chinese (HK, mostly), but will work on simplified chinese as well.

ROM date: 07/17/08
Radio version: 1.65.21.18
Protocol version: 25.88.40.05H

Wiki is your good friend here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserIntroductionToROM_Flashing
Hi Jack:
I had already unlock the ATT tilt using unlock code ...Do I still need to run step one below?
1. CID-unlock your device by following the instructions at pof's HTC Kaiser Hard-SPL v1 - CID Unlock & Flash any ROM to your device (4 free)-thread
BTW, I did get the "white screen" on this phone ... and follow the instructions to :
- 1a. download the 5 attached files
1b. pull out the battery, REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !! and reinsert battery (this step *is* important)
1c. connect your PC to phone with a USB cable
2. copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your device and run it (make sure the USB cable is still connected). If you still get a white screen then reset your device and now try JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe ...
The step (2) above , copy the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to the device ...Pls advise which folder and how to run it after taking the SIM OUT ?
Thx
White Screen Issue
Hi Jack:
JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your device and run it (make sure the USB cable is still connected). If you still get a white screen then reset your device and now try JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe ...
Are these JumpSPL1.56 or JumpSPL1.93 run from PC or the terminal device itself ? How do I run these two ".exe" files in the device ?
Why am I getting White Screen and others devices dont get white screen ?
Thx

Anywhere. I would copy it to the top level (\). Even if you took your sim out, you can close the phone page (which complaints about sim) by tapping the top right corner or the hardware red button (hang up). Then use "File Explorer", locate the exe files that you copied and click on it.
Hi Jack,
I am new to the Tilt. How do I get to "File Explorer" ? I dont see it on the menu when I open either the "setting" or "programs" ?
BTW, when I run the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe, do I also need to run the Kaiser Hard-SPL v1 again ? what's the right sequence ?
Thx
RESET
Hi Jack:
Is the rest pwer+camera+ "navigation" at the same time to get Tri-colour ?
if NOT, which three at the same time can "reset" ?
Thx
Since I posted a thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=675311 and nobody could help me. I spent the past 5 days trying to get it to work and did it successfully (through haret).
Here's how to did it:
1. Download this .RAR I put together that includes:
-Eclair
-haret
-default.txt
2. Edit the "mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480" part of the "default.txt" to your needs. (either 320/480 or 240/320)
3. Put the content of the folder "android-orbit2-eclair" to the root of your SD card so it should be something like this:
Code:
-(D:) SD Card [COLOR="Red"](root)[/COLOR]
--conf
--media
--default.txt
--haret.exe
--initrd.gz
--rootfs.img
--system.sqsh
--zImage
4. Navigate to the SD Card (start>programs>file explorer>storage card) and click on the "haret.exe"
5. Once that has loaded up click "run" (about 3 lines down on right side)
6. Just wait, Give it chance to do its thing and simple... Android running on your XDA orbit 2.
any problems, reply to this thread and I will try to fix.
Thanks, James

If you read the title it says for XDA orbit 2 not touch cruise.
Have you managed to get gprs/3g working with this? I can't seem to get mobile web working on my XDA Orbit II
I dont know whart u are doing here.
But i can use myns donut and eclair totally easy without modding something.
I just have to use the right "default.txt"...
Most packages you find here habe a "default-polaris.txt" in it or you use the one form myn ... It works great for the orbit 2 too
.....
But maby i dont get what you are doing here.. some special build or something?
BUt running android on orbit 2 is net a problem at all just use right conf.
-----------------------
@moondemon
Wifi works with myns eclair and donut. There are fixes (androidupdate.tar) you have to use (nomorootfs)
could u tell me which version have u installed? 1.6?
I succeeded installing the 1.6 version. but when I was trying installing the latest version, I was stucked at the screen which requires me to long-push the dpad center button. I did it but didnt work. I've even tried every keys, still didnt work.
could u give me a hand on it?
I have tried myn's and default-polaris does not work on my xda orbit 2. Also when I do get haret to run I have had trouble actually getting android to boot due to a continual "power wakeup" message. The default-polaris results in a flashing white screen for me. This config is the only config that actually works on my orbit 2.
Hello, i am just a newbie on Android for Polaris, so plz forgive me dump postings At the moment i am a bit spacy what i have to put together to work Android on my XDA2.
android-orbit2-eclair works on my XDA2 after installing but:
phone can't do outgoing calls:
3G can`t connect,
Cam/Gallery crashes
Wifi works.
Touchscreen works and all the rest.
before i installed the recent builds of froyo and eclair
System shows 10-15 min nice boot flash, then it works, but touch screen doesn`t work.
Anyway all the developers doing a great job here!

Im not using sd haret anymore. If you try with nand flash (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636024) everything works like a charm.
But as i used haret on my Orbit2 i was good with the package myn offered in her donut(or eclair im not sure).
In the package were a default.txt and a one for polaris/Orbit. I changed the polaris one to default (renaming) and it worked.
I think it was the donut package and it worked with zimages for eclair too.
Try this package if it works its worth a attemp to look into the default txt for other builds.
But atm i would suggest to give android at flash a try. Its almost perfekt for daily use if you not to much with some special programms on winmo.
As far as i read there are problems with haret atm gernerally that programms close even if install is fine.
Seems that flashing is the solution to all my problems, but
can you try to explain what makes the difference between haret and a NAND flash install relatet to the runing system?
Unfortunaley my XDA Obit2 is the carrier of my beloved navigation software. The other Wimo apps are junk compared with android. If there is a offline solution for Car Navigation on android, i could kick Wimo into the trash bin. Also i am a Linux user as well on my PC

I stuck these sections of
I've tried it and it seems it works, but I have a few questions and one major problem:
1. I installed the systems without the SIM card. When I started it again with SIM card, system says that the PIN I type is wrong altough I know that it's correct. How to solve it? Maybe it is so because I'm not O2 customer?
2. Is it possible to boot Android automatically without flashing NAND?
3. Can I theoretically Install Donut or Froyo using this method simply by putting different Zimage in the folder?
4. Do I have to perform another installation in case of buying a battery of more capacity? I saw that default.txt contains information about the battery.
5. May it work well If I change default.txt to the one prepared by atools?
Thanks for advance and greetings.

hello, which rom is the best for o2 xda orbit 2 pola 200?
For some reason I can't get my Polaris to run the latest Android version (i.e. Froyo).
1. Downloaded latest kernel (polaimg-panel3-320-froyo-07-07-10.nbh)
2. Downloaded last build (Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS10)
3. Put last build (.tar or .tgz file) on SD card in directory /andboot
4. Flashed by using NBH file together with RUU Update Utility
Now it gets tricky:
a) or the system reboots, vibrates twice, I see a red and blue line and then a black screen and nothing;
b) or the system reboots, I get the Android installation menu after pressing middle button, install, but after soft reset I get a "No such file found" kind of system error
Can someone help me getting Android on my old Polaris? Thanks!

Thanks! Got it working with the older NBH file. Not completely flawless, but it works!
Don't use the old polaris panel 1 nbh, instead download the latest and then use this utility to change it to panel 1.

Hey, Could anybody unswer me on two questions.
1. why we have to change from panel3 to panel1 in this nbh file?
2. what is that mean panel3 or 1? why DZO do this type of the nbh (with panel3 i mean)?

The panel type depends on revision of your polaris, more specifically the make of the lcd panel, see here. I just tried every panel until I found one that works, I use panel 1.
Thanks a lot, but could you please answer me again. How i will know what kind of LCD panel in my Polaris and which number i should use?
these parameters is placed in my start-up file for the haret launcher
#alloctest 0x2000
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1723
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz

boot
can i use panel type from here?
i have opened this polaimg-panel3-320-froyo-07-07-10.nbh file in NBH editor and saw that the HW3D is set in Eclair. Should i change this to Froyo or left as is?
Thanks a lot for the conception)))

Did I brick my Polaris?
Well, it makes me laugh looking at the last post dated back July 2010 but I decide to post anyway because I feel somebody might have passed through my problems and might help.
Following indications on this forum:
1. I downloaded:
- Kernel: polaimg-panel3-240x320-2.6.32-froyo-09-09-10_21.nbh
- Last build: Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS16 All Languages
2. Put last build (androidinstall.tgz) on SD card in directory /andboot
3. Used RUU Update Utility to flash the nbh file
Everything when smoothly. When it reboots, it vibrates, "Smart Mobility" message shows up, vibrates twice and then a blank screen is displayed.
Going through this forum I think I might have used the wrong type of panel and should have used Panel 1 instead of 3. So I downloaded Windows NBH Editor and managed to change the nbh into Panel 1. Then I shall try again.
This time my Windows 7 is unable to recognize my Polaris and all it can see is a new Disk Drive with no ADB device displayed. So I installed PdaNet302.exe to implement the USB driver for HTC Android Phone but it still cannot see my device and the process aborted.
What worries me is that one step of the process requested to change a setting on the Polaris (On your phone, click Settings > Applications > Development and make sure USB Debugging is on.). Obviously I can't do that as the screen is completely white!
I believe if I can manage to have my PC talking with my device then the problem will be fixed with the panel1-based flash. But every attempt to install the USB driver for Android Phone regularly fails on my PC.
All that time the Polaris remains with the lighted blank screen and there is no way to turn it off as the on/off switch refuses to work.
Shall I buy a new phone? Thanks for your help.
Did you try flashing the phone with a regular oficial HTC rom? just try it. Put the phone in the boot mode (press camera button and another one, dont recall which one) It will change to the tri color screen. Then connect it and try it.
Also there is a modified nbh rom which includes nothing, just the tool to recover your rom. Do a search to the forum.
I recently tried to install on my Polaris and it went really wrong. And finally could recover. The file is called ROMUpdateUtility_task29. I will erase everything on the phone but later you will be able to recover it
Form that point no more experiments. Polaris was made to work with Windows Mobile. It's really unstable, video camera is useless. And so on.
PC Carvalhon rom and I can use my phone as I want.
regards.

A second life for my Polaris
Kafkacell,
1. Following your suggestions, I successfully started the bootloader (camera touch while reset), the 3-colour screen appeared, Windows 7 recognised the device. I then flashed the offcicial RUU_Polaris_HKCSL_WWE_3.19.831.3_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship and everything successfully completed. With enormous pleasure I see again my Polaris back to activity. Thanks for giving my Polaris a second life.
2. Back to Feb 2009, I flashed a pcarvalho eXtreme ROM. I don't recall any longer the version of this ROM but it was very stable and never ever crashed. Recently I downloaded and flashed most recent ROMs. From that moment on, I have no peace. It crashed 2, 3 times a week. Now I wish I could go back to the old version but couldn't find it. Perhaps pcarvalho removed them to save space? May I ask you which pcarvalho eXtreme ROM version do you currently run. Thanks.
Im currently running 29022 version (latest update from PCCarvalho).
Notes:
UPDATE:
29022 is up
this is a fix release...sound issues should be gone...had to remove htc volume control is it still has issues...fixes minor gfx glitches...updated to lastest and probably final leak version of wm6.5.3 (29022)...will from now on work on unresolved issues and finalize rom...this will still take some time due to work...
updated physics engine and utask app by ultrashot...my thanks to him...
patched htc album to novsync, faster scrolling once cache is made...
removed no longer supported apps (my phone and marketplace)...if u need them install via cab...
Here is the link for the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15707730&postcount=8079
it was posted on July of this year, and so far it runs great. The trick is to not install a lot of apps in your main memory. Do it on your SD card. Also a hard reset is a must to avoid all kind of problems.
regards and glad you have your phone back to life

THIS ROM MAKES THIS PAD ROCK NOW
For now its back to using IUW to do either one of the versions..
you will also need to have done a U-BOOT-NAND upgrade at some stage.. and need to be showing at least uboot - 0.6.1.5 (587) at bootup at the right hand bottom of our screen.. if you dont have this then you will need to do it..

CONFIRMED #3925 2.2 v2.1 bootable sd install. One step process. Great job!
(for those wondering I have 6.1.5 (559) uboot so any at that or later should be allright)
EDIT: IF you have at least 6.1.5 (559[or higher]) showing on the Infotmic screen when booting you should be able to 1) download the .img file at the link above, 2) burn the .img file to an sd card using win32diskimager (or winhex), and 3) insert the sd card into slot between 2 usb ports while booting to update to 2.2 v2.1.
PS Not only does camera still work clearly for me on 559, camcorder records now.

Working and rooted.
I installed #3656 first and skipped the UO file when installing this and everything worked great. I installed the newest UO 0.6.1.5 () too and root seems to work after that too.
What I really like with this release is that swedish language is included (was missing in all updates after 1623) and ofcourse that it's Froyo!
To get Titanium Backup to work you will have to copy your old TitaniumBackup folder from the SD card to the new created when you installed TitaniumBackup, after that TitaniumBackup will find all your backuped apps.
It seems like both Flytouch2 and Flytouch3 are at version #3925, maybe the are compiling new versions for both pads at the same time now, so we can count on a new version when Flytouch3 gets one?

NOTE: do not use the update software on the pad even through it says there is an update available.. it will take you back to firmware: 2.1-update1 V1.8#2752
kernel version : 2.6.32.9

Bugs so far.. will update as the forum grows so that we have a reference page at the front.. saves a lot of reading later if this grows too much..
Please report your bugs and we can get people to work out fix's for you..
1: Ndrive does not work in this version
2: Small amount of people experience has Wifi connection/dropout problems - yet to find a fix..
Also no confirmed tests on Ethernet connections as yet - will confirm once we get some feed back - I am in Singapore airport and wasn't able to use the the Ethernet plugin for net.. so will check it out over the next few days as I will be in different Hotels so can test connections on the road
3: No apps2sd --- hope some one smarts finds a work around.. it would be killer if we could redirect some of the apps to see the SD1
A note on this...
in 2.2 V1.8 the file structure is sdcard local ram storage.... and ... SD1 - sdcard storage.. and SD2 -
in 2.2 V2.1 file structure is Local ram storage... and SDcard 1 and 2
both are locked in to using the local partitions for program storage and program data storage..
Which is a shame as things like ebooks and heavy graphic programs it would be nice to send the storage to SD1 or 2
This is fixed.. look at Smarkies thread for work around..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074251
4: Synchronization contacts and google calendar - Mixed bag on this one.. some get it some don't...might be a cache thing..
Fix once again provided by Barsuk .. check posts from Capeschae and Barsuk for fix.. they are from posts 121 pg13 - 126 pg 13
5: Paid Market apps - This is because of the China location block from Google more on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551929&page=3
there seems to be a fix thanks to Barsuk..
Problems with market. Not all applications are available. Workaround: clear data for Google Services Framwork then force stop it then reboot tablet.]

Yes..I had that problem too..as tried to set a cache Linux as well..had a God arwful time with it..I think it is something to do with how they have setup the drives for the internal ram on the pad..
Hopefully one of the guru's will grab this then work out how we can get real apps2sd..then we will be laughing..

I installed this official Froyo too. It's very, very fast, more than all the different firmware tested from here!
Some remarks/questions:
- The camera is not working anymore, the preview screen shows green or sometime other colors...
- A lot of apps are pre-installed, meaning that it is impossible to update them (Dolphin Browser, Skype, Facebook etc...)
- Is it possible to install Flash Player on it? Will it work? Does anybody tried?
- Is it possible to overclock the Flytouch2 with this rom? Is the kernel overclockable?
Thanks,
Tuc

Anyone else confirm it works before I flash it..
@patosoft

@Asiaa -- use IUW to make a bootable SDcard for the 2.2 1_8 version

After installed 2.2 v2.1 #3925 I found two bugs
- The camera does not work properly. I fixed the camera by replacing u-boot-nand.bin. Currently I have version 0.6.1.2 (587)
- Failure to sync contacts and calendar.
Market and Google Maps in this version work properly.

not able to root
This verision is awesome, having problems rooting it, have tried z4root and universal android root also, anyone have a solution for this. also having problems with market, not showing alot of apps, mostly Chinese and no google navigation
I used UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5. The first time did not work the second time worked.
Hello,
Thank you for answering me. It is true that by dhcp works perfectly, but prefer to solve the problem and leave it in static. Anyway with this solution, I better to work with the epad and already ire sought a way to fix it.
A greeting and thank you
After trying a few flash websites, I noticed that Flash Player is ON BOARD in this Froyo ROM!
But colors are something between colored and black&white...and crash in fullscreen mode.
The colors issue has been fixed on the new Flytouch (512Mb RAM) - the following quotation from Androidtablets.net explains how to proceed:
Flash Player issues RESOLVED - new flash player .apk
I have tested this on my ft2v2 with TCH rom 0419, and it mostly worked! Flash now played with correct colours and almost no lag once buffered. It did however crash when I attempted to go full screen, so not perfect yet. Opera mini and Maxthon Browser use the youtube app for youtube website if you have it installed. This works excelently. Flash worked well on other flash websites, I tried an emag site and it loaded where it would not before.
Here is the new apk: Adobe flash for flytouch3.rar (Thanks koti)
Password: koti
Install:
1) use Root Explorer to rename file \system\app\install-flash-player.apk to .old
2) Reboot Flytouch
3) Install the above .apk
I tried youtube and also some eMag sites.
NOTE: This is now included in Tim's ROMS 3b and 3c.
NJoy!

I tried to find the file \system\app\install-flash-player.apk but it doesn't exist in our 256Mb Flytouch...so I directly installed the new Flash Player from the link above but nothing changed with the Flash videos colors, even after a restart.
Does anyone know how to properly install this new version of Flash Player???!!!
Tuc
I rectified,
Still failing me the wifi. Automatically I hold a more function, but is still cutting. Before I had the firm 3245 and it worked fine. So I'm going to return to this firm.
"Confirmed that it is 2.2

That would be good - waiting patiently
