Hi,
I've created another ROM for the Prophet
This is based on the Qtek 2.20 WWE ROM (thx mwiberg)
This is a very clean and stable ROM, it has the standard Qtek 2.20 WWE ROM, with the qtek links/images/junk taken out, and it has some patches in the ExtRom to enable MMS/GPRS/A2DP
This ROM will upgrade your SPL to 2.20.000
This ROM will upgrade your Radio to 02.47.21
This ROM will upgrade your OS to the Original Qtek AKU 2.2 OS (2.20.7.34 WWE)
This ROM contains my own version of the Qtek ExtRom (2.20.7.114)
This ROM has a patched installer, so it will not check your CID
This ROM has both splash screens changed (the white HTC one and the next one with the IPL and SPL info)
This ROM has a standard page pool of 12MB
My ExtRom:
A2DP_Cert_Signed.cab = Certificate to install the A2DP patch
A2DP_Patch.cab = A2DP Patch
AutoRun.exe = Needed to start the ExtRom Installation
Cert_SPCS.CAB = Certificate for SPCS
Config.txt = config file for the ExtRom
MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Java5xx-CyberonVoice-CV-04Nov05.CAB = Voice Speed Dailer
MP_Customization_Prophet_Qtek_WWE_051205.CAB = Various Prophet/MMS/HTC registry setting
MP_CVSDcpl_20060220.cab = Voice Tag installer
MP_mHub_WWE_060124-2.CAB = WWE language
MP_MMSAutoDisconnect_060106.CAB = MMS Auto Disconnect Patch (stops GPRS after getting MMS)
MP_MMS_Patch.CAB = MMS Setttings
MP_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB = Enable Smart Dialing
PP_DisconnectButton_16.CAB = GRPS Disconnect button
PP_ExtVersion.CAB = Set Ext Rom Version
PP_OperatorName.CAB = Populate the Operator Names Database
PP_Prophet-UAProf_AKU2.sa.CAB = registry setting for HTC prophet
prophet_a2dp.cab = A2DP Stereo Patch
P_ECall_112_911_QTEK_Wizard.cab = Set 112 and 911 as emergence numbers
P_PT_EnableSPN_Wizard_20060109.CAB = Enable download of Operator name (OTA)
Just download, run the file and after the upgrade is done, hard reset your Prophet (hold down both the camera and comm manager buttons on the side while pressing the reset button, hold the two buttons untill the screen comes up, then press the left green phone button)
Enjoy !

And yes, before you ask, I will release a splash screen updater for the people who don't like my Jester Splash Screen (Shame on you ! )
The Black HTC Logo's
This will ONLY replace both Splash Screens, it will NOT install or change anything else !
1. The White HTC logo will be replaced by a black image (nothing on it)
2. The Second Splash Screen will be replaced by a nice HTC Logo.

Again, just download and run the file.
Thanks jester, another fine release im sure.
How does this differ to the b1 of the same description? Just want to know so i can decide if to go from the b1 to the r1

go for this release, the other one is a beta, this is the release version
I contains some patches that were not in the beta (mainly MMS/grps/ad2p patches that didnt work correctly)
Jesterz,
After trying lsvw's roms, you finally came out of beta, so i am ready to try your rom.
My question is does your rom have the latest (8 button) comm manager, Sim manager and HTC's task manager? (lsvw's aku2.3 has that, which is useful for me, so i don't have to install extra-ware).
secondly, does do these two cabs do? PP_OperatorName.CAB and P_PT_EnableSPN_Wizard_20060109.CAB. I know you put in a short description, but what exactly does populate operator name do? and what exactly does download operator name do?
lastly, Does your rom have those so called "optimized" registry settings? such as increasing file cachse, disable animation, blah blah. Basically i'm asking if your rom is just a CLEAN rom or CLEAN and OPTIMIZED rom.
finally, there seemed to be flavors of 8 mb pp size and 12 pp size. based on your expertise, is having bigger pp size faster? lsvw claims his 8 mb pp is faster, which confuses me and seems to contradict definition of pool size :S
i've been following your work closely, so thanks for all your work, and dedication. i am diligently waiting for your aku3.3 results
Jesterz,
I have been using LSVWs 2.3 ROM and found it very stable, but not stable enough to not want to try this one
So I just installed this ROM on my G4 M600 and first impressions were great, very clean but also very very fast (interestingly I had used the 8MB page ROM as advised on other threads for the LSVW install???)
However I've hit a big problem, for me anyway. On registering my iTechS38 headset it correctly reports the device to have both "Hands Free" and "Wireless Stereo" services. Ensuring both these are checked I'm disappointed to find A2DP doesn't then work (Windows Media Player, Mort Player etc). In addition on returning to the Bluetooth configuration and holding on the iTechS38 entry I'm only offered to "Set as Hands-free" no "Set as Wireless Stereo" as I was previously offered with LSVWs 2.3 ROM. Editing the entry and both services are shown and are checked.
In an effort to check I hadn't just forgotten some basic step I reflashed my device with LSVWs new 2.3.1 ROM. Once again I was immediately able to add my iTechS38 and start listening to music.
Now that I've seen how clean and FAST your ROM is (along with other peoples comments on stability) I'm very keen to get it running with A2DP. Given the very prominent A2DP modules (which I saw being installed) and refinement comments for the R1 release am I just missing something really simple something here?
Can anyone else out there confirm they have A2DP working, ideally with an iTechS38 headset?
Thanks in advance
Jeff
PS I'm more than happy to have your artwork appear on each reset (it still does following LSVWs 2.3.1 update!) in my eyes it's the least acknowledgement we owe to you for all your efforts. I await your AKU 3.3 release with anticipation and would be happy if the only significant improvement was a resolution of the A2DP quality issues.

If you install this new logos, do you have to hard reset you device? i didnt understand exactly.
Thank you!!!
no, just run the logo update and thats it, it only flashes the parts of the rom which holds the pics.

I will have a look at this, mind you, I don't have a headset like yours so it's hard to test, also I don't want to "mess around" too much with these patches as I want to keep things stable and in their original AKU 2.2 state as much as possbile
for the other people, no this does NOT contain the "new" comm manager (which is WAY to slow and unstable if you ask me) or the task manager (as that is an AKU 3 feature) I don't want to mix AKU features with this release as I want at least this release to be stable and as close to AKU 2.2 and as clean as possible.

the cabs, the first just puts two operator names in the registry (telecom operator names, like Orange,KNP etc) to create the entries as they are not there to begin with
the second cab enable OTA reading of the operator name (it will read the name of the telecom operator that is being transmitted from the GSM tower) and it will update the previous entry with the correct name
This ROM is clean, i didn't add the optimize reg setting you describe, you are welcome to do so on your own
the standard page pool is 12 mb, you would think the bigger to PP the better, however, if you decrease the pp to 8 mb the OS will have more memory available for programs, which might speed up your prophet, so it depends which software you run.
I believe the 8mb is a little faster, however it's not much.
hi Jesterz. My phone is O2 Neo with no CID Unlock. Can i upgrade my phone to your rom ??
Thanks for your answer !!
FYI, i have installed this rom for a week now...and i cannot be more satisfied with its performance. If you are looking for a rom that is stable, fast and capable of receiving calls, do not look further! This is by far the best rom i have tested...and i have almost tested every single rom out there regarding AKU2.2 and AKU2.3 by Jester and LvsW...
Hi there,
I've not yet tested your updaten just installed.
Your boot screen scares me ! !
illanz
hi Jesterz! my phone is g4 cid locked, and has a dutch version of windows mobile. can i upgrade it with your rom?
tomas
jester cooked Rom
first jester, greetings, one hell of a job.
i tested your rom on Pro application (i develop security solutions and now i enter the Xda applications) and remote video takes lots of resources , but your ROM deal with it the best. no clogging gagging what so ever.
how ever i have a question: is it possible from you to allocate more memorey
for running programs and less for storage, or there is physicale barricade?
thanks for your replay
xmanmaster: yes, there is a phsical limitation because of WM5. Programs & data are stored in internal flash memory (on the remaining of the 128MB ROM after the windows installation). The RAM is 64MB and the free amount remaining does not depends on the ROM used, unless the cooker plays with the pool size. Standard pool size of 12MB leaves about 24MB free, 8MB pool size leaves 28MB accordingly.
jester: Tried standard release with 12MB pool since 2 days and today i'm trying 8MB beta version. The only issue which surprised me in these 2 versions is that RESCO KEYBOARD doesn't want to become default input method anymore. Registry key doesn't change and if i force manually, Prophet doesn't boot, ending to hard-reset. That was ot the case with previous Qtek 2.09 ROM, imate 2.13 ROM and Dopod 2.15 ROM. Do you have a comment on this?
I did not yet notice any visible gain over Dopod ROM but maybe time will show.
By the way the boot image is very cool and won't change it. I would srongly welcome ALIEN as well.
CID Locked or not
Can anyone tell me how come I can find my O2 Xda Neo G4, is CID locked or not???
Also can I load this ROM, regardless it is CID locked or not?
Sorry for such basic Q's...
MMS Missing
Hi Jesterz, I have a XDA Neo. I had uploaded yr Beta version which worked fine. Today I have uploaded the latest version r1.
Have not checked everything but i fidn that in messages switch accounts option MMS in missing.
can u help ??
thanks in anticipation

For my 1,000th post to XDA-Developers.com, I present to you:
Crossbow Reloaded v1.5
A Faria ROM Kitchen Production by mfrazzz
This version fixes issues that were found with the first release of Crossbow Reloaded, and adds new features. Just like with the first release, please remember that this ROM is a product of what _I_ wanted, so no complaints about why does this rom have this in it, or why didn't you put this in there. If you don't like how this rom is spiced, then go grab the Faria ROM Kitchen and make your own version. I am open to ideas on how to improve the rom (most of the changes in this version are direct results of ideas and comments posted in the original release thread).
Please Note: this ROM was NOT intended to push the limits on speed optimization or memory optimization. It was made to be functional and something that I myself wanted and will use. I've found it to perform at a better than acceptable level for myself, and so far Battery life seems just as good as any other WM6 ROM I've tried. If you have Battery Life issues, make sure you flashed back to an official rom before you upgraded to this one, as that will correct extended rom corruption that has been shown to cause battery draining. Also note that I've been running this version for about 24 hours and have not even used overclocking and found it to perform very nicely (so Overclocking should work very nicely).
What's Different in V1.5 from V1.0?
Removed Transcriber (actually this wasn't in v1.0 but I just want to make it clear its not here either) (Can be added back via CAB)
Removed VoIP (can be added back via CAB)
Removed Voice Command (Can be added back via CAB)
Removed HTC Zip (Pocket RAR does zip and works better IMO)
Removed PHM Registry Editor
Added SQLCE
SIM Manager upgraded to v6.1
HTC X-Button upgraded to v1.5 and now turned on by default
Added WM5NewMenu
Added SMSDRFix
Added DotFred's SoftKeyAppletEx
Added WiFiFoFum
Replaced Adobe Reader LE with PocketXpdf (smaller, lighter, and works as well in my tests. If you really want Adobe Reader LE it can be added back via CAB file)
Fixed Regional Settings to default to English (United States) and use a slash for the date seperator (M/dd/yyyy)
Menu sounds now work by default
Pressing the "End Call" button now does not disconnect GPRS but minimized the active application. Pressing and holding the "End Call" button for about 5 seconds will do a GPRS Disconnect
Internet access over ActiveSync (USB) connection works (You must apply a registry fix on your PC first. See the next post for the fix)
Added 3 themes (.tsk) and 3 Ringtones from what was in the 1.0 release
Base ROM Information
This is straight out of the Faria ROM Kitchen V2 so its a "fixed" version of Faria's "the real thing" release that was then made vanilla and that I've added packages back into, and changed/fixed/enhanced.
ROM Version: 2.18.0.0 WWE
ROM Date: 02/14/06
Protocol: 4.1.13.09
ExtROM version: Faria V5.0
There is no Radio, IPL, SPL or Extended ROM.
In addition to the changes mentioned above for what is different, here is a list of the other added apps that were also in the 1.0 release:
Notepad editor
Pocket RAR
HTC X-Button (turned on by default)
PIM Backup
Total Commander
GSFinder
MoDaCo NoData (so you can turn off data sources)
mUn Keyboard Skin
WM5torage 1.73
dotFred TaskManager (with registry editor link)
BatteryStatus 1.04.202 Beta 3 Build 0195 (There are newer versions out now, but I had issues with battery drain and other problems so kept the same version as in the original release as it seemed to work well)
Smartskey 0.56 (DPAD is set to 0 in the .ini so the up and down scrolling works in the Phone dialer as expected in WM6)
10 Button CommManager with Black theme
New welcomehead.96.png (3rd splash screen) to match first two splash screens of the rom
Requirements
You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other).
You MUST be running ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP (Vista comes with the correct sync utility, although there have been issues reported about Vista and sync'ing with PPC's so be aware of that).
Before you attempt to upgrade to this ROM, Please follow this thread to learn how to flash roms and CID unlock, and how to fix issues you may run into! It is also recommended that you flash your phone with a Windows XP computer and not Vista. It will work with Vista, but if you run into problems Vista can't talk to a phone in Bootloader mode!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Recomendations
I HIGHLY Recommend that you flash back to an official rom before upgrading to this (or any) custom rom so you have a clean base (and correct any Extended ROM corruption you might have). G4 users would flash back to their provider's latest official release. G3 can use T-Mobile 2.26 for a good base.
Use BatteryStatus (its included in the rom!) to overclock (I use 260MHz), and the CPUscaler settings in BatteryStatus to set a min of 143MHz and a Boost of 273MHz.
For Cingular users, I recommend you use the T-Mobile 2.19 UK Radio. Newer Radio versions tend to have missed calls and SMS messages (just like with all other WM6 ROMs). G4 users, see the next post on flashing the Splash screens for a tip if you get errors trying to flash the 2.19 Radio ROM.
Credits
I would like to thank the following in help (directly and indirectly) with Crossbow Reloaded v1.5:
Faria for providing both the base rom and the ROM Kitchen that I used to "cook" this ROM.
Funman for his fantastic PDF document on using the ROM Kitchen and for answering questions and fixing bugs in packages I hastily put together
ADB100 for finding and fixing some bugs in packages I worked on
Molski for having a nice tutorial on various cooking tools and providing easy access to info at http://www.molski.biz
Everyone that installed and gave feedback and support on the original Crossbow Reloaded version
Many others here at XDA-Developers.com that provided information, tips, and suggestions that I used when putting this together
While I'm releasing this, I fully realize this is really just a repackaging of the Faria Vanilla ROM that is included in Faria's ROM Kitchen. Other than a couple of slight modifications, I don't take credit for a full "cooking" (although this one is more customized than the first release). This is more like taking a pre-packaged dinner, and adding the spices and herbs that I wanted for my taste buds. Believe me, this was not that hard to do, and I did not spend the countless hours that full blown chefs spend in providing amazing base roms. So a HUGE thanks goes to the REAL chefs that support our community!
Known Issues
None!

I've tested all of these on my Wizard and they work fine. Also included in this file is Cyberon VoiceCommander, Cyberon Voice Dial, VIjay555 utils, and a Slingbox patch (none of these I've tested).
NOTE: To fully setup VoIP, after installing the CAB from the above link, you also need to follow the steps found here:

Connecting WM6 to the Internet via ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP
For those having issues connecting to the internet via Active Sync, cut and paste this code onto your PC in a file called net_over_activesync.reg and run it (on your PC not your phone)

Splash Screens and Splash Only RUU for G4
For G4 users, I've attached a zip file with the Splash Screens of this rom (since you don't get them when you use the shell tool). As I understand it, this is completely safe for a G4 as its nothing but splash screens (no OS, IPL, SPL, Extended ROM, etc, just splash and htc logo screens). I've also placed the .bmp files that make up the splash screen in the zip file so you can see them directly before flashing this. Before anyone asks, yes, the htc logo one is grainy. I had to do that due to size limitations of the file. I tried for a couple of hours to get a nicer version to work but it wouldn't display correctly (seems to have to be pretty low res / non-complex)
If you have problems flashing the above RUU on a G4, then extract this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29158&d=1152698784 and pull the nk.nbf file out of the above Splash Screen file and put it into the directory of this one and run this RUU. You can use the same method for flashing the Radio Only ROM (pull the nk.nbf file out of the radio only rom and put it into the directory of this RUU and run it). Thanks anichillus for that link!
Weather Panel Setup
See my post in the Wizard forum on how I setup WeatherPanel. It will give you a fixed dll with correct moon phases through 2008, new/better Moon phase icons, and a cool theme called Chameleon-240 QVGA. I dumped SBSH Pocket Weather after seeing this setup

Holy [email protected]! I just loaded the older version now this...LOL. I guess I'm gonna have to reflash again.
<Another one of your admirers>
Flashing this ROM doesn't work with Vista while T-Mobile's Original ROM just works fine..... It gives an MFC error,neither yours nor Core 2.0 works with Vista...am I missing something?
hooray...?
i just got the last version all customified, now i gotta flash the new one!!
keep up the great work!
All installed nicely. This ROM appears very quick and comprehensive enough for me. Thank you mfrazz.
I had to be quick to stop all the T-mobile extended rom installing, after following your advice and sticking a stock ROM on 1st. Funny thing is though ExtROM is listed as faria V5.0 but it definately contains stock T-mobile cabs etc.
Thanks once again
MMS included?
Hey mfrazzz - did you include all of the Cingular network settings? Figured I'd ask ya, since you were going for a "complete" rom.

I didn't check before I installed the Cingular CAB, but I don't think so - it may not make T-Mobile users very happy!

Nope, its service provider generic. I just updated the 2nd post with lots of add ons (Cingular and T-Mo US settings have info there).
BTW: Unless there is some huge issue, I think this will be it for Crossbow Reloaded, until the new Faria ROM Kitchen V3 comes out. This one has felt really solid to me (at least for what I use my phone for. I'm sure others out there will find stuff I missed in areas I don't touch ).

Sorry, I don't have Vista and have no experience with it. There are threads around here where people have discussed issues (and fixes) for installing roms via Vista.

Yeah, pretty much the same with me. Just had the V1.0 version really humming and started work on putting together all of the fixes and changes I wanted to do to make this one. I've flashed more in the last 3 or 4 days than I think I've flashed since getting addicted in January.

Yeah, I abort the T-Mo extended rom running too (and you do have to be quick). Yeah, the Faria "Extended ROM' is really in the \Windows area (as I understand it) and not really a true extended rom (at least when I cook this I'm not putting anything in the extended rom). So yes, its expected you will see the official rom's cab files still sitting happily in the Extended ROM.
Great rom.
Awesome mrfrazzz....just awesome!! Keep up the great work, Crossbow Reloaded works great for my needs.
Thank you so much!
Thanks guys. Hoping someone can do a review of this rom for me after they've played with it for a bit. I'm seeing lots of downloads for it on rapidshare (and trying to get some alternative download sites for it going). I'd just like to get some feedback on it.
I have to say I'm really happy with how this one turned out. So far its been nice, quick, and stable and I still haven't overclocked my phone yet as it seems to perform nicely at the default 195MHz for me (I'll look at overclocking it again, but just haven't felt the need yet).
I hop this release will fix my odd problem i had with first release.
after my battery was completely empty i charged it, phone worked, after few minuts it just jammed and i needed to do a hardreset.
Anyway thnx for this 1 and ill post 2 HTTP mirrors when i have some time to upload them, think somewhere in the morning.
My first ROM
Thanks so much mfrazz and everyone, this was my first ROM for my Dopod 838 and I've had this thing for a year now. Never bothered to play around with it and was never really happy about its functionality until now... its ridiculous how much better it is compared to the manufacturer ROM.
Just so many lil things are better. Working great for me. Thanks a bunch!

Kudos to you for the hard work in prepping this ROM. I've always appreciated (and been a fan of) your patience and professionalism! Now you have taken the plunge into cooking. Congrats!
I am currently using Faria's RT and am seriously considering your Reloaded version as permanent replacement, but I have three issues that I am wondering if this ROM version addresses. These seem to affect all WM6 Roms for the Wizard and I'm curious to know if this ROM corrects them.
1. GPRS data connection fails to re-connect when recovering from a low-signal situation.
2. Device does not vibrate upon receipt of a new email message when it is in sleep mode and the ringer is set to vibrate.
3. Meeting requests sent via the device's invite attendees function do not display the correct date in the recipient's Outlook. They show only the date of creation/modification and not the actual date when the event is to occur.
On another note, have you found a way to send contacts and calendar items via email as opposed to MMS or SMS? I know about the workaround that involves initiating a send via MMS, aborting, and then sending the created file manually via email. Is this still the only way?

3rd Party Apps?
I'm seriously considering this a my next flashing project (I run many 3rd party apps and it's always a pain to switch ROMs).
I remember when people were first releasing WM6 Wizard ROMs there was a lot of discussion about 3rd party apps not working. Is it still only a small subset of apps that work or can I expect most applications to now work fine?
Updates
Mar 24, 2008 - All ROMs: Updated to 5.2.1629 (Build 18136.0.4.8), upgraded Smartdialing, removed registry hack for menu sounds. On AT&T 8125 ROM only: replaced Westtek ClearVue PDF with AdobeLE PDF Reader 2.0, Intent Tao Java with Esmertec Jeodek, and HTC PhonePad with HTC Touch keypad.
Jan 28, 2008 - Added vanilla ROM in kitchen form (see below).
Dec 20, 2007 - Original T-Mobile and AT&T releases.
Here is a ROM so boring, it looks like a run-of-the-mill carrier-branded OEM ROM with all the same apps and equally as bloated! This was my first effort at ROM cooking, so please don't judge too harshly!
I currently have 2 boring versions for USA devices, one for the AT&T 8125 and one for the T-Mobile MDA. Both are built on the latest shipping version of WM6 I could get ahold of: 5.2.1629 (Build 18136.0.4.8) from the Sprint Mogul (HTC Titan) which was released on Mar 10, 2008.
Why 5.2.1629?
This is possibly the newest real WM6 available right now. 19xx builds that are "AKU 0.7.0" are older eval ROMs. If there is a newer shipping build out there, let me know about it and I will update accordingly.
I believe PagePool is 8MB.
Your device must be SuperCID to use these ROMs.
1. For AT&T 8125
This ROM was originally based on a port from the 8525, but I've changed a few apps since companies of some of the apps are no longer in business (i.e. Intent Tao).
Apps:
ArcSoft MMS 3.5.1.24C
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial v1.2 Build ??????
HTC SmartDialing v2.5 (Build ??????)
HTC Zip v1.20 (Build 27216)
Esmertec Jeodek (replaces Intent Tao Java - no longer in business)
AdobeLE PDF Reader 2.0 (replaces Westtek Clearvue PDF)
HTC Task Manager (X-Button) v1.51 Build 30470.
HTC Camera v3.00 (Build 23027).
HTC SIM Manager v6.31.
HTC Comm Manager v1.8.1.0.
Windows Live (because 8125 had MSN Messenger)
Remote Desktop (because 8125 had Terminal Services)
HTC Touch Dual Keyboard (replaces PhonePad, it's a big improvement)
VoIP
Registry modifications:
10-buttons in Comm Manager.
SAPSettings moved to Control Panel (never tried it, but looks interesting).
KNOWN BUGS:
Wifi notification always says "Turn on Wi-Fi" even when it's already on. This is a WM6 bug that even the 8525 shipping ROM has (at least, according to threads I've read on another forum).
AddContacts.exe in ExtROM doesn't actually add any contacts for some reason.
AT&T 8125 ROM Download (OS only)
The extended ROM is not included in the above download. The ROM should work fine with the Cingular extended ROM. However, I have 2 flavors of ExtROM available. Both ExtROMs will change your splash screen to the 8525 AT&T logo and give you the AT&T theme, HTC default ringtones, and other AT&T settings.
Basic ExtROM+Splash - Rebranding from Cingular to AT&T, just basic CABs to set the theme, etc. NO TRIALWARE.
Full ExtROM+Splash - Contains all the trialware from the OEMOPERATORS of the 8525. You will get a bunch of trial software that expires in 30-days like XMRadio, MobiTV, MusicID, and other stuff.
2. For T-Mobile MDA
This ROM is virtually a direct port from the latest shipping T-Mobile Wing ROM. Basically, it is the 5.2.1622 core OS and merged it with the OEMAPPS from the Wing. The ExtROM is INCLUDED with this ROM and if allowed to customize, will install T-Zones and all that. HTC default ringtones were moved into ExtROM to make room. It seems to work okay, but there are some things I can't test like MyFaves - it doesn't even show up, but I don't subscribe to MyFaves and the Wing manual implies you need to subscribe to it for it to even show up.
Apps ported directly from Wing:
ArcSoft MMS 4.0.31.15
Esmertec Java 20070124-113964.2.1
Adobe Reader LE 2.0
Bluetooth Explorer
Symbol Pad
MyFaves 2.0
Apps upgraded/changed from Wing versions:
HTC SmartDialing v2.5 (Build 27526)
HTC Task Manager (X-Button) v1.51 Build 30470 (original was 1.5).
HTC Camera v3.00 (Build 23027) - Wing camera wouldn't work on Wizard.
HTC SIM Manager v6.31 - Original was 5.something.
HTC Zip v1.20 (Build 27216) - Original was 1.11.
Registry modifications:
Start menu sounds.
Items removed:
LockStream DRM (caused problems, had to remove it).
KNOWN BUGS:
AddContacts.exe in ExtROM doesn't actually add any contacts for some reason.
T-Mobile MDA ROM Download (OS+ExtROM only)
3. Vanilla ROM
This is a "vanilla" ROM using the 5.2.1622 core. It's nothing more than SYS, OEM, and ROM folders (it is NOT flashable as is). Just drop into the Build folder of your favorite kitchen, put your packages into the OEM folder, and cook your own custom ROM. It comes with only the camera (in the HTC folder) and CODECs (in the Default folder), although you can remove that and use your own if you wish. It does come with the necessary drivers and base control panel apps.
Vanilla SYS, OEM, and ROM folders for cooking (OS only, this is NOT a flashable .nbf file)
BUG REPORTS - Please list exact steps to reproduce any bugs that are found.
Sorry for the crappy screenshots, I don't have a good free program for that.
ALL FILES REMOVED. I'll explain later.
glad to have some fresh builds... thanks for your hard work, i'll post up any issues i find, flashing the nbf first then i'll pull it apart later. since you have both, have you found that only differences between the two are the installed apps? or have you found major differences in the default and user rgus? i'll report what i find after i pull them apart...

remove netcf and replace with 3.5
if you have any input about going further with this, please pm me, i would appreciate help or suggestions.
the current challenge for me is how to remove the dlls from the memory map so that i can remove the camera and netcf, etc... i have no idea how to do that and can't seem to find any pointers how to figure it out.
i've been trying to get the oemdrivers to extract with the missing files, but i can't seem to get it to work. ive tried builddsm in many ways, hand editing the dsm several times, and merging with the format of the tmo version. i dont understand what all the gibberish is before the file listing... it will build just fine, but i get a viewimgfs error on extraction. i have one more thing to try, but if anyone knows more about the dsm structure, i'd love to know how the system dsms are laid out...
_____________________________________________________________
Here is the aio radio, ipl/spl, and splash screens that i use after every flash after tmo 2.26, just makes it a little easier...
2.19.11_3.08_WM6Splash_BlankExt.rar
from the following files:
IPL_SPL_3.08
T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly
WM6_Splash_Wizard_NOID
Blank Extention Rom
______________________________________________________________
in case anyone would like to try it out, here is radio 2.71
i used it for a about a week and i like it better than 2.69. the performance is probably similar, but it seemed to be a little quicker for signal, little better call volume, and a little less battery drain. i did say a little, it's probably all in my head. i don't know about any missed call issues, but i rarely get phone calls, just sms and email.
radio_2.71.rar
2.19.11 works for me with good batt life, i guess i just feel better running the proven one...
I ended up using the same default and user rgus for both the AT&T and TMO. I did go through each to see if there was any customization and there was, but it was identical to the customizations in the OEMAPPS rgu so it was unnecessary to have them also in the default.rgu. Most of the other customizations especially for the TMO ROM are in provxmls.
so far, the stinkular one seems like a very decent base. after flash i had i bit more that 29mb free, which for a 6mb page pool is very good for a stockish rom. also seemed very responsive and fast when using file manager. the glyphcache is 8192 and auto and 0 for the file system caches. i did try to pull it apart, but imgfs craps out, much like tnt 1933 official. so ill see if i can get the thing to extract and then mess around with it.
the tmo one is, well tmo with ext rom running, 27.5 free and without 27.58 . whee! i hate tmo.... anyways, looks to be a good base after stripping it and it doesnt have problems being dumped. maybe i will see what can be done with comparing the two, and paring down the wing version... the att version at least has still has sqm, so i have to take that out...
looks good gnat, very good for your first port!
Your awesome dude. This is great. I will flash tonight and see how everything goes. Thanks

ok, i lied... didn't check... tmo one has 8mb pool, so change to 4 (the best) and 32.5 mb free!!! time to start stripping
Sorry about that, for some reason I was sure they had a 6MB page pool, but it was a long time ago that I checked and I guess my memory isn't what it used to be! Both ROMs should have the same page pool so 8MB for both.

if i use the normal core pro, viewimgfs crashes but it looks mostly there... i just don't trust imgfs anything crashing
i flashed it and the extracted the os.nb with WST then generated the nbf and extracted again. Plenty of missing files (so no dsm or rgu is how that happens right?) but easy to fix... not sure what the original problem was, but i can play now
Why does the data connection to edge/gprs connect when I want to send/receive email through wifi?
I tried going into the command manager but there is no settings for data connection.
Is there some kind of setting to stop edge/gprs from connecting
and thanks for the rom
voip setup
Is there a friendly way to setup internet calling with this ROM?
I tried wm6voip.cab but it didn't work

Is that not typical? For some reason I thought the original WM5 did that too, but I can check on that later.
I did have a program to stop the GPRS connection over WiFi, I think it was Modaco NoData. You can get it here:

Glad to hear the MyFaves works! That's something I couldn't test myself.
Sorry to hear about the difficulties some people are having pulling the ROM apart. I'm not sure why there are problems, I can try to fix it when I get back to work. I might be as simple as I need to rebuild some dsms. Better yet, if there's demand for a vanilla ROM, I can make one of those too. I just need to know what most people want and don't want in a vanilla ROM. Probably best to leave the vanilla ROM in kitchen form too?
I'm on vacation from work where all my files are so the soonest I can get to it is in 2-weeks (Jan 7).

My Faves, Extended Rom, Keep the wing ...., what you need to get the myfaves i their.

Are these rom's compressed or not (cooked with Tadzio's toolchain)?
i've got my kaiser since yesterday afternoon and i tryed all roms avaible here and almost all of them has "diamond look" or at least got alot of touch-****...whats the point of inserting htc album when s2v is lighter ad bettter.. all roms are almost the same..
i tryed to cook rom by myself and its working fine but i cant find kitchen files for build greater than 19212.. can any cooker share his oem/sys/xip with me?
now i'm trying to uncook roms but most of them are protected and pkgtool cant make packages..
sorry for my english
Personally I just took the latest official HTC ROM (5.2.19212 that all the carriers are using and re-cooking with their own apps included) and used the kitchen to dump it and then have rebuilt it using my preferred apps and settings. It has taken me a while and I am almost there (just need to get Voice Command 1.6 UK integrated properly...).
I didn't think there were any real changes between 5.2.19212 & 5.2.19588? Plus with the official ROM as a base it is unlikely to have any inherant incompatibilities - probably
My 2-cents..
Andy
well i'm not sure there is a diffrence but i saw a huge increase of speed on herald with 19949 rom when changing from 19212... my actual 19212 rom is working fine but i think some modules from newer builds are better.. numbers occasionaly means improvment
Hi!
I'm looking for umodified ROM of WinMo 6.5, preferably in Polish. Where can I find it? Alternatively, can someone point me to the least modified distribution available?
Hi
There is modified, but good rom from WJTK (it is somewhere on ths forum). It is stable and fast. It has one grat function already included - it can automaticly turn in modem when connected to pc (i`m using orange free and it works great when i need internet in the field).
If u looking for stock rom, then i think it was stock from operator (like orange). I never found any updates of rom on official orange, era, plus or play website. Stock roms was 6.1 (3-4 yaear old). If you look for something fresh and polish, then only modded roms you have. I reccomand WJTK, because it is fast and polish, already have all i need (divix playback, wheader widget, soft to block gsm internet when i don`t need it, and when i need: full 7,2Mbit HSDPA modem).
My current rom is wjtk.21851 PLK, radio 1.65.17.56, protocol 25.85.40.02H.
It can be found od pdaclub.pl, i`m not allowed to paste direct lin k so you have to search yourself.
