Hi all,
Thought I should start with a quick intro before making any other posts. Came accross this forum trying to get my XDA Exec (o2 std) to work with my Nokia 610 carkit. I knew nothing about BTsap and figured the carkit was just a big old headset.
Great search function! So far I have done the following...
Tried out Helmi_c AKU 3.5 1.3 rom, nice but then realised that I could flash it to crossbow so installed Jwrightmcps 2.02.02 WWE. Now everything works nicely (sort of, but I'll put feedback in the appropriate threads!)
Also installed the skype beta, vbar22, pbar and played around with the registry to get the data connection disconect options / changing the BT ID of the phone (to a phone not a PDA).
With the search function I managed to fix the mess I made after deleting the settings folder from the start menu and find the bar software from above.
Thanks to everyone who has made the software I've tried, answered other questions in the forums (which helped me indirectly) and put together the how to sections (3 ROM flashes and I haven't bricked my phone so I'm happy!)
Any other newbies out there, my advice would be to use the search function, read alot (i spent most of a bank holiday weekend searching and testing) and don't just dive straight in with questions like "I dwn lded xyz, now my fone is broked, PLZ HELP!!!!!" You will get much more from a SEARCH, and using correct grammar! (all capitals intended!)

Steve
I think we should have a 'best first post ever' award, this guy wins for sure
Nice going, keep it up

You know there are many type of people in the world, the good, the bad & the ugly, or the smart, the stupid & the idiot.
Guess this is the good & smart person.
@Steve_C
Guess you do not use Video Call. Video Call is not working well in all current WM6 Cooked ROMs. So the best ROM around with Video Call is still Helmi Aku3.5 v1.3.
@Midget
Sounds like you, you sure that is not you. Ha Ha Ha... just kidding
Looks like the snowball will survive in hell afterall.
I'm stunned that you've done all the right things and got what you wanted.
Well done and welcome.

I guess even at my age (54) one can be naive ... I thought that most people "help themselves", then ask for help when they had exhausted that option! I.e. look for answers before asking for them!!!!
I am very pleased that the approach of "seeking and ye shall find" has been approriately recognised!!!!
Well I just got into cooking and I've gotten different views about a GOOD WM6 Rom, I like my Roms Vanilla I use it for basic things Email, Texting, Surfing, Aim, Music and Word sometimes with things like that I dont need alot of preinstalled applications on my Roms I build...But now I'm looking to cook a rom for all users.
If everyone that would like to see a rom like this build meaning pretty much to your liking make a List and post here in 3 categories: Included, Removed, and Reg Hacks. I'll try to make the best rom out of all the users input that post here.
Thanks.
30 views and no one has an idea of the kind of wm6 they would like built?

ANTC,
Is it possible to replace WMP with MUCH better TCPMP media player? I guess it is, it's a matter of making the OEM package for TCPMP and removing all the traces of WMP?

It'll never happen...you just can't please everybody!!!!
For those who complain...screw'm!
There's enough Vanilla ROMs floating around...working or not.
I would like to see a ROM cooked with commercial programs such as Resco Explorer 07 and SPB Weather just to name a couple. Don't put out a finished product but have a bunch of programs in a Kitchen and let us Cook up the finished product. There are several base roms to choose from...but pick one where everything is working. If there's an issue with something...give out the patch.
I'm no chef but I can cook in a kitchen....for those who can't...again, there's enough WM6 ROMs for anyone to salivate over.
This is ...a developer's forum!

Well, look at the pandora's box. should be enough in there to keep anyone from complaining. minus the commercial software of course. But thats the best part. the kitchen will allow you to create your own packages, no matter what they arte. An im always willing to help. I cant build them for you if they are commercial though. I wont put myself in that position. LOL. I dont want any trouble and the last thing i want is the admins here getting flack for it.

thanks man. Actually it shouldn't be too hard - there aren't many refernces/files WMP related from what i've seen (Molski kitchen) just one folder and a couple of reg lines here and there. BTW, current ROM's are filled with reg junk anyway, just run SKtools and you'll see.

You're already in the fire.....you cook WM6
Granted, commercial software is paid for.....the software I use is paid for. I have licenses for everything I use. A mojority of us use the same software on the same ROMs, why not have it built in?
With the kichen, you are not putting out a finished product and there is no liability. Those with serials can use the kitchen completely.
I understand what you mean by putting the site in jeopardy but roms are no longer stored here but that didn't stop the chefs from getting the ROMs out.
Not trying to start trouble....this thread was started to get ideas and I gave one.
Thanks for reading..........
so anyone else besides removing wmp..i just dont see it being worth it removing
I would like to see Outlook as part of Office 07 and an accessory File in pograms that will allow you to restart,suspend PPC.Of course Live messenger and live search is a must for me... New Java esmerac, and Microsofts voice dial, if it can be cooked into the rom and work. Cingular /AT&T cooked into the rom..
i would like to have WinRAR along with RegEdit, and even WM5torage.

But here take your pick
i pick mfrazzz
I would pick faria, but im using mfrazz suped up version of faria's
and cause i see mfrazzz all over the forums giving pointers all over the place. that or because his icon just pops out at me so i look at his name. it's one of those reasons i swear

ANTC, it's bad enough that you think you are a chef, but putting yourself in a list with mUn and Faria is too much.
I hope your parents know your trying to ruin their expensive device.
I personally hate forum polls as in most cases they don't mean anything when its a question of "whats the best". Its all subjective for that particular moment, and then a poll like this does nothing for the community (except possibly divide it).
As I've stated in my first posts of each release of Crossbow Reloaded, I don't consider myself a "real chef" like mUn, Faria, etc. I'm taking someone else's REAL work, adding spices, removing / changing some flavors, and thats it. I've never tried to dump a real rom, pull it apart and make it work. So my analogy is I'm a person that takes a packaged dinner, modifies it to my tastes and then serves it.
I personally would request this thread be removed by the mods as I don't see it going anywhere fast in a direction thats good.
If the mods don't remove it, I request people not vote in it (and especially don't vote for me).

Here!! Here!! A poll like this only pits the chefs against each other. They are ALL valuable, contributing members of the community and there's no way I would vote for one over the other.
I've used ROM's from all of them and they've all been excellent and suited my needs at the time I used them. Each user has different needs/wants, so to create a poll as to "Who's the best chef" is -- in my opinion -- pointless.
No one is better than the other.
BUT TOGETHER they make this forum what it is.
The perfect place for our devices - to make them working the way MS never would reach.
SO thanks to ALL (i really mean ALL) people who are trying to develope the next generation of mobile devices.
Thanks

Sorry to mention - but you are 15. Yes? Don´t think you can creat something that ALL will love. YOu only will find some people who like what you do and some who spit on you. That´s live. Sorry to take your dreams.
But there is no world where all will love the same and live in harmony and freedom.
Sorry. DOn´t search for it by making a poll. Just cook a ROM and find your own way.
Thanks.
And yes. Ask some of the chefs, if they will delete this thread.
I personally suggest that you close it ANTC. As much as I'm honored to be on that list, I also have a heap of those same people on there with me to whom I'm indebted for making my ROM. ANichillus, mfrazz, nts and mUn helped me out in one way or another.
lol ouch..
All the cooks are awesome guys, because they care for each other and always try to share their discoveries and help each other.
So who is the best chef?
All of them, because all of them spend time to release their great ROMS.

which ROM KITCHEN do you use/like ? post ur reviews/feedback here.
I like Pandora's, seems complete and the ROM is fast. Even without overclocking
I was using Pandoras so I could have the latest and greates WM6 ROM however it proved to be too unstable and most importantly: I couldn't make A2DP work. Anyway I switched back to the previous WM6 .960 and grabbed Core 2.0, chucked it into the Core Pro kitchen and found it to be awesome - the programs just do it - no problems and even less clicks than the other kitchens! Plus it can extract any ROM you like into packages which is the biggest bonus.
I've used Faria's RK, edhaas' RomPacker, and now the Core RK. Overall, I like the Core one the best due to what all it can do. My only complaint with it is that all the scripts assume everything is on your system drive and in the directory Core. I'm going to have to rework all the scripts so it isn't like this, as I will sometimes have multiple kitchens setup as I test various things (and to keep old versions where I can fall back to them but still be in a working kitchen). This isn't an issue with the RomPacker kitchen.

I have a tough time choosing between CorePro and Pandora's, simply because I like the option, of being able to check and uncheck the boxes!! LOL. But the corePro kitchen is very advanced, it shaved ~13mbs off of the ROM I cooked in Pandoras.
Hi
I'm probably one of the few who prefers to use Molski's Devpack kitchen. only reason i use it is quite simply because it was the first kitchen i used! that and it was relatively easy to learn (i only really use it to add/remove programs and stuff, nothing exotic). the best bit of it is you just lob the 'nk.nbf' into the source folder, dump and its ready for you. i dont know if the different kitchens like pandora give you this option.

You can do that in my kitchen too LOL . I thought i saw a option.xml generator somewhere .... Hmm, dunno where tho ...mabe the Hermes forum
I started to think this thread was heading towards a "popularity contest" like the "best chef" thread...
I'd like to think everyone's goal in this forum is to offer support to other developers and users, and to improve the overall user-experience.
I personally don't care if anyone uses the kitchen I primarily support - which is based on doubleofours adaption of the new mUn rom.
However, if you do want use it, I'll do what I can to help make it work as best as I can. Because in the end, if we all work to fix all the issues, we all end up with an excellent rom - and just the way we each individually want it. Which kitchen isn't the base factor, it's working together as a team.
My goal is to help other users, not to win a contest of "who's the best" or whatever. I build a rom as I would want it, let others try it, and update the kitchen as issues are found. Is it the best way? Who cares? As a group working to debug issues, everyone can benefit.
Maybe someone should start a poll for who's the most supportive in the forum? At least that would reward others by recoginition for support, rather than how many users they can convince to use their stuff. There's no monitary reward here - let's not treat it that way.
So who's is best? I have a "philosophy" on that and it's debate:
Opinions are like a "rectum" (don't like to use profanity in public...).
One individual's may stink/smell nice more than others, but that's only up to the other individuals who smell it.
We're all human, and entitled to opinion. Sometimes its just better to keep it to ourselves.
How about we kill the poll's and get back to developing!
I have experimented with every kitchen thats been released so far. I still like the old school methods of rom cooking though.

I agree with you, that's why i decided to have some fun. I however think some of your message was addressed to me. I don't want to win an popularity contest and i think the number of posts and if you read them all you'll see that i always tryed to help others...even when the question was asked 100000 times before.
I started to hate polls...just because the fact that i know how much i worked on every release that i made, and how big support i gave every time and i don't say that others didn't do it, cos i am sure that they did ...but i don't like to get my hard work in any stupid contest.
All messages written above by me had a bitter sweet sarcasm in them.
You can't imagine how i feel untill you do it yourselves. It is really degrading to see that after over 3000 downloads with previous roms and another 500 with this kitchen(for the wizard only) i released...which i surely consider the only FULL kitchen there is out there except Scoter Kitchen , people making my hard work into some stupid contest.
I did it for all not for just a few, and i didn't made any test on who's the best one to have my rom.
You're right, this is democracy but it's wrongfully understood. Why ? Because i asked soooo many time for suggestions with my every release and i took notice of them all but people still not satisfyed. I asked : what do you think it's missing from my kitchen ...no responses...what should i think ? That is perfect the way it is or that people just don't care and only start stupid threads so they can use the "best" rom , the "best" kitchen..and so on.
Mabe it's just me...but i don't want to spend so many hours in front of my pc so that some people trash my work as they think.
I am so fed up with this that you can't even imagine.
just my 2 cents and i forbid using my kitchen, roms or even my nickname in any stupid contest!
Well said my friend. May the polls be dammed!
Edit: Oh, forgot to mention that no direct negativity intended - more so at the whole idea of "who's got the best ...". I can see where it could look that way - my apologies. Venting after long weekend of sleeping in till 11, drinking till 3, kicking back by the ocean... and thinking of what I could be doing if I only had my computer...

Cingular doesn't offer WM6 for the Wizard. Your best bet is to just try a few out and see what you like best. Asking which one is the best is very subjective and has been asked about 100 times already with about 1000 different answers.
Good luck!
ok...let me try to rephrase, would u happen to know of any WM6 roms for the wizard that are as close to the wm6 for the 8525 as possible. Without a ton of addons or anything. I want to have something that runs as smooth as possible. Something that is as close to the "stock" 8525 if you will...

ok...let me try to rephrase, would u happen to know of any WM6 roms for the wizard that are as close to the wm6 for the 8525 as possible. Without a ton of addons or anything. I want to have something that runs as smooth as possible. Something that is as close to the "stock" 8525 if you will...

If you think "a ton of addons or anything" makes a rom slow, you are mistaken. I think you will find most of the custom roms here faster than stock Wizard (8125) roms and they have lots more functionality. Having addons does not take away from your phone's storage space or memory. Only if you turn on the addons will it take away from your phone memory (but just like it would if you installed it yourself). Remember that the ROM has a dedicated area of around 60MB of space. If you put a 40MB rom in that space, you don't gain the 20MB, its just lost on the Wizard. So personally, I pack my roms to fill that space and give the most options built in for people to use.
But there can be a price with having a packed rom. Some have seen slower boot times and slower access to the \Windows folder when you try to use a file manager. But I've never seen it impact overall phone performance itself.
Just had to point that out, as it seems to be a common misconception that people have.

thanks for trying to be a jackass about the whole thing, you're attempt to help is dualy noted...
but to set everything straight, i have searched. Faria is by far the best working ROM that i've used thus far, and i've spent hours searching for ROMs and i'm already on my 5th one. So just because i have a newbie title on this forum doesn't that i dont know how to use forums, because i've been using them for the better part of the last decade. So please dont past judgement like that, it just shows your ignorance not mine.
One a more sunny note, ammarr thank you for that link, i haven't come across that one yet, and this will be my 7th try on a wm6 rom. Who knows maybe my phone is defective, but it runs the cingular wm5 rom just fine. hope i dont have to go back to that....
ammarr thanks for that link, i've added a few things to it like registry editor and such, but i really like the layout of this one. On top of that, its working well...phone not freezing, not dropping signal etc. Thank again.
well here's my 2 cents, if you liked whiterats rom, try bhoydegets "octavio 4" its an improvement and comes in different pagepools, try it for your self, here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323485
hey,
how would you say its an improvement? I'd like the touch scrolling and today plugin but dont want to mess up my wcrx1 which is working great. Page pools is not an issue since you can change them over activesync. I'm already running wrcx1 with 8mb pp.

I'm glad I can be a jackass and of some assistance.
You stated you're on your 5th flash.....there's over 70 Roms out there and new ones coming every week. You've done nothing! Faria's Rom was released about 3.5 months ago or longer. There has been alot of changes since then....but if you did some real research....you'd know this.
If you feel Faria's Rom is the best....stick with it, modify it & make it your own.
P.S: This is a developer's forum...not a user's forum.
It's not my job to police this forum; people are happy to assist with specific questions or issues as they arise.

1. I agree with dwny. This is a developers forum. This is not a forum for developers to help nubes flash new ROMS. I'm pretty tired of the "If I flash this ROM, will I lose my programs?" questions. I must see that at least a few times in every new ROM announcement thread. Most of the dumb questions come from people who don't contribute anything but "Works great. But can you add [insert freeware software request here] in the next one?"
2. If you're going to be a wise-ass, please spell all of your words correctly and use the correct context. It may not help you be more correct, but it will at least save you the humiliation of not knowing and understanding your native language. The correct phrase is "Duly Noted." And as a sidenote, dualy isn't even an actual word.
