Here is my second attempt at including the collection of (what I understand them to be) fixes for the A2DP sound/function issue. I don't have a stereo BT device, so I'm depending on you guys to tell me if it works or not.
If it's good, I'll update the kitchen. If not, I'll go back and keep trying.
This is dogfood - so it's what I use. Don't like it? Don't use it.
This one is right outta the original InGeNeTiCs 318 rom base dump. It was a virgin when I got it
Included apps:
Camera 3.0
Windows Media Player
Features:
8-Button Touch Comm Manager
Black keyboard like T2 and Black Dymond
Here's the post-flash numbers after cleaning nearly everything from startup:
Storage: 45.29
Program: 30.29
There is no compression in this one, so I would think with some playing, the program number could get a little better.
Oh, and it's damn fast too
Please let me know how it works.
Thoughts/FAQ:
Q: Why not add the latest Touch software?
A: The today plugin is slow, and after the novelty wears off, it would be nice to be able to remove it. The dialpad installs easier via the cab.
Q: What is the page pool size?
A: 6 meg.
Q: Why not release more flavors like you usually do?
A: I'm focusing on finding answers, not providing end-user product. I'm happy to share what I use and find, it's just not my priority right now.
Q: Is this a "Pandora" release?
A: No. It's just a 'polished' test rom to verify A2DP function.

And if you absolutly MUST have a more "fulfilling" rom, here's my personal config:
http://rapidshare.com/files/37696107/Full_2nd_Try.zip
At the moment WiMax isn't properly working here (we are almost getting flooded, has been raining for a week), maybe i download it tomorrow...
You should inform the community that you are using the latest build (5.2.318, including a new bluetooth stack, at least more up to date than the one Faria used for his ROM), there are still a lot members using 5.2.1413 apparently slower and a higher battery drain. Looking foward to try your new kitchen...
Got skipping at 320kbps, retried the original InGeNeTiCs and got no skipping on the same song and what sounds like better stereo separation. Can anyone else confirm this? Let me know if I can do anything to help mattk_r
o/t... is there a way to force my custom extended rom to run on a pre-cooked rom? would make my life a bit easier
I've got skipping with 320kbits as well while using the sd battery fix, after change the registry entry the skipping was gone...
Hmmm. I didn't do the 'SD Battery Fix' specifically because of the skipping issues, so that shouldn't be the issue.
raventec, you clearly see a difference? If so, there's a couple more things I can do... but it's uncharted territory
You know you're at this a bit too much when you put out a rom and then spend the rest of the night having nightmares that you didn't have speed search working in the dialer...
There's definitely a difference on my end with my Bluespoon Spider's. I flashed back over to this one again and the skipping came back and it seemed to sound a bit muddy and less separation. I didn't install a bunch of stuff so that's not the reason. I hadn't installed anything the first trial at all. heheh didn't notice the speed search problem. I'd probably never be able to tell, since it's not a feature I tend do use I'll fiddle with this rom for a bit. Let's see what else I can break! Hopefully come Monday we can get more responses regarding the A2DP.
if it isnt related to the sd card power management it must be somehow a performance issue. I used Con. Pocket Player 3.2 and had skipping problems until i changed the player priority, it cant actually be the stack. Something else, just try to change the driver priority, lets say to 60
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\BtA2dpSnd\ Priority256=60
regards,
sorry cant test the rom, still operating on dial up connection speed...

nice tip, but do you know if this is active as a service, or only when the BT is connected? I'm just concerned that it could impact other operations when it's not in use by capitalizing on the CPU priority.
ok, I'm gonna post a new test rom that should be a good one, based on feedback from this and other setups. I'll update the first post once it's done, probably within an hour.
I just looked in the registry and it's already set to 60. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\BtA2dpSnd\ Priority256=60
dammit, whats about ...software\microsoft\bluetooth\audiogateway\capability... i am running on 69.
additionally y can try to go a bit down with the BitPool (lets say around 55) and the MaxBitRate (around 70).
Btw, does the intensity of the skipping depend on the distance (device - headset)?
cheers.
That registry setting is 69 here as well 4irm. I'll keep the BitPool and MaxBitRate in mind and fiddle with them when I get a chance. Wasn't able to check to see if the skipping intensified the farther I moved away from the Wizard. I tested the same way with both rom's freshly loaded and reset after flashing without any added applications and no overclocking, same song which is a straight 320kbps without VBR to give as close of a test bed as I could. I'll snag the next one, see what happens and post what I can find.
Okay, there's the new file in the first post. It's very different than the base I had been using - so I'm hopeful that this will show some good results.
Thanks again for checking this out - I know it can be a pain to keep configuring your phone after every flash!

this one cuts out. i'm about to install bs to see if that helps...

EDIT ...again ...bs and a soft reset didn't help, it still distorts the bass and cuts out at distances greater than 2-3 feet

A2DP is already there - at least in this base rom. I added these registry settings, you might try changing them to see if the performance improves/changes:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"MaxBitPool"=dword:55
"BitPool"=dword:46
"SampleRate"=dword:bb80
"UseJointStereo"=dword:1
If these settings really don't help, please remove then and try again. Damn, I gotta get a headset...

Off topic somewhat, but what's a good headset? I'm looking at either the Southwing SA505 or the Motorola S9.
No Matt I mean how can I add this to my rom ect how were you able to install it into your rom

First of all, I'd like to acknowledge the excellent job that mattk_r and nottoosmart did in creating the base Pandora rom and kitchen on which this work is based.
I imported their stuff into my Rom-Packer kitchen, made a few minor tweaks, compressed a few packages, and wanted to see how much I could get into a single build. I was pleased to find that I could get in everything I wanted (and a bit more!).
My target audience here are folks who just want a rom that does it all, and quickly. This is in the style of Faira's roms, in that it is packed full. It has all the base WM6 apps: Transcriber, Enterprise, Entertainment, WindowsLive, WindowsLive Search, Office 2007 (includes Onenote Mobile), VoIP, SqlCeMobile, MediaOS (Windows Media Player), Camera. I have left out/removed error reporting, autoupdate, and sqm. All of which make no sense for a custom rom, and are in my opinion accidents waiting to happen. Catalog I left out just because its a shopping portal, and I imagine you can just visit on the web if you want.
3rd party apps:
Adobe Reader LE, ArcSoft MMS, Notepad, Today Agenda, Battery Status, HTC X Button 1.0, PHM Registry Editor, PIM Backup 1.9, Pocket RAR, Shut XP, Redial, SMS Backup, Task Manager, Total Commander, WM5torage
I also threw in the newly released HTC Audio Manager, which is a very nice audio player.
There are two versions:
One with Voice Speed Dial, One with MS Voice Command.
Registry tweaks:
Thin scrollbar, disabled security, 802.11g, increased ring tone, edge icon, keyboard icon. I also enabled increased file and glyph caches, as for me these help performance noticeably, and there is plenty of ram.
Speaking of ram, I get 29.93 mb free on reboot of the VC version. I imagine it may be a tad higher for the SD version. If you don't like a particular app, just don't use it. It's not taking up any of your storage space anyway! If you want a few more mb of ram, you can disable the file cache settings manually, but I don't think its worth it personally.
Issues:
This rom is based on mUn's latest release, which still has some issues to be worked out, mainly Flash Player and A2DP, but check on the Pandora or mUn rom threads for tweaks and fixes for these as they become available.
Edit: I am advised by mattk_r that a2dp may work. Let me know. (I don't use it.)
For those that need these features now, Faria or Core-based roms currently work. If people are interested in "Packed" versions of those, let me know. Or cook your own!
This is an OS only flash.

Have fun!
going to try it now, looks good, thanks for posting it
It Looks Nice bro
I will try it and get back
Thanks
Seems pretty fast, I only had 27.16MB of ram free with nothing extra installed or running, not even activesync.
Everything seems great except the GPS icon tweak isn't preset and there aren't any extra themes (Black) added already.
None of them are big deals since they can be fixed, but just saying for a "fully-Loaded" Rom, they less tweaking needed after the fact, the better.
Thanks for the comment. If you have a bundle or link that you'd recommend let us know. Or post a cab for people to install.
I could put some more stuff in the Voice Speed Dial version, but the Voice Command version is close to the edge. So to keep the features the same, I'll probably just leave them as is for now. Down the road as my "Packer" becomes more sophisticated, I may be able to squeeze more in, but for now this is about the state of the art.
I don't know why your ram numbers are different. Mine were higher. Still, 28 meg should be plenty to work with I think.
I'm afraid there will be some tweaking to be expected. We are creating things that aren't perfect. I appreciate your help.
Best wishes,
a little error with voice dailing with headset
Nice Rom, surely a fast one but
when tried to dial with the voicedailer thru my bt headset nothing happened...
i getting used with the fact that voicedailing gives problems with some roms but this one is easily to handle:
From HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "\Windows\btagext.dll" (string)
To HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "OEMAGW.dll" (string)
and it works....
still a nice rom....
Loaded it this morning cleanly. As others have said it is nice and quick. My old ROM had been in for all of four weeks so it was time for a change
I had some issues with AS on first sync. My favorites and most of my ring tones didn't come across even though it showed Synchronized. I re-synced and all came across bar my tsk files and the notes. With the notes, I have two copies of each. One is the original from the PC sync along with another pre-fixed "Changed copy of" in the filename. Never seen this before.
It does seem fully loaded with one small omission : the Wireless Today plug-in. Ill find it and add it in but perhaps this could be considered for a future up-issue. A small quibble and easy to fix.
Downloading now...
Hello!! Im just downloading your ROM, i look just like what i install all over when i hard reset my device so i will give it a try. However i thing there is another PDF reader out there that many claim is faster and lighter, i dont remember the name. I will look out for it and spread out the word.
I have some questions:
Does this ROM has has the Camera v3.0?
Does this ROM has the bluetooth explorer enabled and working?
How much is the battey consuption and idle processor 4% ?
Best regards !!
Thanks pdamol for the fix.
Tpalik, yeah, unfortunately activesync acts up at times with reflashing. I don't think its this rom. I have a whole hocus-pocus routine I go through now to avoid duplicate entries when changing roms. I've had thousands of notifications, and thousands of contacts before, which really made me panic. Hope you didn't have too many notes to delete.
In the future, try deleting the sych relationship from both your PC and the mobile device before reflashing. Then re-synching, adding only one category at a time, and watching carefully to see that each time the additional category is actually synched. Thats helped me.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestion.
Hope you both enjoy the rom!

Yes, pdaXplore is out there, but there are mixed reviews about whether it is actually lighter on resources when running. (It is a slightly smaller .exe) So, I went with the standard, since I could fit it in. If you like the other one you could install it too.
I think it is Camera 3
Not sure about the bluetooth explorer.
Idle processor is 0-2% with occasional bounces as the system does something or other. Battery life should be good.

Does it has smartskey??
10 button comm manager?
Voip ???

GPRSStallworkaround: Not sure, but there's a registry editor included so you can put it in yourself if needed.
G4: Yes, its safe. Read up on how to do it if you haven't done it already though.
Smartskey: No, I don't use it, but if you want it just load it in yourself. It's a really small program. BatteryStatus, which is included, does overclocking on its own.
10 button: yes
voip: yes
Take care,
Does your packed ROM include the GPS application and Icon?
ROM looks very good and I would like to try but need the GPS and a lot of ROMs don't include it.

Hi, No it doesn't. I'm not sure why not. If I find it I'll put it in the next update. (Along with the other fixes people suggest.) Having said that, I have no problem connecting with my GPS over bluetooth and TomTom is happy. I've read that app has been impossible to get to work properly, and most of the GPS folks avoid it. If you have problems getting going with the current set-up and want how I do it let me know.

I just flashed with this ROM and my device has frozen 2 or 3 times also it has a little trouble with the voice dialer, when in press the voice activation button it says that it cant start the assigned app.
Strange. I will fix it by myself. but i dont like to fix recently flashed ROMS.
Hi charly_mx,
Sorry for your trouble. Try a hard reset (if you haven't loaded too much in already). Or a soft reset if you have. (Using the pinhole.) I'm using the voice command version, and haven't had any problems with freezing. Is it a particular app? We could see if others are having trouble with it as well. If you post the fix for the voice dial activation I'll make sure it gets corrected in the next version.
Thanks,

I just got it!!! Look.
The Voice Speed Dial is bad assigned in the button config. Instead of being assigned on the second option of the button 4, it must be assigned in the first assignement (for a single key press activation). The second assignment of the button 4 is meant to be the "press and hold" function. Thats why it wasnt working with a single key press. Its just a slight config option.
Best regards.!!

Hallo.
I guess, here is a lot of users (me too), which would like to use their WM6 Wizards with Bluetooth stereo headset.
Big problem in WM6 is support of A2DP profile, as everybody know, it's important for correct function of Wizi with BT stereo HS. Everybody wants to have a good sound without skipping.
So You can help to this users, if You will write to this thread, which WM6 ROM is 100% working with A2DP profile and You can note Your own experiences.
Thank You! Cheerz.
Good thread.
One reason I am still sticking with Faria's Real Thing rom is the fact that A2DP works fine.
Dont know about the other Roms.
Forgot to put in, I use Jabra BT8010.
Pandora1.10 supports my SouthWing SA505 flawlessly...
No patches needed.
Anything built with the current Pandoras Box Kitchen using 17913 build ROM doesn't work with A2DP. The rom before this .960 or similar - all these WM6 (unless purposefully removed) work with A2DP.
Core 2.0n
I am using Core 2.0n and A2DP is working.
It needs a little tweak to increase the sound quality. Changing registry values like bitpool and others is required.
Core 1.1 also supported A2DP, which sounded great without any tweaks at all.
I have tried several 5.2.1413 roms but none supported A2DP, even with patches.
I will try the latest pandora shortly and comment about the experience.
I use Motorola HT820.
I got Pandora1.05 to support A2DP with the attached patches, but Pandora1.10 supported it "right out of the box"
Hi edgardito,
I am using Core 2.0 but I got the hissing problem, may I know what are the settings you are using? Problem is, I am using an Itech Clip s35

I had a same problem with this ROM.. poor sound quality and skipping every 15 sec. Tommorow I'll try it with Pandora 01.10 ROM and will see if it's better or not. I hope, it will be allright as You wrote.
Can You edit this Your topic and write there your solution with important change of registry values? Thanx!
Problem
Hi.
Today I've been trying Nokia BT stereo headset with this 01.10 ROM in my Wizi. Pairing run normally, but headset profile didn't start and WMP played with phone speaker only. I hadn't this prob with other ROM, for ex. Core 2.0n.
Can anybody advise me? Thanx!
NBD
Yesterday I had tried NBD (Not Big Deal) 6.1. The sound wasn't so good, but when I used Hardcore's reg fixies UseJointStereo and SampleRate, sound was quite good (no excelent) without hissing and skipping.
I You want, try it!
It's a little off topic in this thread, but A2DP work's good with LoveWizard ROM too!
If someone has the package for the A2DP files from the /SYS folder - and know they're good, I'm happy to cook a test rom so we know the kitchen is creating correctly.
Unfortunately, right now all I can do is put up a mix and see what fallout happens...

the ingenetics rom dump is the best a2dp for me (I'm fairly sure you already have it). I'm using the original rom, not anyone's cooked version.
I also think a lot of apps interfere with it (especially cpu heavy ones) and the way it's cooked. for example, farias the real thing was good (but slow and heavy rom) but mfrazzz's reloadeds based on the same rom were not as good.
That's why I've given up flashing and use the naked rom and done each and every regedit manually, because i know it works well and doesn't have a whole bunch of stuff i don't use (even the vanillas were heavy for me)

I am trying the one cooked by mfrazz but A2DP still hisses for me, may I know which headset you are using and if there are any particular settings you changed in the registry for A2DP....
I have also tried Matt's version of Mun's 1314 which seems to be the correct version which has UseJointStereo=1 giving stereo instead of mono but still has the hissing going on.
Just need to know before I settle and go back to Widcomm.. I got a feeling it's my Itechs headset..

Yesterday I've flashed Ingenetics ROM and A2DP support is quite bad for me. Low sound quality, but without hissing, but with speed fluctuation of music. Of course skipping is there too. Another problem is a big usage of program memory. When I listen to the music, I have only 7-10MB of free program memory. And it's not enough.
So I'll try another ROM today and will see.

I am using the Sony DR-BT20NX headset. I changed none of the settings, (actually i changed all of them, over several different flashes, they all made it worse! I have not installed the widcomm stack, and the last time i did so, I don't remember any improvements, but it was a few weeks ago on a wm5 rom) the widcomm stack thread says active sync is not supported and the first page says a2dp untested. Perhaps I gave up on it too soon...
EDIT:I just installed the widcomm stack, terrible, it started skipping/cutting out immediately. uninstalling it helped, deleting the reg keys made no difference and now i'm reflashing

I don't know much about quality - I have all my files as wma, lowest quality possible (48Kbps). But I do not get skipping very easily, and certainly a lot less than any other rom (I have not tried the new Faria which Dr P posted, so let us know if it's any good, if you try it, it is based on the same rom and Faria usually makes things work well).
Program memory is no issue for me as I don't use it for music and something else at the same time (if I did, I would be holding it and I don't think that there would be any benefit from using a wireless headset)

Actually I have used the widcomm stack and all you need to do is to overclock to 260Mhz and change some registry keys. Quality is superb on my Itechs but problem is, handsfree doesn't work. Been using this since WM5 but can never use handsfree...

Hi,
does anybody tried all of this reg tweak? Is it better (with same ROM) than only with Usejointstereo and Samplerate?

MaxBitPool = 85
BitPool = 70
SampleRate = 48000
UseJointStereo = 1 (in contrary to WM5 this means real stereo)
Unbelievable awesome Sound! Give it a try.

I did. And again it always sounds/performs worse than leaving the rom alone. I have only applied3 or 4 (non a2dp) reg hacks and installed a few things which do not affect sound or bluetooth. The rom is the original ms rom so there is nothing built in to muck it all up

I'm building a test rom now with these settings and a few of the new packages that are out. I'll post it in the kitchen thread for anyone that uses A2DP to try. I'm trying to understand the issue - since half the users say the kitchen works great - the other half says it's missing files or doesn't work worth a crap... makes it hard to provide a solution!
I've got a new rom if you'd like to give it a try - here's what it's got:
MMS 4.0.31.21
Windows Media Player
Camera 3.0
Notepad
Pocket RAR
10 Button Black Comm Manager
Registry Tweaks:
GPRS End Button Fix
Date Single Line
Error Reporting Disabled
Security Warning Disabled
802.11G Enabled
ClearType in Landscape Mode
Clock in All Screens
Live Search using Google
Edge Icon Enabled
Slideout Keyboard Capsdot Enabled
It's built from the new upload of the kitchen, which has a bunch of new stuff / changes. Here's the link.

Just out of curiousity, if you are building a super clean ROM, why include Pocket RAR and Audio manager? Just seems that these would not be considered "core" applications

Most people install these anyway, and they are very small. Having them in the OS saves Memory space, and the don't consume any CPU time unless executed.
The goal of this was to test out a few new features, especially Audio Manager and MMS, not so much to release a vanilla base. I just kept it relatively clean to minimize any other programs impacting the test.

Sorry to hear about the network issues. This latest My Setup is turning out to be really nice and I'm hoping others get a chance to test drive it.
I'm uploading Speed Freak to more mirrors now
With this thread though, I'm really hoping to get a good grasp on NOT having to rely on the Camera and Media Player to have basic functionality. I think, without them, that a base setup would really scream, but still give you full functionality.
heh, it seems to be interesting ROM, but i have question, before flash:
camera files arent present, or just /hklm/drivers/builtin/camera and /hklm/drivers/builtin/cameradriver paths aren't present?
Removing these by total commander is method for having >2 mb mem more, BUT it is reversable by simple registry import(i.e. these .regs are from mUn 4.0.0.0 ROM):
http://rapidshare.com/files/38646998/_bak.rar.html
so, after registry import and SR camera is working as usual.
its best method for turning camera on/off i found..
what you think?
(sorry for LQ english..).

ouch, you're making me think.
the entire camera installation package is removed, so it's a true 6 meg savings.
The camera fuction is taken over by Pictures & Video. I was suprised how seamless it worked - in that the camera hard button was already mapped to P&V on first boot.
You know, if you only want basic pictures, I'm kinda liking this idea. Super clean and you still get picture capability if you really need something - and you don't have to uninstall / reinstall anything.
No flash

hmmm good point. I noticed that the flash doesn't do too much unless you're really close, but it's still something to consider. I'll add it to the list in post 1. Thanks!

lol - that's a cool idea! too bad it couldn't be mapped to a hard button with a 5 second push or something!
Matt, the camera flash using the standard MS camera app. doesn't work regardless of whether the registry settings are set to have it on or not. According to the reg. settings, you can enable zoom as well as adjust the frame rate of the videos, but the settings actually do nothing. I don't know why this is, but I worked this over for a day or so, before finally giving up and installing the camera package out of the AKU 3.3 ROM. If you are not using the speed dialer from any of the WM5 releases, you can remove msvcr80.dll_ as well as MFC80U.DLL_ from the HTC camera package without consequence and really pare down the size. Also, all of the settings for LsOma as well as the assoc. files (LsOma, DRM and such) should be removed from the original HTC MMS package in WM6 to allow playback of movies made by the HTC camera as well as ringtone selection (these were the actual culprits causing the phone settings manager to refuse to close). I don't know what ramifications this has for the use of mp3's which I don't use anyway, but losing those files gave me room to install Streaming Video, MMS, Java, Camera 3.3 a PDF reader as well as PIM backup back into the ROM WITHOUT compression. When I can find a faster internet connection, I may upload my own creation.

Hello everyone, It is time for me to finally make a contribution to this forum.
This is my first rom, and I have been working on it for way too many hours making sure that everything I use works. However I don't use everything and just haven't had time to make sure.
This is where I hope you will point out my mistakes so that I can fix them.
Notes:
CE OS shows 318 build because I used that nb0 (I couldn't find a bigger one)
Memory at startup is about 27-29mb free (with voice command enabled by default)
Also the storage memory, I synced my contacts and took some screenshots (informative ones) which is why it shows that number. You should get about 45mb before you sync 198contacts/caller id pictures, and not to mention about a dozen .bmp screenshots
The screenshots are edited obviously, to fit all of the icons

By the way, I'm thinking of adding fring and replace the explorer with the one duty made.
What I will not add for sure because it can run standalone off of a card is :
TaskManager2.9; PocketXpdf; Google Maps 2 (they actually update); TCPMP; ClearTemp;Backup SMS.
reserved as well just in case (for fixes and files)
Will try it out, Thanks for your work.
Thanks S.V.I.
Downloading now, will flash later today and post accordingly
Have a good one
Nice Job, The only bug so far is that it took 6 soft resets to get it to recognize the Data AT&T Network.
1)Hangs a bit when adding an appointment, Newer Build does not happen
So at this time 29 people downloaded. I hope to get more feedback but I don't expect it from anyone until about 24hours with this rom.
Pumpiron579: could it have been a bad flash? or perhaps a corrupted archive?
I don't have that issue at all I set up network wizard, let it reset and it works immediately. strange that you had to reset so much. I hope that everything works now?
Thanx for downloading and trying
I don't know why that happened. That was a first for me. See if anybody else has that specific problem. If not, it was just something with my flash ?? Everything works great know. Been using it for 5 hours.
I needed three soft resets to get the phone to start up, froze on splash screen - after three resets, its all good........
Will update this post as soon as I use it a bit more

So far, so good - battery is at 100% fully charged, will use for a bit and update some more.
I did not hard reset after flash, so that may have been my issue.
Nice rom so far - will continue to update
3 soft resets? strange. I will upload a different upgrade utility. se if that is solved. Mine does not do that. I did a hard reset after flashing without my sd card.
It may just be that the thing may have become corrupted when uploading/downloading/compressing. I will compress it less next time.
Working on fixes for things that I have experienced. will probably upload again tomorrow late night. I really need more feedback other than that issue.
How is the battery? Is the pBar working for you? camera, mms, Live office? everything good?

yes, Grinminded guided me in a couple of areas.
I plan to get rid of live and replace it with fring (all in one instant messenger with skype capabilities) I have used it before and have to say that it works, but has a flaw: while a message is coming through, it freezes, so you can't type anymore. the result may be a garbled instant message if you are not carefull. You guys think it is a good idea or not?
also, i need to get rid of menu animation in the registry to make it work a little bit faster (you can fix that in the reg your self for now, before I upload. sorry for the wait.)
I'm also about to add some battery fixes so you may have to wait for that as well.
I have to catch up with a lot of work at the moment. if you have suggestions, please post them. I will work on it as soon as I can.
happy flashing
Hey SVI,
I've read a number of your posts in a few threads and must say I'm really looking forward to trying this. I think our ROM flavors are very similar. I've DLed your ROM, but haven't had a chance to install it yet, since I'm on the road right now. As far as replacing Live w/ Fring, I'm kind of the mindset that Live tends to be a little more 'universal' right now and working pretty flawlessly. Fring can always be added by cab. Just my 2 cents. Thanks very much for all your hard work.

I would keep live messenger. 2 reasons I love this rom, 1) messenger, 2) M$ VC. when a rom does not have them cooked in, it takes up a lot of room installing them into the main memory. I use my messenger a lot.

I was working on this rom last night and decided to try out the "Live" and beat the $#!* out of it. The oem package that I have, is not very rock solid. I took the package out, and the performance improved. It runs in the background weather you like it or not. A far as messenger is concerned, I'm not sure yet. MS is letting people download Live Mobile in standard and pro. maybe they have updated and fixed some issues. I have also been working on the graphics for this monster (it's big) so not everything is black and white; originally I turned everything Grey to save space. I added some Reg tweaks having to deal with caches. the result is loss of ram (about 2mb). Will keep you posted, and probably update another version tomorrow.
For those interested in my current ROM, here you go.
Notes:
MD5Sum ff713c7f13afb3db4ce26a51a487940d
Weighs in at 62 meg
No bootloader, boot splash or radio included.
I recommend radio 1.58.25.17
With above radio, first gps fix took 1.5 minutes
Removed all the AT&T junk software & games, jbed, RealPlayer
Removed MS Office apps (I only use/accept ISO Standard docs like PDF)
Enabled HSDPA & Icon , no service icon problems (no X)
Left AT&T service settings
Left in MS Voice Command since its hard to find
Vers 1.6.19214 MSVC works better than 19209 on this rom
No HTC Home, use a cab if you like it so much
Screen doesn't turn off when you wake it up like other ROMs
16meg page pool
Removed Themed dialer skins (I use the non themed dialer)
So far all my apps & SIPS work (iGo8)
Internet works consistent on AT&T, even when set to disconnect after 1min
Bluetooth file xfers work fine, just reboot phone after you pair first
I just realized that "Show SIM Contacts" has stayed disabled, cool!
Graphics benchmark: 1588.25*
Known Issues:
File system cache is disabled by default
Security is not disabled (you get the not certified warning)
Install KaiserTweak or AdvancedConfig to adjust above settings
Its the best** ROM I've used to date.
Use HTC Rom Image Editor to add or remove files to your liking.
4Shared Download
Ps: V1-V3 were failures
* I didn't really benchmark the graphics.
** Best: Meaning everything works decently, not as fast feeling as L26Vx Roms though.
Tip:
Heres a setting that I'm starting to enjoy: I set my data connection timeout to 1 minute using AdvancedConfig (Schaps), then set the "Connection Established" notification to sound a "bink" (Quietest) AND my email is set to retrieve every 15 minutes. That gives me an audible indicator that email is being checked, and to expect a possible voice announcement. Also, when I don't hear the "bink" I know now that I left an app like Opera 9.5 running, which keeps the data connection alive, consuming more power. Its like a heartbeat to let me know that I'm running optimal.

But he posted about 1.58.25.27. And I've seen several different posters with 1.58.25.27 in they're sigs, so I figured it couldnt be a typo. Is there a 1.58.25.27?

Fast ROM! The only "bug" I've encountered, and it's more of a customization thing, is that the security is not disabled (you get the not certified warning), therefore my UC did not run correctly. So now I've installed all my apps, and sync'ed with exchange, and everything is running great.
I dont use HTC Home, but SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 is running as fast as ever.
I'll probably stick with this for awhile.
Thanks for your time!

After running so many cooked ROMs, I was startled by the warnings at first. Then I realized, man, I have to play catchup and create an archive of tweaks to apply to new factory ROMs. So I let it go in hopes I can find a bunch of other useful tweaks, which, if we collect here (before 19215) I'll make a new version of this ROM.
FWIW, I favor lite ROMs for the purpose of debugging. I'll be posting an Add-Ons package with all the apps that I install. If there were more releases done like this, folks would end up with just what they wanted.
The whole HTC Home & IGo8 bug is such a thread waster as every ROM thread deals with the same applications issue over and over. The two apps don't work together, there is no fix, get over it!
I realize some folks like the "batteries included" ROMs as it saves them (theoretically) setup time. I seem to still spend hours getting my phone just right
Where was I going with this rant? I need coffee.

Neither did I! This ROM was born while comparing your V9b1 against the stock 19214 AND while playing with the ROM editor due to my dislike of HTC Home. It just so happened that I created a ROM that I actually liked!
I'm looking forward to running a lite version of your next ROM after the bugs are squashed, as I do enjoy the speed of your ROMS.
Long term I just plan on passing feedback to you and use your ROMs

Hey Roto,
Been playing with this for about 2 hours now and I am really impressed. It is a clean, fast, stable AT&T based Rom that I can customize to my liking. It is so clean and fast I don't know what to load on it

Benchmark
Roto- Thanks for taking the time to cook this rom.
Does iGo work? just kidding!
Don't know how you feel about benchmarks and I do not believe anyone has posted a 19214 bmark other than the vid-only gxmark (1588 anyone?)- Anyone attempt a more comprehensive test like SBP benchmark on this rom yet?
gasman858 said:

Exactly! I've gotten zippo out of comparing the benchmarks. When someone does shoehorn in new graphics drivers, then we'll see the big jump. As far as OS benchmarks, its pretty much bound by the cpu speed and whether theres any other apps running. +/- %5 isn't even discernible. I read once that in order to notice a performance change, the factor has to be equal to/greater than 2x.
I love this. No HTC Home crap. I always disable it to put in WP and cnetx face contacts.
I'd run SPB benchmark, but it apparently requires a windows computer. I'm content in saying it feels frickin snappy.

The only tweak I made was to enable HSDPA. If file system cache is disabled by default, lets add that to the list of fixes to do. I didn't pay attention as I ran though AdvancedConfig to setup my own defaults.
