Sorry for my English and i wish you a lot of fun with the rom
* Dont Flash this Rom... To many Bugs. sorry guys *
Congratulations on your first ROM!!!!!!
Have you included any of the fixes for the bugs that have been found in Gnatgosplat's ROM? I would like to try yours but would prefer to install a "fixed" version.
Thanks for having my name mentioned here. It wasnt anything much that I do. Thank you BlackDragon.
This isnt my first time flashing ROM but this time around I am faced with TeraTerm issue. I get the response "Cannot Connect" when setting up the TeraTerm connection. I Hard reset my device, Clean Storage and yet I still get the same response. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Thankx Man!!

Try a different computer. Run disk cleanup. Then try setting up Tera Term.
Just a thought
WM 6.1 Vanilla......How about some screen shots?

Unfortunately I dont have another computer. I am working from home.
"Disk cleanup" does that mean reformat the hard disk??

Ensure your Tornado is in 3-colour mode
And i wonder whether you can find the "usb" in the "Serial" option.
If not, you can choose any such as "com1", and click ok: donot close TeraTerm.exe.
Open another TeraTerm.exe, and then you can see the "usb" in "Serial" option, choose "usb": before clicking "OK", close the first TeraTerm.exe application.
In this way, i think your problem can be handled.

Everytime I wanted to flash I followed KarHoe's guide to the book just to ensure I dont miss anything out; dont want to brick my precious Tornado though. Yes the device is in 3-color mode. And there is "usb" in the "serial" option of TeraTerm.
I tried your suggestion but Unfortunately i still "cannot open"...
Thanks for the help anyway.

I will post pics once I solve my flashing problem. But hope someone can do it before I do.

I take it Tera Term is just not able to find the phone. Try unuinstalling active sync and reinstalling active sync. I think it has some thing to do with your PC not reading your phone. If you can get it into bootloader, you should be able to flash something on it.
Don't forget to unselect "Allow USB Connections" in ActiveSync before you use TeraTerm!!
THANKS to all you guys...
My heart-felt thanks to all you fantastic guys. Firstly to Blackdragon_860 who worked tirelessly through the day and night to release this fantastic ROM. (I know, as I do, we, ROM junkies were eagerly waiting for a refreshed ROM to be flashed). Secondly to all you guys out there who provided suggestions on how to solved my TeraTerm issue. Also to those who symphatised with me. THANKS! You guys are
I somehow managed to get TeraTerm to connect I did two things. First in Settings>Connections>USB to PC>set to off. I also switched the usb port. So I cant exactly determine which of these two solved my problem.
and here are some stats and pics.
Available Storage: 18.52
Total Storage: 20.94
Available Memory: 27.17
Total Memory: 48.68
Not much different from Gnat's ROM.
I havent really played around with it yet so cant say what's missing or any bugs around.
The significant additions (as far as i am concerned) are the modified *.cpr file (that control how the homescreen is displayed) and the bronzeres.dll which contains the pics for the homescreen. This bronzeres.dll had more than 100 pics instead of the original which only had about 80. (I found this file elsewhere in this forum; thanks to the contributor). If you want to view the content of the bronzeres.dll, download PE Explorer and install to your pc (please google for it).
Attached are the pics.
THANKS AGAIN TO ALL!!
Sorry Guys, i was sleeping..
Illi, Good that you solved your problem and thank you very much for your screens.
I dont know really what for bugs have gnagnosplat's rom. Perhaps someone can write that here and i would show to fix that.
What i can say is, that the rom very fast and stable is
But what i doesnt make in that rom is, to install other software. This rom must remain clean. The full rom, would have the tools that you have postet in the other thread.
Blackdragon
Problem
I think most, if not all, bugs in GnatGoSplat's ROM is with this ROM too. Eg. WMP full-screen does not "sick" after a few seconds it reverts to default screen. Not only that, I am being "kicked" out of applications unexpectedly. The appman.exe seems to have shortage of memory to run programs.
System error:
"Cannot start 'appman.exe'. A critical component is either missing or failing due to low memory"
So, I would suggest those who intend to flash this ROM but havent done so, please hold back. Do not flash yet until I am sure its not the ROM but my apps installation. BTW I didnt install that many and they were the same apps that I installed when I was with Gnat's ROM.
@Blackdragon_860 - I am sorry, looks like you need to get back to the re-cooking. But we must determine the problem first. I am still testing.
A heads up for you guys, since you would probably like this functionality for your Vox's.

is this working on the Vox? I don't get it installed due to "not enough system permissions"

Hmm... You guys tried unlocking your phone with the "SDA Unlocker" app floating around ? That should do the trick.

I did it also, but nothing happened
it may interest all you vox owners (like myself), that I have looked thru the coding of that cab and have been coding all the nessesary bits for it to work on our phones. I'm still working on the cpr file (the one that positions everything), and then I will cab it all up. im still trying to contact the developer to see if he knows whys its not installing thou (and to make sure its okay to poke around in his file!)
EDIT>>
I've just noticed the developer has changed his use of the TestUIPlugin slide for the use of the welcome screen slide, due to reliability and positioning, BUT I personally use the welcome slide for shortcuts, and have had no issues with the testuiplugin slide, plus I notice the welcome screen cannot refresh like the testui one can, so i'm sticking with it. If anyone is interested in my cpr file, or others, I can post them.
Kos letme know when your cab is ready...
thank you
So.. is it possible to install the weather plugin on the Vox? Please post the cpr file or whatever is needed to install it.
If you go the original thread in the Excalibur forum, you can download the cab there and install it on your Vox. It uses the WelcomeCenter plugin which is already properly formatted for the Vox as well. Go download it and try it
I tried every version posted in the Excalibur thread and it doesn't install. It says i don't have sufficient permissions. Rebooted, tried again and still nothing...
EDIT: Found the original version and it still does not install...

The solution I found to make it work is to install everything manually including the creation of the registry keys... :| :S ....but it works now ;P
Well, now I have an issue: everytime the weather updates, my start menu dies...it just stops working...
You guys should try unlocking your device with the SDA Unlocker app that's floating around. That will most definitely do the trick.

until now everything looks good even in portrait mode...the only issue that sometimes happens is that when I update the weather, sometimes the start menu stops working...I click in the start menu and nothing happens...I have to reboot to make it work again...
Hi everyone. After reading some of the expert advice on this forum I decided to root my magic last week. Everything went well, backed up with nandroid and installed the fatility hero rom 1.4. This rom is great but due to the 192mb of ram on the 32b board its too laggy for my use (im too impatient!).
Problem is i have accidentally deleted my nandroid backup! Anyone give me a link to an original UK Vodafone rom or nandroid backup? I dont even know if its possible to use a backup from another phone but heres hoping!
my advice;
go to settings > applications > manage applications > touchFLO
scroll down to "clear defaults", click it
hit the home button, you'll get a little option screen pop up.
Press the "remember this" or "always use" tickbox (can't remember the exact phrase)
The click Home, rather than TouchFLO
You now have all the benefits of the Hero rom (multi touch browser, flash support) but without the laggy interface.

Yeah I tried that and upped the size of the swap but it still freezes way too much! The worst part was receiving calls the trackball flashes but nothing on screen or ringing for bout 10-15 seconds! So anyone got a link foe me? Cheers in advance.
I'm not sure where to find it, but you could try the New European ROM from Smartphone France or nk02's ION r4, which are both very fast and does not have the problems with not beeing able to recieve calls and so on.

Well, my beloved Wing kicked the bucket last night, and I am without a phone. Before it died I had managed to finish up my Wing development environment which contained a stripped down (meticulously stripped by me) version of the official T-Mobile Wing OEM and a 21051 sys/xip.
This Kitchen is based on the "JustMe" Kitchen by ivanmmj (Thanks Ivan!!) - with all of the bugs fixed. It supports XPR and LZX compression and has a built in configuration section.
To use the kitchen, unzip the files to your hard drive and run the file "StartKitchen.bat". You will be presented with the choice of setting configuration options or building your ROM.
BY default, the Kitchen will output a very basic ROM with a full version of WM 6.1 21051/21051. The only things left from the original T-Mobile OEM are HTC camera, ArcSoft MMS, and other little HTC system utilities like "clearstorage". The only things added to the OEM are HTC Task Manager 2.1, a 6 button Green comm manager that matches the Default Green Windows mobile 6.1 theme, a couple of essential reg tweaks, and Dummy SQM.
I would post screen shots of the ROM, but I was not able to take any before my phone crapped out.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cooking with Holly's Kitchen
If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, UAC will cause this kitchen to break. Disable it before running the kitchen.
Extract the archive to one of your hard drives - preferably in the root like "c:\"
Browse to the root of the kitchen (EXAMPLE: c:\hollyskitchen) and launch the file called "StartKitchen.bat"
Press "2" and hit [ENTER] to start the build
A program called BuildOS will appear. Press the > button near the top left.
Watch the progress at the bottom of the window. When BuildOS finishes, close it.
The build will continue automatically. If you are using LZX compression, hex editor program will automatically open and close.
The page pool changer application will open. Click on the select button, and browse to the BUILD folder of the kitchen (EXAMPLE: c:\hollyskitchen\working_folder\build\) and select the file "os.nb"
Select the page pool size you want and click on the "Change To" button. Close the page pool changer application.
The HTC ROM tool will be launched. The configuration should already be populated. Click on the "Build!" button.
Browse to the BUILD directory (EXAMPLE: c:\hollyskitchen\working_folder\build), choose a file name for your ROM and click on "Save"
Close the HTC ROM tool
The script then automatically copies your nbh file from the BUILD directory to the flash (EXAMPLE: c:\hollyskitchen\working_folder\flash) directory.
You will be asked if you want to flash your ROM. If you answer "y" and your ROM was successfully copied to the flash directory, you should be ready to flash your newly built ROM.
Now that you have successfully operated the kitchen, you can go back and edit the OEM directory (EXAMPLE: c:\hollyskitchen\working_folder\OEM) and and remove applications to your ROM.
Good luck!
You can download the kitchen here:

I'm gonna look at this, see if I can learn how to work it. Sounds interesting.
Sorry to hear that the Wing is dead
MegaUpload is super-slowwww and just generally sucksss
Too bad SkyDrive is limited to 50 MB. This is just too slow...1 hour...25 KB/s....terrible...hopefully the kitchen is better!

It should have that filled in automatically.
Choose "Herald*"
You can also try to open the project file, which should fill in everything for you. To do that click on the little "l" buton near the bottom, browse to the build folder under (hollyskitchen\working_folder\) and choose the file called "build.htcrtproj".
Here is a screenshot of what the settings should be...

I extracted my kitchen to a computer that has not run the kitchen before and the HTC ROM tool worked fine. I'm not sure how you got that error.
Anyway, I edited the first post with a step-by-step guide. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Yay, a good guide. I'll try it out again. I think it's working right now though...It's on the white screen, saying, "Building NBH". Been there for a while.
I don't get the Herald option as a device. Only the ARTE1000.

Uninstall all. Than install the Patch at first and Softreset than Install HDwall and than try to install wallpaper!
Did you make the wallpaper by yourself?
Maybe its CFC compressed and you needit uncompressed. Or it is Uncompressed adn you need it compressed!
Wich profile you use in HDwall to make cabs?
No i'm just using ones i've downloaded from from here, i'll try the advise you've just given and see if that works.

Hi
I had the same problem with HDWallS.
Eventually I gave up. Ultimately the HDWall cabs can all be installed directly via file manager/Resco/etc.
HDWallS is simply a nice interface for browsing. Viewing thumbnails in Resco pretty much does the same thing.
When you try to install the cab (NOT via HDWallS) does it install ok?
The error is occurring because your phone is still prompting you to allow the installation of unsigned apps. Because the wallpaper CAB is an "unsigned app" and HDWalls doesn't know how to interact with the prompt, you just get the error message.
Try enabling unsigned apps through either BSB Tweaks or HD2Tweak (at least one of them, if not both - can make the necessary registry change; unfortunately I cannot remember off the top of my head which it is).
I just tried that, and I still get the error message...
