-- 05 July 2007 ---
Update: I have attached the theme and image files used in this theme.
Notes:
First of all, THIS IS A THEME FOR WAD (Wisbar Advance Desktop). If you don't know how to use WAD. Please, don't bother using this. Everything will just become much more difficult for you. WAD complicates things if you don't know what you're doing. But if you're really interested, play around with it, I'm sure you're gonna love it and realize that it actually makes things easier and more beautiful. If you really can't figure it out, then WAD is simply not for you.
And as I mentioned, it's still under construction and incomplete.
I made this for people who prefers to use WM5 for its stability but is forced to use WM6 because they hate the way WM5 looks. But you can also use this theme on WM6 devices that uses WAD.
These theme is designed for VGA devices, particularly the Universal (Everything will be bigger and misaligned with QVGA devices)
I've also included icons/images that are not being used by the theme that you may be interested to use in your own customization. All images are on the \Common Images folder.
Images that I used on this theme are not all mine. Most them are found courtesy of Google Images, some of them found on other forums. I just modified them to become 32bit tga files compatible with WAD's support for transparencies. If you found images that I shouldn't be using, just tell me and will remove it.
Feel free to tell me what's good and what sucks. I don't care how you say it, I'm used to criticisms. :þ
Installation Instructions:
Remove all your today plugins on the today screen. Just add them later on on the WAD screen.
Install WAD* on your device memory (not Storage/Storage Card). Everything will run a lot smoother and problem free this way.
*(not included in this package, it's not a free app. get in on the Lakeridge website)
The zip file contains 2 folders, Extract them on your Universal's \Themes\Desktop directory. (Yes, overwrite the Common Images folder, this one has everything that that folder has)
Go to the Theme Manager. Make sure you select Vista on both Landscape and Portrait modes.
Enjoy. :þ And be amazed how smooth it works. And see that it actually only uses around 1Mb of RAM. :þ
Important:
Most icons point to apps that I use, that you possibly don't have. You have to change some icons to point to something else.
eg.
Media Player opens up CorePlayer
Internet Explorer opens up Opera Browser
Dictionary opens up Lexisgoo... etc.
-- 04 July 2007 ---
So everybody's crazy over WM6 eh? So what's with WM6 that we don't have on WM5?
Html formatting on Outlook Mobile (we could get several other messaging apps that can do that right?)
Smart search on contacts and Outlook Mobile.. yeah this is awesome..
docx and xlsx file support.. I don't use Office 2007 yet anyways
High Res on PIE? Well.. Opera does it far better! or you can use PIE Plus. (Helmi's WM5 AKU3.5 1.3.1 has PIE High Res support)
And finally.. better looking taskbar and icons! Now this, I may be able to offer a possible solution. ;þ
I was so addicted over WM6 lately until I recently discovered this app called WAD (Wisbar Advance Desktop). It is one of the most fully customizable skinning apps for the PPC around. It has the full capability of replacing your today screen (It's possible to have multiple virtual pages). And even hide the taskbar and sofkeys. Giving you a full screen of beauty. And guess what, unlike it's sibling WA (Wisbar Advance). It does not eat too much RAM nor slow the PPC down.
Since I use WM5, I realized I don't need to worry about video call or any bugs.. Suddenly.. I don't like WM6 anymore. ;þ
I personally does not use WA, it really really slows everything down esp. on our devices since we have VGA. VGA = bigger images.. and if the skinner did not compress the image files to it's maximum, it will really eat up ur RAM. But WAD is a different story.. you gotta try it too see for yourself.
Here are samples screenies:
OLD IMAGES REMOVED
Note: The available program memory on the lower right is real. Although the only currently open app that time was the Screen capture utility and Outlook Mobile.
I'm using Jwright's 1.90.96 WM5 AKU3.2 ROM.
The theme is still under construction. My goal is to put everything I need on this screen so I would no longer need to use the "real" Start Menu.
Every icon/button reacts to screen taps. Docks are all trasluscent the way they should be. I'm also doing my best to make sure the images are the smallest size as possible (using 32bit/24bit TGA format compressed RLE) for it not to consume too much RAM.
If demands are high, I'll give you guys a copy when it's completely done.
P.S.
WAD is not a free software. If you can get it free, then that's no longer my concern. All I will provide is the theme.
WAD is not for everybody. It's only for people who wants to get full visual tweaking for their PPC's. If you're satisfied with the built-in today screen, then WAD is pointless for you.
But here's a tip, WAD consumes less RAM and processing time than most Today plug-ins.
That looks fantastic, nice work!
Just a question - what would happen if you tried using True VGA mode with that skin, say, using oZVGA or something like that?
Awesome!
What is the difference between WA and WAD? How much Memory does it need to run it?
Looks nice by the way. I myself use Helmi's 3.5 v1.3.1
You can go here to see the difference between WA and WAD : http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/index.php
Beautifull skin DaVince ... Could you upload it when you'll finish it ? Thx !!
Can you provide us step by step instruction...
wow, awesome job mate!
Well that sure looks sweet..
but a few things i've always hated with WM5:
-it's impossible to simply add a new number to a contact from the call list.. you could only save it as a new contact alltogether.
-send/receive business cards always worked funny.
-Contacts seemed isolated from Call history.. while with WM6, you can see the last call from a contact, group the calls from the contact, etc.. all with a click.
there's no denying that WM6 at the current form needs a lot of work to clean up, and i'm personally getting frustrated seeing 4-5 different ROMs up as stickies, and 20 other options below.. and each one has its own problem

I personally use WA (as an OEM) and Pocket Breeze (as a cab), works great for me.
nice!
Would u like to share this skin?
I hate all decorations. and other husks. I felt that the beauty of the operating system is not important ... important that os is worked ... and worked steadily. everything else does not matter. the reason for my move to WM6 was no rush for decorations and the beauty of a humdrum desire to be in front of the whole world // сиречь просто хотел померяцца письками с другими кпкодами .. до сих пор сидящими на вм3 и вм5
Well Written DaVince. After all wm5 used by you is steady and best and just tweak it and you have a better deal than wm6 for the time being.
sorry double post. deleted
First post updated, theme attached
Hi guys,
First post updated, theme attached. Hope you like it. For those who doesn't, that's what I thought about WAD too at first.. until I actually tried it.

Hi there aniel. I still thank you for being the one responsible of giving me a copy of Jwright's WM5 ROM. WM5 isn't really better than WM6, but it's a lot more stable and bug free. Not to mention every feature works like they should be (eg. Video Call, Wifi). That's the reason I'm sticking to WM5.

Oh yes kitchens! I like 'em too. A great way to save Storage memory by adding them via OEM on the ROM itself. Wish we had that on WM5... btw, WA uses too much memory.. around 3Mb on VGA skins.. totally unacceptable.

WA skins the taskbar, uses around 3Mb of RAM on VGA skins. WAD skins the today screen, uses around 1Mb (or more, if you add more objects esp if the images are not well compressed).
ok you convinced me: only thing is that I can't tolerate having a today screen without spb pocket plus since I have many many progs and need to have easy, rapid and accessible shortcuts..but this will surely give my uni a boost of life, looking like a vista based umpc..so guess I'll try it soon..as soon as it's completed!
daVince, we should really duck to you!
Have just downloaded WAD and installed your theme! Looks really good and the ram usage really low. I am using WM6 and getting around 25mb of free memory when running. GOOD WORK!
i can`t seem to run WAD without running Wisbar advance, what am i doing wrong.....
Kind DaVince,thx for sharing

I hate SPB pocket plus.. it uses too much resources.
But guess what. Icons used by Pocket Plus are completely compatible with WAD! Just make your own shortcuts using Pocket Plus' icons if you want! Give it a shot first.. play around with it.

Just Go to Programs and open up Wisbar Advance Desktop. Or copy that shortcut on your \Windows\Startup folder.
and what about spb diary? is there a way I can manage to have it accessed within 1 or 2 clicks? sorry for asking so many stupid questions but usability goes first, then comes appearance!

Great Job NTS, Fast for sure. One small item. You have the older "Windows Live" still on, no big deal, I just updated it. You really outdone yourself with the cingular NTS settings cab. After I install that, I have a 5 bar salute. and that is on any rom that I have flashed.
looks good stuff! lets try
i have only one problem at now with this rom.
when i try to install a new keybddr.dll for correct my keyboard layout.
all my hard buttons stop to work, my screen stop to turn when the hard keyboard is open, and all the shortcutes on start menu begins with a "&"
hey looks awesome will download now.
One question though what are the "Standard NTS Rom Tweaks"? Meaning what reg tweaks are built in and what have been left out but are still recomended.
Oh and one more thing whats the page memory on this rom??
Anyway still want to thank Nottoosmart for all his hard work in releasing this rom.

But other than that I love everything ESPECIALLY tetris. Thats like the best part
Hi,
Does it have this problem?
The base rom has a bug / feature where if GPRS is active, unanswered calls may not show up as a missed call and may not give notification of the unanswered call. If this happens, the unanswered call shows up in the history as an answered call with a duration of 1 or 2 seconds.
This is making me nuts, i cannot afford to miss call notifications
The only roms without this problems are TNT based so far...

In short, no. The camera hardware is still 1.3MP.
3.0 refers to the version of the Camera software.

Ok, WHAT???? I have no idea about this. This is the first time ive heard of anyone having to load a DLL to correct Keyboard layout. Have you check to see what the code is for reg to make it have your correct layout. I know for US its 0409. Check to see if Brazil has one. It might be easier and may not have the aweful effect you are having with the ROM

You need to make sure your Carrier settings are setup correctly. You would be the first that would not be able to do that on a rom I have released.
As for tetris, I miss the music, but the game is fun.

Thnx man your the best. I am flashing now to try it out.
One question though have you ever used PointUI ? I have downloaded it n tried using it myself and really like the style and simplicity of it. Is there anyway u can cook it into any future releases n kinda somehow make it the only thing shown without all the regular today screen and such. Ofcourse only after they figure out how to get the hardware buttons working though. But still its something I hope u keep in mind for future ideas
Thanks again
Another download link or mirror apart from rapidshare wud be highly helpful and appreciated.Cud plz someone upload to any other site for download.

Well it took some time and a couple of hundred Flashes.
But i wanted to make something no one has ever seen before.
And after seeing Schapps new Project and some old app called MortButtons. I thought, hey i can do something like that. And there was some more stuff that i wanted to try out, to extend how a rom is cooked.
So before the final version of the new Surface Rom, which will be differently skinned and maybe lose some apps or gain some.
Welcome to what i have carefully named Project ELFOLUTION.
Install Network Wizard SD before flashing

Menu 5 is empty to configure as you like.
Slide from Quarter of botton screen to top to browse through to next page if a menu has more entries.
Slide from top to bottom to exit Menu.
You'll be used to it in no time and wondering why you were fumbling with your touch all the time.
To change Menu's Slide Bottom Up, Slide Right to Left, Press Accessories, Press Extra Menu's , Press Setup Menu's
Use any skin you like and try the different Menu animation, i'm not using cube because it is slower.

And there's Skins for the Buttons to

I'll Post the packages for the skins included in the Official Mort Buttons release.
Oh and don't go installing the cab over the rom installation.
I'll make specific Cab files not to screw up the configuration with eventual updates.
And hopefully this will encourage people to submit some more Skins to

hehe, looks like noonski already beat me to the screenshot. but wait there is a little hidden magic behind those various wallpapers in each screenshot above....and so these jump in to give u some clues as to whats behind the touchy curtains of Mort Buttons Configuration
now this was ma favourite....the rom flash completion message is so unique... (big grin smiley)
Noonski Edit: The idea came from Ababrekar, and it actually really only shows after the Mort install script in the background finished.
Part of the cleanliness of the mort install script that runs in the background is what makes the Rom Still Fast despite being filled with Bloot.(if you can call it that.

And after seeing Schapps new Project and some old app called MortButtons. I thought, hey i can do something like that. And there was some more stuff that i wanted to try out, to extend how a rom is cooked.
So before the final version of the new Surface Rom, which will be differently skinned and maybe lose some apps or gain some.
Welcome to what i have carefully named Project ELFOLUTION.
Publish Date NEXT SUNDAY.

First of all, thanks a lot ! Like all Noonski'roms, I try this one too
Just to inform you that I have an error after the customization and reboot.
"Couldn't write file \WIndows\AppButtons\Contacts.lnk"

I flash with card inside, and reboot always connected to PC. Perhaps that's why I have this warning
BTW, I love the look my Elf have now

How do you mean HovacNL?
More Apps PFew Addict. And enjoy your trip.
The error does no harm.
It's the last line of Install script, so it does not mess with the previous lines
It was a test, i posted it to the development thread but not here.
The build i have now does not have that error.
And it's not sunday yet.... This was still a nightly.
I have decided on keeping one Menu Blank to be configured for your personal needs.
You know like favourite settings Extra installed Apps or Web shortcuts.
This version is missing a lot of the new icons fro the menu, It's a no worries build, well except for that Diamond Keyboard. (haven't had the time to do the research on Gullum's Diamond Keyboard.
Ah well at least opening HTC Album from Camera works. (Go, HTCTouchP for that Camera)
Hey Noonski Awesome
My latest release is on Diamon 20273 XIP. It is even more stable Can you PM me the SPC password, the server address and login details too? (Formatted my PC so lost everything) I'll up the XIP on server
You left the double slash in WriteFile, so the error

Best luck for u all Surface Team .

The Sys files hold most of the core applications you always see.
These rarily get updated that much and (when was the last time the calander changed?)
Changed are so small and unnoticeable in SYS that upgrading is not worth it.
The XIP however holds some of the most important files that Windows CE run on. NK.exe Device.exe and some others. But these are the parts you don't mess around with and between new builds most changes occur in these files.
As for OEM files again these are rarily updated like the SYS, but since most HTC applications are in this section you will find that more files get updated in the OEM files.
Also using full SYS and OEM from a VGA device even if it's newer isn't the best way to go. Yes it will work. But most resource files like .DLL carry extra Graphics for that higher resolution. Yes they also hold regular QGVA graphics, so they will work.
The files themselves just for this reason are bigger. And since the files hold more information, in microseconds it will still take longer to read through the file, and it might take a bit more memory remembering and storing the used Resource from these files.
But the XIP section is as far as i understand resolution independent.
There's a lot we can do in OEM and SYS to squeeze performance but there's not a lot to tweak in XIP as this quickly becomes system critical.
Just try to kill device.exe or nk.exe in a good taskmanager, you'll see how important it is
But this is just what i know (think) globally.
got it, thankx for the nice explanation. now i m impressed to try new builds

Euhm, it's not skinned yet that's why it's a unskinned public preview.
The skinner ran of with a Playmate to Hawai
It's currently running Triple Darkness Skin.
Beside the whole interface adepts to whatever Theme you use.
I believe there's a screenshot fanaddict that will post a few screens. Or i will make some new ones later in the night.
Maybe ayyu3m will make a few screenshots of all the update Menu's and home screen with his favorite personal theme. (diamond Theme does not fit with HTCHome and BTstatus at that spot.)
Or better yet why don't some of you post your Fav Themes?
how can i improve the communication manager a bit? it shows only 3 buttons. & advanced configuration tool also didnt help.
& i more thing after opening the bluetooth explorer the warning is shown in some language other than english.
nice rom anywez........
Noonski Edit: Question added to Future FAQ
Commmanager functions will move to the Endkey which isn't finished yet.
(Was planning to do that after finishing this build)
So it might be i will have to switch to 6 button commanager in final version.
It was sort of a Proof of Concept that even Commanager can be integrated into the menu system.
Basicly the new Endky Commanager will be nothing more then 24 different version of the same menu and 24 scripts to control them.
Or maybe if i'm lucky i only need 24 scripts.
Button runs script, Script starts service, Script renames menu (or writes next menu from thin air) then restarts the newly renamed/created menu with the ON/OF State. As you can see i'm not a programmer as this could propably be done differently.
Would be even nicer if Mort Buttons would get additional function to Show Up or Down state of a button depending on a registry key.
(hard work for Mort less for me )
So depending on how long final skinning is going to take i might even have it finished.
Yup Bluetooth explorer need to replace the MUI file, good find, easy fix, This was the version i used from The Piko Crew which will be doing the german version. I have WWE version in stock Added to To Do.
Also the Commmanager used is the actuall Windows Mobile Commmanager, it's always been in the Roms as wrlmgr.exe (wonder why some people don't take it out if they are using HTC commmanager)

Suweeeeet .. downloading now .. will post after flashing it my elfin tomorrow.
just flashed it, looks great love the cube!
Noonski Edit: Put Similar Question and A into Future FAQ
Yeah i removed the cube animations from the Menu, but it seams you read up a bit and found the way to change this.
(Cube animation sometimes takes a few seconds to start because it has to to more calculations)
Also one of the reasons i chose to start Taskmanager is because it confronts a user with the fact that Stuff is already running before you start more apps. The only thing that BTstatus X button is good for now is to controll the Long Tapp of X button to close
Don't mind the memory i had all the apps open.
Hey ayyu3m, how's it looking when you set it to use you Che Backdrop?
flashed it.. looks great only when I push start, programs all is empty....start, settings is OK.... how come
Noonski Edit: Added to Future FAQ
Just wondering what ROMS people have on their Wings & Heralds. .
What they have modded in their Wings and Heralds.
What programs you have installed on your phone.
Where they found their ROMS.
What they plan on flashing next.
And maybe a screenshot of the ROM they are using.
For me I chose Ace's Glass V. 10 ROM.

Im useing my own ROM running wm 6.5.1 23047 THANKS TO IVANMMJ Superjustkitchen! striped to my needs with spb mobile shell 3.5
Would you be willing to share your rom with XDA? Idk.. I use Megaupload to upload files.
Well, you can get Google Maps from google...just download it from them directly....and Twobile is just a twitter client, but it allows you delete your own tweets and search for users and stuff, but it looks terrible so for most twitter stuff I use pocketwit.

Honestly, I don't use many programs. I'm always flashing stuff too often to settle down with some apps!
But Opera Mini 5 is always a must for my Wing, and SkyFire is always good. Umm, PHM Registry Editor for editing the registry (duh, heh), and then yea, that's about it.
And some of my favorite games for the Wing are in the Games Section. I don't do too much gaming though.
Ah. Makes sense really.
I never thought about it like that. Not being able to settle down with any programs.
I'd like to know what programs and ROM Ivan is using right now too.

Hah I think Ivan uses his own ROM And Ivan owns a Android phone, so that's his primary phone...I bet he could tell you some great Andriod apps!
Oh and Pandora is of course awesome for the Wing, forgot that.
I love Pandora too though, I would also like to really see more mmorpgs, rpgs and more adventure games for the windows mobile like they did when WM was named pocket pc.
What games have you guys also played on your devices?
I had Syberia 1 & 2, Fade and Warspear. I think I may download and share em.

Although technically not a development thread, I'll allow this thread to stay here for now.
As far as what ROM I use, I have a G1 running a slightly modified version of Cyanogemod 4.2.5.
My Wing just gets flashed with whatever build I'm testing at the moment. (For example, right now it has 28002 WM6.5.3) (Yes, the numbers are right. )

Thanks for keeping this thread open. You see I think that for most people that come here they'll need to see what people have flashed with. Also, you and Ace and other cooks can see what ROMs are popular.

OOOOHHHH Ivan that sounds awesome! I can't wait for a release of that!
My Wing
I am currently running Apreichner's FingerMe 0.2 WM 6.5 with the following added to the ROM after install:
Hero Clock
Office Mobile
Facebook
A few games for my daughter
LinkMgr
Microsoft My phone
MyCalculator
MyMobiler
Pandora
Skyfire
Wing Linux
With all programs loaded I am still at a healthy 17.92 MB free in storage and 13.05 MB free in Program memory. Working great. Only Skyfire has given me any sort of trouble so far. Love this ROM.
I have a few screen shots of the WM side of things but didn't realize that MyMobiler needed an active sync connection so I have no screen shots of the Android side of my phone. The Wing Linux version I am using is 0.4.1 I believe. Haven't downloaded the latest cab they just released days ago.
Thanks again to Apreichner for the slick ROM and to Darkstar for the hard work porting Android over to our Wing's. Love this site, been a watcher until now. Will always watch as long as I have my Wing.

Please kindly add the fix registry cabs for Treo Pro, and the Net CF 3.5; then it would be a perfect stripped ROM. I found that I could not install Net CF 3.5 on your ROM. Don't know why, the remain things seem fine until now (3 hours after installation). Thanks.

hey morning/evening berdinkerdickle,
I am very glad to see your stripped GSM TreoPro 6.1 ROM comes out, in fact, I am dealing with the same thing on a Chinese forum, and after low-memory-costing ROM published, I moved to OEM package design.
It could be much more logical for us to publish OEM packages instead of custom roms, one reason is ROM core never change, still 'build 19216', another is people want their own localized & personalized ROM anyway.
I list down the latest OEM packages which including in my kitchen, and I hope we can share the OEM packages from now on if you agree with me.
NetCF3.5 [NET 3.5]
HK_Battery_Replace_Volume [give that ugly battery indication back due to volume icon already put into ROM by default]
HK_Manila Square320_128DPI [Manila2D 1.0.1818 which works under 128DPI]
HK_Personalize [splash 1,2&3 screen]
HK_PlumSIP6_PalmTreoPro [Chinese input method]
HK_TaskManager_Show [task manager icon might be disappear after installing manila, this OEM can make task manager shown on your HP again]
HK_WM6.5_BatteryIndicator [WM6.5 battery indicator]
PS: my custom ROM works under 128DPI resolution, I found yours is 96DPI
PS+:you can refer following links for those OEM package which mentioned above

oh, sorry for that,
1 please kindly follow that link, and click 'English' on the top right of your page
2 and now your web page should display with English letters, then select 'ToDownloadPage' & waiting for another page to pop up
3 click 'Raysource' button in that newly opened page to start downloading.
4 oh, before i forgot, the most important thing is you need to install 'Raysource' application first, which you can get from http://static.rayfile.com/en/client/
Plus: make sure dis-select OEM package['Ziti_YaHei' & 'Ziti_ClearType'] in the kitchen once your downloading finish, because those two OEM packages are Chinese language support & customize tool.
The path of those two packages is [dump\SYS\19216\SHARED\COMMON]
Thanks for your fast response!
For other non-Chinese people you can change the RaySource program into English as well:
- Open the program Raysource
- Click on the icon in your traybar
- Click on the item which has an arrow next to it and choose the second option.
Download is slow but the program has a resume option.

Farewell!
Hey Mccune..
It brings great sadness to hear you're moving on to Nokia.. I was looking forward to hearing from you regarding Realvga etc.. but I guess you gotta do whatcha gotta do.. Have fun with Symbian.. Au revoir!

For a while I've had the E71 before. Together with the Treo Pro it was hard to decide what to keep. Both have their pro's and cons. Since I've got the Touch Pro 2 the TP became more obsolete and served as a backup device.

I was kind of struggeling if I would continue this RealVGA project before "abandoning" the TP. But since it's actually pretty easy to install RealVGA I thoughy it would not be such a big deal.

But I've found it to be redundantly complicated.
Therefore, I wish to downgrade it to 6.1. Well, not downgrade it but upgrade in sense of simplicity.
I've downloaded the kitchen from SuperJustKitchen,( justkitchen(.)info/main/rokdownloads/ft2(.)php )which was the only I could find. And I'm going to build a 6.1 ROM, hoping I haven't forgotten how to do it
Since I i'll be constantly improving for the next 1-2 days, I would like opinions and ideas. =D
Edit: Thge SJK wasn't the same Kitchen that I used to work with =S, didn't even get it to build.
Go to my guide on cooking for qvga and there you'll fine my kitchen.
Download that and import a WM6.1 build.
Here is a list of WMBuilds
Hey, Trib still being a rockstar on these forums eh! =D
Um quick question, How will I know if the build is 6.1? Which is latest/Best build for 6.1??
I'm not really sure at this point, but anything before March 11, 2009 should be WM 6.1.
EDIT: I just looked at the list and there isn't a build on there from before the afore mentioned date.
I'll try to find you something to work with..
Ok, so I saw that 21xxx are the 6.1, i got those files, but I don't know how to make the kitchen from your guide, recognize it. The kitchen you have only has 21056, and 21054.
I got the 21057 (Latest one from the 21xxx). I'm not sure if I did it right. =/
Edit: Ok, I cooked a few ROMS but all were un-bootable. I used 21056 because 21057 wasn't being Nice =X
Maybe i build wrongly...
Do you have any 6.1 builds that i could learn from and see what I'm missing out.
(Goal of this: Stable, eXtremely light and fast with Manila 2D.)
I'm backing up my phone now and then i'll cook some 6.1 ROMs up and see what I come up with.
Whatever works, I will share..
Hey, I just cooked a decent ROM that seems to be fruitful. I'm currently testing it out, the only ting i worry is the Eye-candy. It's not as I expected. Umm, is there a way to make it look any better? If not then I'll use PointUI or Throttle Launcher. =D
I am glad that it is working for you now. I actually have never tried using a 6.1 Build and mixed it with 'eye-candy.'
You've given me food for thought, so thank you
Really?? I feel honored to helped the one who helped me in everything related to ROM development.
Hmm, I wonder if my ROM has a visual bug.. My OK and X button on the top right corner is oversized. It's showing like if a 3 year old kid painted it there...

LOL, +1 for making me laugh hard.
I'm not sure why it's like that.
Honestly, I never liked cooking with WM 6.1, I kinda just skipped over it from 6.0 to 6.5.1.
Really?? I feel honored to make laugh the one... Eh, nahh xD
Yeah, I agree with you, same here. First time on 6.1, and quite frankly, I miss my old ROM, I would go back to 6.5.3 but the program memory 'is to da*n low' =/
I flashed one of you saved presets and i loved it but the only thing was that it was 6.5.3 and had manila 2D with a 3D theme, sadly, the program memory was 3mb IDLE! And a lot of functions didn't work. For example: Google Maps, Settings tab, YouTube tab, Wallpaper and comm manger. ( but i think the everything in Settings tab didn't work )
So I'll probably try cooking a 6.5 and cook inside a Manilla 3D into it. And see what comes up.
Let me know if you got anything...
Although I will missed 27mb of program memory from the 6.1. .. AND 7mb pagepool ='(

I am not sure why the ROM wouldn't work for you. Those saved .erv files you should be able to load and recreate the ROMs I have on the fora..
EDIT: I cooked with build 21057 for the fun of it and I saw exactly what you meant, lmao. That is the worse UI I've ever seen M$ use, lol.
But what was cool was I was able to get 33MB of Program memory when I made an SD version and 62MB of Storage. And if I would have not cooked in .NetCF and a keyboard skin I would have gotten 70MB of Storage. I would like to use this but the looks of the ROM are amazingly horrible, so I don't think I can release it, lol.
Yeah =(
Just cooked a WM 6.5 and Manilla into it too, got it manilla to work great, only bug is that I cant change wallpaper T_T
Anyways, i got 4MB of program memory, and i stripped almost everything I could...
Mind giving me a list of ESSENTIAL files so I can make it even more slimer?

If you're making it using my kitchen then i'll upload an ervious save file. But if you're using another kitchen i'll be able to do it in a few hours.
Here ya go.
Awesome thanks, i'll check it out, I also made a extremely light one. 52MB Storage and 20+ Program.
But sadly i couldn't get M2D to be nice. I'm checking out SPB Mobile Shell =D
I'll see if I can make it lighter with from studying your ervs and put in manilla.
Thanks again, you're awesome.
Ah, thank you.
I've decided to upload my complete kitchen for you.
The kitchen you have has about 90% of what I use in mine. Maybe that will help you out. The .erv file you downloaded from 2 posts above, just insert them into:
Working_Folder\TOOLS\RomSaved inside your kitchen's folder in the kitchen you download from me.
My kitchen is huge, so it will take some time to archive and upload.
EDIT: Here is my complete kitchen.
Could you be more awesome?? No, really.. Could you?
Dude, thanks soo much =D
I can make a perfect ROM for me now!! =D
Thanks ^>^
Now, basically, just change up these things (and it will be your custom ROM) :
C:\kitchens\SuperJustKitchen\Working_Folder\SYS\23563 (or whatever build you're using) \dpi_96\COMMON\Base_DPI_96
(You can find icon packs in the Themes section on the forums, Here, and Here.)

(I suggest making a new theme for yourself making sure that you keep the names "classicblue_stwater_240_320.jpg" and "classicblue_stwater_320_240.jpg" the same for your portrait and landscape images. I simply use paint to make new images..)

(Now here you can change the boot screens. Try to keep your boot screens less than 45KB and you'll be smaller than M$'s screens.)
Next, click on Show Editor.
This will bring up all the .rgu files that are located in the kitchen. Scroll down to where you see the .rgu file located in the Shell. This takes about 2 to 3 minutes to finally pop up on my computer and it's a fast computer, so be patient^^.
Double click on it and it will open up the editor. Locate line 419. This is where you can 'brand' your ROM. All my ROMs I create usually have the branding '- Trib.' Put anything you want after the '- ' (and you also have to leave space right after the '- '). Then make sure to save. Then close out of the editor. Then go back to the main kitchen window. Then don't forget to save your ROM.

Look Here for more info>
I know how to do all those stuff, but since im not releasing it or anything like your stuff man, also you deserve most of the credit so i left your name in shell.
I read your guide on how to cook ROMs for QVGA.
