When you are cooking a WM5 or WM6 ROM for Tornado, the most troubling problem is that you cann't make a real lite rom since you cann't find an imagefs template with suitable size after removing some sh!t, or you may find the original imagefs is not big enough to cover the apps you added. The last issue is your cooked rom always has warning (TEST ONLY or whatever) over the splash screen in red, yes, I know we have got a way to remove the warning but it's still a little inconvenient.
Fortunately, an excellent Chinese rom maker has come up with a generic solution, please download the NBMaker first.
It's not an official tool from HTC, it's made by andot a chinese rom maker, so if you have any question or issue please send feedback to him, I don't think HTC will cover your question.
This tool is really easy to use, see screenshot as following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When you rebuilding the imagefs, you can see the Used Sectors, we set the above screenshot as an example:
Total Sectors: 0000
Used Sectors : dd6a
Free Sectors : ffff2296
Now fill in dd6a in the textbox Sectors, select a path for os.nb and select the system version, then click Make to make a os.nb. Then type code:
prepare_imgfs.exe os.nb -nosplit
to rebuild imgfs_raw_data.bin and imgfs_removed_data.bin
Then type code:
BuildImgfs.exe
make_imgfs.exe os.nb -nosplit
Then you can get the final os.nb, not more or less just suitable!
Then use nb2nbf_tornado.exe to make os.nbf, after flashing, you will find there is no TEST UI over the splash screen in red. Cooool, thanks andot for his great work.
BTW, you can download rom cooking tools from here, which is Vista compatible.
You can simply use tadzio's ImgfsTools2rc2b.zip . Tested & worked. I have ~19MB free on Storage on my Tornado (based on WM6 alpha without office and windows live)

What for so it is complex?
There is a program for Hermes - PagePool_Changer
With the help of this program it is very easy to change PagePool
I tried to change from 4Mb up to 16Mb, perfectly works with 82040000-OS.nb

Hello,
I know this isn't related to the PDA phones, but since it was one of the first smartphones powered by a microsoft OS and some of you like myself might have started out with one I thought this might interest you.
I managed to get the WM5 rom off someone advertising it on the web. It came in 3 parts, and you use a dos program to flash it. Basically when you run part one it gives you a device ID from the phone which you send to him, and then he sends you a key which flashes the device.
Due to flash space on the mpx200 being limited it installs part of the rom onto the storage card, but due to the way in which WM5 manages memory this doesn't work out as bad as you think, which is also the case for WM5 on the mpx200.
In fact I think this rom is a big fat kick in the teeth for companies like I-Mate who won't offer upgrades to older devices based on hardware restrictions. WM5 is probably the best OS for the mpx200, and although its sluggish at times, its no worse than any other OS on the mpx200 (in all honest I think the mpx200 is a bit sluggish regardless).
All in all its quite ironic using WM5 on the MPX200 given the fact my primary phone is a magician which doesn't even have a leaked version.
Here are a few shots I took.

Funny...The MPX200 was originally shipped with the 2002 OS. Nice find i guess.
neostar, where I can download this firmware?
If it really exists...
Re WM 2005 for MPX200 smartphone Build 14343
I'm interested too ...
Yeah I would love a copy too!
http://www.sendmefile.com/00189344
I don't known who upload.
In file you find: ASync 4.1 install, firmware parts, flashing tool, instructions
and unknown program dark5.exe
I don't test this firmware!!!
UPDATED
this firmware don't change beethoven bootloader and gsmradio
Okay, I've downloaded it, and checked it out. First, a quick google revealed that someone is selling it on ebay. The zip has 3 bin files and a "dark5.exe". The instructions says (this is just a part):
"3-Type "dark5 part1.bin" and hit enter, it should come up with a Screen
telling you your Hardware FingerPrint, and asking you to enter a User Name
and a Key. Send me your Hardware Fingerprint, and I will send you your
Username and Key, once entered, it will not ask again."
And since the seller of ebay has the word "dark" in it too, i guess it is the same thing. So, uh, this ROM needs some patching by the SPV-dev/XDA-dev guys
I've looked into the .bin files; a string says: "c : \ m a g b e t a 5 \" so i guess this is magneto beta 5...
It is possible to extract part2.bin into imgfs_raw_data.bin and imgfs_removed_data.bin with mamaich's WM5 ROM tools but the dump tool crashes after extracting a few files.
I *guess* part3.bin is the bootloader.
This firmware installed many peoples from xUSSR and its WORK!
SD card used for store all datafiles and installed programs.
for flashing you can convert bin files to "cmcs image" format. You can use mpx200_backup from marsgod or BINtoIMG from www.onk.nm.ru/mpx200/
Full install guide and discussion (unfortunatelly in spanish) here: http://www.movileswindows.es/
Can anybody help MPx220 users to convert that ROM to their devices?
On MPx200s this ROM works fine.. there are about 500 messages of MPx200 users that installed that ROM on their smartphones. I search a ROM for my MPx220... but I can't find

Dear friends, many of you know of Rinku's Iconbar Plugin
Screenshot:

Does anyone have an idea how to make the Iconbar background transparent so that the black does not disturb the 6.1 ROM that has no top bar under the icons??
i remeber i tried some time ago but with no luck...sorry
Wait, so you guys have had this working on the Vox before?

no absolutely no....for me.
you can use CAB installer
credits to someone else
someone tested it on VOX? maybe on 6.1 rom?
Does it work on vox with wm6.0 ?
I tried this, install and reboot : nothing appears

Does not work for me on Vox with Dr. Gonzo's WM6.1 ROM.
Roland
for me worked perfectly on shipped (1.34.407.1 / 1.23.166.1) by building custom rom, include the plugin
i never use cab-installer
try use the first version Iconbar_plugin without any Images...
(for me it work better then version2)
Follow the instructions in here (link) and it will work...the thing is it only works correctly in portrait mode, because that iconbar was made to the HTC Shadow...
I've followed the instructions to a T and still not able to get it working on the Vox, even in portrait mode. My icon bar will dissappear when making the change, but I'm not able to replace it.
I really don't know what you're doing wrong...I followed the instructions on the refered site, and as you can see on the pictures below, it's working on my Vox. The real issue is that it can't work in landscape AND portrait mode...it doesn't switch between modes automatically...when you add the code to the xml file, you choose if you want it in landscape or portrait...I have it in portrait, hence the icons a little bit shifted to the left.
One last thing: I then found an updated version, which has transparent background, and that possibility to choose between the screen modes (landscape or portrait) - (LINK)
maybe you could post your xml file?
Here it is: LINK
it worked !!! ThankYou!! just a thing......for me it as no transparency...it is black...

It's black because probably you are not using the version found in the modaco forum, in the link i said before. You have to copy the files contained in that zip file to the windows folder for it to work properly.

Hello, where can I obtain this theme with listed information in home screen (call missing,...)? Is it available for LG KS20 handset?
Regards
It worked flawlessy
I used the zip provided by the author in the first post of this page of the topic
Is there any success at attempt to use this hack with Windows Mobile 6.1 ? I am afraid I've been doing all the necessary steps but the top bar remains the same (eventhough I modified the theme xml file!! weird )

Actually it works fine!
Too bad the icons only show on the main screen and reverts back to the regular ones when doing a call

Use CeRegEditor to open user.hv and default.hv directly, you can export your dump from there.

You are right. The wm6.5 tsk file is skinned to look transparent so if we use other tsk there is no transparent.

People, it now obviously that its true 6.5, I think... But it's realy importend that Alexx~ said: we havn't that bloody tools for relocate modules themselves - old ones CAN'T. So can't port...
I suggest to catch, the rom's author wharever he is, and ask what tools he've used... Or maybe someone knows?
he used manual reallocation
sorry for the ignorance...but this rom is supported by wizard?and how to flash???

Hello,
I tried to port to wizard but sucked at 3rd splash screen. When I replaced shell32.exe and shellres.dll, it worked fine but the graphic is worst.
Anyway, if I added chome, the device hangs after 2 - 3 sec at today screen.
Future thing I was unable to test because tomorrow I am releasing my next version of CR86 Touch HD and was very busy with its.
Best Regards
What's the matter with the close button ("x"). Is it drawed in MS Paint?
And, hell, the view is much worst then I thought...
My another tool.
First run please go to "SMS BackImg" and click "Install" button.
It's easy to use.
Enjoy!

I can only change the second boot screen...You can use ACDSee to resize picture or photoshop do a professional work.

Seems like you're running the application from PC. You should copy it to your Magician and run it from there.
It's easy to make this mistake, God knows how many times I did it when I was still getting used to the device.
