WM6 English 5.2.1616.18120 Standard v3.7 (FINAL!) 01/11/08
Hello all,
VERSION 1 was my first ENGLISH ROM cook and it seemed to be pretty stable, based on Nitrogenious v5 Greek edition (Nitrogenious--THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK!!).
****NOTE**** BEFORE FLASHING ANY OF THE BELOW VERSIONS, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PERFORM A "format BINFS" TO ELIMINATE ANY PRE-EXISTING ROM FILES AND AVOID ANY UNUSUAL BEHAVIOR/CONFLICTS (FOR FURTHER RATIONALE GO TO PAGE 53 AND POST #529 here), FOLLOW KARHOE'S GREAT GUIDE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1453008#post1453008
****VERSION 3.7 INCLUDES ALL OF THE FIXES UP TO DATE...ADDITIONALLY THERE ARE 7 SHORTCUTS IN THE ACCESSORIES FOLDER (BLUETOOTH TOGGLE, BLUETOOTH DISCOVERY, PHONE TOGGLE, REBOOT, POWER OFF, WIRELESS MANAGER AND MUTE) USING THE SYSTEM'S OWN ICONS. VERSION 3.7 IS IDENTICAL TO v3.5 EXCEPT THE RE-ORGANIZATION OF THE SETTINGS/CONTROL PANEL AND THESE 7 SHORTCUTS ADDED IN THE ACCESSORIES FOLDER. THIS IS MY FINAL VERSION (HOPEFULLY ) UNLESS THERE ARE NOTICEABLE ERRORS!!!
THIS VERSION IS VIRTUALLY A PREVIEW OF NITROGENIOUS'S UPCOMING ROM RELEASE , HOWEVER THIS IS A BASIC/LITE VERSION). NITROGENIOUS'S ROM WILL HAVE MORE ADDED FEATURES, SOFTWARE, TWEAKS, AND ANIMATION!!!

may i ask what do u mean by no GSM?
can i still make calls from my dopod 577w?
congrats on your ROM mate!
glad to see all these hardwork.
Thanks ericjm!!
@admin22,
No GSM means no radio, you are just able to pick the radio you want. This is just the OS. If you already have radio on your system, you should still be able to make calls if you were able to before. If you want the latest radio version just search for the radio version 4.1.13.28_02.61.01 and you will find one. I will try to upload one to Rapidshare for you.
Here is Rapidshare link for this radio:
http://rapidshare.com/files/68584762/GSM_Radio_4.1.13.28_02.61.zip.html
Thanks
WOW!!! Nice work, vjgrace. You really did it! Almost 20MB free internal storage; a new record!!!
Welcome to the ROM cooking game, pal!
Btw, "Phonebook Speed Dial key mappings changed to match t9" refers to the Greek character key mapping (in original Greek ROM the character key mapping in Speed Dial was different than the one in SMS editing!!!), so you don't need to describe it as a feature. Because of that "feature", there is no Cyrillic character support in Speed Dial, unless you install the package I provide here.
@admin(!!!)22:
You can also upgrade the GSM together with the bootloader, using the SPL link in my signature.
So what's your review on this, Nitro?
Will I like it better than EA's chinese/english?
As I have already said, there is no good, better or best ROM. There is only the one that satisfies you and your needs. EA's has many new settings, but lacks of application quantity. This one has many useful applications and more free space. It's your call...
My english ROM was just a very rush release to satisfy all you non-greek Tornado owners. EA's ROM was a great update. But this ROM is just what I really wanted to release!
Keep up the good work, vjgrace! If you need any help/advice for future releases, don't hesitate to ask.
EDIT: I've just noticed that the available memory/storage values are written vice versa.
Created final version
Hello all,
Refer to post #1, I have v2 still listed in post #1 if you still want it, but I have finished a final version, which is listed in post #1. I have deleted the link and text to the version in this post to decrease confusion, thanks!!!
Well, OK, but... What's the point of loosing all these apps and games for a 0.01kb gain? I don't think you should release a new version, unless you replace all those kBytes with something more usefull.

I quite liked your ROM. EA's worked better for me (after tweaking the audiogain), probably because of the fewer applications.
I'm not entirely sure which of your included apps was causing me the trouble, but if I could have resolved that, I'd likely not have bothered trying yet another.
I guess that for me, less is more.
@Nitrogenious,
Thanks for your comments, you are correct...definitely not much gain on the storage side of it, but a little on the memory side (0.34mb) not much though. I really just wanted to give the option of more control/options for the base with the ability to still use the apps on the storage card.
@Exitao,
I too am under the train of thought that less is more...that is without effecting storage amount.
If you have the audiogain tweak maybe I could implement in the registry...Just let me know.
Thanks again for your comments, they are appreciated!!

Since you have not removed any applications from the StartUp directory, you have no memory gain or loss. What you should always consider an error of +-1MB maximum. Why? Because of the cache. If you browse more the Start Menu before checking the available memory you'll see less of it. If you open the Home Screen settings before the System Setting, free memory is again reduced. So, an error of +-1MB should always be considered!
And also do not forget the ...Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle for Windows Mobile; the memory report utility consumes an amount of memory.
In other words, you have no gain in available memory by removing a non-startup application, even it seems so.

I don't know why but the speaker phone was really quiet. I tried some tweaks I found in the forums, but apparently audiogain tweaks don't always work well across different smartphones.
The one I settled on came from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1374443&postcount=108
However, in my mucking about I may have altered others before using the ones he mentions above. So below are my current settings (excluding the handsfree/car stuff I've never used, let alone tweaked):
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\audiogain1]
"CODEC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"=hex:\
A0
"SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:\
10
"EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"=hex:\
79
"RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:\
10
"EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:\
32
Maybe you could tell me what your settings are so I can see what I've changed...?
Hello Exitao,
Thanks for the PM regarding that link to this ROM, boy that is frustrating, I just sent you a PM. Thanks again.
Well, here is the registry for this ROM...I haven't noticed a decrease in speakerphone volume but I will definitely listen to see if my phone is affected. If so, I will implement your provided tweak in an updated version to make sure this ROM has the optimal tweaks.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN]
"DeviceID"="Generic_20050926"
"AUDIO_DEBUG_FLAG"=dword:0

@Nitrogenious, THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS...GREAT INFORMATION!!!
Thanks again,
vjgrace
P.S. to Exitao...This block of code I just provided proves that the individual who is taking credit for this ROM build on that link is a fraud because the only way to get this specific block of code (from this build and this version) is to dump the rom and build the rgu files. What a shame.
I quite like EA's ROM because of the extra UI setting tweaks. Does this have such UI tweaks?
Thanks
Hello illi,
Thanks for the inquiry...I was actually about to ask Nitrogenious how to manipulate the registry to add those tweaks. Thanks to Nitrogenious this does have some extra settings tweaks (display timeout adjustment, IE tweaks, Voice tag location tweaks, and more), I am not sure how many more EA's version has (I haven't dumped and located), but hopefully I will be able to find out those values and implement them in this version.
Thanks again for the questions.

Hi vjgrace,
Thanks for the quick reply. I hope your next release will compliment at least EA's if not more on the UI tweaks. I especially am interested to have the IE and Inbox folders in Storage Card; (its a pain to manually tweak the registry every time I flash different ROM). I have also tweaked the \Volatile folder to point to Storage Card. It saves as well and at least maintain the speed/responses when running applications.
Thank you.
Hello illi,
Looks like we are online at the same time, that's pretty wild (I usually don't answer questions quickly). Anyway, I asked Nitrogenious about the tweak values and hoping to get a response. Once I know where to look to manipulate those values I can dump EA's ROM, find his values and hopefully implement them in this version. Always easier to manipulate registry in Settings rather than registry edit, if you know what I mean.
Thanks again

NOTE: The installs have been digitally signed for your confidence and safety!
(Digital Serial Number: ec b8 10 3b e7 65 19 ba 4f 05 48 14 e3 34 97 61)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How-To Verify a digitally signed file against a known serial number
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1
Download the file you wish for your device.
(i.e. "JASJAR_WWE_20108_20301_11300_wwe_ship.zip")
Step 2
Unzip the download.
(double-click the ".zip" file and then click on "Extract all files")
Step 3
Open the directory that you un-zipped the download to.
(i.e. folder "JASJAR_WWE_20108_20301_11300_wwe_ship")
Step 4
Locate the InstallSheild setup program in the ROM folder, then right-click it and choose "Properties".
(i.e. "JASJAR_WWE_20108_20301_11300_wwe_ship.exe")
Step 5
Once the file properties is open select the "Digital Signatures" tab, then in the "Signature List" double-click the "HTCCertificates signing authority" signature.
Step 6
Once the "Digital Signature Details" is open select the "Advanced" tab then compare the "Serial number" with the known one.
(My S/N: “ec b8 10 3b e7 65 19 ba 4f 05 48 14 e3 34 97 61”)
Step 7 (Results)
If the serial numbers match then rest easy because you are using a "TRUE" Jwrightmcps ROM that has not been altered and is virus-free.
If the serial number does not match then it is not my original work and should not be used!
NOTE: I did this is case these files make it onto other sites, it will give you guys a way to tell if it is really mine or not. I will always use this serial number (ec b8 10 3b e7 65 19 ba 4f 05 48 14 e3 34 97 61) from now on to sign all my work, so please make note of it!
woohoo. Will be testing this asap
Hallo,
yesterday I changed to 2.02.00 and while having breakfast I see your new version.
Funny: I immediately changed from Virtual Earth to Google Maps.
Today I will update to your new version (downloading now) - should be easy because now I still remember all tricks to make my german MDA Pro work again
thx
good job
I have found a partial fix for the mem-leak that doesnt screw up ROM's, when i get back this evening ill try adding it to this rom and post the result.
Seriously impressed ...
Wow Jwrightmcps !!! You've outdone yourself this time. OS seems to be stable so far, phone app hasn't crashed all day , no random soft resets, password lockout solved woohoo !!!, no more memory leaks, accelerated 3D VGA graphics performance (FPSEce 54fps) :-D, and last but not least a faster start menu.
All in all, I'd say this build deserves a 9.5/10. The only remaining issue is the video call option that's been missing in all wm2006 Universal builds. Hope this gets solved soon
Thanks Jwrightmcps for an amazing job
THank you Jwright. Will be testing it soon.
Working Good so far.Tks -J.
Downloading now and will install when I get back from work. Good to see you have included 1.15 Radio as I found it greatly improved my M5000's performance. Oh and thanks for listening to people and putting google maps on.
Finished. No problems, very fast. Now I can go to work
Thx again

as it stands .. This ROM has memory leak ... imho diversion became even more than in 2.02.00 ..
Midget_1990 all hope for you
Bluetooth went off in 20 minutes! Memory down to 25 mb after a single call! Voicecommand, activesync, and all plugins disabled. Nothing installed. I'm back to Jwrightecps aku 3.2. Thanks anyway for your generous effort. No hope for 1.91.02?
How much of free program memory after soft reset is there?
lol of the world ...this rom set a new memory leak Record .. After 30 minutes of intense work has flowed 15 megabytes of memory
Memory Leak.
Hi all,
Can I first say THANKS for the great WM6 ROM.
But the only issue I have is the memory leak and was wondering does anyone have any solutions.
Also I have tried a video call and IT WORKS!!!
I just make the call from my O2 XDA Exec (With Vodafone Ireland 3G Sim) to another Vodafone Ireland 3G video phone and it works perfectly.
So not sure why people say it does not work for them.
So any updates on the memory leak problem would be welcome, once I get that sorted I think we have a 99.999% perfect ROM release.
Thanks,
Mark aka IrishLad

Are we all using the same ROM?
Someone has no memory leakage, everyone else loads.
I've just reset again (for some reason it froze on reset once) and have had it sit on 32MB storage and 26MB program memory for about an hour (no apps added).
New v.2 release is the most updated and improved from the last kitchen release and the same vanilla flavor (as before).

How to build:
Step-1: Download and unrar the ROM_DEV_2.rar. It should look like "C:\ROM_DEV" after the unrar.
You will find two cmd files (1. BuildKitchen.cmd and 2. CreateROM.cmd) inside the ROM_DEV folder after the unrar.
Step-2: Download the desired OEM's and the empty ExtROM (if you need it)
Step-3: Run the BuildKitchen.cmd (first time only), it will dump the rom and prepare the kitchen for you.
Step-4: Copy the OEM's to OEM folder (i.e. C:\ROM_DEV\OEM\) and empty ExtROM to ExtROM folder (i.e. C:\ROM_DEV\ExtROM\)
Step-5: Run the CreateROM.cmd to build the rom
Step-5.1: Click on Start in "BuildOS" and close the dialog when done.
Step-5.2: Encode the rom, click on Encode, select the project file, Encode and exit the dialog. It may complain you that the file is too large....just ignore it.
Step-5.3: Set your device to bootloader mode, connect the USB cable and start burning...
You can use BuildKitchen.cmd to dump other WM6 rom and prepare the kitchen. In that case, decode the rom, copy (or overwrite) the nk.nba file to the ROM folder and run this cmdfile to build your own kitchen.

Bare WM 6.5 ROMs with unnecessary items removed ~ Witschey.
UPDATED on Sep 20, 2009 - 11:55am US Central Time
At the request of several members I am going to release all future versions of my Bare WM 6.5 ROMs on the same thread. This first entry on the thread will serve as the index, pointing you to the right page on the thread for the version you want.
ROM Objective
The ROM follows the principle of getting rid of unnecessary items in the Windows Mobile 6.5 source files in order to make as much RAM available on my Kaiser as possible after the installation of WM 6.5. However I didn't want to 'cripple' features that I needed/wanted to have installed.
What I may consider 'unnecessary files' may not be considered the same by others. Therefore for each ROM I am listing the WM 6.5 items that I remove, so that you can determine if this cooked ROM fits your needs. I am also enclosing a removed sources folder which will show you EXACTLY what was removed. If you miss one of the removed items, simply move it back (to the same directory) and cook your own version of my ROM.
Kitchen Used
All of the ROMs shown here were created with osKitchen (by OndraSter) which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540704
Rules of this thread
Since this thread will be used for the discussion of multiple versions of the WM 6.5 Bare ROM, I ask you to please state exactly which build of my Bare WM 6.5 ROM you are using, and I encourage you to please keep up with the new releases, since a lot of bugs are fixed in the most recent builds. No bulling or policing allowed in this thread. As the owner of the thread I will be the one that moderates the thread and when things get out of control I will call the xda-developers moderator/administrator. If you are one of those people in xda-developers who likes to police threads stay away from my thread. If somebody asks as questions that has been asked before either ignore the question or provide the person with a link to the answer post. DO NOT be rude with him/her. This thread is meant for people like myself who want to learn without being harassed or policed by those few xda-developer users who are seeking for trouble.
What I expect from YOU!
The only thing that I ask in return for my contribution is that if you find more space savings you share them with me. I left several items in the OEM and EXT folders because I know for a fact that some of those items ARE needed for the correct functioning of critical features such as movie file playback. However some of those items may not be necessary. If you find out that they are not necessary, or you find other files in the SYS folder that could be removed without affecting performance, please let me know by posting a message on this thread.

Bare WM 6.5 23409 Cooked ROM with unnecessary items removed ~ Witschey.
UPDATED on Sep 4, 2009 - 3:30pm US Central Time
Please read the overall description on post #1.
The result is a ROM that uses about 32 MB of RAM while the Kaiser is idle (and before you install your own applications). That means that you will have close to 70MB of free RAM with this cooked ROM. The size of the cooked ROM flash image (the NBH file) is: 51 MB, leaving 154 MB of storage space available on the Kaiser.
** General overview of what was removed:
- All of the non-essential OEM and EXT applications which normally ship with "Os Kitchen". I left only the OEM and EXT items which I found to be necessary for the normal operation of the ROM on the Kaiser. If through your own testing you find that one or more are unnecessary please let me know (as I would want to get rid of it as well!)
- Ringtones and other sound files which are not necessary for the normal operation of the ROM (if you miss one or more of those files you can easily put them in an SD card and access them from there)
- All files (CPR, Images, etc.) that relate to a resolution that is not supported by the Kaiser.
- The 'Calculator' application because there is plenty of great calculators for WM PPC out there, and I don't like to have software duplication.
- All "Windows Live" related stuff, because I don't use it.
- Microsoft Tag software because I don't use it, and you can install that on your own if you need/want it.
- All 'games' that come with WM 6.5 because I don't use them, and there is much better games in the marketplace.
- IPSEC related files because I don't use that type of 'virtual tunnel'.
- LiveSearch because I prefer Google.
- Unnecessary Mobile Office templates
- Remote Desktop (because I don't use that software. I prefer RDM+, which I install separately...not in the ROM)
- Task Manager (because I prefer to install Advanced Task Manager...separately, not in the ROM)
- Skybox (because I don't use Microsoft 'My Phone' and related services.)
- Skymarket (because I don't need a software store on my phone)
- All Themes except for 'Classic Blue' (because I prefer to install my own themes...separately, not in the ROM)
- VOIP (because no VOIP application comes with WM 6.5, and VOIP applications like Skype work without these files. So they seem to be a waste of space. If anybody disagrees and can explain the purpose of those files please let me know.)
- Welcome Center (Because I am experienced enough with WM 6.5 that I don't need somebody to guide me)
- All Windows Mobile Widgets (because I prefer to install my own ....separately not in the ROM).
- Zip viewer (because I prefer to install my own compression/decompression software)
- Microsoft Auto Data Configuration (before I don't need MS to configure my data. I do that manually).
- Lock Screen Media player icons and images (because that feature of WM 6.5 has not been enabled by Microsoft yet)
- Time Bomb removed. You can enjoy this ROM for as long as you like.
In addition to the file removals that I describe above, I made a few changes:
- I changed the boot screen back to the original HTC screen that says "smart mobility"
- I changed the animation screen back to the original HTC screen that has an animated HTC logo
- I changed the boot up sound to one that uses aprox 100K
- I changed the Windows start up screen to that of Windows Mobile 7
- I added software to fix the animation start up sound (which didn't work in the original build)
- I added software to fix the animation boot up screen (which was mixed with some other stuff that I removed)
- I added a registry entry that changes the default skin on Windows Media Player to Diamond Portrait.
- I added code to install 'Random Access' in the Contacts Screen. (allows quick access to people by clicking letter on the right margin)
- I added code to change the Start menu to a single column vertical list. I consider that MUCH more useful than the hexagon grid.
- I added a registry entry to remove the 'tap time' that is required when selecting items in WM 6.5 folders.
- I added a registry entry to allow two way phone conversations to be recorded with any 3rd party software.
- I added a registry entry to display 'Recording' in the phone menu (shows up in the menu only during a call)
- I fixed the lock screen background wallpaper alignment.
- I changed the lock screen layout so that the lock slider is at the bottom and the time/appointment at the top.
- I changed the background image of the soft bar so that it has same looks as in previous WM 6.5 versions (I don't like the gradient - greyish bar)
- In addition the "Chocolate" flavor has these changes:
- Replaced the battery indicator for one that shows the percentage remaining (in increments of 10%), and changes color (White/Orange/Red) depending on the amount of battery remaining.
- Replaced regular Comm Manager with a 6 item Comm Manager to replace the 3 item one that comes standard with WM 6.5
Screen shots of the "Chocolate" flavor are here:
{
"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"
}
- This version of my ROM will have NO vanilla flavor because there is not enough demand for it. Most people download the Chocolate version which is also the one I use.
NOTE: For those who do not like the Chocolate flavor, I am making available the source files so that you can make any necessary changes to suit your taste. All my changes are in the EXT folder and are clearly labeled with "-PW" after the folder name. So you can choose to keep them or remove them based on your personal needs.
And here is an Spb Benchmark test on a fresh copy of this ROM. I don't know if this type of tests are trustworthy, and I have no benchmark to compare it with. All I can say is that the OS feels very fast and responsive. Don't base yourself on the benchmark. Try it and see if it works for you. It does for me.
Here are the files:
a) You can download the "Chocolate" flavored cooked ROM (which is ready to be flashed directly to your device) from here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/130267025/501249af/ROM_-_v23409_-_C_-_1.html
b) You can download the OEM, SYS, EXT, MSXIPKERNEL, and Bootup and Windows & "Bootup Start up Screens" folders (which have been purged of unnecessary items), and replace the respective folders that are in the "sources" directory of osKitchen from here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/130267970/52de72ea/Sources_-_23409.html
c) You can download the "Chocolate" flavor osKitchen configuration file (which you MUST use in combination with the OEM, SYS, EXT folders shown in item "c" to cook your ROM in osKitchen) here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/130255948/9a811b40/Configuration_Files_-_v23409_-_C_-_1.html
d) You can download the 'removed' OEM, SYS, and EXT folders (which you can use to verify what I removed....or to move back something that I removed but that you want) here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/130257293/1ea19bef/Removed_Sources_-_23409.html
Tips:
- After the ROM loads, go to phone settings (Start-Settings-Personal-Phone) and in the "Phone" tab select the Ring Type that you want to use. You can put Ringtones in any folder of your Kaiser and they will appear in the "Ring Type" pull down menu. I put them on external storage (SD Card) under a directory called "My Ringtones".
- Missing MMS Options. Standard Builds of WM 6.5 DO NOT come with MMS. To get MMS read other threads such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500869.
- HTC Task Manager missing. The source files do not have the HTC task manager and I don't like it anyway; so I purposely didn't install it. If you want the HTC task manager please install it on your own, or cook your own version of my ROM.
- OEM/EXT folders - If you cook your own ROM using my files, you will be able to identify what OEM/EXT packages were added by me, because I follow each package with "-PW". Packages that do not have "-PW" came with the osKitchen, and they appear to be necessary for the proper functioning of the ROM, but I am unable to provide an explanation since I didn't put them together. Contact OndraSter (the maker of osKitchen) in case you have a question about an OEM/EXT package that do not have "-PW" after it.
- Aligning Screen - After you install the new ROM, remember to align the screen. You can do that here: Start - Settings - System - Screen and align your screen from there.
- SIM Manager - Left out on purpose. If you want one, read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2&postcount=79
- Migrating all your programs and settings - To migrate all your programs and settings use spb backup 2.0.2. Just make a backup of your Kaiser just before upgrading to this new build of WM 6.5, and after you install the ROM go to the place where you saved the backup and execute the file. Soon after you execute the backup file spb Backup will tell you that your ROM doesn't match and suggest that you use the "upgrade ROM" feature. Do it. If the restoration gets 'stuck' don't worry, it is normal. Just soft reboot your device and execute the same backup executable. This time it WILL finish. That's it. WARNING - DO NOT include Resco Keyboard Pro in the restoration. Resco keyboard is incompatible with build 23034 of WM 6.5 (see 'Known issues) below.
Known Issues:
- Small Fonts get blurry on Titanium / Today Screen, and sometimes images on Today Screen plug-ins (such as Artesea Twmr 6.5r) get distorted. - This issue has been confirmed by other people cooking WM 6.5 23028 regardless of the cook or kitchen used. It seems to be an issue related to the Microsoft code, and I am unable to fix it. All ROMs out there will experience the same problem.
- Dialog boxes of WM 6.5 have an unfinished selection circle as stated by me in the following post (picture also available) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4385259&postcount=434. This is related to the Microsoft code which is not yet finalized. All ROMs out there will experience the same issue.
- Sashimi 8.0 Auto function doesn't seem to be able to select the storage card during the auto install process of cabs, which results in all software being installed on the main memory of the Kaiser. This is provably related to the 'under the hood' changes that Microsoft incorporated in this build. I have reported the problem to the Sashimi developer, but I haven't received a reply and he/she hasn't updated Sashimi.
- spb Keyboard Pro 5.22 - This new build of WM 6.5 is NOT compatible with spb Keyboard Pro v. 5.22. The installation seems to go OK, the logo on the toolbar changes to the spb keyboard logo, etc. However the keyboard can not be opened and other windows mobile 6.5 build 23034 applications stop working such as file manager. This is a know issue. I have reported the issue to the developer and they plan to update the software AFTER Microsoft releases the WM 6.5 (said to be Oct 1st). I recommend using FingerKeyboard 2.1 instead. That is my favorite keyboard. To that keyboard as the default use SKTools. Here is the link to get FingerKeyboard 2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501122
- Top Taskbar - It expands on this build ONLY on the Titanium screen, and the expansion does not work anywhere else. This is a known issue with this build and it is like that per Microsoft design. We hope that they fix that in a future build. All ROMs made from this build experience the same problem.
- X Button - The X button in the bottom bar minimizes (does NOT close) the applications. This is a known issue which comes from Microsoft's design. Therefore all ROMs made from this build of WM 6.5 will experience that issue. If you want to close to be able to quickly close applications instead of minimizing them, you should consider installing the e-Natives Showcase task manager. This application overlaps a close button on top of the taskbar (top bar), which only shows up when you press the top right hand corner. You can read more and download from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530564
Fixes / Improvements:
- I have put together a cab file to improve the looks of the Classic Blue Pivot Background and Pivot Arrows. All you need to do is install the cab file in your system and do a soft reset to see the changes reflected in your device.
Here is a screen shot of what the improvement looks like, and below you will find the cab file.

Sorry for the delay in posting the download links, but uploading these big files takes a bit of time due to the slow servers of the download provider. I also had problems with xda-developer. The website kept on giving me connection errors. But anyway, links are up and everything's ready for you to start downloading. Enjoy!
An absolutely great! rom. Thanks, love the new look and feel. An upgrade to the 23037 build.

This ROM's WM 6.5 files were customized to work ONLY for QVGA devices (in another words ALL the non QVGA files were removed). The ROM directory of the kitchen and the MSXIPKernel directories are provably device specific. I am not sure about the details because I normally grab the source files from people who have a lot of experience on this topic and make the files available for cooks like me on other forums of xda-developers.
If you are an experienced cook, and your device has QVGA resolution then you could perhaps download the 'sources' directory and use the SYS folder (which contains the Windows 6.5 files). However you would need to get the MSXIPKernel and ROM files from somewhere else; so that would provably defeat the purpose of downloading the files from this thread.
So the safest bet would be to search for the ROM of your liking inside the tread of your own device (in your case Treo 750).

I have never seem a hard ware button for the comm manager. Can you please indicate me exactly what you mean?
There IS a shortcut for the comm manager. You need to go to the start menu, select settings, connections and in there you will find 'comm manager'. It works perfectly on my Kaiser.
@ather
I guess you were used to that you had on one key Comm Manager right?
Now if you want it here too, go to Settings => Personal => Buttons and add it to the key ya want.
Sort order of the Start Menu
Just upgraded to this ROM from you last and so far really liking it. Might be a dumb question but can you sort the Start menu alphabetically? I created a new folder called Applications and moved the links to all the apps I installed into it. Trouble is Applications is located at the very bottom of the start menu, below System Tools. Pressing the link brings up the 'action menu' animation but no menu. (Typically you'd get a menu to move to the Top, or to the bottom). Is there a way to fix that?

Yes, you can sort anyway you like; but unfortunately Microsoft hasn't included any automatic sorting options (would be nice...hope they are reading so they implement them).
To sort what you need to do is use a drag and drop approach. Basically you should use the stylus to select a program shortcut (or folder) of your choice. Select it from the top edge. After pressing for a bit you will notice somehow that it has been selected. Then drag the stylus (without lifting from screen) to any place you want. You may need to repeat several times if you want to lift way higher than what you see on the screen.
It takes a bit of practice to get the 'hang' of it, but very quickly you will manage the drag/drop of the start menu and be able to move items around very quickly.
Hey there...Long time flasher, first time poster. Weird question I have, but, my issue is pretty minimal..great rom by the way! More often than not, when I close apps, using the close button of course, they don't really close, they stay open, and I only end up finding out through task manager that they really didn't close. Any reason for this or possibly a fix? Thanks!

Descriptions:
1. This is a "little clean" ROM for HTC Universal.
2. Free RAM is about 24MB with PIMs loaded (25-26MB without PIMs loaded), amount of free RAM will varry depends on how much PIMs (contacts, messages, softwares, etc.).
3. Free main storage is about 35MB.
4. ROM contains only standard packages from microsoft and some additional tool/software, so I think screenshot is not necessary.
If you need additional applications, please install it by your self.
5. This ROM is XPR compressed & I applied a file system filter taken from Raphael into this ROM (the function is similar to harddrive write cache on your windows PC), which has advantages & disadvantages (considering that it was intended for Raphael).
This only affect main storage. So if suddenly the device stops responding (hang up), the data that will remain is only the data saved after device entering the last suspend mode.
This means the new data will be written after the device entering suspend mode.
If you want to manual softreset your device, make sure to enter suspend mode for about 15sec & turn it on again before you do a softreset.
6. This ROM has been tested for about two weeks on a 64MB G3 & G4 device.
ADDED:
- Office 2010 with OneNote => Only on Release_v2 ROM..
- Macromedia Flash Player 4 plugin
- .NETCF 3.5

*Known problems/limitations:
- Power point & Share point isn't work..
- The Auto kill process feature on HTC Task Manager default threshold is set to 9MB, could be annoying for some people.. To disable or re-adjusting threshold, open the Advanced Config utility then enter the desired threshold (or disabled it) under HTC Task Manager menu.
- If you experience problems with this new build eg. GSM stop responding (it's not totally hang up, but something like no signal, or you have a good signal reception but you can't make a call/sms neither connect to inet) please do some experiment on changing your radio ROM until you find the version that can work flawlessly with this OS build. Because both of my device has a problem of this, one of it can only work with 1.09 radio and the other one can only work with 1.17 radio.
*Additional info:
- If you aren't use the kitchen and you wanna change the PP, simply convert the "NK.NBF" file into "NK.NB" file via 'HTC64', then use 'PPCH' to program the desired PP, then convert it back to "NK.NBF" file via 'HTC64'.
- If you are using the kitchen, simply change the value of "PP" into your desired size.
- When building ROM using this kitchen, don't forget to check "Real WM6.5 AKU" option, & change "IMGSTART" value from '0' to '350000' under "OTHER" tab..!
- Just ignore whatever error messages that 'HTC64' gave you...
- WPA encryption is now supported.. See post #46 for details...
Instruction for flashing:
1. Make sure that your device is CID unlocked.
2. Fully charge your device by using AC adaptor.
3. Run "ROMUpgradeUt.exe"
4. DO NOT do a hardreset after flashing.
5. DO NOT do anything with your device while it's booting until you see Welcome screen (in fact, don't touch your device at all).
6. After calibrating the screen, now you can do anything.

Thanks to Luca15thebig (is it 15 or 16..?) for providing the 21056 ROM kitchen.
Thanks to Ervius for providing the EVK ROM kitchen used in my 21057.
Also there are so many person that I wanna thanks to for their great tools, toys, softwares, & their support, in this forum and on the other forums. I'm so sorry that I can't remember all of you.
Once again Thank you very much..
Tutorial on using Ervius Visual Kitchen with HTC Universal...
Tutorial how to use the kitchen
Using this kitchen is quite easy (although may be a little bit confusing at first try).
OK, don't have time to talk nonsense. Here we go....
Start the kitchen by double klicking the exe file.
Next you have to do is activating all options in the drop down box:
1. DEVICE
2. LANGUAGE
3. EXT Build
4. SYS Build
5. XIP Build
6. ROM Res
7. ROM DPI
8. Real WM6.5 AKU
9. Other
After clicking on "OTHER" button, change the "IMGSTART" value from '0' to '350000'.
Then if you wish, you can change Pagepool size by changing value on "PP" (default is 6MB).
Next, click "CLOSE" to go back to main screen.
If you wanna enable/disable package included from building process, simply double click on package that you wish to include/exclude from ROM..
Click "CREATE" button.
Wait,,wait,,& wait... Just be patience OK!
When the kitchen is finished creating "OS-New.NB" file, the HTC64 window will popup.
Click "ENCODE" button.
Select project file (nk.prj) to open. => It's located under "%path%\EVK_182\TOOLS" folder.
Next, a warning message window will popup.
Just IGNORE that warning message by clicking on the "OK" button..!
Don't worry, it wouldn't harm your device (if you have the right ingredient on XIP part.. Otherwise, you guess it..)..
Next, click "Encode".
If there're no somethings wrong, a message window saying "Encode Successful" will popup.
Click "OK", then click "EXIT" button.
Well done, you've just created your own custom ROM..
Next, close the kitchen and start flashing your device...
OK, time to sleep now.... Good night..
ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

@ phezthie
Let us know more about this ROM!
Cool!!!
test on g3, thanks!
its definitely working with G3. fast n stable too wit spb ms. one problem encountered thou, wifi asking for predetermined number of key and cant connect with pre-configured wireless router...
Ya you're right, & thank you very much. But unfortunately I don't have enough spare time to find solution for that. I don't even have time for continuing make EVK to work with universal. Too much office work lately, & less sleep time too.
Perhaps I'll upload the kitchen (based on Luca's kitchen), so everybody can build his own style ROM, & hopefully will find solution for that. How about that?
Sounds good, please let us know any advance on your work
I regret there is not flash disk
OK,,kitchen attached...
Check out 1st post for download link, and 2nd post for tutorial using this kitchen...
@teddybear3k: Yes,,there is NO flashdisk. Because I don't like it..
Great!!! Thanks!!!!
I'm trying to cook a 23518 build and i've a question...
you say that 6.5 nk is in the kitchen... can i select modules instead of files selecting SYS packages to the compilation?
3 days test, feedback
with kitchen uploaded (wit big thnks to Shadow of course) i think more chefs will be forthcoming making this feedback moot nonetheless, for those who want to know, here it goes....
overall performance, commendable.... no freeze/hang experienced. fast and stable though a bit lesser ram (11-7Mb) compared to other light/vanilla roms available.
tested with add'l apps installed:
spb ms 3.5
ezmoney
fingerkeyboard2 (w/o arrows)
pbar
PIM's status:
581 contacts; 2397 appointments; 189 call logs & 2698 messages (i keep it available for ready reference )
on the otherhand, some minor glitch observed...:
wifi key as earlier reported - solution? i reconfigured my router
battery status (both on pbar indicator and system setting) indicates low but changes after a second or 2..
wit smiley sms enabled, it will cause not to open other messages..
cheers..

Yes, the batt status takes about 2sec for refresh after it's suspended state.
And can you explain further about can't open other messages while smileysms is enabled?
And thank you very much for your report & feedback..

you can view the messages on top of the list but most often you will not be able to open other messages anymore. the application seems to be not responding after opening the most recent sms.
nevertheless, sms works perfectly after i disabled the smiley...

Can`t download it.
Ok... here's my report.
I'm using T-Mobile MDA PRO.
1. Boot up are fast.
2. Running apps. are fast too (big 'page pool' ?)
3. Never happen to hang up.
4. Error when try to manually change the Band from GSM to WCDMA, I have to use apps . call 'BandSwitch' to force it so it can switch the Network Band from GSM to WCDMA or opposite.
5. The Sim Tool Kit Service are work too (first I thought it can't, but then when I change the SIM Card, it works, and then I realize that my main card are not supporting this Operator Service ).
6. I never try WiFi, so I can't tell anything about it.
7. I like the Home Screen ++ (more like 'Battery Status' ?), but why do you remove the Clock?
So far this is the best ROM I ever used, think I'll keep using it.
So, keep up the good work, Juragan !
Ok, that's all..

1. What for? It's already configured to auto mode. So the device can be automatically switch beetwen GSM & UMTS.
2. Because I don't like a clock filling my desktop..

Not the Auto switching, coz I prefer to do it manually (which is to set my Network Band to WCDMA always, WCDMA is most faster in download rate than GSM - apalagi gw pake Matrix yg cepek/month pelan banget dahhh... ).
And I try it manually in the Phone Setting menu, then it says 'Unable to switch...' so I decide to using 'BandSwitch' apps.

This is a little project i've been working on and i thought it was ready enough to be released into the wild. Below is the readme file. I think it covers everything for now. Before posting please read the first 3 posts - especially post 3 - if it is obvious that you haven't done this i will not respond with any form of help and i don't not expect any of the users to do so either.
----------
Included with this zip file are several .cab, .reg and .xml files that will automatically configure your NRGZ28 energy rom when XDA_UC runs upon first boot after flashing.
Included are the following configuration files
activesync.xml
This will configure your MS Exchange settings. Editing with your personal settings is required. Look for the username, server, domain and password tags at the start of the file
aGPS.reg
Enables aGPS
BackLight.reg:
Sets backlight to auto. There are some other settings included for dim and light off times when on battery and AC power aswell
bt_ident.reg
Sets the Bluetooth Identity. Edit the deviceid line to suit
copy.mscr
Copies files from the copy2root folder to the matching location in device storage. A My Documents folder with My Ringtones and My Wallpapers sub folders have been created already. Place you ringtones and wallpapers in these folders. There is also an application data folder which contains a coreplayer config.xml and a program files folder which contains a myPlayer options.ini. Feel free to create more. Thanks to nrfitchett4 for providing this script.
Del.mscr
This file will remove all unwanted ringtones, wallpapers and any other files you decided to add. Edit as you need to. N.B any readonly files will need attributes changed before they can be deleted.
DisableSenseVsync.cab
Disables Vsync in sense increasing the framerate thus making it faster
HD2MemTweaks.cab
Increase's glyphcache size past the bsb tweaks and advanced config defaults, incrases filesystem cache size and a few other bits. This cab file is optional. Delete it if you don't want it. Thanks go out to g.lewarne for documenting the tweaks
HTCAlbumIgnore.reg
Stops the sense music player playing ringtone files from \My Documents\My Ringtones\ and \storage card\ringtones. Copy the examples
if you want to add to it.
M3PH HTC Location Service Enable.cab
Enables HTC location Service and automatically excepts the TOS
ident.reg
Changes the phones identity at first boot. If NRGZ28 won't make it sensible i'll make it so we can customise it . Editing required. this one is pretty obvious
Palringo.reg
Sets up palringo, sorta, change [email protected] to your user name and it should show up at sign in. All you need to do is enter your password
QuickGPS.reg
Enables and configures QuickGPS with the defaults
Ringtones.reg
Configures the ringtone, sms tone and email tone. Needs some editing but you only need to change the file name for each entry, not the
path. The Ringtone2 entry allows for second ringtone to be added to the list of usable ones so you change them with too much fuss.
Also enables flashing light on sms reception for 5 minutes.
wifi_setup.xml
wifi settings. Edit required. This link should help you set it up (see post 3 for details on how to edit)
M3PH Enable Time Auto Update.cab
Enables NTP
Volume.Reg
Sets the volume levels. You can use this one or export your own from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume
Windows live.reg
Pretty much configures windows live. You do still need to enter your password and you will also need to do atleast one manual sync before Sense will create the mailbox on the email tab but otherwise it works
Opera User Agent String folder
See the readme.txt in that folder
Sense Folder
If you put your wallpaper in this folder it will be installed as the sense default. Just rename it to sense_wallpaper.png.
Start Menu folder
Copy Start Menu shortcuts here

Change Log
Change Log:
1.1.1 Final
Removed Keyboard sensitivity tweaks
Removed opera memory tweaks
Added more palringo settings
Added Quick shutdown settings
1.1 Final
Updated volume.reg to default to seperate system and ring volume controls.
Removed all tweaks now included in Energy roms dated nov30 and newer. I will leave v1.0 posted for a while so people that like to install older versions still get the benefit
1.0 Final
Added Windows_live_settings.reg. You will need to edit it as prescribed on page 16 but it will work.
Added Improved GPS settings.cab. This is untested by me but i trust scabes24 enough to know he's not going to pass on unreliable tweaks
Improved M3PH Location Service enable.cab: Added an extra registry setting that should trigger Manila to showing it's on. This is doubtful but even if it doesn't the file does work
Added alarm_settings.reg: This is only an example file. You will need to export your own settings but this should be a reasonable starting point
Removed readme.txt: It was a habit a picked up from Linux development practices and was pointless for this project
Removed time.reg permanently because there is nothing changed in the registry when it is enabled.
--- Pre Final releases
Tips and Tricks
What follows are some tips and tricks i have found that i'm not going to include for whatever reason but thought some people might find handy or notes on what settings do what and their options.
Q. Can i delete file xyz using xda_uc because i like to have as much space as possible?
Yes you can. i found this link. All you need to do is create a file in the xda_uc folder with the extension .mscr which contains the following:
Code:
delete \test.txt, TRUE
or
Code:
deltree \test, TRUE
Obviously change test to the file or directory you want to delete. For more details check out the provided link above.
Q. The default wifi.xml doesn't match my configuration and i can't find a resource that tells me what are valid values for the options?
A. See this link and this one. As a note if you use WPA2 you need to use <parm name="Authentication" value="6" /> and WPA2-PSK is 7
Q. The exchange settings in activesync.xml aren't how i like them. Can i change them?
A. Sure can! Here's a link to the documentation
Q. I use a [enter service name here] and i want to create an xml file to configure it when i update my rom. Can i do this?
A. Thanks to microsoft developing WAP provisioning to an incredibly encompassing level you can do almost anything. See this link
Q. I want to make a cab file out of all my changes. How do i this?
A. There are many ways but i think this is the best one i've found because it doesn't involve any third party software and is really simple. All you need is the windows mobile sdk, which can be found here. You may also need visual studio but i'm not sure
Making either is very simple. You just pass a normal XML file to makecab and give it the name of the output file you want. The one trick is that the XML file must be named _setup.xml. If you call it something else, makecab will succeed, the CAB or CPF file will be generated fine, and then it will fail with a cryptic error when you try to use it. Beware, the documentation doesn't make this very clear.
The syntax for making a CAB file is:
Code:
makecab _setup.xml config.cab

Q. Wow you really do know a lot about this sort of stuff. How can i learn?
A. Well i don't know that much at all really, i just learn fast. Most of the stuff you see here was obtained from or via this MSDN article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc500581.aspx
Q. Is there a way to boost the performance of Opera in terms of memory/speed?
A. Yes, this cab will force Sense to unload when launching Opera, allowing for better performance while browsing. (When exiting Opera, Sense will then reload) (thanks to Scabes24 for this one)
Code:
[URL="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O5O1RE97"]Enable Opera Max Memory Tweak.cab[/URL]
Q. I've installed the Opera tweak and everything is working fine, but the page loading seems very slow. Is there a way to improve this?
A. Yes you can, the following registry tweak will enable almost instantaneous web page loading in the web browser. It apparently enables wireless N mode but seems to work with cellular data too. Go to:
HKLM/Comm/BCMSDDHD1/Parms
11nModeDisable = Change from 1 to 0 (thanks to Scabes24 for this one aswell)
Q. My wifi hotspot uses EAP certification and i can't use it because the phone gives me a certificate verification failure error. What can i do?
This was posted in the energy rom thread
NRG, after weeks of not being able to connect to my work wireless network because I was getting a "certificate is from an unknown authority" error, I finally got it working. Can you add this key to your ROMs?
[\HKLM\Comm\EAP\Extension\25\]
"ValidateServerCert"=dword:00000000
This is where I found the answer:

The FAQ
Q. Will you include xyz tweak for me?
A. Only if it's a common one or one that i haven't thought of
Q. I use xyz program and i want to have the config file included in your great collection. What do ya' say?
A. See above but you could always spend 10 minutes tracking it down and then creating a folder in copy2root for it
Q. Why is the bluetooth identity the only tweak for BT you include?
A. Because everyones setup and hardware is far too different for it to be worth it. Also, Although you can export the pairings importing them may not be possible due to the way the bluetooth security protocols work.
(More To Come)
Happy to try this, thank you for cobbling everything together.
wow
this would be so handy, i hate spending time making your phone how you like it. I don't flash as often because i get too comfortable with the current configuration.
thanx M3PH
btw: without NRGZ28 i would have sold my HD2 7 months ago

No worries. I did it because i was getting annoyed with spending ages setting everything up and even more annoyed with people not reading the energy rom FAQ properly (i'm guilty of that too). I used the pre-release version last night after flashing the latest energy rom and it saved me in the region of an hour to an hour and a half. It's not perfect by a long way. Things like the sms led notification is enabled and some people may not like that but is is easily reverted with bsb tweaks.
My plans for the next version is to have all the reg files converted in to cab files for they can be removed and i'll tidy up the readme a bit.
One thing i would like help with though is the FAQ. Can the first few people take notes of any problems or questions they have and things or that nature.
Thanks everybody
Thank you, I'll try it out with the new Energy release. I'd be happy with the reg files to import it doesn't even need to be a cab!
Thanks!

Cab files are better because they can be removed and Reg files can't. So if one of these files causes a problem your stuck and that's why it's labeled as alpha software. Also labelling it as that will scare off the less experienced users from trying it and doing themselves a mischief.
V0.2 will be all cab files as far as possible but don't expect a release until 0.1 has had a thorough real world testing.
oh. it is better ,if i find this post eight hour ago.
it drives me nuts ,everytime i get into a new nrg rom.
thank you very much.
Great idea man, thank you so much for this!
Thanks a lot for this! It will definitely save me a lot of time after a rom update. I just have to hope I've set them up correctly and dont break something

My temptation would be to assume that the FAQ is written for me if I can install and get it working anyone can. For instance in the wifi detailing where the various parm's can be found would make it much easier to install. Very happy to install on what you have and pass back any questions assumptions.
As I frequently flash(ROM's only) I can help with refining the documentation.

Sweet, thanks. That is exactly the sort of thing i'm looking for, because it's been over a year since i did any kind of manual writting i'm pretty rusty. It also doesn't i developed most of the parts in just over 24 hours working on my phone and not my pc everything is a bit scattered in my mind. That's the reason why the readme looks the way it does. It all came out in a bit of a splurge.
The wifi script is one of my older scripts and it took 3 attempts to get right and now i can't for the life of me find the resource on ms technet that i used.
I'll probably have a sitdown over the weekend and have a rerun through the readme and make it a bit more detailed. If i can make it as easy to install as possible then the faq won't be such an important thing
How many people want me to include a coreplayer config.xml in the next version? i've got one that works perfectly with myplayer and turbo3d.
Nice Work
I used a number of these to flash the latest Energy Rom and it worked out great. Very smooth! It will be interesting to see what is added on in the future. Thank you for putting the time in and starting a new thread.

I'm taking suggestions for additions. So how about one?
Very interesting sir!
I am going to flash the new Energy ROM either tonight or tomorrow and so will chuck this in with it.
I wont use several of them as I dont use those aspects, but those I do will return with feedback.
I have been frustrated with this as well.... fingers crossed.
