You MUST select one of the touch dll options in order for your phone to work properly. If you don't, it won't let you calibrate the screen after flashing.
You MUST select a Comm Manager selection, or it ain't gonna work!

If you don't know what to do with a nk.nbf file, or the difference between a guid and a ruu, you might want to do some homework before jumping in head first.

Here's the new Kaiser Home Plugin: Kaiser Home Plugin
I'm not a cook.
I'm looking forward to the release of your build. I've used several of your rom's and they are always great. Thanks for your hard work.
Wow, A rom with everything already in it... Can't wait for this one!!

lol - after staying up till 4 to debug this thing, I'm not sure I'll be releasing any roms for a while. Plus I've got a lot going on at work - so my troubleshooting time is severly limited.
For now, I have my personal one up there (I'm working on the 8 button now). We'll see how things go...
Mattk_r is it possible to post your own ROM. It looks good, and has everything I need. Can you give us een rapidshare link?
Thanks for the great work.

That's why I'm focusing on getting a kitchen out for users to create their own. No one person can create a build that fits everyone's needs.
"feed 'em a fish and they'll come back for more - give 'em the pole, and they can fish for themselves"... another fortune cookie

Also - note that I didn't start a new Pandora releasea thread. Other than the one I buried at the bottom of post 1 here, I'm leaving the cooking to the cooks. I want to work on some tools for building - since that's where I see the most need right now anyway.
Cant wait for this
Okay, I updated the kitchen with the missing ClearStorage.exe and my build ROM downloads. Enjoy.
I noticed your other thread about removing .exes and .dlls from the rom first to save space in the OS, does this package have that work applied to it or should i go through and remove all dlls and exes from folder with that file in it the name of which i cant remember at the mo?>
Used the pandora kitchens before and mighty impressed with them, keep up the good work
thank you for the wonderful kitchen
is there a rapidshare link for the kitchen??

unfortunately, no. It's too big. I tried megaupload, but it was horribly slow. If anyone can mirror, I'd appreciate it.
ugh.. getting this at like 15k/sec
I found what looks to be a few minor bugs in the kitchen, so far I haven't seen anything major yet but I'll post whatever other findings arise if any.
1 Voice command settings link doesn't show up in start / settings after cooking.
2 Voice speed dial settings link shows up in start / settings but I'm pretty sure I didn't select it.
3 Voice speed dial shows up in start / programs even though it's not wanted.
4 Mobipocket link shows up in start / programs but it wasn't selected in the kitchen.
5 still won't cook with Implus selected in the kitchen.
Let me know when you want me to break something else Matt. LOL!
h4ck, you're right, definitely slow downloading from there. I was getting between 20 and 30.
Just an Idea, If it's too big for RapidShare, it could be split into 2 (or more) chunks using winrar.
If I had a server outside of the US, I'd gladly donate some space and bandwidth but unfortunately they're both here in the US.

I'll post just the SYS and ROM folders as a single download, which might help a bit, and I can use seperate download servers.
MobiPocket is a default app - and installs automatically.
Not too worried about impulse - I removed it from the OEM pack.
I didn't see any issue with VSD - but then that's what I use. Did you install VC or something else? Did you hard-reset between tests?
I'm posting a new kitchen build with the 8 button touch comm manager, which will be up in the next few hours.
Thanks!
This Kitchen has built in AT&T customize on first install and on HR, if you don't need it just remove the OEMOPERATORS FOLDER from the OEM Folder.
This build contains SYS and ROM in "Part #1" and OEM packages in "Part #2"
This Kitchen is so complete I had to break into 2 parts. Download and extract both parts and put all files and folders into one directory to use.
I am not responsible if you don't know what you are doing and brick your phone, but in the spirit of XDA-Developers I am sure someone here willing to help!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Latest SYS and ROM (part1) Ver8.1.0
Latest OEM Packages (part2) Ver8.1.0
Version Information:
ALL "call home" issues have been castrated! No more Customer feedback.
SDHS Memory should be full supported now! Seems to have always been present in the Official MS Wizard ROM.
All Phone issues resolved! Use the proper radio for your carrier and phone.
Wifi Issues resolved! Automatically connect to preferred networks.
Connect to Internet Via Active Sync.
For Clarification:
1) This is the original InGeNeTiCs' ROM all I did in this Version is strip out the "call home" stuff, added a few dlls that were missing but were needed for some of the HTC/touch apps (these files can be found in sys/missing files).
2) There are two OEMOPERATORS folders, one in OEM and one in SYS the one in OEM is one I put there as a example of how you can add your own cab files for settings, splash screen or whatever it is you need simply edit the config.txt file and put whatever files in the files you need. *I am not going to to into great detail how to do this all it takes is a little common since. You can delete mine if you like.
3) There are no hidden, super secret, xda-elite only, make my Wizard fly, bull**** tweaks included. just a clean, won't leave a bad taste in your mouth unless you burn it, Kitchen.
4) My only reason for creating this kitchen is to prove that the "InGeNeTiCs'- Official Microsoft-Made Specifically for the Wizard-Drivers and all ROM" is as solid and stable as any other ROM or kitchen out there if done right. Other than all I did is create and add a lot of OEM packages so you could have choices in life.
The base is like Coca-Cola "Original".
Everything works as it should the only limitations are M$ related!
This has been a fun ride but the ride seems to have come to an end.
This release is so stable that I can not bear to call it a beta anymore.
A HUGE THANK YOU to all that have contributed to this project. In the end I'm sure we all wanted WM6 but we wanted a stable version that didn't crash, lock up, and just plain ol' worked!
Credits to the ones that made the tools to make this possible: faria, anichillus, bepe and mattk_r for asking me to take the plunge.
The testers, who without their reports this would not have been possible:

hi
can i bea beta tester can you send me the liknk to download
First Thoughts.....
This ROM looks to be more stable than the last one, and also I see that the reboot slowdown issue is non-existent.(It would slow down horribly on the 3rd-or-so reboot/SR) Overall, faster.
HTC AudioManager + Recorder are NOT working, but maybe that's just a package issue (I used one of my packages I had lying around). Pretty much that's it.
Wi-Fi is OK, nothing major. No phone issues as of yet.
I did not test the Home Plugin because I used my 6-tab plug. That works quite well.App Launching is a little bit faster, or maybe that would just be me
Word completion works,KB is fine (tested in Notes)
I would give it a 9.5/10 (only because of no Touch camera ,otherwise, it rocks!)
Thanks for your input!

Audio manager package that is in OEM that was included in this build is reworked for this kitchen and works fine. Recorder is in process still.
Do you know of a working 4. camera package or one in a pre-built Wizard ROM?
Do you have a Home Plugin OEM to incorporated?

This works with the included *cities.xml file. The PNGs are compressed to increase speed. Works fine. It's in color.
Got AM working (my mistake, used a wrong package) but VoiceRec is still offline. Not that I use it all that much.
I think I have a bug : you need to have WMP installed to get AM working.
EDIT: New package with "Pro" icons added.

Remove clock and put battery indicator on top instead (if you press & hold it will bring up power/battery tab).
Add day and date to touch home plug-in you can change it to display as you like:
dddd will give you day of week as a word as in "Thursday", dd will give you date style (numeric day of the month) as in "30" without quotes of course.
The same is true for month mmmm and year yyyy so experiment!

HTC WMP today plug in
I added a bunch of packages to the kitchen and have de-bugged most of them, this one I can't find. During the OS Build the process errors out at "OEM\HTC WMP Today Plug-in" with a dialog that says "The file 'temp\dump\WmpPluginToday.dll' already exists. Know I know this is telling me that a previous package has used this dll flile, what I can't find is which one it is!
Any input greatly appriciated.

Thanks Merlin.. I do have your 6-Tab in the OEM and checked off. I will put a note in the Options.xml so I wont forget.
I am having the same issue with 'OEM\HTC X Button 1.5 mattk" the dialog says "...TaskManager.cpl already exists". I have X Button 1, X button 1.5 mattk and X button 1.5 whiterat in the OEM only whiterat's is selected though.

HTC X-Button 1.5 offers nothing more over 1.0. 1.0 works fine with this ROM ver 5.0 (I use it)
But, if you really want it ,try mattk's package.

Ok, I already took both the 1.5 ver out of OEM. Now its complaining about sys/touchflo.dll.
edit; NOob error... left both touchflo and non-touchflo enabled in the build... fixed.
Have you built with the NON-TouchFlo dll selected?

That's what's in my current build. Nothing major to report of.
1st flash test report
Ok,
So I got the build to run with Merlin's help (thank you Sir). Flashed back to T-Mobile 2.26, up to IPL/SPL 3.08 and GSM 2.69.11 then the kitchen build.
First the good news:
1. For the first time in a dozen or so ROMs I have flashed Voice Command workes flawlessly! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
2. Basic functions work good, no glaring errors.
3. As theloon noted, the backlight controls will not lock the wizard.
The bad news:
1. If I attempt to launch any CAB file (including the 2.69 radio fix) I get a message saying "CAB failed to load"
2. see #3 above, it doesnt lock the wizard, it however will not open backlight control either. recommend taking this out of the launcher and just leave it in the settings page.
3. HTC Audio manager, if I attempt to open any audio file I immediatly get a message saying "critically low on system memory..." WMP still works fine.
4. The dastardly weather application doenst like the XML file i built for it. I wish there was a way to test that without building. (see questions below)
5. I used merlin's 6 button HTC home plug in, looks very nice BTW, couldnt do much testing on it since my contacts DB is at work. My only negative on this one, the musical note icon (far right) is very hard to see. I dont know who did the icon art but perhaps we could find a better icon?
6. I tried loading the AT&T extended ROM as part of this build, bad idea. The flash gets to 5% and crashes... took it out, flashes fine.
Questions:
1. Is there a way to test the weather XML file without building it into the ROM? IE: If i build the the ROM with the weather XML file included in the build I can only edit it. I cant delete, replace etc. So I was thinking that if I took it out of the build and put the file in after, maybe I could speed up testing.
2. Several of the packages dont seem to have any output, IE: the WMP home plug in, I dont see anything on the home screen that relates to WMP?
So there it is, I have to re-flash to a fully working ROM before I go to work tomorrow. I will be on line all day (from my office) so post away..
thanks Loon for letting me test this, great fun!

LOL? I think not dear Senior Member... I have tried every possible way to delete that file, stop the plug included. The file properties say "included in ROM" and will not allow changes to file prop. Thats why I asked about building without it, so the file properties would allow changes.

Ok,
So I got the build to run with Merlin's help (thank you Sir). Flashed back to T-Mobile 2.26, up to IPL/SPL 3.08 and GSM 2.69.11 then the kitchen build.
First the good news:
1. For the first time in a dozen or so ROMs I have flashed Voice Command workes flawlessly! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
2. Basic functions work good, no glaring errors.
3. As theloon noted, the backlight controls will not lock the wizard.
The bad news:
1. If I attempt to launch any CAB file (including the 2.69 radio fix) I get a message saying "CAB failed to load"
2. see #3 above, it doesn't lock the wizard, it however will not open backlight control either. recommend taking this out of the launcher and just leave it in the settings page.
3. HTC Audio manager, if I attempt to open any audio file I immediatly get a message saying "critically low on system memory..." WMP still works fine.
4. The dastardly weather application doenst like the XML file i built for it. I wish there was a way to test that without building. (see questions below)
5. I used merlin's 6 button HTC home plug in, looks very nice BTW, couldnt do much testing on it since my contacts DB is at work. My only negative on this one, the musical note icon (far right) is very hard to see. I dont know who did the icon art but perhaps we could find a better icon?
6. I tried loading the AT&T extended ROM as part of this build, bad idea. The flash gets to 5% and crashes... took it out, flashes fine.
Questions:
1. Is there a way to test the weather XML file without building it into the ROM? IE: If i build the the ROM with the weather XML file included in the build I can only edit it. I cant delete, replace etc. So I was thinking that if I took it out of the build and put the file in after, maybe I could speed up testing.
2. Several of the packages dont seem to have any output, IE: the WMP home plug in, I dont see anything on the home screen that relates to WMP?
So there it is, I have to re-flash to a fully working ROM before I go to work tomorrow. I will be on line all day (from my office) so post away..
thanks Loon for letting me test this, great fun!

What I can deduce from your observations all/most of your "hanging" problems seem to stem from the final size when you build your ROM.
I have experienced this myself, the max size for a wizard rom is around 56 MB for the ROM, but that does not include Boot loaders, Radio and Extended ROM.
In my case my phone is locked so the "customize" just uses storage/program space and does some reg tweaks.
If you want more space in your build you can use the compression tools located elsewhere in this forum.
As for the Home Plug weather XML make sure it's attributes are not set to "read only" and you should be able to exchange them at will and SR to test there usability.
My HTC Audio Manager works flawlessly not sure what you did! be careful using other OEM packages, the ones I included in this beta were designed and tested to work with this beta.
FYI HTC Audio Manager was built using Windows Media SDK so it uses components of WMP (dlls and such), I will probably move those components to different directories.
Backlight is a matter of a redirect/link.
Feel free to fix any/all issues and post for everyone to test!!!

...but tell me, can you "overwrite" that ROM file? you should...
Hello all
I cooked this rom for maximum speed & space
it is a "light" rom ...with all extra MS "useless" stuff is removed, most other useful programs can be added by CABs anyway based on user preference
this rom allows user modification / user customization "UC"
Users can add files from the memory card to be automatically added / installed after flashing or hard reset
The user customization works silently in the background, please do not interrupt the process until its completed & the device is reset
Donations through paypal welcome...many hours of fixing & cooking here...thanks in advance
please click donate link below
Here is the download link for 23569 V3 rom + 6 MB pagepool + 3D drivers
http://www.4shared.com/file/wLJ4O4bc/ahmedfikry_wm65_23569_Tilt_3D_.html
to test the 3D drivers, here is a cab with some sample tests:

for the users who want to get rid of their old splash boot screen
here is the link for a new one that matchs my rom 2nd splash image
i did not cook it inside my rom for the users who prefer to keep something they may already like
this has to be flashed speratly & will not affect the rom itself, it will only flash the splash screen

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USER CUSTOMIZATION
Simply, here is what you need to do:
* if you just want the LIGHT rom: flash as usual & do NOT do any of the following instructions
* if you want a LOADED rom:
- download & extract this XDA_UC file to the root of your memory card :
http://www.4shared.com/file/252299809/6f73f237/XDA_UC.html
- flash the rom & follow the pocess prompts until soft reset is done
- if you need only some of the files included delete the unneeded file form the XDA_UC folder, in the XDA_UC folder above I have only the really useful CABs that almost everyone can benefit from (see list below) ...but you can still choose to keep or remove according to your needs
- if you want to add cabs or files copy them to XDA_UC folder
File List in XDA_UC folder:

Manila:
for users who like manila, i prefer to keep my rom light, but you can use the M2D package below to add it:
http://www.4shared.com/file/231114088/6db7ebb9/ahmedfikry_M2D_package.html
I use the older version of Manila because you can use M2DC (customizer) to change to look of it, skins are available here:

Thanks so much for this. As far as the MMS, I remembered from another bare ROM that MMS is not stock. I downloaded the cab CRCs_ArcSoft_MMS_v5.cab from here, but can't find the link again.
I had to edit my post 'cause i was wrong...
- Calendar started to work after a soft-reset
- ActiveSync was not working with the PC (Over the air was fine)... I uninstall ActiveSync from my PC and reinstall it... Everything is working fine...
- The only thing missed is Office... Any change for a CAB?
Clean, stable, FAST... Quietly Brilliant..!
THANKS for this great rom, exactly what i was looking for...
(Please, help me with Office CAB)
For MMS, just install Arcsoft MMS from the HTC Mega ROM.

Hi
I flashed your rom and it seems to be OK
Thanks!
I kindly ask you for a "patch" to BLUETOOTH EXPLORER
(in my previous rom 6.1 I liked to use that feature)
THANKS AGAIN
ALON
Hi,
just flashed. Very nice ROM. Really fast and clean as promised (tried with Spb Mobile Shell 3).
Just noted two minor issues: there is no Sliding Sound setting (so you cannot configure sounds on open/close keyboard) and no Wireless LAN configuration panel (the one with PowerMode tab where you can select the power of wireless card for best performance or best battery).
Thanks again for sharing your work.
i will see what i can do about the requests above (BT explorer & WLAN settings)
but can other users test the vibration with this rom...some users reprt that if you place the phone on vibration, it does not work with alerts or incoming calls (it shows screen but stays silent)
let me know if you have this issue so i can try to fix

The sliding sound can be changed from the Sliding Sound exe in the Windows folder (workaround).
About the vibration...Mine is working fine.
Again, great rom! Can you post short descriptions for what each of the cabs in the pack do? Some are not familiar to me. Also, a small issue with the camera...hitting the camera button flashes the camera screen, then the Picture/Video app but never get's to the camera. If I use the shortcut, I can get to the camera, but it will not take a picture. Changing the setting to "half press" will take a pic.

Great, trying v5 now Thanks
Here's what I have:
Fuze/ATT
ROM - Windows Mobile® 6.5.x
CE OS 5.2.23533 (Build 23541.5.5.0)
Radio - 1.14.25.35
Protocol - 52.64c.25.35U
The Captain's Special - Sense 2.1 - Build 23541 - FUZE Edition
I like the CHome setup ... but.
I use SPB phone suite, and SPB has basically said they have no interest in dealing with titanium - they are only supporting it as a today screen plugin.
So, it looks like my best bet to have the functionality of all three things (if I want it) is to use TFDetacher AND SecondToday, have second today run phone suite and launch on start up, and have TFDetacher load the WindowsDefault home screen with TF3D as a toggled item.
My question to you:
Do you know of any profile switcher program designed as a titanium plugin that I could then use CHome Editor to add to the home screen?
The functionality that phone suite has, that I have not seen in other programs like phoneweaver, is to establish whitelists and blacklists of phone numbers that can be tied to a time based profile, so that, for example, only family can reach me at night ....
edited to add:
It seems to be working with Co0kie's Home Tab, and second today set as a quick link, WITHOUT telling it to run at start up.
I'd still like to find something that can become a Titanium plugin, because right now, I am NOT using TFDetacher because having that and SecondToday running at the same time seemed to be wicked laggy (yes, I'm in Boston).
I have begun reaching beyond my continuation of S.V.I's great Angel ROMs and will start looking to WM6.5 and 6.5.x ROMs.
I will be standing on the shoulders of Cracing's work with CR96 ROMs.
I add Smartskey, QuickMenu and xTask. I update to dotFred TaskManager version 3.3 too.
Some notes:
At home screen, left soft key is Start. Quickly tap image or touch left soft key and the honeycomb start menu comes up. Long press the left soft key and QuickMenu comes up.
With the honeycomb menu showing you can long press the right soft key and it will close, but not permanently like it used to. I figured out the exception for smartskey.
My ROM parses SDAUTO without SDAutoRun, but you need to make this change. Copy SDConfig.txt to SDAUTO folder and rename to Config.txt. Edit the file to remove HIDE:, RESET, LOCK, etc. Change CAB: to MCAB: without a space after to allow manual install of the cab. Change CAB: to SCAB: without a space after to allow automatically selecting to install the cab to the storage card.
If you do not create a Config.txt under SDAUTO, my ROM will parse the SDConfig.txt in the root, but it will ignor the LOCK and HIDE commands so all of your cabs will install automatically where ever they install by default.
In most of my ROMS I have started to use the Extended_ROM for more stuff to install. I have not done that with Cracing's. BUT, if you have a Config.txt in your Extended_ROM it will get parsed. I suggest you use the ROM with the empty ExtROM included. If you do not want to overwrite your ExtROM I include a version with no ExtROM.
I haved switched to Connection setup so...
Connection Setup, Data Base Cabs
15.0144 : Link ( From Topaz 1.43.720.1 ROM ) ( Taken from Indian Device, STRONGLY RECOMMENDED FOR INDIAN USERS )
15.0137 : Link ( From Topaz 1.40.707.1 ROM )
Note #1: Connection Setup don't work without installing the data base cab.
Note #2: Install the latest version data base cab and use the connection setup from settings -> connections.
1.9 m2d rom
From Cracing's CR96 Touch HD thread.

This is Cracing's ROM from the kitchen he posted, the only things I changed are listed above.
Later I will be tweaking to improve anything I can if it is possible. Right now it looks to have 17 to 18 MB RAM free and about 35 MB Memory free.
Here are the final versions. Sorry the best I can do is still 16 to 18 MB RAM.
I did update some things and added Adobe Reader, so I took out the games.

See first post for some notes.
Another spare
And another
can you tell us more about the rom? what programs have, how much free ram?
Good job, RoryB!
I have been busy, but will try your ROM.
My real interest is the RC5 kitchen, since RC5 is my all-time favorite 6.5 ROM.
I can do little things, like update the apps, but I've always struggled when trying to update OS.
I have played a bit with this released version. Cannot seem to get more RAM. I have tweaked a few things in and out. Probably will release a final version next week.
Will skip Extendir for now since it is in flux at the moment.
So, I will start looking at Cracing's other kitchen release. Version 6.5.0.3.3 RC5 Reloaded
You can build a multi-language ROM with the Italian language? I also want to learn it yourself but I need help. If you want I can help with the translation into Italian.
I apologize. I do not know how to build for other languages and my kitchen is manual. I mean it is not visual kitchen where you can select languages. You have to put the correct OEM and ROM folders into the batch to build different languages.

It has some interesting changes.
At first glance, I think I like the original look better. CRACING always gave the roms a look that could pass for an official rom, and I liked that. Yet some of the new things are useful. So it's a trade-off.
Battery bar: useful
Memory bar: useful
Quickmenu: Useful, but it makes me pull out my stylus.
Smartskey: excellent! CRACING used to include this, but stopped when it had problems with 6.5. I'd rather it start the 6.5 menu instead of quickmenu.
Icons of running programs: handy way to switch tasks, but clogs the top bar, and not touch friendly. Alttab is better.
Digital display of free memory: seems redundant to me.
Task manager change: I like the old one better.
File Manager: I don't like the change in the folder selector.
Seems to have decent free RAM. I wonder what it would be without the add-ons.
I see that most of the new things I commented on are configurable parts of the newer task manager. I think I could grow to like it

I tend to create basic black ROMs.
QuickMenu can be configured to have larger items to be more finger friendly.
If you exit QuickMenu, Smartskey long press left will open the honeycomb. Old version start menu does not seem to exist in WM6.5
Yeah I am still thinking of going back to the older version of dotFred's task manager. It seemed cleaner in a way. Delete fexplorer.exe and the original should come up (I think)
xTask can be configured to not show the digital memory readout.
I'm using CRACING's rom Version 6.5.0.3.3 RC5 Reloaded and while using opera mini 5 it stops, it takes 10+ seconds to work again. This happends often, in your rom opera freezes? In another rom this didn't ocured.

I used UCWEB instead of Opera. Are you running low on memory before it stops?
Can you try closing M2D and CHome to see if Opera still gives trouble.

I closed M2D and Chome and nothing changed. I like the rom, is very fast but the opera problem is annoying. Nobody else experienced this strange behaviour in opera mini final version?
I found another bug in CRACING's rom: I can't set the alarm clock to AM or PM. LE, I fixed that. The problem was that I changed the regional settings to romanian and there wasn't checked the symbol for AM and PM.
