WM6 Crossbow English Edition with Simplified Chinese viewing. 30MB RAM free!

I have been using a WM6 Crossbow English Edition ROM (cooked by me) with Simplified Chinese (and Traditional Chinese and Japanese) viewing capabilities for over a month now. It's rock solid and stable. The best part is that after the flash, it still has 30MB RAM free!
This rom is a plain vanilla ROM with wince.nls replaced. New font sunfon.ac3 added. Everything is original either directly from Microsoft ROM or HTC addon. Maybe that's why it is rock solid and just works.
I generally use English and want a ROM that is minimally changed to enable occasional viewing of Chinese web sites.
I upload the rom and the kitchen I used to cook this rom. I hope any update you made can be shared here as well. Any suggestions (I am sure there will be plenty) are more than welcome.
. Download Windows Mobile Crossbow English Edition ROM with Simplified Chinese (and Traditional Chinese and Japanese) viewing capabilities from mobiletux.com
Note that I also included G4 SoftSPL Flash any ROM to CID locked G4 in the zip file so the phone warranty should be intact. You could certainly use your usual way of flashing the rom.
. Download Kitchen used to cook above rom from mobiletux.com
Note that this kitchen is a slight modificiation from theloon's "Official 318 WM6 kitchen". I claim no credit for any of the programs in the package. Quote from the thread: 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!
Also I don't know how to create a package that will replace WinCE.nls and add the font file and registry info. So the wince.nls was replaced with the new one, sunfont.ac3 and registry info were added via HTC Button 1.5. So please include HTC Button 1.5 when cooking your own rom. The original wince.nls was in the zip file at root for the reference as well (but not used).
No input method was included yet, because I haven't found a way to include the preferrably the original input method from a WM6 pro Chinese ROM.
How to create your own ROM: all you have to do is just run Start-V1.2.bat and follow the on-screen instructions.
Some screenshots for what the settings are when creating your own ROM.
I also included the original PDF instruction created by FARIA for description.

Really? I love to hear how you did that. With Chinese too?

When are you uploading this? I'm using CE-star now and it's working fine, but your 30megs memory thing is tempting.

I am uploading as I am posting this.

Cool, thanks. Is it possible to use penpower for Chinese input or I still need CE-star?

Part of the reasons to post this is that I don't know how to include a default input method. I am hoping to get a default Simplified Chinese input method from a rom instead of CE-Star.

Which build please?

Original WM6 Crossbow Edition build 318.

Thank you. So, No Chinese input, just view,right? Simple Chinese?

No input yet. You could view Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Japanese.

I'll wait for a cab...
Tempting... but loving the speed of the latest ROMs...
Be sure to tell us if they make one based on the 19xx roms or create a cab...

Still no cab eh?
Anybody know if the wince.nls file can be replaced via a cab?
Just to reconfirm, the only changes made to the kitchen is the wince.nls, addition of the font and some registry settings? If someone can upload just the necessary files, maybe I can create a cab and see if it works. I'm currently using Loon's V8.1 kitchen and kinda lazy to dl an older kitchen just to get three files...
Has anybody had the chance to see if the font is compatible with all programs? The last time I used a font viewing cab, it changed the "/" to a "$" in Total Commander...

Please help Translating a ROM

Hi there
For the moment I haven't found a french 6.1 rom that suits my needs.
So I was wondering about starting cooking. But in fact there are WWE very good roms and I was wondering if it is possible to translate a ROM that way
1. extract the OEM_Lang_*** folder from the official HTC french ROM
2. extract a WWE ROM (of course with the authorization of the cooker !)
3. replace the OEM_Lang folder
4. re-cook the ROM & flash
Thank you for your help
Greg
PS : I found the thread dealing with translating with emulator files but for now there are no localized emulator files for wm 6.1

maybe with kaiser kitchen or install then dump a french rom...
that is the question

i'm no expert being that i only got in the kitchen a month ago, but from what i can see your steps make sense. i'm not one hundred percent sure that it will work but i would say try it, dump the WWE rom, so long as you are not releasing it as a new rom the chef will have no problem, and then do as you said. replace OEM_lang_*** with the folder from your french ROM. whether it works or not post the results, i kinda want to see what happens. you might also be able to ask the chef of the WWE rom that you want to use if he knows how to do it.

you also need to replace the *.mui in the sys folder.

Your problems are:
1. you must looking for a chef that shares with you own cook (very very difficult)
2. you must looking for packages (very difficult)
3. you have to change also *.mui in \Sys dir (as have told you xtreme_g)
4. you have to modify also RGU in some \OEM dir
Then you can rebuild and cook. You can use the ervius+bepe's package tool.
Good luck

All VOX ROM Cookers,
Can you pl check this ROM for VOX, i think then Encrption feature and all you are missing in current customised 6.1 version should work?
Why don't give it a try?
One more link, if it is useful: https://rsddownload.motorola.com/download/AT&T_Q9h_01.09.28R_Standalone_Update.exe

I am downloading the Europe version, I hope German is included!

Already tried this.
We can't extract firmware because of new motorola system files, i don't found a tool to extract binaries (*.sbf file).
Bye.

It's encrypted .
no body can extract the rom out of the phone or extract the sbf rom file.
i know how to extract q8 sbf rom file, but the q9 rom is encrypted.
The core version is not latest , only 19214(AKU 1.0.4)
i am using 19593 (AKU 1.1.7)

Hey Hikey,
Where were you man? searching for you, you are one of the key members here, what about your new invention, i mean any new update on VOX ROM?

how can we extract this rom?

the first two links seem to be holding the new ROM however with an sbf extension. I am wondering what kind of RUU will open it. Also, seems that these ROM are encrypted. Technically, one should not care about decrypting the rom if he plans to just apply it. So back to square 1: What kind of RUUxxxx.exe file reads SBF rom images?
By the way, the third link is irrelevant, it will only allow you to download an official updated from motorola which so far (after trial of course) doesnt upgrade your mobile yet.

I want to use 041f MUI files in this rom for my Vox. how can I pick this files?

some body extracted it already
http://bbs.mofan.mobi/viewthread.php?tid=13087

thanks for the link

I cannot open the page

yes, i think link is dead.

Works fine for me That's so cool my phone is in french again
If it still doesn't work for you I'll upload it but not right now I'm pretty busy

Are you talking about your VOX upgraded with Motorola q9h ROM???

What missing things so far got resolved by using files from Q9h ROM like:
Storage Card Encryption? any other issue currently running with all cooked 6.1 ROMs here.

what people want is

Storage card encryption still doesn't work. I think we need a genuine 6.1 vox xip for this...
I'm also playing with SYS 19700 it's so much faster when I scroll, pocket ie is actually almost usable
But the fonts look ugly and I forgot to put in t9. maybe that's why it scrolls so fast.. We'll see..

sounds cool. Somehow I dont manage to download it
Can somebody post a zip with the Dutch MUI? 0413 / 1043
Thanx!'

German customatization of Opentouch Roms

Hello there,
anyone tried to change WM6.1 to german or another language?
Actually, I work with the "OpenTouch"-roms. Many thanks for this. These are amazing roms!
I'm able to translate the Manila2D plugin. I attached this file. This file imports a translated 0409.mui. This works great!
When I import *.0407.mui-Files I'm not able to run the Phone Dialog, the contacts Dialog or the SMS-Dialog. This also happens when I rename the Manila2d.0409.mui into Manila2D.0407.mui. After that I change through registry the language to 0407.
The import of this Files are also attached. I try also every not existing 0407 file, which is there as 0409, to 0407.
I have the same issue => I cannot run phone,- contacts and SMS-dialog.
Can anyone help me?
P.S.: OpenTouch 7.3.1 works great without modifications!

pls help me
I try to extract the *.mui files from WM6.1 and I copy these to windowsfolder the next reboot the system is rebooting again and again.
Could anyone help me?
The German rom is : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420008

You can not recook herald roms since they are protected.
There are no rgu files include so the rom will not work when you try to recook them.
If you want a german version, please pm me and as time allows I can cook one for the german folks,

hi,
i would be very pleased, too!! the new open touch rom is great, but in a german version it would be gorgeous.
greets

The open touch rom in German would be breath-taking, I agree!!

What a offer! WOW! Would be great!

i would be very pleased, too!!

Since ttran is on his deserved holiday, this strategy should work as well to generate a largely german (or other) ot7.x phone (Manilla2D):
download the german file in the manilla 2D language thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432965
Copy all the unzipped files to the windows folder (this will overwrite the english language in 409 with the 407 information without needing to change the registry). Works nicely for me.

tested?
Hi,
does anyone already tested this strategy? I have no time at the moment to test and in case of brick take some hours to restore everything.

Which rom should I use?

Hi, I use gonzos rom right now but the WiFi and the bluetooth doesnt work... And I am looking for something new.
The problem is that I'm a total newbie on this kind of things, and wondering if someone could just pick a rom that have working wifi & bt. There is so many roms to choose and I dont know which one is best
Another thing is that I want to have working swedish T9, right now it doesnt work with the rom I use.
Sorry if my english is bad,
Thank you very much

OMG, that was a really(!!) fast answer! Thank you, now I want to know why you think that rom is better than the others.

First of all you should know whether you want WM 6.0 or 6.1!
For 6.0 The only recommendation can be New Guava!
For 6.1 there are a lot of different ROMs.
There are "Lite" ROMs (e.g. the one tipu suggested, or mine (link is in the signature).
And there are normal ROMs (e.g. Dr. G's or others) and last but not least there are ROMs with the appearance of the new HTC Rose.

Clean Rom by Fireburned
I would also recommend the clean ROM 1.1 by fireburned. I am using it at the moment and it is extremely stable and I did not have any problem with it. Wifi, bluetooth all seems to work very well.
He might be working on a new version of the clean ROM and I am eagerly waiting for the new version.
Good luck on your search for a best ROM for you.
Thearif

The clean rom looks good. Can I get the black "rose"-theme?
Another question.. The T9cabfiles with swedish, is it a wordlist or just a keyboardmap? Because since the last time I flashed I had the orginal rom before, with swedish language.
I flashed it and tried to use te T9cab-file, and the keyboard worked with the swedish letters åäö but I had to make my own words to the wordlist, because there were not any words in it.
Thank you for the answers!

Can I install this call progres screen on a clean 6.1 rom?

Well the background - yes!
Otherwise no, I don't think so it's only an OEM Package, it's the so called Phone Canvas 2G.
I'll attach the package and you can try it out. The files all go into Windows and the reg settings are in the *.rgu (it's a hidden file)!

In your zip file there are two folders, should I put the content of these folders in win folder?
How to import the reg settings?
I've just flashed the clean rom now to try this.

Yes all of them go into the windows folder if you want to try it. Except the f1450213-7878-4129-b4c5-59bc4573fc58.rgu and f1450213-7878-4129-b4c5-59bc4573fc58.dsm and the 52f4613f-530b-415d-952b-f87fa98b9871.dsm and the mxipupdate_PACKAGE_Rose_PhoneCanvas_2G_0409.provxml! I am attaching a standard *.reg file for you, for which you need a registry editor for WinMo!
But as I said, I don't know if it'll work!

OK, I'll import the reg file but what to do with these files:
f1450213-7878-4129-b4c5-59bc4573fc58.rgu and f1450213-7878-4129-b4c5-59bc4573fc58.dsm
52f4613f-530b-415d-952b-f87fa98b9871.dsm
mxipupdate_PACKAGE_Rose_PhoneCanvas_2G_0409.provxml

Do nothing, you don't need them at all!

It is working 100%
It will be nice if someone can make a cab file with it.
THANKS!

I will. But not today!
