This ROM is released as is. Hope you like it. Been running it for 3 months now and it’s been highly stable and very fast. It does everything I want it too, and now with Tetris inside, it does more. Have fun and remember, I am only human.

If you use this ROM you accept responsibility anything that may happen to your device. Don’t come crying to me if you didn’t take the time to read about how to flash or unlock your phone. Please read through those posts before attempting to flash this or any ROM to your phone.
Also I will ignore all posts about why do you have this or can you put this into the rom. There are some great kitchens out there. I am not Burger King, so you get it my way, not yours.
I first want to thank my FC Prez, akashastrega, for pulling me out of retirement for this release. I have a feeling its been in the making now for 3 months. I have tested it and I know it works.
Also, I want to thank (insert your name here) for giving my ROM a chance.

hummm...looks good stuff! lets try! lets try!

"yes, Yes, YES!!!"
...and remember, I am not just a Jag user, I am the Fan Club President...NTS, you SO rock.
Great Job NTS, Fast for sure. One small item. You have the older "Windows Live" still on, no big deal, I just updated it. You really outdone yourself with the cingular NTS settings cab. After I install that, I have a 5 bar salute. and that is on any rom that I have flashed.
looks good stuff! lets try
i have only one problem at now with this rom.
when i try to install a new keybddr.dll for correct my keyboard layout.
all my hard buttons stop to work, my screen stop to turn when the hard keyboard is open, and all the shortcutes on start menu begins with a "&"
hey looks awesome will download now.
One question though what are the "Standard NTS Rom Tweaks"? Meaning what reg tweaks are built in and what have been left out but are still recomended.
Oh and one more thing whats the page memory on this rom??
Anyway still want to thank Nottoosmart for all his hard work in releasing this rom.

Dude this is the first time I ever upgraded my mda all I have to say is you are a genius but I have one little delimma I want to let you know about. for some reason I can't send or recieve mms messages. would you be able to help? But other than that I love everything ESPECIALLY tetris. Thats like the best part
Hi,
Does it have this problem?
The base rom has a bug / feature where if GPRS is active, unanswered calls may not show up as a missed call and may not give notification of the unanswered call. If this happens, the unanswered call shows up in the history as an answered call with a duration of 1 or 2 seconds.
This is making me nuts, i cannot afford to miss call notifications
The only roms without this problems are TNT based so far...

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

In all honesty, I have yet to see this problem. It works fine for me. As for "features" from T-Mobile, thats why I stay with Cing/AT&T

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

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

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

Please Read Things to Know:
1. This Rom has not got midlet manager so you need to install one before trying to run any midlet applications.
2. You just need to Flash Rom, hard reset, wait for customisation to finish.
3. To activate cube please run Ftouchflo.config in Touchflo Folder and enable Ftouchflo in general tab. To de-activate the cube just do the reverse.
For useres who wants to re-align thier screen after set up.
To fix screen alignment:
1. Run touchflo.config in Touchflo folder and untick in general tab enable touchflo this will ask you to soft reset your device. after soft reset you can then re-align your screen. to activate cube again just enable ftouchflo in touchflo.config again.
Reason is there is a conflict with ftouchflo running which stops the screen alignment configuring properly

Thanks to all the Pros out there who made it possible for us to flash our kaisers i.e POF, OLIPRO, HELMI_C for his quick break through of roms and everyone who else who contributed to the kaiser community.
This Rom is optimised for speed and stability I havent tested it for long so I'm not sure what bugs are there.
Bugs Reported so far:
IN THE RTM VERSION I have updated S2U2 TO 0.85 upon first boot it shows an error just click ok and that will be it. I still can't figure why its happening that's why I didnt update it before but it runs ok after that.
LINK TO ROM below:

CHANGELOG 29.11.07
1. Removed all AT&T apps [ These cabs can be install seperately in the wiki]
2. Fixed Adobe Reader Icon
3. Re-Performance tweaks
4. Removed Romsettings
Rom is all AT&T including drivers and the latest radio. I only modified it to meet the Demands.
UPDATE [29.11.07]
To check for updates on the Touchcube control please check below and download and replace with one in rom.

NEW at&t drivers + new radio
Dutty,
I am a TOTAL n00b with ROM flashing - I just got my AT&T Tilt last Saturday. It is my first mobile device with Windows Mobile - I was a "Treo Palm" user for years, the Blackberry (8800 was the last BB). I got everything figured out for the update on Vista last night - and updated release 3 of the TouchFlow beta... then woke up this AM and flashed the "final" release . All I can say at this point is WOWOWOW!! What a great "product"!! I just sent a few bucks your way via paypal. Thank you for such cool stuff! I look foward to the "AT&T" version. I'm not really sure what the "updated radio" means - time to forum search, but it must be a "good" thing .
On a side note - anyone integrate BlackBerry Connect yet? I had it up and running with the "stock" Tilt ROM (which sucks) and now I need to get it running with Dutty's version. Seems to install and run ok - but I need to activate... (getting some strange password message) then I need to integrate it as the "main" e-mail so it works from the touch cube!!!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK DUTTY!!!!!
New S2U2 v0.85
Dutty,
Just an FYI...
I saw there was a new S2U2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343256
Don't know if this will be incorporated in the new ROM or if you want to put it in future releases.
too funny - I keep hitting "reload" to see if the ROM is "up" yet. LOL!! I think I'm addicted... I just hope that I don't have to call my company's tech support each time I want to re-activate BB Connect after a ROM flash. I get a feeling that I might be flashing pretty often....

I tired the BlackBerry Connect on my Tilt but everytime I tried to install it would seriosly mess up my phone. It would install ok and then when I rebooted my phone would just sit at the Windows Mobile screen and not proceed any further.
Since then I have not tried it on this ROM or any other ROM but I might try it when Dutty releases this one.
BTW - BB Connect works fine for me on Beta 3 and the "Final" version of Dutty's TouchFlow ROM alltheway. I'll be putting it on the AT&T version to... as soon as I can download the ROM . I downloaded the installer cab from a link on this site that gave all of the links for all of the AT&T cabs. One of the AT&T cabs is BB Connect install. I transferred the cab to my memory stick via the PC -> Tilt USB connection.. then installed the cab from file explorer. Not sure if that helps??
new rom now is now up,
Remember please read through first post before asking questions I already mentioned. This is my first time making a TILT rom so unsure what things to look for
WOOOHOO ROM is up.. come to pappa....
Another link!!!!?
Please guys help...Thanks!!
Welcome to my little ROM - which I'm calling Mobile Vista. Why this name? Well, like Vista WM6.1 the newest OS available from MicroSoft at the moment, and some people say it's buggy but I love it and found it very stable!
Firstly, thank you very much to EVERYONE on this forum, especially to those who've posted in this thread and sent comments. I've taken bits for my ROM from pretty much everywhere and everyone, so I can't list everyone whose work I'm using (as I simply don't remember who I got most of it from). If anyone in particular feels annoyed that I've used their work, please PM me and I'll either remove it or credit you accordingly (your choice).
Please take the time to read ALL of this post and post 2. There are a few things I've worked hard on including that I haven't seen anywhere else.
Why did I release a ROM?
I know I'm not the greatest chef (by a long way) but there wasn't anything out there that was JUST the way I wanted it. I loved parts of most ROMs, but each one had something missing, or something I didn't want, so I set about adding/removing the bits myself. I've ended up with a ROM that I like and so I thought I'd share it. I know lots of you will dismiss it, it will never be as good or popular as Duttys, Schaps, Slueth, etc, but if one other person uses it then it was worth the time uploading and sharing it!
Onto the ROM itself:
It started life as Slueth's WM6.1 v3.0, but I've made a LOT of changes since then - ripping bits out, adding bits in, it's been a blast!

Added a couple of new games - Patience and Tangled Bugs
Still to Do
Still a couple of things I can't seem to get to set from flash/hard reset. Once changed, they stay changed, just can't find a way of getting them to start that way:
Even though all the Regional Settings are set to English UK - the option in Settings still shows the default of English US
Can't get the SIP keyboard to start with "Use gestures for the following keys" selected
Screen text size always starts at position 3, I prefer 2
BatteryStatus always starts without the extra lines/indicators showing. I recommend (in the options) ticking everything on page 1, then "Show
more indicators", "Show Powerdrain", "Show WiFi rows", and "Automatically Hide WiFi rows". That's the setup in the screenshots.
Would love to change the Accuweather IE Favourite (which I never use) to XDA-Developers PDA forum, but I can't find where to in my kitchen
Getting rid of customer feedback! I know it goes once you click "no", but can we stop it in the first place?!?
If anyone knows of the way to set any of these within the ROM so they don't have to be done post-flashing, please let me know as they're bugging me!
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and if you have any comments or suggestions please feel free to post them - any feedback greatly appreciated.

FAQ and other details
Please ensure you use a WM6.1 compatible Radio with this ROM I use 1.64.08.21 which works fine for T-Mobile UK. Could everyone else please post which Radio ROM and Network they find works so we can build up a list of what works andwhat doesn't?
Version 1.1 was published at post 82. Anything before that is v1, anything after is v1.1 unless the post says otherwise
New to this?
There's no shame in being new! Welcome. To flash a ROM:
- Make sure you have Hard SPL installed first. If you haven't DO IT NOW, really or else your phone may well break.
- Download the ROM (links in post 1)
- Attach phone to PC via cable and make sure Activesync fires up and connects
- Unpack your ROM download, and run the RUU program
- Follow the on-screen prompts
- Wait nervously
- When it's finished flashing, the phone will take a while starting up - this is normal
- When you get to the Align Screen bit, Hard Reset the phone (important)
- Now follow the start-up screens until the phone reboots
- If you haven't already, make sure you've got a WM6.1 compatible Radio installed. If you don't, you'll experience problems with sound (not just in a call), the camera and your legs will probably drop off too!
- When you've got the ROM installed and the right radio installed, you're off and running!
Issues
1 ) - (Thanks to Ionutz6 for another great spot)
Even though I've updated to the newest version, Today Agenda still appears to crash if you access the options through Start > Today > Items > Today Agenda > Options. As a work around, please tap and hold on Today Agenda on the Today screen, and select Options from the context menu. Does anyone have a suggestion for a Today plug-in calendar that does everything Today Agenda does but doesn't crash?
2) - One or two people have found the phone is in Flight Mode immediately after you flash. If your signal strength stays with the cross, check the Comm Manager to turn Flight Mode off.
3) - (Thanks to cgjones for this spot)
Video calling doesn't work. The button shows in the dialer, but pressing the button just initiates a voice call rather than a video one.
FAQ
Why doesn't this include HTC Home or the Cube?
HTC Home is out because it takes up half the Today screen, and FTouchflo interferes with Transcriber, so the Cube went out in favour of handwriting recognition. Everything in this ROM is there because I use it, or like it, or think it's cool boasting material down the pub! If you think something else deserves to be in, suggest it - I can always make another version with it in if I want!
Why do you duplicate your links in Start Menu into the Programs folders too?
I like it that way! I've got the most used ones (for me) directly under Start, then everything inside Programs. To me, that's just the way it should work - like on your PC, pinning something to the Start menu doesn't remove it from the All Programs list.
Other ROMs have more free memory!
That's because there's quite a bit built into this ROM, and because there's probably lots of files i could safely remove to slim it down. Unfortunately I don't know what 95% of the files under Windows do, so I can't tell which ones can be removed and which can't. If you notice one that can be removed, please mention it here and I'll clean it out for version 2.
I think your ROMs rubbish!
Fair enough, I like it and that was the only reason I built it. May I suggest trying Dutty's or Slueth's as a mainstream alternative (although every ROM on here is great these days). Alternatively, grab yourself a kitchen and make your own ROM - it's great fun!
Looks Good..
Just flashed duttys latest, but will remmber this one..
I like the way you have tomtom and MSVC already installed - time saver.. Thanks
So, you are allow to cook M$ Voice Command in a ROM? I think M$ is going to come get you for that!
I thought long and hard about this

Good question. I took the view that MS VC 1.6 is available in several other ROMs and has been floating around here in cab and OEM for a while - just the US version rather than the UK one. I'd be quite happy using the US one, but it doesn't seem to recognise my voice as well as the UK version.
I've tried to avoid anything that might be warez, so you can't use Coreplayer without having a valid serial (which you get by buying the software!) and no maps come with TomTom (just like the other ROMs with it installed). If the mods decide my ROM does fall on the wrong side of the line, then I'll remove it immediately from these pages.
Thanks for the replies guys, it's nice to try to give a tiny something back to the community I've got so much from!

Thanks Duncstar! I'm really glad my first comment was positive, I was half expecting just a load of flaming as I pressed the "Submit Thread" button!
If VC doesn't come pre-installed on a production Kaiser ROM somewhere then it's warez unless you have a sanctioned trial version installed. What other ROMs include this?
Nice ROM btw
i second that comment on alreay havingtomtom and ms voice command already in there i believe faria a mod here use to cook roms with voice command already included! in the hermes forum!
I'm downloading it now b4 the fuzz does decide to come.. But nah, It looks really good, and mmmmm games. I probally install it Fri or Sat, but have you seen any problems with it? Most importantly, have you tried to install Blackberry Connect, and do I need to do anything with it? I am really feeling Sleuth's 3.0, But will try yours this wknd.. Congratulations on it
If anyone flames a cook, send them my direction. If they dont like the food, then go to a different diner.
BTW, nice look. Very well thought out. I can tell you took your time. D/L as we speak.

Bugger! I know there's OEMs for VC in Alex's ROM kitchen (tried to use it to convert it to UK) and a quick search shows there are other ROMs with it installed (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356683&highlight=voicecommand , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352203&highlight=voice+command , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332737&highlight=msvoicecommand ). I haven't tried installing each of these ROMs to see if their version is UK or US, but would I actually need to find one with the UK VC on it for this ROM to stand?
Surely we're not allowed to discriminate against this ROM just because it's accent is different to the others? Doesn't that breach the European Human Rights Act?
Slueth, I am happy to go with your judgement. I'd LOVE to be able to offer others my ROM (in case they find it useful) but I don't want to bring this site into disrepute. I'm going to have to go to bed now (got to be in work in 6 hours!) but if you feel it's got to go, please feel free to delete the download links from the first post.
Thanks.

Never used Blackberry so can't comment on if it works or not. I know I haven't done anything to MAKE it work. Could the first one to try (if the ROM isn't deemed warez and removed) please post the result and I'll pop it in the second post? Thanks.
I'll bring the VC issue up in the "inquisitors" (moderators) section and see what they think.
wow so could
this is the only cooked rom so far that works with voice command announcing incoming calls and messages from the units speaker ,i dont do bluetooth so i am super happy ccamper thanks bro for sharing your cooking!
at least in my case, this rom is not working with new WM6.1 ROM 1.64.08.21, the phone stays off. im trying the 1.64.06.04 right now. maybe it would be fine if ConfusedStu can reccomend a radio ROM for best experience with his ROM.
EDIT: My bad, the phone is default set to OFF, you need to turn it ON in the comm manager in order to work! I thought my radio is the problem... My oh my, this flashing...
Looks good...
I like it.. I will be playing around with it some more.. but odd thing has happened so far.
When i started the phone after the update it vibrated for about 3 min until I went into the sounds and pressed a selection.
I now find that I have no sounds at all - ie if I have the volume set to whatever level I get no sounds (and I have tried selecting other ringtones to see if that was the problem)
Any suggestions?
Cheers

do a hard-reset (keep both soft keys pressed and do a soft-reset, follow instructions). it is usually a good rule of thumb to do a hard-reset right after installing a new ROM, as you may have found out in some of the chef posts around here...
Still no luck

Good thoughts - I did try this and still have no luck - I did work out what the vibration at the start was - I had a voicemail notification that was activating - and that was the vibration.
Further tests hav found this:
1. Media player shows that it is playing - but with no sound.
2. Ringtones vibrate - but no sound.
3. Speakerphone works fine in a call - I can hear the caller and the caller can hear me.
*shrugs* not sure what the issue is..

I pretty much guarantee that you don't have a WM6.1 radio or Polaris Radio installed do you.
gr8 rom ! especially the today screen layout.
After quite a while in development, Mobile Vista 1.3 is finally ready to see the light of day.
This ROM is the result of the hard work of lots of people: Poorlyduck, Mfrazzz, McMexican, Ghostie, Ionutz, Laurentius, Sleuth, Milesmowbray, and probably some others whom I've forgotten to mention.
What's the ROM all about then?
I prefer a ROM that is ready to use straight from a flash/Hard Reset. Although light ROMs will be quicker, I'm too lazy to spend an hour re-installing and setting up my programs. This ROM contains everything I use built in.
Why the name "Mobile Vista"?
This is the newest OS available from Microsoft at the moment, it still needs development to be fully finished, but I absolutely love it while others moan about it. Am I talking about WM6.1 or Vista?
What's in the ROM?
Glad you asked! It's built on the AT&T build 19209 (3.14) and is UC 2.0 compliant
It's only compatible with Radio 1.65.14.06 at the moment and this is included in the ROM
UPDATE - this ROM is also compatible with 1.65.17.10 and 1.65.20.29. As the 17.10 is the "Radio from Hell" that you cannot change from, I wouldn't recommend this one unless you're already stuck on it!

Optional Extras:
* TomTom 6.032 (no maps included - please supply your own)
* Coreplayer v1.2.2 (Build 3852) (you will need to enter your valid serial on first run)
* MS Voice Command (was in the original AT&T build - removed for some ROMs)
* Vista Dialer is PoorlyDuck's Vista theme - this does NOT support Video Calling or
* 3G Dialer is Nadavi's phone with the background changed to fit in with the non-black theme on the rest of the ROM - this DOES support Video Calling
Where can I download them?
Firstly decide which dialer you want - the Vista one (without Video Calling) or the 3G one (with Video Calling).
Then decide if you want Coreplayer, TomTom, and/or Voice Command (UK or US accent) included.
Once you've decided, go to http://confusedstu.4shared.com and download the ROM of your choice from the "Mobile Vista 1.3" folder
Bugs
* If you use a version with the US Voice Command, and button 6 is unassigned, or missing completely, please install the VC (US) Button Fix cab below.
* If you're installing a ROM that doesn't include Coreplayer and the Camera won't launch. Please install the Camera fix cab below to sort this out.
* If you install a ROM and you're missing some options from the phone menu, please install the Video Calling Options fix cab below
* If you install a ROM and you're missing the MMS options from the Messaging menu, please install the MMS Options fix cab below.
Next time I re-cook and re-upload the ROMs, I will bake these fixes into those that need them. Sorry for the inconvenience.
* Sometimes, after the Connection Setup wizard resets the phone, BatteryStatus disappears. To get it back, go into the Start > Settings > Today > Items > select BatteryStatus and click Options. OK back out and BatteryStatus will be back and working properly.
* TodayAgenda crashes if you access the Options through Start > Settings > Today > Items > Options. Instead, please tap and hold on TodayAgenda itself and select Options to get in.
FAQ
Q: Does this ROM include a Cube?
A: No, the cube doesn't play well with Transcriber - and I use Transcriber more, hence that's included but a Cube isn't. If you want to install a Cube, there are lots available for download and installing.
Q: Does this ROM include HTC Home (also known as "The Weather and launcher thing on the Home screen")?
A: No, it takes up more space on my Today screen than I'm willing to give up, but is available as a cab around the place for you install.
Q: Are you going to release a "light" version?
A: There are already lots of great light ROMs available - they'd be better than anything I could produce.
Q: How much free memory does it have?
A: Depending on which version you go for - free Storage Memory will be between 118.49Mb to 103.67Mb, and free Program Memory will be between 71.73Mb and 68.85Mb on boot up.
Q: Are the games available separately?
A: Yes, have a look on my 4shared site http://confusedstu.4shared.com and look under "Games"
Q: Are the announcements (for alarm, etc) available separately
A: I made them at http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php - just head over there, put in the text you want, select your voice (I used Audrey UK) and click Play/Download to get your .wav announcement. It even works on the phone for changing when out and about.
Q: Why is the ROM now [UNSUPPORTED]?
A: To be honest, I thought everyone had stopped using this long ago and moved onto the newer ROMs out there, but the occasional question shows me some die-hards are still using it (thanks guys. ). Since making this ROM, I've now moved onto a Touch Pro and sold my Kaiser to finance it. Some Chefs are good enough to be able to support and make ROMs without having a phone to test them on - that's not me! Without a Kaiser to try things out on, I simply cannot answer most questions or problems. Feel free to continue to post up any questions you have and I'll answer it if I know it, or another user might help, but largely what you see is what you get I'm afraid.
Changes on 13th April
* All ROMs updated to UC v2 (finally remembered to do that!)
* Updated ROMs to remove the first 2 bugs listed in post 2, so no need to install the US VC or Camera fix cabs
* Finally got Video Calling working (thank you Ghostie, Laurentius and Dutty!) so can now offer versions with Nadavi's 3G dialer in
Uploading all 20 ROMs took just over 24 hours - I think my ISP must love me!!
WooHoo!, first time ever, ever being first.

Sure, have a look at my 4shared site and look under "Games" for the cab files to be installed on any phone. (I originally got the "Another World" game from the FTP site here a couple of years ago, can't remember which phone's ExtROM it had been extracted from!).
Can you give some guidance on what is what on your download site? It's really a bit confusing, I just want the nice cooked ROM you mentioned...
You may want to compile a list of what's in which file on your site.....

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

To flash be sure To Read your Stickies 1. CID unlock your device
Touch Surface 6.1
What No Programs Menu?????
How to use The Interface and Menu
Swipe From Bottom screen to center to start taskmanager.
On any Menu sliding from right to Left Get's you to main Programs Menu.
Slide right to left to browse through the 5 main menu's
Menu 5 is empty to configure as you like.
Slide from Quarter of botton screen to top to browse through to next page if a menu has more entries.
Slide from top to bottom to exit Menu.
You'll be used to it in no time and wondering why you were fumbling with your touch all the time.
To change Menu's Slide Bottom Up, Slide Right to Left, Press Accessories, Press Extra Menu's , Press Setup Menu's
Use any skin you like and try the different Menu animation, i'm not using cube because it is slower.

This thread is set up to capture some interesting FAQ's and to see progress on Localized version.
Yes Smartdialing works.
Yes the Power Off Warning Works
Yes Wifi Works
Yes SMS and MMS are seperated.
Yes it has a seperate script to configure Long_Presses. (Andvanced Config doesn't pick up on that tweak)
No the phone does not freeze when you press the power Button once, yaddah Ya.
Oh and i haven't tested it but Keyboard should not have space bar issue.
As now the Further Skinning Goes into Development, i though i might as well show of Mort Menu with a few different skins.

Enough for now as it's unskinned, but i would say it works pretty well with different themes.

And people remember Doctor Mort made these Menu's a few years ago, before the whole Touch Feely Thningie
And there's Skins for the Buttons to

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

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

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

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

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

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

Noonski Edit: Put Similar Question and A into Future FAQ
Yeah i removed the cube animations from the Menu, but it seams you read up a bit and found the way to change this.
(Cube animation sometimes takes a few seconds to start because it has to to more calculations)
Also one of the reasons i chose to start Taskmanager is because it confronts a user with the fact that Stuff is already running before you start more apps. The only thing that BTstatus X button is good for now is to controll the Long Tapp of X button to close
Don't mind the memory i had all the apps open.
Hey ayyu3m, how's it looking when you set it to use you Che Backdrop?
flashed it.. looks great only when I push start, programs all is empty....start, settings is OK.... how come

My post has grammatical errors.lol.
You did nothing wrong. The thing is that the rom you flashed does not have the Splash Scree(boot up screen),that is why it displays the old splash screen. Nothing to worry,you can have any splash screen.
oh, excellent, thank you!
that explains it! ... I tried several times thnking i screwed up.
this is such a great ROM. i feel like I finally have a phone that just WORKS right out the gate. i may not even install ifonz now.
but for sure i will install icontact, i already installed pcm keyboard, which i find essential for finger usage.
thank you.
cool man thnx
quicksite said:
Most of you know that PDAVIET, longtime member of XDA, withdrew postings of his newer ROMS here because, as stated on this final thread, posted by Sid_dominic56 :
Many Wing users here DO appreciate PDAViet's excellent ROMS; as can be seen in this December 28, 2008 XDA discussion: PDAVIET-ROM BUILD 20764.1.4.3.PV or Open Touch 7.7 . And since Sid dominic points us to the current versions, and all of these ROM discussions at XDA are outdated, it seems useful to have a thread to share installation & implementation issues of these Herald/Wing ROMS.
For those interested, the latest ROM is available from PDAViet.net here; and following those links, you will come to its download location.
My Question: The last ROM I had on my WING was ttrans Open Touch 6.5 .. but I flashed to this new TouchFLO 2D tonight. It works beautifully, but I am not sure what I did wrong in the installation process. When I soft-reset, the first splash-page I get is from the older ttrans ROM, but then it proceeds to load up TouchFLO 2D WM6.1 V6.1.405.15 just fine. What does this indicate? And do I need to start over again?
P.S. -- I shot video of this entire installation process from previous ROM, to downloading new one, to installing -- as a helpful guide to new users. As soon as I edit it, i will post to YouTube and link here.

Yeah I had the same problem. Fortunately I'd already read your comment so I wasn't alarmed when it happened. So far so good. Seems to move a lil more faster than the last.
Oh yeah....
I did notice that the "voice recorder" app won't open up. I really need that cause I make music and also write and sometimes when I get an idea and don't have something to write with I just say or hum it in the voice recorder, so it would be REALLY nice if there was a fix for that. Thanks.

Re: Hi, I have question re PDAViet TF2D Rom; I see you run it
I think this should be okay to share since XDA is about leveraging knowledge. I asked an active user of PDAViet's TouchFLO 2D if he thought it would be a good choice for me for my desire to run ifonz app launcher. His reply indicates no... since it is not a lite rom.

Re: Hi, I have question re PDAViet TF2D Rom; I see you run it
The PDA-Viet rom I was using was the second version from the thread opened by sid_domonic56. The thread is now closed, but you should still be able to get the rom and I also believe someone else opened a thread with one that was more updated, but I could be wrong. I would not recommend the Pda-Viet rom if you are using the ifonez theme. It is not a lite rom, even though the memory specs are pretty nice. I am unsure if you could load two good sized today programs on the phone, unless you can run ifonez from your sd card. I've never used it so I am not sure how that program works. My recommendation would be to stay with 6.5 lite, as I believe 7.7 has too many bugs and memory drain issues. Otherwise, I would look into Ivan's just 2 clean rom as it about as stripped down as you can get and should run pretty fast. Hope this helps.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, has Ivan's just2clean been updated lately, to move to newer builds of the OS?
Also, though I understand ttrans' OT v 7.7 is still buggy, i have heard you and others rec his v 7.4... which I believe is a lite rom. So, is 7.4 a lighter or higher performing rom than OT 6.5?

I'm guessing that's "PDAViet"'s child. But when I was exploring his site the other day to find this ROM, I realized that this particular ROM seems to be from a different developer who also "cooks" at PDAviet.net.
The Rom that many XDAers have downloaded previously from XDA's "PDAVIET", is, I believe, from the author named: PhamQuang HERALD WM6.1 ROM V24 - Build 19214.1.0.4
But the ROM that I have linked to here is posted by user named Microlab071966 ROM HERALD_WWE_6.1.405.15_BUILD 21109-5.0.0.PV(Manila2D)
The only person who can answer this question is ... XDA's "sid_dominic56".
Deconstructing: I have some questions about "what is what" on this ROM
retepger said:
This is a great ROM.
I flashed it yesterday and I really like it. Fast, stable and very intuitive.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My initial intention is trying this ROM was because I wanted a faster, newer ROM as my basic Windows OS, that I would then install on top of that, ifonz interface.
I did not know, until I installed the ROM, that it comes with a very nice finger-browseable User Interface and application launcher. I would like for someone to deconstruct the components of this ROM so I can finally understand which pieces come from WindowsOS, which pieces come from HTC, and which aspects are coded or optimized by "chef".
Most users here know all of this already, as basic knowledge. I don't.
1. What is "manila"? Is manila the user-interface style of the finger-friendly icons that navigate programs, contacts, messages, internet, settings, etc? If not, what is it exactly? And can it be added, with separate cab, to other ROMS, replacing another ROM's look & feel?
2. What is TouchFLO 2D ? Is this the software that enables users to scroll with fingers up & down, and right and left? If so, was this developed by HTC, or has any version of Windows Mobile ever come with that capability? Similarly, can TouchFLO 2D be added to another ROM as a separate installation (if it is not cooked into the existing ROM)?
3. What is TouchFLO 3d? Is that related to the HTC "cube" interface? can someone give me a link to a screenshot or video example? AND: Is this correct? That 2D would be less processor-demanding than 3D, or is that unrelated?
4. The application & utility components that are listed as being cooked inot this ROM have the prefix name "Opal" ... What does this mean? Is this the name of an HTC device? Is is the name of HTC interface elements?
5. Finally, when people speak about "clean Builds", what are these, and how are they obtained? I am guessing they are latest versions of the Windows Mobile OS, but is that right, or not? It always seems like people are searching for ROMS with the newest build. That makes sense. Isn't that part of why people like this PDAVIET ROM ?
6. Finally, my reason for trying to understand these pieces or layers is because I have 2 paths I could go down: (1) Give up the whole idea of using the ifonz interface & application launcher, instead using this ROM's built-in navigation scheme (manila??), or (2) Go to a stripped down ROM, like Just2Clean, install iFonz onto it, and build, a la carte my whole customized user-experience for how I like to access various applications and settings and phone #s & pictures.
My decision is about 50% optimal usability, and 50% multi-application performance. As great as these HTC phones are, 9 times out of 10 when the phone rings, just getting the phone out of my pocket and answering without some kind of accidental touch screen or hard button action is a miracle. I'm a power user for web browsing, google maps & GPS, video & images, youtube, etc, so I have no problem using THAT stuff, but it's always the basic PHONE issues that are problematic.
I would love even partial answers here, number by number, so I can properly evaluate whether this ROM is right for me. As I said, it was sluggish multitasking with browser open, contacts open, total commander open, and notes open, and mp3 player running -- but thats what i need "always on". So maybe I need a ROM with less stuff built in, so I can use my preferred apps. For example, I don't ever want to even LOOK at WMP. Audio Manager was my preferred MP3player, until Nitrogen came out. And, for example, this ROM has WMP and Audio Manager cooked in.
I am currently using Open Touch 6.5, and am thinking of switching to PDAviet's rom. I am anxiously awaiting your video, as I don't want to mess up the flash.
As soon as you put it up, I'll flash it. Thanks quicksite.
