XDA Mobile 6 Release 4
Let's give thanks on Thanksgiving; Its a new XM6!
You can now cook your own version of this rom! Click Here!
XDA Mobile 6 Release 4 (XM6r4 for short) is the fourth version of the popular XM6 rom series for the Wizard. The base rom is the same, but with new features and fixes to a few bugs found in XM6r3.
XM6r4 is built on the OS 5.2.318 Build 15342.4.0.01 rom that was provided to us by InGeNeTiCs from Howard Forums. While this is not the "newest" release of WM6, it is the last known release that was built for the Wizard (ie: its not a port from another HTC Device). Various pieces of the base rom have been upgraded, so some of it is stuff ported from other phones so that it can have newer functionality. Overall, I feel this base is very stable and fast and makes a great base to cook on.
Please Note: this ROM was NOT intended to push the limits on speed optimization or memory optimization. It was made to be functional, stable, and something that I myself wanted and will use. I've found it to very quick and responsive (especially with Overclocking with BatteryStatus), and so far Battery life has been very good for me and those beta testing this. If you have a Battery Drain issue, make sure you flashed back to an official rom before you upgraded to this one, as that should correct extended rom corruption that has been shown to cause battery draining. BatteryStatus is NOT included in this ROM. If you want to overclock or use other features of BatteryStatus, you are welcome to download and install the latest version of BatteryStatus yourself. I personally use it, and have OMAP set to 247MHz with CPUscalar set from 143 to 247 and Boost set to 260Mhz.
Base ROM Information
The base rom was an "Official" Wizard WM6 ROM that was part of the development cycle of WM6 inside of Microsoft (Dogfood as they call it). The base rom was not a port of another device rom with drivers and stuff pieced and parted onto this one, but this was an actual Wizard WM6.
Windows Mobile 6, OS 5.2.318 Build 15342.4.0.01
ROM Version: 10.1.0.811 WWE
ROM Date: 08/11/06
Protocol: 4.1.13.09
There is no Radio, IPL, SPL or Extended ROM included in this (so its G4 "safe").

Mods made from XM6r3
In addition to the apps listed above, the following fixes and mods were made to improve the user experience on XM6r4
Changing ringtone now stays changed when you leave the Phone app
Using press and hold on CommManager button toggles vibrate on and off, and phone does NOT stay stuck in vibrate / no ring mode
Regional Settings default to English (United States) and use a slash for the date seperator (M/dd/yyyy)
Menu sounds work by default
Pressing the "End Call" button does not disconnect GPRS but minimized the active application. Pressing and holding the "End Call" button for about 5 seconds will do a GPRS Disconnect
Internet access over ActiveSync (USB) connection works (You must apply a registry fix on your PC first. See the next post for the fix)
D pad now works differently with PIE. Up and down presses on the D Pad stay the same, but pressing right jumps forward a page and pressing left jumps backwards a page. Makes going through websites easier (IMO).
Fixed the A2DP registry for sampling
Registry Entries for PIE Connections to speed page loading
Registry Entries to increase In Call Volume
Press Button 1 for messaging (like normal) or hold it a little longer and HTC Action will come up (via HButton)
WkTask setup to not show Phone and Activesync as running apps in task bar
QuickMenu enabled for nice drop down and cascading start menu
Touch Scroll only is active so use your finger to scroll in most places
Requirements
You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other).
You MUST be running ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP (Vista comes with the correct sync utility, although there have been issues reported about Vista and sync'ing with PPC's so be aware of that).
Before you attempt to upgrade to this ROM, Please follow this thread to learn how to flash roms, CID unlock your phone, and how to fix issues you may run into! It is also recommended that you flash your phone with a Windows XP computer and not Vista. It will work with Vista, but if you run into problems Vista can't talk to a phone in Bootloader mode!
Recomendations
I HIGHLY Recommend that you flash back to an official rom before upgrading to this (or any) custom rom so you have a clean base (and correct any Extended ROM corruption you might have). G4 users would flash back to their provider's latest official release or the Wizard Love ROM. G3 users can use T-Mobile 2.26 for a good base.
If you use BatteryStatus (its NOT included in the rom!) to overclock, I don't recommend overclocking above 260Mhz, and the CPUscaler settings in BatteryStatus should not be set to a min lower than 143MHz (or your device may not wake back up after going to sleep).
Newer Radio ROMs on WM6 have had issues in the past (especially for Cingular / AT&T users). T-Mobile 2.19 (UK or NL versions) seems to be the most stable, but you can now run newer radios with the attached cab. This cab also works for some other providers but not for all, so its up to you to test what works for your phone.

I've moved the credits to the 5th post of this thread as this post has become too big.
Known Issues
When entering a contact in the "To:" field it does not link to the outlook contacts, it instead shows suggested words. You can tap the word "to" and it will go to the contact list no problem. Also, when trying to select a file to send no file names or pictures are displayed just empty square boxes, you can tap the box and it will go to the next sub folder, if it is a folder. There are no thumbnails or files listed so it is impossible to navigate to select a picture or video. Click Here to download patch
After the initial flash, some have reported that QuickMenu pops open the start menu when you are supposed to tap the screen to start the phone setup. Just wait a second or two and it will close by itself.
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.

XM6r4 Addons and Information
Radio ROMs
Here are links to a few of the Radio ROMs that I've used with XM6r4. Remember that Radio's newer than the 2.19 radio may require the WM6 Fix CAB that is attached to the first post of this thread.
T-Mobile 2.19.11 UK
Cingular 2.25.11
2.61.11
2.69.11
Voice Command
MS Voice Command 1.6 US HERE and HERE and HERE

MS Voice Command 1.5 UK HERE and HERE
How to not have a 24hour Clock (or how to show AM/PM)
This works on all WM6 roms
Go to Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings
Make sure you have the correct Region selected
Click on the Time tab
Click on the drop down box for Time Style
Notice the little up and down arrows? This is a scrolling region in this dropdown. Click the up arrow a couple of times and you'll find h:mm:ss tt
Thats it. Microsoft is amazing at having a 2 line scrolling region on this dropdown. You'd think they would have had at least 3 or 4 lines show up for chosing (and it would be more obvious that its a scrolling region then too).
GPRS / MMS Setups
First, here is The Ultimate Thread with people posting operator settings for about all providers! In the first post is a link to the thread where walshieau is creating an automated way of setting up all of these!
What follows is a list of automated and manual ways of setting up GPRS and MMS for various cell providers and regions that I've collected:

For T-Mobile US users, here's a link to a thread by Lurch with 3 cabs for the various plans. Famewolf tested the 3rd one and it worked for him.
For T-Mobile US users, here's a link to a post by FZZF that has info for your setup of GPRS and MMS by hand
Here's another link with cab files for T-Mobile US users:

Connecting XM6r4 to the Internet via ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP
For those having issues connecting to the internet via Active Sync, cut and paste this code onto your PC in a file called net_over_activesync.reg and run it (on your PC not your phone)
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
Splash Screens and Splash Only RUU for G4
For G4 users, Click Here for the RUU with the Splash Screens of this rom (since you don't get them when you use the shell tool). As I understand it, this is completely safe for a G4 as its nothing but splash screens (no OS, IPL, SPL, Extended ROM, etc, just splash and htc logo screens). I've also placed the .bmp files that make up the splash screen in the zip file so you can see them directly before flashing this.
If you have problems flashing the above RUU on a G4, then extract this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29158&d=1152698784 and pull the nk.nbf file out of the above Splash Screen file and put it into the directory of this one and run this RUU. You can use the same method for flashing the Radio Only ROM (pull the nk.nbf file out of the radio only rom and put it into the directory of this RUU and run it). Thanks anichillus for that link! You can also check this thread for another RUU that is in English and seems to work for most G4 users. Thanks Vippie!
Weather Panel Setup
See my post in the Wizard forum on how I setup WeatherPanel. It will give you a fixed dll with correct moon phases through 2008, new/better Moon phase icons, and a cool theme called Chameleon-240 QVGA. I dumped SBSH Pocket Weather after seeing this setup
Hermes Black Cabs that may be of Interest
Transcriber can be added back into XM6r4 by using the Black 3 Add-on CABs file. There may be others in it that may be of interest also for some. Included in this file is Cyberon VoiceCommander, Cyberon Voice Dial, VIjay555 utils, and a Slingbox patch (none of these I've tested).
Turning off Word Auto Completion
Some people do not like how Windows Mobile tries to suggest words that you may be typing. If you are one of those people, jacob-mda wrote up a post on how to turn it off. Check out This Thread.
Auto Completion for Spanish
User peu found the file to change the auto completion of words to Spanish. You can check his post here for details and a link.
Skinning the Dialpad
You can find skins for this dialpad HERE. See image attached below for an example.

Or create your own skins by reading this: http://www.sto-helit.de/freeware/pocketpc/mortplayer/en/skinhelp.html
BatteryStatus (for Overclocking, CPUScalar, and much much more)
BatteryStatus is a very popular utility around here and for good reasons. Currently its in a beta phase and the author is releasing new versions of the beta constantly so I decided not to put it in the rom and let people install whatever build of it they want. Also, some versions of BatteryStatus have been known to cause excessive battery drain, so be aware of that too. You can find it in the Official BatteryStatus thread and if you do use it, feel free to give feedback on it in that thread as they are always looking for ways to improve it.
NOTE: If you do use overclocking, I recommend you use the OMAP Apps tab to setup Camera to be at 195Mhz as it can mess up the display if you are overclocked and doing the camera.

Included Apps Info
Info on Included Apps
FingerFriendlyFriends v1.0 Beta 2
For those wondering, PocketCM was replaced in XM6r4 for two reasons. First the author of PocketCM did not want it included in roms. Two, I like the FingerFriendlyFriends app (even though I hate the name )
Check out these images of it:
I would advise you to check out and participate in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340227&highlight=fingerfriendlyfriends if you like FingerFriendlyFriends. The official website is http://www.jotto.no/fff/ and has info on using and making the most of FFF
For those that don't want to run FFF and want the standard Conctact manager back you can do the following:
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
Change "String 1" value from "\Windows\PocketCM.exe" to :MSPOUTLOOK contacts.
Then if you want it back, you can change it back to \Windows\FingerFriendlyFriends.exe
Since FFF is in beta, if you need / want to upgrade, just drop the FingerFriendlyFriends.exe file in \Windows
SK tsync
Included in this rom is SK tsync, which will synchronize your phone to time servers. I've included in \Windows a special link called tsync silent.lnk . You can copy this link (with TotalCommander or use WinXplore) to your \Windows\Startup folder and it will allow your phone to sync its time after a reboot. Famewolf also wrote a Mortscript for easy install (since Mortscript is part of this rom). Click Here to download this script, then just place it on your phone and run it, and it will copy this shortcut to your Startup folder for you.
MobileJustice v0.8
MobileJustice is an Anti-theft app that you can configure on your phone. Just go to Start > Programs > Accessories and click on the MJConfig icon (first time in you will get a message that there isn't a config file, just click ok and it will be created). To us this, check the Enabled box, then click Add on the Allowed line. You can then setup your SIM card as an authorized one, and add other SIM cards IMSI numbers if you use more than one. Next click on Add next to Report to: and setup an SMS number (wife, friend, colleague) where you want the text message to go to if an unauthorized SIM is put into your phone. You can add multiple SMS numbers if you want. At this point, your phone will now be setup so that if an unauthorized sim is put in it, then it will send an SMS (with no record of it being sent) to your Report To list on the next boot (you can test this by not setting up (or removing) the Allowed and then doing a soft reset).
For more advanced, you can turn on the Disp MsgBox at the top and then put in some text in the MsgBox text line. This will pop up a Message box on the screen of the phone after a boot, if an unknown sim is in the phone.
You can also enable RMon (bottom half of the screen), put in a pass phrase, and then turn on MsgBox (GPS and LocCall do not work on Wizards, and the other options haven't been implemented in this version). By doing this, you can now send an SMS to your phone in the following format:
+m passphrase message
Rmon will intercept the sms message (so it will not show up as a received message), and if the passphrase matches the one you put in the configuration, then it will pop up a message box on the phone with your message in it (so you can secretly send messages to the thief to possibly intimediate them (or whatever).
The project page for MobileJustice is located at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice/

Faria for providing the initial ROM Kitchen that got me cooking
anichillus for the fantastic Hyper Core ROM Kitchen which was exclusively used in the production of this ROM
Dr Puttingham for the guides, information he has provided to all of us
Molski for having a nice tutorial on various cooking tools and providing easy access to info at http://www.molski.biz
mattk_r and theloon for inspiration and pushing the envelope and for the fantastic set of OEM packages
Famewolf for constantly pointing me to new apps, new versions, and posts about features like BlueTooth DUN to add into the rom.
Those that took the time to help alpha and beta test XM6 Release 4 (Rudi, Peter, and Ben). We worked out a number of issues with a nice quick beta test (XM6r3 beta worked out most of the real bugs so this one was "easy" )!
Everyone that installed and gave feedback and support on the other XDA Mobile 6 threads
Everyone that I thanked in my other ROM releases!
I thought there were going to be door prizes...didn't we agree on door prizes? No mouse pad?
Great job once again mfrazzz on the rom!
^..^
congratulations..
This really is an excellent release Thank you, Mike, and happy Thanksgiving..
One remark though, for everyone who may see the QuickMenu popping up at the first boot after the flashing: You don't need to click anywhere to make QM disappear, it will hide itself after a few seconds and you can continue to the initial configuration of the Wizard.
Release 3 is one of the best roms, i was waiting for next version.
Thanks for this one, will flash it today.

If your apps require registry entries more than likely you will have to reinstall them..they may or may not keep your settings depending on whether the settings were kept in the file or in the registry. (usually the registry)...any documents or files stored on the card should be fine however.
Here is a mortscript which may be of use to people reinstalling...it's called Reload..I am not the original author..I just made a few changes.....these instructions are taken from the Readme.txt inside:
How to setup:
1)Extract Reload.zip to the root of your storage card.
2)Place cab files in the CabsAuto folder if you want to the cab to be automatically installed to the phone storage.
3)Place cab files in the CabsManual folder if you want to be able to choose where to install the cab.
4)Place file in the Backup.zip file that you want to be restored to root of phone.
ie. If you wanted example.jpg to be placed in the \Windows folder, place example.jpg in the Windows folder of the zip file.
5)Place file in the SDBackup.zip file that you want to be restored to Storage Card.
*Please note that the cabs files placed in the CabsAuto folder need to conform to only asking the user for the installation destination, then showing installation successful/unsuccessful. Otherwise you might encounter some problems. You should place cabs that don't conform in the CabsManual folder, or adjust these cabs with programs such as WinCE CAB Manager.
###############################################
How to use:
2)Execute Reload.mscr. This will initiate the script that will first install the CabsAuto, then CabsManual, restore the files in the Backup.zip file if it exists, and finally restore the files in the SDBackup.zip file if it exists..
###############################################
Please note that files in CabsAuto are cleared out as they are installed so you may want to have a "CabsAuto.save" you copy over before a Reload.

WOW! - One Question
This looks like an amazing release. I haven't flashed my phone since TNT 4.0, but I am going to try this tomorrow night for sure. Just one question, does this have the fixes so that there are no problems with the missed call notifications when using GPRS or during another call?
Thanks a lot for your hard work again mfrazzz!

An awesome collection of apps in this release.
Gobble, Gobble!!
The radio fix?
The Radio fix (XDA Cingular WM6 Radio Fix2.cab) ... has that already been applied and, if not, what does it fix exactly?
Which could be causing my problem? My girlfriend isn't getting my texts and she has verizon. Is it the 2.19 radio rom, this rom, or the T-mobile settings I chose?
Attention, this ROM version is now deprecated, see this thread for Q-Mobile 1.2!
Well, it was bound to happen...I love all the custom ROMs out there but none of them quite suited my needs. I'm a business traveler and as such I tend to need lots of screen real estate, and a fast device, with the best software preloaded and optimizations up the wazoo.
Introducing Q-Mobile...it's all of that and more. You can see best what applications are loaded from the screen shots below. Suffice it to say, they don't even begin to do justice to the fine grained care that has been taken to configure each application for optimum use ability. I have been working on this ROM for almost a week now--my method is far deeper than simply throwing packages and RGU files together and hoping for the best. There are literally HUNDREDS of registry tweaks and care was taken with every application added--no file was left unscrutinized or tested.
Some Highlights (this is an extremely compact feature list of what I added/removed/changed):
.Net CF 3.5
SqlCe 3.5
FULL Video Access (Main YouTube as well as m.youtube)
Custom KaiserTweak for this ROM.
Arcsoft MMS 4.2.8.1
Esmertec Java 2007.08.02
Microsoft Office 2007
Microsoft One Note Mobile
HTC Equalizer 1.0.2
HTC Random Access
TCPMP 0.81
It is worth noting that this ROM is intended for the HTC TYTN II style devices (e.g. Radio 14.09 will not work).
WWE (English) ROM : MegaUpload |RapidShare
I'd like to thank everyone on all forums but especially xda-developers. Without people like you none of this would be possible. In addition it is probably obvious that I pilfered what I considered the cream of the crop applications, ideas, graphics, etc. No doubt many reading this will realize their work in here somewhere.
P.S. You may notice a seeming lack of applications--that is because I personally heavily use Spb and Resco products to complete my device. Feel free to download individual cabs to fill in any freeware you feel should be integrated.
Enjoy,

What is: Field test, Restore black bars & SQL Query Analyzer?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Field test is an application that exists on every device (unless it has been cooked out) and is extremely useful for troubleshooting network problems. Obviously you can remove the link for it if you don't like it--the exe is only 33KB so its not exactly a hog.
Restore Black Bars is a tiny app courtesy of jasjamming that restores black bars if you change your theme then decide to go back to the default.
SQL Query analyzer is an app that's included with the new SQL CE 3.5...I'm not really sure how useful it would be but again, its tiny so if you don't like it just remove the \Windows\Start Menu\System\SQL Query Analyzer.lnk file.
Does it include Touch Flo?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I originally wrote "nope, too sluggish for me". This is a misstatement given that TouchFLO is indeed included (as evidenced by the screen shots. TouchFLO is the application that allows finger scrolling in many apps (ala iPhone). What I was referring to was FTouchFLO/Touch Cube (the app that allows gestures to bring up special screens (other facets of the 3D view, etc). That is not included.
Keep in mind that you can tweak or turn off TouchFLO through the KaiserTweak app under Programs\System. I myself turn it off because Spb Pocket Plus offers better support and functionality in this regard.

Thxx for the explaining.
How did you get the Equalizer to work?
Too bad it does not have Touch Flo. Or else I would install this rom.
which radio?
It's late, getting sleepy......I'd like to experiment tomorrow.
What radio would you suggest using for an ATT Tilt phone?
How's the battery performance?
Any possibility of summarizing more details of the work that you've put into this ROM?
Thanks.
Downloading now!
The benchmark result looks great! I also think TouchFlo is too sluggish, it is only for people who want to have a nice look but not the speed or stability.
Thanks for sharing us!

It does not matter when you have a TITL or TyTN II. At the moment you are using Dutty's Hybrid NO.7 NUSkool RTM with Radio 1.27.12.17. So you can flash this Q-Mobile rom.
But you should know that when you flash any roms what is built from AT&T rom, you need to flash radio 1.27.14.09!!!
This thing have Connection Setup/Network Wizard? Thoughts on reliability and speed versus Dutty, anyone?
Whats the Wireless modem thingy in the connections menu ?
congrats
It looks Great, Nice to see your cooking mate, well done

You can turn your device in a Wireless router.
There's no connection/network wizard, which is a bit of a shame. It's not a show stopper for me (always keep a T-Mobile cab handy on my storage card), but it could limit the adoption for this ROM.
I've just flashed and configured Activesync, here's my thoughts so far:
Appearance: Nice. It's got the cool black look, and it's even got a nice new image for WinMobile's equivalent to the hour glass - the spinning pie chart - which is more in keeping with the black feel. There's a single theme installed (good), and the splash screen is quite nice too.
Speed: Pretty good. I'd put it slightly ahead of Dutty, but perhaps slightly slower than Custel with Mobile Crack. Screen rotate is a little slow, but app switching is speedy (instantly back into messaging, or contacts).
Apps and config: There's no keyboard sliding sound icon, which might be a problem for some. I always turn it off anyway, and that's the default here. There aren't really many surprises in terms of app choices.
All in all I'm very impressed with it. I'm going to give it a few days to see if it does anything to upset me
hmm,going to def give this a try for a bit..

Any possibility of summarizing more details of the work that you've put into this ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sure, I was tired last night and didn't really feel like elaborating. Here goes...
All help files updated/removed to reflect current ROM state.
Default directory layout and file locations updated to be more intuitive.
Programs organized into folders reflecting their purpose.
Removed tons of unused files and settings.
Default button for Comm Manager is now single click on the record button (I miss that they removed the button the Hermes had for this).
Voice Speed Dial removed.
Default network settings removed (this never worked for me since I have an internet plan with T-Mobile and it always tried to set up the wrong one).
.Net CF 3.5 and SqlCe 3.5 are custom to my ROM (I had heard there were problems with the packages built by others so I built my own from scratch).
A *LOT* of work was done ensuring maximum media compatibility...as mentioned before streaming (mms, rtsp) protocols work, but the full version of pages like Google videos, YouTube, etc also should work.
As mentioned already there is no TouchFlo Cube, HTC Home, etc.
SQM (MS spyware) has been removed.
ClearStorage was removed (this can be accomplished via the soft buttons+reset anyway).
Sliding keyboard sounds removed (this was annoying anyway).
Lots of useless default images and templates removed.
Games removed (there are cabs for them anyway, and I personally never used them).
Windows Media player has a skin in theme with the rest of the device.
The default calculator has been removed (there are much better ones available out there--check out HP48 emu or 1-Calc).
IA Zip removed (there is the Office Mobile zip viewer, or better zip apps out there...Spb, Resco, etc).
Windows Live removed.
HTC Audio plugin added for use with WMP (works when device turned off as well).
All ringtones except one removed (feel free to set your own--this is how it should be anyway).
BT FTP removed (this is the Bluetooth FTP server/explorer which imho is quite useless).
Again I'll mention TONS of registry tweaks to make the default behavior of the device more intuitive.
Page file size set to 12MB by default.
While I'm sure this list is by no means complete it will hopefully give you a better idea of what's in/not in it. Cheers,
Great job on the rom. Work perfect for me even after i loaded all my apps.
Tilt User
So how is the stability and speed of this? GPS / Internet sharing works fine? Thats what I use most of.
hello, Could you please tell me how to add or post a PTT rom I tried all the hacks i could find to make it work and it will not thanks. wc3sam

Two very important things for me as well, from my perspective it meets both of these criteria. FYI I forgot to mention there's an app called Visual GPS available under Programs\System that is preconfigured to work on the Kaiser...if you haven't heard of/used it before it will help acquire sats faster.
What you do is:
1) Make sure QuickGPS has current data (by default I've configured it to automatically get this so it should).
2) Run Visual GPS to acquire satellite lock.
3) Launch Google Maps or TomTom.
The reasoning is that Visual GPS can acquire a satellite lock faster than either of these applications, but even a cold acquisition (no QuickGPS/VisualGPS) is sub 30 seconds for me so maybe it doesn't matter.
Cheers
Congratulations, mate... great work here
Attention, this ROM version is now deprecated, see this thread for Q-Mobile 1.2!
5.2.1948 Build 18548.0.7.0
And...without further ado. This should be the final revision of this ROM for a while. All bugs from 1.0 fixed with a couple more tweaks, etc. If you think you're missing something read these posts in full and you'll probably find it.
For AT&T Tilt users...I have had a few guinea pig volunteers I will be tapping later this week in an attempt to make a port for your network. Keep in mind this will be specifically for those users wanting to use radio 14.09 with an AT&T data service plan. If you have a tilt but are not an AT&T customer you should probably just use this ROM. See this thread for information on radios.
Tweaks/etc.
Don't forget to check out the Q-Mobile 1.1 Downloads section in the next post...I'm always updating it with pertinent information as people request features and/or find tweaks, bug fixes for certain configurations, etc.
Upgrade Directions
Install HardSPLv1 if you haven't already!
Flash this ROM.
After first boot, perform a HARD RESET. This is accomplished by holding both soft keys while pushing the reset. You will see a white screen asking you to press the send key to wipe your device; do this.
Why? Because it really *can* help make the ROM run like it should. I confirmed this with Spb Benchmark.
Does it make other ROMs run better too? Yes.
ChangeLog for 1.11
Sounds & Notifications are fixed!
- Sorry about this...there were some permissions issues which prevented them from being selectable. Already upgraded to 1.1 and installed files? No problem! Read this post to see alternative options or why it won't hurt to do a full backup and then restore after upgrading to 1.11 (from 1.1 only).
ChangeLog for 1.1
Email attachments fixed!
- Q-Mobile 1.0 had a bug where attachments in email wouldn't open until you saved them. This is now fixed!
.Net CF 3.5 Fixed!
- Added Net CF Config under Programs\System in case you have to run multiple versions. Almost all apps should work with 3.5 now, but if they don't you can install 2.0 SP2 from below and use this app to decide which runtime your app should use. Remember that 3.5 is a LOT faster so use it where possible!
SQL Server Compact 3.5 is fixed.
- Since only the server core has changed to 3.5 there should be no application incompatibility--but if you need an earlier version they should be able to work in tandem. No configurator is necessary as with .Net 3.5 above.
MS Office 2007 Uprage for File Formats
- Now you can open even more (unconverted) file types! (Think email attachments).
More GDI/Font Cache options in Kaiser Tweak! If you have a lot of graphics on your today screen you can now set the cache even larger than before!
- If you are having an issue with icons loading slowly you can also turn off the File System and/or File System Filter caches--this may help or it may not, experiment to see what works for your setup!
Equalizer 1.02 was removed.
- As pointed out it appears to work but doesn't really. If you think it was working for you check Dutty's cabs below and install it again!
More cleanup with regard to deprecated files.
- This includes the customer feedback application, more registry settings dealing with SQM, etc.
HTC Recorder tweak. (Directory default is now My Audio instead of My Voices).
Camera shutter sound is now off by default.
- This is an option available within the camera settings menu so feel free to turn it back on. I find the camera takes faster pictures with it off, not to mention it was annoying
Kaiser Tweak now has options for more storage card power management settings.
- The internal SD card is now linked to the next option (Pocket IE cache).
Kaiser Tweak has a new option for the Pocket IE cache location which can be changed to be on your storage card.
- Be aware that if you enable this, the power management for the internal SD card *must* be disabled (and it should do this automatically) because Pocket IE will hang the entire machine if it isn't.
Compact List of Features
TouchFLO (finger scrolling) *is* included. FTouchFLO/Cube is not.
.Net CF 3.5
Sql Server Compact 3.5
FULL Video Access (Full YouTube as well as the normal m.youtube.com)
Custom KaiserTweak for this ROM.
Arcsoft MMS 4.2.8.1
Esmertec Java 2007.08.02 (Opera Mini & Google App verified to work)
Microsoft Office 2007 (Updated with Nov 28th Extensions)

I love your rom, but please leave the clear storage function in your next if it will be any next version It can´t take that much of resources to leave it because my Tytn II is really hard to make a hard reset, sometimes I have to press the f*cking button combination 30 times untill it makes as it should and it is so frustrating - I sometimes feel the urge to throw the bugger into the wall
Othervise I loved 1.0 so this could only be better
Is there a way to uninstall office and the coreplayer ???
I'm french and I prefere install a french office pearhaps without last update ...
I'm working for few days with the first version and I really think it's the best one... i'am glade to see this new version !!!
Go on man !!!!
Haven't tried your v1.0 but I think this is a good chance to test this your latest version! Looks very impressive based on compact feature set and the screenshots! Thanks.

Ok thanx ! I shall look in SK Tools, never thought of it
I've some .reg file to install but on this rom itsays me that : "there is no application associated with "my file.reg". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application"...
Why can't it write on my BDR ???
I haven't installed the ROM yet but you'd need a regeditor to be installed before you can run/associate .reg files... PHM reg editor and Schap's reg editor are some good free ones...Schap's Advanced Config utility is then a good tool to use to associate your reg editor to the file.
Dear Quentin,
Could you specify if the bug "when one turns on vibrate only, and the vibration never stops with incoming calls?" is solved also with this ROM? Thanks a lot!

Won't Cook!
Apparently when I tried cooking using this rom, then flash it, I'm stucked at the "smart mobilty" screen. I'm using KitchenROM 0.3, and I added the HTC Task Manger and Network Wizard. Any ideas?
I found one bug that is bugging me Can´t change the sounds for incoming sms and mail. The list with sounds is just emtpy even though the wav and wma files are in the windows directory. Only me getting this?

Very good ROM
I have to admit that after flashing all ROMs in this forum this is the most responsive one. It has exactly what I need.
The only thing I noticed that is not working properly is the shortcut on HTC Home for the backlight.
Is it possible to fix it?

Updates
Mar 24, 2008 - All ROMs: Updated to 5.2.1629 (Build 18136.0.4.8), upgraded Smartdialing, removed registry hack for menu sounds. On AT&T 8125 ROM only: replaced Westtek ClearVue PDF with AdobeLE PDF Reader 2.0, Intent Tao Java with Esmertec Jeodek, and HTC PhonePad with HTC Touch keypad.
Jan 28, 2008 - Added vanilla ROM in kitchen form (see below).
Dec 20, 2007 - Original T-Mobile and AT&T releases.
Here is a ROM so boring, it looks like a run-of-the-mill carrier-branded OEM ROM with all the same apps and equally as bloated! This was my first effort at ROM cooking, so please don't judge too harshly!
I currently have 2 boring versions for USA devices, one for the AT&T 8125 and one for the T-Mobile MDA. Both are built on the latest shipping version of WM6 I could get ahold of: 5.2.1629 (Build 18136.0.4.8) from the Sprint Mogul (HTC Titan) which was released on Mar 10, 2008.
Why 5.2.1629?
This is possibly the newest real WM6 available right now. 19xx builds that are "AKU 0.7.0" are older eval ROMs. If there is a newer shipping build out there, let me know about it and I will update accordingly.
I believe PagePool is 8MB.
Your device must be SuperCID to use these ROMs.
1. For AT&T 8125
This ROM was originally based on a port from the 8525, but I've changed a few apps since companies of some of the apps are no longer in business (i.e. Intent Tao).
Apps:
ArcSoft MMS 3.5.1.24C
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial v1.2 Build ??????
HTC SmartDialing v2.5 (Build ??????)
HTC Zip v1.20 (Build 27216)
Esmertec Jeodek (replaces Intent Tao Java - no longer in business)
AdobeLE PDF Reader 2.0 (replaces Westtek Clearvue PDF)
HTC Task Manager (X-Button) v1.51 Build 30470.
HTC Camera v3.00 (Build 23027).
HTC SIM Manager v6.31.
HTC Comm Manager v1.8.1.0.
Windows Live (because 8125 had MSN Messenger)
Remote Desktop (because 8125 had Terminal Services)
HTC Touch Dual Keyboard (replaces PhonePad, it's a big improvement)
VoIP
Registry modifications:
10-buttons in Comm Manager.
SAPSettings moved to Control Panel (never tried it, but looks interesting).
KNOWN BUGS:
Wifi notification always says "Turn on Wi-Fi" even when it's already on. This is a WM6 bug that even the 8525 shipping ROM has (at least, according to threads I've read on another forum).
AddContacts.exe in ExtROM doesn't actually add any contacts for some reason.
AT&T 8125 ROM Download (OS only)
The extended ROM is not included in the above download. The ROM should work fine with the Cingular extended ROM. However, I have 2 flavors of ExtROM available. Both ExtROMs will change your splash screen to the 8525 AT&T logo and give you the AT&T theme, HTC default ringtones, and other AT&T settings.
Basic ExtROM+Splash - Rebranding from Cingular to AT&T, just basic CABs to set the theme, etc. NO TRIALWARE.
Full ExtROM+Splash - Contains all the trialware from the OEMOPERATORS of the 8525. You will get a bunch of trial software that expires in 30-days like XMRadio, MobiTV, MusicID, and other stuff.
2. For T-Mobile MDA
This ROM is virtually a direct port from the latest shipping T-Mobile Wing ROM. Basically, it is the 5.2.1622 core OS and merged it with the OEMAPPS from the Wing. The ExtROM is INCLUDED with this ROM and if allowed to customize, will install T-Zones and all that. HTC default ringtones were moved into ExtROM to make room. It seems to work okay, but there are some things I can't test like MyFaves - it doesn't even show up, but I don't subscribe to MyFaves and the Wing manual implies you need to subscribe to it for it to even show up.
Apps ported directly from Wing:
ArcSoft MMS 4.0.31.15
Esmertec Java 20070124-113964.2.1
Adobe Reader LE 2.0
Bluetooth Explorer
Symbol Pad
MyFaves 2.0
Apps upgraded/changed from Wing versions:
HTC SmartDialing v2.5 (Build 27526)
HTC Task Manager (X-Button) v1.51 Build 30470 (original was 1.5).
HTC Camera v3.00 (Build 23027) - Wing camera wouldn't work on Wizard.
HTC SIM Manager v6.31 - Original was 5.something.
HTC Zip v1.20 (Build 27216) - Original was 1.11.
Registry modifications:
Start menu sounds.
Items removed:
LockStream DRM (caused problems, had to remove it).
KNOWN BUGS:
AddContacts.exe in ExtROM doesn't actually add any contacts for some reason.
T-Mobile MDA ROM Download (OS+ExtROM only)
3. Vanilla ROM
This is a "vanilla" ROM using the 5.2.1622 core. It's nothing more than SYS, OEM, and ROM folders (it is NOT flashable as is). Just drop into the Build folder of your favorite kitchen, put your packages into the OEM folder, and cook your own custom ROM. It comes with only the camera (in the HTC folder) and CODECs (in the Default folder), although you can remove that and use your own if you wish. It does come with the necessary drivers and base control panel apps.
Vanilla SYS, OEM, and ROM folders for cooking (OS only, this is NOT a flashable .nbf file)
BUG REPORTS - Please list exact steps to reproduce any bugs that are found.
Sorry for the crappy screenshots, I don't have a good free program for that.
ALL FILES REMOVED. I'll explain later.
glad to have some fresh builds... thanks for your hard work, i'll post up any issues i find, flashing the nbf first then i'll pull it apart later. since you have both, have you found that only differences between the two are the installed apps? or have you found major differences in the default and user rgus? i'll report what i find after i pull them apart...

the current challenge for me is how to remove the dlls from the memory map so that i can remove the camera and netcf, etc... i have no idea how to do that and can't seem to find any pointers how to figure it out.
i've been trying to get the oemdrivers to extract with the missing files, but i can't seem to get it to work. ive tried builddsm in many ways, hand editing the dsm several times, and merging with the format of the tmo version. i dont understand what all the gibberish is before the file listing... it will build just fine, but i get a viewimgfs error on extraction. i have one more thing to try, but if anyone knows more about the dsm structure, i'd love to know how the system dsms are laid out...
_____________________________________________________________
Here is the aio radio, ipl/spl, and splash screens that i use after every flash after tmo 2.26, just makes it a little easier...

IPL_SPL_3.08
T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly
WM6_Splash_Wizard_NOID
Blank Extention Rom
______________________________________________________________
in case anyone would like to try it out, here is radio 2.71
i used it for a about a week and i like it better than 2.69. the performance is probably similar, but it seemed to be a little quicker for signal, little better call volume, and a little less battery drain. i did say a little, it's probably all in my head. i don't know about any missed call issues, but i rarely get phone calls, just sms and email.
radio_2.71.rar
2.19.11 works for me with good batt life, i guess i just feel better running the proven one...
I ended up using the same default and user rgus for both the AT&T and TMO. I did go through each to see if there was any customization and there was, but it was identical to the customizations in the OEMAPPS rgu so it was unnecessary to have them also in the default.rgu. Most of the other customizations especially for the TMO ROM are in provxmls.
so far, the stinkular one seems like a very decent base. after flash i had i bit more that 29mb free, which for a 6mb page pool is very good for a stockish rom. also seemed very responsive and fast when using file manager. the glyphcache is 8192 and auto and 0 for the file system caches. i did try to pull it apart, but imgfs craps out, much like tnt 1933 official. so ill see if i can get the thing to extract and then mess around with it.
the tmo one is, well tmo with ext rom running, 27.5 free and without 27.58 . whee! i hate tmo.... anyways, looks to be a good base after stripping it and it doesnt have problems being dumped. maybe i will see what can be done with comparing the two, and paring down the wing version... the att version at least has still has sqm, so i have to take that out...
looks good gnat, very good for your first port!
Your awesome dude. This is great. I will flash tonight and see how everything goes. Thanks

ok, i lied... didn't check... tmo one has 8mb pool, so change to 4 (the best) and 32.5 mb free!!! time to start stripping
Sorry about that, for some reason I was sure they had a 6MB page pool, but it was a long time ago that I checked and I guess my memory isn't what it used to be! Both ROMs should have the same page pool so 8MB for both.

Why does the data connection to edge/gprs connect when I want to send/receive email through wifi?
I tried going into the command manager but there is no settings for data connection.
Is there some kind of setting to stop edge/gprs from connecting

Is that not typical? For some reason I thought the original WM5 did that too, but I can check on that later.
I did have a program to stop the GPRS connection over WiFi, I think it was Modaco NoData. You can get it here:

Glad to hear the MyFaves works! That's something I couldn't test myself.
Sorry to hear about the difficulties some people are having pulling the ROM apart. I'm not sure why there are problems, I can try to fix it when I get back to work. I might be as simple as I need to rebuild some dsms. Better yet, if there's demand for a vanilla ROM, I can make one of those too. I just need to know what most people want and don't want in a vanilla ROM. Probably best to leave the vanilla ROM in kitchen form too?
I'm on vacation from work where all my files are so the soonest I can get to it is in 2-weeks (Jan 7).

Is that not typical? For some reason I thought the original WM5 did that too, but I can check on that later.
I did have a program to stop the GPRS connection over WiFi, I think it was Modaco NoData. You can get it here:

Schap's has a VoIP setup utility. I don't use VoIP so I haven't tried it. You can find it here:

Glad to hear the MyFaves works! That's something I couldn't test myself.
Sorry to hear about the difficulties some people are having pulling the ROM apart. I'm not sure why there are problems, I can try to fix it when I get back to work.

How to install a cab.
You simply download the cab to your computer. Then, copy/paste the cab to your storage card using the USB connection. Then, using your file explore on your phone locate the cab file in your storage card and install it by double taping the file.
How to search the forum.
1) Towards the top right side of web page you should see the search option, press the small arrow.
2) A small drop down window should open.
3A) You may do a broad search which normally won’t turn up any solid information by simply typing out what you’re looking for in the white box and hitting search.
3B) For a more refine search click on the "use the built in forum search" / Advance search link at the bottom of the small search box.
4) You'll want to click on the small arrow just under the Keyword box on the left hand side of the screen and click "search titles only".
5) Then on the right side of the window is the larger “search in forum(s)” box, click on either the “HTC Leo: HD2” or the “T-Mobile USA HTC HD2” heading which are highlighted in white and press Search Now.

Ali, a ROM is a package that includes the full OS and other software on your phone. The stuff that came on your phone from the factory is the "stock ROM", and there are a large number of custom ROMs available here at xda that somehow improve or otherwise tweak/change the stock ROM to personal tastes and preferences. You can replace your stock ROM with a custom one if you would like, but the process is delicate and carries the possiblity of totally disabling your phone, permanently ("Bricking" it).
Themes are much safer, and a better place for you to start...in the "themes" section for your phone.
As for ROM's, there are some stickied threads at the top of this section ("Links to CABs, ROMs....") that have full instructions on ROM flashing....make sure you read them VERY carefully if you are thinking about taking that path. Then, read them again

cemd.arm.cab = total command file explore and registry editor
lockscreen cab below is for when you install a middle or low lockscreen (like iphone), and erase it. You'll need to reinstall the original back in.
The "dragonworld" cab removes the MMS limit of 300k (custom roms limit) and set it as 5 MB.
The "docHD2" cab allows you receive full size MMS pictures not the small ones. (doesn't work for everyone but a worth a try)

In resco go to options -> general ->browser tab at the bottom and uncheck the "hide..." boxes. Now you'll be able to see registry settings and edit them I think.
REGISTRY !
"\\Plugins" is the folder the registry is in!! why doesnt anyone ever mention that !!!! it was at the top of my list but i never thought to check "plugins" for my directory ... but thats how you get to it.
If you keep this thread updated... that will certainly be of some MAJOR help to this section... because there's an increasingly disturbing number of bull**** posts everyday now...

The screen option, i had this before it made i forgot what better but i would like to re-enable this. i believe it held font rendering options and other options.

HKLM/controlpanel/pen and change the value of 'Hide' from 1 to 0.
Good idea.......BUT
This is a great idea. Problem is the T-Mobile USA site should have links leading ONLY to cabs etc that are verified for the HD2 in the USA at T-mobile. Guess what? IT DOESN'T.
Noobs be warned. Watch where the links are taking you. Don't download and install anything from an area outside of the T-Mobile USA HTC HD2 section unless it has been verified to work / not screw your device.
Good Luck

only roms and radios can brick tmous, cabs and the like will be fine. If a cab is incompatible with the tmous, it will be incompatible with all hd2's.

When or where have you heard of a foreign cab screw up a device?
The wifi cab works perfect with any TMOUS HD2, yet it wasn't released to the US market. Give it a try.
install to device or card
america just wants to make money on everyone for everything, if they gave away free wifi, like they do in most other countries, verizon, timewarner, cablevision wouldnt make the millions of dollars they do each year, they want you to opt to get the hot spot at home router its a shame that money is usally behind every descion in the world.
And by the way, no where does it say if your install facebook/anything on ur card you wont be able to use it when your hd2 is plugged in to your comp, you will get errors ive been getting sysfile.exe errors lately also and just now trying to youtube froze my fone i might call tmobile and see if i can get it switched out or something
device installs
also noticed if you install wifi router to device it doesn'tget nearly as hot at the bottom back of phone
Very helpful!
