rom still has htc home, soft key applet and other stuff that comes in HTC rom.
A clean rom should not have any extra junk like htc home only essential apps. I hope someone will do a real clean rom, this rom still has adobe, audio maanger, bluetooth explorer and java, world card mobile and streaming media and zip. Not very clean

Isnt this the first cooked rom? Maybe we could be a bit less picky and a bit more constructive hmmmm? He does great work on the 8525 or tytn and currently Im using that on my 8525, by far the fastest I have seen. My advice is take what you can get if you dont know how to do it yourself or at least not discourage his work.
well said, austinsync exemplifies the very meaning of contributing member.

Great news guys !!
Seems cooking finally arrive to Kaiser.... Thanks, mate...

Actually it's the second, but still, I don't think it's that mcq3000 doesn't appreciate austinsync's effort. We're all grateful to have the cooks fixing Microsoft's mess. But he does have a point. As far as clean ROMs go, this just isn't one of them. It's not that it's bad, but he just shouldn't be calling it a CLEAN ROM, that's all.
Nice job austinsnyc. A lot of people will enjoy a good streamlined ROM.
Here's my opinion on the "clean ROM" issue a couple people are having. I personally think this is a "clean ROM". I don't believe austinsnyc's intention with this was to create a stripped down base ROM to be used for cooking. I think he put together a nice ROM with all the extra junk taken out that took up space and degraded performance. The items that were left in (and mentioned in the original protest) allow for the same familiar look and feel and to make it possible to use this ROM on a daily basis without the need to install a ton of apps to make it useable.
But, that's just my opinion.
GOOD job ausitnsync!
Please, can you remove the HTC HOME plugin too or make an another version like this but without the HOME plugin.
Taken out Windows Live is without taken Windows Live Messenger out, isn't it? Good job!!!
Smartdialing is handy to call somebody quick, please hold that.
Voicedialing function is also handy, I use it in the car. -> question: you wrote you removed the icon but it's still in Settings.
I haven't the Kaiser yet, but in my Prophet it's in Settings. Is in the Kaiser in Programs an icon too?
I like this cooking
Thanks Austin. I prefer this version of cooking. I think I will keep this. Very responsive..... scrollwheel and button press etc. Thanks for your effort
This looks to be just what I'm after.
However as a newbie, what do I need to do to install this on my Kaiser.
Yes I know there's a load of stickies at the top of this forum, but I'm somewhat lost on which one I actually need.
Thanks.

There are only 4 stickies at the moment, not too much reading, but you really shouldnt try ROM flashing until you have read and understood them all. The Hermes Wiki has more information regarding upgrading/flashing.
@mcq3000 if you think you can do better, feel free to post your own Lite ROM.
@austinsnyc Congratulaions and thanks for your work, How much memory is free after a reboot?
Thanks Wizzard.
I done many an update on my old Mio A701, but not a Kaiser. That's appeared simple compared with the various thread regarding upgrading the Kaiser (and other HTC based products).
Guess what I mean is, the above ROM is still in essence(spelling) a standard one with stuff removed. Do I still need to treat it as a full blown ROM update. I don't want to download various programs to update the ROM unless I need to?
Thanks
Kevin
Thanks austinsnyc !
Thanks for a nice and fast ROM, your timing is perfect I only got my wizard last tuesday I'm looking forward to new builds and releases
Thanks to all involved in the cooking for getting this to work so fast
To end the debate on this I can call it anything I like since I am the one that made it this was a test to see if we can start cooking rom's with the new tools that where made and I was kind enough to share it with the rest of you.... some of you might know that I don't take requests to take this out or that out. I build roms so that I can use them on a daily basis with out having to install tons of apps, all you have to do is set up your personal settings on your good to go. all this rom is showing is that we are well on are way to rom cooking and that where are headed down the right path.

Please can you write a manual how you did this so people can do that at their own.
For example what I do right now at my Qtek S200:
Once I copied al .cab files to a SD Card and keep these cabs on my PC.
When I do a hardreset, at the moment the device want to install the Extended Rom I do a soft reset. Then I've a standard/clear WM system and then I install the Qtek cabs those I want.
Something like this is what I want to do too with the TyTN II. At first the HTC HOME plugin, it's too big, not handy and take too much resources.
Thank you in forward!

there is no EXT_Rom in the kaiser it is simply following a config file to install cabs to the windows directory. the tools to cook roms will be released as soon as they are finished they are almost done untill then no I can not release them as I did not make them I simply test for someone

Nice work, but isn't the SIM Manager kind of a pretty important app?
Hi people,
I come from the other side of the fence "Palm"
I just upgraded to the X7510, sweet piece of hardware and beautiful 5" display
So i'm very familiar in the Palm Treo world on customizing my own ROMs.
After reading & searching A LOT in here and other PPC forums, i still have a few utilities i can't seem to find.
So i read there is also a BootLoader screen in the PPC world, very typical of the HTC devices, makes custom ROMing very simple.
However, i still haven't come across the name of the applications you guys use to Dump (backup) the current ROM, and the Upload the new ROM into the device.
Or it seems like the only way is via ActiveSync 4.5 ?
Another doubt i have is about the Unlocked part.
My device is straight from HTC unlocked, does it mean it is fully SIM and CID unlocked, or it's only SIM unlocked?
By that i want to figure out if i need to run the CID unlock before doing the Custom ROMs etc.
And last but not least...
I'd like to contribute with the 7510 ROM original dump, seems like the Wiki doesn't have it yet,
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Athena_Upgrades
so i'll probably need the same whatever tool you guys use, as asked in my first question, to backup the old ROM.
which will also help us fill the empty space in the Wiki left for the very same question
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Athena
"How to dump the ROM"
Thanks
Cheers!
well... since i got no response from anybody
Thanks to myself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408519
found the tool i was looking for to build my own rom.
and to top it off i finally found the ROM backup topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680
now beats me on the mobile 6 subsection, and something that is totally on another area for another phone... oh well...
Good on you allgamer for taking a lead here. Some of us have been pushing for a separate 7510 forum under the Athena section. Without that we 7510 owners are continuously looking for "needles in haystacks".
cktlcmd and eaglesteve have been burning the 7510 candle for us. With your input we'll get this device on the map yet.
Hey i also just got a x7510, and id love see a x7510 rom!
hell yeah, you can say that again.... it was so hard to find anything, some times stuff like this the Search engine did not pick it up
like the rom dump, on another phone, i understand it is all PPC, but still it might have been different for some models
at least that was true in the Palm world, so i guess in the PPC world we'll have it easy, since it looks like all models dump appears to be the same.
as for the utility, never would have guessed it would have been found mentioned within a thread about something completely different.
anyways, now that i know, i'll be writing more about it, once i start working on it.

well, i don't mind sharing my custom ROMs, once i start cooking them.
but don't expect too much since, what i usually like to do is simply clean up all the junk that i don't need
then replace them with Freebies, or registered software, which if that is the case, i wont be able to share it here.
x7510 owners - forward march!
Something several of us are keen to see is a work around to make RealVGA work with Spb Mobile Shell. AllGamer, you mentioned in a post under "SPB Mobile Shell incompatible with Real VGA 96 dpi on the X7510" that you got a solution posted elsewhere working. Can you share with us how you did that?
Also, my devise is definately not running as smooth and quick as I would like it (or expect it to given its processor). As a prelude to getting some cooking going (and I'm not a chef) could we start to identify some tweaks that will make the stock ROM more efficient? For example I always ramp up the siz of cache etc. via MemMaid but to be honest I'm never sure whether it does any good or not.
Hi robjhellis,
Are you saying the performance in x7510 is not as smooth as it should be ? Can you please tell during what operations ie. Video etc it becomes sluggish.That would be a good place to start with.
Thanks,
Srini
Just guess, but i think that is the so much talked about behaviour of the video drivers issue on all HTC products
Videos are great no lag (well when i play them in coreplayer full screen, with specs up full). Only one "problem" lol...the audio is exactly -0.512milli seconds behind (when you hear it). So stupid tried all kinds of videos same result lol so thankfully coreplayer has an option were you just put "-0.512" in and ill kinda sync up the audio.. windows media player is pretty much pointless to play video now since you can't put -512 anywhere and the audio lags big time.
the audio in general is really bad, put on real expensive headphones and you can hear ssshhhhh hissss - the background noise.
Note: i was so shocked/surprised that i did a hard reset thinking maybe its something that i might of installed, but nope problem still there

Hi Guys, my issue isn't playing video - I haven't got to that stage yet on my 7510. Rather its just slow moving around menus, reloading after a soft reset, opening programs etc. I can sometimes count up to 3 and even 5 after selecting a tab before the tab appears e.g. Settings-System. I've also now started to see the start icon in the top left corner not redraw after a soft reset. There is much more lag than I see on my TyTN which, of course, is running a custom ROM

I will suggest to check in the ATHENA WM6 section the thread how to speed sogarth base rom....
Basically install netCF3.5 , FDCsoft Taskmanager 3.1 and start changing how/stopping started services and applications (There are many lauchxx keys in the registry to change to avoid self application startup)

By any chance, do you know how to exlude Biotouch from starting list? It is not started from startup links, or at least not directly. I was browsing the regs also, but could not find anything. I use FTouchSL and UL for cube effect on Today screan, so Biotuch seems to be useless.
Also, do you now what a wt5portm or something like that is for ?

its in advance - > near the bottom "manual A/V offset +/-"
but it still dosn't work...anyone got a solution plz....i don't know what to do the audio is always out of sync for any video..
I've found the same lag on audio and it is SO annoying! Nothing seems to fix it!!
I've created a quick "how-to" on dumping the x7510 ROM, which may be found here: http://htcathena.freeforums.org/dumping-your-x7510-s-rom-t6.html#p7
I will follow up with a "how-to" on re-constructing the ROM (unless somebody else feels inclined to do so instead). [Edit - found this how-to] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066
However, we still need HardSPL or similar. CMONEX told me she and Olipro are working on an unlocker with that functionality, so we'll need to wait a tad! Once we have that we can start cooking some ROM's.
Hi Everyone...
I did something to my phone and now I am looking to reflash it. I loved how I had my phone, but thought maybe a newer rom would help me out... I had the stock 6.0 installed. I used it primarly with TomTom.. I have the HTC Home installed and love it, but if touch flo is cool I would consider that as well.. I also love all the S2U, S2P, etc and other applications that made it very finger friendly, I like to be able to see what I have scheduled at a glance.. I do a lot of TXT messaging... I also like to play games on it (I use the nintendo enulator a lot) I have a 16gb microSD card so I have plentry of room if it need to install on the card as well (I had a Motorola MPX200 that I had to do that with). I also use Voice Command often. I would like instant messaging to be a breeze.
My Cellphone Service Provider is not AT&T (Einstein Wireless) and I would need to be able to put all the settings for them for internet and otehr network setting into it... so I need no AT&T bloatware or special software... I do take some pictures with my phone from time to time... so if there was a "Better" camera program that would be cool too...
I am hoping that there is a rom that has most of all of these features cooked in so setup will be a time saver... I know I will still ahve to manually enter the carrier info, but the extra software and stuff would be great.. If you are using a rom that does most of this and you love, let me know.. I am looking ot do this tomorrow..
Before this gets closed by the mods, our general suggestion is to try the different cooked ROMs available. The threads for each should show a list of applications included with the ROMs, so you can determine from the included apps if it is a ROM you are willing to try. If you have never flashed a cooked ROM, please check out the Wiki for instructions to prepare your phone for flashing cooked ROMs. It will save you a lot of headache.
You'd be better to try a few of the cooked ROMs and see what you like. The ROM's on the first two pages are the most popular ones at the moment. See what they contain from the firs few pages.
Thread closed as per guidelines.

Well I'm sad to say but all the ROMs I have tried in the past couple of weeks haven't worked for me...
The story of my ROMs experimentation starts with T-Mobile Vario III and T-Mobile customized ROM. In short, like a worst nightmare! New version of T-Mobile customized ROM, nothing happened, everything was exactly same as with previous version.
Then I finally decided to try couple of WM 6.5 ROMs which worked like a charm but WM 6.5 is beta and half of the stuff in it is unfinished... Back to 6.1...
Than: HyperDragon (a few variants), shifu, Paradox, AthineOS, TPCExtreme, Ultimate-X... Mostly SuperRam ROMs... Hundred of pages in topics, dozens of fixes, black screens, restarts and so on... Applications that I don't need, folders confusingly organized, startup and bootup screens that don't fit to one business phone, black background icons (what's wrong with WM icons with transparent background) and so on...
Currently using stock HTC ROM and it works. It is sluggish but my device doesn't restart and I don't have to install at least 5 programs or fixes to make him work...
My question: Can someone point me to ROM that works without reading through 100 pages of topics and installing fixes for stuff that should work like notification and volume control? I use my Kasier as a business phone and primary e-mail reading device and I can't afford for my Kaiser to be offline for couple of hours (not to mention a day) and don't have time to read thousands of posts of "how-to-fix".
What do I need? Messaging (SMS and e-mail with notifications working), Opera, iGO, working Volume control, Bluetooth and jog wheel to be able to quickly quite my device if in a meeting or to change the volume of speaker when in a call.
I don't mean to disrespect all the chef's around and I do appreciate your work because for most of people around here you make their Kaisers work the way they should work!

If you want you machine to work right off the rip I would stay with a stock rom. while all the roms here are great unforseen prob do come up. While the cooks try to help fix it they do it for fun and have other matters to attend to.

I totally agree...
Anyway, if you look at the way PDACorner organized his post, you'll see that on post #2, there is a list of known bug with links to all fixes... This is really a way of organizing things that I personnally like very much and can save you from reading 1000s of posts for getting the info...
Flashing is for those of us who want to make our phones perfect, the best Apps, the best speed, the very best function and style. We don't mind a little work to or reading to get them " exactly " the way we want it.
I have worked at getting My phone perfect ( also a business phone ) and it is. None of the problems that you seem to think are inherent in every cooked rom.
You sound to me like the stock rom type not the cooked rom type. Do it HTC's way and stick with the stock rom.
There is a huge difference between stock roms and cooked roms. Stock roms are meant to work flawlessly, without bugs and without too many additional software. The default configuration will work, will (most likely) not crash, but won't do anything fancy either. It might also be slow at times.
Cooked roms are made for those who would like to experiment. People who don't mind a crash now or then, and don't mind to reflash every day/week/month (tick the one that applies ).
If i would use my phone for business purposes i would probably stay with the stock ROM or flash a stable 6.1 ROM, like PDACorner's.
Nevertheless there is no such thing as a perfect ROM. Every ROM has it's advantages as well as disadvantages. Live with it; Windows Mobile just isn't a perfect mobile OS, while doubting the fact any OS can be...
I switch ROM's on a regulary basis. Basic functions always work, no matter the ROM. I flash because additional features work better/faster/more stable on certain ROM's than others. But this requires some of your time, to flash and set everything up again.
The fun is that all of this is up to you. If you like to experiment, then flash as much as you like until you find something you like. There will always be certain flaws where you will have to live with.
There is no such thing as perfect ROM! Always remember to keep flashing and keep reading!

Read, my friend. I said they are meant to work without bugs and work flawlessly in a default configuration. You won't hear me say that they always do.
Nevertheless the stock ROM will in most cases do sort of everything the way it is meant to be. The change of finding broken application links or errors from mortscript i.e., is pretty small, if not none. And if these errors do appear, you've obviously bought a phone of bad quality.
This said, i'm not using a stock ROM myself. In that case i wouldn't reply to this topic. I'm someone, just like the rest here i suppose, who likes to switch to the newest, even though the quality might be worse then what i've had. But i'm always in for something new, which you might not be if you're using you phone for business purposes and do very much rely on the call quality, for example.
It's simple really either you stick to stocks or you become a flasher @ which point you will flash untill you find that ROM that you know can be used every day and still carry on flashin to try find a new better ROM if you don't like or got bugz you flash back to your every day ROM......
If it all seems tooo much and your a person who can't problem solve "read" and also put in the time to set up device as you wish then a stock is best bet.

Ok, I was wondering if anyone out there possibly knows (without flashing to custom rom) how to uninstall verizon's junk off the omnia i920. I tried bunch of custom roms and while they were good, each one of them had bugs. I tried to build my own last night without any luck whatsoever.
I know there has to be some work around where I can take the verizon stuff off. Or could someone tell me what I did wrong when I built my own rom...
I used Wozzers i920 kitchen. I hit buildos and then pressed the play button and it put files into OEM, SYS, and all those other folders. I went through and deleted some stuff in the OEM, SYS folders and made sure initfiles was clear of them as well as the rgu, but when I flashed my phone it wouldn't go past the verizon wireless screen.
Am I totally missing something? I tried taking out the following: All VZW bloat (games, nav, cityid, vvm, songid, Vcast and I'm sure a couple others), Bing, Office One Note, Excel, PowerPoint, Samsung Widgets, Windows Live and Opera.
Is there an exact step by step thread or threads to help me out, because I checked out modaco...was I supposed to drop the .nbo file back into buildos? I am so lost and I would love to get the VZ junk off.
Thanks in advance..I know this is alot to ask for...but I'm just wanting to remove a couple things and this phone would be perfect then.
In my opinion, the 'bugs' in most of the custom ROMs are less objectionable than the bugs in the stock ROM.
Have you tried Ninja4Hire's ROM? He uses builds that are inherantly more stable, 6.5 as opposed to 6.5.x.
I prefer his XDA version 7, so far. My phone is now the fastest I have ever had, and trouble free except for occasional added software conflicts.
You will need to read up a lot (at Modaco) and start practicing to figure out cooking your own ROMs, but there is quite a bit of help over there.
Yeah I have ninja's v7 rom on my phone now and something is going on with the sound when i get a text message. I'm going to try Amdzeros lite rom here shortly...i didn't have issues with text sounds until today so I don't know what I possibly done to get the sound not working.
I try to read up at modaco, and I joined that forum but I cannot post anything there or click links. I tried contacting the admins there but noone ever got back to me.
