Crossbow Reloaded - A Faria RK Production by mfrazzz

Crossbow Reloaded
A Faria ROM Kitchen Production by mfrazzz
I've been cooking my "perfect" rom with the Faria ROM Kitchen V2. I keep seeing people asking for a newer WM6 ROM that isn't "Vanilla" but comes with apps pre-installed (sort of like "the real thing" or Faria's AKU 3.3), so I've decided to release the ROM I'm now running on my phone. While this is not a fully loaded rom, it does come with stuff that I find useful. This ROM is a product of what _I_ wanted, so no complaints about why does this rom have this in it, or why didn't you put this in there. If you don't like how this rom is spiced, then go grab the Faria ROM Kitchen and make your own version (thats pretty much all this is).
Please Note: this ROM was NOT intended to push the limits on speed optimization or memory optimization. It was made to be functional and something that I myself wanted and will use. I've been running this ROM for over 24 hours, and on my phone with BatteryStatus overclocking it to 260Mhz, CpuScaler set to a min of 143MHz and a boost of 273MHz, I've found it to perform at a better than acceptable level for myself, and so far Battery life seems just as good as any other WM6 ROM I've tried.
What's In this ROM
This is straight out of the Faria ROM Kitchen so its a "fixed" version of "the real thing" that I've added packages too, and changed slightly.
ROM Version: 2.18.0.0 WWE
ROM Date: 02/14/06
Protocol: 4.1.13.09
ExtROM version: Faria V5.0
There is no Radio, IPL, SPL or Extended ROM.
Since this comes from the Faria ROM Kitchen it has the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1226318&postcount=4
I've added the following to this rom:
Voice Command 1.6 (US)
VoIP included, follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299950 to make it work
Adobe Reader LE
Notepad editor
Pocket RAR
HTC Zip
HTC X-Button
PIM Backup
Total Commander
GSFinder
MoDaCo NoData (so you can turn off data sources)
mUn Keyboard Skin
WM5torage 1.73
PHM Registry Editor
dotFred TaskManager (with registry editor link)
BatteryStatus 1.04.202 Beta 3 Build 0195 (latest version at time of build)
Smartskey 0.56 (DPAD is set to 0 in the .ini so the up and down scrolling works in the Phone dialer as expected in WM6)
10 Button CommManager with Black theme
New welcomehead.96.png (3rd splash screen) to match first two splash screens
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 and CID unlock, 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!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Recomendations
Use BatteryStatus (its included in the rom!) to overclock (I use 260MHz), and the CPUscaler settings in BatteryStatus to set a min of 143MHz and a Boost of 273MHz
For Cingular users, I recommend you use the T-Mobile 2.19 UK Radio. Newer Radio versions tend to have missed calls and SMS messages (just like with all other WM6 ROMs)
Known Issues
After installing, you will need to modify Regional Settings as it defaults to English (UK), and Date Format will need to be adjusted to your liking (same behavior as the Faria Vanilla from the ROM Kitchen)
After initial install, I've found it best to configure BatteryStatus for overclocking, then perform a soft reset.

Crossbow Reloaded v1.5 has been released!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306820
.

I would like to thank the following in help (directly and indirectly) with Crossbow Reloaded:
Faria for providing both the base rom and the ROM Kitchen that I used to "cook" this ROM.
Funman for his fantastic PDF document on using the ROM Kitchen and for answering questions and fixing bugs in packages I hastily put together
ADB100 for finding and fixing some bugs in packages I worked on
Molski for having a nice tutorial on various cooking tools and providing easy access to info at http://www.molski.biz
Many others here that provided information, tips, and suggestions that I used when putting this together
While I'm releasing this, I fully realize this is really just a repackaging of the Faria Vanilla ROM that is included in Faria's ROM Kitchen. Other than a couple of slight modifications, I don't take credit for a full "cooking". This is more like taking a pre-packaged dinner, and adding the spices and herbs that I wanted for my taste buds. Believe me, this was not that hard to do, and I did not spend the countless hours that full blown chefs spend in providing amazing base roms. So a HUGE thanks goes to the REAL chefs that support our community!

This post will be where I place extra files to add to / enhance / fix this ROM
Attached is the cab file for Cingular users to setup GPRS and MMS.
For T-Mobile US users, here's a link to a post by FZZF that has info for your setup of GPRS and MMS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1250747&postcount=408
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
For G4 users, I've attached a zip file 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. Before anyone asks, yes, the htc logo one is grainy. I had to do that due to size limitations of the file. I tried for a couple of hours to get a nicer version to work but it wouldn't display correctly (seems to have to be pretty low res / non-complex)
.

One more post to reserve space for future needs...

woot! sounds great, downloading now
u guys r gonna turn me into even more of a flashing junkie than I was before!
just wanna say thanks to ALL ROM cookers and anyone else that helped, keep up the great work!

Looks like a good ROM put together with essential programs. Thanks

Nice..
I'm glad you got it done
Its good to have a "fully loaded", stable, WM6 out there. And you've likely saved lots of people lots of time and frustration by pre-cooking it for them. Especially first time upgraders, or those coming from faria's 3.3 rom.
Best wishes,

Just what I have been looking for.
I shall give it a whirl tonight.
Thanks

rom
nice work mate
is this the wm6 faria version with the extra OEM packages from the other thread ?
as i installed them i encountered an error with NoData, an unexpected...
this could be coz i dont have a data connection yet..
it also wouldnt connect anymore to my activesync 4.5.. solved this by
reinstalling the wizard-driver in my pc.
i was wondering if i need anything else added if i wish to add some cab files
for preinstalling my apps..
maybe we can setup some coorperation to make the perfect rom for all of us.
with the help of faria's romkitchen v2 it be the best solution there is..
there is need for graphics, for OEM packages, extended roms and testing
since i read a lot and flashed about 35 phones now i can probably be of use

This is the base rom provided by Faria in his ROM Kitchen V2. Only changes I made directly to the ROM was in putting in the 10 Button CommManager, and the 3rd splash screen. Beyond that its that straight base rom, and then the packages I released (and a couple I didn't release) in the Share the packages thread. NoData works fine for me, but if you don't have any data sources setup then yeah, it may crash (never tried that).

This isn't a base rom, If you want to preinstall your own apps, you would need to cook your own version of this rom (or post the packages and I'll consider them for a new release that might come out.
Yeah the Share the Packages thread was aimed at just that, to allow people to share rom kitchen packages so we can all easily build what we see as the perfect rom. Unfortunately, I've been the only one releasing anything in that thread.
Speaking of graphics, I just realized I left out all of the themes I was going to put into this rom. Ah well... I guess a reason for another version of this.

Thanks... This is the base I tend to immediately put on all of my roms after I flash to a new version, so I decided to just get it all inside a rom, and the Faria Vanilla was working VERY well for me.
I personally don't use TodayAgenda (I've had issues with it in the past, and I have a paid copy of PocketBreeze that I use instead). I really wanted to get WeatherPanel in here, but finally decided against it. Instead I'll post an updated cab for it (fixes the Moon phase through 2008) and a copy of the files for the Chemeleon-240-QVGA theme, and WeatherPilot (so you can do one handed navigation of WeatherPanel).

@Mfrazz, Thanks for kicking this out to the masses, I'm running Faria beta Vanilla and haven't found the time to master the RK and cook my own. I appreciate you taking the time to make the kitchen easier for the not so technical and for sharing your ROM. Looking forward to future version and the weather panel cab with skins and all...that progy looks cool.

[Out Dated] Open Touch v5.0 | WM 6.1 Build 19213.1.0.4 | T-Mobile Wing

I'm currently working on v5.0 which will be WM 6.1 Build 19213.1.0.4 and hope to have it completed some time next week.
I'm planning on releasing the following version for this release.
Micro - Don't worry it will include WM for the MP3 ring tone lovers....lol
Lite - Not sure which interface I will be using yet.. but it will be fast.
Org - This will be almost the same as the original rom (Wing and Herald versions), but with a Open Touch twist...
You could say that I'm going to give T-Mobile and HTC a free upgrade to WM6.1 Build 19213.1.0.4....LoL
Biggy - This one will look like my Avatar..
PointUI - Pretty much the same as the current v4.5 PointUI but with the cube and newer build.
One last thing:
I've made a bet with my wife and if I can get enough donations, she will let me cook and publish new build once in awhile.
I told here that people love my work but she thinks I'm making it up.
I don't need big donations, a few bucks per person will help shut her up and me to win the bet...lol
If you have already donated don't worry about it, but if you have never donated, please think about helping me out.
Hang tight,

Awesome! Will this be based off the Wing or the Herald ROM? In the other thread you commented how the 3.0 works better due to being the Wing Rom tweaked but the 4.0 is the Herald. How will this work with the Wing??

great dude i'm on for it!

Some really helpful stuff

****** GREAT NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!! ******
5.2org MMS/SMS working 100% ... The fix that ttran001 uploaded is the same identical file that is already in the rom . I tested his file , the file from 5.2org and the file from 5.3 biggie. All 3 are the same so I opted to use the file from 5.3 biggie as its working in the rom already.
Method 1
1.) Flashed 5.3 biggie to your phone.
2.) Run the network wizard
3.) Let network wizard restart phone.
4.) Send a MMS message to anybody.
5.) Let anyone send a MMS to you.
6.) Open Total Commander
7.) Goto \Windows
8.) Goto file thread_sms.htm
9.) Click File >> Properties
10.) Check box Change... Then check Read only , Hidden , System.
11.) Press OK.
12.) Soft Reset device.
Method 2
1.) Download my file Pureskillzzz thread file.rsr and extract thread_sms.htm . (at the moment its on my ftp)
2.) Copy it to the windows directory using activesync or Total Commander.
3.) Open Total Commander
4.) Goto \Windows
5.) Goto file thread_sms.htm
6.) Click File >> Properties
7.) Check box Change... Then check Read only , Hidden , System.
8.) Press OK.
9.) Soft Reset device.
You now have working threaded SMS/MMS in 5.2 org

Yeah most of them are built on Kaiser roms

I actually understand the family reasoning and would understand the halt in production. I would only hope that if WM 7 hits you will return. Your works are art in my opinion and appreciated. The only thing I would hope in a "Final Lite" version would be that you remove as much from the ROM as possible and give the end user a chance to add the files as non-system files. Just a seperate archive with the ROM pack so we wont have to search through endless threads to get the features/sounds that were removed.
all tones, btAudio, Advanced Config, autocabs, dialer skin, calculator skin, commanager skin, allblack.tsk, and templates.
Hope I am not offending you by the requests but since this is a Final release I figured I best ask now or forever hold my peace.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm going to go with the original radio for all the roms and will make available different radio versions for you folks to install after flashing the roms.
Please remember that battery life might not be as good but the reception should be a lot better with newier raido versions.
To me it's a choice we all have to make, I have a charger most of the time so battery life does not matter to me. I want to be able to make and receive calls.
Regards,

I just donated a small amount. I have been a big fan of OT since 1.0 and am looking forward to 5.0

Sign up now
Okay,
I have a list of my beta team members and a few old timers.
Now I would like to have some folks that really enjoy my work, reply back so I can add them to my future no pubilc releases.
Regards,

Org build today
Folks,
I will have the Org build completed and uploaded today.
This will be a good rom for folks that want and need some of the original programs like Windows Live, My5favs and it will come with the standard NetCF 2.0 so all older programs will work with it.
But please remember that it will not be as fast as the other versions due to NetCF 2.0 instead of NetCF 3.5.
Regards,
Tony Tran

The lite version will need to be flashed via your SD Card.
Please report any issues you find and I will begin working on fixing them.
A couple of known issues:
* battery meter doesn't update properly. Update the registry to look like this, soft reset and Voila:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:00000065
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:000003e9
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
"BaseId"=dword:00000000
* Phone won't powercycle - it is a bug that has to do with M2D. Use the reboot option under quickmenu
please report back any bugs that you find, and i will work on them and get a new version posted as soon as possible, but I am only able to upload when I get home from work (usually around 9:00pm CST) because I have a slow internet connection at work.
here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=f3232c42acce9cf541446e35a78dc46339c6720f418718fac95965eaa7bc68bc

Here are the requested screen shots. I apologize for the delay it just kept slipping my mind. The only thing that will change in the final release will be a custom theme for M2D to go along with my theme for the ROM.

Beta;
I'm up for it send me a PM. --Thanks;
I can test pretty much everyhting but the btooth for you. I uh.. well... I gave the bluetooth to Snuggle (Laundry detergent bear.) :$

hey!
i also want to test your rom

Private Beta Released
The Beta Version was released last night to the 10 Beta Testers. I am anxiously awaiting their response. I am hoping to be able to fix any bugs that they find and release it to the public Mon or Tues.

Beta Testers
I had a couple of the beta testers report that they are having trouble flashing. One tester tried a different RUU (Flash Center) and it worked. I didn't have this problem when testing. Can some others try a different RUU if you are having troubles flashing.
I have family obligations tonight and will be offline until Sunday. Please report back any info to me.

Testing Open To Everyon
I included the link to the first beta release of my first ROM. Please report back any bugs that you find. The first post also has a couple of known issues and bugs.
Also, updates will occur in the evening as that is the only time I have a reliable internet connection to upload.

Please Teach Me
For the past two months, I've been struggling to learn how to cook properly for the Herald. After following the lessons by Ivan, I am still clueless when it comes to SYS. I simply don't understand how it works. If you don't mind, do you have another way of explaining to me how to work that folder so I can preinstall programs I want? Thanks.

I am flattered that you would seek my advice, but I must honestly say that I am still a very very newbie when it comes to ROM cooking and probably not the best person to seek the advice of when it comes to learning to cook. All of the information is out there to learn from, unfortunately it is just not in one nice, neat, and organized place. However, if you are wanting to add programs to be preinstalled in a ROM then you should be focussing on your OEM folder. That is where you are going to be adding the packages of the programs. The way I understand things, and keep in mind I am a beginner, the newer SYS folders are basically the newest versions of the different things that MS includes in the ROM. Your OEM folder is where you will be placing the packages of the programs you want to use.

Bugs???
Everyone please post any issues or bugs that you find so I can work to fix them.
Thanks

Hey Qball, I was still unable to get the rom to install after the RUU error. I tried using another RUU but to no avail.

i'll test the rom today.
try to make an *nbh file smaller- it'll leave more space to operate the rom

test: A-
it's pretty fast rom, has a lot of useful programs, but as i was afraid, the rom is little "fatty". on fresh flash, i had 15 mb of ram, and 24 mb of storage, whith is not much. i didn't dig it to much deep'cause i don't have time for this, but on my opinion, if you'll strip it down , it could be a very nice rom.

So Please, Help me Out here. Also Mods. if this Topic in a Wrong Section or Area Please Move to the Proper Area.
Thank you

You have all the tools you need right here in the Herald forum to build this yourself. Just download Ivan's kitchen and learn to use it. Cooking ROMs is very time consuming, I doubt most of them have the time to do it. But who knows, you might get lucky and get an offer. I would give it a shot if I had the time, But I've only cooked a ROM once so far.

It may be time consuming but well worth it. I thought I was all babe pig in the city when I first flashed JustHome on my fone. Then I grabbed on and slammed in head first into SuperJustKitchen and I couldn't be happier. The time spent was well worth it

Please post your request in the existing Request a ROM thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554615&highlight=request+rom

Agreed with all the above! I would make it but i just got SJK 0.4 all set up and don't feel like switching to 0.5 yet. So i don't have the newest builds.

I have tried your rom it was nice and stable but very bare,
camera worked, office didn't work(told me to reset but it still didn't work)
It had very few programs and it lacked essentials like
RealVGA. An x7510 with it's enormous screen is ridiculous without RealVGA

Ill try to add more stuff

Hey, Vico, could you post some screenshots of of ROM?
Like Programs and Settings, to know what apps you take out.
Oh, yes, and memory storage and free ram programs.
I think if you want to add more apps, you could do this with separated .cabs, not with your ROM.
So we just install that would be useful to each one.
Just my two cents.

I said its a beta, you can't expect me to cook everything in one go. Plus this is my first time cooking rom. I posted this up because people were wanting this build.
Ill add screenshots to the first post.

You are very welcome as a new chef for x7510, and I am very grateful that you do this. There is so much activity for 7500 and 7501 and so little activity in this forum so any chef who'll cook a new rom is a hero in my eyes. When I and others are telling you about things that don't work it is not meant as criticism but as testing reports so the rom can get better.
keep up the good work!
cheers

Ps Thanx to peppi.nl for making me aware of the situation for Real VGA, I didn't know

In fact, RealVGA works. But not properly. Specialty inferior bar at Today screen. But the other menus works fine.
Office 2010 doesn't work well. But I think this a Office problem, not a ROM problem. I have the same problem with Diamond.
Anyway, if someone want to change it to Office 6.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1556679&postcount=24
Indeed a very nice ROM (it really not seems a beta, but a real RC).
Too light, stable and fast. A real jewel for anyone who wants a 6.5.3 ROM.
(unfortunately I have to come back to 6.1, cos some app doesn't workin' well with 6.5.x)
Very nice work Vico. Keep it up, mate!

Not yet, i will be updating this build. Making it better

I have been using xtep's 6.5 rom for some time and I have quite satisfied with it.
The day before yesterday I flashed three times.
I first tried your rom and then when Word didn't work I tried avengerpenguins rom. With his rom I had a problem with the touchscreen which made it comletely unusable for me.
I then tried saied's rom where everything apparently worked but it became slower and slower and neither ramcleanining nor resets helped it was in the end comletely useless.
Yesterday after having read more in your thread I flashed back to your rom. It is great!
Now my two cents worth: I hope you keep it small, clean and fast, It is the first rom I have tried that didn't even have an extra onscreen keyboard. but this is great since many of the roms have keyboards that are not centered well, it is much better to put it in afterwards. )( I use Finger Keyboard)
thx for your good work

Ive updated it to a newer version. (check the first post)
Office word 2010 now works.

I also found that the x7510wrapper.exe was missing so I used the one from his first rom. It worked for me. See below

hello sir. thanks for this update utility tool. I have been able to update my phone. the menu are realy perfect. is there any french rom for this x7510? I tried the french rom of x7500 but it did not work. it seems they have different hardware. i will be happy if someone can give me link to french rom version of x7510. thanks

The difficulty is that the applications would then have to be in french (i think so)...sure i can make the rom in french but i don't know how all it would turn out.

i am ready to test in case u can make it.
