Sound Option Builder BETA
DONATE FOR SOB
SOB allows complete control of how your phone responds to an incoming call. With SOB you can edit the script used by your phone when a call is received. This script, and the associated sound file (MP3 or WAV) results in sounds, vibrating, flashing LEDS, and so on.
SOB includes 5 quick set buttons preprogrammed with some helpful ring scripts. Use these scripts as starting points to create your own unique ring scripts.
With SOB you can even associate a different ring tone for each script you create. And you can preview your creations right in SOB.
For those using application launchers such as UltimateLaunch, Throttle, rlToday, MortScript, etc, SOB includes features specifically designed for you. Shortcuts can be created in SOB that when used with a launcher, or the start menu, there is no limit to the number of combinations of scripts and ringtones you can make. See the Command Line section in the attached readme file for more information.
With the ability to create unlimited ring scripts and pair them with any ring tones SOB is also a ring profile creator and profile switcher.

Interesting Software
I am looking for this kind of application for a long time due to I have to do it manually by changing the registry value. I guess this software change the registry value too.
The issuea are: i) program appearance in VGA is not correct (attached images); ii) same as changing the registry value, once I choose the Phone\Settings... to change other thing such as Service, band etc, the phone sound will be back to 'Ring'. The same with pointing to the Setting/Personal/Notification.
Hello,
that looks excellent.

There is a separate QVGA version uploaded to post #1.
I have no way to test. I hope it works for you.

I am using HTC Universal which is VGA! And the screen is captured from that device. Anyway, I tried your new uploaded cab (You said the QVGA) but the program ask me to 'initiate the .NetCF with listed version...' I am using cooked ROM WM 6.1 (Ranju 7.7). Hope that infor help.
Nice looking peice of software
I wonder if something like this could be tweaked to delay the vibration for x seconds after the ring-ton starts?
Similar to the "Vibrate then Ring" mode, but in reverse.
Tim
You can vibrate after ringtone starts playing but the ringtone will completely finish before vibration starts. Your phone runs each command one at a time in sequence so they never overlap eachother.

No problem, VGA and QVGA are confused. I re-download the cab file you supplied, then uninstall the current version on my Universal, clean the system by Memmaid then install your new cab file. Unfortunately, the problem exist as exactly same as my captured screen before (in 1st page). I saw you use Kaiser is QVGA device? It's hard for you to test on VGA device, isn't it?

Who is putting Spb Alt Tab in their roms [EDIT: Oops, I didn't read that in the first post. Apparently this is SPB AltTab in here (or the author doesn't know what he put in)]? If they are, then no, that is not legal (but then you get into the whole thing about how "legal" is it to run WM6 on the Wizard ) Some of the older WM5 roms had non-free software in them but they didn't have keys. So you had the benefit of having a cooked version of a paid app in the rom IF you have the key.
In XM6r3 (and most other roms I've seen) they are using PHM AltTab which is free.

Not to nitpick, but how about some credit to where you got this base rom? Also helps others to determine which base this is as there are a couple of different versions floating around, and some have rebased XIP and others don't. Also can give an indication as to what is known to work or not work when we know where it came from.

You just change the format of the short date to a long date format. You will, of course, have problems using File Explorer and any of the directory listing software that uses the system short date, because there is only room to see the first few charaters so you won't know what date a file was created on.
info before i flash
good day sir looks a promising rom but can you give info for how many storage left in the memory and storage please give more info
to jacknjill: to change date in htc home, you can play with this registry value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]
"SSDte"="ddd,d.MMMM"
"STFmt"="h:mm tM "
"S1159"="Am"
"S2359"="Pm"
notify the first one. Good luck!
Some more info about my rom:
pp=4 MB
Free RAM: 28-29 MB
Free storage: 44.5 MB
That worked, thanks!
I might want to try your ROM, but right now I have the most stable WM6 out there even with all the stuff I installed on it.
Hmm, 3 days since I released it with 88 times of download, and not many feed back ?

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").

Some new and fun ring tones - Nokia death, R2D2, Oldphone and Wolf Howl)
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.
Credits
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.

Cingular 2.25.11

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

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:

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).

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.

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/

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.
voice command
how can i get voicecommand to activate when i push the button on my headset. right now it just starts the phone app
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!

As stated this is mentioned as a known issue in the first post still. Never got from its right what the fix was (and may just be an issue with 318).
Awesome Job!
Once again, an awesome job mfrazzz. Keep it up. I have been using the XM6R3 until today.
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?
NO NEED FOR MORE DISCUSSION. THE NEW ROM IS RELEASED!!!
I plan to release a new English ROM. It will be based on the latest ROM improvements by vjgrace. There are many good ideas for implementing in the next release, but they are scattered into different threads. So, I've decided to create a new thread to gather them all here and make it easier for me to implement them.
Please keep your suggestions reasonable. I can implement only registry tweaks/fixes and add/replace/remove software/files. I do not have the source code of WM6.
You can also post your favorite registry tweaks and I'll see if I can add them to the Control Panel.
Looking forward to your suggestions.
Do NOT suggest something already implemented in vjgrace's latest ROM.
This will NOT be a vanilla ROM!!!
---------
Here's the suggested change log so far:
Additions/fixes/tweaks
New OS version: 5.2.1711.18165.0.5.0 (done - thank you GnatGoSplat )

Included Software (so far)
WM5torage v1.8
MoBlue v2.0 beta
GroupSMS and Inbox Extender
Fewbits Startup Manager
PIM Backup v2.8
SRS WOW XT
FEADIE (File Extension Association for Download in IE) v1.0
Dopod SIM Manager 1.4.36.365
Latest GSM radio and SPL update will be provided separately - no need to risk SPL update failure (download here)
I have one little suggestion: could you please add tweak for thin scrollbars?
Apps: maybe Schedy Mobile? Its realy fast and useful task and alarm manager I think it's much better than Oxios Alarms
Ok, can we change the device ID from TORN100 into dopod577w? Or perhaps create an option in the settings to tweak the device ID? I'm not talking about the ID that is keyed in when using nb_nbf tool. Cause I tried that and it doesn't work. I'm talking about the ID which shows up when you access the phoen registry with MobileRegistryEditor from your pc, u would see the id TORN100. Cause if that works, probably Cyberion Voice Commander would work as well, it is bundled with Dopod 577w installation pack which will only work for device with the id dopod577w
This should not be considered warez, because its not hacked or whatever, I paid for the phone which includes this software. It's very useful, hold the left soft key and you can utter alot of commands, such as Read SMS or voice digit dialling
PLZ integrate connective tools sleepwell for flightmode switching
http://www.connectivetools.com/sleepwell.html
I would like a version for spv c600 without WIFI stuff if possible
No applications, yes tweaks
Please, don't include more aplications, only tweaks. I'd prefer a vanila edition, buy if it's not possible don't add so much applications.
Thansk
Dude, read first post. VANILLA ROM IS NOT POSSIBLE. because even if you remove the apps, you won't save the storage.
@karhoe:
Do you know which registry key sets the device ID? And the software you provide, may be helpfull, but it's too big (1.1MB).
@b0gdi:
WiFi stuff is less than 0.5MB. There's no significant gain in removing it!
Well one thing that have not yet done I think is to integrate a O2 MENU like that are highly costumizable for us to have a well organize menu and to give our WM5 phone a unique and a different look...what can you say about htis guys
This wold be nice to include : http://www.jgui.net/black/vistaspinterface/index.html
History of changes:
Version 2.0.
more new clock styles
incl. Predator time, what you should understand to survive ;-)
new weather icons (like in Yahoo!Widgets)
program launcher runs
more fixes for portrait screens
fixes for some newest devices
fixes for traybar and some others images
Ability to disable t9 and T9 input methods
DUN profile enabled
AAC codec installed
AAC and WMP files associated with WMPlayer by default
Screen Rotation app
Ability to change comm manager colors to match color scheme
registry change to hear callers in dual-mono on stereo headsets (works correctly on some builds, broken on this build for my Motorola S9s)
SAP (SIM Access Profile) for MS bluetooth stack
smartamazing, O2 Menu unfortunately is for QQVGA and not for QVGA resolution.
dadme, Vista Interface is a really cool proggy, but not everyone uses it (including me).
Let's keep the software list short with useful applications, such as necessary system tools or utilities. They must not be more than 200Kb in size. GUIs are something completely subjective and anyone should install its favourite one.

t9 can be disabled at the input box. Why should I add this option to the Control Panel? DUN profile is already included. Screen Rotation application is still under development. CommManager color scheme is hard-coded; cannot be changed on-the-fly!
What's the SAP for MS BT Stack?
Attach the AAC codec here and provide me the necessary registry tweaks that you mention above, and I'll implement them.

Well, we just have to set the device ID, and tweak the cab so that it can install into storage card . I have no idea, searched the entire registry that was dumped for torn100 but can't seem to find at all
Oh, and perhaps we should include Vox display driver straight away, so we can easily embed screen rotation in the future
Bad news about the device ID. It seems that it's hard-coded in the kernel. The only "TORN100" string I've found in the entire ROM dump is in nk.exe!!!
I think there are some issues with the Vox display driver, concerning screen refresh...
Could it be the reason why my screen hangs each time it is locked?
Hi!
I'd prefer too clean ROM with only tweaks and without apps. Just my suggestion...I understand that isn´t goot for all. Is possible release two ROMs?First clean and second with apps?
My suggestions
Latest ROM by vjgrace is very GOOD, but is possible take base from latest Sharks ROM?Is good latest Sharks ROM?Did anybody test it?
Additions/fixes/tweaks and New settings in Control Panel just well
Startup/shutdown animation and sound by NG is very nice, but please with shut off sounds
New software
Please just absolutely required apps! for example apps like in vjgrace ROM and less...without CLOCK ON TOP...
suggested apps:
1. is usseeles by me...
2.yes!
3.why not
4.i don´t now...
5.yes!
6.yes!
7.is usseles by me...its freeware and don´t use everyone so this program can everyone install alone so far as need it
O2 Menu and Vista Interface please no. Maybe more codecs...
Thanks!
While everyone wants a clean ROM, unfortunately its not possible because even if you removed the apps, it doesnt mean you gained anything.
Btw, why is this so? Something to do with the make_imfgs while cooking the ROM?
Karhoe
I Know i read your text and I don´t want absolutely clean ROM I want just with absolutely required apps vjgrace ROM is in this direction good!I just wanted say that thinks like O2 Menu or Vista Interface is absolutely useless and for example i prefer more codecs, ulilits like contacs menu for sending visiting card via msg, Acrobar reader LE, All reader...xbar not Top on Clock...

We must fill the ROM will a specific amount of "bytes" for having the maximum internal space available. So, I'll try to include the most "popular" useful small utilities.
Please, no more talking about vanilla versions or removing applications/utilities. Just suggest your favorite tweaks/fixes (please attach any necessary files) and your favorite small utilities/system tools. I'll include as many software I can, without dropping under 20MB (or at least 19.5MB) of available internal storage.
I'll try to be objective on fulfilling your software wish list.
I know you can get them from other places either in CAB or in OEM Packages. However, it's just too difficult to get them all together.
So I present you some of the OEM packages which I collected, extracted or created for use in my ROM.
1. The first one is taken from Schaps' ROM. It's a 3G-Battery with Indicator. I didn't ask Schaps' permission for this. I hope he's cool with it.
2. O2 Backup is taken from O2 Life and has been fixed to work on all devices. It allows you to backup PIM & My Documents data
3. O2 SMS Plus v1.6 is also taken from O2 Life. It's sorta like SMS Threaded applications. It also allows you to send/receive vCard from other dumb phones. It also support group SMS & Scheduled SMS
4. HTC Album v1.1030.720. Taken from a CAB file with fixed English Interface (Originally Chinese). You can choose which Folder to browse.
Here are another 4 Packages:
1. Newer version of HTC Home v2.1.105.722
2. Adobe Flash Lite v2.1 with the Cool HTC Animation from Schaps
3. Schaps' Advance Configuration v1.1
4. Palm Threaded SMS with fixed database folder. Instead of in Windows Directory, I patched the database to be stored on 'My Documents' folder for easy backup. You need to rename your backup SMS data from 'PalmMsgv001' to 'Palm01' and copy it to 'My Documents' folder.
Another 4 Packages
1. KeepAlive is a very old freeware from WinCE days. It prevents your PPC from turning Off. It's very usefull when you need to let you device on all the time.
2. PowerOff is another old freeware from Scott Seligman. It just shows a tiny PowerOff buttons at the Today Screen.
3. O2 Smart Text is also taken from O2 Life. It's just another thumb inputs with T9 capability. Good for One-Handed Operation
4. Picsel PDF Viewer. Taken from PPCGeeks. A superb PDF viewer compared to Adobe offering.
I downloaded all but I couldn't install even a single one.
These are not cab files nor installation .exe files nor a folder placed in the machine to run off with.
What are they? If these are for ROM cooking only then they are outside what most of us want to deal with.
These are OEM packages for ROM cooking and since this is the upgrading forum its the right place for things like this to be posted (IMO).
I personally wouldn't mind a separate forum for cooking, as some of the questions here are rather 'off topic' from ROM upgrading (flashing) or cooking, since installing an application is not an UPGRADE in any sense of the word...
Until then, it seems like this is the right place for this...
Thanks for your contributions [email protected]...
wow...a package for palmsms...hopefully it works.
Thanks for the packages! Am sure some cookers will find these handy!
how to benefit from thsoe if you are not a cook?
Hello,
a lot of thsoe packages look really useful, but, noby uses them so far in the offical release ROMs.
Cooking your ownROM still sounds intimidaing to me (and mybe others), so is there an easy to get thsoe as cab files, or is it posible to cook a delta ROM just adding those pakcages to one of the release ROMS?
Thanks
Juju
As requested by you here or via PM. Here are the CAB files for the OEM packages.
The 3G Battery Level will replace a system file. So you need to install Certificate CAB to allow the installation.
For Keep Alive, PowerOff, Advance Configuration, just copy the execute file to your Kaiser. No installation is needed.
HTC Home & Album CABs are widely available so I won't post them again. To change the HTC Album to English menu (from Chinese) you need to copy the 'RFileShell.dll' from Resco Explorer english Version.
Enjoy!
There is another nice application called O2 Theme which works well with kaiser. This is the WM6 version of O2 Plus. To learn about this, you can go to this thread I posted in Athena board:

Subject: M8 help hint
hello developers
your product M8 is very good!
one more idea, to improve usability:
make an option to let keyboard appear from top of screen, till the middle.
the reason is: some applications have text input field at the bottom, but doesn't recognize keyboard allocated this place. and doesn't redraw it's input field higher (on the top of new appeared keyboard), so application text input field becoming invisible until the end of input.
another solution on same problem:
make your keyboard application it's own temporary input window on top of keyboard.
(it may optionally include increased font size for better visibility on street)
will be waiting for your reply, and a new version
thanks
now, let's wait for new release of it (under name of O2 or standalone M8)
Palm Threaded SMS changed database folder

. . .
4. Palm Threaded SMS with fixed database folder. Instead of in Windows Directory, I patched the database to be stored on 'My Documents' folder for easy backup. You need to rename your backup SMS data from 'PalmMsgv001' to 'Palm01' and copy it to 'My Documents' folder.

I guess this is somewhat helpful because it's easier to back up the My Documents folder than find PalmMsgv001 in \Windows and back that up.
However, I hardly ever put anything into \My Documents because of the chance of forgetting about backing it up before flashing a new ROM. Hopefully someday we'll see a Threaded Messaging app that has more options - like save folder, and font size (the font is so tiny!). That's why I liked TxtMan - but it crashes too often, and isn't completely integrated into the Windows messaging system.
if someone could fix palm to work on the kaiser thatd be fabalous.. i know im jumping off topic but im willing to offer up $25.00!

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)
Great start to the thread. Lets keep it up to date.

a good way to search the site without using the built in search, which is a bit shakey, is use google advanced specific to the site.

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!
Thanks,
