Hey,
I am personally just bursting with excitement over the possibility of getting WM6 on my tornado, even though (like most folks) I doubt that I have any ability to contribute technically to the effort. So, just to get my ideas out, without cluttering the "Official WM6 thread", I started this one. This is so people who really know what they are doing don't have to screw with the clutter, unless they want to.
So, my first hope for the new ROM--I doubt that there could have been much improvement to crappy Windows Media Player, so my suggestion is that that be removed, and replaced with TCPMP.
Why not customize instalation
Sorry about my english, but why not a customize instalation ?
Like WINDOWS, you can choose in advance what aplication you want, or similar thing, like, they can generate a lot of roms with english an other language in order to save space. I will only install the rom with english and spanish.
Also, I prefer that Pocket Office will be included in the rom that you are cocking.
Thanks
Ok, plan at the moment... English ONLY ROM with various language packs (including t9) that will be available as CABs for separate installation to save precious storage. The 'vanilla' ROM (no t9, no task manager, no office, no camera) only has around 19mb of storage to play with :S
Office will be available as a CAB, again to save space. WMP has been improved with support for the creating and saving of playlists on the device. TCPMP MAY be embedded depending on how many people prefer it over WMP.
As for other stuff, I'm open to ideas, it's really up to YOU how you want this ROM to work and what's in it (within reason of course )
BTW good idea to start a new thread for requests in the ROM (useful for saving clutter ) I'll link to this in my original post in 'The Official WM6 Thread'

TCMP only is a BAD IDEA!
Error post... disregard. Next post covers everything I wanted to say.
TCMP only is a BAD IDEA!
I love TCMP, but it can't replace WMP.
Yeah, TCMP is a better player for just about everything, but there are certain things that I still need to use WMP for.
For example, streaming media is a nightmare for me in TCMP because of certain proxy servers I use. WMP shares IE's proxy settings, so if IE can see the internet, WMP can, whereas TCMP can't.
Also, I've run across some weird files (high bitrate aac's) that froze TCMP, but WMP skips over the corrupted portion and keeps playing.
Yes, TCMP is great, but not at the cost of WMP. Please, don't take it out.
Personally, just install TCMP on a storage card, and everyone should be fine!
While we're on it...
You say that you're going to make office a .cab optional installation.
Interesting... Hey, this is a long shot, but is there any way we could try that with a WM5 device? I'm really just looking for office mobile, so if there was a way to extract that and make it work on wm5, that would be AMAZING.
I know, there's probably some propietary WM6-only stuff that would prevent it from working, but thought I would ask.
Ι think that there is no one here prefers WMP over TCPMP (or Core Player) but there is no reason include it in the rom. As you said the storage memory in Tornado is valuable and I like like your idea to give us language packs in seperate cab files. I only need English and Greek pack.
Also Office and Adobe LE have already ported from rom and work fine in storage card, so no need to be in rom.
keep on good work, can't wait!!
i believe that the applications that are to be put in the rom are the standard ones... cause like everyone has said memory is so valuable... and besides you can install tcmp to it anytime you want but you cant install wmp if you take it out... to say replace wmp with tcmp in my opinon is selfish...
oh and i would like to recommend to map the media buttons (Short_AP1-4.lnk's i think) like those on the imate sp5m,qtek8300 and t-mobile sda as default... most roms even the custom iphone dropped this... cause its a nice feature of the tornadoes... and if those arent the "would be" users preference its easy to remap it with something else but remapping it to a rom that dosent support it (like the c500 rom) is really hard... just my 2 cents...
I suppose there is a use for WMP...I do use it to play drm-protected (license only) wma files. but maybe coreplayer can get licenses? I suppose if we have to have wmp, tcpmp will stay on the storage card. no complaints.
I do hope that a2dp support exists in the new rom. That is something I can't live without.
With regards to the media player buttons...that would of course be different between 8310/sp5 and 8300/sp5m. It is easy enough to customise those in existing wm5 roms, but I wonder what version of tornado this rom is coming from?
Sorry for my poor english. Is it real to do that new rom will be unlocked passing over in silence? That will be handy to use. My opinion that there is no reason to include in rom those application that can be installable by the separete cab files. Every one can decide what to install by itself. I think there is no need to include in rom WML or pocket MSN, original file manager and task manager. Every one can decide what to use. Thanks.
good point lovetz... making them installable cabs would save alot of memory... and yes the file explorer from the rom does suck ends! maybe our chefs could do that...
and yes i hope they put in a2dp support!!! good bye wires!!!
I personally prefer a clean ROM with stable Radio version. Just put in all the default softwares that a typical WM6 device will have to make it 'real' and pure WM6. Then from there, users can choose what they want to install. Perhaps put some options so that softwares like File Explorer, WMP can be uninstalled from the Remove Programs part
Few updates for you
A2DP - built into the ROM already
Office for WM5 - HERE
WMP will be staying and TCPMP will be packaged as a CAB
Phil
Whether the FrameWork.NET will be built-in this rom? And what version if will be.
Completely agree with this opinion: a "clean and stable" standard WM6 ROM. Everything else goes to Storage Card. Thank you for a great job !

WM6 is using AKU3 and NETCF2, even if its not, now we have the option to install NETCF2 into storage card directly, just download the latest NETCF2 SP2 and choose to install at storage card
karhoe I already have this version of FW.NET on my SD. I'm interesting in this, koz i need more free space in new rom. Is it possible to remove this application from rom?
It's possible yeah but why would you want to? If I ripped it out of the ROM then I'd have to put in .NET CF 1.1 and you wouldn't save any space at all...
Phil
This will be incredible if I am able to load WM6 on my Tornado. I would have no problem sending a Paypal donation? Thanks for taking our suggestion on how to make this better and is awfully kind. My only question is whether there will be a Qtek 8300, Imate SP5m version and a Qtek 8310, Imate SP5 version also?
There will be a .zip with the relevant shortcuts for each model in it that you just need to unzip to the /Windows folder on your device...
As for paypal, I'll add a donation link when i get round to setting up a paypal account/remembering my password
Phil
If you remove .NETCF from rom, all can install it to SD by themselfs using cab file. This will free more space in rom. I'm about that this app. can be installed from separate cab file to the SD card, not to the main memory as if it be in rom.
I searched around and haven't seen a thread about this yet but I think we should look at the slowness of the plugin. I know that on my G4 which was OS flashed to Crossbow it's totally bogged down now. Seen some reports of others. Is this a memory leak or conflict or just a case of code needing to be optimized? I've tried a few different configs so far but can't get past it.
ive noticed the same thing about mine. mines a g3 and it was very fast before but now its slow as heck after i installed the plug in. im not sure how to fix it. just confirming the problem on another phone.
It's fine on my HTC Touch

Fine on my hermes too...
small lag on prophet,when i press the softkeys....But overall phone speed is ok!
Processors
Hermes has a 400mhz processor, so it should be ok on there!
However, I have a Wizard, which is only 200mhz, and it is absolutely crawling using this plugin!! But it's (as far as I know) the same processor as the Touch, so what is it that's causing it to run so slowly?

I think the problem is with the access to \windows\ folder, try to open the folder and see how many time it takes...
The only problem I have with that theory, is that I assume the HTC Touch doesn't run this slowly all the time, yet that has the same processor as the Wizard and must have the same amount of files in the Windows foler?
Hermes has a faster processor, and Prophet is probably similar in design to the Touch, so they might mask the problems a bit better than the Wizard I guess. But there must be some way of making it run faster!
Already done it.Without HTC Home Plugin 5- secs,with the plugin 10+... I don't use the weather item,so i'm going to delete the weather pics.... and i will post results...
Same thing...lag... BUT i hard resetted,then installed HTC Home Plugin,and it was running full speed!then installed the HTC Touch pad and lag again....
Lagging on wizard G3
I have a G3 wizard and I'm having an incredible slowdown (both reboot and executions)
I installed the Home plug, comm man, dial pad (directly after the flash) and then installed spb pocketplus and netfront! That's all..
I can access the /windows folder in +/-13 secs
I reverted to my previous backup without the new HTC apps, and WOW!
Windows folder shows up almost instantly. Everything is alot smoother than with the Touch today plugin. But it is uglier as well.
What ROM is everyone using? Has anyone installed this on faria or most beautiful?
I know on Crossbow it slows down with just the today plugin installed.
Homeplug disgustingly slow on prophet here (latest Pdaviet rom, 234mhz), ....And then after I put the touch dialler on as well....Ugh! ...
ended up having to keep soft resetting just to stop unwanted dialling from tapping!
Interesting about the windows folder as for me, xp is taking forever to open this folder too. Looks like a hard reset is due....then I'll try again

In fact, it seems every Touch application (dialer, htc home plugin, maybe even the sound manager?) slows the device a factor, but the home plugin is the worst.
I played with installing and uninstalling them after a hard reset. I agree it seems like the fuller the \Windows folder, the slower the device, but indeed that makes no sense.
Using Faria's latest, err, lets call it "10.1.0.811 WWE" on my Wizard. XM6?

it has tons of pngs that it loads into the /window folder which lead to the explorer taking a lonfg time to open it
Just wanna report the same slowness on my MDA Vario [email protected] wonderfull XM6. But the looks are great, the slowlyness sucks. So does this mean that the plugins have to be optimized or can it be done through the registry?
After hard-reset I installed Dialer, and the phone was sluggish again, even without the today homeplug...
I guess it also has something to do, like already was said, with the graphical aspect of it. Many png's in the windows folder which are loaded for displaying everything that nice.
will one of you see if chabging the attributes of the png (to hidden,system,...) will change anything?

My windows folder is taking 31 sec to load up. I made all png files (about 1.4 meg worth) both hidden and system. Windows folder still takes 30 seconds to load. General responsiveness of the device did seem to get faster but I can't tell if it's that or the fact I flashed the official MS WM6 rom. Seems like since the plugin still references them it's taking up resources. Any way we can pack those into the plugin exe or would placing these in rom or extended rom speed up the process?
The plugin with official wm6 seems faster then xm6. Not talking smack, just an observation. I can't try NBD 7.0 since it won't flash properly but I've heard that's the fastest w/ plugin so far.
Help me out guys. Tell me if it's a good idea to install a fresh WM6.0 ROM into my JASJAR with no extras at all and then install only the software i want?
If so, please tell me where to download an uncooked/unmodded version of WM6!!
Thx!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341510
Thx bro ... i'll get back to you as soon as the ROM is downloaded!
also, look around, and keep a watch for "Vanilla" ROMs, these are the ones that only have the system core, and some essential software, without which the system would be pretty crippled.
Beasty is going to release a new Vanilla edition of the Beasty&Leo Amalgam ROM, so far the best one
I've tried almost all of ROMs available here - "Mo3ulla CE OS: 5.2.1933 Build: 18533.0.7.0 [v1] extreme fast vanilla" is THE BEST (for my UNI with all soft I use). Thank you Mo3ulla.
There is one small problem with Cyberon Voice Speed Dial - after I push the button activating the program it does not wait for voice tag but starts dialing itself any number from Contacts list.
Anyway not using voice speed dialing - I haven't found better ROM for me
Two Thumz Up!!
I've updated my JASJAR with your Windows Mobile 6.0 (CE OS 5.2.1933 Build 18533.0.7.0 ROM 2.11.09 G4M EROM Unknown RADIO 1.18.00), installed the Broadcomm Bluetooth Stack and updated the WiFi service.
Everything is as beautiful and fast as can be expected. Really a great great ROM.
I do have some minor problems though, i think you can help:
1) I need to change the hard keyboard from Russian to English and don't know how to edit the registry on my JASJAR. Could you help me out with this?
2) I need to change the bootscreen ... WoW really isn't my thing I tried editing the welcomehead.192.png file but it isn't letting me update it. Any recommendations?
3) I need to remove the Alt-Tab application and Solitaire. How do i go about doing that?
4) After installing BroadComm BT Stack and WiFi service, i've got only 29 MB storage memory and 21 MB program memory left. Is that how it's supposed to be?
Out of curiosity (and no offense, really!! the ROM is the best i've seen so far), are you planning to update this ROM with all the above mentioned stuff fixed?
Thanks again for everything!
1.later will be CAB who will returning registry to original WWE state.install RESCO EXPLORER and RESCO REGISTRY PLUGIN to edit this settings manually
2.download this http://rapidshare.com/files/69538019/welcomehead.rar.html ..copy it via active sync
3 Alt-Tab and Solitaire.is very little apps.. ..I see no point in their Disposal..
just simply remove links to it in your start menu
\windows\startmenu\programs
4// its normal ..rom cleaning does not affect on storage memory size.. but its seriously increasing speed
ps.... about voice commander ... install version 2.0 it runs on it without any problem
Great stuff, man!
1) Sorry for the noob question. I downloaded CERegEdit later that day and fixed the hard keyboard. The CAB will still be greatly awaited!
2) The rar extraction idea was great and worked perfectly!
3) Again, sorry for the noobness asking to delete these apps. Removing them from Windows->StartMenu->Programs works perfectly fine as well!
Thanks again!
My program memory keeps fluctuating between 18mb and 6mb. Why is this happening? Anything to do with how much stuff is in the RAM?!? :S
I decided to build some custom ROM based on your interest and taste.
I'll consider the flavor if I have a "number of requests" for the same and offcourse it should be manageable .
Cheers
thanx Tomal, it should be great,
i need a rom with empty installation,
example.
No softwares installed in it just WM6.1 with drivers
I need the Diamond DialPad like PDAVIET'sROM. Other, fast and a big FD
Thanks

Thanks a lot Tomal! as always doing the best for all of us!
My request would be a ROM including this:
HTC home without freezing and wheather update working
WM7 theme
Advance config
The best speed as possible!!!
Messenger latest version without windows live
Office mobile
Some finger friendly keyboard
Opera the newest
A nice comm manager
TCPM
The minimal quantity of programs to run well (No games, search, help,
And I think this is not possible but you are the magician: A way to have 850mhz band to connect to 3G (As in Mexico is the band used for 3G)
Thanks a lot!
Cheers
Wow Tomal, that's very considerate of you. I'm sure you're now going to get as many flavours as there are replies!!
I love your v8.0 ROM. I think the only thing I add to your ROM is PocketCM (which I believe can't be added because of updating etc) and GPRS programs (Route66 etc).
However if I go into settings/system/about, I notice the memory differs (the ROM memory, not the free stuff). Why is that? Is is possible to make a ROM with more Memory?

Cool!
After loading your roms I usually add:
TouchFlo_v1.4.1 + FTouchFloConfig_v0.9 -> without any graphics, i use this to enable finger scroling in all windows apps, like file explorer, comboboxs, lists etc
BatteryStatusExt.1.05 -> i only select the second row (Indicators) to see in the home screen and in windows bar the cpu usage, to know if the universal is working or not , i would like an app that only puts in the windows bar the cpu usage and the ram available (Wasn't that good to have one of our light indicators flashing when our cpu reaches 100%? almost like our PCs with the disk light? This is possible, one program that set the SD card like a usb disk used the lights to show activity...)
PJC_HTCHome -> it's working 100% (including weather) just missing the media player...
SRS_WOWHD_ARM -> tweak universal sound rock/classic etc
I'm happy with the new Windows Media Player in 8.0
I'm not happy with the contact manager, Not finger friendly...
I'm not happy with image viewer... zoom and other iphone capabilities
Happy with TCPMP, Total Comander, WKTask Manager, RegistryEditor, Pocket RAR, Messenger, Adobe Reader, Comm Manager, Advanced Config, Performance, SD Settings, USB to PC, Office, Battery indicator in the top of the screen
WTF do we need Time Sync... doesn't ActiveSync does that??
I often install QuickMenu_en_2.7 but this should be a simpler program
JAVA!!!!
OPERA!!!!
Tweaker for the velocity vs memory problem -> app that sets the pda to work how we need when we need with a simple reboot - is this possible?? (Tweak those memory eating things that makes wm faster, way to choose if we now(via reboot) want more velocity or more ram...)
Video Call (One idea, since we can't have VC in wm6 why not use a rom from wm5 and add the latest things? I know some things come with windows, but we could have a wm5 rom up to date)
One thing I would ask too is a counter of the kbs that we use in gprs/umts, we have a time counter but we are not paying by time but by kbs... (and better better was a way to filter msn traffic since here in Portugal we have free messenger 8) )
I'm happy with the black theme, but yes it would be good to be able to change
All and all I would like a Rom with the least things in RAM but with all the minimum features installed or in cabs (installed if there are tweaks fot them)
The most important thing for me is to use the pda with fingers and without precision so i can use it while walking, riding the train etc
If i remember other thing i'll tell
French Rom plz
Hello Tomal,
First, thanx for your great ROMs
I think we are a lot wait ing for someone cooking a French WM6.1 ROM.
I hope it will be a reality one day ...
And Portuguese... Portugal Portuguese.. Never existed for universal :'(

I agree.. sorta.
a more vanilla ish rom with nothing except things like tie sync sd settings advanced config arcsoft mms..
that way people can add the things that they want after.. the things I listed are usually needed to set up the device. actully just mms and sd settings are really needed since cabs for everything else exist.. and arcsoft doesn't really like to be installed after the fact.

I also go for the fresh vanilla ROM witht he latest core.

I like the idea and your rom releases, maybe you could improve 7.7 and make 7.8 Its a very good rom already, maybe just need some more enhancements posted at the 7.7 thread.
I want vanilla ROM with the latest Core.

I think it should continue its work with the vc in wm6.x for uni. You do would realize the dream of many.
Thank you.
Clean of any osftware rom :with flashdik , max mem, stable.
Only add SMS,BT,SDHC, cam softwares
And multilanguage if possible
I would be happy with 7.7 minus MyMobiler, WkTask Manager, Bubble Breaker, PIE, WMP and other similarly useless bits and pieces that take space. So yep, 7.7 or 7.8 in vanilla would do me fine. Got everything else in .CABs anyway - Opera, Conduits Player, TouchFlo, All Black .tsk, Diamond apps and now testing SKYPE that works for 8.0 on 7.7.
And, of course, Video Call is on my Christmas wishlist....
Thank You so much, Tomal, love your ROMs. (We need kiss emoticon!)
Hey everybody. First ever post.
When I think my phone hasn't been tweaked enough, I get on the internet and look for the coolest apps that I don't have and, of course, don't need (like all of you do too). But when I get on, I just find myself searching all sorts of dumb keywords and lots of the time I come up with nothing new.
So the purpose of this post is to get a feel for what apps you people are using for your phones.
Doing this might help other people looking to pimp their phone by making them aware of useful apps they might never hear of...Me personally, I love me some freeware, so don't worry, I'll be listing TONS of those! There's some detail for each app, so skim it to get what you need...
So, to kick things off, this is how I've got my gear setup.
My phone is a T-Mobile MDA: aka T-Mobile MDA Vario, Cingular 8125, i-mate K-JAM, QTEK 9100 and Dopod 838
OS: WM5
Mem: 44MB with ~6-8MB left
LAUNCHER: SPB Mobile Shell 2. I tried it, and it's the most robust, smooth, and well thought out launcher I've used. I think I'll be keeping this one. BUT. It's got built in weather that works, nice fluid 3D and flip animations, and built in contact manager & dialer. It has a $30 price tag -- you can find it cheaper -- SO if you can't get your hands on it, well, I do have alternatives.
***Also Try CLaunch (Fantastic: Free) TouchFlo (awesome - Free) and HTC Cube (free)***
MUSIC: I've now settled on Core Player Mobile. It's basically the 1.0+ version of the free TCPMP. This has support for MP3, WMV, WAV, Streams, Built in YouTube finder and player, and supports downloaded .FLV files (<<<XCLENT and hard to find support for that.)
***Also Try TCPMP (FREE: love it, make sure to get the plugin for .FLV support), also, Slide2Play (also free) is a very simple music player, but nice nonetheless.
Internet Radio: Mundu Radio (FREE) supports many streaming radio stations and anything that broadcasts in MP3 format.
***Also Try Pandora (when it comes out for your phone). This will also be free and a must-have***
Bluetooth Audio: If you want to play music from your phone to bluetooth headphones, without having to upgrade to Wm6, search for a A2DP cab. There are tons out there, get one.
Broswer: Lots of people like OperaMini, but it's too big to fit on my phone. BUT, Skyfire looks like it might be the winner of the browser wars soon...Currently I have the beta (0.85), but it is supremely faster than other browsers, supports FULL WEBSITE CONTENT (YES, FLASH -- I've been able to watch full movies on Watch-Movies.net) and it's free. They still have a few things to take care of on the buggy side such as not being able to enter data into Flash forms, but once it's taken care of, it should be near perfect.
Contact Dialer / Management: I've been rockin Photo Contacts Pro for a long time now. It has built in support for HUGE (fullscreen) contact photos that pop up when you receive a call, support for custom MP3 ringtones for each person and nice layouts.
***Also Try Face Contact (An iPhone style scrolling contact manager -- Not Free yet).***
File Explorer: Resco Explorer isn't free but it's great. Finger scrolling and inertia. Pretty cool. Plus has a trash can for you deleted files...Who knew?
***Also Try GS Finder. I highly, highly recommend GSFinder (Free).***
Weather: Weather Watcher Mobile (free) is small but powerful. It updates quickly and lists details about the day's weather, the week's weather, severe weather alerts and RADAR. Plus, you only have to update every couple of days because it stores all the downloaded info on your phone, so you don't have to connect to the net as much as you might with other weather apps. And again, it's free.
Image Viewer: Well, there aren't a lot of viewers out there that are flashy enough because I mean, windows has a photo viewer that works fine. Plain, but fine. But I suggest PocketCM ImageViewer. It has the billboarding, iPhone style, photo scrolling feature. It's way too sensitive right now in its beta stages, but once it's complete, it will be a must-have for the PPC world. (FREE)
System Utilities:
Xtra Buttons: AEBPlus (free) is the only one that I've needed. Turned 5 useful buttons into 15.
Overclocking: omapClock will overclock your PPC to perfection. Stock, my phone is 180mhz, but with omapClock I can safely overclock my phone to 276. Plus, I add a shortcut to the startup folder to start my machine off fast when I soft reset.
Registry Editors: If you're like, well, everybody on this site, you like tweaking your phone to the max. If you wanna get your hands dirty and get into that registry, i recommend Resco Registry Editor. It came with my Resco explorer lol, but it has a clean intuitive interface, great scrolling and quick search features.
***Also Try PHM Registry Editor (free)***
Space Saving & Cleaning: ClearTemp is a godsend. This will remove all of the stored cache and internet crap that is left on your phone and takes up space. Especially for us who test out all kinds of software and install/uninstall frequently, this will give you back whole Megs of storage space. Literally. I love it (Free).
Task Managers:
TaskFacade is cool. It actually shows screenshots of your currently running programs, lets you jump directly to them, and close them all in the blink of an eye. (FREE)
***Also try QuickMenu***
Do-It-Alls: QUickMenu CAN replace the traditional start menu with a more Windows Desktop feel. Instead of one big menu, Clicking the Programs arrow opens up a list of programs, folders show their contents, etc. Also, it is a built in task manager that will actually close your programs instead of letting it sit in the background.
***Also Try Pocket Toolman. Pocket Toolman will give you quick access to everything System -- soft reset, remove programs, blank screen, etc. It's fantastic.
iCrap: MusicID is the WM version of the ShazaM app for the iPhuz. Honestly, I never thought I'd use it but it has come in handy. It's small, and it works. That'll show those iPhags.
Games: Pocket Nester is a badass NES emulator. The best I've used. Plus, you can put all of your games on an SD card and it runs perfectly smooth. hundreds of ROMS. (FREE)
So, this is some of the stuff on my gear that makes it boss. And I know I'm missing some stuff too, and that's where you fine folks come in. So my people, what're you rockin?
There is a list at the top of the page in Q&A (its stikied)
Cool I found it, thanks.
clear temp
i need to get some storage space open, and i DLd clear temp cab, but i'm terrified to install it, as the first posts at ppcfreewaredownload site are people saying when they installed it, it reformatted their entire phone. Any tips? thanks.
does that shazam app just use data ? i ask because i know there is a mumber you can call for 50p a time but if that app only uses data it would come in handy

I use Clear Temp a lot, and have installed it via a cab many time's with no issues (WM6.1).
