Base: Hybrid Bastard Son of ELF 2.26 and 2.20 VodaFone Kaiser Sys Files, Diamond 20273 XIP (TNX To Ameets XIP.Bin and correct Tutorial if you have patience)
Well it took some time and a couple of hundred Flashes.
But i wanted to make something no one has ever seen before.
And after seeing Schapps new Project and some old app called MortButtons. I thought, hey i can do something like that. And there was some more stuff that i wanted to try out, to extend how a rom is cooked.
So before the final version of the new Surface Rom, which will be differently skinned and maybe lose some apps or gain some.
Welcome to what i have carefully named Project ELFOLUTION.
Install Network Wizard SD before flashing

Yes it has a seperate script to configure Long_Presses. (Andvanced Config doesn't pick up on that tweak)
No the phone does not freeze when you press the power Button once, yaddah Ya.
Oh and i haven't tested it but Keyboard should not have space bar issue.
As now the Further Skinning Goes into Development, i though i might as well show of Mort Menu with a few different skins.

And people remember Doctor Mort made these Menu's a few years ago, before the whole Touch Feely Thningie
And there's Skins for the Buttons to

I'll Post the packages for the skins included in the Official Mort Buttons release.
Oh and don't go installing the cab over the rom installation.
I'll make specific Cab files not to screw up the configuration with eventual updates.
And hopefully this will encourage people to submit some more Skins to

hehe, looks like noonski already beat me to the screenshot. but wait there is a little hidden magic behind those various wallpapers in each screenshot above....and so these jump in to give u some clues as to whats behind the touchy curtains of Mort Buttons Configuration
now this was ma favourite....the rom flash completion message is so unique... (big grin smiley)
Noonski Edit: The idea came from Ababrekar, and it actually really only shows after the Mort install script in the background finished.
Part of the cleanliness of the mort install script that runs in the background is what makes the Rom Still Fast despite being filled with Bloot.(if you can call it that.

nope, i had the same error, without connected to pc. but ma 2gb card was in. hehe. noonski' must be havin a final suprise as he mentioned final version had no bugs reported. but then again this mite be due to contacts missing from our end. cos i only sync my contacts after the customizations. hehehe
Noonski gonna try the new public beta next friday I think when i'm back from Paris

How do you mean HovacNL?
More Apps PFew Addict. And enjoy your trip.
The error does no harm.
It's the last line of Install script, so it does not mess with the previous lines
It was a test, i posted it to the development thread but not here.
The build i have now does not have that error.
And it's not sunday yet.... This was still a nightly.
I have decided on keeping one Menu Blank to be configured for your personal needs.
You know like favourite settings Extra installed Apps or Web shortcuts.
This version is missing a lot of the new icons fro the menu, It's a no worries build, well except for that Diamond Keyboard. (haven't had the time to do the research on Gullum's Diamond Keyboard.
Ah well at least opening HTC Album from Camera works. (Go, HTCTouchP for that Camera)
Hey Noonski Awesome
My latest release is on Diamon 20273 XIP. It is even more stable Can you PM me the SPC password, the server address and login details too? (Formatted my PC so lost everything) I'll up the XIP on server
You left the double slash in WriteFile, so the error

The Sys files hold most of the core applications you always see.
These rarily get updated that much and (when was the last time the calander changed?)
Changed are so small and unnoticeable in SYS that upgrading is not worth it.
The XIP however holds some of the most important files that Windows CE run on. NK.exe Device.exe and some others. But these are the parts you don't mess around with and between new builds most changes occur in these files.
As for OEM files again these are rarily updated like the SYS, but since most HTC applications are in this section you will find that more files get updated in the OEM files.
Also using full SYS and OEM from a VGA device even if it's newer isn't the best way to go. Yes it will work. But most resource files like .DLL carry extra Graphics for that higher resolution. Yes they also hold regular QGVA graphics, so they will work.
The files themselves just for this reason are bigger. And since the files hold more information, in microseconds it will still take longer to read through the file, and it might take a bit more memory remembering and storing the used Resource from these files.
But the XIP section is as far as i understand resolution independent.
There's a lot we can do in OEM and SYS to squeeze performance but there's not a lot to tweak in XIP as this quickly becomes system critical.
Just try to kill device.exe or nk.exe in a good taskmanager, you'll see how important it is
But this is just what i know (think) globally.
got it, thankx for the nice explanation. now i m impressed to try new builds

Screenshots ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Euhm, it's not skinned yet that's why it's a unskinned public preview.
The skinner ran of with a Playmate to Hawai
It's currently running Triple Darkness Skin.
Beside the whole interface adepts to whatever Theme you use.
I believe there's a screenshot fanaddict that will post a few screens. Or i will make some new ones later in the night.
Maybe ayyu3m will make a few screenshots of all the update Menu's and home screen with his favorite personal theme. (diamond Theme does not fit with HTCHome and BTstatus at that spot.)
Or better yet why don't some of you post your Fav Themes?
how can i improve the communication manager a bit? it shows only 3 buttons. & advanced configuration tool also didnt help.
& i more thing after opening the bluetooth explorer the warning is shown in some language other than english.
nice rom anywez........
Noonski Edit: Question added to Future FAQ
Commmanager functions will move to the Endkey which isn't finished yet.
(Was planning to do that after finishing this build)
So it might be i will have to switch to 6 button commanager in final version.
It was sort of a Proof of Concept that even Commanager can be integrated into the menu system.
Basicly the new Endky Commanager will be nothing more then 24 different version of the same menu and 24 scripts to control them.
Or maybe if i'm lucky i only need 24 scripts.
Button runs script, Script starts service, Script renames menu (or writes next menu from thin air) then restarts the newly renamed/created menu with the ON/OF State. As you can see i'm not a programmer as this could propably be done differently.
Would be even nicer if Mort Buttons would get additional function to Show Up or Down state of a button depending on a registry key.
(hard work for Mort less for me )
So depending on how long final skinning is going to take i might even have it finished.
Yup Bluetooth explorer need to replace the MUI file, good find, easy fix, This was the version i used from The Piko Crew which will be doing the german version. I have WWE version in stock Added to To Do.
Also the Commmanager used is the actuall Windows Mobile Commmanager, it's always been in the Roms as wrlmgr.exe (wonder why some people don't take it out if they are using HTC commmanager)

Suweeeeet .. downloading now .. will post after flashing it my elfin tomorrow.
just flashed it, looks great love the cube!
Noonski Edit: Put Similar Question and A into Future FAQ
Yeah i removed the cube animations from the Menu, but it seams you read up a bit and found the way to change this.
(Cube animation sometimes takes a few seconds to start because it has to to more calculations)
Also one of the reasons i chose to start Taskmanager is because it confronts a user with the fact that Stuff is already running before you start more apps. The only thing that BTstatus X button is good for now is to controll the Long Tapp of X button to close
Don't mind the memory i had all the apps open.
Hey ayyu3m, how's it looking when you set it to use you Che Backdrop?
flashed it.. looks great only when I push start, programs all is empty....start, settings is OK.... how come

Great Job NTS, Fast for sure. One small item. You have the older "Windows Live" still on, no big deal, I just updated it. You really outdone yourself with the cingular NTS settings cab. After I install that, I have a 5 bar salute. and that is on any rom that I have flashed.
looks good stuff! lets try
i have only one problem at now with this rom.
when i try to install a new keybddr.dll for correct my keyboard layout.
all my hard buttons stop to work, my screen stop to turn when the hard keyboard is open, and all the shortcutes on start menu begins with a "&"
hey looks awesome will download now.
One question though what are the "Standard NTS Rom Tweaks"? Meaning what reg tweaks are built in and what have been left out but are still recomended.
Oh and one more thing whats the page memory on this rom??
Anyway still want to thank Nottoosmart for all his hard work in releasing this rom.

But other than that I love everything ESPECIALLY tetris. Thats like the best part
Hi,
Does it have this problem?
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.
This is making me nuts, i cannot afford to miss call notifications
The only roms without this problems are TNT based so far...

In short, no. The camera hardware is still 1.3MP.
3.0 refers to the version of the Camera software.

Ok, WHAT???? I have no idea about this. This is the first time ive heard of anyone having to load a DLL to correct Keyboard layout. Have you check to see what the code is for reg to make it have your correct layout. I know for US its 0409. Check to see if Brazil has one. It might be easier and may not have the aweful effect you are having with the ROM

You need to make sure your Carrier settings are setup correctly. You would be the first that would not be able to do that on a rom I have released.

Thnx man your the best. I am flashing now to try it out.
One question though have you ever used PointUI ? I have downloaded it n tried using it myself and really like the style and simplicity of it. Is there anyway u can cook it into any future releases n kinda somehow make it the only thing shown without all the regular today screen and such. Ofcourse only after they figure out how to get the hardware buttons working though. But still its something I hope u keep in mind for future ideas
Thanks again
Another download link or mirror apart from rapidshare wud be highly helpful and appreciated.Cud plz someone upload to any other site for download.
Thanks
Cheers !
Welcome to my little ROM - which I'm calling Mobile Vista. Why this name? Well, like Vista WM6.1 the newest OS available from MicroSoft at the moment, and some people say it's buggy but I love it and found it very stable!
Firstly, thank you very much to EVERYONE on this forum, especially to those who've posted in this thread and sent comments. I've taken bits for my ROM from pretty much everywhere and everyone, so I can't list everyone whose work I'm using (as I simply don't remember who I got most of it from). If anyone in particular feels annoyed that I've used their work, please PM me and I'll either remove it or credit you accordingly (your choice).
Please take the time to read ALL of this post and post 2. There are a few things I've worked hard on including that I haven't seen anywhere else.
Why did I release a ROM?
I know I'm not the greatest chef (by a long way) but there wasn't anything out there that was JUST the way I wanted it. I loved parts of most ROMs, but each one had something missing, or something I didn't want, so I set about adding/removing the bits myself. I've ended up with a ROM that I like and so I thought I'd share it. I know lots of you will dismiss it, it will never be as good or popular as Duttys, Schaps, Slueth, etc, but if one other person uses it then it was worth the time uploading and sharing it!
Onto the ROM itself:
It started life as Slueth's WM6.1 v3.0, but I've made a LOT of changes since then - ripping bits out, adding bits in, it's been a blast!

Updated Today Agenda to newest version
Updated Dotfred's Task Manager to newest version
Removed Coreplayer as newer version due out very shortly (so one in ROM would be wasted space when new version comes out)
Changed button settings to reflect reflect of MS VC
Changed sound notifications for SMS, MMS and e-mail to reflect removal of MS VC
Added a couple of new games - Patience and Tangled Bugs
Still to Do
Still a couple of things I can't seem to get to set from flash/hard reset. Once changed, they stay changed, just can't find a way of getting them to start that way:
Even though all the Regional Settings are set to English UK - the option in Settings still shows the default of English US
Can't get the SIP keyboard to start with "Use gestures for the following keys" selected
Screen text size always starts at position 3, I prefer 2
BatteryStatus always starts without the extra lines/indicators showing. I recommend (in the options) ticking everything on page 1, then "Show
more indicators", "Show Powerdrain", "Show WiFi rows", and "Automatically Hide WiFi rows". That's the setup in the screenshots.
Would love to change the Accuweather IE Favourite (which I never use) to XDA-Developers PDA forum, but I can't find where to in my kitchen
Getting rid of customer feedback! I know it goes once you click "no", but can we stop it in the first place?!?
If anyone knows of the way to set any of these within the ROM so they don't have to be done post-flashing, please let me know as they're bugging me!
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and if you have any comments or suggestions please feel free to post them - any feedback greatly appreciated.

FAQ and other details
Please ensure you use a WM6.1 compatible Radio with this ROM I use 1.64.08.21 which works fine for T-Mobile UK. Could everyone else please post which Radio ROM and Network they find works so we can build up a list of what works andwhat doesn't?
Version 1.1 was published at post 82. Anything before that is v1, anything after is v1.1 unless the post says otherwise
New to this?
There's no shame in being new! Welcome. To flash a ROM:
- Make sure you have Hard SPL installed first. If you haven't DO IT NOW, really or else your phone may well break.
- Download the ROM (links in post 1)
- Attach phone to PC via cable and make sure Activesync fires up and connects
- Unpack your ROM download, and run the RUU program
- Follow the on-screen prompts
- Wait nervously
- When it's finished flashing, the phone will take a while starting up - this is normal
- When you get to the Align Screen bit, Hard Reset the phone (important)
- Now follow the start-up screens until the phone reboots
- If you haven't already, make sure you've got a WM6.1 compatible Radio installed. If you don't, you'll experience problems with sound (not just in a call), the camera and your legs will probably drop off too!
- When you've got the ROM installed and the right radio installed, you're off and running!
Issues
1 ) - (Thanks to Ionutz6 for another great spot)
Even though I've updated to the newest version, Today Agenda still appears to crash if you access the options through Start > Today > Items > Today Agenda > Options. As a work around, please tap and hold on Today Agenda on the Today screen, and select Options from the context menu. Does anyone have a suggestion for a Today plug-in calendar that does everything Today Agenda does but doesn't crash?
2) - One or two people have found the phone is in Flight Mode immediately after you flash. If your signal strength stays with the cross, check the Comm Manager to turn Flight Mode off.
3) - (Thanks to cgjones for this spot)
Video calling doesn't work. The button shows in the dialer, but pressing the button just initiates a voice call rather than a video one.
FAQ
Why doesn't this include HTC Home or the Cube?
HTC Home is out because it takes up half the Today screen, and FTouchflo interferes with Transcriber, so the Cube went out in favour of handwriting recognition. Everything in this ROM is there because I use it, or like it, or think it's cool boasting material down the pub! If you think something else deserves to be in, suggest it - I can always make another version with it in if I want!
Why do you duplicate your links in Start Menu into the Programs folders too?
I like it that way! I've got the most used ones (for me) directly under Start, then everything inside Programs. To me, that's just the way it should work - like on your PC, pinning something to the Start menu doesn't remove it from the All Programs list.
Other ROMs have more free memory!
That's because there's quite a bit built into this ROM, and because there's probably lots of files i could safely remove to slim it down. Unfortunately I don't know what 95% of the files under Windows do, so I can't tell which ones can be removed and which can't. If you notice one that can be removed, please mention it here and I'll clean it out for version 2.
I think your ROMs rubbish!
Fair enough, I like it and that was the only reason I built it. May I suggest trying Dutty's or Slueth's as a mainstream alternative (although every ROM on here is great these days). Alternatively, grab yourself a kitchen and make your own ROM - it's great fun!
Looks Good..
Just flashed duttys latest, but will remmber this one..
I like the way you have tomtom and MSVC already installed - time saver.. Thanks
So, you are allow to cook M$ Voice Command in a ROM? I think M$ is going to come get you for that!
I thought long and hard about this

Good question. I took the view that MS VC 1.6 is available in several other ROMs and has been floating around here in cab and OEM for a while - just the US version rather than the UK one. I'd be quite happy using the US one, but it doesn't seem to recognise my voice as well as the UK version.
I've tried to avoid anything that might be warez, so you can't use Coreplayer without having a valid serial (which you get by buying the software!) and no maps come with TomTom (just like the other ROMs with it installed). If the mods decide my ROM does fall on the wrong side of the line, then I'll remove it immediately from these pages.
Thanks for the replies guys, it's nice to try to give a tiny something back to the community I've got so much from!

Thanks Duncstar! I'm really glad my first comment was positive, I was half expecting just a load of flaming as I pressed the "Submit Thread" button!
If VC doesn't come pre-installed on a production Kaiser ROM somewhere then it's warez unless you have a sanctioned trial version installed. What other ROMs include this?
Nice ROM btw
i second that comment on alreay havingtomtom and ms voice command already in there i believe faria a mod here use to cook roms with voice command already included! in the hermes forum!
I'm downloading it now b4 the fuzz does decide to come.. But nah, It looks really good, and mmmmm games. I probally install it Fri or Sat, but have you seen any problems with it? Most importantly, have you tried to install Blackberry Connect, and do I need to do anything with it? I am really feeling Sleuth's 3.0, But will try yours this wknd.. Congratulations on it
If anyone flames a cook, send them my direction. If they dont like the food, then go to a different diner.
BTW, nice look. Very well thought out. I can tell you took your time. D/L as we speak.

Bugger! I know there's OEMs for VC in Alex's ROM kitchen (tried to use it to convert it to UK) and a quick search shows there are other ROMs with it installed (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356683&highlight=voicecommand , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352203&highlight=voice+command , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332737&highlight=msvoicecommand ). I haven't tried installing each of these ROMs to see if their version is UK or US, but would I actually need to find one with the UK VC on it for this ROM to stand?
Surely we're not allowed to discriminate against this ROM just because it's accent is different to the others? Doesn't that breach the European Human Rights Act?
Slueth, I am happy to go with your judgement. I'd LOVE to be able to offer others my ROM (in case they find it useful) but I don't want to bring this site into disrepute. I'm going to have to go to bed now (got to be in work in 6 hours!) but if you feel it's got to go, please feel free to delete the download links from the first post.
Thanks.

Never used Blackberry so can't comment on if it works or not. I know I haven't done anything to MAKE it work. Could the first one to try (if the ROM isn't deemed warez and removed) please post the result and I'll pop it in the second post? Thanks.
I'll bring the VC issue up in the "inquisitors" (moderators) section and see what they think.
wow so could
this is the only cooked rom so far that works with voice command announcing incoming calls and messages from the units speaker ,i dont do bluetooth so i am super happy ccamper thanks bro for sharing your cooking!
at least in my case, this rom is not working with new WM6.1 ROM 1.64.08.21, the phone stays off. im trying the 1.64.06.04 right now. maybe it would be fine if ConfusedStu can reccomend a radio ROM for best experience with his ROM.
EDIT: My bad, the phone is default set to OFF, you need to turn it ON in the comm manager in order to work! I thought my radio is the problem... My oh my, this flashing...
Looks good...
I like it.. I will be playing around with it some more.. but odd thing has happened so far.
When i started the phone after the update it vibrated for about 3 min until I went into the sounds and pressed a selection.
I now find that I have no sounds at all - ie if I have the volume set to whatever level I get no sounds (and I have tried selecting other ringtones to see if that was the problem)
Any suggestions?
Cheers

do a hard-reset (keep both soft keys pressed and do a soft-reset, follow instructions). it is usually a good rule of thumb to do a hard-reset right after installing a new ROM, as you may have found out in some of the chef posts around here...
Still no luck

Good thoughts - I did try this and still have no luck - I did work out what the vibration at the start was - I had a voicemail notification that was activating - and that was the vibration.
Further tests hav found this:
1. Media player shows that it is playing - but with no sound.
2. Ringtones vibrate - but no sound.
3. Speakerphone works fine in a call - I can hear the caller and the caller can hear me.
*shrugs* not sure what the issue is..

[ROM][BETA]Wizard M2D Brushed 6.1[RE-OPENED]
After reading just yesterday after reading + Que PPC being robbed of his Wizard and Money.
I decided to add That little security utility that send you a SMS when the sim gets Switched.
Well it was planned to late.
While Putting on some new shoes my Wizard got stolen out of my Jacket.
Bringing this Project to an early end.
%#[email protected]&*
Or.... maybe this is a good time to start something i have been wanted to experiment and try for a long time..
An Open ROM.
I won't be able to test but still there's a lot that i can do.
I'm really sorry but it looks like some one else will need to make a fully functioning Wizard Rom with M2D.
UPDATE:
Propably the weirdest request you have seen on XDA
I want to by some one a little Present.
And i'm asking for a small donation to do so.
Why? Because that someone found my Wizard Broken And Battered (still working after putting back the battery under a bridge.
I told him how important this particular phone was, and that i would try to do something nice to make it up to him for being a good normal Person that does what is normal.(the right thing)
Thanks

For your Donations.
50€, maybe i'll even get myself a little present.
So good news Project is re-opened.
Also Special Thanks to Ather90 for helping out with the BugFixes (Really helps with getting some more sleep )
And in now particular order Thanks to, VanDenBos, Gullum, NFSFAN, Ababrekar, DSIXDA, HTCTOUCHXP, HavocNL, AbinBasu, VetVito, Boto, SWiftblade, PKoper, Piranha, Bereda, Cmonex, POF, MrBarvian, Anichillus, It's right, Dfereira, the list can go on and on and on, etc etc etc, Nothing would be possible without great XDA users.
Well Here I Am, back home. Now I don’t like to hurry when doing something, and I do like the concept of a long testing run with good users.
It’s been two years (at least) since I made a Wizard rom, and it will be my first public one.
The Rom is now into the Beta Fase, It's Useable.
It’s based on J.vd.Spanks Kitchen Oem Packs.
Now I don’t like just throwing my own Oem Packages into a kitchen.
I like to let each Package go through my hands again as I like to check everything by hand again and again.
Main Goals:
1.Utilize Ext_Rom as part of the actual Device instead of just Autorun Install
2.Incorporate some MortCooking into the Rom
3.Incorporate specifically Customized MortButtons interface for Wizard.
This Alpha only has the first part incorporated.
It is running Total Commander from Ext_Rom, WMP skin from Ext Rom, MP3Trimmer skin from Ext Rom and Volume Control from Ext_Rom.
As far as I know I haven’t seen this being done yet (seams some are doing it, Rock On), why waste 10 MB of space if you can use it for files that would otherwise fill and slow down your device and Windows folder?
Still a lot of work to do, and I would like to have a social life next to my Moderating Dutties here and There.
Enjoy,

This is an early Alpha (sort of like a Proof OF Concept) version.
It’s based on J.vd.Spanks Kitchen Oem Packs.
Now I don’t like just throwing my own Oem Packages into a kitchen.
I like to let each Package go through my hands again as I like to check everything by hand again and again.
Main Goals:
1.[FONT="] [/FONT]Utilize Ext_Rom as part of the actual Device instead of just Autorun Install
2.[FONT="] [/FONT]Incorporate some MortCooking into the Rom
3.[FONT="] [/FONT]Incorporate specifically Customized MortButtons interface for Wizard.
This Alpha only has the first part incorporated.
It is running Total Commander from Ext_Rom, WMP skin from Ext Rom, MP3Trimmer skin from Ext Rom and Volume Control from Ext_Rom.
As far as I know I haven’t seen this being done yet, why waste 10 MB of space if you can use it for files that would otherwise fill and slow down your device and Windows folder?
Still a lot of work to do, and I would like to have a social life next to my Moderating Dutties here and There.
Enjoy,

I'm doing the same with my Prophet roms and you can actualy put lots of apps in the Ext_rom Audio Manager can run from extrom if you but all the files in there. So I will actualy do the same as you are doing with my next rom.. and if we get manila to work it should also be posible to have all graphics in ext_rom too.

Wizard for me is like starting over all over again.
First thing is to read up on why HTCHome isn't working correctly (version 2.1)
Ababrekar also has the exact files figured out that can run from different Directory in M2D, not al thought.
Tried S2P today in Ext rom but S2P like to create cache files where it's installed so that's a no go. But i will put it into a zip file then use Mort to install it into Program files instead of a Cab installation.
I already had three skins done for this, Commmanager, WMP skin and Volume Control (HTC Volume doesn't work here it kills volume control altogether)
G4 or G3 should not make a difference I only put the OS and Ext rom in the nbf file (first Mistake learned not to use capitals in 9b000000)
I have a G4, used to be G3 untill Good T-Mobile replaced the whole motherboard. A Colleague has a G3 so i have two test devices.

I don't know what happen but after wm6 start to be ported to Wizard, no one anymore use extended rom.
It's good see again extended rom be used with a good functionality.
The only problem that can exist, it's if anyone try to direct update from wm5 to your rom on a G4 deice, will get a corrupted extended rom that will drain like a hell the battery.
On this case it's necessary flash a clean extend rom after update to wm6 and then flash your rom again to get extended rom working.
About HTC home i have a explode version who work perfect on wizard, i need to try a lot of version to find this working version (btw that is the version on TNT).
If you want i can send you by PM, just inform me
Edit:
Already find the link that i send to it's right

Thanks, I just Sorted it out.
Learned my second lesson with HTCHome.
I was missing HTCUtil1.dll
1.5 didn't use it, and i didn't have it in my Regular OEM Package for 2.1, as i have so grown used HTCUtil1.dll always being in the oem that i didn't put it in my OEM Pack. So i don't mind Admitting my little Failures.
Third lesson, forgot that SDAutoRun only likes it with Autorun in windows folder, should check if Sleuth has anything on that Because it would be fun having the freedom to put AutoRun.exe where ever i want.
The first part of Autorun runs fine but then when it tries to execute SDAutorun.exe from Ext Rom it stalls.
Nice seeing HTCHome popping up again.
I can now switch to the version patched to get graphics from HTCHome folder. The put a Zip file with the graphics into the Ext Rom.
Use Mort to unzip the files into the HTCHome Subfolder inside Windows.
That should start cleaning out the windows folder some more.
**** i might start liking this to much again...
What a great device, Like being a little kid patching up his old bike to ride harder.
There's still enough files in there that don't mind working from outside of Windows.
I Always Flash from BootLoader, so i install from a virtual machine and do my paranoid routine. Put Device into Bootloader. Start RUU, Then close WSecSomething.exe & Rapimgr.exe, Connect Device, Flash. Old Habits, Die Hard.
It doesnt matter MEN!

Thanks for reply the G3 or G4 question i was sad cause my cable jejeje.
So downloading now V2 and test it tonight on my country GMT-6
holy crap! I gotta try this!
i'm finaly in home...
i will try it right now!
any bug i will report!
what base you are using?
Thanks
Tried it and it has a lot of potential. Look forward to future releases.
I really didn't find any bugs so far.
i already test here and look a good start.
touchflo is not working on contact screen. its craching.
Installed it tonight. Looks good and fast. Not much overhead (crap programs), which I like. I'll load my own stuff.
The only major problem that I have run into is with the Comm manager. When I turn on wifi (it connects), I cannot turn it off. Have to soft-reset to turn off.

Two tests here, Test with old Touchflo settings file or switch to other Contact App then RandomAccess altogether.
And trust me it's going to be messy for the coming time as i'll be bumping into loads of stuff that i have grown accustomed to work.
That's the reason i'm only posting the NBF file, it's for Flashing Junkies
Can We have some screens please? I will test it later ^^
Lol I tested it and is slow...
Bug with commanager ...
I can't open it...
How can you do this?????
ITS .19588??????? Why? if there is new builds?
It doesnt matter...Its great!!!!
The camera is awsome!!!! launched inside of pictures and videos app, works like a charm!!!!
No more diamond tryings this is Brushed Metal!?
Like the customizations on your hornets MR SVI..
Same issue for commmanager and is not mapped to hardware buttons even the camera. And the contacts dont be mapped to right softkey.
Lots of Memory... but I cant install all my stuff in EXT Rom... just the Pocket RAR b3. i think this is not for this use but will be great like in HTC Universal.
Speedy and stable.
Touch.lnk dont works on start/settings... In programs the cube is launched but no works... stucks! end hardbutton needed.
Nice Rom I'll try more and more... jejeje

We are working on the 3.0 Beta and release but I want to give you something new and stable to run while you are waiting. Have fun.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am giving you all a present by uploading the complete kitchen that builds Phoenix2.3.21109.2g...There are extra packages, tools for creating ext folders etc. Please make sure you read post 965 as it contains even more details that you need.
As always--thanks go to bepe and ervius, dark simpson and more for great tools, Anryl for great ports and mbv for getting me started on this in the first place.
Now to the details:
PhoenixBepeKitchen
http://www.sendspace.com/file/f3c83l
This is 155 MB so it is purely dedicated to Kaiser and only current packages.
This is the Phoenix 2.3.21109 Bepe Kitchen. You can make a rom without manila by renaming the EXT folder EXT.Manila and renaming the other EXT-no Manila folder EXT...then run the batch file. That will build you a rom. You can remove packages from the eXT folder and put them in parking to lighten the rom. I have included the tools you need to make ext packages in the tools\lynn tools folder. PM me for info and check

A note from Travito about PDC, the Phoenix Development Center, our base station for making Phoenix an "Open Source"-esque project, if you will:
----------------
Attention everyone!
As PHOENIX development continues, we're going to establish a command and collaboration center. We're opening this ROM up for EVERYONE'S input to make the BEST ROM YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE FOR THE HTC KAISER!
Join the Phoenix Development Center today!
bug reports will still be heard here, but they'll be SO MUCH EASIER to track if you also submit them in PDC. Each bug gets its OWN thread. please check to make sure your bug hasn't already been reported before submitting. We're also gathering Ideas for Phoenix III when 6.5 becomes useable.
PDC will help us better notify you, the user of ROM releases (I believe, It's something i'm going to look into more to come up with a good system) and it provides a better means of alerting our Beta Test team of builds. The advanced bug tracking capabilities, polls, etc will enable us to do what we've already strived to do by helping us see what the users and community want in the ROM. There's going to be a big resource bin chock full of CAB files and links to XDA threads and elsewhere to help you truly make the BEST of your phone.
PDC has a LIVE, open chat room as well, so we can strive to develop in real time and hear live input as we go along.
Join the Phoenix Development Center today!
click the link up there! ^^^ JOIN UP! It only takes a minute! (please use your XDA name to help us identify you)
Note to mods/whomever else that may be curious: this is not to detract or take away from XDA in any way shape or form. There will still be Phoenix Threads, PDC is aimed at streamlining the development backend of the ROM and for letting interested users participate in the development and testing and troubleshooting. We hope that this will be seen as fostering more activity in a Kaiser ROM section that is slowly becoming endangered as more new devices such as the Blackstone, Fuze, and etc. We hope that people will be inspired by this collaboration and learn how to create their own ROMs in the process using the many tools provided by the Kaiser community at XDA, and XDA is an invaluble resource to us all.

HELLO FIRST TIME FLASHERS, CLICK ME!
HardSPL 3.29 Recommended for non-iolite roms...Iolite please use 3.56hard2 by cmonex
Welcome to the future of Kaiser ROMs.
Credits / Props
Credit goes to MBvarian for SOLACE V2's RC's and porting the Omnia XIP and SYS. This got ParleyP interesting in cooking. ParleyP began his journey into cooking because of Solace and started publicly with Phoenix 1 and Omnia port. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=463284 for prior versions and information.
Credit goes of course to Travito for his countless hours testing, taking feedback reports, graphics work and troubleshooting.
Thanks to all the beta testers who endured almost nightly builds while we debugged this thing.
Also we'd like to thank Sakajati for the the original sleek black welcomehead.96 that became the basis for the new Phoenix welcome screen.
We thank JCKOTZE for the spectacular new M2D skin that brings everything together and for his permission to let Travito brand it with the Phoenix seal and font. For those of you who want a non-Phoenix-branded version, it is available at: http://cay720325.deviantart.com/art/Gradiant-theme-108988478
Introduction / Critical Details
This build is based on a port of 6.1 build 21109 done by Anryl. It is rumored to have the 6.5 kernel…but none of us has been able to confirm that. The build is very fast and stable. It uses the latest TI video drivers.
We also are pleased to release an Iolite port including footprints and all the gadgets of 20765 from Anryl as well.
It is pre-patched for custom weather using scotchua’s patched manila2d binary. This gives us a very stable, skinnable and customizable version of Manila.
Please report any feedback, good or bad, in the thread.
Important: Please make sure to hard reset before it customizes the first time. This seems to make all new bleeding edge roms more stable. Also if you are a flashaholic, you should flash with a stock HTC build then flash this build.
Here is a link to the latest htc 6.1 rom with radio etc: http://rapidshare.com/files/157469239/Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2.rar
Here is a link to the same rom without radio--this is the one I recommend you flash: http://www.mediafire.com/?kdztyyzjmkm
I noticed on my device it is more stable this way. First time flashers, please follow the link above and make sure have hard spl 3.29 or higher on your device.
Screenshots: (These aren't really in any particular order, they were a bit jumbled in the folder when I unzipped them and it took me long enough just to get them into one big image file, because I can't put more than 4 images in a post apparently.)
Now, without further adieu...
There are a few extra goodies like a cool action screen, and other items installed during customization for your use. If you like them, keep them. If not, they can be removed using the remove programs applet in the control panel.
S2U2 is Included by default but you have to manually activate s2u one time to get it to automatically work. If you want a newer unbranded version, see Travito's post below where he'll maintain a collection of cool CABs.

ATTENTION 2.014 USERS...Control Panel Customization Fix
Below you will see a control panel fix...this puts back into the control panel several applets that were inadvertently left out of the customization process when I fixed the symbol pad issue. Only 2.014 has this issue. Apply the cab below and soft reset.
Revised Phoenix Theme
This corrects an issue with the message bar being white with white text. Unzip and put it in your My Documents folder in the root of the device. Then you can apply it in settings/personal/home. You can then run glossy black bars to get the jet black bars back or leave them silver if you like it. This tsk is included in the rebuild--2.011 above.
TouchFlo Fix
This cab fixes the touchflo control panel. If you have Phoenix 2 downloaded before 2: 25 EST January 27, you can install this to fix the control panel issue. It is also included in 2.011 above.
FontSize Increase
This makes the menus finger friendly. Apply the cab and soft reset.
Sim PIN Fix
Install this cab to fix the missing keypad for the SIM pin then soft reset.
ACTIVE SYNCH---PLEASE READ--Links fixed
Active Sync issue is a known issue since windows mobile 5. There is a thread about how to fix this..but these two posts seem most applicable:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2623238&postcount=11
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2842860&postcount=27
dotfred's task manager is in the rom in the system tools folder. It is called reg manager. Also the bogus server information is in the rom on purpose. It stops you from having to do so many steps. The single most important thing you need to do is disable replog from notification on time changes. That is explained in the two posts above.
VibrateOnConnect CAB
This cab turns on the vibration when the phone connects. I built this because many of you like this. I personally turn this off but by popular demand here it is.
GS Finder--by request here is a link to the cab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=157385&d=1234662337

Parley,
Hate to ask this but.....I dowloaded this stock ROM and it was an .exe file. I have to flash from SD and usually change the .nbh file to KAISIMG - whats the process for flashing a .exe from SD? (Hopefully its not something obvious like just putting it in the root of the SD card )

Give me a few minutes. I'll pack up a kaisimg.nbh for you. No the exe won't work. Let me download it and unpack. I'll link it here and the first post because that rom has radio and everything. I'll get a stripped one with just the OS ready.
If you are in a hurry, just run the exe on your desktop. Look in the directory it creates. There you'll find the .nbh file there that you can rename and put in the root of your card. It will load up a radio, but the radio it loads is compatible with this rom so you can keep it if it works for you.

Thanks Parley - I use a MAC here.....I am patient as long as you dont mind doing it...?
Okay. This is bad ass.
One question only.
Its not 3G? Or is it just me trying to find something wrong with it?
Just kidding.
Disk Drive
Do you think, it is pointless to have Disk Drive option (USB to PC), when it is can not be used.
It's been so long since I've posted here, greetings to everyone and Trib.
I've cooked upa rom about a year ago that has been stable ever since. (WM 6.5.3 50.4 Storage, 20.00-22.00 Program Memory.)
But I've found it to be redundantly complicated.
Therefore, I wish to downgrade it to 6.1. Well, not downgrade it but upgrade in sense of simplicity.
I've downloaded the kitchen from SuperJustKitchen,( justkitchen(.)info/main/rokdownloads/ft2(.)php )which was the only I could find. And I'm going to build a 6.1 ROM, hoping I haven't forgotten how to do it
Since I i'll be constantly improving for the next 1-2 days, I would like opinions and ideas. =D
Edit: Thge SJK wasn't the same Kitchen that I used to work with =S, didn't even get it to build.
Go to my guide on cooking for qvga and there you'll fine my kitchen.
Download that and import a WM6.1 build.
Here is a list of WMBuilds
Hey, Trib still being a rockstar on these forums eh! =D
Um quick question, How will I know if the build is 6.1? Which is latest/Best build for 6.1??
I'm not really sure at this point, but anything before March 11, 2009 should be WM 6.1.
EDIT: I just looked at the list and there isn't a build on there from before the afore mentioned date.
I'll try to find you something to work with..
Ok, so I saw that 21xxx are the 6.1, i got those files, but I don't know how to make the kitchen from your guide, recognize it. The kitchen you have only has 21056, and 21054.
I got the 21057 (Latest one from the 21xxx). I'm not sure if I did it right. =/
Edit: Ok, I cooked a few ROMS but all were un-bootable. I used 21056 because 21057 wasn't being Nice =X
Maybe i build wrongly...
Do you have any 6.1 builds that i could learn from and see what I'm missing out.
(Goal of this: Stable, eXtremely light and fast with Manila 2D.)
I'm backing up my phone now and then i'll cook some 6.1 ROMs up and see what I come up with.
Whatever works, I will share..
Hey, I just cooked a decent ROM that seems to be fruitful. I'm currently testing it out, the only ting i worry is the Eye-candy. It's not as I expected. Umm, is there a way to make it look any better? If not then I'll use PointUI or Throttle Launcher. =D
I am glad that it is working for you now. I actually have never tried using a 6.1 Build and mixed it with 'eye-candy.'
You've given me food for thought, so thank you
Really?? I feel honored to helped the one who helped me in everything related to ROM development.
Hmm, I wonder if my ROM has a visual bug.. My OK and X button on the top right corner is oversized. It's showing like if a 3 year old kid painted it there...

LOL, +1 for making me laugh hard.
I'm not sure why it's like that.
Honestly, I never liked cooking with WM 6.1, I kinda just skipped over it from 6.0 to 6.5.1.
Really?? I feel honored to make laugh the one... Eh, nahh xD
Yeah, I agree with you, same here. First time on 6.1, and quite frankly, I miss my old ROM, I would go back to 6.5.3 but the program memory 'is to da*n low' =/
I flashed one of you saved presets and i loved it but the only thing was that it was 6.5.3 and had manila 2D with a 3D theme, sadly, the program memory was 3mb IDLE! And a lot of functions didn't work. For example: Google Maps, Settings tab, YouTube tab, Wallpaper and comm manger. ( but i think the everything in Settings tab didn't work )
So I'll probably try cooking a 6.5 and cook inside a Manilla 3D into it. And see what comes up.
Let me know if you got anything...
Although I will missed 27mb of program memory from the 6.1. .. AND 7mb pagepool ='(

I am not sure why the ROM wouldn't work for you. Those saved .erv files you should be able to load and recreate the ROMs I have on the fora..
EDIT: I cooked with build 21057 for the fun of it and I saw exactly what you meant, lmao. That is the worse UI I've ever seen M$ use, lol.
But what was cool was I was able to get 33MB of Program memory when I made an SD version and 62MB of Storage. And if I would have not cooked in .NetCF and a keyboard skin I would have gotten 70MB of Storage. I would like to use this but the looks of the ROM are amazingly horrible, so I don't think I can release it, lol.
Yeah =(
Just cooked a WM 6.5 and Manilla into it too, got it manilla to work great, only bug is that I cant change wallpaper T_T
Anyways, i got 4MB of program memory, and i stripped almost everything I could...
Mind giving me a list of ESSENTIAL files so I can make it even more slimer?

If you're making it using my kitchen then i'll upload an ervious save file. But if you're using another kitchen i'll be able to do it in a few hours.
Here ya go.
Awesome thanks, i'll check it out, I also made a extremely light one. 52MB Storage and 20+ Program.
But sadly i couldn't get M2D to be nice. I'm checking out SPB Mobile Shell =D
I'll see if I can make it lighter with from studying your ervs and put in manilla.
Thanks again, you're awesome.
Ah, thank you.
I've decided to upload my complete kitchen for you.
The kitchen you have has about 90% of what I use in mine. Maybe that will help you out. The .erv file you downloaded from 2 posts above, just insert them into:
Working_Folder\TOOLS\RomSaved inside your kitchen's folder in the kitchen you download from me.
My kitchen is huge, so it will take some time to archive and upload.
EDIT: Here is my complete kitchen.
Could you be more awesome?? No, really.. Could you?
Dude, thanks soo much =D
I can make a perfect ROM for me now!! =D
Thanks ^>^
Now, basically, just change up these things (and it will be your custom ROM) :
C:\kitchens\SuperJustKitchen\Working_Folder\SYS\23563 (or whatever build you're using) \dpi_96\COMMON\Base_DPI_96
(You can find icon packs in the Themes section on the forums, Here, and Here.)

(I suggest making a new theme for yourself making sure that you keep the names "classicblue_stwater_240_320.jpg" and "classicblue_stwater_320_240.jpg" the same for your portrait and landscape images. I simply use paint to make new images..)

(Now here you can change the boot screens. Try to keep your boot screens less than 45KB and you'll be smaller than M$'s screens.)
Next, click on Show Editor.
This will bring up all the .rgu files that are located in the kitchen. Scroll down to where you see the .rgu file located in the Shell. This takes about 2 to 3 minutes to finally pop up on my computer and it's a fast computer, so be patient^^.
Double click on it and it will open up the editor. Locate line 419. This is where you can 'brand' your ROM. All my ROMs I create usually have the branding '- Trib.' Put anything you want after the '- ' (and you also have to leave space right after the '- '). Then make sure to save. Then close out of the editor. Then go back to the main kitchen window. Then don't forget to save your ROM.

Look Here for more info>
I know how to do all those stuff, but since im not releasing it or anything like your stuff man, also you deserve most of the credit so i left your name in shell.
I read your guide on how to cook ROMs for QVGA.
