Well I have been keeping my Faria Base Rom to my self uptill now. But I have run out of ideas what I can do to it.
Well I have made my version that is is simple but has some very usful apps.
I would like to have 3-5 People test out for me and tell me what can be changed, if it is ok like I am thinking of maybe putting it out there for people to play with. But it all depends on the poeple that test it.

suggestions
I have got 31mb free ram on boot.
It is quite fast.
Suggestion
What to ADD:
New office2k7
New HTCtask manager 1.5
Audio manager
Java manager
New Sim manager
And Smartskey(it is one of the most useful application)
What to remove:
Customer Feedback
Error repoting
(I think these two are the most unuseful thing.)
Thanks, and there is no extended rom, and if you plan one then move it windows folder for G4 support.

Java manager (Left out as my Rom is made for the person that like min but useful, and this is not useful!!!)
New Sim manager (Took out as pointless, as with pimbackup on the phone, you dont need to save your contacts tot he SIMcard)
And Smartskey(it is one of the most useful application) I left it ou as it is not need!!! But you do have the button mapping, but i would not use it for boasting the CPU
New office2k7 Thought about this, and i did put itin there, but took it out again as the new one does not give much yet, as 2007 is not so widly used for the lose of rom space!!!
New HTCtask manager 1.5 Well did not know of this update, so i guess i could add it Do you know what is better?
Well I did not add the extended rom for that reason!!! So maybe will have to put the MMS stuff back in to the ROM
I think its bricked...
It finished flashing... went off... n now it wont start back up again....
Removed the battery and put it back in... its come on now... whew!! it sure gave me a scare at that point...
love the splash screens....
here we go with the set up...
Customising now... will update one its done...
its fast for sure...
Lotsa stuff i dont need... t zones... tmobile customisation...
CPU usage stays low between 1 - 3%. Will update battery drain once it settles...
One can get rid of error reporting and autoupdate... both are useless tools for a custom ROM
Have always had a problem with memory leak and suspect its because of tmail.exe... i use a lot of mail... outlook, windows live and sms put together would easily be more than 200 a day... this seems to be leaking as well... am already down to 25mb within an hour but that culd be because its updating my outlook mail... havent set up windows live yet...
more updates will follow in the morning... my wife's gonna lock the room door from inside anytime now...:-/

Ya the t-mobile stuff is just for this!!! If it gets lt out it will not have this!!! And t-zones is not in the rom!
Runs Great, But Phone Ringers Are Corrupted On My End Which Is No Biggy Man. T-Zones Dont Need To Be In There Cuz For Some Reason It No Longer Works Anymore. Might be the reason because T-Mobile Upgraded There New T-Zones For HTC Wing But Im Not Sure Just Know That When you Check Your Account It Wont let you. Another One you Should Add Musicplayer Today For Alittle Bonus And Add The new HTC Taskmanager Like Everyone Is Suggesting. Just So it Could Look Like A Stocked T-mobile Phone. I Love The Splash Screens. Really Fast But There Is A Battery Drain I Noticed But Might Be Because I have to let the battery drain first cuz I flashed. It Is At 50% And I dont have no push email, GPRS, Internet,Wifi, Or Bluetooth Running. I Would Hate To see when I Use Them It would Of Probably Already Been Dead! I Also havent Installed Any Program Either Everything Is Still Stocked. Also Recommend You Put Some Sort Of Battery Task On The Today Screen Like HTC HomePlug So You Can Check your Battery Life. But Pretty Much After That Runs Great Keep up The Good Job. I Will Still Monitor The Battery Situation More!
First view
Hey Funman!
Here it goes to my results...
Top 10 Good points of the Rom
I liked the way you cooked!.
Clean, simple and fast.
It really is and I still didn't have to overclock! Nice!
Got 43.40 of storage and 30.02 of program memory. Ok for me.
Good Customizations like text reduced and folders
Top 10 Bad points of the Rom
Customer feedback and Error reporting could be really removed as it really means nothing.
Phone settings seems to be not working properly. When I tried to change ring tone and clicked OK button, I got nothing. I still kept on that settings tab instead of back to today screen. I tried several times without luck. But I think is just a little thing coz you may get away from that just clicking on today icon and choose today itself.
Noticed duplicated task manager: programs\accessories\settings and in start\settings\system folder.

Total commander. I prefer Resco Explorer

In an overall and as my first impression, I loved it! You did a very custom ROM without a lot of craps and just cooking basic and usefull apps. Good job.
I'll keep going little more now installing my apps. Let you know what happened after that!
Great day Funman!

OK
But Java manager is useful as sim manager, not at the time but may be required in future coz there will be programs that will require java and same for Sim manager. But this is your choice, im just trying to make your rom perfect and complete.
And for new X button go here
im using it and it is very good no bugs.
And office2k7 is also essential coz there are new format (for eg: docx) which will run on new word only.
And yes there are two shortcut of taskmanager(dotfred), one is in programs/accessories/settings and other in settings/system.
Thanks

Where you heck are you seeing t-zones? IT is not in the rom!!! I have this running on my phone right now!!!
-No T-Zones,
-No Ring tones as I said above (just place a ring tone on your card in my documnets)
-Do you have a extended rom installed, as this is your problem with the batt drain!
I think i need to pull the rom and look at a coup-le of things, cus you should not be seeing t-zones for one thing! And i might move the extention to windows folder then you dont have the batt drain problem!
p.s Task manger is there two times out of design!
update: Ok I see why you had the problems with the ring tone!!! Cus you have not put a MP3 in your my documnet folder!!! The OS has put the default ones in but there are not in the rom!!! It must be a reg key or some thing I will look into getting rid! Well i looked at the ringtoens and i think the 3 defaults must be hard coded as i have not been able to find any reg keys that go with them.

Oxios ? Ok i cant remeber what this is?
Please can you give me screen shots of T-zones then i can see where you are seeing it!
Okay last night i flashed my Wizard.
This weekend we have Whitsunday festival overhere.
So give me sometime to test your rom.
I will post my findings tommorrow.
Why am I posting a new build?
1. Additional applications over first beta test.
2. Batter life has shown to be good.
3. Reports of A2DP working.
4. Looking for bigger audience to test before releasing.
5. Stable operation - more than 2 days without reset and counting.
6. Extensive use of compression where possible.
7. Results of testing are fed back into Pandora's Box Kitchen.

Still using 01.10.10, may give a shoot to 02.xx later.
I notice a strange thing. After you told me the registry setting to switch off WLAN preload, the problem that IE abnormal after 6-7 pages has gone! I tried to power cycle the device for several times and the problem does not show anymore.

Nice find! I didn't include that fix here either because of battery life, but it sounds like it has even bigger / better benifits. Thanks!
i'm using 02.05 but battery life is not as good as your 02.21 usage, what's the differences?

A few things maybe - I keep the phone locked and powered off when not being used (keeps the screen from "coming awake" every minute or so), I don't run batterystatus, I keep beam and wifi off unless I need them, and don't have the screen brightness cranked up. Other than that, I used it as described.
Edit: also, I remove everything but WifiInit and CapNotify from the startup folder.
Using 2.5
I have been using it for two days with no problems whatsoever! Battery life is good. Device is quick and responsive. A++++ for a stable, bare bones ROM!
hey bro great ROM...just a quick question....is this based on the latest build of WM6 ?

From what I've seen, yes - 15.2.1413. It is mUn's release and doubleOfour extracted it into his base kitchen - and heavily tweaked from there.

can i delete init_tray.lnk and poutlook.lnk (what r their functions)?

init_tray is for the batter icon and comm manager icon in the quick launch bar at the bottom of your screen.
The poutlook should be for kicking off the service for your outlook program - I don't use it, but even with other programs like voice speed dial, I can remove the sddaemon from startup and the program still works fine.
I'd suggest just moving them to your SD card and trying it!
thought i'd point it out, you included both PIM backup 1.9 AND SMS backup.
PIM Backup 1.9 will actually also back up your text messages for you (inbox and everything, including your outlook folders)
would save space if you removed SMS backup. unless there is a demand for it of course!
downloading right now and will be flashing soon! +
oh, and if you could actually make COMPLETE releases. by that i mean, when you upload, can you include the Rom Update Utility with its DLL's as well please.
thanx

so is there consensus that SMS Backup should be ax'd? I'll pull it from the release - which will alos include the update utility!
Well, my initial comments on the 2.22 build is that while using Live, omap, smartkey, and Weather to go, the batter is taking a good beating.
I think all this extra crap just eats up juice. I'm re-evaluating their importance relative to batter life...
Otherwise, I haven't had any issues to speak of.
Looks good...will give it a whirl after I cook dinner...lol
?...Why does everyone put Temp Internet Files on SD card...?
I like to keep them on the device....

I don't install or set anything to write to the SD either. I figure the SD is best for things like installation files or MP3's. The programs waste enough battery power when running, why have programs accessing the SD also and draining it more?
I just cooked up an extended rom, which includes the following cabs:
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Java5xx-CyberonVoice-CV-051220.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\P_Conn_CWS_APR12_Wizard.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\P_JavaGUID_HotFix.sa.CAB
I may be posting that I have a fancy brick in a few...
I'm installing this with a mild vanilla rom I'm trying out, getting ready for release...
i think i MIGHT have found a big problem.....i simply cant get WIFI to turn on via the comm manager....could this have anything to do with the fact that i dont have any WIFI connection available in the vicinity ?? i mean WIFI should atleast turn on shouldn't it?? otherwise great rom
try change HTCPreloadWifi to 1 (u have to SR after that)!
Or try to click it once more and it will be up.
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

Hi & welcome to the forum! What device do you have loaded & what WM6.x version?
LINKS
O.P. do you have a link library for all of that stuff..I can't locate a working TCMP for WM6.1 to save my life Spirint Touch Pro 2
tried every friggin Cab out there.. about to try an Alpha 4.1 of TCPMP 0.72RC1 GF5500Edition
It wasnt this hard with my HTC Mogul (PPC 6800)
This is really pisssing me off..
I also have a library of AVIs I'd really like to be studying from -- not converting to a format that windows Mobile media player can use--- this it stupid Seriously
Addendum this thing worked now I gota find which Flash video bundle it needs Grrr!!
I got it here I cant post link cause new site thinks im a noob...
------showthread.php?t=494183&highlight=flv
Addendum like I said this Alpha 4.1 ( FROM THIS SITE) is playing my old AVIs adequately but Now I have to locate a Flash Video Bundle appropraite for this build of TCPMP....IT REALLY SHOULDNT BE THIS FREAKING HARD ya know !!!
Ok, I have a wierd kind of "problem".
I have the ATT Touch Pro (Fuze) and when I first got it, it was a piece of crap with all of the lagging issues and what not. Now that I have read up on it here and modded it, it runs like a champ. I use the Romeos rom and I love it. My problem is this:
A few weeks ago, I was playing with it making changes to the registry an other things and over night, the battery life of the device went from about a day (needing to charge every night) to 3 to 5 days depending on usage. I haven't changed my usage habits at all and the only non software thing I can remember doing differently was charging it with a motorola razr charger by accident. I'm getting 3 to 5 days of battery life on a 3 hour charge. I'm afraid to do a hard reset on my phone because I won't know how to do this again.
Anyway, I am looking for a program that I can use to dump all of the current settings and whatnot from my phone so that I can upload it here so that some super genius can figure out what I did to make this awesomeness happen. Thanks in advance.
Use a registry editor (DotFRED Task Manager has one built-in) to export the registry from the device; after the hard reset, install the registry editor again and export the registry again.
You can then use a comparison utility (Beyond Compare is fairly popular) to compare the two registry files - this will display all of the differences. Focus on the areas that are different until you isolate the changes required.
HTH,

Without a doubt, please post that... I'm lucky if I get 10 hours let alone 3-5 days...
dra6onfire: you can attache only exported registry. We can find diferences by our selves if you have problem with that.
^ what he says
please post the registry dump here. we'll do the hard work for you. it would be verry beneficial for the users of HTC devices
would love to know how to get the battery working longer...
ive had a terrible battery lately so after flashing new rom and radio yesterday i killed it completely and charged while off last night
it has now dropped from 100 to 96 in the past half hour while getting mabe 3 texts and checking opera for a few seconds
i usually lose about 10 pct an hour except once its under 10 it can last a while
Don't post your entire registry online, that is crazy. Make sure you go through it first and delete all personal info, like owner info and product registration info. Otherwise, anyone can figure out your passcodes and use whatever registered software you have for free.
Export the registry to your desktop, open it with notepad (be careful not to import to your pc), and then edit it. You may want to change the file extension from .reg to .txt before transferring it to your pc; it will be safer to handle that way. Then, go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Owner and delete that key. Delete anything from HKCU\Software\xxxx that has info on registered software, as well as the HKLM\Software\xxxx entries that may have personal stuff. There may be some other areas as well that you should clean up (Gscroll has its registration info under HKCU\ControlPanel\GScroll-there may be other programs you own that have their keys in weird places).
Get rid of any activesync keys (may be login info) and other connection stuff.
It is possible to change some keys that screw up the battery meter; can't remember them off-hand, but I know that with Tsowen's taskbars, there's one key you need to change from 15 to 75 (or something like that), otherwise the scale goes from 0-20 instead of 0-100. Make sure you didn't just pull a bone-headed move and adjust the scale from 0-100 to 75-100, or something like that, lol. Have you changed your task bar recently? I have a feeling that you're seeing an artifact, and not something real. Another possibility, if you sync your fuze a lot, is that before you weren't charging it while synced, but now you are.
ok, I'm gathering that a lot of you aren't really seeing the same kind of battery life that I am, and as far as artifacts noted in the last post, not sure what you are taling about but whether or not the battery meter is showing correctly, the phone being on 5 days later without any charge and not ever having been connected to a computer doesn't lie. And as far as software concerns go, I'm not gonna lie, I haven't paid for any software on there, it all came from the friend who suggested I buy this phone, so no worries about people stealing software keys.
I was a little daunted by the task of sorting through the two registries to find the differences and I would prefer to know that I can replicate the mod before I restore the phone, so if you guys want to tackle that I'll just upload the reg dump in the post following this one. Good luck.

Sorry about this post, after reading it I realized it may have come off a little hostile. I appreciate the help and suggestions from everyone and I hope that this thread helps.

You can probably delete the entire HKCR part of each of the two dumps; that will make things less crazy.

yeah, it's still crazy. after removing HKCR I have almost 2000 diferences
I'm not good enough, maybe some one more expirienced could look at this?
edit:
important question
how you apply these tweaks? You made registry edit and change some values or you import reg files to registry or what is most propable you installed tweak cabs. If cabs you will find names of all cab tweaks in Add/Remove Programs in Settings->System If yes, please deliver us list of these cabs names.
I know that you use: in call tweak and lumos - so thats why idea of cabs
As far as what tweak are installed through cabs, I'm not sure what they all are so I'll just list all of the programs I have Installed:

Thats everything, all of the apps that I think are reg modifications or modifiers are marked **
The only registry edit that I can actually remember making was changing the pollinterval of the battery which extended the battery life but not nearly to the extent that I am seeing now.
I think you marked ** right. I don't see anything special. I never tested battery pollinterval. Maybe this + lumos reduce consumption. also all enabled options in Power management in Advanced configuration tool + disabled 3G/HSDPA.
As far as I can tell my 3g is active in the comm manager

I'll make small test. I installed lumos,AC3.3 tweaks,batter pollinterval and pointui. maybe I will enable 3g too, but I don't use it.
I will see what will be battery life after 2 days.
I would leave 3g active since it is on mine and that may play a role.
well, i get conflicting answers to whether 3G wastes more battery than 2G/EDGE
Opinions:
1) 3G on idle takes less battery than 2G on idle, but 3G on voice takes more battery than 2G on voice
2) new phones should have optimised 3G chips that should take less power than 2G for everything
right now, my Touch Pro on AT&T (3G off, no data connection, no wifi or BT,{red E on EnergyRom signaling no data connection) takes about 4-5% every 4-6 hours in sleep mode{when i myself go to sleep to take a nap }... will test it on 3G mode tomorrow...
//phone specs says up to 406h standby... right now, with a semi-worn battery, at least 120hours standby?...
surprising that my previous Blackjack II has a 1700mAh battery (Raphael has a 1340mAh), but BJ II is rated at only up to 300h standby...
Windowsmobilenow.com says
Talk time:
Up to 397 minutes for WCDMA / Up to 485 minutes for GSM
Standby time:
Up to 503 hours for WCDMA / Up to 406 hours for GSM

so 3G is moreo battery efficient in standby?

I had lot of troubles with Kaiser Rom's since most of them are packed with a lot of stuff, which in the end degrades the performance, so, I have decided to make a super fast ROM.
Any application you need, you can simply get the cab file for it, so why have it in the ROM? Most applications now can be installed on the SD card, and thus saving the precious space for storage, and most importantly RAM.
I tried many Rom's and all of them were not giving more than 80 MB of RAM on TYTNII, this one gives 101 MB, after installing all the apps.
One benefit for having everything on the ROM, is when the device crash, and you need a hard reset. OEM packages are just automatically installed. Instead, I cooked inside the ROM TAutoInstall, which would automatically lookup the root of the SD card for any cab files, and after the hard reset, will show you a list of the cab files, and prompts you on which one to install.
Apps installed:
1- Comm Manager
2- Quick GPS
3- Java
4- Internet Sharing
5- Calculator
6- Microsoft One Note
7- Camera Album
8- sprite Backup
9- Quick Menu
10- .Net framework
11- Camera
12 HTC Photo Album
13- Remote desktop
14- CE File commander
Any other application , you can just install yourself, and have the option to install on the SD card.
Radio version is 1.64, OS is WM 6.1
Only 6 ringing tones are included as standard, so you can add whatever you want.
Enjoy !
To install, please unpack the file, and double click on customRuu.exe and follow the online instructions.
special thanks to Alex for his cooking tutorial. You can make your own ROM here Alex Tutorial
To download the ROM, please click here Slim Rom

Known Issues and how to resolve them
Issue : The right and left soft buttons are not properly configured.
Resolution : While you can add the buttons manually through registry, I am using AEButtons plus which allows to configure many functions for each button.
Issue : Arabization
Resolution : I use FeeJaibi Ain, works perfect with English interface

Yes, Camera V5 is there, and works great, together with HTC photo Album. What is really missing is an MMS application. I did not include it because I am not subscribed to the service
hello, rom is very fast ı lıke it, but buttons arent workin. what can ı do, ı dont know how to do it from registry. help pls
isn't here anyone to help
this now 7 post thread was abandoned over a year ago, so help will be limited. Try a newer 6.5.x rom instead, much more better than 6.1 fo show

I am glad that you liked the ROM, and yes, it is the fastest
Now, here is the catch... There are 2 versions for Kaiser, one is with only one camera, and the other with 2 cameras. This ROM was written for the one with one camera, (the AT&T version) , and all buttons wor out of the box. I have 2 Kaisers, one the AT&T version, and the other, with 2 cameras. For the other one, I used aebuttons plus to configure the buttons to work,as well as add more functions to the buttons, such as double click , tripple click, long press...etc.
