I searched all over yesterday to find any info that would help me to try my hand at cooking roms for my Ipaq. I found a thread for Hx2*** series Ipaqs, there was a kitchen included with the rom. But no instructions on usage or anything. When I try to find tutorials on how to use the kitchen, there's just so many different ones.
So my questions, are wm6.1 roms device specific or are they a melting pot of settings to make it work on your device? How would I go about finding out how to use the kitchen included in the release? Better yet how would I make my own kitchen? What about base roms, is a base rom the same across all devices, and just tuned to work with certain devices? Or is it dumped from a certain model and just tuned from there? I ask because there is a wm6.1 for the ipaq I have and hp never went over 5.
I'm not looking for you to spell out huge answers, links to threads are great. I have tried over and over again to revise my searches to no avail. Im thinking my problem is with my older Ipaq. It's what I got and it's what Id like to start on. But its a bit outdated haha.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've beat up google, been around a million sites to no avail. I hope someone can pass a few tidbits of info my way. Thanks.
Bump, anyone?

First off, I apologize if this turns out to be a redundant thread that's answered elsewhere on XDA (I've noticed several like that) but I've cooked a Kaiser (formerly a branded TILT) ROM but I'm not quite satisfied w/ my choices of packages so I was wondered what it took to use Atom packages or Hermes packages (or any other device packages for that matter) on my TILT.
I would go ahead and simply throw them into a TILT-based ROM but I was worried about potential conflicts that may arise. If there is a sticky or another thread hiding in XDA that answers this, someone just point me in the right direction. I've looked around on here and I may have just missed it. I see things like "Diamond-based" ROMs like Dutty's but I dont know if he had to do extra steps to use them on the Kaiser.
Anyways, any help would be appreciated since I've seen some nice CABs on other devices that I'd like to use on my ROMs.
Thanks again in advance.
Hey guys,
I know I am going to sound really newby, but that is true in this PDA world for me. I recently got my HTC love, and I really love the phone.
I have surfed XDA for quite a while, and I am truly amazed at the number of PDA users. It truly is a great collection, but I have not been able to find answers to these questions. The search option has not helped much but give me several different ROM types and versions, but I dont know what exactly they are so can someone help me out on these questions please:
What exactly is ROM?
What is Flashing ROM?
Different languages of ROM?
Manila 2D ROM? Kaiser ROM? Diamond ROM?
It would be really kind if someone could answer these questions.
I appreciate your time.
Thank You
ROM stands for Read Only Memory and is the part of your phone's memory where the Operating System is stored - equivalent if you like to XP or Vista on the PC.
Flashing the ROM refers to replacing the ROM that came with your phone with another - usually written or "cooked" by enthusiasts who build in there own programs and preferences. Flashing is best done after much study as there is a chance you can wreck your phone. If you want to modify your phone it is best to start off using CAB files.
Yes there are different languages of ROMs available. A Manila2D ROM would have the Manila2D interface built into it. Kaiser and Diamond are other phones in the HTC range.
My phone slows down with the cab files, and I can see how memory plays a part there.
Also installing manila 2d was way too laggy, I kind of want more memory and space available.
So if I do the flash ROM, and have this huge ROM space, all I have to do later is to install cab files on ROM right?
Thanks for your reply Restorer.

yes but this is the quick answer thread ok lets see.
The Phone has memory to run programs like virtual memory and storage memory partitioned (as fake) on some provided to Operative system's phone... I mean Wizard has a little and other phone has so much more... why? cause it needs more program memory or the app are more heavy ok?

this is the questions an answers section, in otherwords if someone has a question give them an answer. if you are going to say "read the wiki" you need to atleast give them a link on where to start, otherwise you are just spamming.
now to ANSWER the question....
yes you can install cabs, its still windows mobile its just like when you a get a computer from dell, dell will give you windows but they will also give you a bunch of "Dell-ware" (usually a bunch of useless shareware someone is paying them to load on their computers)
When you get a new rom you still get windows you just get a choice at what you want on your phone, instead of what your service provider thinks they might be able to sell you or what they think you will use.
You can get roms in all different flavors, anything from something striped down to the very core of the operating system, or something loaded with multimedia features, or something based around a program such as a manilla rom.
to read up on this go here, MAKE SURE YOU READ, if you follow direction you will be fine but if you just jump in without reading everything you will brick your phone.
Here is some good readin that will answer some of your questions....
Is there a list of ROMs anywhere or can could people tell me what is available? I have spent hours and hours searching the Internet, searching this forum and I have only come up with a few and I know there has to be more than what I am finding.
The main reason I want different ROM is because I don't want my Tilt to lock up with my bluetooth anymore and hopefully my sound won't disappear making me reboot to get it back. Everything else is a bonus.
So any help is appreciated before I drive myself more insane than I already am.
(and no, I don't want to know which one is the best, I will figure that out on my own )
I really doubt you've searched, because there was a recent thread attempt to list them, and you'd have known about our WIKI.
We do not give out handouts. Put in the EFFORT.
Your phone shouldn't be locking up often with the stock ROM. If it is, there's probably something wrong with it or your bluetooth device or some crummy software you've got on it.

Put in the effort? I have been doing this for 3 days now and have been up until 2:00 in the morning trying to do all of this and I get a message like this? I have never had someone be like that to me on a forum. Unbelievable. Nothing like being helpful.
Please do me a favor and close this, I would rather spend my days searching instead of this crap.
I flash roms more often then a Trench-coat wearing man in a70's porno I normally end up on blackstone, PDA ultimate or the vista one all three IMHO are rock soild stable and feature packed if you read the wiki which is sticked at the stop of this forum you will learn all you need to learn about unlocking the wiki also contains the links to all the patched and bug fixes as well as a huge number of add-on's
Closed, follow suggestions, read the wiki for Kaiser it has a comprehensive list of avaliable stock & cooked Roms.
Ok guys let me start by saying that i have recently purchased a M5000 which came with WM5 and i am now looking to upgrade to WM6. I have to apologise in advance as it is a new unit i am a total newb so i have a few questions.
1. Do i simply install a new ROM to upgrade?
2. If so what is considered the best version and where can it be found?
3. If i upgrade do i lose all my installed programs?
The unit is currently running with the orange side bar which i find a little annoying this is the main reason for wanting to change.
Like i say i am new so i can only apologise if my questions seem a little stupid. I have tried searching the forums for the answers but to no avail.
Many thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum
1.- Yes, but follow the instructions!
2.- Tomal ROM v8.5, do a SEARCH!
3.- Yes
Please READ the Wiki!! and enjoy
Many thanks Orb. I did try doing a search but unfortunately there were no polls on the subject and there did seem to be a few different versions available so i was looking for advice. I have found all the info on the wiki so i will be giving it a bash this weekend. Appreciate your help though.

Good luck,
Cheers orb. I had already seen the that update but my dilemma was that there are several other updates available and i wasnt sure what the general feeling as to the best one was. My initial thoughts were that the tomal was the most popular due to the number of posts and posters mentioning it in their sigs.
Whats the difference between the standard and special builds?
Are there any extra system requirements for the special build?
Thanks for your help though. I know to you it must seem a little trivial but i can assure you that your help has given me the extra confidence i probably needed to undertake the update.
At this point my friend
The best recommendation is to test several! till you have the one that fits your personal needs (I have tested a lot to find mine)
And really, you have to read!
You´ll find what is the difference between
Vanilla, standard, etc ROM´s
And many many more very usefull info
You know what is my recommendation
Enjoy!
p.d. You don´t need any extra requirements for that special build
hello, new to the boards here, just managed to successfully flash a WIND Mobile HTC Maple to custom ROM, was wondering if there is currently any way to dual boot or install android onto this HTC Maple device?
Have searched the boards but still remain confused about whether or not this is possible. Online tutorials seem to specify this capability on Diamond, Exaclibur, etc, but nothing solidifying a working or available procedure for the HTC MAPLE. Any information to point in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks
Please search next time, it was on top of the DEV section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712890
Try to contact via PM the devs in the excalibur forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560495 and see if they still pulling this project . Maybe they can give you some tips /advice from where to start .
alright just like to extend my gratitude for having reopened the thread.
and state if need be to have the thread moved please by all means.
the issue im having here is trying to dual boot ANDROID ON AN HTC MAPLE.
the confusing part of this procedure is ive looked everywhere for a suitable distribution specifically designed for the MAPLE but have had no luck.
even looking into WING-LINUX there seems to be no specific file for use with the HTC MAPLE. Exaclibur, vogue, diamond, hd2 i believe were the listed devices among others. but nothing referencing use with the maple. i can not seem to find any alternative methods to accomplish this, and my maple has already been flashed to a cooked rom and unlocked.
any tips leading in the right direction here would be much appreciated
thanks yet again for everyones time

You need to port wing linux to the mapple to do that, you will need a lot Development work to check compatibility and other things. I'm not quite familiar with this...that's why I redirect you to the devs in the excalibur, who are the ones closest to make more funtional this version. Also if you check the site on the chef central forums you can search there and get some "tips" of how you can do it though.
I hope that helps,
Ps I will keep this thread here for a while to see if there's someone who wants to adventure and start this project for the Maple.
Developments?
I'm curious if any developments have emerged for the HTC Maple? I've been playing around with a few other projects but I'd like to see if anyone here has gotten Excalibur working. I checked HTC-Linux.org but not much in terms of providing resources or files.
I'm eager to help get Android on the Maple. it will be a lifesaver for battery life and app development. Any contacts or resources are greatly appreciated.
