I have rebuilt and updated 2.3.21109 with new tools and updates. it is now a mega ram rom...with over 129 MB Storage memory free. It is faster and lighter than ever. New graphix boost etc.
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.

NOW for the ROM Stuff...................................

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.

[/SIZE] [/SIZE]
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

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.

Disk Drive
Do you think, it is pointless to have Disk Drive option (USB to PC), when it is can not be used.

Crossbow Reloaded
A Faria ROM Kitchen Production by mfrazzz
I've been cooking my "perfect" rom with the Faria ROM Kitchen V2. I keep seeing people asking for a newer WM6 ROM that isn't "Vanilla" but comes with apps pre-installed (sort of like "the real thing" or Faria's AKU 3.3), so I've decided to release the ROM I'm now running on my phone. While this is not a fully loaded rom, it does come with stuff that I find useful. This ROM is a product of what _I_ wanted, so no complaints about why does this rom have this in it, or why didn't you put this in there. If you don't like how this rom is spiced, then go grab the Faria ROM Kitchen and make your own version (thats pretty much all this is).
Please Note: this ROM was NOT intended to push the limits on speed optimization or memory optimization. It was made to be functional and something that I myself wanted and will use. I've been running this ROM for over 24 hours, and on my phone with BatteryStatus overclocking it to 260Mhz, CpuScaler set to a min of 143MHz and a boost of 273MHz, I've found it to perform at a better than acceptable level for myself, and so far Battery life seems just as good as any other WM6 ROM I've tried.
What's In this ROM
This is straight out of the Faria ROM Kitchen so its a "fixed" version of "the real thing" that I've added packages too, and changed slightly.
ROM Version: 2.18.0.0 WWE
ROM Date: 02/14/06
Protocol: 4.1.13.09
ExtROM version: Faria V5.0
There is no Radio, IPL, SPL or Extended ROM.
Since this comes from the Faria ROM Kitchen it has the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1226318&postcount=4
I've added the following to this rom:
Voice Command 1.6 (US)
VoIP included, follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299950 to make it work
Adobe Reader LE
Notepad editor
Pocket RAR
HTC Zip
HTC X-Button
PIM Backup
Total Commander
GSFinder
MoDaCo NoData (so you can turn off data sources)
mUn Keyboard Skin
WM5torage 1.73
PHM Registry Editor
dotFred TaskManager (with registry editor link)
BatteryStatus 1.04.202 Beta 3 Build 0195 (latest version at time of build)
Smartskey 0.56 (DPAD is set to 0 in the .ini so the up and down scrolling works in the Phone dialer as expected in WM6)
10 Button CommManager with Black theme
New welcomehead.96.png (3rd splash screen) to match first two splash screens
Requirements
You MUST have an IPL and SPL at 2.xx or higher (BOTH not just one or the other).
You MUST be running ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP (Vista comes with the correct sync utility, although there have been issues reported about Vista and sync'ing with PPC's so be aware of that).
Before you attempt to upgrade to this ROM, Please follow this thread to learn how to flash roms and CID unlock, and how to fix issues you may run into! It is also recommended that you flash your phone with a Windows XP computer and not Vista. It will work with Vista, but if you run into problems Vista can't talk to a phone in Bootloader mode!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Recomendations
Use BatteryStatus (its included in the rom!) to overclock (I use 260MHz), and the CPUscaler settings in BatteryStatus to set a min of 143MHz and a Boost of 273MHz
For Cingular users, I recommend you use the T-Mobile 2.19 UK Radio. Newer Radio versions tend to have missed calls and SMS messages (just like with all other WM6 ROMs)
Known Issues
After installing, you will need to modify Regional Settings as it defaults to English (UK), and Date Format will need to be adjusted to your liking (same behavior as the Faria Vanilla from the ROM Kitchen)
After initial install, I've found it best to configure BatteryStatus for overclocking, then perform a soft reset.

Crossbow Reloaded v1.5 has been released!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306820
.
I would like to thank the following in help (directly and indirectly) with Crossbow Reloaded:
Faria for providing both the base rom and the ROM Kitchen that I used to "cook" this ROM.
Funman for his fantastic PDF document on using the ROM Kitchen and for answering questions and fixing bugs in packages I hastily put together
ADB100 for finding and fixing some bugs in packages I worked on
Molski for having a nice tutorial on various cooking tools and providing easy access to info at http://www.molski.biz
Many others here that provided information, tips, and suggestions that I used when putting this together
While I'm releasing this, I fully realize this is really just a repackaging of the Faria Vanilla ROM that is included in Faria's ROM Kitchen. Other than a couple of slight modifications, I don't take credit for a full "cooking". This is more like taking a pre-packaged dinner, and adding the spices and herbs that I wanted for my taste buds. Believe me, this was not that hard to do, and I did not spend the countless hours that full blown chefs spend in providing amazing base roms. So a HUGE thanks goes to the REAL chefs that support our community!
This post will be where I place extra files to add to / enhance / fix this ROM
Attached is the cab file for Cingular users to setup GPRS and MMS.
For T-Mobile US users, here's a link to a post by FZZF that has info for your setup of GPRS and MMS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1250747&postcount=408
For those having issues connecting to the internet via Active Sync, cut and paste this code onto your PC in a file called net_over_activesync.reg and run it (on your PC not your phone)
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
For G4 users, I've attached a zip file with the Splash Screens of this rom (since you don't get them when you use the shell tool). As I understand it, this is completely safe for a G4 as its nothing but splash screens (no OS, IPL, SPL, Extended ROM, etc, just splash and htc logo screens). I've also placed the .bmp files that make up the splash screen in the zip file so you can see them directly before flashing this. Before anyone asks, yes, the htc logo one is grainy. I had to do that due to size limitations of the file. I tried for a couple of hours to get a nicer version to work but it wouldn't display correctly (seems to have to be pretty low res / non-complex)
.
One more post to reserve space for future needs...
woot! sounds great, downloading now
u guys r gonna turn me into even more of a flashing junkie than I was before!
just wanna say thanks to ALL ROM cookers and anyone else that helped, keep up the great work!
Looks like a good ROM put together with essential programs. Thanks
Nice..
I'm glad you got it done
Its good to have a "fully loaded", stable, WM6 out there. And you've likely saved lots of people lots of time and frustration by pre-cooking it for them. Especially first time upgraders, or those coming from faria's 3.3 rom.
Best wishes,
Just what I have been looking for.
I shall give it a whirl tonight.
Thanks

Thank you mfrazzz. Sounds like a good ROM, downloading now!.
rom
nice work mate
is this the wm6 faria version with the extra OEM packages from the other thread ?
as i installed them i encountered an error with NoData, an unexpected...
this could be coz i dont have a data connection yet..
it also wouldnt connect anymore to my activesync 4.5.. solved this by
reinstalling the wizard-driver in my pc.
i was wondering if i need anything else added if i wish to add some cab files
for preinstalling my apps..
maybe we can setup some coorperation to make the perfect rom for all of us.
with the help of faria's romkitchen v2 it be the best solution there is..
there is need for graphics, for OEM packages, extended roms and testing
since i read a lot and flashed about 35 phones now i can probably be of use

Nice work, this is almost the same as I end up customizing mine to once I flash..I just add Today'sAgenda and do some tweaks to move mail and attachments to SD and away I go.
I think I will give this a try.

This is the base rom provided by Faria in his ROM Kitchen V2. Only changes I made directly to the ROM was in putting in the 10 Button CommManager, and the 3rd splash screen. Beyond that its that straight base rom, and then the packages I released (and a couple I didn't release) in the Share the packages thread. NoData works fine for me, but if you don't have any data sources setup then yeah, it may crash (never tried that).

This isn't a base rom, If you want to preinstall your own apps, you would need to cook your own version of this rom (or post the packages and I'll consider them for a new release that might come out.
Yeah the Share the Packages thread was aimed at just that, to allow people to share rom kitchen packages so we can all easily build what we see as the perfect rom. Unfortunately, I've been the only one releasing anything in that thread.
Speaking of graphics, I just realized I left out all of the themes I was going to put into this rom. Ah well... I guess a reason for another version of this.

Thanks... This is the base I tend to immediately put on all of my roms after I flash to a new version, so I decided to just get it all inside a rom, and the Faria Vanilla was working VERY well for me.
I personally don't use TodayAgenda (I've had issues with it in the past, and I have a paid copy of PocketBreeze that I use instead). I really wanted to get WeatherPanel in here, but finally decided against it. Instead I'll post an updated cab for it (fixes the Moon phase through 2008) and a copy of the files for the Chemeleon-240-QVGA theme, and WeatherPilot (so you can do one handed navigation of WeatherPanel).
@Mfrazz, Thanks for kicking this out to the masses, I'm running Faria beta Vanilla and haven't found the time to master the RK and cook my own. I appreciate you taking the time to make the kitchen easier for the not so technical and for sharing your ROM. Looking forward to future version and the weather panel cab with skins and all...that progy looks cool.

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.

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.

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

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

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)

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

My post has grammatical errors.lol.
You did nothing wrong. The thing is that the rom you flashed does not have the Splash Scree(boot up screen),that is why it displays the old splash screen. Nothing to worry,you can have any splash screen.
oh, excellent, thank you!
that explains it! ... I tried several times thnking i screwed up.
this is such a great ROM. i feel like I finally have a phone that just WORKS right out the gate. i may not even install ifonz now.
but for sure i will install icontact, i already installed pcm keyboard, which i find essential for finger usage.
thank you.
cool man thnx

Most of you know that PDAVIET, longtime member of XDA, withdrew postings of his newer ROMS here because, as stated on this final thread, posted by Sid_dominic56 :
Many Wing users here DO appreciate PDAViet's excellent ROMS; as can be seen in this December 28, 2008 XDA discussion: PDAVIET-ROM BUILD 20764.1.4.3.PV or Open Touch 7.7 . And since Sid dominic points us to the current versions, and all of these ROM discussions at XDA are outdated, it seems useful to have a thread to share installation & implementation issues of these Herald/Wing ROMS.
For those interested, the latest ROM is available from PDAViet.net here; and following those links, you will come to its download location.
My Question: The last ROM I had on my WING was ttrans Open Touch 6.5 .. but I flashed to this new TouchFLO 2D tonight. It works beautifully, but I am not sure what I did wrong in the installation process. When I soft-reset, the first splash-page I get is from the older ttrans ROM, but then it proceeds to load up TouchFLO 2D WM6.1 V6.1.405.15 just fine. What does this indicate? And do I need to start over again?
P.S. -- I shot video of this entire installation process from previous ROM, to downloading new one, to installing -- as a helpful guide to new users. As soon as I edit it, i will post to YouTube and link here.

Yeah I had the same problem. Fortunately I'd already read your comment so I wasn't alarmed when it happened. So far so good. Seems to move a lil more faster than the last.
Oh yeah....
I did notice that the "voice recorder" app won't open up. I really need that cause I make music and also write and sometimes when I get an idea and don't have something to write with I just say or hum it in the voice recorder, so it would be REALLY nice if there was a fix for that. Thanks.

Re: Hi, I have question re PDAViet TF2D Rom; I see you run it
I think this should be okay to share since XDA is about leveraging knowledge. I asked an active user of PDAViet's TouchFLO 2D if he thought it would be a good choice for me for my desire to run ifonz app launcher. His reply indicates no... since it is not a lite rom.

Re: Hi, I have question re PDAViet TF2D Rom; I see you run it
The PDA-Viet rom I was using was the second version from the thread opened by sid_domonic56. The thread is now closed, but you should still be able to get the rom and I also believe someone else opened a thread with one that was more updated, but I could be wrong. I would not recommend the Pda-Viet rom if you are using the ifonez theme. It is not a lite rom, even though the memory specs are pretty nice. I am unsure if you could load two good sized today programs on the phone, unless you can run ifonez from your sd card. I've never used it so I am not sure how that program works. My recommendation would be to stay with 6.5 lite, as I believe 7.7 has too many bugs and memory drain issues. Otherwise, I would look into Ivan's just 2 clean rom as it about as stripped down as you can get and should run pretty fast. Hope this helps.

So, has Ivan's just2clean been updated lately, to move to newer builds of the OS?
Also, though I understand ttrans' OT v 7.7 is still buggy, i have heard you and others rec his v 7.4... which I believe is a lite rom. So, is 7.4 a lighter or higher performing rom than OT 6.5?

would you consider trying this other similar rom for COMPARATIVE PURPOSES, to see if voice recorder works, etc?

I am pretty sure i want to run ifonz vs Today screen or other nav scheme, and that means I need a LITE version of a ROM, but hopefully a contemporary version with a newer build... so i can then a la carte add apps -- such as dumping audio manager for Nitrogen, Thumbcal for windows calendar, iContact for windows contact mgr, opera mini vs clunky IE, etc.
So, for me if i had a fast windows shell that looked like this, but very stripped down re built in apps, that 's what i need.
Also, can someone define for me very specifically: what is "manila", what is TouchFLO 2D VS 3D, and how do they relate, if they do at all.

I'll try it perhaps when I get home tomorrow and let you know if I notice any differences between the 2.
This is a great ROM.
I flashed it yesterday and I really like it. Fast, stable and very intuitive.
Just a question:
Who is the cute kid on the lock screen??
cant establish data connection...
...this is a great ROM pretty fast have not come across any bugs yet I have only one question how do I set up my data connection I got used to the "connections wizard" on other ROMs.

you can find similiar instructions in the Herald Wiki...
The author of this particular PDAViet Rom is: Microlab071966
... whose profile, at PDAviet.net, says further: TP.Hà nội
I am going to guess this is someone's initials TP, from the city Ha noi, in northern Vietnam -- an absolutely beautiful city... and right now is the season of TET, the Vietnamese New Year! (btw, the ROM's timezone is initially set to Hanoi, Vietnam ... )

I'm guessing that's "PDAViet"'s child. But when I was exploring his site the other day to find this ROM, I realized that this particular ROM seems to be from a different developer who also "cooks" at PDAviet.net.
The Rom that many XDAers have downloaded previously from XDA's "PDAVIET", is, I believe, from the author named: PhamQuang HERALD WM6.1 ROM V24 - Build 19214.1.0.4
But the ROM that I have linked to here is posted by user named Microlab071966 ROM HERALD_WWE_6.1.405.15_BUILD 21109-5.0.0.PV(Manila2D)
The only person who can answer this question is ... XDA's "sid_dominic56".
Deconstructing: I have some questions about "what is what" on this ROM

My initial intention is trying this ROM was because I wanted a faster, newer ROM as my basic Windows OS, that I would then install on top of that, ifonz interface.
I did not know, until I installed the ROM, that it comes with a very nice finger-browseable User Interface and application launcher. I would like for someone to deconstruct the components of this ROM so I can finally understand which pieces come from WindowsOS, which pieces come from HTC, and which aspects are coded or optimized by "chef".
Most users here know all of this already, as basic knowledge. I don't.
1. What is "manila"? Is manila the user-interface style of the finger-friendly icons that navigate programs, contacts, messages, internet, settings, etc? If not, what is it exactly? And can it be added, with separate cab, to other ROMS, replacing another ROM's look & feel?
2. What is TouchFLO 2D ? Is this the software that enables users to scroll with fingers up & down, and right and left? If so, was this developed by HTC, or has any version of Windows Mobile ever come with that capability? Similarly, can TouchFLO 2D be added to another ROM as a separate installation (if it is not cooked into the existing ROM)?
3. What is TouchFLO 3d? Is that related to the HTC "cube" interface? can someone give me a link to a screenshot or video example? AND: Is this correct? That 2D would be less processor-demanding than 3D, or is that unrelated?
4. The application & utility components that are listed as being cooked inot this ROM have the prefix name "Opal" ... What does this mean? Is this the name of an HTC device? Is is the name of HTC interface elements?
5. Finally, when people speak about "clean Builds", what are these, and how are they obtained? I am guessing they are latest versions of the Windows Mobile OS, but is that right, or not? It always seems like people are searching for ROMS with the newest build. That makes sense. Isn't that part of why people like this PDAVIET ROM ?
6. Finally, my reason for trying to understand these pieces or layers is because I have 2 paths I could go down: (1) Give up the whole idea of using the ifonz interface & application launcher, instead using this ROM's built-in navigation scheme (manila??), or (2) Go to a stripped down ROM, like Just2Clean, install iFonz onto it, and build, a la carte my whole customized user-experience for how I like to access various applications and settings and phone #s & pictures.
My decision is about 50% optimal usability, and 50% multi-application performance. As great as these HTC phones are, 9 times out of 10 when the phone rings, just getting the phone out of my pocket and answering without some kind of accidental touch screen or hard button action is a miracle. I'm a power user for web browsing, google maps & GPS, video & images, youtube, etc, so I have no problem using THAT stuff, but it's always the basic PHONE issues that are problematic.
I would love even partial answers here, number by number, so I can properly evaluate whether this ROM is right for me. As I said, it was sluggish multitasking with browser open, contacts open, total commander open, and notes open, and mp3 player running -- but thats what i need "always on". So maybe I need a ROM with less stuff built in, so I can use my preferred apps. For example, I don't ever want to even LOOK at WMP. Audio Manager was my preferred MP3player, until Nitrogen came out. And, for example, this ROM has WMP and Audio Manager cooked in.
I am currently using Open Touch 6.5, and am thinking of switching to PDAviet's rom. I am anxiously awaiting your video, as I don't want to mess up the flash.
As soon as you put it up, I'll flash it. Thanks quicksite.
Here is my first attempt at a ROM. It is based off of 21042 SYS & XIP

The lite version will need to be flashed via your SD Card.
Please report any issues you find and I will begin working on fixing them.
A couple of known issues:
* battery meter doesn't update properly. Update the registry to look like this, soft reset and Voila:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:00000065
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:000003e9
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
"BaseId"=dword:00000000
* Phone won't powercycle - it is a bug that has to do with M2D. Use the reboot option under quickmenu
please report back any bugs that you find, and i will work on them and get a new version posted as soon as possible, but I am only able to upload when I get home from work (usually around 9:00pm CST) because I have a slow internet connection at work.
here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=f3232c42acce9cf541446e35a78dc46339c6720f418718fac95965eaa7bc68bc
Here are the requested screen shots. I apologize for the delay it just kept slipping my mind. The only thing that will change in the final release will be a custom theme for M2D to go along with my theme for the ROM.

Private Beta Released
The Beta Version was released last night to the 10 Beta Testers. I am anxiously awaiting their response. I am hoping to be able to fix any bugs that they find and release it to the public Mon or Tues.
Beta Testers
I had a couple of the beta testers report that they are having trouble flashing. One tester tried a different RUU (Flash Center) and it worked. I didn't have this problem when testing. Can some others try a different RUU if you are having troubles flashing.
I have family obligations tonight and will be offline until Sunday. Please report back any info to me.
Testing Open To Everyon
I included the link to the first beta release of my first ROM. Please report back any bugs that you find. The first post also has a couple of known issues and bugs.
Also, updates will occur in the evening as that is the only time I have a reliable internet connection to upload.
Please Teach Me
For the past two months, I've been struggling to learn how to cook properly for the Herald. After following the lessons by Ivan, I am still clueless when it comes to SYS. I simply don't understand how it works. If you don't mind, do you have another way of explaining to me how to work that folder so I can preinstall programs I want? Thanks.

I am flattered that you would seek my advice, but I must honestly say that I am still a very very newbie when it comes to ROM cooking and probably not the best person to seek the advice of when it comes to learning to cook. All of the information is out there to learn from, unfortunately it is just not in one nice, neat, and organized place. However, if you are wanting to add programs to be preinstalled in a ROM then you should be focussing on your OEM folder. That is where you are going to be adding the packages of the programs. The way I understand things, and keep in mind I am a beginner, the newer SYS folders are basically the newest versions of the different things that MS includes in the ROM. Your OEM folder is where you will be placing the packages of the programs you want to use.
Bugs???
Everyone please post any issues or bugs that you find so I can work to fix them.
Thanks
Hey Qball, I was still unable to get the rom to install after the RUU error. I tried using another RUU but to no avail.
i'll test the rom today.
try to make an *nbh file smaller- it'll leave more space to operate the rom
test: A-
it's pretty fast rom, has a lot of useful programs, but as i was afraid, the rom is little "fatty". on fresh flash, i had 15 mb of ram, and 24 mb of storage, whith is not much. i didn't dig it to much deep'cause i don't have time for this, but on my opinion, if you'll strip it down , it could be a very nice rom.

py8's Bug & Feedback：http://www.zn520.com
wm 6.5 for I617
From this BBS, it looks like WM 6.5 is indeed out, as of 11/27/09 there has been progress on the issue. They are using WM 6.5 28004 derived from the Qing Shadow DIYROM, and based from the 1115 edition of WM 6.1. More specific log changes and general information could be accessed from the URLs below for those fluent in chinese.
It looks like the issue still stands on the Blackjack II's display problems, having trouble in specific to anything on the OS related to LayeredWindows. This would result in animated icons to become very slow and allow only a black background. Transparent effects will be removed, however, but the core WM 6.5 functions would be retained while overlaid a WM6.1-esque experience. A fix has been issued, changing this registry value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ GWE]
"EnableLayeredWindows"=dword:1 "EnableLayeredWindows" = dword: 1
This would allow for a smooth experience on WM 6.5, and the Titanium Slide will still function according to the source. Also, they claim to have a bug similar to the i200 on WM 6.5, where you would need to alter Alert_Subtle in the Windows folder of the device, and edit the file via text editor (directions on the BBS for the fix says there would be an option in menu to edit when you are accessing the file, and then you would simply just delete random portions so that the file is read different and save). The problem is related to either a continuously playing ringtone or a ringtone that freezes/hangs (unsure, using Google Translate on this BBS).
I wish I could provide links and a screenshot, but Google Translate only got me this far, I'll need someone to help me test it. In order for me to test it, I'd have to register, and their captcha requires chinese characters to be inputted on the dropdown box..
Also, looks like this BBS is just as anxious as many other i617 owners, waiting for the developer to continue developing a stable release of 6.5. This, however, seems to be the first working implementation, so many congratulations to original poster py8 for the development of Ya-Black 28004 build of 6.5 for the i617! Also, thank you Shabudabu for posting the first link to allow me to deliver this information

Download FlashGet first and click the 3rd red button - it will launch flashget and start downloading it. Hopefully someone can use this - I imagine some language modification will be needed.

First post.
So I'm a noob with these ROMs and stuff. I usually do iPhone stuff (jailbreaking, unlocking, etc).
So I have a few Blackjack II's (AT&T). How would I go about getting 6.5 on here? Is it too early to have clear-cut instructions?
Alright so I was able to get the file for 11-27 downloaded. I'm at this screen:
What do I need to do now?
Funny enough, I haven't been able to get the ROM yet..still had trouble downloading it with FlashGet..would you be able to rehost the file? I'll put it on my account so everyone can get it without going through the trouble, or better yet, attach it on the thread.
You're very close though, but first things first, because the ROM's in chinese (at least according to the screenshots), best to find a way to translate or change the default language to english and then install/make modifications to make 6.5 more stable.
I've got the rom hosted here:

Someone just posted it to MegaUpload .
The ROM should have a settings for English, right? Do you happen to have Skype? I'd like to get 6.5 on this thing soon .
Yes, I do, but sadly I'm tied with some things tonight. Tomorrow I'll be on here and there, but I know that you will use the bin file to flash the phone..just forgot which of the three you would have to choose. I used the official i617 6.1 ROM updater which had a similar flasher, but of course the three files were chosen by default and didn't need much intervention.
EDIT: i617 6.1 Thread

Yes, I do, but sadly I'm tied with some things tonight. Tomorrow I'll be on here and there, but I know that you will use the bin file to flash the phone..just forgot which of the three you would have to choose. I used the official i617 6.1 ROM updater which had a similar flasher, but of course the three files were chosen by default and didn't need much intervention.

Hmm... I would stick the 6.5 .bin file into the phone section of the program, but I'm afraid it's going to erase all the things that are currently on the device, such as contacts.
Speaking of contacts, is there an alternative to Outlook when it comes to syncing them? I just need to back those up somewhere. I have Office 2010 (public beta) and the Windows Mobile Device Center app doesn't seem to think that it's installed.

Yes, during a ROM update, you will have to backup all information you have on the phone, photos, music, contacts, etc.
My Blackjack 2 has a list of tools/utilities you can use before you proceed with your flash.
My update is that I'm having minor difficulty letting the flasher file detect my phone, it claims that the device is not found when it's in download mode so I did factory reset and trying again. Will update to see how things are soon.

Thanks, although the BlackJack 2 I'm working with doesn't have internet access. Unless I swap SIMs with my iPhone 3G... Actually, I'll install Office 2007 + WMDC onto another computer to backup my stuff. The only thing I need to back up are all the contacts. All the music is stored onto the 4GB MicroSD card.
Looking forward to your result. Don't forget to provide instructions for n00bz when youre done .
I've been trying to run the image downloader, but all I get is [PDA]Device Not Found as an error. Strangely enough, the stock WM 6.1 updater doesn't pick up the device even though I've reinstalled the drivers and rebooted. I've also ran the updater on an XP machine to no avail.
I'm sort of at a loss, and uncertain why even the WM official 6.1 ROM upgrader cannot detect my device. This is done when in download mode or on modem mode in USB settings. Any expertise in this category?
EDIT 12/24/09 2:16 AM: Okay, so I've gotten the device to flash back to 6.1 WM just to see if I can ensure connectivity between the device for specifically ROM upgrading. Looks like it's doing fine. I'm going to finish this reflash and then try again once it's done reflashing to use the i608 installer for the 6.5 ROM. Phew..what a night.
EDIT 12/24/09 3:40 AM: No luck still, the phone in Download Mode cannot be detected by the i608 ROM downloader. I've ran it on a virtual machine, yet it would not even see the device. I'm at a total loss as to why I'm able to ROM update 6.1 official but the installer refuses to recognize my device's existence. If anyone could point us in the right direction, can you explain or assist in why the ROM downloader does not recognize my device despite my numerous attempts to reinstall the drivers?
Seems to be working for me - I just put the phone in download mode (back + vol up + power on) while the updater app is running and it pops up. Did you have activesync installed, but the activesync process (wcescomm.exe + wcesmgr.exe + rapimgr.exe) NOT running? That's important.
I've got it loaded - I'm working on looking to see if there are any other languages built in.
I'll try later today to see if I can get activesync on the virtual machine or my XP rig then and use the activesync killer program. I take it win7 won't suffice then right? Haha..
Also, Merry Christmas everyone =) I'm glad to be working with all of you on this fun project!!
I've never had luck with Win7 and rom flashing - always had to use XP.
I've got the ROM loaded, and I was able to change the language to US English. Unfortunately, it only changed a few of the menus to english - most are still in chinese. I'm going to unpack the rom and see if I can't change it over more fully. I'm not that great with it, though - have no idea if it will work.
