Ok, so heres what i need out of a rom, im not afraid of a kitchen but if its alrady done id like it :
Default imate splash screen and default WM6 splash screen (No watermarks or royalties taken by the develloper)
standard layout, icons and feature set, the same apps imate would have installed if they made the rom (no 3rd party stuff)
little or no extended rom, or even the default WM5 jasjar set will do fine.
full drivers for Wifi, bluetooth and radio,
Unlocked, default WM6 theme only, sms, camera, video calling, windows messenger and mms must work as reliably as possible, GPRS and UMTS connections must be alright.
No preloaded operator settings
no other preinstalled applications,
decent battery life, decent free memory available
anyone able to help me ?????
Every WM6 ROM (and most WM5) has a nice startpost, and tons of info in the posts belonging to the specific ROM. Pretty much everything can be found there.
My advice: read my friend, read
FIY: If you want your device to work at its best, go for the latest version of the original factory made ROM. The custom ones are fantastic, but may not always be what youre looking for.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Just try all of the ROMs here (or just the stickied ones...) and then tell us which one you like. Each Universal seems to have its own little glitches - so there is no way to tell you which one is "best"
btw If you need stability and everything working perfectly - grab the latest WM5 ROM from your manufacturer...

I did that and there was nothing new.So I called the local manufacturer's service center and guess what I went through.Check my post in another thread
"why use wm5 over wm6."
I presume that you've tried looking at the I-Mate website (while being logged in as a member)
I looked at the other rebranders, and the only one that has a ROM is O2 - however you must have an O2 Xda Exec. Lucky I do...
See if this link works:
http://www.my-xda.com/downloads/Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.exe
If not, I'll have to upload it to my webserver...
btw To answer your question, it would appear that latest version of WM5 is V1.30.162 (from O2)

Hello everyone, It is time for me to finally make a contribution to this forum.
This is my first rom, and I have been working on it for way too many hours making sure that everything I use works. However I don't use everything and just haven't had time to make sure.
This is where I hope you will point out my mistakes so that I can fix them.
Notes:
CE OS shows 318 build because I used that nb0 (I couldn't find a bigger one)
Memory at startup is about 27-29mb free (with voice command enabled by default)
Also the storage memory, I synced my contacts and took some screenshots (informative ones) which is why it shows that number. You should get about 45mb before you sync 198contacts/caller id pictures, and not to mention about a dozen .bmp screenshots
The screenshots are edited obviously, to fit all of the icons

By the way, I'm thinking of adding fring and replace the explorer with the one duty made.
What I will not add for sure because it can run standalone off of a card is :
TaskManager2.9; PocketXpdf; Google Maps 2 (they actually update); TCPMP; ClearTemp;Backup SMS.
reserved as well just in case (for fixes and files)
Will try it out, Thanks for your work.
Thanks S.V.I.
Downloading now, will flash later today and post accordingly
Have a good one
Nice Job, The only bug so far is that it took 6 soft resets to get it to recognize the Data AT&T Network.
1)Hangs a bit when adding an appointment, Newer Build does not happen
So at this time 29 people downloaded. I hope to get more feedback but I don't expect it from anyone until about 24hours with this rom.
Pumpiron579: could it have been a bad flash? or perhaps a corrupted archive?
I don't have that issue at all I set up network wizard, let it reset and it works immediately. strange that you had to reset so much. I hope that everything works now?
Thanx for downloading and trying
I don't know why that happened. That was a first for me. See if anybody else has that specific problem. If not, it was just something with my flash ?? Everything works great know. Been using it for 5 hours.
I needed three soft resets to get the phone to start up, froze on splash screen - after three resets, its all good........
Will update this post as soon as I use it a bit more

So far, so good - battery is at 100% fully charged, will use for a bit and update some more.
I did not hard reset after flash, so that may have been my issue.
Nice rom so far - will continue to update
3 soft resets? strange. I will upload a different upgrade utility. se if that is solved. Mine does not do that. I did a hard reset after flashing without my sd card.
It may just be that the thing may have become corrupted when uploading/downloading/compressing. I will compress it less next time.
Working on fixes for things that I have experienced. will probably upload again tomorrow late night. I really need more feedback other than that issue.
How is the battery? Is the pBar working for you? camera, mms, Live office? everything good?

yes, Grinminded guided me in a couple of areas.
I plan to get rid of live and replace it with fring (all in one instant messenger with skype capabilities) I have used it before and have to say that it works, but has a flaw: while a message is coming through, it freezes, so you can't type anymore. the result may be a garbled instant message if you are not carefull. You guys think it is a good idea or not?
also, i need to get rid of menu animation in the registry to make it work a little bit faster (you can fix that in the reg your self for now, before I upload. sorry for the wait.)
I'm also about to add some battery fixes so you may have to wait for that as well.
I have to catch up with a lot of work at the moment. if you have suggestions, please post them. I will work on it as soon as I can.
happy flashing
Hey SVI,
I've read a number of your posts in a few threads and must say I'm really looking forward to trying this. I think our ROM flavors are very similar. I've DLed your ROM, but haven't had a chance to install it yet, since I'm on the road right now. As far as replacing Live w/ Fring, I'm kind of the mindset that Live tends to be a little more 'universal' right now and working pretty flawlessly. Fring can always be added by cab. Just my 2 cents. Thanks very much for all your hard work.

Battery life appears as good as the other 6.1 rom's I've been trying - do not have any drain issues here. Good solid rom - works well for me.
Are you aware of any specific issues that I can perhaps check out for you ??

I would keep live messenger. 2 reasons I love this rom, 1) messenger, 2) M$ VC. when a rom does not have them cooked in, it takes up a lot of room installing them into the main memory. I use my messenger a lot.

I was working on this rom last night and decided to try out the "Live" and beat the $#!* out of it. The oem package that I have, is not very rock solid. I took the package out, and the performance improved. It runs in the background weather you like it or not. A far as messenger is concerned, I'm not sure yet. MS is letting people download Live Mobile in standard and pro. maybe they have updated and fixed some issues. I have also been working on the graphics for this monster (it's big) so not everything is black and white; originally I turned everything Grey to save space. I added some Reg tweaks having to deal with caches. the result is loss of ram (about 2mb). Will keep you posted, and probably update another version tomorrow.
Hey guys,
I am trying my best not to upgrade to WM6.1 on my SP5..
I love my phone with its factory OS.. Though i am curious to what i am missing out on by staying with WM5.
Can someone give me some advantages of WM6.1 over WM5?
And if i was to upgrade.. Do any of these cooked up versions just install and run without any further tweaking?
Thanks for your input
Hi there,
Please proceed to my blog for step by step instruction
http://karhoe.net/htctornado
Why upgrade to WM6.1?
1) Faster
2) Alot of useless stuff removed
3) Running Net compact framework 2.0/3.5
4) More functions
5) GUI improved
6) Windows Mobile (old one) removed savings extra 4-5MB, so now you can install the latest Windows Live Mobile which has more features as well
7) and many more....
Just go to my blog, follow the steps precisely, and it will work flawlessly.
wow you have me convinced
thanks very much.. especially like the fact you have the same phone as me too!
oh hang on..
the upgrade will work flawlessy? or the OS will?
like Wifi, bluetooth etc all ok?
Everything is perfect, WiFi, BT, etc
But there are some minor bugs, which won't really affect you, you have to check the thread of the cooked ROM.
I suggest this ROM, and the thread is here

Hi
I cannot get any version of wm live to run on your rom Karhoe (wm6.1 platinum). Tried the one on your website too. HELP!
Regards
whats threaded messaging?
Means SMS is like chatting style
well i did the upgrade about a month ago..
i love the sliding panel theme.. though i cant handle the issue with syncing on 2 PCs not working and the issue with dismissing reminders..
I think im going back to the original ROM.
Or would i have more luck with WM6.0?
Karhoe can you recommend a WM6.0 rom and/or a better WM5 ROM than the original i-mate one?
I take it since my phone is now supercid i can just flash away as normal without bothering with formatting the BINFS?
Thanks again for your help.
this one is perfect

thanx redred will take look
hmm... got the same problem with dismissing reminders not working with that ROM too..
Reminder comes up.. hit dismiss.. reminds again and again until its actually past the time of the appointment..
sigh.. looks like its back to WM5...

It looks like you need to purge outlook on your PC mate. You must have multiple entries for same apointment. I've had a similar problem every now and then, where Outlook fails or I did a Sync on another pc, and when back to main PC, it screws up outlook. Have had to go and view all apointments, birthdays, etc and clean it up manually.
Also, review how you have your settings, ie "Show 2 weeks" if more than that and you have lots of apointments, it'll go crazy on u.
I've used Nitros Platinum Rom for ever and it works great. Am using now SGreg's Rose Rom, also working good(but w/o the extras on Nitros).
Good Luck!
how much better than 6.0
I flashed up to 6.0 when I first got my 2125, am running WM6 standard CE OS 5.2.1616 build 18120.0.4.0, radio 4.1.13.28_02.61.01 RIL 2.002.
I am relatively happy with speed, and all the apps I installed, etc. I am thrilled with the stability and versatility (phone is also my mp3 and movie player, camera, video recorder, messaging system, etc.).
I have heard rumors that the 6.1 ROM drains the battery faster. True?
I have heard rumors that some bluetooth stuff is not as stable?
The reasons I might upgrade include the fact that some software I put on the phone did not completely uninstall and the ROM I am running has very many features I do not want or use and they clutter up everything .
What is the consensus? Is it worth flashing up again?
looks like it was the time sync from network causing the issue.. turned it off now they dismiss without issue!
also i kinda like 6.0 more than 6.1 didnt like the threaded msging and the way you compose in 6.1
the only way I see 6.1 draining the battery faster than 6 on my phone is that 6.1's Media Player doesn't turn off the screen light while playing music. Other than that, I haven't noticed a battery drain.
flashing up to 6.1 from 6.0
Thanks. Which 6.1 "clean" distro should I use? I have collected the .CABs and don't mind re-layering all the apps I use. I would also love to be able to completely uninstall Windows Media player since I run CORE (TCPMP).

Looks Great
I'll give it a spin later. I just have issues with getting arcsoft to run for my MMS for some reason when tmobiles settings arent already in have set it up so many times in the past have it memorized but it seems to mainly be an issue on the 6.5.1 builds maybe its just an issue stemming from there
yeah, i always have problems with arcsoft, thats why I dont include it in my roms... if you want I can recook one with arcsoft installed and see if it helps your situation
Ugh, also forgot to add in facebook, I use facebook ALOT but idk about you guys
That would be great. like i said though might just be the newer windows build been noticing alot of builds where the MMS isn't working . consistant bug in windows itself i wonder?
Nice job! i would go through your sys and delete the MSalarm shortcuts. Its the most pointless start menu item. (Since it looks like you un checked it in the kitchen)
yea i did uncheck it, i never really noticed the icon stayed in the start menu

I used to have that issue with every rom I used as well. My t-mo wing is unlocked and i'm on att now. What I had to do is install a cab for the connection settings(cing_connnection_settings.cab), another one for the mms settings (cing_mms_settings.cab), and install and run the htc network wizard. The network wizard that's built into some roms don't work for some reason... anywho common sense would say that the cabs would take care of it but the network wizard i guess handles things that the cabs don't. Either way I run those items, let the network wizard do a soft reset and everything's cool.
Now I am aware thats for at&t it would be safe to assume there's cabs like that for t-mo.
Hope this helps and quells that issue.
So by the providence of god I managed to flash this rom via sd. I first installed Arcsoft MMS, soft reset. Then install the cabs for the connection and mms, then install the HTC connnection thingie. Then run the wizard for my carrier, and do a soft reset when it asks and I'm good. Managed to confirm this by mms'ing myself.

Well have to call no joy. Love the rom btw , just no luck on MMS added it and the tmo cabs , even tried manual set up of arcsoft no luck on mms for tmo open to ideas if anyone has any.

Hey my Wing is on at&t too, is there any way you could post the cing_connnection_settings.cab and cing_mms_settings.cab? I have alot of issues too going from ROM to ROM, that's why I don't flash as much as I want to, because it's such a pain in the ass to get the data/mms working.

My sd card isn't fast enough.. Isn't there a ruu version..?
bugs found
Thing has an issue when I soft reset... keeps rebooting after showing the orange windoze logo. Only way to get the madness to stop is to go into boot loader and eject my memory card and cross my fingers after I hit the reset button. This is with pretty much any 6.5.1 ROM I've came across.
Either than that, it's not that good on multi tasking, normally I run TCPMP and txt my buddies. With this rom in particular, when i get into a message and start typing, TCPMP or media player quits. Complains that there's not enough memory for the operation.
That's all i've been able to find so far, can't wait to see the newer builds get rid of these small issues.

Gonna try this baby tonite..
Awesome
the ROM is AWESOME !! great job man.. quick and responsive no issues at all. call quality also seems to be fine. the only issue i have come across is the dial pad.. the window displaying names disappears and the text scheme is white text on a white background.
hunting for a dialer as i dont have the heart to switch to another rom just now.
if someone can point me how to change the scheme / a good dialer i would be very greatful.
Update:
Observed today is the issue with the key mapping. i was wondering why i cud not setup my yahoo mail lol.. eg: the @ symbol is not mapped to Shift+2 instead it gives )
I have installed fingerkeyboard 2.1 from gianni (qvga) and it is working fine with no issues as of now.
I have been searching for recommendations on custom roms and since I am new I do not know if they are up to date.
I have heard of manial 2.5 and 2.1; but do not know what they are.
Also I heard there are custom roms of 6.1 and 6.5 but what is the difference?
To install a 6.5 rom do you need the 6.5 stock rom or can you do it from 6.1 stock rom?
I want performance, stability, speed, web browsing, and landscape slide out usable along with so it will work if I turn the phone and all sensors usable.
I am wishing to getting a head start since I am getting my Sprint CDMA TP2 in a few days. Any TP2 users here that think this phone is good and had it for a while?
NRG (aka EnergyRom) is probably the most popular ROM, i've been using it in various iterations since 12/09. It works well though Sprint picture mail can be problematic at times and I've been unable to disable HTC's texting/sms app (It can be ridiculously slow when you have a long conversation). 6.5 is a little more touch friendly than 6.1 but it's not a huge change. I use NRG's rom with sensity and CHT v2.0(cookie home tab which increases home screen flexibility). XDAndroid is also very nice (I'll switch permanently once they get the headphones working)
I have used nrg rom and have currently been using the superrom.
It's bare-bones and very fast. I had to add some of the .cab's that
i wanted but they are really easy to find. Phone has only frozen
on me like once and i have a large amount of text messages stored
on the phone.

NRG (aka EnergyRom) is probably the most popular ROM, i've been using it in various iterations since 12/09. It works well though Sprint picture mail can be problematic at times and I've been unable to disable HTC's texting/sms app (It can be ridiculously slow when you have a long conversation). 6.5 is a little more touch friendly than 6.1 but it's not a huge change. I use NRG's rom with sensity and CHT v2.0(cookie home tab which increases home screen flexibility). XDAndroid is also very nice (I'll switch permanently once they get the headphones working)

Like i freezes on texts, will if freeze if I write emails on the web? Like on a forum post I may want to reply using my phone, but my reply will be long; will it freeze that way?

I have been searching for recommendations on custom roms and since I am new I do not know if they are up to date.
I have heard of manial 2.5 and 2.1; but do not know what they are.
Also I heard there are custom roms of 6.1 and 6.5 but what is the difference?
To install a 6.5 rom do you need the 6.5 stock rom or can you do it from 6.1 stock rom?
I want performance, stability, speed, web browsing, and landscape slide out usable along with so it will work if I turn the phone and all sensors usable.
I am wishing to getting a head start since I am getting my Sprint CDMA TP2 in a few days. Any TP2 users here that think this phone is good and had it for a while?

I have tried about 15 already and have just decided 'Mighty Rom' will be sticking around. Very fast and stable it seems.

I hope it doesn't have the same flaws as energy rom. I think I will stick with the stock Rom first. Can you list me any internet, text, calling, landscape mode, sensors, physical keyboard etc. any other possible flaws it may have? Is it wm 6.1 or 6.5 layout?
Can you link me to the most up to date mighty rom thread and original maker?
The HTC messaging problem and sprint picture mail problems aren't ROM specific. HTC messaging can take 20+ seconds to load when you've got a ton of messages(it doesn't affect the web browser or email), you can bypass this by clicking all messages before replying to a new text (this opens the default text client rather than the HTC one). There are fixes that are supposed to bypass HTC messaging entirely but they don't seem to work.
The sprint picture mail problem is due to sprint picture mail not really sending pictures but instead links to pictures (you have to install arcsoft messaging and some other files to make it work). Sharky's rom may not have this problem (since it was developed specifically for sprint) but pretty much any other custom rom will.
Sounds like you already got your answer! Try my ROM Check my sig. for my PPC Geeks thread. Seeing as how that site is more geared to CDMA, that's where all my ROM action is.
Are there any other roms that are made for Sprint winmo 6.5?
How much memory RAM does your rom have on boot up sharky?
I just today noticed on stock I am unable to send/ receive text messages but can call and browse the internet. Problem happened after a few installs like flash lite, nfs shift, resco explorer, and maybe sktools cleanup has ran and broke it. So I plan on moving on to a custom rom.
Do any custom roms change radio? Because I HOPE NOT. I don't want an SAR change lol. SAR level change will be bad.
in refferance to sktools clean up.......you have to be carefull what you delete esspecially in the invalid registory entries and values mode......i usualy leave that alone unless i no for sure what i am deleting wont affect the phone.....and also just go to your file explorer/mydocuments/regsrybkp and restore what was deleted....
I couldn't find registry backup anywhere.
got your reply my friend..get back to you in a few hours...
ok...i am no expert...ther are a lot of smart guys in this forum when it comes to ppc's...thumbs up to them...what i no about this is experience because i have deleted 100 things before i learned...i no that if you use the registry cleaner in sktools it will tell you that things are invalid and so on....when they are actually valid....why, i dont no...but first check to see if back up deleted entries is selected to yes.....in your sktools program under tools menu go to settings...then scroll to invalid registry entries and at the bottom of that list you will find that option...the same for invalid registry values...if they both are yes then everything you deleted should be in your files program under 'registrybkp'....mine is under 'mydocuments'/'registrybkp'.....and if the deleted entries are there just tap on each one and they should automatically restore...and last, if for some reason you dont have any backups then a hard reset would be my advice to you.....i hope that helped .....good luck and just keep going by trial and error!
MR.X ROM! is super fast but you cant send picture mails

I'm not allowed yet to post outside links, so you'll have to search Howard forums for this:
Touch-Pro2-Tips-Tricks-amp-Registery-Modifications
I have maybe a dumb question. What does a cooked ROM give me, more functionality and features or just cosmetic modifications?
Thanks
All of the above. More stability as well. Phone rarely freezes to the point where it needs a hard reset and also no screen of deaths.

Is there any way I could get manual or at least a list of features for each ROM?
It's either on the rom forum page or you check the rom out yourself. Usually the original poster in the first post will list a list of features and give pictures for their rom. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask and don't forget to thank me if I helped.
