Thanks everyone for being patient. I don't have the time to put out as many ROMs as others here, but hopefully the quality will make up for the difference in quantity. Thanks to all the testers that helped make this ROM (especially the AT&T Tilt version) even better: alvalvano, jakeypoo, BulldogXTRM, shogunmark, etijburg, swtaltima, ChaOConnor.
The Wiki link follows and has a wealth of information (probably more than anyone wants to know). I will attempt to update the FAQ Section with questions posed here in this thread as they are answered.
Q-Mobile Official Wiki
Please note the following updates/fixes available as CAB files. They are available from the Wiki as well as further in this forum but I know many people don't like to read so much so I have linked them here as well for your convenience:
Q-Mobile SqlServerCe 3.5 Fix
Q-Mobile FlashVideoBundle 1.4.4
Q-Mobile Solitaire & Q-Mobile Hearts
My Customizations
Since the Wiki duplicates everything I'd normally post here I'll use this post to let you all know how I set up my ROM. For those interested, I have attached a picture of what my particular today screen looks like after I have loaded the applications I use. Please note: The following applications are *not* included in the ROM. They are merely the applications I find useful and figured I'd share with you all. They are:

From the looks of everything....it was well worth the wait for us TILT users who want to use the 1.27.14.09 radio and stay as close to the AT&T set-up as possible.

Ditto...I was just getting comfortable with Alex's v4 Ultra Clean rom....an now this!!!
Guess I'll be flashing today. Thanks Quentin!
best rom.. hands down F the touch crap
Thanks for the 1.2 ROM. Exactly what I wanted
Just flashed this ROM, and of course it's awesome!
Great to see the "Comm Manager pops up issue" is solved!
Until now I didn't notice any problems. Nice WIKI btw!
Quentin - superb job on the ROM. Looks good, runs brilliantly. It's tempted me away from Dutty's V3 for a day or so at least. Time will tell if it's a keeper, but first impressions are excellent.
Looks very interesting, maybe I'll give it a try, but the wiki is AWESOME!

Lite Version?
Any chance we can get a lite version with nothing but OS and core apps?
Even office removed? I can install it via a CAB.
Well ... Quentin, you signs the best rom again !
just question in my head :
-Why doesn't you use the new version of HTC camera ? It gives best snaps and fluides videos ...
-I've seen that exists a 10 buttons comm manager...
-why puts MSoffice : I'm french and I prefere french dico
-Another question : Why conserving fileexplorer ? why doesn't you use totalcommander ???
10 Button Comm Manager
1st, Kudos to your excellent work!! Your ROMS are very nicely thought out and executed. Your 1.1 ROM lasted the longest of any ROM and Im sure Ill have similar results with 1.2, but....
I cannot install the 10 button comm manager, as it tells me I do not have the permissions to install said file. "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions." Thanks in advance.

Hi
I don't understand as everybody consider a ROM as good if it is disable to run properly Adobe Reader 2.0.
I use a lot the Adole Reader 2.0 which has reflow mode, essential feature to read pdf documents e.g. pdf electronic books and I use the Tytn II to read books. As all you know, Adobe Reader LE has not this feature and so it is useless.
For instance, in Schap 4.31 and 4.30 there is a conflit between Adobe Reader 2.0 and Task manager (X button). If we open the Adobe Reader 2.0 and open a pdf document, it works. However when we click in the cross X to close the Adobe Reader, Tytn II crash with these ROMs. We can avoid this closing the Adobe using the command Exit; however this is not practical.
For me, by default, Schap's ROMs have the best looking.
I use the Task Manager (X button) configured to close the program, not minimize it.
- Original HTC and Sleuth 1.0 ROMs have not this problem and so I use Sleuth 1.0.
- Q-mobile 1.2 ROM has only one background, it is disable to configure automatically the phone provider, it has no game neither voice dial. It has a interesting GPS tool to observe satellites before start Tomtom and TCPMP by default.
- Schap’s 4.30 has the problem mentioned above, but has Advanced configuration tool. It has not Java and Voice dial neither GPS tool.
- Schap’s 4.31 has a better Advanced configuration tool and it has a interesting GPS tool. It has not Java and Voice dial.
- Jack’s 1.1a has a lot of interesting programs, but it’s a little different of normal way to work with the Tytn II and we need to learn a little more about this ROM. It has a program called Multipad that is fantastic to write notes by hand with a thin line and quick to write. However the physical keyboard has some symbols changed of position. It has by default Battery status and Resco Explorer v6.17 what is good. It has lot of games but only two backgrounds. It has no X button and we need to install other like magic button. This ROM, however, it seems a little unstable.
- Laurentius26 v_1 has Schap’s Advanced configuration tool v1.1. It has the same problem with Adobe Reader 2.0; after close this program, Start icon crash. Resco Explorer doesn’t run properly in this ROM; this is also a problem with others ROMs; to observe this problem, try to see Windows files using the up and down arrows; it is very slow to do this.
Thanks very much.

Not to be rude and nothing against you, but, your post just cracked me up man!
Am not sure what your point is here but I sure hope it's not being hung up on whether Adobe Reader works perfectly on a ROM or not. All of the other apps that you're talking about are available as cab files so you can install them as you wish on your "perfect" ROM...
Mmm... I don't have any problem with running Resco Explorer on my build
Adobe Reader I took out and replaced with PocketXPDF which runs much better then Adobe in my opinion.
Do you use latest builds of your software?

As I stated in my notes, my rom is targeted for ATT Tilt (since this is what I have), and keyboard mapping to HTC variant (e.g. Tytn II) is just a removal of one registry key.
Background? Different people just have different taste on it so I just take it out from the rom and let people add whatever they like later.
For X Button, HTC's one is probably the worest I ever use. User unfriendly, too less function for too many memory use compare to Wisbar, SPB close button, WKTASK, ... etc. BTW, QuickMenu in my rom has this feature too.
Unstable? Can you give more detail?
For PDF file, you may want to check out Piscel Browser. Much better than Pocket Adobe IMHO.
There is no best or perfect rom (unless you build one for yrself). Only ROMs that will serve some people the most.
To get the perfect ROM
Hi Sherpa, Moi5508 and ROMs makers
Excuse me to insist.
I wish to thank very much to all ROMs makers. My goal is indeed to give my contribute to get a perfect ROM. Unfortunately I don’t know to make a ROM.
I know we can customize any ROM of Tytn II with cabs. However, for me, makes no sense to have by default in a ROM a Task Manager (X button) to close the programs and we can not use it; we need instead to install other like e.g. Magic Button because the default X button crash Tytn II.
In my job, in a Project department in a shipyard, we need to read lot of reports, rules, catalogues, books, etc, which usually are in a pdf format and Word format. That´s the reason why Adobe Reader 2.0 with reflow feature is so important.
I think that Tytn II is to use mainly for professional purpose like a PC as it is a Pocket PC, not only like a phone or a GPS, and so on.
Lot of members are preoccupied with amount of memory and request Big Storage taking off important software and lot of customize possibility, resulting in a big work and time, loading cabs, installing and testing them.
I think that, even if we don’t use them usually, a good ROM must have by default, software we normally have in a PC.
Original HTC ROM, unfortunately has bugs, but it has practically most of the important software we need to use in a professional environment, less the Adobe Reader 2.0, I don’t know why as it’s free.
For me makes no sense to reduce the capability of Tytn II. On the contrary we must to increase its possibility e.g. with a decent Internet Explorer and others like a PC. For instance we need Java to install mini Opera.
Thanks

Hi Laurentius26 - PocketXPDF & Resco
Hi Laurentius26
Thanks very much for your answer.
Resco Explorer runs well in your ROM when folder has few files. At Windows folder which has thousands of files is noticeable what I mentioned, it’s slow using the up and down arrows; at list in my Tytn II WWE Europe one.
I don’t know PocketXPDF. Can you please tell me if this one has reflow mode (to read a pdf it only move up and down because reflow split a long text line in several small ones that match display size.
Please tell us the site to find it.

Hi jackleung - Multipad is fantastic
Hi jackleung
Thanks very much for your answer.
As I said, your ROM is very interesting as it has lot of useful software by default; as it is a little unusual I feel that I need more time to learn to use it; may be I was using wrongly the software and I found a little instability, my fault; as I use Tytn II in a professional environment, like a PC, I have few time to learn using it and test all features.
Multipad is fantastic; please tell us the site where is the cab.
You said "Piscel Browser. Much better than Pocket Adobe IMHO". Where is the cab please. Has it reflow mode, I mentioned in the previous (above) post, as Adobe Reader 2.0?
Thanks very much

For multipad, you can just copy the exe file from my rom, no cab or installation is needed. For Piscel, I am not sure what is reflow mode, but you drag, scroll, zoom in/out with just yr finger motion. (This feature is long before Iphone or HTC FLoflow exist). U can check out this site for detai: http://www.picsel.com/index.php/solutions/view/C11/ For cab, you probably can search this site or google for it.
In the Windows directory it's always slow reading, that's not a problem of Resco. If you use the default explorer you have the same issue.
PocketXPDF you can find here:
http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net
All info can be found there as well.

Leo

But you will see a BIG different if you need to sort the file, resco return almost instantly and Windows could takes couple mins to finished.
For Resco, it make a big different if you check "hide file in rom" (why we need to see files that we can't change anyway?)
There are a few PDF viewers out there for the PDA. To be honest I include Adobe LE in mine because I was comparing it with the older Clearvue--and Adobe LE is INCREDIBLY faster on large document loads and viewing than Clearview was.
There is now two others (the XPDF mentioned here and another that escapes me at the moment) which people claim to be superior to even Adobe LE. One day I'll get around to testing them and see if that is true for speed in a large document as well (the most useful to me).
But right now I'm happy with the default feature set of my ROM, everything works together without crashing and people can easily add specific things they like to their device to make it run the way they want. The next planned update of Q-Mobile won't be until HTC releases an update that fixes some major issues (better drivers for the MSM7200 to improve battery life, video performance, etc). Or windows mobile 6.1 professional becomes available

after testing almost all the cooked roms I actually settled down on yours! Thank you again!
Adobe Reader 2.0 reflow feature is indispensable
Hi
I know ClearView and Adobe Reader LE (Light Edition). These pdf readers are useless as they have not reflow mode.
Adobe Reader 2.0 is free and has reflow mode.
This feature takes e.g. a A4 text size, e.g. letter size 10 or 12, and in each A4 line, it split the long original line is several small lines in order each small line match the Pocket PC display size. In this way, to read the text, we only need to move the text up or down; it is not necessary to move the text to left or right.
Furthermore by each click in the D-pad it moves a complete pocket display page up or down permiting to read a document or a book in a very confortable way.
Adobe Reader full version compared to LE version is HUMONGOUS! Blah!
PocketXpdf is worst than Adobe Reader 2.0
I gave it a try to PocketXpdf and this is worst than Adobe Reader 2.0 (don't make confusion with Adobe Reader LE which is very bad).
PocketXpdf is slow, it has a little feature like reflow from Adobe Reader 2.0, but it's slow, and the pages scrolling is very bad, when compared with Adobe Reader 2.0.
I please ask to ROM makers that (when they put by default the X button from HTC (Task Manager), and the user configure it to close the programs) please test in their ROMs, if Adobe Reader 2.0 when it is closed using the X upper right display corner icon, doesn't crash Tytn II.
I remenber that HTC original and Sleuth 1.0 ROMs works perfectly in this point, and so there must be something in others ROMs to appear the problem.
I would like very much to use others of your ROMs, whose are fantastics, and I'm disable due to this problem.
Thanks
cribeiro
From my point of view the PDF readers in cooked ROMs are there just to be able to read some PDF if needed, not to do supa-dupa magic with it. It's your option to install different PDF reader that suits you well.
You are saying that after closing the Adobe Reader (full) it crashes your phone.
Have you tried different Task Manager?
I'm using Q-Mobile 1.2 as in my opinion it is closest to the stock ROM but with MUCH better improvements, speed and stability.
Try this one and try installing different task managers, maybe you will find one that fits you best without crashes.
My 2 cents...
where can i find different task managers... i also want to use my tilt to read ebooks and i understand where he is coming from. i would love to get my rom'd tilt to run 2.0 or even find half way decent TTS software to read it to me while i drive... i have already converted the last 4 books i have read to word using my adobe 7.0 pro but that is a pain to have to do before every book.
Formally reopening this service up again. Went down for a few months for a few reasons (platformbuilder kitchen, WM6.5, personal life, etc.) Thanks to good old great friend Joshkoss and Twopumpchump, i'm back. With that being said, there are a few new rules i'd like to try and implement first:
-Users must have a minimum of 30 posts to post a request. The reason being is that i get a lot of first time posters (no offense to anybodY) requesting a ROM and then you never hear of them again. Of course there are exceptions (like if i've known you on the site or know you're legit).
-Please don't ask me to build a ROM like "so and so's ROM" minus this and plus that. I have one build and i'll go by that; i'll try my best to make the ROM run per your request.
-Don't PM me your request, i'll most likely overlook it.
-Including CABs or OEMs of your wanted programs/games would be REALLY helpful, especially with the rare programs out there.
-Only doing requests for WM6.5. If you really want a WM6.1 ROM and have a valid reason for it (i don't want to upgrade to WM6.5 yet or WM6.5 is too buggy aren't valid reasons), i'll cook it (say a medical program only works with WM6.1, then i'll consider cooking the ROM).
-If you see 3 unfulfilled request, PLEASE do not post yours. This demotivates me to even get started, seeing there's a lot to do. Once i've fulfilled the previous ones, feel free to post.
-I will not customize the ROM aesthetically. Meaning if you like a set of icons, dialer, color, etc. i'm not going to change everything just for that, you can do that yourself.
-Lastly, don't give me a list that takes up a whole page, that really puts your request at the lowest priority. A LOT of apps/games people request can be installed on the storage card so please do so.
-Only time i will recook a ROM is if i'm at fault or have no other pending requests.
Most chefs tend to cook what the majority of the people like including myself. When i cooked my first ROM and asked people for feedback/suggestions, i did get a few programs that everybody liked but there were many suggestions of programs that each different user liked. So i could have cooked Livcast in which Joe wanted, but Mary wouldn't use it at all; that kind of thing
Programs: Pick and choose (remember that many of the programs you may choose could save yous pace by insalling on the memory card)
Games: Pick and choose (remember that many of the games you may choose could save yous pace by insalling on the memory card)
Other: Whatever else you'd like.
Preferred Upload Host: Have problems with RS? No problem, just tell me the site and i'll upload it there.
This is 100% free and i'd like to help as much as I can, but if you can/are able to, i have paypal at ksallstar2013 at yahoo.

I think it's not so good to include software in roms who need to be licensed, cause many people won't need them and so you have software in your rom you won't use and if you wan't you first have to activate it.
Freeware in roms is much better in my opinion, and if someone want to have another software he easy could install it self.

that's why he said custom made, meaning, you request it he will do it for you, and you can add your registry on your own.

Lol ahassouna, that's quite a bit, but i will get to it as soon as i can. As said, these are custom ROMs so if you request a commercial program, YOU will HAVE to provide the key, i wont do any of that. I'll fulfill requests in the order i get them so be patient with me I have to manage all the OEMs, cook the ROM, edit the files, upload, etc. Also, if you have a preferred uploading host, please include that as well.

Come to think about it, are you sure you want ALL of those in the ROM? Remember, if they are in the ROM, they go in the main memory and you can't move them to the storage card. If i include all those, you wont have a lot of free storage left.

Do you want Opera Mini or Opera Mobile because you said Opera Mini 9.5 (that's a hybrid )

i meant the newest opera 9.5, the one on the official site ^^
The build thing is going to be a bit tricky so i updated the OP with info that'll be more helpful. Just choose one of them.
Before I can even ask what I want, I must start off by saying thank you for your contribution. There are so many cooks out here that don't even listen to posts asking what you want, they just cook. I have tried cooking, but I can never dump the builds I want to use.
I'm on ATT's network, so I prefer to stay on an ATT based ROM.
I'm not sure what the latest build is, but from I see, build 19214 looks pretty stable, or any ATT build you know that works well.
Based on WM6.1
The radio I seem to like is 1.65.20.06, but 1.65.20.29 would be fine.
Just as an outlook, I only have SMS no data. So I prefer to have the Modaco NoData app or just have no connection setups.
The HTC Home
Skyfire (I have a beta user name and password)
JiveTalk
Opera 9.5 (latest build)
HTC Camera Album
Office Mobile
Nadavi Camera
Tilt Keyboard Fix
Windows Media Player
Registry Fix: ATT Tilt Keyboard Fix
{Edit}
D3D would probably improve performance?
A Network Browser Plugin to view Shared Network Files
iPhone dialer
{/Edit}
Mirror Does not Matter, Rapid Share is always great
Once again Thanks in Advance

Great, but if you want to go off the ATT 6.1, you'll have to wait because it's not up yet. I can do the 6.1 from HTC if you want? Otherwise, you'll have to go with either HTC 6.1 or ATT 6.0. Also, would this dialer be okay or do you want the specific iphone one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396505&highlight=DIAMOND+DIALER ?

I know it's not out yet. And with previous ATT upgrade experiences, it probably won't be for a while. I meant like the leaked ATT builds like, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400276 for example. BTW. That's the exact iPhone dialer I was referring to I've found it to be very touch responsive.

Hi folks,
Like the title says,
I'm new to winmo after a hiatus of over 4 years. Loving my HD2/Leo (after sorting out some teething problems!).
I know there are hundreds if not thousands of apps that will work with the Leo but I would love to hear from seasoned winmo users; what are the first 5 3rd party apps you load up on your new device ......and more importantly, why?
Freeware is always good but I don't mind spending money on an application that does the job right.
So, what are your "Desert Island Apps"?
The apps you can't live without?
The apps that show off the functionality of Windows Mobile?
The apps that just "get things done" & of course the apps that are good for relaxation/entertainment..
Do tell!
Cheers,
wab.
Resco explorer, Skype, Palringo, SPB Traveler, Pocketmusic, iGO8, Opera, CorePlayer
Thanks for the quick first response, just like your name
Why those apps? Why Pocketmusic over HD2's built in one for example (though I think I know the answer to that!).
Didn't know skype app worked on the Hd2. Must investigate!
Cheers,
wab
hi
1) Resco explorer - best file explorer
2) Core player - best divx, flv, avi media player
3) Igo8 - my fav satnav
4) Spb backup - name says all
5) Experiment 13, Resco bubbles - gaming
I have just 1 app. which has travelled with me for a long, long time and has seen many devices, started with the old Windows CE Philips Velo: PhatNotes.
Oh yeah, and ListPro (of cause ...)
The rest is subject to changes. Changes that are mainly influenced by the device I'm using. Right now, I'm trying to substitute as many apps as possible for finger-friendly apps.
Cheers folks. Yes, Finger Friendly is good!! I like how the new 1.48 ROM seems to have pinch/zoom in more old apps. PhatNotes and List Pro I have to check out!
Keep 'em coming.
For me right now
1 - Mobipocket Reader/AlReader - For eBooks
2 - Pocket Informant - For PIM and GTD
3 - The Channer/CorePlayer - For Watching TV (when it works) and Media files
4 - Sugarsync - For Files on the go/sync'd to work computer
5 - YoMo Media - For RSS feeds
Above list subject to dramatic change based on suggestions in this thread!
Of cause, how could I forget Mobipocket. A pity though that browsing by tapping on the screen is such a hassle with the responsive screen of the HD2. Although I defined a big margin, I couldn't help selecting text so now and then instead of tapping to go page up or down.
But don't let me kidnap this thread... keep the suggestions comming
Just on that appelflap, in mobipocket, if you go to menu>options>general and under "Default selection action" change that to "None", its then a lot easier to change pages.
I've mine set up with the orientation and full screen icons visible at the bottom on app start (uncheck "Use Windows Mobile 2005 Softkeys" in toolbars tab to see these).
I then use icons to rotate screen and then enable full screen and then it works fine.
I can't go back to "normal screen" from here but its easy to hit the home button and open app again to get back to non full screen mode. I usually just hit home when I finish reading anyway and leave it in the background until I get a chance to read again.
Hope that makes sense and helps!
But anyway, on with the indispensible app finding!
Like appelflap said, keep those suggestions coming, especially for noobies (and there are a lot I think since Leo came out!!).
Resco Explorer - best explorer for me
Alreader2 - for .fb2 books
Navitel - for navigation
PhatPad - for notes
More or less these are my top 5:
1. Resco Expolrer - Best file explorer for me
2. CorePlayer - Plays most videos decently
3. iGo - For navigation
4. MobiReader - Best ebook reader overall. Desperately needs update.
5. Sentry 2020 - Fast encryption software.
Ok here's mine..:
1)Resco Explorer~far the best
2)iGo8~for satnav
3)CorePlayer~for playing most video formats(Althought i think the WMP is better for just playing a video on MPEG format,it has better viewing quality)
4)SpriteBackup~backup prog works very well for me
5)e-Natives Showcase~The best taskmanager for the one that is missing on the Leo!
1. iGO8 for SatNav
2. Pocket Informant as PIM
3. Resco Explorer with Reco Registry Plugin as File explorer
4. Pocket Mechanic to defrag Storage Card
5. The New Resco Photo Manager to resize, correct, enhance your pics before sending...
1. Rungps
2. Mortplayer
3. Resco explorer
4. Opera
5. Oziexplorer
Resco Photo Manager looks great! nice one!

TURNS OUT:
1.3.6 is not designed for use in a Snap Dragon CPU.
Core Player opens up, but pressing the Play button causes a total freeze "of the entire unit, then only a soft reset the unit back to life.
tHIS DOES HAPPEN..twice to me, and removed it..reportedly the community is wating for the release of Coreplayer 2.0, said to take care of the incompatabilities with 1.36. Guess I am waiting too...
Actually I opted to can Core playerand got Kinoma Play.
I'd used and liked Wisbar 3 but not in the HD2! Turns out that Lakeridge is beta testing version 4 for WM 6.5 right now.
Mine are:
eWallet
Resco Explorer
Pocket Informant
Phat Notes
Sprite Backup Full Version 6.5.5 bld 1
Sorry 'bout all the added info but there's my 5.
Take Care
I've been using Coreplayer v1.3.5 build 7340.
Never had any freezes or had to soft reset.
