I appreciate that I am probably in a very small minority, but am looking to obtain Orange branding.
(please don't send the men in white coats round !)
does anyone know what the actual files are that comprise the Orange branding ?
my reason/project is this:
I have a Trinity running WM 5 with Orange and wish to upgrade it to WM 6.1 with Orange. (apparently no such roms were made)
in another posting I have offered to donate to a chap to cook me a rom, but in the absence of a reply have decided to go it alone.
thanks to the excellent guides here I have sucessfully dumped an Orange Kaiser WM 6.1 rom,
and am quite prepared to attempt to cook my own rom by using one of the good Trinity ones, and adding the Orange files from the Kaiser.
I had read that they were 'cab' files in the Windows folder, but have not identified which,
and have found many files named DIL*.* that seem relevant.
even if I trash things, I am not bothered, as I can easily get back to where I am.
my new Smartphone toy, and this forum, have given my recent retirement an enjoyable new hobby.
so if anyone does know what files I need, you'll see me in the 'kitchen' for the first time in 45 years !
thanks,
Kevin

you just asked in the custom rom thread yesterday but have already started a new thread for this can you not wait for reply. PLEASE read forum rules about starting new threads because your custom request does not warrant the starting of a new thread. if looking into cooking this rom yourself then you need to go ask this question in the kitchen thread of the kitchen you will be using.
with respect ...
in my opinion, this posting, whilst it may be in wrong thread, is actually asking a different question.
I had asked if anyone could build me a rom, or put me onto the cab files.
having now dumped a rom, I was simply asking if anyone would be kind enough to identify which files I need to take from the dump.
if however you disagree, feel free to move or delete this thread.

Hi, i am new at this and i wanted to get windows mobile 6 on my phone....but i see most articles that i find and files are old and dont seem to find the files i want or the things i expect...i wanted to know where i can get the latest files and articles on how to install wm6 on my tmobile mda....please help and thanks....
From one newbie to another, these are not all old threads, most of WM6 threads for the Wizard (t-mob MDA) are very active, you just need to be prepared to sit down and read them all the way through.
Check out the reflashing guides before you do anything - read, re-read and then re-read them again if you are new to flashing. That's what I did and I've had no problems. Currently on my 3rd WM6 ROM in a week (for some folks on here 3 new ROMs a day is not unusual).
Good luck!
Oh, and while I'm making my first post, thanks to all those who contribute to this forum and make it the excellent and friendly knowledge base it is.

Rather than suggest my personal fav...I'll suggest you read what is included in each of the most current list of roms (I'm sure I'll leave some out but there is jaguar, black diamond..nbd..tnt....xm6r3 and many others each with their own thread)..and find the one that includes the things important to you..some are targeted for people who want the new touchflo stuff...others have a different target audience...find the one thats right for your needs.
I bought att tilt today and want to know what's the best rom so far for it
Thanks

wow a little harsh huh? why the sour response?
Well, Doug is probably coming from some other forum where a new "Which is the best ROM?" kind of post is started each week. It is a natural question, but it gets old after a while.
In the Hermes thread for example, there are multiple kitchens for making ROMs, so everyone and his brother are putting out new ROMs constantly that suit their needs. Asking which is the best is kind of like asking which restaurant is best in San Francisco. There are good ones and bad ones, cheap ones and expensive ones, it is all a matter of taste.
At this point though, with three or so cooked ROMs out for the Kaiser, I think it might be a valid question. Most knowledgable people will have tried all three and come to some sort of conclusion.
Yeah really ! why would this piss anybody off ?

Really, a good way to find out what's best (for you) is to try them out. I know, everyone says that. But they say it for a reason.
A great place to find out before flashing is to hop into the individual threads for the specific ROMS and read what's included in each and what comments (good and bad) have been posted. There's only a few ROMs out at the moment, so that won't be hard at all.
Usually when anyone starts a thread like this they just want someone to throw out an easy "The best ROM is...". I am personally using the HTC stock at the moment. I like it for now, others don't. So, you'll have to decide for yourself.
Have fun finding out!

My issue with the question is that if there truly was a "best ROM so far" available, it would be posted as such and probably stickied. The point is that there is no BEST, even with only 3 of them out there. Each is different.
I've tried all three ROMs and seem to be about the same. Only differences are the apps included, and storage space. Check them out and see for yourself.
Kaiser Roms, which is best?
I spent the last two days testing out all the variants of the ROMS out there, and there are pretty much only 4 English versions available.
Here you go, a nice summary of the results in one quick read, but i've not included the links to the files, some work for you
1. the stock HTC one - RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe (uses WM6 CE OS 5.2.1620)
and then 3 or so (because he has sub versions to remove unnecessary programs) variants of the same ROM by Helmi:
2. helmi_Kaiser_1.57.000.1_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe - a cooked version based on HTC WWE version but has newer WM6 CE base code (WM6 CE OS 5.2.1908)
3. Helmi_Kaiser_1.57.00.02_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe - another cooked version of HTC_WWE version but has selectable "activator" directory of cabs that the user can install as desired. Also uses same WM6 CE OS 5.2.1908 as above.
4. Helmi_Kaiser_1.57.00.03_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe - yet another flavour, but this one has virtually all extra programs removed in a good attempt at freeing up as much memory as possible, it also uses a newer version of WM6 CE OS 5.2.1921.
see Helmi's link for all the info. My hats off to you Helmi.
In the end, I decided to go with the standard version as released by HTC, as I didn't notice much of a difference myself. I have naturally upgraded various cabs and installed my ideal base set of apps to get the machine setup as I prefer. My decision to go this way was based on what I prefer and you should really try the ROMS yourself to make the correct decision, I didn't try every program with each version so perhaps i missed things.
I upgraded the Radio to version 1.27.12.17. -(this doesn't appear to make any difference to my terrible radio reception or the random dropping off of the radio link to GSM, neither does selecting the gsm option under band instead of auto). Thank god that I don't use 3G as there seems to be a real problem with the UMTS radio code. I just hope that I don't have a hardware fault, but I doubt it as numerous other people and links reflect similar issues to mine. We can only hope that HTC will release new RADIO code soon.
So, I wish you well in your endeavor to find "the perfect ROM".....
While I wouldn't have posted "best rom" question (as I agree, that is so subjective), that is a great help SAppie! Thanks!
Agree and Disagree
Not wanting to piss everyone off
I think the OP was requesting ROM test result and comparison, like SAppie comment, as I also agree there's no such thing as 'best ROM'.
Now, there're release with WM6.5 and others. Anyone can update this with newer ROM's comparison?
As a newbie in WM myself, some of the thread has 1000 pages .. to read all will be tough, but sometimes that's the only way. The FAQ and sticky is helpful as starting point for me ..
well i tried athineos os, hyperdragon III, life in 3d and now i will try 6.5 beta but so far the fastest is the athineos and it greaat
This is an old topic with no real constructive merit, so I'm closing it.

Could someone have a look over what im planning to do and if im planning anything wrong let me know, thanks a lot. I upgraded my last orange tytn2 to the official HTC wm v6.1 a couple of weeks ago and encountered the dreaded screen lag problem. It was so bad and made by phone so unusable i gave up and called in orange care to bail me out.. broken screen, honest.
I have got a replacement now and still want wm6.1, i quite like some of the newer features, especially the threaded txt features. I have read all the forums and downloaded all the software (and have i noticed a fix for the wm6.1 lag problem that caused me so much grief two weeks ago).
This is what i plan to do....
1 Backup all docs and personal data.
2.copy the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to my device and run it (my last tytn had the white screen prob, this one will prob be the same)
3.unplug and replug the usb cable
4.flash with the HTC SPL 3.28
(or should i use this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922)
5.run RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship to upgrade the rom
6.reflash with HTC SPL 3.28 then reeboot
will the above process be ok and more importantly will it avoid the screen lag problems.

use that one, make sure you have done the procedure correctly. After that you have hard spl, and you can begin flashing any of the wonderful Kaiser roms that are available in this thread.
Now for my soapbox:
This information regarding proper flashing procedures is readily accessible in multiple locations including the wiki, and the stickied thread at the top of this forum. Please take the time to try to learn some of this by reading, and if you have questions about any particular part, please please please post in that thread instead of creating a new one. This place is getting messy in here (though that's partly due to all the wonderful chefs whipping out the new roms constantly...we appreciate your work guys!)

thats what are new hardspls are for: to get rid of screen freezes in wm6.1. Please read wiki and all important and relevant info before flashing. The track you have chosen is pretty much accurate, but posting a thread like this will get you scolded by the mods...
Thanks for your replies guys, and sorry to the mods if this posting has caused any problems in this forum.

I just received my Kaiser a yesterday coming from being a long long time Wizard user. Before I even received it I began reading everything I could to be ready to flash.. If there is one thing i could comment on though is that it appears that in the past month or so the Kaiser Rom flashing process has been changing a bit. I mean a new official 6.1 was released, diamond roms are coming out, and over coming various radio problems.
That being said, the wiki probably needs to be examined and updated as much as possible in these changing times. Once I get kaiser ground underneath me, I will be more then glad to contribute, as that is what this site is about, developers helping other developers. For instance, the page about ROM Upgrading basically just says flash pofs hard spl 1.0. Yes the new jockyws hard spl just came out, but still...
I don't know.... Just throwing it out there..
Coming from a wizard, the kaiser it a entirely different beast.. I am glad i have put in the time to do some reading, and its good to see some over the old wizard cooks here, and excited to to test out some new stuff.
First off, I apologize if this turns out to be a redundant thread that's answered elsewhere on XDA (I've noticed several like that) but I've cooked a Kaiser (formerly a branded TILT) ROM but I'm not quite satisfied w/ my choices of packages so I was wondered what it took to use Atom packages or Hermes packages (or any other device packages for that matter) on my TILT.
I would go ahead and simply throw them into a TILT-based ROM but I was worried about potential conflicts that may arise. If there is a sticky or another thread hiding in XDA that answers this, someone just point me in the right direction. I've looked around on here and I may have just missed it. I see things like "Diamond-based" ROMs like Dutty's but I dont know if he had to do extra steps to use them on the Kaiser.
Anyways, any help would be appreciated since I've seen some nice CABs on other devices that I'd like to use on my ROMs.
Thanks again in advance.
Hi all!
I'm new here. I bought a new (half year old) kaiser with a cooked rom. First I restored the original wm 6.1 rom. But this is very slow. I searched and found a lot of rom but I can't choice. I search a rom which is small and fast include java and live messenger and better camera driver (too noisy and after sunset it is taking a picture up to 10 seconds!). I found a new display driver under development, on this page. I would like to this driver be part of the cooked rom, if the driver is working property (i hope this is understandable ). So my phone is original non-SIM-locked and the bootloader has cracked. one thing: on the original rom the tcpmp don't start, but with the cooked rom it ran. I don't need wm 6.5 but if that is better no problem.
thanks for your help!
I hope my first thread is created at the good part of the forum
Firstly,
Welcome to the forum! This is the right part of the forum for Kaiser ROM, however ...
Secondly,
You'll need to do a lot of reading, and decide based on that. As a newbies, I did ask this question too, and the answer came back: no recommendation can be given, each must take each' journey.
You can make the decision by reading the thread of each ROM, read the responses, and clarification by other users.
It takes a lot of hardwork to read, and it takes more hardwork for the chef's to cook a ROM that works well! So, my suggestion is to read more and ask less.
Happy hunting
(and mod, please shut down the thread)
ROMs
I can't say one is better than the other. I've tried quite a few ROMs and have settled on TPC Elite, however that is what works best for my purposes. The previous answer to your post is correct, lots of reading and then make the decision on your own.
Once you have HardSPL installed (version depends on the ROM your flashing as I've read), you can flash a different ROM every day like you decide what shirt to wear each morning. It's quite awesome!
thx all!
im on it. i am reading the rom infos since i registered here. but i thinked i found somebody who is minimalist like me
Anryl ROM is great but now anryl stop making ROM for Kaiser
so now I'm stuck with TPC Elite ROM... great ROM. so I recommend this one... try V4.
better you read the tutorial first about upgrading ROM, radio, SPL etc..
if i seen good (direct from hungarian ) the TPCElite needs hardslp v3.56 and i have spl-3.56.Hard CPLD-8 so this is passed. total 100mb ram? its better than oem (85) i will try this
i confused the 3d graphic driver is included?
Try any of the latest ROM out there, then stick to the 1 without problem I almost bricked my kaiser last time flashing hardspl. so be careful.. Dun flash unneccesary to much
