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

I was able to download the rom - I got past the captcha (not sure how - I moused over it and it showed english characters). The rom is here:

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.

i was able to create an account and download three files from the chinese forum(post 4), no roms. all zipped txt files. one zip has a link to a rom at rayfile but the site requires you to download its software, raysource, to download. ill attach the three zips here.

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
The OP has posted on this particular thread some instructions in a thread attachment to update cooked/custom ROMs for the i617.

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.

XDA Mobile 6 Release 3
Making your Wizard what it should be
XDA Mobile 6 Release 3 (XM6r3 for short) is the third version of the popular XM6 rom for the Wizard. The base rom is the same, but lots of new features, and functionalities, and fixes to a few bugs found in XM6r2a.
There is both a Full (packed to the gills with apps and utilities) and a Lite (not Vanilla, or Clean, but a "Less Filling") version of this rom.
XM6r3 is built on the OS 5.2.318 Build 15342.4.0.01 rom that was provided to us by InGeNeTiCs from Howard Forums. While this is not the "newest" release of WM6, it is the last known release that was built for the Wizard (ie: its not a port from another HTC Device). Various pieces of the base rom have been upgraded, so some of it is stuff ported from other phones so that it can have newer functionality. Overall, I feel this base is very stable and fast and makes a great base to cook on.
Please Note: this ROM was NOT intended to push the limits on speed optimization or memory optimization. It was made to be functional, stable, and something that I myself wanted and will use. I've found it to very quick and responsive (especially with Overclocking with BatteryStatus), and so far Battery life has been very good for me and those beta testing this. If you have a Battery Drain issue, make sure you flashed back to an official rom before you upgraded to this one, as that should correct extended rom corruption that has been shown to cause battery draining. BatteryStatus is NOT included in this ROM due to how fast changes come out with this application, and not everyone likes it or uses it. If you want to overclock or use other features of BatteryStatus, you are welcome to download and install the latest version of BatteryStatus yourself. I personally use it, and have OMAP set to 247MHz with CPUscalar set from 143 to 247 and Boost set to 260Mhz.
Base ROM Information
The base rom was an "Official" Wizard WM6 ROM that was part of the development cycle of WM6 inside of Microsoft (Dogfood as they call it). The base rom was not a port of another device rom with drivers and stuff pieced and parted onto this one, but this was an actual Wizard WM6.
Windows Mobile 6, OS 5.2.318 Build 15342.4.0.01
ROM Version: 10.1.0.811 WWE
ROM Date: 08/11/06
Protocol: 4.1.13.09
There is no Radio, IPL, SPL or Extended ROM.
What's In XDA Mobile 6 Release 3?
Both versions have the following (Bolded items are new / upgraded from XM6r2a)
Internet Sharing via BlueTooth DUN (like WM5) is back and available! WM6 Internet Sharing is still there, the BT DUN is in addition to that!
Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool and VoIP Setup Tool
Office 2007
9 Button "Touch" Style CommManager from the Kaiser

Regional Settings default to English (United States) and use a slash for the date seperator (M/dd/yyyy)
Menu sounds work by default
Pressing the "End Call" button does not disconnect GPRS but minimized the active application. Pressing and holding the "End Call" button for about 5 seconds will do a GPRS Disconnect
Internet access over ActiveSync (USB) connection works (You must apply a registry fix on your PC first. See the next post for the fix)
Upgraded .NET compact to 2.0 SP2
delayedexec.exe is in \Windows but is not configured. See this post for details on using this.
The Full Release also contains the following
PocketCM 0.9 a finger friendly contact manager
WinXplore 0.3.2

mUn designed onscreen Keyboard skin (grey/green one)
Mobile Justice (a security app that will send an SMS if an unauthorized SIM is placed in your phone)
TodayAgenda Beta 1.0
ClearTemp replaces StartClean
Pocket Screen Capture
HTC Audio Manager
CicleBT (Toggle BlueTooth on and off)
1-Calc Lite
PeekPocket 1.2 replaces WiFiFoFum
MoDaCo NoData (so you can turn off data sources)
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)
DotFred's SoftKeyAppletEx
WM5NewMenu
Mods made from XM6r2a
In addition to the apps listed above, the following fixes and mods were made to improve the user experience on XM6r3
Fixed reg entries for Glyphcache, File Cache, and File Filter Cache.
Fixed the mapping of .pdf extensions.
Fixed AltTab so it shows up correctly in the Buttons app
Corrected the shortcut location of Smartskey
Added more items to the PIE Favorites
D pad now works differently with PIE. Up and down presses on the D Pad stay the same, but pressing right jumps forward a page and pressing left jumps backwards a page. Makes going through websites easier (IMO).
Fixed the A2DP registry for sampling
Registry Entries for PIE Connections to speed page loading
Registry Entries to increase In Call Volume
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, CID unlock your phone, 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!
Recomendations
I HIGHLY Recommend that you flash back to an official rom before upgrading to this (or any) custom rom so you have a clean base (and correct any Extended ROM corruption you might have). G4 users would flash back to their provider's latest official release or the Wizard Love ROM. G3 users can use T-Mobile 2.26 for a good base.
If you use BatteryStatus (its NOT included in the rom!) to overclock, I don't recommend overclocking above 260Mhz, and the CPUscaler settings in BatteryStatus should not be set to a min lower than 143MHz (or your device may not wake back up after going to sleep).
Newer Radio ROMs on WM6 have had issues in the past (especially for Cingular / AT&T users). T-Mobile 2.19 (UK or NL versions) seems to be the most stable, but you can now run newer radios with the attached cab. This cab also works for some other providers but not for all, so its up to you to test what works for your phone.
Credits
I've moved the credits to the 5th post of this thread as this post has become too big.
Known Issues
The base rom has a bug / feature where if GPRS is active, unanswered calls may not show up as a missed call and may not give notification of the unanswered call. If this happens, the unanswered call shows up in the history as an answered call with a duration of 1 or 2 seconds.
Every WM6 rom I've tried has an issue where if you use the "Press and Hold" of the CommManager button to switch to and from Vibrate mode, that the ringtone may not play when not in vibrate mode. To work around this go to Settings > Phone and play your ringtone and your ringing will work again.

Radio ROMs
Here are links to a few of the Radio ROMs that I've used with XM6r3. Remember that Radio's newer than the 2.19 radio may require the WM6 Fix CAB that is attached to the first post of this thread.

How to not have a 24hour Clock (or how to show AM/PM)
This works on all WM6 roms
Go to Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings
Make sure you have the correct Region selected
Click on the Time tab
Click on the drop down box for Time Style
Notice the little up and down arrows? This is a scrolling region in this dropdown. Click the up arrow a couple of times and you'll find h:mm:ss tt
Thats it. Microsoft is amazing at having a 2 line scrolling region on this dropdown. You'd think they would have had at least 3 or 4 lines show up for chosing (and it would be more obvious that its a scrolling region then too).
GPRS / MMS Setups
First, here is The Ultimate Thread with people posting operator settings for about all providers! In the first post is a link to the thread where walshieau is creating an automated way of setting up all of these!
What follows is a list of automated and manual ways of setting up GPRS and MMS for various cell providers and regions that I've collected:
Attached to this post is the cab file for Cingular users to setup GPRS and MMS.
For T-Mobile US users, here's a link to a thread by Lurch with 3 cabs for the various plans. Famewolf tested the 3rd one and it worked for him.
For T-Mobile US users, here's a link to a post by FZZF that has info for your setup of GPRS and MMS by hand

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
Splash Screens and Splash Only RUU for G4
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)
If you have problems flashing the above RUU on a G4, then extract this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29158&d=1152698784 and pull the nk.nbf file out of the above Splash Screen file and put it into the directory of this one and run this RUU. You can use the same method for flashing the Radio Only ROM (pull the nk.nbf file out of the radio only rom and put it into the directory of this RUU and run it). Thanks anichillus for that link! You can also check this thread for another RUU that is in English and seems to work for most G4 users. Thanks Vippie!
Weather Panel Setup
See my post in the Wizard forum on how I setup WeatherPanel. It will give you a fixed dll with correct moon phases through 2008, new/better Moon phase icons, and a cool theme called Chameleon-240 QVGA. I dumped SBSH Pocket Weather after seeing this setup
Hermes Black Cabs that may be of Interest
Transcriber can be added back into XM6r3 by using the Black 3 Add-on CABs file. There may be others in it that may be of interest also for some. Included in this file is Cyberon VoiceCommander, Cyberon Voice Dial, VIjay555 utils, and a Slingbox patch (none of these I've tested) and Adobe Reader LE.
Turning off Word Auto Completion
Some people do not like how Windows Mobile tries to suggest words that you may be typing. If you are one of those people, jacob-mda wrote up a post on how to turn it off. Check out This Thread.
Auto Completion for Spanish
User peu found the file to change the auto completion of words to Spanish. You can check his post here for details and a link.
New DialPad to match the CommManager
The EquinoXe was successful at pulling out the dial pad from the HTC Touch and it matches up with the CommManager in XM6 very nicely (see pic attached below). I've attached the CAB to this thread, so if you'd like to use this dialpad, just download and install. Cool! WARNING: If you install this, you can't just uninstall it. It requires a HARD RESET or you have to reflash this rom to go back to the original dialpad that was included in WM6r2! Some love this DialPad and the features of it, and others don't like it.
You can find skins for this dialpad HERE.
If you prefer the standard dialpad, you can find skins for it HERE.
BatteryStatus (for Overclocking, CPUScalar, and much much more)
BatteryStatus is a very popular utility around here and for good reasons. Currently its in a beta phase and the author is releasing new versions of the beta constantly so I decided not to put it in the rom and let people install whatever build of it they want. Also, some versions of BatteryStatus have been known to cause excessive battery drain, so be aware of that too. You can find it in the Official BatteryStatus thread and if you do use it, feel free to give feedback on it in that thread as they are always looking for ways to improve it.
NOTE: If you do use overclocking, I recommend you use the OMAP Apps tab to setup Camera to be at 195Mhz as it can mess up the display if you are overclocked and doing the camera.

Included App Info
Info on Included Apps
PocketCM 0.9
This is a "finger friendly" (ie: you scroll and select with your finger) app that replaces the standard Contact Manager (although the standard contact manager is still there). To learn more about PocketCM and help with this project, head over to http://www.pocketcm.com (That link is also built into the PIE Favorites right on your phone with this rom ). Quentin is doing some amazing work on this and other cool things (like a nice SIP keyboard input that is similar to an iphone type thumb keyboard). Quentin was nice enough to give me permission to include PocketCM in this rom (per his request, you are not to distribute this app without his permission).
For those that don't want to run PocketCM and want the standard Conctact manager back you can do the following:
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
Change "String 1" value from "\Windows\PocketCM.exe" to :MSPOUTLOOK contacts.
Then if you want it back, you can change it back to \Windows\PocketCM.exe
SK tsync
Included in this rom is SK tsync, which will synchronize your phone to time servers. I've included in \Windows a special link called tsync silent.lnk . You can copy this link (with TotalCommander or use WinXplore) to your \Windows\Startup folder and it will allow your phone to sync its time after a reboot. Famewolf also wrote a Mortscript for easy install (since Mortscript is part of this rom). I've attached the script to this post. Just place it on your phone and run it, and it will copy this shortcut to your Startup folder for you.
MobileJustice v0.8
MobileJustice is an Anti-theft app that you can configure on your phone. Just go to Start > Programs > Accessories and click on the MJConfig icon (first time in you will get a message that there isn't a config file, just click ok and it will be created). To us this, check the Enabled box, then click Add on the Allowed line. You can then setup your SIM card as an authorized one, and add other SIM cards IMSI numbers if you use more than one. Next click on Add next to Report to: and setup an SMS number (wife, friend, colleague) where you want the text message to go to if an unauthorized SIM is put into your phone. You can add multiple SMS numbers if you want. At this point, your phone will now be setup so that if an unauthorized sim is put in it, then it will send an SMS (with no record of it being sent) to your Report To list on the next boot (you can test this by not setting up (or removing) the Allowed and then doing a soft reset).
For more advanced, you can turn on the Disp MsgBox at the top and then put in some text in the MsgBox text line. This will pop up a Message box on the screen of the phone after a boot, if an unknown sim is in the phone.
You can also enable RMon (bottom half of the screen), put in a pass phrase, and then turn on MsgBox (GPS and LocCall do not work on Wizards, and the other options haven't been implemented in this version). By doing this, you can now send an SMS to your phone in the following format:
+m passphrase message
Rmon will intercept the sms message (so it will not show up as a received message), and if the passphrase matches the one you put in the configuration, then it will pop up a message box on the phone with your message in it (so you can secretly send messages to the thief to possibly intimediate them (or whatever).
The project page for MobileJustice is located at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice/

Credits
I would like to thank the following in help (directly and indirectly) with XDA Mobile 6:
Faria for providing the initial ROM Kitchen that got me cooking
anichillus for the fantastic Hyper Core ROM Kitchen which was exclusively used in the production of this ROM
Dr Puttingham for the guides, information he has provided to all of us
Molski for having a nice tutorial on various cooking tools and providing easy access to info at http://www.molski.biz
mattk_r for inspiration and pushing the envelope and for the fantastic set of OEM packages
Famewolf for constantly pointing me to new apps, new versions, and posts about features like BlueTooth DUN to add into the rom. You could almost call this XM6r3FW
Those that took the time to help beta test XM6 Release 3 (Rudi, Pablo, Moby, Jorge, JL, Tommy, Shane, Ben, and a few others I'm sure I left out (sorry)). We worked out a number of issues with a nice long beta test! I think all the beta testers (myself included) are sick of flashing, and I think I caused all of them at least one locked up phone after flashing... You want a cure for Flashing addiction? This beta test sure helped most of us...
Everyone that installed and gave feedback and support on the other XDA Mobile 6 threads
Everyone that I thanked in my other ROM releases!

Please Read Things to Know:
1. This Rom has not got midlet manager so you need to install one before trying to run any midlet applications.
2. You just need to Flash Rom, hard reset, wait for customisation to finish.
3. To activate cube please run Ftouchflo.config in Touchflo Folder and enable Ftouchflo in general tab. To de-activate the cube just do the reverse.
For useres who wants to re-align thier screen after set up.
To fix screen alignment:
1. Run touchflo.config in Touchflo folder and untick in general tab enable touchflo this will ask you to soft reset your device. after soft reset you can then re-align your screen. to activate cube again just enable ftouchflo in touchflo.config again.
Reason is there is a conflict with ftouchflo running which stops the screen alignment configuring properly
GPS QUICK FIX for quicker Results
RUN GPS TEST FIRST BEFORE PROGRAM E.G TOMTOM THEN RUN TOMTOM
Other Languages keyboard fix:

Thanks to all the Pros out there who made it possible for us to flash our kaisers i.e POF, OLIPRO, HELMI_C for his quick break through of roms and everyone who else who contributed to the kaiser community.
This Rom is optimised for speed and stability I havent tested it for long so I'm not sure what bugs are there.
Bugs Reported so far:
IN THE RTM VERSION I have updated S2U2 TO 0.85 upon first boot it shows an error just click ok and that will be it. I still can't figure why its happening that's why I didnt update it before but it runs ok after that.

I absolutely love your BETA 3 ROM. I was gonna update to your final Touchflo ROM but I saw that your making a Tilt version with the newest radio which I have heard from many other users that its signifigantly better.
Any ETA on when this ROM will be available.
Thank you once again.

NEW at&t drivers + new radio

Dutty,
I am a TOTAL n00b with ROM flashing - I just got my AT&T Tilt last Saturday. It is my first mobile device with Windows Mobile - I was a "Treo Palm" user for years, the Blackberry (8800 was the last BB). I got everything figured out for the update on Vista last night - and updated release 3 of the TouchFlow beta... then woke up this AM and flashed the "final" release . All I can say at this point is WOWOWOW!! What a great "product"!! I just sent a few bucks your way via paypal. Thank you for such cool stuff! I look foward to the "AT&T" version. I'm not really sure what the "updated radio" means - time to forum search, but it must be a "good" thing .
On a side note - anyone integrate BlackBerry Connect yet? I had it up and running with the "stock" Tilt ROM (which sucks) and now I need to get it running with Dutty's version. Seems to install and run ok - but I need to activate... (getting some strange password message) then I need to integrate it as the "main" e-mail so it works from the touch cube!!!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK DUTTY!!!!!

New S2U2 v0.85
Dutty,
Just an FYI...
I saw there was a new S2U2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343256
Don't know if this will be incorporated in the new ROM or if you want to put it in future releases.

too funny - I keep hitting "reload" to see if the ROM is "up" yet. LOL!! I think I'm addicted... I just hope that I don't have to call my company's tech support each time I want to re-activate BB Connect after a ROM flash. I get a feeling that I might be flashing pretty often....

I tired the BlackBerry Connect on my Tilt but everytime I tried to install it would seriosly mess up my phone. It would install ok and then when I rebooted my phone would just sit at the Windows Mobile screen and not proceed any further.
Since then I have not tried it on this ROM or any other ROM but I might try it when Dutty releases this one.

BTW - BB Connect works fine for me on Beta 3 and the "Final" version of Dutty's TouchFlow ROM alltheway. I'll be putting it on the AT&T version to... as soon as I can download the ROM . I downloaded the installer cab from a link on this site that gave all of the links for all of the AT&T cabs. One of the AT&T cabs is BB Connect install. I transferred the cab to my memory stick via the PC -> Tilt USB connection.. then installed the cab from file explorer. Not sure if that helps??

new rom now is now up,
Remember please read through first post before asking questions I already mentioned. This is my first time making a TILT rom so unsure what things to look for

WOOOHOO ROM is up.. come to pappa....

Another link!!!!?
Please guys help...Thanks!!

Welcome to my little ROM - which I'm calling Mobile Vista. Why this name? Well, like Vista WM6.1 the newest OS available from MicroSoft at the moment, and some people say it's buggy but I love it and found it very stable!
Firstly, thank you very much to EVERYONE on this forum, especially to those who've posted in this thread and sent comments. I've taken bits for my ROM from pretty much everywhere and everyone, so I can't list everyone whose work I'm using (as I simply don't remember who I got most of it from). If anyone in particular feels annoyed that I've used their work, please PM me and I'll either remove it or credit you accordingly (your choice).
Please take the time to read ALL of this post and post 2. There are a few things I've worked hard on including that I haven't seen anywhere else.
Why did I release a ROM?
I know I'm not the greatest chef (by a long way) but there wasn't anything out there that was JUST the way I wanted it. I loved parts of most ROMs, but each one had something missing, or something I didn't want, so I set about adding/removing the bits myself. I've ended up with a ROM that I like and so I thought I'd share it. I know lots of you will dismiss it, it will never be as good or popular as Duttys, Schaps, Slueth, etc, but if one other person uses it then it was worth the time uploading and sharing it!
Onto the ROM itself:
It started life as Slueth's WM6.1 v3.0, but I've made a LOT of changes since then - ripping bits out, adding bits in, it's been a blast!

Start Menu organised into folders (with Dutty's icons)
IE Homepage set as http://www,google.co.uk/pda
IE starts in Full Screen mode
Today Screen set up as I want it!
Changelog:
v1.1
Removed MS Voice Command (over the legal line I'm afraid)
Changed HTC X-Button 2.0 to X-Button 1.51 (2.0 has bugs that caused nearly all reported faults in v1)
Updated Today Agenda to newest version
Updated Dotfred's Task Manager to newest version
Removed Coreplayer as newer version due out very shortly (so one in ROM would be wasted space when new version comes out)
Changed button settings to reflect reflect of MS VC
Changed sound notifications for SMS, MMS and e-mail to reflect removal of MS VC
Added a couple of new games - Patience and Tangled Bugs
Still to Do
Still a couple of things I can't seem to get to set from flash/hard reset. Once changed, they stay changed, just can't find a way of getting them to start that way:
Even though all the Regional Settings are set to English UK - the option in Settings still shows the default of English US
Can't get the SIP keyboard to start with "Use gestures for the following keys" selected
Screen text size always starts at position 3, I prefer 2
BatteryStatus always starts without the extra lines/indicators showing. I recommend (in the options) ticking everything on page 1, then "Show
more indicators", "Show Powerdrain", "Show WiFi rows", and "Automatically Hide WiFi rows". That's the setup in the screenshots.
Would love to change the Accuweather IE Favourite (which I never use) to XDA-Developers PDA forum, but I can't find where to in my kitchen
Getting rid of customer feedback! I know it goes once you click "no", but can we stop it in the first place?!?
If anyone knows of the way to set any of these within the ROM so they don't have to be done post-flashing, please let me know as they're bugging me!
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and if you have any comments or suggestions please feel free to post them - any feedback greatly appreciated.

FAQ and other details
Please ensure you use a WM6.1 compatible Radio with this ROM I use 1.64.08.21 which works fine for T-Mobile UK. Could everyone else please post which Radio ROM and Network they find works so we can build up a list of what works andwhat doesn't?
Version 1.1 was published at post 82. Anything before that is v1, anything after is v1.1 unless the post says otherwise
New to this?
There's no shame in being new! Welcome. To flash a ROM:
- Make sure you have Hard SPL installed first. If you haven't DO IT NOW, really or else your phone may well break.
- Download the ROM (links in post 1)
- Attach phone to PC via cable and make sure Activesync fires up and connects
- Unpack your ROM download, and run the RUU program
- Follow the on-screen prompts
- Wait nervously
- When it's finished flashing, the phone will take a while starting up - this is normal
- When you get to the Align Screen bit, Hard Reset the phone (important)
- Now follow the start-up screens until the phone reboots
- If you haven't already, make sure you've got a WM6.1 compatible Radio installed. If you don't, you'll experience problems with sound (not just in a call), the camera and your legs will probably drop off too!
- When you've got the ROM installed and the right radio installed, you're off and running!
Issues
1 ) - (Thanks to Ionutz6 for another great spot)
Even though I've updated to the newest version, Today Agenda still appears to crash if you access the options through Start > Today > Items > Today Agenda > Options. As a work around, please tap and hold on Today Agenda on the Today screen, and select Options from the context menu. Does anyone have a suggestion for a Today plug-in calendar that does everything Today Agenda does but doesn't crash?
2) - One or two people have found the phone is in Flight Mode immediately after you flash. If your signal strength stays with the cross, check the Comm Manager to turn Flight Mode off.
3) - (Thanks to cgjones for this spot)
Video calling doesn't work. The button shows in the dialer, but pressing the button just initiates a voice call rather than a video one.
FAQ
Why doesn't this include HTC Home or the Cube?
HTC Home is out because it takes up half the Today screen, and FTouchflo interferes with Transcriber, so the Cube went out in favour of handwriting recognition. Everything in this ROM is there because I use it, or like it, or think it's cool boasting material down the pub! If you think something else deserves to be in, suggest it - I can always make another version with it in if I want!
Why do you duplicate your links in Start Menu into the Programs folders too?
I like it that way! I've got the most used ones (for me) directly under Start, then everything inside Programs. To me, that's just the way it should work - like on your PC, pinning something to the Start menu doesn't remove it from the All Programs list.
Other ROMs have more free memory!
That's because there's quite a bit built into this ROM, and because there's probably lots of files i could safely remove to slim it down. Unfortunately I don't know what 95% of the files under Windows do, so I can't tell which ones can be removed and which can't. If you notice one that can be removed, please mention it here and I'll clean it out for version 2.
I think your ROMs rubbish!
Fair enough, I like it and that was the only reason I built it. May I suggest trying Dutty's or Slueth's as a mainstream alternative (although every ROM on here is great these days). Alternatively, grab yourself a kitchen and make your own ROM - it's great fun!

Looks Good..
Just flashed duttys latest, but will remmber this one..
I like the way you have tomtom and MSVC already installed - time saver.. Thanks

So, you are allow to cook M$ Voice Command in a ROM? I think M$ is going to come get you for that!

I thought long and hard about this

Good question. I took the view that MS VC 1.6 is available in several other ROMs and has been floating around here in cab and OEM for a while - just the US version rather than the UK one. I'd be quite happy using the US one, but it doesn't seem to recognise my voice as well as the UK version.
I've tried to avoid anything that might be warez, so you can't use Coreplayer without having a valid serial (which you get by buying the software!) and no maps come with TomTom (just like the other ROMs with it installed). If the mods decide my ROM does fall on the wrong side of the line, then I'll remove it immediately from these pages.
Thanks for the replies guys, it's nice to try to give a tiny something back to the community I've got so much from!

Thanks Duncstar! I'm really glad my first comment was positive, I was half expecting just a load of flaming as I pressed the "Submit Thread" button!

If VC doesn't come pre-installed on a production Kaiser ROM somewhere then it's warez unless you have a sanctioned trial version installed. What other ROMs include this?
Nice ROM btw

i second that comment on alreay havingtomtom and ms voice command already in there i believe faria a mod here use to cook roms with voice command already included! in the hermes forum!

I'm downloading it now b4 the fuzz does decide to come.. But nah, It looks really good, and mmmmm games. I probally install it Fri or Sat, but have you seen any problems with it? Most importantly, have you tried to install Blackberry Connect, and do I need to do anything with it? I am really feeling Sleuth's 3.0, But will try yours this wknd.. Congratulations on it

If anyone flames a cook, send them my direction. If they dont like the food, then go to a different diner.
BTW, nice look. Very well thought out. I can tell you took your time. D/L as we speak.

Bugger! I know there's OEMs for VC in Alex's ROM kitchen (tried to use it to convert it to UK) and a quick search shows there are other ROMs with it installed (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356683&highlight=voicecommand , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352203&highlight=voice+command , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332737&highlight=msvoicecommand ). I haven't tried installing each of these ROMs to see if their version is UK or US, but would I actually need to find one with the UK VC on it for this ROM to stand?
Surely we're not allowed to discriminate against this ROM just because it's accent is different to the others? Doesn't that breach the European Human Rights Act?
Slueth, I am happy to go with your judgement. I'd LOVE to be able to offer others my ROM (in case they find it useful) but I don't want to bring this site into disrepute. I'm going to have to go to bed now (got to be in work in 6 hours!) but if you feel it's got to go, please feel free to delete the download links from the first post.
Thanks.

Never used Blackberry so can't comment on if it works or not. I know I haven't done anything to MAKE it work. Could the first one to try (if the ROM isn't deemed warez and removed) please post the result and I'll pop it in the second post? Thanks.

I'll bring the VC issue up in the "inquisitors" (moderators) section and see what they think.

wow so could
this is the only cooked rom so far that works with voice command announcing incoming calls and messages from the units speaker ,i dont do bluetooth so i am super happy ccamper thanks bro for sharing your cooking!

at least in my case, this rom is not working with new WM6.1 ROM 1.64.08.21, the phone stays off. im trying the 1.64.06.04 right now. maybe it would be fine if ConfusedStu can reccomend a radio ROM for best experience with his ROM.
EDIT: My bad, the phone is default set to OFF, you need to turn it ON in the comm manager in order to work! I thought my radio is the problem... My oh my, this flashing...

Looks good...
I like it.. I will be playing around with it some more.. but odd thing has happened so far.
When i started the phone after the update it vibrated for about 3 min until I went into the sounds and pressed a selection.
I now find that I have no sounds at all - ie if I have the volume set to whatever level I get no sounds (and I have tried selecting other ringtones to see if that was the problem)
Any suggestions?
Cheers

do a hard-reset (keep both soft keys pressed and do a soft-reset, follow instructions). it is usually a good rule of thumb to do a hard-reset right after installing a new ROM, as you may have found out in some of the chef posts around here...

Still no luck

Good thoughts - I did try this and still have no luck - I did work out what the vibration at the start was - I had a voicemail notification that was activating - and that was the vibration.
Further tests hav found this:
1. Media player shows that it is playing - but with no sound.
2. Ringtones vibrate - but no sound.
3. Speakerphone works fine in a call - I can hear the caller and the caller can hear me.
*shrugs* not sure what the issue is..

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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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?

The author of this particular PDAViet Rom is: Microlab071966

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
retepger said:
This is a great ROM.
I flashed it yesterday and I really like it. Fast, stable and very intuitive.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

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.

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

Parley,
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.

Okay. This is bad ass.
One question only.
Its not 3G? Or is it just me trying to find something wrong with it?
Just kidding.

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