Descriptions:
1. This is a "little clean" ROM for HTC Universal.
2. Free RAM is about 24MB with PIMs loaded (25-26MB without PIMs loaded), amount of free RAM will varry depends on how much PIMs (contacts, messages, softwares, etc.).
3. Free main storage is about 35MB.
4. ROM contains only standard packages from microsoft and some additional tool/software, so I think screenshot is not necessary.
If you need additional applications, please install it by your self.
5. This ROM is XPR compressed & I applied a file system filter taken from Raphael into this ROM (the function is similar to harddrive write cache on your windows PC), which has advantages & disadvantages (considering that it was intended for Raphael).
This only affect main storage. So if suddenly the device stops responding (hang up), the data that will remain is only the data saved after device entering the last suspend mode.
This means the new data will be written after the device entering suspend mode.
If you want to manual softreset your device, make sure to enter suspend mode for about 15sec & turn it on again before you do a softreset.
6. This ROM has been tested for about two weeks on a 64MB G3 & G4 device.
ADDED:
- Office 2010 with OneNote => Only on Release_v2 ROM..
- Macromedia Flash Player 4 plugin

*Known problems/limitations:
- Power point & Share point isn't work..
- The Auto kill process feature on HTC Task Manager default threshold is set to 9MB, could be annoying for some people.. To disable or re-adjusting threshold, open the Advanced Config utility then enter the desired threshold (or disabled it) under HTC Task Manager menu.
- If you experience problems with this new build eg. GSM stop responding (it's not totally hang up, but something like no signal, or you have a good signal reception but you can't make a call/sms neither connect to inet) please do some experiment on changing your radio ROM until you find the version that can work flawlessly with this OS build. Because both of my device has a problem of this, one of it can only work with 1.09 radio and the other one can only work with 1.17 radio.
*Additional info:
- If you aren't use the kitchen and you wanna change the PP, simply convert the "NK.NBF" file into "NK.NB" file via 'HTC64', then use 'PPCH' to program the desired PP, then convert it back to "NK.NBF" file via 'HTC64'.
- If you are using the kitchen, simply change the value of "PP" into your desired size.
- When building ROM using this kitchen, don't forget to check "Real WM6.5 AKU" option, & change "IMGSTART" value from '0' to '350000' under "OTHER" tab..!
- Just ignore whatever error messages that 'HTC64' gave you...
- WPA encryption is now supported.. See post #46 for details...

Tutorial on using Ervius Visual Kitchen with HTC Universal...
Tutorial how to use the kitchen
Using this kitchen is quite easy (although may be a little bit confusing at first try).
OK, don't have time to talk nonsense. Here we go....
Start the kitchen by double klicking the exe file.
Next you have to do is activating all options in the drop down box:
1. DEVICE
2. LANGUAGE
3. EXT Build
4. SYS Build
5. XIP Build
6. ROM Res
7. ROM DPI
8. Real WM6.5 AKU
9. Other
After clicking on "OTHER" button, change the "IMGSTART" value from '0' to '350000'.
Then if you wish, you can change Pagepool size by changing value on "PP" (default is 6MB).
Next, click "CLOSE" to go back to main screen.
If you wanna enable/disable package included from building process, simply double click on package that you wish to include/exclude from ROM..
Click "CREATE" button.
Wait,,wait,,& wait... Just be patience OK!
When the kitchen is finished creating "OS-New.NB" file, the HTC64 window will popup.
Click "ENCODE" button.
Select project file (nk.prj) to open. => It's located under "%path%\EVK_182\TOOLS" folder.
Next, a warning message window will popup.
Just IGNORE that warning message by clicking on the "OK" button..!
Don't worry, it wouldn't harm your device (if you have the right ingredient on XIP part.. Otherwise, you guess it..)..
Next, click "Encode".
If there're no somethings wrong, a message window saying "Encode Successful" will popup.
Click "OK", then click "EXIT" button.
Well done, you've just created your own custom ROM..
Next, close the kitchen and start flashing your device...
OK, time to sleep now.... Good night..
ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

Always nice to have another ROM to test
------------------------------
@ phezthie
Let us know more about this ROM!
Cool!!!
test on g3, thanks!
its definitely working with G3. fast n stable too wit spb ms. one problem encountered thou, wifi asking for predetermined number of key and cant connect with pre-configured wireless router...
Ya you're right, & thank you very much. But unfortunately I don't have enough spare time to find solution for that. I don't even have time for continuing make EVK to work with universal. Too much office work lately, & less sleep time too.
Perhaps I'll upload the kitchen (based on Luca's kitchen), so everybody can build his own style ROM, & hopefully will find solution for that. How about that?
Sounds good, please let us know any advance on your work
I regret there is not flash disk
OK,,kitchen attached...
Check out 1st post for download link, and 2nd post for tutorial using this kitchen...
@teddybear3k: Yes,,there is NO flashdisk. Because I don't like it..
Great!!! Thanks!!!!
I'm trying to cook a 23518 build and i've a question...
you say that 6.5 nk is in the kitchen... can i select modules instead of files selecting SYS packages to the compilation?
3 days test, feedback
with kitchen uploaded (wit big thnks to Shadow of course) i think more chefs will be forthcoming making this feedback moot nonetheless, for those who want to know, here it goes....
overall performance, commendable.... no freeze/hang experienced. fast and stable though a bit lesser ram (11-7Mb) compared to other light/vanilla roms available.
tested with add'l apps installed:
spb ms 3.5
ezmoney
fingerkeyboard2 (w/o arrows)
pbar
PIM's status:
581 contacts; 2397 appointments; 189 call logs & 2698 messages (i keep it available for ready reference )
on the otherhand, some minor glitch observed...:
wifi key as earlier reported - solution? i reconfigured my router
battery status (both on pbar indicator and system setting) indicates low but changes after a second or 2..
wit smiley sms enabled, it will cause not to open other messages..
cheers..

Yes, the batt status takes about 2sec for refresh after it's suspended state.
And can you explain further about can't open other messages while smileysms is enabled?
And thank you very much for your report & feedback..
smiley
sms threaded mode wit smiley enabled
you can view the messages on top of the list but most often you will not be able to open other messages anymore. the application seems to be not responding after opening the most recent sms.
nevertheless, sms works perfectly after i disabled the smiley...

Can`t download it.
Ok... here's my report.
I'm using T-Mobile MDA PRO.
1. Boot up are fast.
2. Running apps. are fast too (big 'page pool' ?)
3. Never happen to hang up.
4. Error when try to manually change the Band from GSM to WCDMA, I have to use apps . call 'BandSwitch' to force it so it can switch the Network Band from GSM to WCDMA or opposite.
5. The Sim Tool Kit Service are work too (first I thought it can't, but then when I change the SIM Card, it works, and then I realize that my main card are not supporting this Operator Service ).
6. I never try WiFi, so I can't tell anything about it.
7. I like the Home Screen ++ (more like 'Battery Status' ?), but why do you remove the Clock?
So far this is the best ROM I ever used, think I'll keep using it.
So, keep up the good work, Juragan !
Ok, that's all..

1. What for? It's already configured to auto mode. So the device can be automatically switch beetwen GSM & UMTS.
2. Because I don't like a clock filling my desktop..
And thanks for your report..

Click to collapse
Not the Auto switching, coz I prefer to do it manually (which is to set my Network Band to WCDMA always, WCDMA is most faster in download rate than GSM - apalagi gw pake Matrix yg cepek/month pelan banget dahhh... ).
And I try it manually in the Phone Setting menu, then it says 'Unable to switch...' so I decide to using 'BandSwitch' apps.
Added new build of WM6.1 (build 21057)...
Added the new build of WM6.1 (build 21057)..
Overall,,fells better than the 21056 build..
Tested for about two weeks on two G4 device only,,because I don't have any G3 device..
*change log from my old ROM (21056):
- PP changed to 6MB
- Small adjustment on XIP part to get it work with this new build
- Something I can't remember (I love to forgot something)
*Known problems/limitations:
- WiFi can only work with Open/Shared/WEP (64 & 128bit) encryptions only, no support for WPA/WPA2 encryption
- The Auto kill process feature on HTC Task Manager default threshold is set to 9MB, could be annoying for some people.. To disable or re-adjusting threshold, open the Advanced Config utility then enter the desired threshold (or disabled it) under HTC Task Manager menu.

How to build:
Step-1: Download and unrar the ROM_DEV_2.rar. It should look like "C:\ROM_DEV" after the unrar.
You will find two cmd files (1. BuildKitchen.cmd and 2. CreateROM.cmd) inside the ROM_DEV folder after the unrar.
Step-2: Download the desired OEM's and the empty ExtROM (if you need it)
Step-3: Run the BuildKitchen.cmd (first time only), it will dump the rom and prepare the kitchen for you.
Step-4: Copy the OEM's to OEM folder (i.e. C:\ROM_DEV\OEM\) and empty ExtROM to ExtROM folder (i.e. C:\ROM_DEV\ExtROM\)
Step-5: Run the CreateROM.cmd to build the rom
Step-5.1: Click on Start in "BuildOS" and close the dialog when done.
Step-5.2: Encode the rom, click on Encode, select the project file, Encode and exit the dialog. It may complain you that the file is too large....just ignore it.
Step-5.3: Set your device to bootloader mode, connect the USB cable and start burning...
You can use BuildKitchen.cmd to dump other WM6 rom and prepare the kitchen. In that case, decode the rom, copy (or overwrite) the nk.nba file to the ROM folder and run this cmdfile to build your own kitchen.

hi again
TNT 4.0 Series
#######
last updates: (go to the 3rd post to know)
03/08/07
#######
>> please read all informations at least the introduction and notes <<
Intro:
- many of base roms appeared here and every one has advantages and disadvantages, so before 2-3 weeks i started to collect and mix the contents for every base rom to get a new base rom which has advantages for every base rom and removing many of issues.
- the base roms are 15341, 15342, and 1413 ( with some of 1437 apps).
- many of chefs and cookers using compressed of OS dll's which make the device has many and many of issues (maybe they don't know), but with this release i didn't compress any dll or module, (NOTHING COMPRESSED).
- many of roms integrate Touch apps which has many of issues, so i didn't integrated any of touch contents, if you want them install them yourself).
- i can't collect all of users favorite apps or settings, so if you want to do it yourself use the official rom then install whatever you want.
- some of apps have older version, i know there are newer but that means there are issues with the newer one.
- if there are some updates you will see the last update on the title and at the begining.
- if you didn't try TNT series before, you have to have a look.
- TNT series don't include SPL, IPL, ... etc, JUST the OS rom, so its very safe for G4 users.

WOW!!
Hey,
Nice packages you put it there!
Let's try it out [email protected]
Cheers!
I'm currently running TNT3.0 Professional but rarely use the extra apps. It looks like TNT4.0 Official has everything I need except:
- PIM Backup 2.5 (I sync via Exchange server but this backs up ringtone settings)
- Total Commander
- Internet Sharing
- Remote Desktop Mobile
- black Keyboard skin (looks nice in TNT3.0)
I can get PIM Backup 2.5 and Total Commander. The black Keyboard skin is around here somewhere I'm sure.. I have Remote Desktop Mobile from this thread. However - where can I find a CAB to add Internet Sharing? I found a couple threads that list an EXE a DLL and a shortcut along with a couple registry places to export. I can get the shortcut and registry from my TNT3.0
but can't copy the EXE or DLL off the phone..
thanks..

Bare WM 6.5 23009 Cooked ROM with unnecessary items removed.
UPDATED on Sept. 4, 6:20 pm US Central Time
Starting with with September 10, 2009 I have decided to consolidate Bare WM 6.5 builds into only one (1) thread. I suggest you subscribe to the following thread to be kept abreast of future updates:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4469872&postcount=1
The cooked ROM and files that I am sharing here are based on the osKitchen (by OndraSter) which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540704
The objective of this ROM is was to get rid of as much unnecessary items in the Windows Mobile 6.5 source files in order to make as much RAM available on my Kaiser as possible after the installation of WM 6.5. However I didn't want to 'cripple' features that I needed/wanted to have installed.
The result is a very stable WM 6.5 ROM that uses about 33 MB of RAM while the Kaiser is idle (and before you install your own applications). That means that you will have close to 70MB of free RAM with this cooked ROM. The size of the cooked ROM flash image (the NBH file) is: 54.2 MB
What I may consider 'unnecessary files' may not be considered the same by others. Therefore I am listing the WM 6.5 items that I removed so that you can determine if this cooked ROM fits your needs. I am also enclosing a folder titled "Files removed from sources.rar" which will show you EXACTLY what was removed. If you miss one of the removed items, simply move it back (to the same directory) and cook a ROM.
** General overview of what was removed:
- All of the non-essential OEM and EXT applications which normally ship with "Os Kitchen". I left only the OEM and EXT items which I found to be necessary for the normal operation of the ROM on the Kaiser. If through your own testing you find that one or more are unnecessary please let me know (as I would want to get rid of it as well!)
- Ringtones and other sound files which are not necessary for the normal operation of the ROM (if you miss one or more of those files you can easily put them in an SD card and access them from there)
- All files (CPR, Images, etc.) that relate to a resolution that is not supported by the Kaiser.
- The 'Calculator' application because there is plenty of great calculators for WM PPC out there, and I don't like to have software duplication.
- All "Windows Live" related stuff, because I don't use it.
- All 'games' that come with WM 6.5 because I don't use them, and there is much better games in the marketplace.
- IPSEC related files because I don't use that type of 'virtual tunnel'.
- IRDA because the Kaiser doesn't have infrared functions.
- LiveSearch because I prefer Google.
- .Net 2.0 framework, because I install another version that contains 2.0 & 3.5
- Unnecessary Mobile Office templates
- Remote Desktop (because I don't use that software. I prefer RDM+, which I install separately...not in the ROM)
- TaskManager (because I prefer to install Advanced Task Manager...separately, not in the ROM)
- Skybox (because I don't need to have a software store on my Kaiser)
- All Themes except for 'Classic Blue' (because I prefer to install my own themes...separately, not in the ROM)
- VOIP (because no application comes with WM 6.5 for VOIP, and therefore the files just wastes space)
- Welcome Center (Because I am experienced enough with WM 6.5 that I don't need somebody to guide me)
- All Windows Mobile Widgets (because I prefer to install my own ....separately not in the ROM).
*****
In addition to the file removals that I describe above, I made a few changes.
The following changes apply to BOTH "Vanilla" and "Chocolate" flavors of the cooked ROM:
- I changed the boot screen back to the original HTC screen that says "smart mobility"
- I changed the animation screen back to the original HTC screen that has an animated HTC logo
- I changed the boot up sound to one that uses aprox 100K
- I changed the Windows Startup screen to that of Windows Mobile 7
- I added software to fix the animation startup sound (which didn't work in the original build)
- I added software to fix the animation boot up screen (which was mixed with some other stuff that I removed)
- I added a registry entry that changes the default skin on Windows Media Player to Diamond Portrait.
- I added code to install 'Random Access' in the Contacts Screen. (allows quick access to people by clicking letter on the right margin)
- I added code to re-install the Hexagon background in the start menu, which recent version of WM 6.5 have removed.
- I added a registry entry to remove the 'tap time' that is required when selecting items in WM 6.5 folders.
Screen shots of the "Vanilla" Flavor are here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The following changes apply ONLY to the "Chocolate" flavor of the ROM:
- I added an application called 'Ariel Battery' which starts up automatically upon bootup and sits on top of the Start button showing battery in graphical and percentage mode)
- I added Advanced Task Manager
- I added a 6 item Comm Manager to replace the 3 item one that comes standard with WM 6.5
Screen shots of the "Chocolate" flavor are here:
NOTE: For those who do not like the Chocolate or Vanilla flavors, I am making available the source files so that you can make any necessary changes to suit your taste. All my changes are in the EXT folder and are clearly labeled with "-PW" after the folder name. So you can choose to keep them or remove them based on your personal needs.
And here is an Spb Benchmark test on a fresh copy of this ROM. I don't know if this type of tests are trustworthy, and I have no benchmark to compare it with. All I can say is that the OS feels very fast and responsive. Don't base yourself on the benchmark. Try it and see if it works for you. It does for me.
Here are the files:
a)You can download the "Vanilla" flavored cooked ROM (which is ready to be flashed directly on your device) from here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/125327545/a0cd769e/10017_-_RUU_Signed.html
b) You can download the "Chocolate" flavored cooked ROM (which is ready to be flashed directly to your device) from here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/125318988/6410d6cd/10018_-_RUU_Signed.html
c) You can download the OEM, SYS and EXT folders (which have been purged of unnecessary items), and replace the respective folders that are in the "sources" directory of osKitchen from here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/125334762/20ced38f/Sources.html
d) You can download the "Vanilla Flavour" osKitchen configuration file (which you MUST use in combination with the OEM, SYS, EXT folders shown in item "c" to cook your ROM in osKitchen) here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/125313279/4fdb9274/v10017.html
e) You can download the "Chocolate Flavour" osKitchen configuration file (which you MUST use in combination with the OEM, SYS, EXT folders shown in item "c" to cook your ROM in osKitchen) here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/125313240/1d2a7913/v10018.html
f) You can download the 'removed' OEM, SYS, and EXT folders (which you can use to verify what I removed....or to move back something that I removed but that you want) here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/125338650/aef934ef/Files_removed_from_sources.html
g) "List Start Menu" is a great replacement for the 'Honey Comb" start menu which is included with these ROMs. I made adjustments to the application, and I am using it personally EVERY day. I am never going back to the 'Honey Comb' start menu. To see if it fits your needs, see screen shots and download the installation cab go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4351597&postcount=47
KNOWN ISSUES:
1) Missing Notes application prevents note taking during phone conversation. This issue was reported in post #2 - SOLVED
2) The "Wireless LAN" menu choice (available when selecting "settings" inside of Comm Manager) doesn't work. This issue was reported in post #26 - SOLVED
3) Missing MMS Options. Standard Builds of WM 6.5 DO NOT come with MMS. To get MMS read other threads such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500869. This issue was reported in post #41 & 47 - SOLVED
4) Can't change the sound made when opening / closing keyboard. Look for SlidingSound.exe in the Windows directory. I will incorporate a shortcut to this application in a future release. - PENDING
TIPS:
- After the ROM loads, go to phone settings (Start-Settings-Personal-Phone) and in the "Phone" tab select the Ring Type that you want to use. You can put Ringtones in any folder of your Kaiser and they will appear in the "Ring Type" pull down menu. I put them on external storage (SD Card) under a directory called "My Ringtones". This issue was reported in post #33 - SOLVED
Enjoy!
IMPORTANT: The only thing that I ask in return for my contribution is that if you find more space savings you share them with me. I left several items in the OEM and EXT folders because I know for a fact that some of those items ARE needed for the correct functioning of critical features such as movie file playback. However some of those items may not be necessary. If you find out that they are not necessary, or you find other files in the SYS folder that could be removed without affecting performance, please let me know by posting a message on this thread.
Welcome here bro.
How is it when you removed Notes and you click while incall on Notes? Because in default it opens Notes with some predefined layout and caller name.
any screens?

yeah just started recently using it, was thinking of flashing a super light rom to see if there is a noticeable speed increase in android, the hero android rom i pretty buggy still but is coming along nicely, graphically it looks really good, android with wifi is excellent, bt and camera doesn't work on either tho
This could be interesting. I too hate all the extra stuff in the phone that I never use. I'm going to try it. My biggest complaint about WM is the threaded SMS -- it seems over time it takes longer and longer to load messages. I think im going to try your rom.

Just what i was looking for a 6.5 Bare bones rom running android hero sense ui as well
This is exactly what I want!! I was going to try to develop a very similar ROM but you've done all the work for me! I have so much junk on my phone that I don't use, so this will be perfect. I'll flash it tomorrow, then load of spb mobile shell, pocketplay, iGO, a few others and I should have a nice clean setup for once!
btw, great post. easy to understand and all the files are very helpful.
Awesome...
just Awesome.. thank you very much

I used Spb Mobile Shell 3.01 when I was using WM 6.1, but after switching to WM 6.5 I realized that if I put a little bit of work on the WM 6.5 Today Screen (Titanium) I could completely get rid of spb Shell, saving some RAM in the process and some confusion as well.
I encourage you to give the new Today screen a shot. I use the following plugins on my WM 6.5 today screen:
Clauncher - You can get 3 Launchers (for up to 9 applications) from the first post, and an additional 3 Launchers (which I created) on post 163 (page 17)

Just curious does this rom have decent battery life? Witschey

Your question is not easy to answer because it depends on how you use your device. The battery will drain quickly if:
- You keep the light on all the time.
- You are constantly connected to MS Exchange.
- You do a lot of web browser use or play a lot of music/video files.
- You keep the 3G connection on all the time (I switch to GSM/EDGE most of the time and only use 3G when I really need it)
- You keep both GSM/EDGE or 3G on while also having WiFi on.
So I am afraid I can't answer your question. For me battery life is not an issue as I put the phone in the charger every time I don't use it. I even have a charger in the car for while I am traveling.
Bare WM 6.5 23028 Cooked ROM with unnecessary items removed.

This ROM was cooked with the osKitchen (by OndraSter) which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540704
The ROM follows the principle of getting rid of unnecessary items in the Windows Mobile 6.5 source files in order to make as much RAM available on my Kaiser as possible after the installation of WM 6.5. However I didn't want to 'cripple' features that I needed/wanted to have installed.
The result is a vROM that uses about 32 MB of RAM while the Kaiser is idle (and before you install your own applications). That means that you will have close to 70MB of free RAM with this cooked ROM. The size of the cooked ROM flash image (the NBH file) is: 51 MB, leaving 154 MB of storage space available on the Kaiser.
What I may consider 'unnecessary files' may not be considered the same by others. Therefore I am listing the WM 6.5 items that I removed so that you can determine if this cooked ROM fits your needs. I am also enclosing a folder titled "XXXX- Kitchen Removed Sources.zip" which will show you EXACTLY what was removed. If you miss one of the removed items, simply move it back (to the same directory) and cook a ROM.

- All files (CPR, Images, etc.) that relate to a resolution that is not supported by the Kaiser.
- The 'Calculator' application because there is plenty of great calculators for WM PPC out there, and I don't like to have software duplication.
- All "Windows Live" related stuff, because I don't use it.
- All 'games' that come with WM 6.5 because I don't use them, and there is much better games in the marketplace.
- IPSEC related files because I don't use that type of 'virtual tunnel'.
- LiveSearch because I prefer Google.
- Unnecessary Mobile Office templates
- Remote Desktop (because I don't use that software. I prefer RDM+, which I install separately...not in the ROM)
- Task Manager (because I prefer to install Advanced Task Manager...separately, not in the ROM)
- Skybox (because I don't use Microsoft 'My Phone' and related services.)
- Skymarket (because I don't need a software store on my phone)
- All Themes except for 'Classic Blue' (because I prefer to install my own themes...separately, not in the ROM)
- VOIP (because no VOIP application comes with WM 6.5, and VOIP applications like Skype work without these files. So they seem to be a waste of space. If anybody disagrees and can explain the purpose of those files please let me know.)
- Welcome Center (Because I am experienced enough with WM 6.5 that I don't need somebody to guide me)
- All Windows Mobile Widgets (because I prefer to install my own ....separately not in the ROM).

In addition to the file removals that I describe above, I made a few changes which apply to BOTH Chocolate and Vanilla Flavors of the ROM.
- I changed the boot screen back to the original HTC screen that says "smart mobility"
- I changed the animation screen back to the original HTC screen that has an animated HTC logo
- I changed the boot up sound to one that uses aprox 100K
- I changed the Windows start up screen to that of Windows Mobile 7
- I added software to fix the animation start up sound (which didn't work in the original build)
- I added software to fix the animation boot up screen (which was mixed with some other stuff that I removed)
- I added a registry entry that changes the default skin on Windows Media Player to Diamond Portrait.
- I added code to install 'Random Access' in the Contacts Screen. (allows quick access to people by clicking letter on the right margin)
- I added code to change the Start menu to a single column vertical list. I consider that MUCH more useful than the hexagon grid.
- I added a registry entry to remove the 'tap time' that is required when selecting items in WM 6.5 folders.
- I added a registry entry to allow two way phone conversations to be recorded with any 3rd party software.
- I added a registry entry to display 'Recording' in the phone menu (shows up in the menu only during a call)
- In addition the "Chocolate" flavor has these changes:
- Replaced the battery indicator for one that shows the percentage remaining (in increments of 10%), and changes color (White/Orange/Red) depending on the amount of battery remaining.
- Added Advanced Task Manager
- Replaced regular Comm Manager with a 6 item Comm Manager to replace the 3 item one that comes standard with WM 6.5

All my changes are in the EXT folder and are clearly labeled with "-PW" after the folder name. So you can choose to keep them or remove them based on your personal needs.
And here is an Spb Benchmark test on a fresh copy of this ROM. I don't know if this type of tests are trustworthy, and I have no benchmark to compare it with. All I can say is that the OS feels very fast and responsive. Don't base yourself on the benchmark. Try it and see if it works for you. It does for me.

Enjoy!
IMPORTANT: The only thing that I ask in return for my contribution is that if you find more space savings you share them with me. I left several items in the OEM and EXT folders because I know for a fact that some of those items ARE needed for the correct functioning of critical features such as movie file playback. However some of those items may not be necessary. If you find out that they are not necessary, or you find other files in the SYS folder that could be removed without affecting performance, please let me know by posting a message on this thread.
Tips:
- After the ROM loads, go to phone settings (Start-Settings-Personal-Phone) and in the "Phone" tab select the Ring Type that you want to use. You can put Ringtones in any folder of your Kaiser and they will appear in the "Ring Type" pull down menu. I put them on external storage (SD Card) under a directory called "My Ringtones".
- Missing MMS Options. Standard Builds of WM 6.5 DO NOT come with MMS. To get MMS read other threads such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500869.
- HTC Task Manager missing. The source files do not have the HTC task manager and I don't like it anyway; so I am keeping that away on purpose. If you want the HTC task manager please install it on your own, or cook your own version of my ROM.
- OEM/EXT folders - If you cook your own ROM using my files, you will be able to identify what OEM/EXT packages were added by me, because I follow each package with "-PW". Packages that do not have "-PW" came with the osKitchen, and they appear to be necessary for the proper functioning of the ROM, but I am unable to provide an explanation since I didn't put them together. Contact OndraSter (the maker of osKitchen) in case you have a question about an OEM/EXT package that do not have "-PW" after it.
- Aligning Screen - After you install the new ROM, remember to align the screen. You can do that here: Start - Settings - System - Screen and align your screen from there.
- Move your Kaiser configuration from an old ROM to a new one - Unfortunately the upgrade ROM feature of spb Backup doesn't seem to work properly for this new build of WM 6.5; I successfully upgraded from WM 6.5 build 23009 to 23028 using spb Backup's upgrade ROM feature, but when I tried to upgrade from 23028 to 23034 I got many errors.
- SIM Manager - Left out on purpose. Read solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4372512&postcount=79
Known Issues:
Small Fonts get blurry on Titanium / Today Screen, and sometimes images on Today Screen plug-ins (such as Artesea Twmr 6.5r) get distorted. - This issue has been confirmed by other people cooking WM 6.5 23028 regardless of the cook or kitchen used. It seems to be an issue related to the Microsoft code, and I am unable to fix it.
Reserved for future use by the owner of the thread. This is the last space I need.
good job ..thanks
Great Work
Downloading Vanilla
Thanks for providing this. This is exactly what I've been looking for. The base OS so I can install just the apps I want loaded and not have all the stuff I don't care about but have no way to remove.
One thing that would be nice to leave in would be the align screen process that starts up after loading the new ROM. I understand that if you're making your own ROM you can enter the alignment points into the build but when providing it for others it's kind of pain to try and get into the alignment setting when your screen isn't aligned in the first place. It's a minor thing process to go through after loading and you only have to do it once so leaving it in wouldn't be that big of a deal.
wau the available free storage is so massive compare to other 6.5 rom
i will try it over the weekend , install with m2d which is my prefer interface

I purposely didn't include the screen align screen at the start and I don't plan to do it in the future either. But that doesn't mean that you align your to fit your screen. After you load the ROM go to Start - Settings - System - Screen and align your screen from there.

Good to see somebody from KL in here! I have very good memories of the time I have spent in KL. I was there about 2 years ago leading a project at the Petronas Towers. Really like your country.

I understand you left it out on purpose and I understand how to fix it. I'm just pointing out that the settings only work for yor device and it's a pain to get to get to without having your screen aligned. Since everyone that downloads this ROM will have to run it why not have run automatically the first time it boots up?
Just a suggestion to make it a bit friendlier. It's your ROM so it's up to uou.
Thanks again for providing it.

A pain to navigate a few menus in order to align screen? I think that's a gross exaggeration. This version of WM 6.5 is finger friendly so you can navigate menus without super precision. So even if the settings are off a bit relative to your device, they will be close enough that you can navigate fairly easily.
I won't incorporate the welcome menu because they use up space and only work ONCE (during installation); so I think that between 'avoiding the pain of navigating a few menus) and having something stuck in memory that only gets used once, I favor the later.
I understand your point, but I will politely disagree.
I just want to say great Roms. I found your 23009 build a couple of days ago and thought it was great..it's just what I've been looking for! Today I upgraded to the 23028 build.
Theres 1 issue that I'm noticing in the 23028 build that I'm not sure is something with your ROM or with the build of WinMo OS itself. The issue is that I cannot setup a sync with Google to have my contacts and calendar synced to my phone. This worked fine on the 23009 build just fine. I have double and triple checked my settings with no luck. It tries to sync..but nothing is actually imported.
Just wanted to give you the heads up!
Keep up the great work!

I am afraid that I don't sync with Google. I use Microsoft Exchange and it works perfectly. What do you use to sync with Google. A third party application or an application that is built into my ROM? If it's a third party application you need to report the bug there. Otherwise perhaps somebody else reading this forum uses Google Sync and can help you.

I set a ring tone by placing it on my SD card, tap and hold the file and it will ask if you want to set it as the ringtone. once you do this you will be able to use the "auto set" time.

Would this be something I should get if I wanted a bare bones ROM and wanted Manilla 2D? Is that even possible or do Today screens like cHome, M2D, Moto, etc. have to be cooked in to the ROMS? If its possible, will a simple CAB do the trick to install M2D?
Thanks! Much appreciated.

Bare WM 6.5 ROMs with unnecessary items removed ~ Witschey.
UPDATED on Sep 20, 2009 - 11:55am US Central Time
At the request of several members I am going to release all future versions of my Bare WM 6.5 ROMs on the same thread. This first entry on the thread will serve as the index, pointing you to the right page on the thread for the version you want.
ROM Objective
The ROM follows the principle of getting rid of unnecessary items in the Windows Mobile 6.5 source files in order to make as much RAM available on my Kaiser as possible after the installation of WM 6.5. However I didn't want to 'cripple' features that I needed/wanted to have installed.
What I may consider 'unnecessary files' may not be considered the same by others. Therefore for each ROM I am listing the WM 6.5 items that I remove, so that you can determine if this cooked ROM fits your needs. I am also enclosing a removed sources folder which will show you EXACTLY what was removed. If you miss one of the removed items, simply move it back (to the same directory) and cook your own version of my ROM.
Kitchen Used
All of the ROMs shown here were created with osKitchen (by OndraSter) which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540704
Rules of this thread
Since this thread will be used for the discussion of multiple versions of the WM 6.5 Bare ROM, I ask you to please state exactly which build of my Bare WM 6.5 ROM you are using, and I encourage you to please keep up with the new releases, since a lot of bugs are fixed in the most recent builds. No bulling or policing allowed in this thread. As the owner of the thread I will be the one that moderates the thread and when things get out of control I will call the xda-developers moderator/administrator. If you are one of those people in xda-developers who likes to police threads stay away from my thread. If somebody asks as questions that has been asked before either ignore the question or provide the person with a link to the answer post. DO NOT be rude with him/her. This thread is meant for people like myself who want to learn without being harassed or policed by those few xda-developer users who are seeking for trouble.
What I expect from YOU!
The only thing that I ask in return for my contribution is that if you find more space savings you share them with me. I left several items in the OEM and EXT folders because I know for a fact that some of those items ARE needed for the correct functioning of critical features such as movie file playback. However some of those items may not be necessary. If you find out that they are not necessary, or you find other files in the SYS folder that could be removed without affecting performance, please let me know by posting a message on this thread.

Bare WM 6.5 23409 Cooked ROM with unnecessary items removed ~ Witschey.
UPDATED on Sep 4, 2009 - 3:30pm US Central Time
Please read the overall description on post #1.
The result is a ROM that uses about 32 MB of RAM while the Kaiser is idle (and before you install your own applications). That means that you will have close to 70MB of free RAM with this cooked ROM. The size of the cooked ROM flash image (the NBH file) is: 51 MB, leaving 154 MB of storage space available on the Kaiser.
** General overview of what was removed:
- All of the non-essential OEM and EXT applications which normally ship with "Os Kitchen". I left only the OEM and EXT items which I found to be necessary for the normal operation of the ROM on the Kaiser. If through your own testing you find that one or more are unnecessary please let me know (as I would want to get rid of it as well!)
- Ringtones and other sound files which are not necessary for the normal operation of the ROM (if you miss one or more of those files you can easily put them in an SD card and access them from there)
- All files (CPR, Images, etc.) that relate to a resolution that is not supported by the Kaiser.
- The 'Calculator' application because there is plenty of great calculators for WM PPC out there, and I don't like to have software duplication.
- All "Windows Live" related stuff, because I don't use it.
- Microsoft Tag software because I don't use it, and you can install that on your own if you need/want it.
- All 'games' that come with WM 6.5 because I don't use them, and there is much better games in the marketplace.
- IPSEC related files because I don't use that type of 'virtual tunnel'.
- LiveSearch because I prefer Google.
- Unnecessary Mobile Office templates
- Remote Desktop (because I don't use that software. I prefer RDM+, which I install separately...not in the ROM)
- Task Manager (because I prefer to install Advanced Task Manager...separately, not in the ROM)
- Skybox (because I don't use Microsoft 'My Phone' and related services.)
- Skymarket (because I don't need a software store on my phone)
- All Themes except for 'Classic Blue' (because I prefer to install my own themes...separately, not in the ROM)
- VOIP (because no VOIP application comes with WM 6.5, and VOIP applications like Skype work without these files. So they seem to be a waste of space. If anybody disagrees and can explain the purpose of those files please let me know.)
- Welcome Center (Because I am experienced enough with WM 6.5 that I don't need somebody to guide me)
- All Windows Mobile Widgets (because I prefer to install my own ....separately not in the ROM).
- Zip viewer (because I prefer to install my own compression/decompression software)
- Microsoft Auto Data Configuration (before I don't need MS to configure my data. I do that manually).
- Lock Screen Media player icons and images (because that feature of WM 6.5 has not been enabled by Microsoft yet)
- Time Bomb removed. You can enjoy this ROM for as long as you like.
In addition to the file removals that I describe above, I made a few changes:
- I changed the boot screen back to the original HTC screen that says "smart mobility"
- I changed the animation screen back to the original HTC screen that has an animated HTC logo
- I changed the boot up sound to one that uses aprox 100K
- I changed the Windows start up screen to that of Windows Mobile 7
- I added software to fix the animation start up sound (which didn't work in the original build)
- I added software to fix the animation boot up screen (which was mixed with some other stuff that I removed)
- I added a registry entry that changes the default skin on Windows Media Player to Diamond Portrait.
- I added code to install 'Random Access' in the Contacts Screen. (allows quick access to people by clicking letter on the right margin)
- I added code to change the Start menu to a single column vertical list. I consider that MUCH more useful than the hexagon grid.
- I added a registry entry to remove the 'tap time' that is required when selecting items in WM 6.5 folders.
- I added a registry entry to allow two way phone conversations to be recorded with any 3rd party software.
- I added a registry entry to display 'Recording' in the phone menu (shows up in the menu only during a call)
- I fixed the lock screen background wallpaper alignment.
- I changed the lock screen layout so that the lock slider is at the bottom and the time/appointment at the top.
- I changed the background image of the soft bar so that it has same looks as in previous WM 6.5 versions (I don't like the gradient - greyish bar)
- In addition the "Chocolate" flavor has these changes:
- Replaced the battery indicator for one that shows the percentage remaining (in increments of 10%), and changes color (White/Orange/Red) depending on the amount of battery remaining.
- Replaced regular Comm Manager with a 6 item Comm Manager to replace the 3 item one that comes standard with WM 6.5
Screen shots of the "Chocolate" flavor are here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- This version of my ROM will have NO vanilla flavor because there is not enough demand for it. Most people download the Chocolate version which is also the one I use.
NOTE: For those who do not like the Chocolate flavor, I am making available the source files so that you can make any necessary changes to suit your taste. All my changes are in the EXT folder and are clearly labeled with "-PW" after the folder name. So you can choose to keep them or remove them based on your personal needs.
And here is an Spb Benchmark test on a fresh copy of this ROM. I don't know if this type of tests are trustworthy, and I have no benchmark to compare it with. All I can say is that the OS feels very fast and responsive. Don't base yourself on the benchmark. Try it and see if it works for you. It does for me.
Here are the files:
a) You can download the "Chocolate" flavored cooked ROM (which is ready to be flashed directly to your device) from here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/130267025/501249af/ROM_-_v23409_-_C_-_1.html
b) You can download the OEM, SYS, EXT, MSXIPKERNEL, and Bootup and Windows & "Bootup Start up Screens" folders (which have been purged of unnecessary items), and replace the respective folders that are in the "sources" directory of osKitchen from here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/130267970/52de72ea/Sources_-_23409.html
c) You can download the "Chocolate" flavor osKitchen configuration file (which you MUST use in combination with the OEM, SYS, EXT folders shown in item "c" to cook your ROM in osKitchen) here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/130255948/9a811b40/Configuration_Files_-_v23409_-_C_-_1.html
d) You can download the 'removed' OEM, SYS, and EXT folders (which you can use to verify what I removed....or to move back something that I removed but that you want) here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/130257293/1ea19bef/Removed_Sources_-_23409.html
Tips:

You can put Ringtones in any folder of your Kaiser and they will appear in the "Ring Type" pull down menu. I put them on external storage (SD Card) under a directory called "My Ringtones".

- SIM Manager - Left out on purpose. If you want one, read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2&postcount=79
- Migrating all your programs and settings - To migrate all your programs and settings use spb backup 2.0.2. Just make a backup of your Kaiser just before upgrading to this new build of WM 6.5, and after you install the ROM go to the place where you saved the backup and execute the file. Soon after you execute the backup file spb Backup will tell you that your ROM doesn't match and suggest that you use the "upgrade ROM" feature. Do it. If the restoration gets 'stuck' don't worry, it is normal. Just soft reboot your device and execute the same backup executable. This time it WILL finish. That's it. WARNING - DO NOT include Resco Keyboard Pro in the restoration. Resco keyboard is incompatible with build 23034 of WM 6.5 (see 'Known issues) below.
Known Issues:
- Small Fonts get blurry on Titanium / Today Screen, and sometimes images on Today Screen plug-ins (such as Artesea Twmr 6.5r) get distorted. - This issue has been confirmed by other people cooking WM 6.5 23028 regardless of the cook or kitchen used. It seems to be an issue related to the Microsoft code, and I am unable to fix it. All ROMs out there will experience the same problem.
- Dialog boxes of WM 6.5 have an unfinished selection circle as stated by me in the following post (picture also available) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4385259&postcount=434. This is related to the Microsoft code which is not yet finalized. All ROMs out there will experience the same issue.
- Sashimi 8.0 Auto function doesn't seem to be able to select the storage card during the auto install process of cabs, which results in all software being installed on the main memory of the Kaiser. This is provably related to the 'under the hood' changes that Microsoft incorporated in this build. I have reported the problem to the Sashimi developer, but I haven't received a reply and he/she hasn't updated Sashimi.
- spb Keyboard Pro 5.22 - This new build of WM 6.5 is NOT compatible with spb Keyboard Pro v. 5.22. The installation seems to go OK, the logo on the toolbar changes to the spb keyboard logo, etc. However the keyboard can not be opened and other windows mobile 6.5 build 23034 applications stop working such as file manager. This is a know issue. I have reported the issue to the developer and they plan to update the software AFTER Microsoft releases the WM 6.5 (said to be Oct 1st). I recommend using FingerKeyboard 2.1 instead. That is my favorite keyboard. To that keyboard as the default use SKTools. Here is the link to get FingerKeyboard 2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501122
- Top Taskbar - It expands on this build ONLY on the Titanium screen, and the expansion does not work anywhere else. This is a known issue with this build and it is like that per Microsoft design. We hope that they fix that in a future build. All ROMs made from this build experience the same problem.
- X Button - The X button in the bottom bar minimizes (does NOT close) the applications. This is a known issue which comes from Microsoft's design. Therefore all ROMs made from this build of WM 6.5 will experience that issue. If you want to close to be able to quickly close applications instead of minimizing them, you should consider installing the e-Natives Showcase task manager. This application overlaps a close button on top of the taskbar (top bar), which only shows up when you press the top right hand corner. You can read more and download from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530564
Fixes / Improvements:
- I have put together a cab file to improve the looks of the Classic Blue Pivot Background and Pivot Arrows. All you need to do is install the cab file in your system and do a soft reset to see the changes reflected in your device.
Here is a screen shot of what the improvement looks like, and below you will find the cab file.

ohhh new version
no download link.......
staying up a little longer.. hope it comes up soon
cant wait
Sorry for the delay in posting the download links, but uploading these big files takes a bit of time due to the slow servers of the download provider. I also had problems with xda-developer. The website kept on giving me connection errors. But anyway, links are up and everything's ready for you to start downloading. Enjoy!
An absolutely great! rom. Thanks, love the new look and feel. An upgrade to the 23037 build.

This ROM's WM 6.5 files were customized to work ONLY for QVGA devices (in another words ALL the non QVGA files were removed). The ROM directory of the kitchen and the MSXIPKernel directories are provably device specific. I am not sure about the details because I normally grab the source files from people who have a lot of experience on this topic and make the files available for cooks like me on other forums of xda-developers.
If you are an experienced cook, and your device has QVGA resolution then you could perhaps download the 'sources' directory and use the SYS folder (which contains the Windows 6.5 files). However you would need to get the MSXIPKernel and ROM files from somewhere else; so that would provably defeat the purpose of downloading the files from this thread.
So the safest bet would be to search for the ROM of your liking inside the tread of your own device (in your case Treo 750).

I have never seem a hard ware button for the comm manager. Can you please indicate me exactly what you mean?
There IS a shortcut for the comm manager. You need to go to the start menu, select settings, connections and in there you will find 'comm manager'. It works perfectly on my Kaiser.
@ather
I guess you were used to that you had on one key Comm Manager right?
Now if you want it here too, go to Settings => Personal => Buttons and add it to the key ya want.
Sort order of the Start Menu
Just upgraded to this ROM from you last and so far really liking it. Might be a dumb question but can you sort the Start menu alphabetically? I created a new folder called Applications and moved the links to all the apps I installed into it. Trouble is Applications is located at the very bottom of the start menu, below System Tools. Pressing the link brings up the 'action menu' animation but no menu. (Typically you'd get a menu to move to the Top, or to the bottom). Is there a way to fix that?

I created a new folder called Applications and moved the links to all the apps I installed into it. Trouble is Applications is located at the very bottom of the start menu, below System Tools. Pressing the link brings up the 'action menu' animation but no menu. (Typically you'd get a menu to move to the Top, or to the bottom). Is there a way to fix that?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, you can sort anyway you like; but unfortunately Microsoft hasn't included any automatic sorting options (would be nice...hope they are reading so they implement them).
To sort what you need to do is use a drag and drop approach. Basically you should use the stylus to select a program shortcut (or folder) of your choice. Select it from the top edge. After pressing for a bit you will notice somehow that it has been selected. Then drag the stylus (without lifting from screen) to any place you want. You may need to repeat several times if you want to lift way higher than what you see on the screen.
It takes a bit of practice to get the 'hang' of it, but very quickly you will manage the drag/drop of the start menu and be able to move items around very quickly.
Hey there...Long time flasher, first time poster. Weird question I have, but, my issue is pretty minimal..great rom by the way! More often than not, when I close apps, using the close button of course, they don't really close, they stay open, and I only end up finding out through task manager that they really didn't close. Any reason for this or possibly a fix? Thanks!
