.NET CF 3.5 working fine in this ROM?

actually i don't know
if kamikadze added .net 3.5, it should work
otherwise i didn't add .net 3.5 so it won't work

i don't know why my Dopod 577w runs out of battery so quick ? With WM6.1 Standard, it lasts around 2 days but now with this WM6.1 Pro, it is only 1 day.
Another bug is the wrong in battery status report. Sometimes it said the battery is about 70-80% but just a call (around 5 minutes), the phone is off because no battery left
anybody, please help

lots more coming especially for stability and more free storage memory
but first i want to implement sdhc driver, but i don't have sdhc card, i need some help

also i need to know who wants office?
if many people use office, i won't remove it
if not i will remove
actually, it doesn't increase storage memory as what i expected(actually it seems not a single byte, probably i'm doing something wrong )

did you put the sdhc drivers on this ROM?And yes will be great to have office on this version of wm 6.1 ROM

no i didn't put in this rom but i will send the cab file of driver
if it works, i will implement, if not i will try to find another driver

ok please poste the cab driver here

Post some screenshots also!

even if i use g'reloc or not, removing programs doesn't increase free storage memory
so i decided to implement some software that you'll choose
please post your requests

So search for vanilla flavored Roms There are many... just SEARCH!!!

Are you sure about that? The only bare-bones recent WM6.1 ROM build I see is j.vd.spank's "WM 6.1 CE OS.19588 from Diamond", and that one has a few issues that were never fixed.
It might be nice to see a truly clean 20273 ROM.

It is too much vanillas please!!!!
TNT 20273 vanilla
yes that 19588!
AMP is 6.1 too...
Search people search....
But... tell me... honestly... Is there any Coocked ROM that is Perfect!????
That comment maybe starts fire on this web men!!! but I dont think so... just words...

TNT is new but even the vanilla version is far from "clean". AMP is older and no cleaner. No ROM is perfect, of course, but I really think evoluzionne's request is valid... and probably easily satisfied. Making a fully customized ROM must be more challenging (albeit more satisfying) than a naked version.

I used to be a believer in vanilla ROMs, but I have found that any ROM space that goes unused is just wasted. Cook your own ROM and pack it to the MAX to utilize all the space that's available. Tweak it as you find problems and recook.
The Wizard ROM holds about 80 megs (this total will decrease if you put compressed files in your ROM), but if you only cook 60 megs into it, you cannot reclaim that wasted 20 megs. You might as well use it.
I have been on a space saving crusade for the last 3 weeks and realized that my vanilla ROM was just a big waste of space. You can test it yourself by cooking a fully packed ROM, and a vanilla ROM, and check the free space for each after the first boot. (it usually says about 2 megs of storage RAM has been used. This is from initflashfiles copying files from ROM into RAM.)
During this time I also realized I could use the Extended_Rom to store some system files! I have put NetCF3.5, SqlCE3.5, and TCPMP on the Extended_Rom, and it's working great. This saves me 10 megs, my cooked ROM has over 80 APPs (before UC)! It's as fast and stable as any ROM I've tried.

-joemanb-
ahh that really what i want.. so i want a basic ROM of 6.1 so that i will able to cook it to match my own need....
(basically i often using office, email, music player, etc)
but i realize that i just cannot to just ask for it to anybody (search, search......)
wish me luck
cheers

That's a pretty good point. Clutter is bad regardless, and I strive for its elimination, but it is important to realize that unused ROM space doesn't translate into available storage space.

[Release] JustStableV2 Build 5 Micro Edition (73+mb FREE storage | 32+MB of FREE RAM)

Version 2: Changelog:
4MB pagepool - almost 33mb of free RAM
Based off of JustStableV2's Build 5 (unreleased) - Everything updated in JustStableV2 Build 4 also in this build
Based off of 5.2.21048
More of the ULDR partition removed. Now it's COMPLETELY gone.
Still LZX compressed and stripped on non-essentials
Also included: IS versions. (Internet Sharing)
This is a version of JustStable with the following changes:
1. Stripped of ALL non-essential programs. (Including NetCF.)
2. LZX compressed
3. ULDR removed!!! A first for the Herald. This saves around 3MB that is normally used as storage for “windows updates” which are never released. lol
All in all you get:
74+mb FREE of Storage Space!
29-30MB FREE of RAM WITH a 6mb pagepool
Due to the removal of the ULDR, the pagepool CANNOT be changed. (Although, I haven’t tried using the old way of changing the pagepool…)
Get the newest version here. (Click on the JustROMs link.)
Warning: This HAS to be flashed through an SD card.

Let me be the first to say Thank you so much Ivan. This is the micro ROM I've been waiting for. I can't even describe this ROM in words yet. It's an extremely fast installation because it's so clean. With the latest ioLite Manila2D installed, it still runs 22MB of free RAM. This is the best you'll get I assure you with the Herald if you are into the Manila2D thing like myself.
Question: Have you tried using 4MB Pagepool with your JustStable, Ivan? How well did it run? Will the Herald get more free RAM if so?

Micro ROM
Ivan this is super. I love this micro rom. Wow its super fast. Thanks!
I love it cuz I can put on just what I want. How the Hell did you get soooo much Memory? Awesome!

Yes. I ran fine. I chose 6mb to cover myself from people running huge programs.
Just use a pagepool changer on the NBH file and you can set it to 4mb before you flash it.

Yeah, I tried using a PagePool Changer but it didn't work. It's grey out and you mentioned it on your post prior to my download and attempt to changing it. That is why I'm requesting a 4MB PagePool if possible. But even at 6MB, it's has incredible amount of free RAM for the herald with the latest Manila2D that is a resource hog compared to older versions like in Tran's OTP.

Manila2D has always been a memory hog.
Are you using the newest version of pagepool changer? The first time I did it, it didn't work, the second time, with a different version, it worked.

Thanks Ivan. I downloaded the newer version of PagePool Changer from Sept 08 and it worked. With just Manila2D installed, it's at 26MB! A clean install with JustStable at 4MB PagePool gives 31MB of free RAM. This is the most free storage/ram anybody has ever created for this phone. You are a true asset to this forum and HTC/Micosoft should be paying you if they keep selling the Herald/Wing .

yes i did. everything else works really really well. except the " ; " key for some reason. mms and sms im'ing are huge for me. i average 10,000 text a month. without a data plan i like oz because it works with my unlimited msging plan
using arcsoft mms 5.0.31.7

Is there a list anywhere that tells the difference between the "full" version and the "micro" version? I know the Micro is JUST what comes with WM6.1, but since I don't know what that is, I'm not sure what's been added for the full version. I guess I could get both and write down a list myself of the differences, but since I'm lazy I figured I'd ask first to see if this had been done anywhere.

Hey Ivan LOVE this ROM... damn you are amazing man mad props to you.
Just one problem... I don't know if it's just me but some programs won't open. I don't get an error or anything. The little busy icon appears then quickly disappears then... nothing. I can't open Advanced Config or Ing Change Font...
I reinstalled Advanced Config and reseted and turned off the phone but... still nothing... Any reason why it wouldn't be working?
EDIT:
Oh haha nevermind I needed to install .net compact framework.

The Micro doesn't have a lot of things.
Amongst them:
QuickMenu
wktasks
.NetCF
The Canvas Dialer
The modified taskbar icons
Mortscript (for the wing versions that use the multibrowser button)
OperaMini
The newer version of IE (which takes more space)
The extended Explorer
The Rhodium Notification Enhancements
The HTC calculator
HTC Home
The keyboard skin
MyCPL
The new Volume Control system
The deactivated Rhodium Menu Enhancement (it's there to keep the notification enhancement working due to dependencies but it itself isn't working.)
The outlook enhancements
GoogleMaps
RandomAccess (the contacts quick alphabetical bar)
more modified icons around the system
Yet more modified icons around the system
Touch Responce (the force feedback)
I think that's all.
And the Payload has been modified to remove the ULDR (update partition which isn't used anyways.)

I'm using the wing version for a wing.
like i said, sms works beautiful, i just cant send or receive mms, and the oz .cab won't work. should i use a different arcsoft build for this rom? I'm running spb mobile shell 3.0 and sometimes the shortcuts dont like to work after its been running for a while, but when i select it from the start menu it fails too. uninstalled and reinstalled it 3 times, did a hard reset, installed it on both the phone and sd card, always the same result. it's not super important because i use yahoo and i forward my im's to my phone when i'm not online. but i cant see my friends list that way.
even with this minor issues i'm having, i still love the rom.

New to this and need input

Hello,
this is Marius here from the Netherlands and I just bought a second hand polaris (touch cruise over here) a few days ago.
It's my first smart phone so I am all new to this kinda thing.
The question I have is the following.
My phone is running a custom rom and windows mobile 6.5
Where it all came from I don't know this is the state it was in when I bought it.
But some how I think the phone is to slow, and there a some bugs in it.
First off the info:
Rom version: 3.60.23016 WWE
Radio version: 1.59.42.23
Windows mobile 6.5
When I clink on the memory usage it's mostly just on 15 mb free.
Is that normal for this phone..??
When I start up opera mini browser it tells me to close a tab (witch I didn't open) because it's running low on memory.
When I just click that away it works okay but still.
The touch flo interface stop from time to time, and it tells me to restart it then. Witch it does okay but I wonder why it just stops working.
This happens mostly when I open the you tube application.
The movies in the you tube are running very slow as well sound and movie are not in sync.
But that's my last worry
First of I want to know if the memory usage is normal.
Where I can find the touch flo interface and how to disable it so it wont start up with windows mobile. (just want to test if the phone runs better then and if I can live without the touch flo).
I know my questions are newbie, and I know there is tons of information on this forum and all over the intehweb but with all that information there is to much and I can't see the right info that I need.
So any help would be much appreciated, if there is no room for that in this forum some personal help through e-mail would be great as well.
Thanks in advance,
Marius.

No reply's..??
Okay start with one question @ the time..
Whats the normal memory usage on these phones..??
This is what I see when I click on the memory usage:
Storage
Total: 120,16 mb
In use: 65.88 mb
Free: 54.29 mb
Program
Total 78.82 mb
In use 61.00 mb
Free 17.82 mb
Is that normal..??
In other words is the operation on my phone normal or should there be more free memory..?

There is no normal memory usage for the phone. It's different from ROM to ROM. Do you know what custom ROM is on there? You should flash your phone to another ROM that will give you more free memory. That sounds like it will solve most of your problems. For example I am running a 6.1 ROM with no 3D drivers and Touchflo, and I get a over 30mb free. Do your research on here, determine which ROM you want and flash it. I think Pcar's 6.5 ROMs are good and he has a non 3D drivers version which should give you more memory (that is if you want to stick with 6.5). Otherwise flash a 6.1 ROM, there are plenty on here.

thanks for your reply.
I will go do some research.
The rom version is: 3.60.23016 WWE pcarcalho eXtreme ROM
I have no clue where to start with flashing this phone to another rom, (I flashed my tom tom device a couple of times now but this phone software is totally new to me).
Any clue in where to start my search or learning process would be very much appreciated..
I know search these forums, but with topics stretching over 60 pages it's hard to filer out the right information..

First thing you want to do is decide whether you want to go with 6.1 or 6.5. There are a lot of 6.5 ROMs out there. Start with a 6.5 ROM with no 3d drivers for starters. You can go with pcarvalho's ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506043. I don't normally recommend one ROM over another, but I know that the thread linked above has a lot of activity and you will get a lot of support if you ask questions. Word of advice, read up a lot before you ask questions. Nobody likes to answer the same question over and over again.

[ROM] 23658 ROM with extendir cooked in. Anyone interested? Also, a few other things.

Hello folks,
RUU compoatible.
-------Download Link-------
http://www.filesavr.com/LZCAM6F8NJHMTI6
Background info:
I have found that every ROM I use will start out being very snappy and lean but after a few months of use I notice that performance degrades quite a bit, even with 16+MB of free RAM. My theory is that the more files are put into the /windows folder, the slower the ROM goes (due to the fact that windows mobile uses a ROM image rather than the file system for the OS.)
I was able to successfully cook extendir into a T-Mobile Wing ROM unsing SuperJustKitchen 0.9. Thanks ivanmmj! I was wondering if anybody was interested. If anyone is interested, I need a recommendation for a good file host to upload this.
Here are the RAM statistics with a 6MB pagepool, CommManager and ActiveSync running in the background and the filesystem cache enabled.
13MB free right after boot 17MB free after ~20 seconds (5MB "magically" appears then.)
Same, but without filesystem cache enabled.
15MB free right after boot 19MB free after ~20 seconds.
I haven't tried running Oxios and looking at the results. I don't like the way it frees up RAM for S2U2. It isn't cooked into the ROM either.
ROM is build 23658(LZX compressed) with 45MB free storage memory.
Programs installed:
Windows Media Player
Remote Desktop Mobile
Internet Sharing
Internet Explorer 6
Office 2010 with OneNote
XdaShutdown
10 button touch commManager
Bluetooth FTP Explorer
Connection Setup 1.5 (no ADC so you have to run this if you want MMS/Data.)
Games installed:
Mobile Mines
Bubble Breaker
Solitaire
Chess

Next thing:
Now I've noticed that when I cook only mHub into the ROM, the camrea works but windows media player fails to play videos. When I only cook mHubVO into the ROM windows media successfully plays videos but the camera does not work. When I cook both into the ROM, everything works fine. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem.
Next next thing:
I'm looking at all the modules loaded by the executables running in kernel mode (gwes, filesys etc.) and I'm wondering if perhaps we can cut/swap a few of them out of the ROM. Same thing with the drivers that the OS loads. Has anyone tried this? I'd really like to know if anyone has anything to say for this.
Questions, comments and suggestions are all welcome!

Anything special when it comes to installing ? SD card setup and such. I'll give it a try.

Nothing special. It's LZX compressed but still RUU compatible. It's barely over 50MB. Thanks for trying my ROM, there's not much that's special about it besides extendir. If you want MMS support you'll have to go to "Settings" > "Connections" > "Connection Setup". Please let me know if you find any bugs.

Will do, just give me a few days. Been awhile since I've played with my Wing.
I too have noticed slow downs, lags and such. Find myself using HtcClaysSuperFast 1.6 on my G1 because it's just so damn fast. I find I want fast & instant reponse versus bells and whistles nowadays. I've flashed all the new stuff for my Windows & Android but get annoyed at all the waiting. Speed is King....that's what caught my eye.

Where is the ROM?
The link is not available...

So can we get the link working again.

Motherboard fried on old computer. Lost all my backups, roms & such unless I can slave the old hard drive. As previous post said, link is down. Can you fix? Thx.

Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't been on here in a long time. I've been busy with school and other things. Anyway, I recently reformatted my computer and I don't think that I backed up my ROMs. I'm going to try to find time to make the ROM again. Sorry about that. If anyone had a copy of the original ROM then I would be very thankful it one of you could mirror it.

Thanks for your effort!

I'd love to try that on my herald also.
And plus..it would be great if it is cooked with manilla2d too )

Ok, I can start downloading tools/building next week. Tomorrow is my final day of school and I have a few other things I need to do this week. Sorry about this.

ohhh i want to try but the link is dead.

I would love to try this, I just unloaded the JustHome Rom I have been using for almost two years now and am trying out some newer roms to find a good mix of speed and function. Most of the roms seem to work well and then slow down like you said. This would be a fantastic improvement. To bad I missed out on the original upload.

sry for reviving a dead thread! it though would be great, if you'd upload the rom again!
