First of all, I'd like to acknowledge the excellent job that mattk_r and nottoosmart did in creating the base Pandora rom and kitchen on which this work is based.
I imported their stuff into my Rom-Packer kitchen, made a few minor tweaks, compressed a few packages, and wanted to see how much I could get into a single build. I was pleased to find that I could get in everything I wanted (and a bit more!).
My target audience here are folks who just want a rom that does it all, and quickly. This is in the style of Faira's roms, in that it is packed full. It has all the base WM6 apps: Transcriber, Enterprise, Entertainment, WindowsLive, WindowsLive Search, Office 2007 (includes Onenote Mobile), VoIP, SqlCeMobile, MediaOS (Windows Media Player), Camera. I have left out/removed error reporting, autoupdate, and sqm. All of which make no sense for a custom rom, and are in my opinion accidents waiting to happen. Catalog I left out just because its a shopping portal, and I imagine you can just visit on the web if you want.
3rd party apps:
Adobe Reader LE, ArcSoft MMS, Notepad, Today Agenda, Battery Status, HTC X Button 1.0, PHM Registry Editor, PIM Backup 1.9, Pocket RAR, Shut XP, Redial, SMS Backup, Task Manager, Total Commander, WM5torage
I also threw in the newly released HTC Audio Manager, which is a very nice audio player.
There are two versions:
One with Voice Speed Dial, One with MS Voice Command.
Registry tweaks:
Thin scrollbar, disabled security, 802.11g, increased ring tone, edge icon, keyboard icon. I also enabled increased file and glyph caches, as for me these help performance noticeably, and there is plenty of ram.
Speaking of ram, I get 29.93 mb free on reboot of the VC version. I imagine it may be a tad higher for the SD version. If you don't like a particular app, just don't use it. It's not taking up any of your storage space anyway! If you want a few more mb of ram, you can disable the file cache settings manually, but I don't think its worth it personally.
Issues:
This rom is based on mUn's latest release, which still has some issues to be worked out, mainly Flash Player and A2DP, but check on the Pandora or mUn rom threads for tweaks and fixes for these as they become available.
Edit: I am advised by mattk_r that a2dp may work. Let me know. (I don't use it.)
For those that need these features now, Faria or Core-based roms currently work. If people are interested in "Packed" versions of those, let me know. Or cook your own!
This is an OS only flash.

Have fun!
going to try it now, looks good, thanks for posting it
It Looks Nice bro
I will try it and get back
Thanks
Seems pretty fast, I only had 27.16MB of ram free with nothing extra installed or running, not even activesync.
Everything seems great except the GPS icon tweak isn't preset and there aren't any extra themes (Black) added already.
None of them are big deals since they can be fixed, but just saying for a "fully-Loaded" Rom, they less tweaking needed after the fact, the better.
Thanks for the comment. If you have a bundle or link that you'd recommend let us know. Or post a cab for people to install.
I could put some more stuff in the Voice Speed Dial version, but the Voice Command version is close to the edge. So to keep the features the same, I'll probably just leave them as is for now. Down the road as my "Packer" becomes more sophisticated, I may be able to squeeze more in, but for now this is about the state of the art.
I don't know why your ram numbers are different. Mine were higher. Still, 28 meg should be plenty to work with I think.
I'm afraid there will be some tweaking to be expected. We are creating things that aren't perfect. I appreciate your help.
Best wishes,
a little error with voice dailing with headset
Nice Rom, surely a fast one but
when tried to dial with the voicedailer thru my bt headset nothing happened...
i getting used with the fact that voicedailing gives problems with some roms but this one is easily to handle:
From HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "\Windows\btagext.dll" (string)
To HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "OEMAGW.dll" (string)
and it works....
still a nice rom....
Loaded it this morning cleanly. As others have said it is nice and quick. My old ROM had been in for all of four weeks so it was time for a change
I had some issues with AS on first sync. My favorites and most of my ring tones didn't come across even though it showed Synchronized. I re-synced and all came across bar my tsk files and the notes. With the notes, I have two copies of each. One is the original from the PC sync along with another pre-fixed "Changed copy of" in the filename. Never seen this before.
It does seem fully loaded with one small omission : the Wireless Today plug-in. Ill find it and add it in but perhaps this could be considered for a future up-issue. A small quibble and easy to fix.
Downloading now...
Hello!! Im just downloading your ROM, i look just like what i install all over when i hard reset my device so i will give it a try. However i thing there is another PDF reader out there that many claim is faster and lighter, i dont remember the name. I will look out for it and spread out the word.
I have some questions:
Does this ROM has has the Camera v3.0?
Does this ROM has the bluetooth explorer enabled and working?
How much is the battey consuption and idle processor 4% ?
Best regards !!
Thanks pdamol for the fix.
Tpalik, yeah, unfortunately activesync acts up at times with reflashing. I don't think its this rom. I have a whole hocus-pocus routine I go through now to avoid duplicate entries when changing roms. I've had thousands of notifications, and thousands of contacts before, which really made me panic. Hope you didn't have too many notes to delete.
In the future, try deleting the sych relationship from both your PC and the mobile device before reflashing. Then re-synching, adding only one category at a time, and watching carefully to see that each time the additional category is actually synched. Thats helped me.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestion.
Hope you both enjoy the rom!

Yes, pdaXplore is out there, but there are mixed reviews about whether it is actually lighter on resources when running. (It is a slightly smaller .exe) So, I went with the standard, since I could fit it in. If you like the other one you could install it too.
I think it is Camera 3
Not sure about the bluetooth explorer.
Idle processor is 0-2% with occasional bounces as the system does something or other. Battery life should be good.

Another questions, does it have implemented the GPRSStallworkaround fix?
Is it safe to flash it to a G4 device?
Does it has smartskey??
10 button comm manager?
Voip ???

GPRSStallworkaround: Not sure, but there's a registry editor included so you can put it in yourself if needed.
G4: Yes, its safe. Read up on how to do it if you haven't done it already though.
Smartskey: No, I don't use it, but if you want it just load it in yourself. It's a really small program. BatteryStatus, which is included, does overclocking on its own.
10 button: yes
voip: yes
Take care,
Does your packed ROM include the GPS application and Icon?
ROM looks very good and I would like to try but need the GPS and a lot of ROMs don't include it.
Thx,
Jim

Hi, No it doesn't. I'm not sure why not. If I find it I'll put it in the next update. (Along with the other fixes people suggest.) Having said that, I have no problem connecting with my GPS over bluetooth and TomTom is happy. I've read that app has been impossible to get to work properly, and most of the GPS folks avoid it. If you have problems getting going with the current set-up and want how I do it let me know.

Nope the GPS icon its not enabled.
I just flashed with this ROM and my device has frozen 2 or 3 times also it has a little trouble with the voice dialer, when in press the voice activation button it says that it cant start the assigned app.
Strange. I will fix it by myself. but i dont like to fix recently flashed ROMS.
Hi charly_mx,
Sorry for your trouble. Try a hard reset (if you haven't loaded too much in already). Or a soft reset if you have. (Using the pinhole.) I'm using the voice command version, and haven't had any problems with freezing. Is it a particular app? We could see if others are having trouble with it as well. If you post the fix for the voice dial activation I'll make sure it gets corrected in the next version.
Thanks,

I just got it!!! Look.
The Voice Speed Dial is bad assigned in the button config. Instead of being assigned on the second option of the button 4, it must be assigned in the first assignement (for a single key press activation). The second assignment of the button 4 is meant to be the "press and hold" function. Thats why it wasnt working with a single key press. Its just a slight config option.
Best regards.!!

Sup,
I posted something like this before but got no responses. I was wondering which would be the best WM6 rom for me.
I am pretty sure it is unlocked as I am using a T-Mo US sim.
My current setup is- (WM5 original came with phone)
ROM version: 1.13.64 WWE
ROM date: 09/30/05
Radio version: 1.03.00
Protocol version: 42.36.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.151 WWE
Some of the stuff I would like is:
Stability
T-Mobile US GPRS capable
Smart dial?
No WiFi problems (I use WEP encryption)
No Bluetooth problems
SDHC
Good storage space and RAM
VGA and QVGA games to work
MMS
Works with Bluetooth GPS (Holux 240)
Looks good on a VGA screen
Stereo A2DP - not that necessary
VGA - not that necessary
Don't need video calling or 3g
Don't need VOIP
I have seen the various ones and there are too many that I cannot decide.
And can anyone recommend updates to the radio rom or is that included?
If I backup my WM5, can I restore in WM6? Does backing up backup games, programs, etc?
Thanks all for your help and thanks for such an awesome forum.
Many questions you have
All of us have been there. Unfortunately there are no BEST Rom's. You need to try them out, All of the latest builds have great stability and features (Cooker dependant). Daily there are new patches being released that make them even more stable and functional. Try ALL of them (It is pretty easy to flash the rom, and decide it for yourself!
lol ok, any recommendations?

Hi,
Do you happen to know how old that ROM is? Nov 5th 07? And should I get the Full Flavor? I don't need the RGU right? Going to download anyway but wait for responses.
Thanks Wout.

Hi,
Core is older, cooked version is something like 5/11.
and indeed get full flavor, because it has been updated (some bug fixes)
Read the wiki and also flash another radiorom (1.03 is quite old).
use 1.15 or 1.18 (you can find links to them in the wiki)
you don't need the RGU.
just try whichever wm6 rom and see if you like it.
(I change at least twice a week)
Wout
lol, twice a week? Nicee
Alright, I'm prepping for flashing, backing up all the stuff and whatnot. Just got to get ActiveSync to work properly, keeps going to guest.
Thanks a lot for your help, generousity and quick responses.
update:
radio upgraded to 1.15
waiting for battery to charge to full and start os upgrade
Sup,
Updated the OS to WM6. But a little problem though. I restored my Sprite Backup, that I used to backup WM5 settings/programs, to ROM and now Calculator and Pictures & Videos no longer have icons, they just have white boxes. When I click calculator, I get an error saying it cannot be opened. Pics and vids goes to the location, but it doesn't have the icon.
Does anyone know how to fix these???
Also, I have doubled icons for Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. There's icons in the main programs place and they have their own folder called Office which has a couple of other stuff in it.
Any solution for this to?
Also, my right softkey (contacts) is set to PocketCM, which I uninstalled. I don't know how to change it to regular contacts. I also removed SPB Pocket Plus.
I have 22.22 storage used and 21.50 free.
On boot I have 24~25 free, after use and back to everything closed, 19~20.
Is this good?
Thanks again and sorry for all the questions.
hi,
Never use a backupprogr. when flashing a new rom, mainly because of different registry settings.
Softkey can be changed in registry or with 3rth party software.
Memory going to 19/20 mb is normal.
So, do a hard reset.
(because now you registry is screwed up)
greetings,
Wout
Hello again,
I looked online and people were saying to use a backup program and one person reccommended Sprite Backup. So I used that and now this happened. Learn something new everyday. I'll keep that in mind next time. So I guess I have to reinstall all my programs again, even the ones on my mem card?
Thanks for your help.
PS, I got an error after hard resetting saying sddaemon.exe cannot be opened, either it is not signed with a trusted certificate. I hit OK and it appears to work normally.
PPS, Looks like I have to reflash the ROM,
three programs: clearvue, midilet, voice speed dial, are all not working. Along with the sddaemon error, looks like thats the wise thing to do.
PPPS, ROM reinstalled, seems to be working 100%, starting from scratch now.
Thanks all for your input!
I've searched for this topic and any information on it and I apologize if I missed something in advance. I LOVE cooked roms, the only problem I have ever had with them is that they do not work too well with ATT navigator. I really enjoy this program as it gives me traffic and other features. I know there are other programs out there, but I would like to keep this one. With most cooked roms however, it always tells me that it cannot connect to the server. My "Quick" fix is to go into the comm manager and shut off the data connection and when ATT Navigator starts the data connection again, it's all good. I don't get it but whatever.
At any rate, I am just wondering if there are some other users out there who prefer ATT Navigator and if they have found a way to make it work seamlessly on a cooked rom, or a cooked rom that works well with it on its own.
Again I apologize for any redundancies, I hate them too, but I'd really like to have the best of both worlds.
Thank you all SO much for your help in this forum, I'd be stuck with stock if it weren't for you guys and your hard work!

ATT Tilt
Back to stock (For Now )
Try going to Connections in settings. Hit Advanced tab then Select Networks. Make sure that both options say Media Net. Hope this helps.
Thank you for your help. I've played around every which way with the settings there before, but right now I'm just wondering if there is a rom out there with this already taken into account. I guess another question is, why are there so many setting changes like that in a cooked rom?

Try mine--I cooked it and I use ATT Navigator or Garmin which both require the data connection for traffic info. They both work great. I used one on one leg of a 2 hour drive I took today and the other on the way home and both worked perfectly. Use the most up-to-date version of my rom. I also am releasing a new version tomorrow night.
One other thing--always make sure that the proxy box is deselected in the media net connection...That will help immensely.
You asked why there are so many setting changes in cooked roms. Once you try the rom I link to below, you will understand why. The chefs tweak these roms to improve overall performance. The rom below is cooked with the objectives of stability, reliability and performance...which I believe we are achieving. You have to try many roms to find one that works for you. I have tried hundreds of them before I started cooking. I got into cooking to help mbarvian because his device was not working and he has done so much for the community and found out I really like cooking. Anyway, I hope that gives you some insight into why we tweak.

Make sure you read the first 5 posts...lots of info in there and report back. I have time cold starts of navigator with the quick gps data already downloaded and they come in under a minute inside my house...most of the time 30 to 40 seconds. Garmin is even faster.
Hi Everyone...
I did something to my phone and now I am looking to reflash it. I loved how I had my phone, but thought maybe a newer rom would help me out... I had the stock 6.0 installed. I used it primarly with TomTom.. I have the HTC Home installed and love it, but if touch flo is cool I would consider that as well.. I also love all the S2U, S2P, etc and other applications that made it very finger friendly, I like to be able to see what I have scheduled at a glance.. I do a lot of TXT messaging... I also like to play games on it (I use the nintendo enulator a lot) I have a 16gb microSD card so I have plentry of room if it need to install on the card as well (I had a Motorola MPX200 that I had to do that with). I also use Voice Command often. I would like instant messaging to be a breeze.
My Cellphone Service Provider is not AT&T (Einstein Wireless) and I would need to be able to put all the settings for them for internet and otehr network setting into it... so I need no AT&T bloatware or special software... I do take some pictures with my phone from time to time... so if there was a "Better" camera program that would be cool too...
I am hoping that there is a rom that has most of all of these features cooked in so setup will be a time saver... I know I will still ahve to manually enter the carrier info, but the extra software and stuff would be great.. If you are using a rom that does most of this and you love, let me know.. I am looking ot do this tomorrow..
Before this gets closed by the mods, our general suggestion is to try the different cooked ROMs available. The threads for each should show a list of applications included with the ROMs, so you can determine from the included apps if it is a ROM you are willing to try. If you have never flashed a cooked ROM, please check out the Wiki for instructions to prepare your phone for flashing cooked ROMs. It will save you a lot of headache.
You'd be better to try a few of the cooked ROMs and see what you like. The ROM's on the first two pages are the most popular ones at the moment. See what they contain from the firs few pages.
Thread closed as per guidelines.

OK, I'm officially frustrated with my ATT Fuze (Raphael). I've looked and looked, but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer...so I need some major help, please.
1) I use my WM Phone to keep me together, business-wise...so I need more than just today's appointment on the home screen. I need something that will integrate my appointments and/or tasks into TF3D, either by altering the home tab, or providing a new one. That's why, after searching, I tried Manila-Today (I think that's name)...it showed promise, but the very things I need (appointments, tasks), it doesn't support. I don't want TF3D-Detached or SecondToday if I can at all avoid it...I want something integrated. Is there a definitive answer for this?
That's the big one I've been researching...for a while now, too. I have a couple of other questions I haven't dug too deeply on (I've been researching the above like crazy!), but I'd love to have answered if someone has the time:
2) I'd like to get rid of the AT&T "trial-/bloatware" that comes on my phone. Does anyone know if the same trick for the tilt works with this device (soft reset after initial set-up, before countdown ends)...and without damaging it?
3) A lot of the things I'm looking at in terms of altering the TF3D requires that you know the version of it, and I'm a bit confused by all the names being bandied about (TF3D, TF3D2, Rhodium version, etc.). How in the heck can I tell what I have? At least that will give me a place to start in terms of adding new tabs, changing that god-awful landscape menu, getting some backgrounds, etc.
Sorry for ranting...it's just that I have this supposedly incredible phone, and I feel that I can't do jack with it. I appreciate anyone's help...thanks.
1. Try SBP Mobile Shell, short of using SecondToday or the Detacher, its the only other inerface that will run in conjunction with TF3D.
The calendar tab does provide some details but there is no appt tab.
2. Yes
3. Go to your settings tab/About, the version is there.
I was like you when I first got my Fuze because the Tilt development had gotten so far and ther was nothing initially available for the Fuze.
Patience, flash a couple of cooked or stripped ROMs and read all you can because it IS a different device with different anomalies, and you'll be lovin' it in no time.
One important one is that the RUU wrapper does not completely wipe the previous ROM, so you can experience bugs if you do not flash back to stock ROM every few flashes.
