hello there!
i am new (4months) to this forum and i have some questions.
i red the wiki. but still some things are very unclear.
but my biggest problem si that i can't figure out how many versions of WM6 are there. all i count is:
1. Midget_1990 v.1.0
2. Universal WM6 Pro ROM
3. Jwrightmcps ROM update 2.02.02
4. Jwrightmcps ROM Update 2.02.00 WEE
5. WM6 CHT/.../DUT with Radio 1.15.00 from Darkforce
are there any others ???
i appriciate all the users that took part of those releases, i realy do appriciate their work, but i think this forum is a little bit unorganised.
wouldn't it be better to name all the WM6 versions in the same way like:
1. [WM6] [Midget_1990] [1.0]
2. [WM6] [Jwrightmcps] [2.02.02]
3. [WM6] [Jwrightmcps] [2.02.00]
etc.....
or something like this, somename that includes the version, the build number, the os number, and put them sepparatly on the top of the forum (sticky).
and i would suggest to keep modifying the first reply from the topic. the one that includes the description of the version and to add all the things that are discovered by users.
sometimes it takes 20 pages to get and to read a reply that says something that really matters to you. the rest is just "thank you" replies.
for example, if you want to use an certain program you might spend a few days reading the topic and find out that you shouldn't have upgraded your device because u cannot run the program.
i personally don't understand what is "Universal WM6 Professional ROM".
from the name of the thread, it is not verry relevant who build it.
and also why is this one "professional"? i would call "professional" the WM6 release from an official source like HTC.
i don't want to offend anyone with this topic.
i just struggle to understand for 2 weeks what is going on with al these versions.
and i hopped that at some point, someone will make a conclusion about evry WM6 version, something like:
"version no.1 crashes evry 20min, etc...
version no.2 doesn't have videocall, msn chat, office, etc...
version no.3 is the best of all but still hasn't got a videocall function. this can be fixed with the cab provided in the topic (link), etc..."
again, i hope noone is offended by my post.
i trully appriciate all your work, but i just think that it needs to be just a little bit organised. all that hard work and sleepless nights of the authors, need to be a little more easy to read.
thanks in advanced for your time and your understanding!

wm6 professional ala wm5 pocket pc
wm6 standard ala wm5 smartphone
this is the new naming convention used by M$
there is PDAVIET rom, helmis rom leo's rom and probably rom released by couple of other people
i guess the reason why you see different nomenclature used for the rom is because all rom makers usually work independently.(though i really like your idea)
as for some app being incompatible with one given rom... well i guess i have seen some people claiming that a particular rom broke an application while some one else will say that it works...and frankly speaking the rom makers can not update their bug log just because one guy claims so...

The link is concering the discussion on the what you called professional rom, the do or don't release of HTC wm6 build for the Universal and the hesitating behaviour of many rebranders.
it`ll get easier
The forum is diverse, this is a good thing, just a little confusing at first.
Also, as i understand it, english isn`t always the first language of all it`s members.(but all who post,post in english, for which i am profoundly grateful )
Goodluck neighbour....
I Agree with HewLit...
ordering them with tags like
[OS][author][version] would make it way easier to find new releases...
I`m looking for someone who can` make me a custom ROM...or someone who want`s to make a ROM and needs some ideeas...
Lol, and why should someone accustom a ROM to your perference? If you want to pay them, then you can consider Nitro
Sorry, mate. My ROM cooking is for free. And I'm full of ideas!
it is not neccesary to accustom a ROM to my prefferences but i have some nice ideeas for anyone who wants to **** a new ROM...

@NiTro
Same thoughts.... (look at the time of our post )
@illi
Well, every member of this forum would have made this thought!!!
My ideea is to **** a ROM based on the vanilla version wich is a very good version with no unecessary stuff,but the version of the wm6 english 5.2.116.18120 STANDARD v3.2 has more options wich is a very good thing from my opininion a good ROM sould have as much options as possible,and to be more stabile than the rest and with more free memory…My ideeas aren`t very shiney but I hope you will like it.
From the way I thing a ROM sould have/be:
• Fully application unlocked
• With htc camera 4 wich is a very good version of camera with allot of option and a great quality or the latest version of cool camera wich is allso very good
• We should select from all the cocked ROM`s the Media Player who can support many format`s of music like .mp3,.mp4,.wmv,.aac,.wma,mpeg,mpeg 4,.3gp,.avi and many others..(with the wmp 11 interface)
• The File manager maybe somone can **** to extract the .zip,.rar archives and stuff like that
• Automatic date/time adjustment with the latest gsm update included
• The latest version of htc SIM manager,wm5 storage,low light
• English xT9 included
• In the SMS recived if someone can make to view the smiles (the most used onley)
• Office 2007 just like in the original one
• Iconor list view but put it somehow in the display option
• The latest version of SmartExplorer
• In the album viewer at Pictures &Videos if someone could make it just like in the wm3 from the Spv c500 to give super extra large zoom at the pictures & to preview more medias
• In the games if could be include the Celeris virtual pool 2007 and the solitaire without bubble breaker
• Voice command
• The latest ADP
• To run more faster reboot,on/off (startup)
• Latest AKU drivers
• Basehue Express
• Make more options but make it to be easey to use not like in the version wm6 english 5.2.116.18120 STANDARD v3.2 the options are good but some of them are very hard to use,the options are good and usefully but are very complex and not all of the wm6 ROM`s or smartphone user know how to use,what I mean is that the options are very hard to change make it more easely to use because some of the users are afraied to use them just because are very complex and none of them whant`s to turn his software upside down…
• Rezolv the connection problems from bluethoot work because in all of the ROM`s that I tried the BT doesn`t work properley/corect
• Make MMS and SMS work faster and good because allmost 50% from the ROM`s realesed have problems or works slow…
This are my ideeas…aren`t very shiney but hope to be usefully….
Most of the not-already-implemented ideas are not for a recooked WM6 version, but for a new WM7 version. Please submit those to Microsoft!
Please, dude, make some reasonable requests. We do not have the source code of WM6!!!!
i don`t know if it real is for a new wm7 but we can try to do something i can help ...we can make the best ROM i realy do not know how to make a ROM but it can`t be to hard to make this ROM possible ..
so if someone can do this i`d be gladley to help ...it is`n so hard to do let`s just think,we can change the WM6 English 5.2.116.18120 Standard v3.2 and just remove and add
no one intrested in improving this ROM?
Noone but you!!!
(This guy has to be kidding, but I lost my sense of humor - sorry!)

Come on Nitro.. You can let a guy dream, can't you?
What I'm really looking forward to is your new ROM.
I had found out
Guys i`d just search somethig to try to start my own ROM and i found that the sorce code can be found ,i just read this and realised that i allready have the sdk so if you would help me to make this ROM i can help with the information "The Windows Mobile Software Developer's Kit (SDK) ships with over a hundred code samples. These are working applications that can help you learn to develop software for the Windows Mobile platform.
The code samples are installed when you install the Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK and the Windows Mobile 6 Standard SDK . Each SDK ships with code samples that are common to both platforms, as well as samples that are specific to each platform" i don`t whant to upset you or something but i`d be gladlley if someone will offer
[ROM] [WWE] [Kaiser/Tilt] [WM 6.5.3 23614] ARIADNA v207 + LZX [ 101Mb + Chome + Greatbal Shadow Neo Skin] [colours and icons modified]
Proudly I can announce my new Ariadna ROM version for Kaiser and also for Tilt. As I told once, my ROMs are not the best. In fact, they don’t improve anything. Simply, they have the basics that I need for my usual life - there are some other specialized apps that I don't cook here. But even if those ROM’s are not good, even if they lack in lots of things, I cooked them carefully and with love.
It's based on build 23614 - this is the WM6.5.3 LG branch but it seems to work well on our Kaisers. I tested it during more than 10 days and finally today is the best moment to launch it to the World. Tilt version is not tested but the only change is in the keyboard mapping. Maybe I should change anything on the camera apps/settings.
As most of you know, I have no experience in programming or developing - my specialities are in other areas like planning, design, landscape, and environmental law. But lots of people helped me to dive into this kind of drug which is Windows Mobile and all its capabilities and I finally could cook three good ROMs.
What's inside:
No games, no Live, no Transcriber, no Welcome Center, no MS Tag, no OneNote, no Skybox neither SkyMarket.
You'll find some Office appas such as MS Office and Adobe Reader; also, MyNote, iContact and some other minor apps.
There is also the new beta of TotalCommander, compatible to the bottom bar of WM 6.5.x
And it works well with Showcase. and with the 2G patched version of the Mega phone.
25984 free kB on Slot 0
About 122 Mb on Storage, 103 free; abut 101 Mb on RAM, more than 56 free.
See the images to read the list of everything installed and see the screens.
No important issues found. Only, you must configure the hard button mappings in some cases, using the stylus and going to Settings/Personal/Buttons, because in some devices the map is missing and the device freezes when pushing on one button. And if the device is locked, you can't answer using the hard buttons, but I did not try to correct the default registry for this.
I developed it during my nights, and there are about 120 versions of this one till it booted and was shown in the way I wanted. BUT what I finally did was only choosing the correct files, editing some .provxml's and initflashfiles.dat and click on the "Cook It" button on Oskitchen.
There are no Cinderella and Princess versions because, like Jeckyll and Hyde, every girl is simultaneously a Cinderella and a Princess. And thus, this ROM takes the name of my daughter Ariadna. And her image is beside the flags of my 2 beloved countries: Catalonia and Occitania, both under foreign domination now.
Hope you enjoy it. Refer to "About Ariadna ROM" for credits to all known people in this ROM and DONATE to them if you fell it useful. Visit also www.suportalessandra.com
Support and fixes for this ROM will be limited as I have no time and no experience. But I thnk you won't need it: it's easy to use.
There won't be new versions till an important build will appear. Last version was a 23016 cooked last august.
Please read carefully the sickies about "how to flash" and the wiki.
Kaiser version: http://www.adrive.com/public/e14388ff6dff3736eb0cc67ad9db1c202bb781b5e3e6e8a56b3acf12d4a97d6d.html

Hi,
You say that your ROM is VOIP enabled. Can you explain what you mean by that?
Welcome new chef.... Love the blue theme....looks awesome!
Mature response and more power to you. Good luck with the project!

I (only) mean lots of ROMs are cooked without VoIP files, and then it's more difficult to reinstall them. In this one, I did not discard VoIP files.

Well, if you are looking for an innovative, revolutionary ROM for Kaiser, then you're true. Mine is not for you.
WM was made by MS guys (and girls). Builds were searched, found and downloaded, and ported, by other people, not me. Hacks like 101 Mb RAM were developed by other people, not me. Fixes were made by other people, not me. And the kitchen is made by other people, not me. So that yeah it's possible nothing is different in my ROM.
My only responsibility is having spent many hours and days during the last year searching and downloading "how-to's", wiki pages, registry explanations, and lots of CABs with fixes, utilities, tricks. My only responsibility is having mixed them in the way I found, during last year, they work better "for me". Some ones ported from a device or developed by one person; some others developed by another person. Some are older versions which I prefer to the new ones.
Today I added a cheese to my ravioli. But that kind of cheese and that ravioli were made by other people, not me. The only I did is take "that" cheese and not another one, and buy those ravioli and not other ones.
Of course, speaking about me thus is the most sincere way. I'm not a lyer, and I can't tell "this is the best ROM, developed entirely by me" 'cause I only decided which ingredients I put, but credits are, must be, to the persons who searched, ported, developed, hacked, built and shared with us.
About the names history, everyone gives a name to the things, and place an identificative image. I like to know why a ROM is called as it's called. And the circumstances are what they are, so I told thus.
That's a nice and functional ROM which needs improvements, but it works well day to day, that's what I need and what I can share till now. I'm trying to improve it testing other builds and putting/throwing some utilities or modifying the versions (i.e. Mega, Opal or Jade ported phone?) to my taste. I try to modify some PNGs to have a better view (for me). And flashing again and again (and getting stuck in bootloader, also) to improve this ROM.
But nothing if you don't want to test it. You'll find others better than this one, of course. Using less space and having better graphics/sounds. I don't force you to flash this one.

Hi Shane, it's not the first. It's the THIRD !! I began last august with builds 23009 and 23016 but I wanted to solve some things with initflashfiles.dat and some others, so that the version could be considered a good tool.
Later I burnt my computer, and with the new one I had several problems using OsKitchen (I suppose something was corrupted in the hard disk I rescued from the old PC).
Then, you know, I tried lots and lots of times to cook and flash with bad results.
This ROM is also not the first for this build, but I was "refining" it till I considered it's capable to be used by other people without getting angry with me .
Truely, I learned lots of things from your posts, cooking classes, etc.
(you'll read your name in the credits inside the ROM if you try to test it)
Thanks !!!
Nice job bro

I only edited initflashfiles.exe and shellres.dll, and changed some colours in some PNG's or some font styles.
For the rest of the features, hard work is from lots of other people, all they working here at xda-dev's for everybody.
Glad if you give feedback. I tested during 10 days before posting it as public, so that I could be sure it works. But trere's always a bad surprise to fix.
Thank you
Ok, here we go. I´m considering 2 phones as my new beetle -
1) LG Viewty smart
2) Sony ericsson xperia x10 MINI
Of course LG Viewty smart is better..in fact completely higher league in most things that are required for me like battery life, camera, video, SMS writing, user friendly enviroment, etc. but I have temptation to try something new = android system on this small phone. The main reason why I hesitate is that I REQUIRE of my phone to let me change its UI completely.
So the question pops-up: Can I change themes / UI in android powered cellphones easily or with some simple handed modification?
I´ll give you an example: now I have LG Viewty ( KU990 ). Its enviroment is completely made of java so with basic firmware modification ( EFS Tool, "TOTO" system, one of tons themes for this cell and you are done in 5 minutes ) you can make the whole UI / theme looks like HTC Hero/Touch diamond/iphone/etc., etc. instead of ugly default one. I´m curently using HTC Hero theme ( tried to put link but forum refuses to let me do that so google it: viewty gate by adc, joseph earl, htc hero. ). Now you see how easy it is to change theme on LG phones using java enviroment.
So can anyone please tell me if I would be able in some near future to change sony ericssons xperia x10 mini REALLY UGLY, AWFUL, REPULSIVE UI to something decent? Is android user friendly enough to let community do this? I´m asking here because where is better place to ask than here?
I´m completely new in tasks about android so if it´s silly question for you keep in mind that I´m not familiar with it at all and if you answer to question "NO, you can´t change theme / UI in android" this system will remain unknown for me till death most probably ( 99.9% chance ).
So thx in advance for respond.
soo i installed ur latest cm 6.1.3 custom rom . . . the edge glow one . . . but my fone keeps restarting and i have lost access to my root ! . . . . i cannot access any sd card app either . . . . why is this happening ? . . . please help ! . . . . they said i cannot post in tht particular thread soo im posting here ! . . . .
Hello guys,
as you probably know, there were many projects to port an android Rom into the wonderful Samsung Focus device.
This morning, I was browsing google to find some news about it and BANG, I found an eHow page from November 15th 2011 telling me how to do it. I remained sort of sceptical about it and I wanted your opinions. As far as I read, it seems to be an HTC rom ported to WP7.
So Ill let you check the web page, right there: http://www.ehow.com/how_12191756_run-android-samsung-focus.html
Does it sound fake to you? Is it safe to try it?
BTW, has anyone successfully ported android with MAGDLR on the Focus?
Thank you very much!
Sorry for my bad english.
Alpha4345 out.
??!!
anybody please confirm working or no please!!
Haret is for OLD windows mobile
The Samsung Focus runs Windows Phone 7.x, which is NOT windows mobile. Haret runs on windows mobile. This trick won't work. The SD card is protected by the operating system when you install it, and will become an integral part of your phone, and you can't even access it from your computer.:crying:
You might be interested in this from the dev section as far as HARET is concerned with WP7 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483377
Having recently bought an Android device to play with, I have to ask: why in the HELL would you switch a WP7 device to Android? Sure, it's more customizable and has more apps, but it's a hell of a lot slower and the UI is an antiquated joke.
Well I find it funny when people ask questions like this , especially on a DEVELOPERS FORUM ! Why would someone want to put a chevy engine in a Toyota , because they can (with modifications) , its not about how fast the "fart app" or Face Book runs , that crap doesnt matter to devs , its whether or not it will work that matters and if it will ,what other possibilities are there (that means Microsoft left some backdoors open) , pretty promising stuff , maybe not feasable to the average user but to a tinkerer or maker its alot!

I can relate to the "challenge" aspect--used to do it all the time years ago. Now I just don't give a rat's ass
