Update Util?

Hi!
I wana flash WM6 on my unbranded Artemis.
Already installed USPL and downloaded a ROM, wich is a rar file "ARTE_WWE_WM6.rar" containing "OS.nb"
So what to do with that OS.nb?
I think I will need a Utility to flash that ROM to my device right?
Where to get it?
Thanks!

I propably need a ROM which includes a Utility?
I do not even know which WM6 ROMs there are.
Which one would you recommend?

I suggest you switch from the upgrading section to the Mobile 6 section of this site. There is a lot more info about WM6.
Basically (I don't intend to be complete) there are three flavours: Bepe's ROM, the PDAVIET Black and Blue ROM and, since a few days, a ROM that comes close (or is?) the HTC ROM. They are all different so you have to decide which one you like the most. They all have popular threads with lots of enthousiast users, more or less. Happy reading!

Okay I now got the PV Black&Blue v3 - which is great for me!! (though I dont know the others)
but the HTC Home Today Plugin takes so much space
If there were just the clock ...

I beleive a few months ago there was one by Letva (I think) Anyways it is still in honey comb form..... but it's not outlined that way. Not sure if Onyx did that but the newest ROM is supposedly an official version. I think. Don't take my word for it though. I like it better without the honeycombe outline. Makes things less cluttered.

^^is it possible to just update my Windows from 6.1 to 6.5?

What do you mean update? Do you mean like when official WM6.5 comes out. No... Only select devices will be suported but even then you have to flash the ROM. So you will lose everything you don't back up.
I'm no expert but flashing it is the only way. You can't just install a CAB. If it were that easy I'm sure it would have been done. Anywho just search..... I bet that's why nobody else is answering.

^^understood.
y am I asking is, i just want WM6.5 wit the honeycomb style..

yes i will like wm 6.5 on my elfin but a dont know who to do it i mean flash my ppc any help ?

Open source rom ...

Hello to everybody, Acer S200 users, how could you understand our device is now obsolete (we are now in Legay devices,too) and our cookers seems to have stopped cooking, in practice is all stopped.
Now: there are 2 thinghs: sell our devices to buy a new one or know that your phone will no longer receive updates in future.
So, I propose to unite our forces ( and minds) and build an open source rom, where everybody can do all that he want with his own rom, but to achieve this we need a lot of collaboration...
WHO IS WITH ME ???

To be honest. i dont feel the need to get further updates... brainmasters clean rom with srs wow hd registry tweaks, tweaked version of mobile shell, igo primo etc etc.
Our roms are stable and we have the options to have several ui s even sense... so im fine I own my Neotouch since one year now and im still contended, i'll keep it as long as it runs
Windows mobile in general is dead, which is a pity, as it is still a mighty os and im actually wondering what you try to improve due to further roms, with brainmasters roms or arto's roms we can call our neotouch maxed out
P.S. and ill stick with WM as long as other OS wont offer any comparable gps programs like IGO for windows mobile...

The Rom are already there, but in my opinion should be developed Android

Maybe you haven't understand the levels that I want to reach... I can only tell you that with some benchmark I found original rom about 30 % faster than cooked one and this is anomalus because cooked rom normally are even better than official ones...

Hi Euplio, Stefano has already released the Kitchen for Acer S200. I have downloaded it and customized it for all of my ROM's. Why don't you do it also?
Everything you need is on this forum - Stefano's Kitchen, newest SYS Builds, OEM Packages, Manila Packages. You just need to invest time, find and put everything together.
You had a plenty of time to do that since you also cook your own ROM's.
So, why don't you start, and the people will support you.
If you only ASK and don't DO anything, then you will ACHIEVE NOTHING.
If you need some help, I can always look into Forum to help you.

hmmm
maybe we can collect all sorts of packages (exts) and make a repository of packages for cooking. as far as i am concerned, the chefs here have done the best possible. i have cooked roms from arto, kubino and brains roms on all 3 of my s200.

So c'mon I'gonna start making ultra-light rom good base for spb mobile + "DROID PRO+ 2.2 by DOC3000 & MSKIP" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833941 because I find it the best alternative to the htc sense, what do you think?

Hi guys my ultra-light rom is now finished, I need beta testers...

Where is the thread with this rom???? is it in Italian ????
Post more information...

yes, i'm interested to test your ROM but I don't know what I have to do exactly...

I'm interested to test your ROM.I was a beta testers of the 3.5 rom Stefano.
Bye

Hi all,
I always use a custom rom from others, because there are many people cooking for the devices i had, butt now i return to my htc touch 3g or htc jade and see that the roms are old.
I try cook to my topaz once and i remember that i change sys to have the newest release of win mobile 6.5.
i don't remember the kitchen i use.
I want ask wich kitchen i use to cook win 6.5 in my htc jade?
thanks

jade kitchen is here dude

thanks for your answer, i already made a kitchen with oskitchen, and eliminate some packages and try and it and run on the jade.
Now I'm try to see witch build is the recent one of win 6.5 with the bottoms in the inferior corner and putt it run.
Thanks

id have to learn how to port. im not pr0.
stuck in the same boat as you dude..

[Q] ROM (builds and kitchen)

Hi all.
I'm creating a Windows Mobile Rom.
1)---I want to create a rom modifying my smartphone's rom and NOT creating a rom from a clean one (it will be almost impossibile).
2)---Which kitchen can i use?
3)---Where can I download the latest Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 Builds? (Da-G's download don't work anymore on Mediafire)
Thanks

Try OS Builder as this is the most advanced and all in one solution. But be aware that if you start from an already cooked ROM you may face many kinds of problems because many cooks have applied methods to prevent dumping their ROMs.
Good luck!

Thanks for you reply!
But, to pass from Winmo 6.0 to Winmo 6.1 or 6.5, do I need 6.1 or 6.5 builds (xip,sys)?
Where can I download these build?

Oh well - you are much on your own with this old stuff now. Usually you cannot do much to the XIP (Kernel) parts as they are largely HW dependent. SYS is part of the ROM anyway and so part of regular cooking. Lookup the forums for your device and download what you can get. If it is an exotic device your chances are ~zero to get anything useful. If you have no experience in cooking it is a very long way to succeed (talking in weeks and months of learning!) - and there no others fighting the same problems any more. Look up the introduction link from my signature to get an idea of how things are connected.
What is your starting point (HW, ROM) and where do want to go?

TOBBIE, in practice I want to use Os Kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628948) because it's very simple to use.(I can alredy use it).
I downloaded but when I open it, I have the first screen (that showed in the thread). Is written: "....please, select an official rom update file..." It refers to an update Windows Mobile Build for cook the Rom.
So I searched Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 Builds. I found 2 very good Builds from Da_G :
-6.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547314
-6.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445
But ALL Links don't work and I ABSOLUTELY need this Build, without it, I can't cook...

Sorry, I have no experience with OS Kitchen. I have only used OS Builder finally and a very old device specific batch-kitchen before this.

Thanks, Can i give you "THANKS"?
But with wich build did you used to cook?

Well first you need to split smartphone (no touchscreen) from touchscreen devices.
I have cooked only for smartphone -> see my signature kitchen and stuff is all there.
Then find a stock ROM for the right type (smartphone or touchscreen) with largely similar properties (screen resolution, maybe also CPU/Chipset).
Can't you tell which device you want to cook for?

I want to cook for my Toshiba Portege G910 with WinMob 6 Professional.
It's touchscreen, it has Qwerty Keyboard, it has Wvga Resolution 800x480. There is not even a rom for this device.
But I want to cook in Italian language, (I'm italian )

This will be tough I guess. Mind that a new ROM will not change the kernel, so any of the new memory schemes introduced with W6.1 and WM6.5 will not apply even if you put a new OS on top of it. So basically you will not gain speed with a new ROM. Adding a language is a tricky thing but is possible, see my signature, even without cooking an all new ROM. So is there no Italian on the device at all?

Oh, I'm sad for this: no extra speed
When I bought, my phone had italian language.
The Toshiba Portege G900 is very very similar to my G910. Also the G900 has WinMob 6.0 Pro.
An Italian guy made a Winmo 6.1 rom for the G900 (in italian language), and now the G900 is very very fast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4h23pR6JbI
I want to this with my G910, IT'S possible. Salvyc83 do this
(But now he can't help me)

Search for speed tweaks on WM6 if you are happy with the device otherwise. The effort to cook a well running 6.1 is enormous and it is not guaranteed if you get it faster on the UI then.
There are various registry settings to play with which can make the UI faster responding (cache for icons or fonts).
Good luck!

I need too to learn cooking roms. I will follow this thread.
