[ROM][29-Oct] WM6.5 Rom 23016 WWE cruiserrr [Lite and XDA builds] - Touch Cruise ROM Development

430 downloads of the diff versions uploaded so far !!!!!
Hi, I finally decided myself to learn how to cook. Thanks to swtos and pcarvalho for their roms and specially thanks to gullum for sharing his wm6.5 kitchen. Since he published it, the polaris section has seen quite a few new cookers. Thanks also to Bluemetalaxe for the Icons and a general thanks to all the xda contributors (TMC, 6gf8's PowerRadio, XDA_UC, bl05, ervius's kitchen and tools...). It is being a lot of fun so far !
It is may first ROM ever, I recommend the ROM to anybody using wm6 or even wm6.1, people with slow devices, people with big thumbs and people with lots of programs. How does it compare to other ROMs? No Manilla oriented, it is rather focused on how to keep the machine clean and fast while having efficient navigation to lots of programs (many programs can be installed silently without leaving duplicate files into windows folder and many other programs do not need to be reinstalled after a hard reset if kept in the SD. They only need shortcuts and sometimes a few reg keys / files to be restored).
Versions available: LITE / XDA
How is the Xda & OpenGL/Freeware ROM?:
Storage: 133,79 Free 121,47 / Program: 100,83 Free 50,91
Latest developments: More and more shortcuts replaced/added, HardLeys reconfigured, Backlight fixed, Power Radio and Quick GPS background as theme. Update Recommended. Help wanted from other cookers/testers please see the post "To do list/help wanted"
Excluded: Manila, Calculator, FM Radio, Office Mobile, OneNote, Sample Music, Google Maps, HTC Task Manager
Included: Net CF 3.7, BT Jetware Extension, Showcase, HGPS Switch, EZInput, Album, XDA_UC, Power Radio, Most of HTC Mega, BL05, PIM BackUP 2.8, PHN NotePad, Cyberon VSD, FDC Soft Task Manager, ACR, Second Today, Opera, YouTube, Mortscripts (Screen Rotation), cruiserrr customization (IE to SD, RSS to SD, Folders to SD, etc)
Links To SD (install the programs to sd\program files first, then flash the rom): Office Mobile, Google Maps, PocketScreen, XNView,
Links To SD (Commercial software): IGO, SKTools (and icons to diff sk tools), SK Tracker, SK smgr, Resco Explorer
Check here known bugs.
It is an ongoing development so each day the ROM will have more icons converted and more shortcuts to SD, etc. Links to commercial software will be kept in a separate folder "SD Icons" for the time being. I plan to do a mortscript that allows to customize which icons to install or to do a mirror structure of folders or to integrate in normal folders only in a "full" version.
How is the Lite ROM?: I would say it is fast!
Storage: 143,00 Free 136,00 / Program: 100,83 Free 53,32
Latest developments: Same as XDA Rom
It is like the XDA ROM but does not include Cyberon Voice Speed Dial, Sun Java, Opera, Audio Booster, Audio Manager, RSS Hub, Streaming Media, TouchFlo, Voice Recorder, HyperGPS, Power Radio, Second Today, PIM BackUP, PHM NotePad. Please report any links included by mistake.
Cabs post
Common to both:
1. No radio included. 1.59.XX.XX is what I use / No initial splash integrated (can use this one), flash without fare / Non bootable from SD, needs pc to flash it / Usual disclaimers apply.
2. Folders and shortcuts rearranged, using basically Bluemetalaxe Icons
3. No additional footprint: registry keys not used are deleted, icons replace the original ones, etc. (ongoing work to clean garbage left by the flash process in \windows like provxml files, duplicate shortcuts, etc).
4. After flashing XDA_UC will start and install any tsk/cab/reg/xml etc silently. Please look in the forum for instructions on how to use. After first boot, the network customization will be launched and showcase will be fully configured ("X" at the top-right corner).
5. Mortscript will be used but only "static" mortscript so not to penalize performance/battery: no scripts doing this and that every x time. Only scripts based on system notifications or processes.
If somebody wants a naked version I will be happy to remove any programs you ask me to whenever a cab installation is available.
If somebody wants a standard or full version, ... well.... do not ask me to do it better than pcarvalho or kostas or gullum, in fact this rom has no development, is mostly customization and benefits from their work and others with the new builds porting and the kitchen release and the software integration.
Beta testing only (see above for stable versions): Lite + Many shortcuts
I will appreciate suggestions, feedback, help, etc.
Hope you like it !

Tweaks
- Initial splash sound removed (not the beeps)
- Pictures stored in SD card
- IE stores information in SD Card
- RSS Hub reads / saves info to SD Card
- Cleartype and ct rotation activated
- GPS Camera activated

Cab's links / location
Install to SD/Program Files:
Office 2007 into SD Card

Bugs / Known Issues
Common:
- Does not contain mainsplash (I will explain / give link on how to change to whatever you want) so most of you will continue seing the pcarvalho initial picture (kostas rom I think does not include the initial splash either)
- Does not load from SD, requires ActiveSync connecion + bootloader
- Some icons still to be replaced
- Usual Garbage in c\windows: proxxml and duplicate png/lnk files.
- Pending to include XDA calculator.
- wrong build id shown on deviceinfo
Lite version:
- Pending to remove voice recorder icon or to point it to sd.

To Do List
Here I include the issues I want help for:
-sync with cell tower at startup
-rapidshare/megaupload storage
-no popup when 100% battery charged. It is a pain if you use IGO
-merge initial splash
-clean files used in the installation (provxml, lnk, png, etc.)
-include cabs in the installation
-force soft reset at the end
-split all htc packages not needed in the naked rom (I only want to keep what is needed for album)
- .bat file to upgrade rom version and provxml, depending on a parameter captured in a text file (does it exist?)
Help wanted: I would like to do the job in a COM3/4/5 build rather than in 23016 since the future brings us there ... but 23016 works like a charm. If anybody can help porting to 23060 or 23071 I would appreciate

Screenshots please. Thanks for your work. If u need a beta tester tell me.

How did you activate you GPS Camera? By modifying Registry code? Could you please teach mehow to do that?

That's not correct ! it is 23016. I will correct the provxml file informing that. Thanks for noticing.
I want to try 2305X or 23071 but I still do not know how to port the build...

Feedback please...
Any feedback?

As I say on the notes, I will be happy to create the naked version but I need YOUR help. Please, let me know wich programs do you want to remove from the lite version, but please do not tell me ALL. I need to remove programs one by one not to affect the wm6.5 core.
Edit: first naked rom in 1st post. thanks phnikola Not too happy so far though

Naked version needed
HI
Thanks for the quick reply.
you can remove as many programs ( maximum ) as you wish without affecting the wm 6.5 core
plus these programs also should be removed
MSOFFICE
SD ICONS
GOOGLE MAPS
IGO
WINDOWS MEDIA
LIVE SEARCH
POCKET RAR
FILE EXPLORER
KEEP THESE PROGRAMS
BACKLIGHT
SETTINGS (ALL)
CONNECTION ( REMOVE STREAMING MEDIA )
TOOLS ( CORRECT THE LINKS )

IF YOU NEED ANY PROGRAM MENTIONED ABOVE FOR ADDING IN ROM ASK ME I SHALL FEEL HAPPY TO PROVIDE YOU .
Thanks

Hi, you are going faster than I do!!!!! I am at home this week with the flu so I have been able to go faster than normally I will do. My roms are "SD oriented" which means you will have a set of minimum icons (eg. office, igo and google maps). Neither of these programs is installed in the lite rom, only the icons. Today I will publish a naked one (beta) that I did with the help of phnikola. It does not include titanium and exinput and any htc enhancements. It includes showcase and all "my stuff". It is beta, I think the lite version is only 5 megs more (mostly keyboard and album) and runs even faster and the scroll is much better so far.
For your post, I think the best for you would be to download gullum kitchen and follow the short directions given in his first post. In 5 minutes you could be flashing your first rom and in 5 more minutes you could removed all unnecessary stuff to have your naked rom. and it is fun also to have your own rom.

ROMkitchen are out of date..... Who wants to change????

Hello XDA users....
I think you know it all, that the ROMkitchen is a fine application to get our device nearly perfect.
But the ROMkitchen is out of date. This means many applications aren´t not in the actual version. Therefore Auburnham and I thought to update the applications.
The problem is, that the amount of added applications to the kitchen is to big to make this happen by us two. Because of this problem I´m searching for some people, which wants to help.
Another problem is, that you need for this a device that haven´t got installed that piece of software. This means that when you want to help me with Phonext for example, you must have a device without any version of Phonext installed.
So, if you are going to help me make a snapshot of your device with the ssnap - Application.
Install the software.
Make again an Snapshot of your device with the ssnap - Application.
Send these two files to [email protected] with inforamtion about the program you have installed and the exact Version you have installed.
When I´ve got analyzed the two files i will reply to you with a wishlist of files that have been created on your device. After sending me the files, i can update the kitchen....
IF there are any quesions or anything else, feel free to contact me....
Regards
Stefan
Good Idea :
I'd be happy to contribute.
Tell me which application you want me to install and I'll do it provided that I find the procedure (that I've seen being posted elsewere in this forum).
NB : I'm using XDA I with a Frenchy 3.16 and be stuck with it :evil: ; so there is no chance for me to re-build a new a geniun 3.16 Rom again.
My XDA is all up and running.
I've overcome my Language FRA error message after purchasing a SD card reader and loading the ROM through the bootloader. 8)
Now, I'm about to install ttn 3 on my XDA. Do you want list it in your kitchen ?
What do you need exactly ?
I would be happpy to help. I am a regular user of your site and appreciate the effort that has been put into it.
I understand the effort needed to keep things working and up to date.
Pierre
I'm in!!
Just let me know what you need and when and I will maker every endevour to help.
Thanks for all you do

I've sent these snapshots off to Stefan, along with the files that I thought might be necessary for these programs. This is going to be great for all of us, but a lot of work for Stefan. We all owe him a great deal, so take him out for a nice meal the next time you see him.

I don't want to make this any more complicated than it is, but for some programs, it just doesn't make any sense to install to the XDA memory. Most of the media players and "Misc" programs just take up too much unnecessary device memory when they would work just as well on the SD Card (if that's available).
The problem is that those huge programs require just a few small files to be placed on the device itself. So after installing a few of these types of programs, you've used up a lot of device memory from these small files, even though you installed the program to your SD Card.
Is there a way to alter the kitchen a bit to allow cooking of the necessary device files only, and allow the user to later install the program to the SD Card (being careful not to overwrite the files in ROM with files in RAM)?
For instance, with the TomTom program, if you start with a clean ROM and SD card, take a snapshot, then install the program to your SD card, then take another snapshot, you could determine what files need to be on the device, and what files don't need to be on the device, and allow users to either cook the entire program or just the necessary files in the ROM. (Note: This is a good example of a run-on sentence). Would this be a difficult feature to add to the kitchen?

Maybe the esiest Option is adding a new Select Point for the kitchen like "misc", "System Tools", "Phone" ....
This means having the programs double in the kitchen, but how cares.
I don't know exactly, but when you install a program to the SD-Card, could you select the part where to place it?
If yes, this could be a big problem. Many of the programs store the path in the registry.
If no, i could also provide a ZIP-file, where the rest of the programfiles are in, hust to unzip to the Storagecard.....

I believe this really depends on (1) how well the program was written, and (2) if you can install the program with CabInst (i.e. has a cab installation).
For example, I try to keep my SD Card organized and tidy so if I use CabInst I install the program to an appropriate folder on the SD Card. If I have to install the program from the desktop, I install the program to the SD Card root, then try to move the program to an appropriate folder and update the shortcut. Most of the time this works without even changing any registry entries, but sometimes it doesn't. Two examples from the above list of applications are AOL Instant Messenger 2.0 and Pocketmind PocketMusic 3.0. To function correctly, they both need to be in their original installation folders on the SD Card.
But perhaps the best solution would be to have an associated .zip file to go on the SD Card, as you suggested.
Shawn
Now the kitchen should be up 2 date again.
Only missing is PocketConsole and the Part "Software that needs to register"
So happy cooking and again Thx a lot to all users that helped me.....
Stefan
A Windows-way for cooking a ROM would be great for two reasons: 1) Don't hassle your server with lots of traffic and 2) Practical. Advanced users could cook a ROM without having a PC with Unix.
For example I tried cooking the Spanish version of the ROM and not all the programs I chose were installed and the worst thing is that the boot logo was just garbage, it was showing program code on the screen as a logo

Marton

Ok. Fixed the problem with the bootscreen.....
Tried also adding as much application, and all have been installed.
Can you tell me, what files / programs are missing?
No one else told me that there have been a problem wirth this ROM. I think it's because of the situation that most of the useres are using WM2003 ROMS....
You can also use the kitchen under "Windows" just have to set up a Cyguin environment on your system....
Also i didn't know how many Kitchen's are implemented by other users, but mine one is the only "official". You can't believe that everyone would be able to set it up.......
Stefan
Thanks Stefan!!!!!!
Now it seems to work but if EzWAP is selected, it throws a Log error when trying to cook...
Cheers,
Marton
P.S.: Do you know if a Spanish WM2003 exists?
Edit: This is the error:
Cannot fit files in given sections
Error splitting files
Just cooked a ROM... I selected the "Windows Mobile XDA" Boot Screen and now it is not garbage anymore but now it shows mirrored and upside down...
Any ideas?

***panosha Butterfly, Clean ROM***

Clean ROM !!!
This ROM is based on official HTC WWE 1.25.405.1 / 5.2.1623 OS (build 18129.0.4.5) ROM and does not include radio.
First you must flash HardSPL from here thanks Olipro.
After unzipping the file you have downloaded, you must run from your desktop PC the ROMUpdateUtility.exe with your device in bootloader (pres and hold camera button and do a soft reset) with the battery above the 50%. Follow the instructions on the screen.
The ROM is fast, stable with some registry tweaks and modifications, includes only the essential files.
Recommended for experienced users who can easily install their favorite programs.
The device starts with 148,54 from 152,34 MB storage and ~71 from 100,77 MB programs memory.

Do not forget to Think twice with Butterfly !!!
You have 2 SIM Manager shortcuts in Programs, one in main and another one in Accessories folder. You can delete one of them without risk.
With resco explorer go to Windows\Start Menu\Programs. Here you can rename empty Games folder in Apps.
Use Accessories & Apps folders to move here shortcuts from Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

Thank you Panosha - truly excellent !! Exactly what I had hoped for.
Even your Registry tweaks saves me some effort. I also use a phone skin that I found through the Eten forum (zpleaf.cab) and some other registry edits, but your Butterfly ROM is perfect.
Your Splash screen is way more visually interesting than the original from HTC as well.
Dancing with the ROMs!!!
keep up the good work

OK, here's where I'm at with this excellent ROM:
1) I confirm that Oxios memory does *not* work with the P3650. Installs ok, and all registry entries/values are the same as those on a WM6 device where the program does work, but it will simply not start
2) Both Sprite Backup 6.1.0 and Spb Backup 1.6.3 do *not* work with the P3650. Both install ok, but Sprite just says "unexpected error" and Spb complains it can't read the sfx module (whatever that is). Spb Clone also falls over with a pathetic message "cannot generate cloned image". Suprisingly, Sunnysoft Backup 4.0.0.2 does work (it's the only one here not specifically aimed at WM6 !)
3) The P3650 GPS works ok with later programs (not just SatNav), but earlier programs (ie. before WM5) have problems, because they need a hardware port to connect to (they are unaware of "Windows automatic management") and the P3650 GPS chip does not supply a hardware port for them
4) phone (inc 3G/HSDPA), BT, WLAN, GPS, SDHC (8Gb card) all work ok
5) I've made some inroads into building my installation, and Storage stands at ~143Mb, with RAM ~68Mb
6) speed/response are very, very good
Maybe this device will do ... I'm still some way from the "entertainment" section (not very important to me) but progress is steady now I'm sure of at least 1 working backup/restore program

I have seen this messege in the past in my kaiser withe some setups, without explanations. Right now Sprite backup 6.1.0 build 2192 works perfect.
Thanks for your support.
WHere to find touch keyboard? This is pretty important piece!
Official install though, not one in kaiser forum cab list.. does not work right.
------------------
lol but has other stuff in it only need keyboard!
oh well i try both at some point!
Sorry, this is clean ROM. I don't have official touch keyboard in cab file.

Yes, but unhappily Sprite 6.1.0 build 2192 is the one that falls over on me. However, Sunnysoft 4.0.0.2 has proved reliable.
Next step - and I'm sure this is not your Butterfly ROM: some programs simply will not install on the card; install messages say they do, but the card exe files are somehow corrupted, minus their icon, and very slow to directory list. Such programs do install OK on Storage, but I cannot find a pattern yet as to which ones show this behaviour. I have analysed the card (8Gb SDHC) for bad sectors, both on the device and on my PC, but this is not the cause.
Examples so far ? VM Network Browser, Engineering Calc, SciCalc, Pocket Mechanic, Resco Explorer. All of these installed on the card in the X500 and P3600i WM6 and worked without fuss. At this point, I think this a P3650 characteristic that I do not understand. Perhaps it is tied into how the device uses RAM/Flash: I've been using SKTools to check RAM leakage periodically, but this has been tiny so far (~50Kb) compared to both the X500 and P3600i (~2000Kb).
I also feel the Radio ROM is buggy - sometimes works at g speeds, sometimes not, this seems random. I vaguely remember a post about last November attributing the late retail release of the device to HTC having large problems with the Radio ROM ... maybe so ?

Later ... I have no real idea at all why this worked, but the problem described above was steadily worsening (time to kick the garden gnome !!), so in desperation:
1) I noted one such installed program on the card that was misbehaving (no icon, slow and corrupted behaviour)
2) removed the card from the P3650 and stuck it into my X500 to see if *that* device saw it as corrupted. Nope - program perfect and ran ok
3) put the card back in the P3650 and all the bad behaviour was gone !!
No real clue, maybe the X500 treatment changed an essential byte ? I'll leave it to the experts, I'm just adding programs mechanically now
Can you send me one or two of these programs ?

Yes, of course - some are simple freeware (like EngCalc http://www.freewareppc.com/calculator/engineeringcalculator.shtml) but the problem is gone. It was not your ROM, that is brilliant !!
I put the card in the X500 device and installed one of these programs. It installed and ran perfectly. So I transferred the card back to the P3650 and everything worked perfectly again (Sprite, Spb Backup & Clone all work now)
My best guess is that installation in the X500 re-wrote some essential byte in the card FAT ...
I am grateful for your ROM, I am building a very useful device with it
Does this ROM still have the Touch keypad? Not the Touch keyboard.
No Touch keypad.
Do you know where it can be found?
Can anyone please explain to me what SAPSettings is? And what does it mean when radio is removed? What's the point of radio?
Radio waves are used to transmit voice and data between the device and the networks. Without radio, you've paid a lot of money for not a lot!

[New]Gloomy´s Win Mobile6.5(BETA1) Pro(QVGA)For_HTC BlueAngel

xxxx://www.zxxxu.com/download/3320666/6.5Beta1.rar.html
Based on Sundreams and Xplode´s work, ringtones and kitchen from Swampy and other bits credit to their respective authors
Finally thanks to mikrosoft for providing an open source mobile platform, errr ok scrap that last bit...
FeatureS:
No Ram disk
UC Capable *
A few customized logos and ringtones (Simpsons, StarWars)
fully integrated psshutxp (REBOOT) and akwifitoogle (WIFI_ON_OFF) in Start menu
Screenlock in Start menu (once active press mail + calendar to unlock the screen)
Space invaders in Games
Autorun for ExtROM is working
*SDAutorun runs but .cabs have to be hardcoded to install on SD Card or else will be installed in Storage
Tips:
Do not install CHome and manila2d together as they don´t like each other.
Use the WIFI_ON_OFF program if having trouble with wlan, it can be very handy
Known issues:
Given that CHome is still buggy I recommend to stick to manila2D (and it is part of the ExtROM file included)
GSPlayer complains on first run about being unsigned and hence unable to run, but second time works
I tried to load newer versions of Manila and HTC Album but both .cabs wouldn´t load
ExtROM:
http://www.zxxxu.com/download/3323355/ExtROM_6.5.rar.html
ExtRom contains:
1-AudioManager_2.0.1819.3326.cab
03_HTC_Album_2.0_1818.3829.4.cab
14_BnG_M2D_0.11.allDevKnobiSkin.cab
01_HTC_Enchasements.CAB
08_M2D_PIE_FIX.cab

not works
hi, this rom is not works, i try it.
this may be off topic - but i am new to the world of PDA's and cooked ROMS - so far i have used sundreams WM6.1 and now have WM6.5
Could someone please explain to me what the RAMDISK is all about? - and why so many people refer not to have it?
it is a virtual disk eating your ram
It is good for other PDAs where for technical reasons if you don´t have the ramdisk you simply waste that space.
In the Blue angel there is no such problem, so no ramdisk equals more ram
Download site not working
Hi Gloomy,
Is there any site where I can download your latest ROM?
Regards,
George
I Don't download this files beacause...
dear sir,
thank you for your rom , bu when I try to download this file from rapidshare , this message shows for me :
"This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.
This limit is reached.
To download this file, the uploader either needs to transfer this file into his/her Collector's Account, or upload the file again. The file can later be moved to a Collector's Account. The uploader just needs to click the delete link of the file to get further information."
if it possible, please reupload this file.
very very thank you for your attention.
This weekend I will cook another 6.5 hopefully this time UC capable.
I am afraid in rapidshare it can only be downloaded 10 times.
If somebody knows of a better upload site that does not require registration, please let me know

try sharecow.com, no registration needed
Register on megaupload.com it can be downloaded maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany times =)
try www.sendspace.com NO REG NEED
Mediafire is better than them all, because it doesn't require anything and it doesn't have any limits, or time counters!
See first post for updated files and download links
Ok I have opted for ziddu, see first post
Feel free to re-upload it to your favourite site and post the links for the community´s benefit
good job bloomy, it's very stable rom.
Any guidance on installation procedure - explicit and simple instructions?
QUOTE=superflyboy;3239489]Any guidance on installation procedure - explicit and simple instructions?[/QUOTE]
create folder ExtROM in your SDCard
unpack the content of the ExtROM.rar file on this folder (should be containing .cab and a few other files=
put BA in serial mode
run BaUpgradeUt.exe to flash the rom
hard reset once it finishes
Then let the instalation continue, should be 5 more minutes.
Your phone will soft-reboot automatically
and you will be presented with the manila2d interface

Any help, please. Thanks. (Backup & Restore)

hi everyone!
I have one concern which has troubled me for a while now.
I used to update Dutty's Rom.
And his work is quite impressive.
He changes/updates a new version every 10-20 days.
I usually install 20-30 applications after I reflash new ROM.(CABs)
My concern is how can I install/configure the softwares in a quick way every time after I flash the new ROM.
Is there any free software can install all the CAB files under specific folder at one time?
Or is there any backup tools can backup all the software/configuration I installed at the first time, so I can restore them after I flash the new rom.
How do you guys solve the problem?
Please share your ways and thoughts.
Thanks.
Regards,
William.C
this is good.. to add on, how about my contacts, their pics.. my sms etc etc

hi thank you for your reply.
I like ur blog, 300->370 well done!
I hope i can do this as well.
For the contacts, pic I use Oggsync 4.19.
auto-sync the contacts and calendar with your google account(two ways sync)(wifi/gprs).
I use resco backup to backup / restore my apps, but I have the same question, I have dutty's 2.1 and am put off upgrading because of having to re-install each time. is there any easy way?
too bad Dutty's latest ROMs are not UC compatible
so what you want is SASHIMI, a copy here, or here, or google
only problem is that the author, bengalih, had some disagreements/beef/falling out with XDA community
what a shame
his new home seems to be here,
and here are some easy to follow Tutorials
I use Pim Backup and/or Sprite Backup.
But, to avoid interfere with new ROMs, usually install all programs in SD.
So, backing up folder: \windows\Start Menu\ is enough to restore all links to programs later... really fast
But for who wants a real AutoInstaller, I agree with the other post, use SASHIMI
Thanks for those replies, Sashimi looks really useful, but it looks like HD owners need to wait for V8 to appear.

ozmoran, yes you are right but I use onkolog and it's not UC compatible , and many of them are not.
With this software it's easy to install and configure and have a lot more than UC, like copy files, make shortcut, register wifi, etc. Awsome software... try to configure right now
So... no more worries if is UC or not
god day to you!

Thanks for the Info but no one mentioned what Rom they were using they just said Duttys was not UC compatible I was correcting that information.
I guess its up to the original Poster to choose.

iPAQ 91x new ROM plans

Hi all,
Sorry I've been away on a kind of post-graduation hiatus. I have a few remaining commitments this summer that will keep me busy, but I intend to update my released ROMs as follows:
1. Use latest OEM updates from HP's May 2009 official update.
2. WM6.1: update a few apps, remove a few, and switch .NET CF back to 2.0
3. WM6.5: update SYS to build 21725.
4. Scale back "motherload" packages to a standard release setup, "BR ROM"
I can't promise delivery times on this stuff, but if anybody has additional suggestions for the ROMs or new info, I'm happy to hear from them.
Thanks,
-Ben
thank you !!! waiting for your new rom !!!!
I am glad to see your post here.
I am looking forward to meeting new ROM.
hey welcome back, i wonder why you would switch .net cf to 2.0? any issue with .net cf 3.5?
Hi bro nice to see you back again. now our 9x series will rock actually bro its great if you use latest HP update with you own stuff. so basically u have to make something fast and stable. by including useful apps. like
task manager with corner icon on today for closing apps easily. and some other major stuff which is important. you can see some Roms stuff of HTC WIZARD or any other and then compare it with ur Roms. and u can make fully loaded roms as well as light versions as well. as u know ur the best cooker. so wish u good luck.
just try to fix some minor bugs in HP Roms for 9x..
Take care..
Regards
T_T what a touching moment~ god Ben is finally back to us^^
i just got wm reminder today says "the copy of your wm6.5 software is expiring with 30 days, on 1st of july"...... so is that means m$ is pushing us to flash new rom before july, lol~
so far, the 21500 rom seems quite stable on the device, so just keep everything cool~
one small question: how can make the VoiceCMD button back to working (not the software, just the button, i love to assign it as 'task manager')
so, thank you so much Ben in advance, take your time (one month should be enough)
i'll check this post frequently

Hi
im also one of the users that looks for the lightest rom
Anyway if I may suggest something I always wanted to do (maybe one day I will)
but you can be the first to do so
Mega light Rom
First I will explain something I used to call "HR installation"
On the 64mb ram devices I used to save memory (rom and ram) by installing all apps to storage card
then HR my device
and then for every installed app make a shortcut from the "storage card/program file/app-name.exe" to "windows/start menu/programs" (copy exe and paste "shortcut to…" )
any app you have/add in your rom will take device memory
most apps can work directly from storage card (not apps with plugins)
what I'm suggesting is for you to install all the apps you want to the card
then hr your device and make all exe shortcuts of the apps
Cook only the shortcuts into the rom
now you make your rom clean with no apps
the apps that must have plugins can be cooked into the rom or be given as a cab file
(most apps can be found as a cab on xda)
MS office
not all users use MS office on there WM device
MS has issued office 6.1 as an update that can be installed to the card
(I have the cab for wm5 devices)
So you can issue it as a cab only or using the "HR Installation"
But if you use the HR installation for office you must assign all doc/docx to this exe (by using this freeware
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-openwith-v0-1.html
or resco explorer)
What will happen?
when you issue your rom you will give the
1 the clean rom
2 the "program file" folder of your storage card
3 cabs folder
What will the user do?
1 install your rom
2 copy your "program file" folder into the storage card
3 tap on the shortcut he wants from the program screen
(If he doesn't tap on the shortcut it is as if he didn’t install)
This way you can add a lot of apps option but rom will be light and every user will decide what he wants only by tapping on the shortcut
This way of installing is a lot lighter then full installation
Can be improved
You can also add a link (ink) for the file explorer called "shortcuts manager " that will be located "windows/start menu/programs" and will point the file explorer directly to windows/start menu/programs
By tapping on "shortcuts manager" icon the user will be directly where unused shortcuts can be deleted
Such rom will be the lightest and I think the fastest
nice.. can't wait for the update.
well bro also u can use some latest apps in roms. like facebook windows live . some nice task manager. some other tweaking tools mostly used in other devices. so the best is to check some other devices rom postings to get more knowledge of apps and users requirements.
some battery fixes . some registry fixes and tweaking.
specially for most common uses like phone and sms or mms. which need perfection.
and best of luck. i know u will do great job. U ROCK
You do some great work around here. I've only been here for a short while with my 910c... but already your threads have been time and/or life savers...!
A suggestion - I don't know if it's possible, but there are a few registry tweaks around that help increase battery life on the 91x series (see other threads for info). It might be worth while to try and incorporate those into a ROM. I've already manually fixed mine... but a ROM that did it from the start would be golden!
Any news?
Any news on the new ROM?
July the 1st is approaching and I'm getting worried about having my Ipaq 914c blocked
Thanks again
Gunsfan
