Hi,
I've been searching this forum for quite a long time now (months by now, in intervals of course), and I have not been able to find an updated 'clean/light ROM'. With clean/light, I mean stripped of all unneeded stuff to boot. A true barebone...
The only ROM I was able to find, is the one Onkolog made some time ago, but (s)he decided to abandon the project for personal reasons. (this project was updated last in July 2009)
The only 'clean ROMs' that I can find, are ROMs that 'don't add a lot of stuff' (some that only remove the HTC-interface). But they mostly still contain stuff like Office, Youtube, etc. etc.
There was some discussion here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830951&page=2
Also, there is Siemens Lover's WM 6.5 Clean ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634514
I have NOT tried any of those "clean" ROMs, so you have to check for yourself...
Thanks
Thanks for your reply, but those are not clean as what I call clean.
Both contain unneceray apps.
The first link contains among other things: Office, pocketRAR
The second link I am using now, but contains all kinds of apps too, like: Office, Media Player
What I mean is a 'truly clean ROM', only the base OS (What you get when you disable Titanium or Sense) and no other unnecessary (for OS-purposes) apps. It can of course contain some optimizations and/or driver updates, but that's it.
this belongs to general thread since it has nothing to do with development
try several roms and decide which one suits you best i suggest kwbr (it has just a few oem apps) it is far most stable and fast...you might want to try titanium version since it has most free space,that will enable you to install whatever you want (mobile shell,wad etc)
mods please close this thread,or move it,doesn't matter
Apologies, you're right. My thread should belong in General. And please don't close the thread, cause it DOES matter to me.
I have tried a lot of ROMs, and I haven't found any truly clean one (save Onkolog's, but that one is getting 'old')
no,really try kwbr,you won't regret it at all
try titanium version if you want to install some home replacement eg spb mobileshell
if you want sense or manila try com3 versions with those two
Dude, if you want a really clean ROM, try onkolog's cookies. His thread is somewhere here, just use search.
Oh, here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502618 (both 6.5 and 6.1)
@ lenwar,
what is ur point looking for such a ROM?
The Progs that u do not want take a minimum space and use no memory when they r disabled, so i do not understand why r u looking for such a naked ROM? can u explain plz?

@SiemensLover
By clean OP means not just "some speed improvements and everything is stock" but a really cleaned up ROM without WM and HTC crap, so HE can decide what to use in his device.
And what should/should not be included in such a ROM?

Well, just essentials that keep our device running (drivers, wmp [because of hardware acceleration] etc.). Something like that.
What should be added and what not
@Siemenslover
The idea, as stated by others is to have a clean phone, with as little preinstalled applications on it, as possible. Of course most applications/features take a minimum amount of resources, and basically 'just sit there', but it's also the principle to not have all kinds of stuff on my phone, that I don't want.
The most ideal would be to strip everything except for the following:
Basic Windows Mobile (so the start-button, and the screens you get when you browse through your apps and settings)
Phone
Messaging
Contacts
Calendar
File Explorer
ActiveSync
Camera
And the following as removable packages (or provide the packages loose (unless they are available elsewhere on xda-developers (haven't looked))):
QuickGPS
The picture viewer
WMP
Internet Explorer
That's it... The above is what I call "clean", package wise.
Just add (about) three standard ringtones and message-tones (preferable some neutral one's)
Check Onkolog's latest ROM's as a reference. He provided what he removed/kept out in his ultra lite ROMs... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502618
why bother,get yourself a nokia hehe just kiddin
I will post an ULTRA Clean ROM (in a new thread), soon!

cisto radi pravila cu ja sad da puknem nesto ko da lafo pricamo
well,yes it is,but interesting thing about kwbr rom is that it made me like sense,which is very quick in this rom (although i hated sense before trying kwbr,because sense roms were sooooo slow....i believe because other chefs put latest versions which are LEO builds,and kwbr used a bit older version which is a RHODIUM build...he's a brilliant cook)
cheers

HELP ME PLEASE !!!!!!
I downloaded the XDA special edition ROM but I want to convert back to Windows CE or Windows 2002.
I am new with one of these and have absolutly no idea what I am doing.
Can anyone help me.
I made a huge mistake and hopefully someone out there can help me fix it.
Thank you!!
XDA Developers ROM is a PPC2002 OS ... what's wrong with it ?
or you mean you want your old original ROM ?
I would like my old original ROM...
O, man!
How could you! SER v1.2 is the best 2002 ROM ever produced! You just ignore or erase things you don't need!
What exactly you do not like about it?
Colors? There are tons of software to change it, most of it have very useful functions (WisBar)!
Programs running on StartUp? \Windows\Startup and erase the link!
Equipement? Lots of freeware included in the very ROM - the best way to save memory - my system now takes 3.8Mb, the rest is FREE!
+ Tweakers
+ No SIM lock
+ Useful stuff I had to pay for is now included for free (freeware alternatives of progs I used - Calculator, Browsers...)
+ SIM Toolkit, Players, Messagers, Launchers, Stopwatch, Personal Ringtones...
Conclusion: the only way to make me leave this ROM is to produce WM2003-based one!
Think twice before you do so!
ok, but we wait for one for XDAII too!!

Already done....
Take a look at http://www.xda-developers.com/ROMkitchen/
Special Edition ROMs are soooo yesterday.... We're proud to unveil our largest project yet: ROMkitchen. Now you too can modify your ROM to contain precisely what you need. Create your personal ROM, based on the ROM you like.

It does indeed seem that MS have pulled this already. Wonder why?

maybe they released a buugy one... but... shouldn't they pull back win95, 98, ......., Xp, Vista ?
muahahahaha... ahem, back to work...
German CAB
Gentlemen and Gentleladies,
here is the German CAB:
http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=394176
When installing the CAB a strange error message popped up (a bubble without text, just offering a YES and a NO button). I pressed the YES-button (no risk, no fun), and the CAB installed without any further problems.
I tested all applications, and they work like a charm. No big changes, but obviously new office'07 templates (e.g. .docx) are being used as default. A good thing is that the programme icons have been changed and look much nicer now, a bad thing is that the progs are really eating RAM (I lost approx. 5 MB compared with the situation before install!). Too me, it looks as if this is mainly due to some big new .dll's that are being placed in the windows directory. I assume that for any other software company the huge memory consumption would be a reason to withdraw the progs, but with MS I am not so sure...
Does' anyone have the msi file with all language (I wan't italian)
What difference is this from the offic2007 cabs that are in some of the wizard roms?
Do you have a French version ?
Looking for this version ...
Edit : I just seen that it's my first post and I am on this forum every week since years ! Just few words to say you a big Thank U for all your great work at XDA !

Great but please, PLEASE, let's forget this piece of sh*t useless sucker site called Rapidshare, once and forever.
There are so many MUCH BETTER file sharing sites out there.

Thanks so much for this!
But I note that on the Aximsite.com forum
(http://www.aximsite.com/boards/mobi...grade-microsoft-office-2007-file-formats.html) there's a screenshot which shows OneNote Mobile as well. I wonder if that's part of this upgrade or not.
Yeh and also, RapidShare really sux! Still cant download. Trying the MegaUpload version now.
I have the french version. Just tell me how to upload it somewhere on the web to share it.

thanks~~
where r the experts?
we viva users are so eager for a better ROM than the official one~~
yea i agree
yea i agree with you man we deserve to get better room than this offical one lol
remove ALL unnecessary apps... JUST leave the Windows OS and don't put themes, make it ALL original Windows OS...
if the app can be installed in the storage card, why do you have to include it in your cooking?
i don't know what's the purpose of cooking roms if it doesn't make the phone faster, better and LIGHTER!
more MEMORY - the most important thing.
if i have the time i will learn how to cook the LIGHTEST ROM ever.
thts goood.i also want such a rom. by the way i say i dnt like all winmo 6.5.1 roms due to one mistake..thts the htc notifications..i cant think a reason why its needed wen microsoft implemented its own more beautiful method chefs plx do a clean rom

do you have these ones for the Hisilicon version?
Sorry, only have the Marvell ones at the moment.
Will this work on the T3232 clone (Marvell PXA310)?
Should be ok, mine is the same processor as well.

1. It doesn't have 3G.
2. The back of your phone (under the battery) has chinese characters and has also written HTY
i don't think it has diffrences... oo yeah... it has one: if it is a clone, it will have 624 MHz CPU
later edit: by the way.... this way you can know only if it is a clone ... to discover if it is a clown you have to go to the circus (just kidding)
