WM6 Theme Engine Port for WM5 POSSIBLE? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Hi Guys,
i have a question to all experienced rom cooker. Do u guys think there is any way to port only the Theme Engine of WM6 to WM5 ?
all "crossbow" tsk dont look like the wm6 theme engine.
I only would like to have the style of wm6 on my wm5 device. i tested the wm6 rom and to be honest i like the old style much better. wm6 as a everyday using OS is in my opinion much overloaded. for example sms writing and other stuff is more difficult than on wm5.
thx for sharing ur opinion in advance

I don't know if what you're asking is possible, still I like wisbar for these things even with wm6.
I'm curious though, what's difficult about sms in WM6 ?

I suppose he's talking about the added steps....

What added steps is that? That the left softkey points to delete instead of new?
I also think that porting the wm6 eyecandy to wm5 would be quite hard...

Touchflo on official wm6 succsess

Well, I have cooked a personal norwegian touchflo wm6 rom, based on the new official wm6.
Thanks to tom_codons for the released worling oem touchflo.
And i used gollums touchflo fix, and its not activated by a button, but activated by sliding a finger from top to bottom.
Im not gonna release my rom the way its now (if ever), because I did not implement the touchflo fix in the rom, it was installed with a cab after flashing.
And there is alot of work to do with the rom itself.
But, I have the kaiser home plugin, the touch commManager, the touch dialer and the kaiser networkwizard working.
and I have added a few apps like PIMbackup, total commander2, Sun Java, pocket rar, htc audiomanagerand a few tweeks.
Its running very good.
I just have to figure out to change the pagepool so that wont be needed after flashing, and I need to do some regedits.
If anyone have oem regedits, please provide me with a link. Like in.ex not having the cabs deletet after install, etc etc.
Ill start working on a wwe this week.
Ill was thinking making just a few edits and implement touchflo, so that ppl can have a "clean" os.nb to work with. But im sure some more experienced chefs can tune it way better then me
Congrats - glad you got it sorted. Most of the reg edits are in wiki - majority of wm5 ones apply to wm6. If you have problems let me know. As for pagepool look at the thread in elf upgrading - it worked on my artemis rom so i am sure it will work on your herald, pm me if you need any help.
thx man, it has been quite alot of hrs gone by to get it work, thx to many.
Ill post both norwegian rom and wwe when I belive they are ready, and I will give proper credits to all who has helped providing sollutions.
But be careful offering help, I might take you up on that lol
Zorro helps when he can lol

yes ure right, im sorry bout that. but can somebody tell me if there is a standalone touchflo plugin which i can install on my p4350 herald with wm6?
I'd wait for ITJE's release.
I mean, there's a plethora of different ROMs and setups out there, most of the times overloaded with programs you would never use.
An official WM6 ROM with only HTC Home and/or TouchFlo is definitely what most of us are waiting for.
As far as I know, there is no single CAB to install TouchFlo, while the HTC Home plugin is available on this forum (Kaiser version works fine with our Herald).
Hope it helps.

yeah i know i already installed the htc homeplug from the touch i guess with the 3 tabs and i installed the comm manager from touch/kaiser
so bad that there can not be only one cab file with the touch cube in it ^^
but you are right most of us waiting for a wm6 rom only with htc plug, comm manager, dialer skin and of course the touchflo
Well, my rom is very fast and stable for now, but im still missing a few things I want in it.
touchflo is real good, and buttonfree, its just a slide from top to bottom and its activated, Way cooler then having either soft or hardware button assigned to activate. I think I might work on the WWE (english) side by side with my norwegian, I belive I can have it ready this upcoming weekend, but no promise

Have you done some optimizations to the original ROM? I'm just curious, because I find the WM6 ROM a way slower than the WM5 5.4.xxx.
No other languages will be made but english and norwegian, sorry.
Not in the near future anyway, I still have much to learn, and beeing confused by languages I dont know, well that wouldnt go well
I AM NOT, gonna cook on request, add this and that, sorry.
First I want to cook up a norwegian rom, that is like I want it, and im gonna cook a english rom with touchflo, touch commManager, touch dialer, kaiser network wizard, and some small apps that most ppl install anyway.
If ppl dont like, dont download when its up, its that easy
When I have completed what I want, I will look into doing some requests.
But for now, just the 2 im working on.
Oh, and yes its faster, atleast on my herald, so how it works on others I dont know, I should be same, but I dont know...
I have dones some optimizing and done some tweeks so that it has become better, in my opinion...
BTW, using touchflow almost requires that you use batterystatus and overclock the cpu from 201 to 247. I run 260 on mine, and have done so for a long time.
cheers
Wow, really looking forward to seeing that touchflow ROM. My co-worker told me about it and showed me how it worked. Looked absolutely great.
Overclocking a phone seems a bit alien to me as this is my first windows based phone. Guess I still have a loads to learn
Looking forward to the release of the ROM

ok thanks i will also grab the english language rom, no problem for me
with the overclocking i have a question: with which program did you do this? and what you mean with using batterystatus?
I think your doing a great job cooking this rom I got my herald just this weekend and can't wait till you finish it.
I would rather like a dutch rom offcourse, but WWE will do also.
Anyway, nice job Itje!
Regarding TouchFLO - I'm running PDAVIET TouchFLO on a standard P4350 (no overclocking) - runs fine. I think it's bull to say you have to to overclock to make it run nice. Runs smooth as silk here.
/Inc
well, you must think its bull as much as you want. Ofcourse it runs smooth on a pdaviet, Tom is a wizard with cooking, he and many other have done this stuff many times before, and have tweeked their roms to a level I havnt dreamt about or thought of.
The stuff I now know, its knowlege from hackers like him and others, all I have done is putting that knowlege into a rom, so that I can have my native language with some of the features they have provided us with.
Instead of complainting about things I want and dont want in their roms, I cook my own. I decided to share that I could get it to work on a official rom because so many has asked for it (not from me, but asked in general if someone could do it)
AND..based on a official, unmoded os, with touchflo, YOU try to make it run like the touchflo on toms pdaviet roms, your welcome to try, come on and give it a shot, cook your own rom without tweeking it any and just add touchflo, try before you claim that what I say is bull.
Anyway, after I did a couple of tweeks and edits on the rom, It was better, and actually going ok, but when I overclocked it, its a dream to use.
Maybe some day im gonna be good enough to make a rom with heavy apps running on it without overclocking.
But, Im happy I have achieved my goal. I did what I wanted, cooked my own rom, with touchflo and other stuff.
And I decided to share it, so that if anyone who wants can use it and do whatever
Stop being so self righteous ... it doesn't suit you well.

More Cleaner Version OF TOFLOCK WM6

Guyz please post out the S/W U want in ur Himalaya's(toflock wm6 rom)..and the software u dnt want
here we go again... guys do you really think the new rom is full of junk?... its a clean version for god sake...
Hey....I just asked..

As for me the only two things you could remove are Office and VoIP, but it depends on what you're using your PDA for. As for me it's a phone and mobile office.
If you want to cook your own ROM, just cook it. I said some time ago that I'll release my own, too, but only when I get it really full working. Besides... if you want to, you could wait a bit more, I'm preparing a kitchen with Anichillus.
OK... back to Platform Builder
Gud luck preparin the kitchen...Yeah probably..will chk the dump at nite
Hi,
Add: Shutdown soft, PIM Backup soft, Speakerphone, IM+ or Agile messenger, some *.tsk and rings
Remove: VoIP, Messenger, Windows Live.
but that would make it a less clean version
it would just make it a version which had the software you
like included
Yeah Rudegear is rite..I checked out the dump..Only Ms word.ppt,exel,onenote and more can be removed.
How about creating a list of possible in/excludes with some additional info per item what it would eat in ROM space, if it eats RAM, clock ticks, battery life, clutters registry and so on. Then we can all just vote:
1 in, 2 out, 3 in, 4 in and so on. If lots of us would vote you could just add up the average wish list and bake the most popular ROM ever.
I believe I'd love to see a ROM with Word, Excell, PPT left out. The 3D Cube flash Touchflo clone looks like an appealing replacement for that space, but only if it's stable, doesn't drain my battery and doesn't slow my Hima down.
I agree that that would make it far from a clean ROM, but for me a "clean" ROM is one that doesn't come full of stuff I never use. IMHO you can also throw out the standard games, sample pictures and such crap. But tiny tools and utilities like a registry editor, over/underclocker, personal data backupper in in in please.

I believe that ^^rac tried to use the original HTC TouchFlo. And I believe that will only run smoothly on Hima with a rewritten Hima dll driver.
But there is also a clone Touchflo around that uses no dll, see

Funkee's Rom 6.5

Hi all
have just created a 6.5 rom using the Kitchen on here with the Topaz OEM enhancements Notifications Screen and new style notification messages.
and the R3 Camera and panels manager
have added following panels
generic
R3 Media Panel
On The Road
Google
also
PimBackup
S2u2
and Soft Reset.
is working ok for me so far!
link is as follows.
http://rapidshare.com/files/221283901/RUU.rar
have just realised though you will need to install the ActiveX.cab to get growing panel to work
hi thanks for that but is there a reason why you have s2u2 when win 6.5 already have a decent lock app?

I just wonder if there are any reasons for you to complain about the choises people make about what to include? Why don't you just make your own mix?
it is not a complain but a question and as it is not your rom i recommend you not to answer on behalf of the owner of this post, nobody ask for your opinion thanks.
Wow new cook and rom poping up every where for the X1. I love it, keep up the good work.
The same problem that I have with the original kitchen´s rom: no video playback, also in the windows dir there are some programs (like htc calculator and htc album) that dont have link in programs. Love the notification enhancement, and I hope you can cook the menu enhancement too, it would be the perfect 6.5 rom then

Well, first off all you are writing in a public forum, that means that everyone with rights to publish can answer or give comments.
And have you ever been thinking that the "Chef" is including things to their Rom's because they like it? And probably others that use this Rom like it as well. There are however a lot of good tutorials on how to cook your own Rom's, and the more people cooking the bigger selcetions of Rom's we will have. And the good thing is that now we know that when you publish your own Rom it will be whitout S2U2

WM6.5 VS WM6.1 for imate kjam

Hi, I need an information. Is these wm6.5 roms fast and stable on imate kjam?
Mine slows down after sometime, once I install wm6.5. However, I use my finger for using the phone and wm6.1 though it is faster, it is not finger friendly. What is the best rom for stability, fastness & finger friendliness. Is it wm6.5 or wm6.1. Which rom among this is very fast. Also I use the SPB mobile shell. So with this installed, which will be faster and stabler.
Hey umasiva,
I don't know if the WM6.5 will ever be fast on our Wizards, but I can't really tell, since I have never flashed a 6.5 ROM on mine.
My recommendation is that you use a 6.1 ROM and some 3rd party app to make things more finger-friendly. Check the ROM on my signature, it's not mine, but I really like it. Simple, fast and stable. I'm using ir for over 2 months and no freezes or bugs until now. Even the camera is better than before!
To make things more finger-friendly, there are plenty apps around: iContact for contacts list; Wktask for a little bigger X/OK button; WAD for skinning and changing Today Screen in awfull ways; PCMKeyboard if you prefer the onscreen typing, with bigger buttons...
Just search around and you find many of them
Cheers

Hi Nandobang,
Thanks for your advice. As u were mentioning, I got frequent freezing with wm6.5 roms, as I liked to use it with either SPB mobile shell or more of Pointui. I think I will go back to wm6.1 rom. The only think I like a lot in wm6.5, which I miss in wm6.1 is the smooth scrolling. I dont know whether any application is there to give the feel of smooth scrolling in wm6.5 to wm6.1. If so, please let me know.

How about you go and look in the ROM development forum? I'm sure you'll find something you like in there.
Be sure to read up on how to unlock your phone as well. Also.. While you're at it, check the wiki. There's lots of good stuff in there too.

Looking for a specific sort of ROM...

Searching appears to have failed me, but I'm looking for a up to date, optimized (recent drivers etc), Manila/Sense LACKING 6.1 ROM for the Xperia.
Could anyone provide some guidance with that? I can't really find any
EDIT: To clarify, thats a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM without manila or sense UI
Maybe you should look at the forum? Searching specific terms won't give any good results back.. These roms basically plague the forum, i dont know how you could not find ANY

otherwise, as mentioned it could be worth trying some of the established 6.1 touchflo roms and just disable touchflo. 'pctech4u' and 'touch x' come to mind. check out the rom library, ther might be more
I am on an own-cooked ROM which I can upload for you, or anybody else.
WM6.1 build 21051, no manila, no panels, some little apps that are useful for me and some selected HTC staff like enlarge start menu, volume control, FM-radio etc
I am using it for the last 2 months and it's very fast and stable. Perfect for SPB MS users.
I cannot provide any support though. No much time. Normally you won't need any.
