Hi all,
as most of you probably knows, today an alleged new WM6 rom from PDAVIET has been released.
Far from being 'new', this rom is nothing other than a copy of the leeked WM6 rom we all know plus a lot of 3rd party tools ripped off, without asking permission, from Faria's Aku3.3 rom. An evidence is in the image posted below, it has been found inside PDAVIET's rom but, if you look at the logo, you'll see Faria's name. This is only one of the many evidences i can give you.
Moreover, this rom includes many bugs and inconsistencies due to the indiscriminate mixing of WM5 and WM6 files.
That said, having long discussed the problem with Faria, we've decided to post this message to warn you against this rom and to make clear the following points:
1 - Faria is NOT involved in any way with this rom, the guys who prepared it or the site which originated it. Similarly, he is not involved with any of the WM6 roms you may find in this or other forums/blogs/warez sites.
The presence of documents and images containing Faria's name inside pdaviet's WM6 rom is due to the fact they "borrowed" some 3rd party software made or arranged by Faria himself. This doesn't imply any involment of Faria in the WM6 rom developing/publishing.
2 - The same can be said for all the other developers in this forum: Bepe, Molski, me and others. We are not in any way to be connected to any of the leeked wm6 roms out there.
3 - We, faria and me, strongly advise you against the use of pdaviet rom in your devices. By copying Faria's work and mixing WM5-only with WM6 files without even realizing what they were doing, pdaviet guys have proved all their incompetence in rom developing/cooking. That said, Faria DECLINES every responsibility for every problem you may experience by using his tools inside pdaviet's rom.
4 - Considering the irresponsible and illecit use of his work, Faria decided to stop developing/fixing applications for use in WM6 roms. For this reason, he won't publish anymore programs, fixes or workarounds for any problem/issue concerning any WM6 rom. The development will restart when and whether Microsoft will allow us to post WM6 roms in this forum.
Hoping for newer and better WM6 roms (and for MS's permission to use them ) we want to express you our best regards!!!
Bye bye
Well, I posted immediately upon trying their first attempt it was a botched job from the get go. Sad to hear that Faria is stearing clear of WM6 support but I can't blame him. He doesn't "need" us for anything. He's been doing an awesome job just helping us get up to speed where he already is.
Thanks for all of your help so far Faria. It is much appreciated and you've been very helpful. We will be anxiously waiting for a WM6 release from you and the rest of the gang.
-Mc
Ill wait too for your release of a rom
That will be a long wait probably never because they will only release the ROM when this condition is met:
"The development will restart when and whether Microsoft will allow us to post WM6 roms in this forum."
It's very unlikely MS will allow it
Ill still use the the leaked wm6 rom but will wait for a cooked rom from faria or
the other develepers in this forum that have done good roms.
PDAViet
I'd like to add that the reason to stay away from PDAViet's WM6 ROM is due to moral and ethical reasons of how they used Faria's work.
The actual ROM is considerably faster than the clean WM6 ROM. You need to change a registry key once installed to fix keyboard layout for english users.
It's a shame they released the ROM in such a devious way. If it didn't have Faria's work it would be worthwhile to install until such time as a better WM6 ROM comes along. It's definitely much more useable than the clean WM6 ROM which was doggy slow.
Also, I haven't noticed any additional bugs or inconsistencies other than the clean WM6 ROM.
look people..you can use any ROM you come across,that does not bother us,we got rules in the forum,and so we will obey by them.the xda has given me allot and i for one will only release ROM in here.i owe to the xda.of course that Microsoft will not say "yes u can release" a ROM that is not even in the market,but things will cool down.Microsoft asked us to remove the Roms from the ftp,and they did very politely.now should the site be shut down or sued because we want something that is not even in the market?
just give it a Little more time thats all we ask.
Good Job

After installing and using the 3.3 ROM that you had a hand in cooking I will gladly wait til you can oficially/legally release a cooked WM6 ROM. I agree that it was wrong for PDAVIET to use your work without permission so therefore I would not use that ROM. I understand the time that you put into something just to have it abused. I have learned alot just by reading all these posts and searching through the forums. I have been a member for over a year and really dont post unless its something that I definetely need help with. I would rather find it on my own and understand what Im doing rather than just install something and be completely dumb to what I just installed. Thank you all who are willing to help us and explain.
Makes perfect sence not too rock the boat when theres still so much live in the NEW 3.3 rom you only released this week

I actually was going to download the ROM yesterday and came accross the same views. There are other files in their forum that originate from here.
My view is that if you know of a tool that can help your viewers, explain the tool and link it to the thread that you found the tool at. They did not do that. I do not read Vietnamese but some of the apps I saw there were just blatantly stolen from here.
@FARIA: I truely agree with you when you say that Microsoft has been real good with their attitude with Mobile ROMS. I love their attitude where they have actually been very cool with leaving developers and phone companies develop/change the ROMs according to needs. I truely believe and respect Microsoft for them asking the ROMs to be taken off the FTP and doing it politely. Like I said on my other post, Microsoft attitude has changed for the better and I Love it !
@ Faria, Molski,bepe, risidoro and others :
-----------------------------------------
You guys have been great. Your solutions have truely helped me understand the WM. Without you guy's help, my learning curve would have been way higher. Keep on Keeping on Guys! Any help in reasearching or other you might need, please feel free to contact me.
dont use PDAVIET
i will not use PDAVIET WM6 roms!!
@faria - thanks for everything sir. i will patiently wait for the right time until your ROM arrives. more power
Didn't Faria just rip the HTC X-Button app off and put his name in it?
The 2 programs are EXACTLY alike.
lol not to start suttim but yea gldrush would seem so

Put it this way. All of the cooked ROM are ripped off one way or another because MS never released it to the public. Even the HCT camera app is from HTC. In the mod screen which Faria put his signature you will see below it is "copy right 2000 - 2006" by HTC
I don't understand why some of the Posters in here are taking the "moral" high ground and declare that they won't use PDAVIET ROM, they despite it, etc...
The ROM runs great. The included apps are freeware. The camera app, copyright by HTC but extracted by Faria is posted in this forum and available to any Joe. I don't really care who cooked the ROM. As long as it run fast and good, I will use it. The most important thing for me is a good ROM not who did the cooking.
is the keyboard issue fixed?.. and what about these issues with wm5 files have u noticed them? hows this rom running for u.

The keyboard has been fixed and will work with various language with the correct code (check the thread). I am not sure what WM5 issued that has been raised here. Haven't seen or read any where yet.
is it a little bit faster then the clean one or much faster? i dont wanna go thru reinstalling all my stuff if its just a slight performance increase.. know what i mean?
i cant see pdaviet rom in ftp site!!!can anyone let me know in ftp site in which folder pdaviet rom is so tat atleast i can see rom thorugh my eyes that its been posted or not!!!after that i wanna give my feedback!!
in which folder pdaviet rom is and whats the name of rom!!
...u should maybe READ the other threads.. jesus christ
Check out the dialer included in this rom for the Polaris... from what it looks like, its surely got to be a skin for the Touch-Dual dialer and thats what I need for my Tilt that has the original one extracted by Dutty..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396560
I'm also attaching the picture of the dialer. Its apparently created by one Tom Codon and I've already pm'ed him and have received no reply. I've done some extensive search and haven't been lucky enough to find a cab for this dialer.
So please, if you have a cab for it or know where to get it from.. then help a brotha out.

... Mods.. thanx for moving this into the general Kaiser forum. I'll admit I'm guilty of slipping on purpose and posted in the wrong section... we're all only human! I need this dialer so bad that when I saw Kaiser General - 74 viewers, Kaiser Rom - 225 viewers.. I succumbed! LOL.
You've gotta admit though the dialer is AWESOME looking. I've gotten so used to the touch-dual dialer on my Tilt and this one seems like it would take care of the only gripe I have about it, the key-press accuracy is horrendous on it. This one looks to have much more defined boundaries and the black on white buttons.. all looks just purrrfect!!
PLEASE.. someone doo the kaiser community a favor and get us this dialer!.. Mr. Tom Codon.. hope ur reading somewhere.
the problem with finding the cab is none exist. everyone gets it from tom in OEM form and no one has made the cab yet.
how about making a cab?

Hi Pawel062... thanx for the reply. Although I'm in shock to know that no one of you cooks have compiled the dialer into a standalone installable cab!!?
What would it take for getting one of you guys to do that? I'm serious... (not being sarcastic, but a genuine question)!
In Dutty's public beta test rom dated May 22, this dialer is cooked in. However, he abandoned the rom due the amount of bugs on it, presumably caused by porting the interface from diamond to kaiser. This shows that it can be done though. I have been searching ever since I reflashed to L26's Diamond V5 Hybrid. I loved it, but not enough to keep a buggy, unsupported rom (although it was the best attempt I've seen so far!). I'm sure people are working on it though, but it seems it is not as simple as you might think, and as I thought.
sakajati's latest build, HyperDragon III WM6.1 WWE ROM CE OS 5.2.19588 Build 19588.1.1.4 (Diamond ROM) incorporates some of the diamond interface, such as the comm manager and keyboards, but goes on to say:
"Obviously there is more work to be done. There's some packages from Diamond rom I'm currently working on like the Dialer, Audio Manager, MP3 Trimmer etc."
So it's a case of waiting at the moment. If anyone fancies trying to extract the dialer from Dutty's Diamond rom (May 22) I'm sure there are lots of people who would be very grateful. I toyed with the idea but unfortunately wouldn't have a clue where to start.

thanks for such an insightful reply! I'm gonna stick around to see who compiles a cab of the dailer.. you're right, there would be many takers of such an awesome looking dialer.
I think there should be a dedicated thread in Development and Hacking section which should have all of the dialers being worked on currently and the ones in the past. Come to think of it, the one common thing all these devices do is that they're there to make a simple phone call when one needs to... so why hasn't a dedicated thread been stickied yet? This way one can try out all of the dialers every make/posted on the forums.
Just my 2 cents..

If someone is willing to test for me, I'll compile a cab tonight or tomorrow. It's fairly simple, I've done others for roms past. HOWEVER, I just deleted my last dump though & need the image files in QVGA if someone can get them or dump them that would be great.

i'll test if you let me know when it's done
I need the files though, I can't dump again till tomorrow as I have a social call to make tonight. I am certain I can make it work as a skin real easy, geting the full screen call ID & Call accept/reject may be a different story.
Has anyone the QVGA files for a dump? Who is this mysterious tom? I can get them from a dump of Dutty rom, but I have to do it the old tool imgfs, rev/rec way as it will not cook in a kitchen. I can do it, but it'll take time. Much better if someone can link me to the QVGA images in an OEM, whatever the other chefs are using.
Unfortunately, as mentioned, I've since reflashed from Dutty's Test Rom and just got everything the way I like it with L26's Diamond Hybrid V5, & I don't really have the time to reflash, learn the Rom dumping process from scratch, and then reflash again and set it all back up. If anyone is willing though, we wait anxiously!
If we could dump or extract from a *.nbh, that wouldn't be a problem, but it seems we can't. Otherwise I suppose you'd have done that already!
It's amazing how much you can want something so simple as a dialer skin. I don't think it's even about how nice it is anymore. I just want it cos I can't get it. Just like when I so badly wanted a Wii cos the shops were sold out! (Got one eventually, bit of an anticlimax!)

You can do it. Just not with standard kitchen. I'll do it this weekend I guess.
That would be excellent, but if you could give me more of an idea of what kitchen to use and where to get it I'll sort out the files if it helps. I'm sorry, I've never used a kitchen before or cooked or dumped/reconstructed any roms myself. Not that I couldn't learn to do it. I'm normally pretty good with that kind of stuff. It's just that with the high standard being produced at the moment with WM6.1s, Hybrids and now porting Diamond roms, I know other people are developing things that are way beyond my means as a beginner, so I'm reluctant to get started if you see what I mean!
But I don't mind spending a bit of time figuring this out if it contributes to the cause. If somebody could give me a good clue on where to start, I'll see what I can come up with.
Otherwise, we'll all just sit back and wait for GSLEON3 to do it for us! (Which would be much easier, of course!)
i have dumped and rebuilt roms but i haven't been able to figure out what files are what programs etc. on my phone
now if someone can let me know what folder and files i would need to make a cab file then i could potentially do it. i'm not as special as GSLEON, i don't have an unlimited supply of devices but i do currently have 4 with one more on the way so i can test my cabs

Same here, I think the main problem for me once having the right program and procedure figured out would be grabbing the right files to make the cab.
I'm sure it wont be long before this is about though. Even if GSLEON3 doesn't get around to it over the weekend, it will come soon.
No pressure GSLEON3!
Dear folks:
How many us are really looking for cooking our own rom. Information are scattered here and there and the process is not straight forward. It can be as simple as adding cabs and as complicated as perhaps changing hardware, porting roms to other devices, etc...
I think the reason why there is no tutorial for cooking the rom is because well it's difficult for one to develop that kind of tutorial, let alone his/her experience and best practices in various areas.
Ok so how to solve it? I suggest that all great cooking people out there, share to build that tutorial led by the moderator.
For example, one person could be in charge of explaining how to add CAB, another person in doing sys, another in porting, another in compiling, etc..
Clearly there will be multiple sections in that thread and it would be owesome and well organized. Even better, some topics can be jointly developed by more then one person sharing the experience and the best tricks and tips between them.
Somebody has to start this initiative, at least in defining the blocks, who is going to take the first shot and entice others to cooperate?
Samer.
sounds like a good idea i'd definitely like to know!!! im always looking for ways to build up my skills.
There's plenty of tutorials floating around... But if you want one done JUST for the TP2, I can help with that...
Im down...if not make my own, maybe help someone else. I personally think there are too many to choose from, and there needs to be a streamlined process to ensure that the ones that work, continue to get the support to make them better.
As NRG said, there are already a lot of threads and tutorials. Making a ROM is not just a Rhodium thing, it is very generic to start. Then making it Rhodium compliant might take some extra work. In any case, I am also looking to start my own kitchen so any efforts in this direction are apprciated.
I would greatly appreciate this. I am currently trying to cook my own ROM. I got the Visual Kitchen, dumped the HTC WWE 6.5 ROM and downloaded the 23518 rollup from Da_G.
I used Dump Sorter to sort the rollup and put it in the SYS folder. I moved the MSXIPKernel into ROM\Shared\23518. I selected 23518 for XIP and SYS build and left ETX at 21854. The ROM won't build. I try to make it but the file in RHODIUM_Release is only 8MB.
In the build log it says
"Executing: platformrebuilder.exe.....
platformrebuilder.exe Executed successfull!!!"
Platformrebuilder does not do anything where as if I left everything at 21854 there is a LOT of stuff that platformrebuilder.exe does.
Also in ROM\Shared\21854 there is a file xip.bin that I don't have in 23518.
Help cooking sense2.5
My problem is when trying to cook Leo sense2.5(EXT package). ( I could produce sense2.1 without any problem) . BUT ran into issues like: (see photo) or if the ROM is complete. I can't get past the installation screen, just hung there and not giving me the Today Screen. So any help would be greatly appreciative.
ps.. I did check Real WM 6.5, but ROM still won't boot.

Well first of all, it's an honor to see a great person like yourself answering my post, so my warm regards for your kindness.
Yes, I am interested obviously in TP2, although from the moment I got my hands on it, I never tried anything but EnergyRom (do you know who does them?) but it's just that I wish I can combine the latest official WM6.5 with arabic keyboard and Sense 2.5 and perhaps some cool stuff.
Indeed there are plenty of tutorials out there but maybe they are not clear enough to me, or maybe I didnt' search very well or maybe I dont know how and where to start. so yes ur input are highly welcome just like your presence.

I'd love to see one! Not that I'm not grateful to the cooks for their ROMs, I'd like to know how it's done and maybe add a few programs of my own to a ROM.
Oh, and I think it'd be best to start right at the beginning so that everyone is at the same level eventually.
Thanks!
I started cockin roms a couple years ago and said the exact same thing how the information is scattered.. i'm in, just let me know what you need and i'll help with what i can.
I also see some tutorials in many sub-forums, but having to look at 4 different pages just to do one step in cooking a ROM is a little troublesome and confusing. So here's what I think should happen:
I think there should be a sticky thread that has clear steps (a guide) on how to cook ROMs.
Then there should also be a sticky thread that has all kitchens from chefs that want to release them. (Similar to the Radio Collection Thread.)
That would help a lot of people! I want to cook ROMs when I have the time (over summer) and if (hopefully when) this happens, it would be easier for many people like me to cook ROMs.
BesFen made a solid tutorial for using Visual kitchen in the Opal forum, and I helped with that one. I think this is an excellent idea and I'd love to help with it in whatever capacity I can.

edit: Just read the poll results. Whoever said no is obviously not XDA material.
i dont mind helping with this
Thanks for starting this thread.. Been using excellent ROMs from NRGZ & b16b, but want to do my own thing for my Rhodium. Hopefully, this will get me to appreciate the efforts of these 2 fine cooks and use the facilities provided by XDA better..
I've been trying to wrap my head around the info provided by Da_G in this super thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445
It is taking a while for a newbie like me..
When I had my XV6800(AKA Titan) after a while of modding I started cooking my own roms. I usually removed the garbage I would never use to shrink the Rom size. I then left for a BB in Nov. 2008. Well my senses have come around and I will be back to WinMo with a TP2 on Wed. So I would like to see a kitchen to cooking rom Tutorial assuming it is different. I know that of course CDMA vs GSM will be with because of the carrier CAB. This go around I am leaving VZW to T-Mobile.
So, what's happened with this and this thread? Has it all turned out to be a p**s take?
I would love to see a cohesive tutorial on how to cook a ROM.
I've poked around in the kitchen threads but have gotten kind of lost and overwhelmed. It seems like information is so scattered around.
I've been looking for a project to do for awhile and have thought that ROM cooking might be kinda fun. Initially, I'd just like to make something with the features I want but who knows where it might go. I think I've tried every TP2 ROM on XDA-Developers now and, while I've found some excellent ones, nothing that quite screams "this is EXACTLY what I want".
So...yeah...a good "how-to" would be excellent and I'd be forever grateful.
FWIW, I'd be happy to do some trade-work in exchange for this. I've got a pretty decent technical skill set...just not one involving ROM cooking.
Same here.. I'm stuck on getting a build to use.. Looking for a good NAM build : Tilt2 stock or something for Tilt2 will be a good start..
My first attempt is with the Eruvius Visual kitchen. I think I got all the required files. There were multiple download links in the original thread. I'm guessing that I get the older version and replace the latest kitchen .exe on top.
I'd love to try to cook my own ROM. I agree that the information seems sparse and kinda scattered. My cursory browsing very much gives the vibe that information for Touch Pro 2 ROM Development has an unspoken understanding that you've made ROMs before. Not me.
I'd love a simple step-by-step tutorial (for rhodium), cause I'd like to build a simple ROM based on the latest 5.5.3/5, without manila...
In post number 6469 a Senior Member (Raptordin) has suggested that Manila 2.5 can be cooked with 6.1.
I don't like nagging cooks for specific features in ROMs because they do such a great job at perfecting the ones they have started...
BUT, I though I would throw this out to the wider community and ask if anyone is contemplating developing a 6.1 ROM which utilizes Sense 2.5. If you think about it it makes perfect "sense" (pardon the pun) since, I assuming, you a using the operating system the device has been optimized for.
Any thoughts? Or are we just dreaming !!!
Cheers

I also vote for this combination. What are the problems of using it?/6.1+2.5/
thanks
yeah that would be awesome!

I did not do this myself but maybe you can get a pre prepared kitchen from another device and remodulate it for Blackstone.
You can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595380
and you can also use the sources in this kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580350as it has both 2.1 and 2.5 for Blackstone.
And ofcourse you can read all what could help you in this kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515824 as sparkienl is one of the biggest chefs for Blackstone and he is very helpful when you ask meaningfull questions he is always ready to reply with suitable answer.

err, can it possibly be that you are in the wrong subforum? just checking your sig I mean...
well, I'm no chef so I can only be vague about it, but you need a kitchen for the device, add basic Wm version, apps and progs and also manila version (and probably something more as well) and cook it
adding it on a cooked rom is somewhat more complicated (if possible at all); i seem to remember a thread offering add-on like manila as a cab, but I'm not exactly sure about it
there is a lot of qualified folks here who are better able to answer that, so i will move the thread to general for continued input, but would also advice an visiting Chef Central (dev/chef support there) and do some reading/searching there
best
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general/q&a

It's impossible to install Manila with CABS! Have been discussed more times on the forum..... you can ONLY add manila and its components by cooking all its files and dependencies on a new rom!
exactly, there is a cab here on xda with manila/sense2.5 but i wont recommend it due to the fact that many dependencies were left out, meaning only some stuff works... and those manila/sense cabs takes over 20 mins to install... you can task29, flash a rom and setup in that same 20 minutes
thx both
@spike at least now I know I'm not completely daft
