I think this deserves its own topic. Original post from Tuatara:
Hi everyone ...
Sorry, I've run out of time for providing you with an updated ROM which I wanted to have feature complete. I'm off on vacation tomorrow for 2 weeks, and can't keep working on it until I'm back.
I've been playing around with many things (adding/removing files, fixing the Midlet Manager, updating Camera, etc.) but I haven't got the ROM to the point where I feel it's 100% ready for others - but having said that, I've uploaded it to XDA Dev, and you're welcome to give it a try and see if it improves things for you.
This is MAINLY an update from Mamaich's v2a ROM, which does contain the Quantum Timing Patch, and the Performance Tweaks.
I've also made a few filesystem changes - predominantly removing the Midlet Manager (which wasn't working), applied all of the Performance Tweaks as per the thread (and a few more), changed the default startup elements to suit my tastes (at the moment), and added some useful programs and details to the ROM. (psShutXP, Running Programs, Shortcuts to missing elements, etc.)
The ROM is in /Uploads/Blue Angel/wm5_test/Tuatara_v2a_Custom.zip
Inside the ZIP file is the nk.nba file, along with the updated registry files (boot.rgu, default.rgu, and user.rgu) which have been merged in. I've unfortunately forgotten to include initflashfiles.dat in the ZIP, but that file is directly available from inside the ROM anyways.
The ZIP also contains a different EXTROM - only the missing files, camera, and midlet manager are needed now, and there is no warning about publisher on installation anymore. You can obviously customize the EXTROM cfg.txt file to your liking, and install anything and everything all at once.
Additionally the ROM itself still has some additional space for applications, so if you want to cook your own, there is some space available to add more.
Sorry I won't be able to answer any questions about this ROM, or handle issues on it for two weeks, so it's up to you if you want to try it (or just decompose it and look at the changes).
Enjoy, and I hope everything goes well.
Regards,
Robert.

Personal thoughts: I think this ROM gives some performance boost indeed, not much, but it is noticable. Nearly every bug is fixed now, only the bluetooth disconnect issue is left. My BA is fianlly shows itself disconnected when i take it off the cradle (with the previous ROMs, it often showed that it is still connected).
Enabling SmartDialing
Hi, I've tried this ROM & this definitely faster! Thanks!
But I can't seem to enable SmartDialilng by removing the "_" from the mfc80u.dll_ and msvcr80.dll_ files for SmartDial will start to work? These 2 files are missing from this ROM but even after I've copied these 2 files into the \Windows folder, SmartDialing still doesn't work. Any ideas?

I should take a look at one of the early versions of "New menu for WM5" (anything below 1.0.0 beta). Does anyone still have the CABs?

I downloaded the new Rom and having a little trouble trying to download to my SX66. I have upgraded and downgraded the WM5 on my SX66 several times. I was wondering since the rom file is nba instead of nbf does that make a huge difference. I admit have have not messed around with my device data cause I find that a little complicated. I usaully use the MA_Upgrade cause I don't have to tweak too much. Any suggestions?

In this case, you should use the harder way. Read step 4 of the upgrading process (see wiki) to upgrade via BaUpgradeUt.exe.

The nk.nba file needs to be converted back to nk.nbf regardless of whether you use MA_Upgrade or BA_Upgrade. I use MA_Upgrade. There is an modelid entry of the USER.rgu that should be changed to PH20B1. I'm not sure whether these *.rgu files need to be copied to the \windows dir or added back into the nk.nba file. Any thoughts KTamas, i'm thinking the later.

You don't have to do anything with RGU files at all. You need to use xda3nbftool (with editfix.bat if you want) to patch the ROM.

The only help i can provide is on the last issue. Get a file manager like TotalCommander and copy the file localy (in the device). Then you can use ActiveSync to copy the file to your PC as the new copy won't be a system file any longer
WMPInfo.xml is probably Windows Media DRM information to compliment WMP10.
thx for replies - got new problem now:
i 'm flashing my device from last few days to see which WM6 will work best- i always use pim.vol file 2 restore my contacts (jsut copy it on root); while doing it 4th time, i came to strange issue; my contacts are not showing up ; i press contact buttons and it flash for a sec and then gone; although all of call history is showing up, but i cant see my contacts directory
ne idea y this might b happening?? i dont wana flash one more time just for this issue.
do i need pimvol.vol file along with pim.vol?? (although i always used jsut pim.vol and it showed me alll of my contacts)
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like the database got corrupted, that happened to my appointments and when one notified me it sent me over 900 alerts before stopping and wouldn't get out of endless notify-repeat-crash-notify cycle.

hehe, it's not a corrupt file but a difference in format. When moving from an AKU version to a higher you risk that. It's like wanting to use a word document from Office 97 in Office 2003 (without backwards compatibility)
It happened to me once when i moved from AKU 1.x to AKU 2

THANKS FRED_ I was about to post it that it's been resolved using your backup tool atlast (although it wasnt working in the beginning for some reason); although it was not that automated (means that contacts/log/appointments get backed up in separate file but hey!!!!! it works; and worked lke charm..even retained pics associated with contacts)
so thank you once again...for everyone replies and help;
~officially running crossbow now w/o ne error..or so they say ~
Yeah, thanks for the tip FRED . Now i know i can move on safely to AKU 3 whenever i need it
Does anyone know if the Orange M700 Today plugin is available as a CAB anywhere or something similar? After upgrding to WM6 my other half is fit to kill me as she really liked it. I tried tempting her with SPB Shell but got one of those icy stares
Maybe you should have a look in the extended ROM, the installation might be here...

Thanks SS, it's a good idea but unfortunately the ExtROM doesn't contain much of interest.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1213228&postcount=11
The UK M700 ext rom is pretty useless actually. it only contains 4 cabs
MP_MMS3.5_OrangeUK_Trinity_060811.CAB - setup MMS settings ONLY (doesnt include gprs and wap stuff)
MP_CVSDcpl_20060920.cab - adds the Voice Speed Dial control panel (standard in HTCs rom)
PP_Fix_ShowTodayTheme.cab - Changes the background
PT_WA_Abaxia.CAB - Turns on the Orange Plugin
Everything else is including in the rom itself, the orange sounds, today plugin, colour scheme, icons, programs etc so installing the ext rom wont get these back.

I know someone is trying to dump the Orange ROM but haven't seen one posted yet. Perhaps I should be thinking of an alternative? Any ideas?
You might care to try this,it's from the Hermes but works quite well on the Trinity.
I just extract it from my device, but might be localized in French...
This cab seems to be better than just my files and registry export
Many thanks. It installs fine and does the job. Not as good looking as the M700 version but beggars cant be choosers
I've got the files somewhere! They reside in the Application Data folder and are part of the main ROM installation, not extended ROM.
I'll try and find where I put them and repost
Here an archive with registry information and the files.
All the files goes to \Application Data\DIL_APP
Note : as I said earlier this is from a FRE ROM...
As promised, here is an English version.
The DIL_APP folder must go under Application Data, so copy it there first, then copy the orange.reg file to the device, and tap on it in File Explorer to install it.
The Orange.tsk file goes in My Device/Windows and is the main Today Theme file selectable from Settings/Today.
The orange.bmp file can only be installed as part of a ROM manipulation, but is here for completeness!
Superb! Thanks again.
I have the feeling that this today screen slow down the device... just a feeling tho ...

hi buddy's!
Does anybody know how to copy the \Windows\AltKeys.dll? I've tried with Resco Explorer and with Total Commander, but neither did work. I would like to backup the AltKeys.dll and the AltKeys_deDE.dll from a german ROM and restore them to the english WM6 rom.
Thanks in advance for any tip,

That method might work, but the partition layout is certainly different so you would want to pay particular attention to the output of pdocread -l etc.

I'm not positive - but I *think* total commander can copy ROM files - you might give that a try. It is a free file manager that runs on the device.

No, not yet. But the alt-keys are not that important anyway. It's just the german letters "ö,ä & ü" which are more prioritized in the german rom's altkeys.

I don't know but is any chance dump your rom or panel instalation files from /windows directory
i have no idea how to do that.
Use this tool to dump it, http://www.4shared.com/file/126523116/2b69156a/Dump_My_Phone.html, it seems that some SE customizations are made by cab, can you post them also?
Then if you can post the raw files.

ok ill try to do it tomorrow because ive been very busy lately.

do i just look for the cab and copy and paste?

The cabs are located in the windows directory on your phone. If you are connected via active sync, just browse to your phone's windows directory, sort everything by file type, and copy all the cabs to your computer.

This isn't possible yet, since we don't have a wwe ROM, however, you can still get some english functionality out of your device. If you haven't already done so, goto Start>>Setings>>System>>Regional Settings and select "English United States" from the drop down list.
This won't fix the majority of the UI, but it'll put the calender stuff mostly in English, and many apps will also now be in English (e.g. Google Maps, Skype, etc.)

A easy thing is to copy the whole windows directory, put it on your computer then make a rarfile of it and upload
Then we can take out the files and upload them recustomized

Try it with multiple computers,maybe the computer doesn't recognize the phone :/
during the dumping.
i got the addresses and put them in the dump my phone.bat by editing the file.
this is the result:

| 128.00M (0x8000000) Part02
| 238.63M (0xeea0000) Part03
so when i add the numbers that are in the parenthesis and then click on dump my phone.bat i get the "device not ready" error.
do i have to do anything on the phone before? i already installed the enablerapi but do i have to activate it seperately or do i maybe have to cancel activesync? is that blocking it.
come on guys help him, it`s so nice that he do this for all of us!!
hope u get fix it dude!!

You possibly don't have the proper permissions set. Try installing the sdkcerts.cab, if you haven't already. Did the regional settings tip help at all? Also any luck with copying the windows directory?
i installed skcerts and its still not working.
copying the files from windows isnt working either.
