Just a little light - Rom choices

I'm sure this was posted many times before - I'm ready to wipe my wing.. i know i know, RTFM - I'm an engineer ... I'm looking for a shortcut to the most appropriate ROM for my wing needs.. Please advise, many friggen posts to choose from... Need standard apps, exchange email a must - also need office apps.. any suggestions ? So sick of running outta mem!!!! any suggestions are appreciated.... can I keep outlook with any custom Roms?
"so give me, just a little light" band/song????...
-Oldie

my guess is: any rom will do, just pick one of the newer fully loaded ones, they come packed with office standard (or better) apps and with all roms exchange mail should work. i believe the latest is open touch 6.5 biggy (i use aserg 12, but it is for herald, so you'd need a keyboard fix)

Yes to all your questions. Roms support full functionality of the phone.
I reccommend either ASERG Rom or ITJE Roms.

That bring another question, what is ITJE's newest (most updated) rom? I found a thread that has all his old rom and it said not support anymore.

just use the one with the highest build number; they are generally the newest.
in this case, this is the one (i think)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407646

ITJE bought himself a Kaiser .. so he's been a little busy in that forum .. as well as having a "real life" ...
Aserg disappeared too ... but his v12 rom is fast, stable and bull**** free... and I've been using it for over a very long time now.

I know. Had been using his rom for awhile. No doubt one of the best, but I always want to try the newest and most updated roms Is there a way we can kind of recook Aserg's rom, just do the updates maybe?

itje has a polaris, too.
ttran has a...... 8525?

If you your unsure about flashing a new rom I found when I first got my wing that changing the page pool size and getting battery status helped a lot. Its very easy to do and you still have the standard Tmo rom. If you want to flash a rom I would go with ttran's OT 5 original. Its basically the stock rom but made a lot better. Hope this helps.

Got a New Diamond. Where to start ?

So I just got my new Diamond (Hong Kong traditional chinese version), version below:
ROM: 1.37.832.4 CHT
Date: 06/23/08
Radio: 1.00.25.03
Protocol: 52.26a.25.09H
I wanted to get the most out of the little phone. What tweaks and fixes I need to do to get to everyone elses "standard" ? Such as updating, changing the language to english, some kind of ways to backup my old ROM, speed fix on the menus and navigation, tweaks on longer battery life Also tell me if there is more needed.
Can anyone tell me where to get those stuff (Or if those things exists) ? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you very much !

update to WWE rom and flash the radio, use the roll up stickies as tutorials at the top of the pages, read, search and you will find.
no one here will want to find it for you. open your eyes and take a look around. its all here.

Hey, I am new to this and I don't have the slight understanding of how these things work. That is why I'm asking for help. I wouldn't want to install the wrong things and kill my diamond (It happened before with my PSP =/).
But thank you for answering. Is updating the rom and radio all I need ?

Ouch, harssshhh.
To the original postah... Search for "Diamond Tweaks", should be a sticky in this forum. Those should help a lot for the performance of your Diamond. You CAN flash a new ROM and radio (make sure to Hard SPL first, search on how to do that!) but it's not necessary and taking a risk... Not a very big one, but devices have been turned to paperweights from flashing messups many times. To keep it basic use those Diamond Tweaks, start your device off right with Schaps Advanced Configuration tool (www.touchxperience.com) and TF3D Config, maybe Diamond Tweak (a program called that, searchsearchsearch) as well. To get a registry editor you can also go to touchxperience.com, you'll need that for most of the tweaks. Now go, go, go!

Thanks for the answers.
I have decided to flash the Rom cause I wanted to get the best out of the phone.
I come across this guide on flashing: http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26
And this for list of Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413910
The problem I have now is that I don't know which Rom is the best to flash into. And whats the difference between Offical and Cooker rom (Which is better)?
Again, thanks for answering. I appreciate it.

each person have different prefrenses and use their pda's for different things
which is why there are more then one rom called superrom which everybody use
so it is kinda hard to answer the question which one is best for you
trying various is most likely the best path

Yeah there is alot of them. =/
I'll try them out.
But can you tell me if the cooker ones are better than the offical ones ?
And is this the official English Rom: RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2 ?
Thx !

...better? They are newer; look: Just like in Windows XP Microsoft also generates new builds of windows mobile. Also HTC does this with his own applications. The cookers always takes the newest builtds and gave us the great roms!
ok?

Just look at it like this, cooked roms are customized by people on here that want better performance, the official roms are what HTC puts out to try and make it work for everyone. If you find a cooked rom that works for your needs, it's likely to be better because it doesn't include all of the stuff that doesn't interest you. Better yet, you could cook your own rom if you really want to, look for a tutorial on it. Not incredibly difficult, just takes some time to learn. (This is my perception of it, I've never cooked a rom myself but it doesn't seem so impossible)

Thank you guys, I chose the SwiftBL for the Rom since it have just what I need and much more.
But I have another question about the Radio Rom. I have the Radio version 1.00.25.03 and I wanted to ask do I need to update/change it ? If it's not necessary, can I skip this step and just update my Rom and not the Radio ?
Thx !

if you don't want to brick your diamond

read!?! nobody told me i was suppose to read before trying to flash my phone for the first time?!! jk
yeah, just look around at the different tutorial on here, and it should help you to better understand it. I just got my diamond last week, and i can't believe how much i can change on this phone compared to my old S60 v3 phone...

I wouldn't change the radio unless you have issues with reception... But that's me, I'm very conservative compared to most on here when it comes to flashing/changing major aspects of the phone.

I have completed the flashing the Rom and Radio on my Diamond and thank god it didn't brick.
Everything is done now so thank you guys very much for everything.

Help creating a WM 6.5 ROM

Hi All,
I'm trying to cook my first ROM and would like it to be on WM 6.5
I tried the Blackstone kitchen posted here but unfortunately all the WM6.5 ROMs are not extractable - I tried ALL of them.
Would any of the ROM cookers be kind enough to make his ROM extractable by the kitchen or perhaps point me to a tutorial explaining how to create a WM6.5 ROM for the Touch HD (i.e. import from a ROM cooked for another device).
I did search the forum before asking but couldn't find anything.
Your help is much appreciated and thanks for your help in advance.

I guess starting with a WM6.5 rom isn't that clever, as you must know a lot of xip porting. I haven't tried it myself, but as far as I know there were also some issues with the drivers.
Have you already tried davideuck's version? "Rom-source" sounds good, doesn't it?

I've always wondered what the [ROM-SOURCE] means but now I noticed that davideuck has included the SYS and XIP. Although I still have no idea what these are, it's food for thought and I'll do some digging to get more information.
In the meantime, if anyone can help with any information, it will be much appreciated.
I appreciate your reply john, thanks very much.

ivanmmj said:
Q: What is the XIP?
A: It's the kernel of the ROM.
Q: What is the SYS folder?
A: It's where all the new apps included in each Windows Mobile release are stored. PM me asking me where to find them.

My problem, as I said in the first post, is that all the WM6.5 ROMs are not extractable - I tried ALL of them.
I am now playing with ROM/Kitchen posted in this thread - exactly what I need.
I have already cooked a ROM using the thread above and will be adding my apps and registry tweaks possibly this weekend when I have some spare time.
Thanks for your help John.

[REQUEST] I ask all cookers to share lite/Xtralite Version WM6.1&WM6.5

Please Please Please,
After the Onkolog's departure, I don't find light or xtralight rom on xda. I think that some people are interested in this study. I ask the cookers to share light version of your ROM (WM6.1 or WM6.5) (without the program) and customizable.
Thank you all for your excellent work.

I have changed the title of your thread as its misleading to tothers. You only put [ROM][Light] if you are providing a lite rom. Your thread is a request, so should only state [REQUEST]
Rick

I look forward to this as well

I think I might be able to help in this case.
Would it be a totally naked version of WM or with some apps included? Im thinking about doing one without any application, just windows..

I would want JUST windows releases as well... For creating a manilla like total replacement program.

That was the point of Onkolog's roms. He had manilla as a extra package

Ok can do a windows-only release.

Also, take a look here in the wiki for list of most/all roms (still being developed through this thread). It lists a lot of lite roms which may be useful

u heard of vanilla??? from kwbr only barebone bits included someone described it as DAMN SMALL WINDOWS in comparison to damn small linux lol.
have a look on the link

heres kwbrs roms on celogeek not sure which one it is there though.
http://blog.celogeek.com/mobile/cooked-rom/mirror-for-all-kwbrs-roms/
try it out, why are you interested in the light roms?

@polarrys Nice thread. For WM6.1 you can use Onkologs 21xxx versions. They were the last builds. But more interesting are WM6.5 builds over 23016 with native WM6.5 core. Hope also there'll be some alternatives to Onkologs Lite Roms. Less is sometimes more.

Bump!
I'd certainly be interested!
The versatility of a Lite/Super Lite ROMs I feel makes it appealing to a wider target audience for the simple reason of personal customization.
I can freely admit that I’m still using Onkolog’s WWE WM6.1 21051 1.6.4 Lite ROM which was posted all the way back in June. Very stable, very clean, very fast.

I would also like a "Windows only" ROM. Since most apps are available as cabs it would be possible to have ONLY the apps you need installed.
Any Clean Windows Chefs out there ?

Check my post earlier on...

This is a great idea but is it possible to install the latest version of Manila as a .cab onto an ultralite ROM?
Edit: I checked other parts of the forum and now realise this is not possible, as Manila is too deeply integrated with Windows to make it a standalone installer.

Not exactly what I (we?) am looking for... This is not "no APPS included at all". Maybe from a ROM-cook point of view as in nothing has been added. But from my point of view.. This contains:
Office
Internet Sharing,
Games
MSN Money
Windows Live
etc.
Personally I'm looking for a rom, with only the bear necessities (of life? ) (which means: Windows, File Explorer, stuff like that)
But thanks for giving us a light ROM though
Cheers,
Lennard

Ok give me a list of what you want removed and I will cook it for you.

Problem is, there are not many German ROM´s out there. If you do not insist on the "experimental" WinMo builds, but can accept the start menu at the top, then I would say Touch IT Multilanguage v2 is the best - but then again, not that much software on board.
Or, if you accept to have just Manila in German, but WinMo and other s/w in English, you can easily change the language of Manila to German - this way, the main interface will be in German, the rest not.
