Hi!
I might get some abuse for this request, but maybe somebody is willing to to do it and I believe that lots of people would probably be looking for something like this.
I am looking for a custom rom, and yes...I am willing to pay for the work done, so if anyone is interested, please contact me via PM.
What I am looking for:
Normal windows 6.1 Base
Manila Interface
Only basic programs preinstalled..things that are really needed such as Opera, PCPimpbackup etc.
So far so good...now comes the tricky part:
I would love the manila to have the same skin as Itjes used in his 5.0x roms, with the sounds, and skins, and background etc. Ergo: black on black, no green.
Rom would have to be stable, bluetooth etc would have to continue working. Noticed some that I didn't like in itjes rom, such as the fact as when I was listening to internet radio, and the screen turned off to save power, the connection to the internet radio was lost.
And last but not least: the rom would have to be complete in german.
As I said, I just don't have the knowledge to cook a rom the way that I would like to have it. (Yeah yeah, call me too lazy to learn)
So..lets see if anyone is interested in the job
i dont know the rom you want,
but as basic you can use asap the ruu_signed.nbh in baserom-folder from this link http://rapidshare.com/files/226943697/Xperia_Kitchen.7z.html
its german its speedy its growable
can you mail/message ?

Hi all,
I'd really appreciate your advice on whether it is possible to find/make a cab (or just copy some files) of the dialer that the Topaz or the Rhodium have to make it work on official 1.56 WWE ROM (I don't care about the conference call button, I care about the buttons in the call log (to avoid the default Blackstone sliding left/right in order to list all available phone numbers of a contact)).
Thanks a whole lot in advance.
PS: I do want to stay on the official WWE 1.56.
PPS: If anyone can make a cab, I'd consider a donation.
searching for the same to compliment onoklog 6.5 rom. found a few which dont work, will let you know
I have done quite a lot of experimenting and I'm quite sure that the new dialers require newer OS builds (21xxx). So making them work on stock ROMs is just not possible. Or, to be precise, they will work but some features like the call log buttons will be missing. The attempts to port the dialer to VGA confirm my finding.
Thanks for disappointing me
I will have to find a suitable custom ROM then... Oh, I hate flashing and re-installing stuff...
I want to cook my own Rom, but at the moment all I want to do is installing the new manila.
So my question is, where can I find the newest Topaz (and maybe Rhodium) OEM's? I'm lookin for them since a while but I don't know what to do. I looked even on xda-dev.
And as soon as I found them, do add them, do I have to change the name from Rhodium_blablabla to BlackStone_blabla?
Thanks people
Hi all,
I remember one ROM at least had this as a feature (one of the Touch-IT Xperience ROMs?) - that when you navigate in the Start Menu, it would actually remember the position you were in. So you go in to set up all your Settings and Apps, in the original version after you select a program/setting and when you close it you are taken back to the first menu in the Start Menu and have to navigate back to the section/folder/directory/whatever you had gotten to. This can be very tedious.
I'm not sure how to describe it exactly - but I've been using Windows Mobile since '05 and I really like how it used to remember, and it saved me time and clicks. I know that at least one ROM had a fix for this, and I know a couple of other WM6.5 ROMs I've tried since did not. Does anyone know which ROMs have this fix, and/or if there is some way to set WM6.5 to do this action from a change made by the end user.
I've tried searching but I haven't been able to find anything, possibly because I'm not sure exactly how to articulate the idea. I generally like 6.1 and how it works, but I've tried a bunch of those ROMs and all have problems and I'm ready to make the leap to 6.5 and try some of the various ROMs available for it - but this is one of the things I just couldn't figure out a fix for.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Peter
i know what u are speaking of but those are on very old builds dude, try a build with 218xx which is more recent, i remembered my first rom was like that, now im on my 17th i think
There needs to be a dummies guide to this. I can't make sense of it all. I find literally hundreds of ROMs and then find dozens of builds for each one. I can't take it anymore! All I want is something that removes the bloatware, runs faster than the stock Tilt 2 ROM, doesn't lose any capabilities such as keyboards, etc, lets SPB MS 3.5 run faster, and lets me tether.
Why don't the chef's at least provide a simple list of their ROMs and what they do, what works better and what doesn't work with that particular ROM? I've been digging through this site for two weeks now and I'm not even any closer to knowing what to flash now than when I started. I know from other searches that the Mods tend to close requests like this, but I'm really stumped and I really have tried. I'm not an idiot by any means. I do understand that these are being provided for free and that I should be appreciative....and I am. But it seems to me that even the devs themselves would benefit from this so they wouldn't duplicate each others work and would be able to better track what they are doing.
Anyways, any suggestions for the ROM to do what I want?

What you do is flash one and see if you like it. If not, it is quite simple to flash another.
Try the Titanium 2 Jun NRG ROM and see what you think. It has no Sense version at all, which increases the storage memory size.

EDIT: I am assuming that you have read the "Flashing for NOOB" and the "Hard SPL" threads, you need both to be able to flash a custom ROM.
I have pretty much tried all of the ROMs but I reallly like only 2 ROMs. The best one for me is Cell Evo V7 (23541) (the link to thread. I have just flashed Josh's ROM. n i havent had any problem yet. I use the Sense 2.1. (its in my sig) I think 2.5 is still very buggy. so that maybe somethin u may wanna try out. I think the evo one is the most stable! but this is all just my own opinion. u may or may not like them!
Thanks for the tips. I have read the pages you mentioned and I understand that flashing in itself is a simple process. But for me, it's not just the flashing. I have to flash, install SPB MS and all of my apps, setup my weather, my exchange server and sync my contacts, configure active-sync, apply all my tweaks and then the phone is ready to use. Then if I don't like a ROM because it is slow or buggy, I'll have to do it all again......
At least that's how I picture it. Now if you are telling me that I don't have to go through all that each time, then I'll be a happy camper, but I suspect I am right on this.
What is a "sense" version that you are referring to?
Also, if you could explain the difference between a light, full and normal build that would be nice.
And what the deal is with finding matching "radios" whatever that is about.
And what is a "manila"?
And the problem with keyboards???? Do most ROMS have trouble using the keyboard? What other issues might I encounter while trying to use the normal functions of the device?
There's a lot of jargon here and I just don't see a single place that explains it all.

Manilla = Sense. "Sense" is the name that HTC uses for their UI. There are two major versions, 2.1 and 2.5 (newest). There is also an older UI called TF3D (TouchFlo 3D).
Matching radios refers to flashing your radio with different firmware. The device has ROM versions, which is what everyone is referring to, and the Radio has a different version. Some people prefer a certain radio, some ROMs recommend a certain radio. I'm using NRG, and have never updated my radio version.
Keyboards. Most ROMS will not automatically map your keyboard (AT&T and T-Mobile have different mappings - the exception is a ROM built for a specific carrier). The reason is simple - the Chef doesn't know what carrier you are using! On the NRG ROMs, there is a tool included to "provision" your device for your carrier; this fixes the keyboard. Or you can do a search and find the right keyboard .cab file for your device.
- Light, medium, and full. I personally don't use these terms, but my definition would be as follows. Light is a ROM that has very little added functionality other than what Microsoft provided with the operating system. Full is a ROM (like NRG) that has lots of custom stuff baked into the ROM - extra utilities and etc., which are useful to you (in the Chef's opinion). A medium would be somewhere in between.
I would include the stock ROM as a "Full" ROM, except that in their case a lot of their software is "bloatware", which means stuff they added because they could, or they had some kind of deal with a particular company, etc. It is called "bloatware" because it seems to serve only the purpose of making the ROM harder to use and cluttering up the menu system with lots of useless stuff - bloated.
Are you a happier camper?
two of your best bets are gonna be the
e2 rom and the nrg version of your choise
e2 rom is almost exatly like the att stock but a lot sexier

Umm, speaking personally, I'm not sure I want a "sexy" TP2!
Ah. That explains a lot. Thanks for the info. Maybe one day when I'm no longer a dummy I'll write a dummies guide. Until then, thanks for the tips.
Hi,
I had the same problem as you, I just wanted a stock rom without all the extra stuff that htc provides, I wanted to be simple, fast and stable, after flashing a lot of ROM I decided to take the problem in my own hands so I started learning how to cook my own ROM, you have a very good guide about how to do that here.
After reading and understanding this guide you can create your own ROMs just the way you like it.
Maybe just like me you will not succeed for the first time, but in the end you will have a ROM cooked by you and will suite all your needs.
Good luck!
