I'm currently using c shekars 7c ROM. I was wondering how he does the external ROM automatic installation (which is copied to the storage card)when you first start up the xda2. Can someone create a bare WM6 with an external ROM like shekars so basically it's pretty much a kitchen? being not too savvy when it comes to programming, this is really the only way for us noobies to be able to sort of cook our own ROMS. Perhaps providing the wonderful cab files as well on 1 thread like Vdialler which is a great app, a selection of htc home with 3,4,5,6 tabs as the actual configuration cab file doesn't seem to work, a multiple comm manager with 6,8, and 10 buttons and other hard to find essential apps. I'm currently trying to build a black vista looking theme. I'll attached a copy of my theme for you guys to have a look at. so... i''m calling on the help of the seniors, especially shekar, ather90 and utak3r. please please please.
Hey man..thank a lot for the comment...Just tell me the files u want and i will build an EXT for it..even if there are REG hacks or changes like timezone , etc...
I'm with christian... a blank rom to go with the ext rom would be awesome... I love the roms you seniors have made... and have had the most fun time noobing my way thru.... thanks to all the xda team but especially shekar, ather90 and utak3r for many hours of frustration and enjoyment
there is ROM kitchen with WM6. Utak3r have newer, but unfinished version. I would try to finish and publish it
fisrst of all Welcome to Xda-dev's Gelf.....Hope u enjoy ur stay around her..
Well then i will start uploading a Clean ROM with Not TOO many apps ( file explorer and common apps cant be removed)...i have a clean rom for AKU 1.0.0 and 0.7.0
@christian....I like ur theme but the wallpaper is not regarding "VISTA"..
i am posting mine
quick reply
how about a clean rom with non essentials taken out. or maybe one with a preconfigured touchflo and cube as that requires quite a few things( which means adobe flash lite is installed). tcpmp player with all the plugins instead of mediaplayer. resco explorer rather than the dull file explorer. fast cleanup or stktools for maintenance. mms and patch and bt app for connectivity. and of course the network wizard for gprs/3g. maybe that seems like a great starting point.anything else could be added on the external rom.
again my thanks and reards to all senior members for putting up with us noobies especially ather who seems to be everywhere answering everyone's questions and requests.

Quote!!! It would be fantastic to have a clean ROM to experiment... i don't want be a n00b forever, and i'm tired to abuse of time and efforts of our senior members: i hope to contribute soon to the Community!
What you get: The stock ROM with some crap removed -> more free storage and a little bit faster system. Nothing more, nothing less!
What is removed:
- All CABs, provided seperately
- HTC Taskmanager (I like SPB PocketPlus better)
- Demo movies, sounds etc.
- Transcriber
- Skins
- Sony Ericsson Start Page
- Some more things I don't remember

//edit: Version 1.1
Just a quick update.. new Version based on the R2.. SE ROM.
Removed: All CABs, Demo Movies, Sounds, Pictures, SE Startpage.
RADIO is NOT INCLUDED. So if you didn't already flash the newest SE Firmware, do so first!
I don't have much time at the moment so that's all for now. But it works

yes i am also interessted maybe something like jake did with an uk rom Jack's V1.0"1" WWE please someone start todo it, i am dont know that things , maybe i should try it out hahaha
regards cHarOn
Congrats. No wonder why the wording look so familiar.
Actually, the error msg could have a easy workaround by making a faked panel executable w/ something like QuickMenu. But since the lite image is just my stepping stone for full image and I will have the panel installed anyway (by UC automatic install instead of wasting rom space), I will just leave it as if.
jake can you describe how to exchange nf to nf 3.5 maybe you can help him, i really like your work jack

Can I just take the ...nf35 folder or what it's called from your rom jackleung and remove the one without 35? or is that language dependent? Just a quick yes/no would be great
I played a bit around with the phone and my impression is that jackleungs rom is quite a bit faster, don't know if that's because of the panels or the registry tweaks, but i doubt I can do much abaout it, for that I just don't have enough knowledge of how this whole WinMo stuff works
thx for it

Yes, you can replace the original netcf folder w/ mine.
Removal of panel helps a bit, and there are lot more other tweaks and stuff removal to squeeze more speed from x1. You can use SPB benchmark to get benchmark result as well.
I realy like this Rom thanks a lot, bute there´s no Radio Panel can you provide it as a .cab file?
seems like the panels are there but not linked anymore???
regards cHarOn
Only the "Sony Ericsson Panel" and "Fish Panel" are there but not linked (I don't use them). The others are removed/not installed. But I will upload the cabs today, so you can install them if you want to.
can u do a much lighter version? no panels for example?
No sry, I can't.. I just don't know how and don't have too much free time at the moment either. This rom is just a "first aid" kit for those who want to get rid of the stupid mediafile demos etc. taking up their free space ;-)
I would be glad if some experienced member could take over the "development" of german customized roms, but so long I think this is better than nothing ;-)
The hard spl doesn`t work - Yes it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.52.OliNex.MFG (this is SSPL!).
but then the error message is coming and no
"Hard-SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done"
Any idea ?
Greetings from Frankfurt
Thx,
Where can I download the HTC Taskmanager with the german language (mui?)
as cab-file?
Karsten
i found an working cab-file.
*updated to v1.1*
I use your ROM since the 1st release and I love it
Are you going to release an update the next time with R3A or the new WM 6.5? If yes, i will wait for your great work!
Regards
µ
same question^^
Are you going to release an update the next time with R3A?

all the DEV's that have made it possible to dump,port and cook roms with their unbelivable tools
Extra special thanks to bepe for putting together some of the best tool around XDA into the DEV kitchen that I use for several devices
for updates and tricks
gues this will be helpfull
Some extra info Manila2D(TouchFLO2D) does work on Shift but some tabs wan't work in landscape. the main problem with Manila would then be that it would be hard to type on the keyboard when the window is in portrate.
to get access to Activesync if you need to setup excange sever download this cab Activesync_link.cab it will put a link in the Connections folder
Needed maybe
just incase I need it
Wow!Gullum thanks!
I would realy aprisiate some feedback from thoese that have tried it
HELP !!!!!
when I started your exe file, prompt showed up, asked me Run program or Cancel, I pushed Run and that dialog windows disapear and no more response from exe program. Any help or solution ???
You did a great job. I really apreciate the big buttons and controls as they improve using the Shift in my car mount.
I haven't found any bugs so far.
Thanks
I didn`t found any bugs either. Some icons are crappy but that is nothing. Awesome rom, thanks!
Thank you for this ROM I believe it has good collection of tools & important softwares.
I'm downloading it X will be more than happy to post suggestions & ideas.
In the meanwhile, I'm wondering what is the use of internet sharing tool? Isn't already 'the vista, connected to the internet?
thank you very much.
If you are using for example Ubuntu on your shift you need internet sharing to connect to internet using 3G.
Thanks Gullum! Wll try this over the weekend. Is PowerPoint included? didn't see it in the list of Office Apps.
Brill
hello,
Thanks for the awesome ROM.
I agree with you totally that this is how the WM side should be - finger friendly and quick. This is my preferred ROM.
Yes,powerpoint is included
is there any tools to change resolution?
Very nice ROM. Thanks for reliving this forum
thanks, nice rom
Very nice rom, but mic still don't work..
Brill
The dictionary program Merriam-Webster installs and runs great on this ROM. It is free in its trial mode.
I also installed Youtubeplay, which is a bit of a chore with the screen resolution. I might install the VGA resolution changer so that I can change resolution, as I do rather miss the extra sceen space in google maps.
I also found the screen rotation to be a handy tool, so I am going to install quick menus or something similar.
gullum
thanks for the awesome ROM. Did you try to port XIP from the chinese RAW files that I posted in a different thread? I vaguely remember that MIC was working in that ROM. ROM version is 1.33.xxx Chinese Traditional. Even alex_time also confirmed that he saw that in his Italian ROM. He also posted the RAW files and posted the links for them in a different thread.
Thanks again

I'm new to this rom cooking business here so i wanted to see what everyone wanted out of a ROM. I've already made something with the help of all folks on XDA but i'm not sure if this is something i want to release because its not really any different than the roms that are already out there except its probably slower
The idea of this is for everyone to tell me what they want in a rom and maybe some advice in cooking ROMs would be nice.
My Ideas:
1. A lite ROM
2. an SPB ROM (of course you would have bought SPB mobile shell to use this)
3. A touch flo 3d rom (Just because i love itje and chalid's ROMS)
1. Touchflo 3D... that is a MUST for me
2. ALL Microsoft apps included with X1. I lose MS notes program with Xperience
3. ALL included games
4. perhaps a new panel or two
5. instant messaging
6. more stable bluetooth
7. wifi networking / UMA calling
Just things that I would like... not sure how feasible some are, but definitely a wish list.
1. A TF3D version that is capable of handling AVRCP and A2DP correctly!!! (like daran clarkes)
2. Voip
basicly just a fast default ROM without anything special.
so lightweight plx!?
so i can install TF3D instead of manilla (a2dp, seems faster too)
Agreed upon the TF3D..that is deffinatly a must! IN PORTRAIT AND LANDSCAPE
ALL MS Office Apps
All Stock Apps + Additional ones from diff roms
A few new panels
Full QWERTY Keyboard
(Xperice is good, but i dont like the blackstone layout for dialer nor password screen) I like the metal brush look like the stock one had

Are you talking about One Note? I can definitely add that back. The one i already cooked i removed that too.
3. ALL included games
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By All included games do you mean Sudoku and Bejwelled? I believe they are both shareware... Would anyone be interested in having emulators in there although they don't quite work without the WVGA fix?
4. perhaps a new panel or two

Click to collapse
I had originally removed panles but maybe that is another ROM i will create. One with Panels, One without plus TFL3D and one with Both.
5. instant messaging

6. more stable bluetooth
7. wifi networking / UMA calling

Are you talking about the TF3DBETA2 that is out? Thats the one i'm working off of with adding touchflo3d. Its modded with itje's beautiful touch of blue stuff but i might be changing that all to red. I have to figure out how to edit manila files.

yep! thats the one im talking about. i read that it has propper a2dp support while the manilla doesnt have. havnt had a chance to test it yet since my car radio got stolen last month
oh and plz ... if there has to be TF3D on teh ROm, DONT mod it with colors. turning the tf3d into blue is easy, but making it black aggain is kinda impossible cause i havnt found the darn skin/cab for it yet.
Hmmm well thats interesting. I was going to make it similar to itje's touch of blue but i was going to make it red but you have a valid point. I'll release those as cabs if i can find a free cab creation program.
I agree with the OP on his first suggestion;
A lite rom for each WM build, with updated drivers/tweaks and a selection of cabs for commonly used applications so we can pick and choose what we install.
I don't much like TF3D or Panels, I prefer SPB applications (low resource use and better customisation, IMHO).
Of course "tweaks and drivers" can sometimes be a matter of opinion, but as far as ROMs go I'd like any available choice to be mine. So if there's a choice between two or more Ati driver dlls, for example, to provide the ddls for download to be installed at the user's discretion.
Even an untweaked lite ROM for each WM build would be good, so we can experiment with tweaks and configuration as we see fit.
Whoa for each WM build? There are hundreds of builds out there. I will update the builds as i find out about them but i don't think i'll be cooking a ROM for each build out there. I think i'm going to start with a lite rom.
Question to all. Do you want panel manager installed so you have the flexibility to install the panels or just blank. If i don't install panels i'm going to try and remap the the panel buttion to a start button.

Panels are cool IMHO
I would love to see a rom that is as close to stock as possible regarding content.
A stock rom with tweaked settings for performance. No added programs (such as TF3D, games, plugins, apps etc.)
Then provide links to cab files containing new apps and so on.
Etc. a cab for TF3D, cab for Blackstone Dialer, cab for Blackstone keyboard and so on.
That way people can install those seperately and get their phone 100% like they want it.
The main problem with most roms is that people do not want all of it so by making a single clean stock rom containing only updated apps, drivers and tweaks and then making cab files available that would certainly make more users switch.

Agreed 100%.
I hope you make a basic tweaked rom where you can add or remove your cabs. so you can easily update de progs by uninstall the old cab and replace it with the new version.
I'm going to start working on a Lite ROM tonight when i get home. I'm going to try a performance tweak that i've done before..... Hopefully i don't brick my phone
As many of those who responded:
- TF3D
- All stock apps* (Yes, i want OneNote, i use it at work and it is great)
- All stock games*
- to be stable enough, to use for few months without worrying about flashing again..
*about stock apps and games, it is ok also to remove them from the ROM but at least provide them as cabs.
basically a FAST rom, these little devices are nice, but the small lags are quite annoying when you are in a hurry (like when you slide the keyboard to write someone s name to cal them but then you slide it back because you want to phone without the keyboard extended)
I'd agree on most points!
A great idea to start cooking
I think it would be pretty neat if you could cook a rom with all the stuff (TF3D, panels manager and so on) but make the apps uninstallable, if possible and please please please leave the tf3d in black I just love the whole stuff on may phone in black!
p.s.: did you see the ripped max 4G contacts app? its much better than the htc and windows one. I installed it today and its really smooth!
Thanks in advance!
You have a problem with the speed of the screen rotation? I haven't seen this on any of the roms i've used with the exception of my current one lol.. but i think i screwed something up.
hi everybody,that's my first thread here,i'm from italy,my blackstone has a cooked rom "lucapicci nextgen 1.7.2 with wm6.1
i don't like any graphic user interface,after i tried everything,manila,spb mobile shell,pointui....i prefer to use the simply,light,windows without interface.
so,
i wanna try a rom based on wm 6.5 or 6.5.1 but i can't find a picture of the today without graphin interface.
can u help me?
thanx!
i wanted to ask the same thing...
is there an original WM 6.5.1
yay naked is teh pr0n!!11

premium without manila should suit your needs
thanks man,but i can't find any screenshot....
bye!
Use google ? I think there are more than enough 6.5 screenshots arround
Why don't you just disable Sense then?
i've tried to lookin for with google,i found a lot of pics,but i dont know how is the wm6.5 without interface...
maybe i have to choose a rom and flash the blackstone.....
They all have the basic windows interface you just need to disable the HTC one and enable the windows default, as mentioned above there are a million screenshots online if you use a search engine like google.
from any 6.5 rom...
click start/settings/today
you'll then be presented with the theme selection page, at the bottom are two tabs "appearance" and "items"
click the "items" tab
you'll then see a tickbox list
DESELECT "HTC Sense"
SELECT "Windows Default"
press the tick in the top right hand corner
press the home button.
That's how windows 6.5 looks.
If you want you can also change the themes from the "appearance" tab you were at earlier, most roms come with 3 or 4 6.5 themes as well as the htc and windows default versions.

you are wrong.
HTC stuff works under, like oversized keyboard for grannies, very bad contact manager if you really use it, calendar appointment manager (which allows you only to snooze for 5mins), album which leaves goo in every folder it visited, and other not so easily detected stuff.
Disabling these flaws is not possible. Only by removing these brakes from the rom you get normally looking and behaving device.
BTW. there's many good up-to-date national ROMs without htc stuff by local chefs, they're just not WWE
take it easy with Ervius Kitchen give it a try and 2 evenings... you can cook perfect rom according to your choice... better than asking for any made Me did 23089 with only a basic apps I need, some wizards from htc which are not actually so bad (e.g. connection settings which automatically fulfill gprs, the htc keyboard and phone canvas). Man., contacts, etc. removed )
The only very bad thing with Ervius Kitchen by Sparkienl is the dshow driver, which has to be downloaded separately while the original new version is a piece of sh*t... follow the forum and you will see the solution.
If you are interested, I can upload you somewhere my rom... But I recommend you Sparkienl kitchen in this forum and building your own - really the fastest way, much more faster than asking still for improvements anybody.
sure you can upload your ROM somewhere
Or you can share with us the package selections (package.txt or *.erv) you selected.
