OK, after finally getting my BA perfect with 2003SE, I decided to take the plunge last night and upgrade to TuMa's 1.4 WM5 ROM...
All went well until this morning when I couldn't get the phone app to work, at all!
So I did a HR and all was fine, I added all my trusty apps, including TomTom, Vito SmartMap and Vito Navigator II and they all worked... I even got my i.Tech BT Stereo Headset to work in both handsree and stereo headset mode... while connected to my Fortuna ClipOn GPS with both TomTom and Navigator II!!!!
I realised this afternoon that I hadn't installed Pocket Informant so I tried... and tried... and tried...
Then I realised that I was missing something... I didn't resize my Ext_ROM on my initial upgrade and it was unlocked using the XDA tool on this site, so I had 43 Meg Storage Memory, 96 Meg Program Memory and the 16 Meg Ext_ROM... or at least I did when I first flashed it! After this mornings flash there was no Ext_ROM to be seen!!
I am now in the process of Downgrading back to 2003SE as I understand the Unlock tools only work in that OS... I think I'm going to take the plunge now, resize my storage to 60 Meg, and reinstall TuMa's ROM, in my opinion it is awesome!!
In short I had:
Working Wi-Fi
Working BT (Including Voice Dialling) (No Unrequested Powerups either!)
Working A2DP
Working MMS
Working GPRS
And a much nicer interface, and to be honest once all the apps were loaded, I didn't really see it as any slower than 2003SE with the same burden of software, I run:
Wisbar Advance 2
SBSH Pocket Breeze
SBSH Contact Breeze
Spb Pocket Plus
Spb Weather
Spb GPRS Monitor
Spb Time
Resco File Explorer
Resco Audio Recorder
Pocket Informant 2005
Photo Contacts Pro
Skype
IM+
TomTom 5.21
SmartMap 3.51
Navigator II 1.31
and various games, and the only app which dragged at all was TomTom, but that was only on startup, once it was running it was fine...
My only dilemma now is are any of the other ROMS cleaner or faster? I tend to use Resco File Explorer rather than Total Commander, and Wisbar as opposed to VBar... so really the apps TuMa has supplies are a waste of space for me (even though they are in the ROM, I know!)... I've heard that Ivan R4.3 is speedy, but do any of them have the WiFi/BT stuff working as well as TuMa's?
Loads of info, and loads of questions I know, but I'm just so goddam excited!! I really wasn't expecting much from WM5, and I have so been pleasantly surprised!!
Slainté,
tekno
Wifi and bluetooth working nice in ivans version, i have no problems since using it
Cool, I've just got that one from the ftp site... off to flash now, I've heard it's faster, do I need to increase my storage to 60MB or can this one support Ext_ROM? I notice an older one of Ivan's did...
Slainté,
spkr4thdd
All ivans releases have a working Extrom, so get togehter the cabs on your PC, check how much space they take up then flash the Extrom to slightly larger (eg i have 19mb of cabs and 20mb of extrom) that way you will get the most storage space and still fit all your cabs in the extrom.

YES!!!!
One of the first cooked ROM's for 750!! This is a good thing for all.
Downloading now.
No Office Mobile
Currious thing happened when I flashed, (SD Method), I have seem to have lost Office. Can't find it anywhere. Any guesses?
Searched again and under the windows folder, there are some blank office files like OneNoteMobile, pword, and pxl. All these I can use, so it seems that the icons for word are missing in the programs folder, but the program itself IS installed. I wonder if the SD flashing method has something to do with it. Will reflash and see.
I too have lost Office programs. I also cant find a battery indicator without going to the power function.
Other than that, this ROM is fast! I will let you know about the stability in a couple of days. But its working great. Thanks
for some reason I have the gay volume icon on my top bar and it keeps on showing my volume as all the way down and I can't hear when people call me
g8..custom rom!!! looking forward to use it but it seems little buggy..anyway u can transport the bluetooth files from wm5 to this custom rom?? my tomtom6 works well with wm5 only
I'm sorry
It's my mistake. I'll fix it quickly.
Thx.

thuggin, onthezone:
I deleted Palm's BatteryIndicator. It cause a trouble with some key customizer. There are many software to display battery information more accurate.
chakli:
I ported System Files from double_ofour's Wizard ROM Kitchen. Unfortunatelly, I do'nt have TOMTOM.
BTW, I can give other features,
Delete PorkPie service(Auto Configulation for connection settings)
Delete Messaging(Pocket Outlook handles SMS only)
Delete WiredCarKit
Delete VoiceCommand
Does anyone need UltraLite Edition?
P.S.:I've fixed Office Issue, now. And I'll post it later
well I don't care about the battery icon being gone because I use pocket plus 4, but is there anyway you can get rid of the volume icon on top because everytime I touc it, it will mute my phone.
I'm using PocketPlus4, too. The smart scrolling feature is FAST FAST FAST! Amazing! I have Kaiser, but I like it than HTC touch feature. I'm going to cook Kaiser ROM to kill touch driver for PocketPlus4's smart scrolling

I want to use the new cooked rom
I stopped using my treo cause it was to slow... hopfully this will get me to use it again...
is there anyway to get it without using rapidshare... I have got that site to work
thanks
I think that Palm hasn't copmplete optimizing OEM package for WM6 yet, because of the OEM packages version 5.1.xx.xx.
It is difficult that all the Palm's features are suited to new AKUs.
To delete Palm's PhoneLookUp, your IM program may work.

Hi, it would be useful if you show us the package tree ^^ ,because i like your rom, but i want it in spanish, then i could make my own spanish lite rom. BTW, do you know how to get rid of all palm phone utility and have the windows default one?
feedback
First of all thx chaimd for your effort and time:
I had some sparetime tonight to flash and test your customrom.
I only flashed your OS and left the orginal (latest) ROW radio, at first all seems okay but I then when driving around I noticed that my navigation software (TomTom 6) was acting weird. Mainly strange (not complete) screen updates, loss of connection to BT GPS and missing parts on the screen. As this is a crucial function on my treo, I did no further testing and flashed back the ROW OS. After this TomTom 6 is functioning normal again.
Guess I will wait a while, till these little speedbumps are history.
Again, thx for your time
Kind regards

I was wondering if you could take a look at an issue for me...
I use a car kit via Bluetooth (Parrot CK3100), and the phonebook doesn't automatically sync from the phone to the car kit correctly. Instead of syncing the phone book, it only syncs contacts from the Speed Dial plugin. Even if I have Speed Dial turned off from the Today Items.
It's obvious that the phone has a working Sim Access Profile (rSAP), since it uploads the carrier name, battery level, and signal level to the kit; it's just pulling phone book entries from the wrong location.
I have no idea even where to point you to, since I have no idea how the inner workings of Windows Mobile mesh together...
Here's to hoping you can come up with something, it would be totally awesome!
I used thaihugo ROM as base for this. Thanks to thaihugo for providing this.
I added GoogleMaps, YouTubePlay, VicSoft Clear Temp, Adobe Reader LE for Diamond. Replaced current USBTool with modaco ShiftPack.Liberate. This fixes the Registry setting needed to install cabs. The only registry setting you need to do is changing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang value to your keyboard. You can find those values in plirom 2.00 thread.
I have also placed links to USBTool under Programs\Comm (thaihugo ROM has here) and also under SnapVue Settings (ShiftPack.Liberate does this). Here in SnapVue Settings you will see a link to SoftReset too. This is exactly what Shift.Liberate does currently whenever you liberate using modaco's procedure.
Memory:
Free Storage: 28.58 MB
Free Program: 21.21 MB
Here is the link to download RUU_Signed.nbh
Use CustomRUU.exe that is available in thaihugo and plirom threads.
The next upgrades to this ROM are HTC Voice Recorder, once I figure out how to enable the microphone, .NET 3.5, Screen Capture, and HTC official YouTube Player replacing YouTubePlay. I am also planing to remove original calculator with 1-Calc.
Disclaimer: This is a cooked ROM and is supported by neither Microsoft nor HTC. Neither I nor the ones from who I learned how to cook should be held responsible for any malfunctions or irreversible damage that may cause by flashing this ROM to the device. Use at your own risk. Bottom line, I take no responsibility for the damages that may happen to your device by flashing this ROM.

Hi Ram,
The GoogleMaps version is not the update one in your Rom. Could you put the update one (ver. 2.2.0.19) in your next upgrades?
Thanks.

Hi Martiare
There are two ways
1. you could use external bluetooth receiver that your vista side could use to connect using BlueTooth or USB, easiest and fastest way of doing it.
2. If you wish to use internal GPS of Shift then, you need to install either thaihugo's ROM, pliROM or RamROM, which can be downloaded from this forum (search is your friend). Once you install them, you have multiple options, but the one I use is using Franson's GPSGate Client for Vista and WinMo. I bought this for $49 and I feel good investment. Install GPSGatePPC on WinMo side, and GPSGate on Vista side. Configure GPSGatePPC to work on ActiveSync. Configure GPSGate to receive signals from ActiveSync. And install Maps software such as AutoRoute or Micosoft Streets, Earthmate etc. on Vista side and thats all.
Thanks

First of all let me thank you and all other "cookers" for your continuous effort. I've been following the birth and the growth of quite a high number of ROM's, and I still can't understand if it's a good or a bad thing... I mean: surely everyone that flashes a newly cooked ROM acts as a beta-tester for the "chef" and for all other users that don't dare or simply can't flash a new ROM each week. Moreover each new ROM, even if adds some (in)compatibility problem, solves many others (just think about the possibility to use GPS). And this is the good part of the situation.
On the other hand I feel a bit confused. Each new ROM has many good things, but lacks in others, IMO. I know it's a matter of personal taste, but for instance I would really like that PliROM's home could be the standard for each other ROM. And that's just one of the things that I (and each one of us) could point up.
May I suggest to write down a list of the components and let a survey start? If 90 people over 100 should prefer PliROM's interface instead of original Shift one (again: it's just an example), why to continue developping ROMs with other interfaces?
I say this because I'm absolutely unable to cook anything, and I think that many of us can't.
Of course I'll go on flashing new (stable) ROMs, trying to beta-test , at least for a few weeks... than I'll have to go back to work and I wouldn't run the risk anymore to loose data or hardreset
Pure Snapvue
Hi Sai ;
Even though the user interface is really limited , i -personally- prefer using snapvue ...
So ... is there a way for you to
-either let me know how to disable the top bar with the start menu on your liberated rom
or
-cook a rom only cab-install and gps enabled , so that i can go on my own way...
My very best regards

Hi Ram,
Thanks a lot! If you can cook the 2nd CHT version with the updated GoogleMaps will be perfect! One more request, can you use pli6128's plirom v2.00 WWE 1.22.405.0 96dpi to cook the CHT 2nd version? Because I tried and feel it's user friendly and the key buttons for both contacts and programscan be address. Also, I found it stable too.
Thanks.

Sure I will use pliROM as base for the new version, or may be I will have an option that would install HTC Home like pliROM does or SnapVue like thaihugo does. I think I would go with this optional one.

For free GPS Tracking in Google Earth, and Google Maps mobile, checkout http://www.reperion.com and choose basic, free download.
You don't need to boot vista to see your realtime tracks, all you have to do is import your Reperion KML network link to Google Mobile Maps !
It will give you much much more than just tracking... check it out

Thanks Ram and cookers!
Installed and working. Just one query about the GPS side though.....
I'm using a UK version of the shift for starters that is only a few months old. I've fllashed the Rom as above and also installed the GPSGate software on both sides. That all seems to be working fine and the WinMob side has found the GPS Module on COM4 and is receiving data but no location. After having read the other threads I appreciate you have to stand in the middle of a field for i to pick up the satellites. Unfortunately I have tried this and it still isnt picking them up. Is it possible that HTC has now stopped installing the GPS Antennas in recent Shifts (no, I haven't opened it up to look)?
Any other ideas?

Honestly I don't know if they might have removed it. But to be sure, look if you have any data comming in. Do you have any sattelites inview when using HTC GPS util? Look at the sattelite tab.

in HCTC GPS Tool (Settings tab) press Open Button, in the lower part you will see some scrolled text, when you run GPS software for the first time you have to wait for 15-30 minute to recieve the signals, then go to Satellite tab the no. of satellite used must be 3 or more to get your location, thise what I did, hope it is the correct way.

I agree with you completely. I don't think they would have removed it. It may be some issues with the position or something related to GPSGate configuration. I also come into issues where it would take good 15 to 20 minuts to lock my Shift for the first time especially with overcast skies, evenings and inside the building. I may be wrong too, HTC might have removed the GPS altogether in the newer systems, but that would be a drastic step for HTC. If they do so, I would suggest buying RAON Everun and tether it with a Kaiser or Hermes would be cheaper. You would have a GPS receiver on your WinMo, and have bluetooth, SD, Wifi handy and you could connect your Everun to that and it fits in the pocket, eventhough the screen is nearly 5" as opposed to 7". But that is cheaper alternative and runs on more manageable XP. And installing GPSGate on WinMo and XP gives me to have the GPS on bigger screen.
Thanks
Ram
Got the GPS Tool running again. It's hovering on Sat 32 and 14 with the odd scan of no. 1 on its own. Going to leave it on the windowledge overnight as the field isn't really an option!
I'm used to using a Garmin Zumo on the motorbike that takes seconds to find the sats and TomTom on my Hermes in the car and also it's own in-built Toyota Effort. None takes this long to find satellites.
But it is fun, isn't it!!!

Yep, it is kind of slow, once you get the location fixed, and it uses 2 satellites, the things move pretty fast. I have quite a good number of GPS devices, and all of them are pretty fast when compared to this.
Thanks
Ram
So the GPS Tool locked up the WinMob side , it mustn't have liked being left on all night! Pulled the battery and reset. Hey Presto the sky is full of satellites tonight and all is working fine!!!! It takes ages to take its initial reading of where everything is, has a real good think about it and then decides to work.
Now looking forward to any future incarnations.
Many thanks to all
New version of WM 6.1 uploaded June 14 09
I havn't had any real internet connection for months so I couldn't get eny new build's for some time.
I also am without work so I can't aford getting an proper internet connection so my updates wan't be often as the only internet I have most of the time is GPRS.
anyway here you have a WM 6.1 and WM 6.5 rom with phone working thanks to Cmonex
the WM6.5 is mostly just a test and mighty not be good for day to day usage yet because of the memory usage of WM6.5 only around 10 mb free ram.
I do think I can make some changes to the better so the 6.5 rom can become more useable because wm 6.5 is running nice and fast on shift and it's also the rom I will like to continu working on for my personal use
in the next week or 2 I'll gather as much info from you so when I get back here (Parents hous only place I can have good internet) in 2 weeks I'll hopefully have a better rom for you and all bugs might be ironed out

Bugs:
Bouth roms
no icon in taskbar for conection status eg. E or G
WM 6.1 only
WM 6.5 only
ActiveSync icon in Connection folder does nothing (Restarting you device should fix it reported by shaytaan)
Thanks a million.
Coiuld you tell us in your #1 posting if it's snapvue enabled, and which programs are installed on both versions ?
I'm going to install your WM6.5 first, and will send any bigs found in the 6.1 (as 6.5 is more or less just for play)

I'll update post 1 later tonight when my son has falen asleep
snapvue today plug is in the wm 6.1 if thats what you meen
wm 6.5 has a customiced titanium
The 6.5 ROM has no ActiveSYnc possibility. The icon fails to launch.
"the file MSSYNCAPP" cannot be opened, not trusted, or components not found..."
Flashing 6,1 now
Tip : Forget the SIM autoconfigure, it will save some space.
CDMA ROM needed
Any chance of making this work on the CDMA Shift ??? I am not sure why, but I am stuck in the bootloader despite a hard reset. The only rom that installs properly is the one that left me in this fix. Any CDMA folks out there, or someone with a GSM rom that knows what is needed to switch it to a CDMA compatible version ?
Just installed v6.5, and IT IS FANTASTIC
I like it very much, thanks alot gullum
<lucid> ActiveSYnc works, you have to restart your device
In the 6.1 ROM, the TASKS icon fails to launch, even after a soft reset,
thanks for the update on activesync on 6.5 version.
As I need GPS to be duplexed to to Vista, I recommend putting GPS2Blue in, but you have to ask the authors of that program, like ThaiHugo did.
For the WM 6.5 rom, the home screen font's is a little big. I tried setting it smaller via screen, text size but won't work.
All in all good to see your ROM's. Let's hope one of these days the secret comes out on SD access.
Does the ROM work with headset and mic to talk into or is it still speakerphone only..
Thanks
how come i cant build os of your rom?you deleted the packges files?
i cant seem to connect to the internet using snapvue but the phone function works. am i missing something?
Can someone host these on rapidshare? If they're hosted once, I'll host them on my account as well to get more links for them up. I'm unable to open mediafire.com from China. All the help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
Caid.

It works fine.
I installed 6.5 last night. It works fine for me!
Looks EXCELLENT Gullum!
If you have any internet troubles, check your ISP/WAP settings
My ATT added 2 sets of settings, one incorrect, one half correct (so both wrong, but an easy fix by changing the Username)
Some questions:
Is there a way to add to the "Quick Links" to edit the program list?
Also, Is the Network Folder via Connections available in ROM or should we add it manually? (The one in Age of Reason is simple to use)
Also, as far as hosting, I have a server with unlimited bandwidth (just limited storage of 60 GB) that I can host some files as a straight download if that helps in anyway, jus PM me and I can give you access to upload to it.

thank you very much
Hi guys,
My dad's handed me his Vario III / (Kaiser 120) to use.
I did a reset using the option in 'SETTINGS' to reset it and lose all date. Now, when I start it up, it looks like new and the time/date has to be set. All my dad's contacts have gone. Cool. - 1. Was this a Hard-Reset ?
I went to something like SETTINGS > INFO and got this:
Radio Vers 1.70.18.02
ROM DATE 9/01/08
ROM Vers. 3.31.110.3 WWE
Build 19212.1.03
When I start it up, it says Windows Mobile v6.1
A couple years ago, I loaded tomtom navigator on it for my dad. It was really good with the internal gps.
Anyway, now that I have the phone, I'd like to install tomtom navigator on it, use the camera (maybe 10 photos a week) and upload pics to my PC, and browse the internet (email, twitter etc.) from time to time. Also, I'd use the handset to connect via bluetooth to my laptop so I can use it for internet (in emergencies, as it is kinda slow). I also text (3-5 texts a day)
I also downloaded an app called Shazam.cab from a site called mobilism, which I would love to use as I have seen it on my lucky friend's iPhone and the app is awesome!
2. Apart from the usb cable, and active sync on my pc, do i need anything else to install shazam on my phone/micro sd card?
3. I assume a ROM means operating system? Like windows xp, 7 etc.
I see that people are putting new ROMs on their phone. My phone has
Storage Free Space: 121MB and Programs Free 55MB. There isn't a lot of 'bloatware' hogging up resources on there, as far as i can see.
4. Do I need to install a custom ROM now that you know my uses (in blue font above) for the phone? / do I need to flash it? I.e. will a new ROM/flash make my life a lot easier? Better to convert to android system? Will I need to do any of these things to install shazam?
I was goin to do this on the weekend so I can use other sims in my phone:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
fingers crossed it goes ok.
Can you please help?
Thank you
Sonny
ps. I may need to ask a couple more questions after this. Once again thank you for your help. If anyone needs advice on cameras, please let me know as I am a regular contributor to a photography forum.
1. Yes, it was HARD-Reset (removes all settings, contacts, messages, ...). It doesn't do anything to the MicroSD card.
2. I don't know anything about that. Sorry!
3. Yes, ROM means operating system. There are stock ROMs and modified ROMs. For Kaiser (a.k.a. HTC TyTN II) you'll find only stock Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM and lots of modified WM 6.1 and WM 6.5 ROMs. There's no stock WM 6.5 ROM for Kaiser.
4. Android is not stable enough. Sometimes it crashes, doesn't wake up and so on... All your mentioned things can be done with both WM 6.1 and 6.5, so it's for you to decide what to use. WM 6.1 looks a little bit old and terrible, but it uses less resources than WM 6.5 which looks a little bit... like system that was made to be similar to iPhone OS. Yes, WM 6.5 is more finger-friendly, but the applications grid drives me crazy, it uses more resources (and loves draining the battery)
Thank you very much for taking the time to post. I found it really useful.
I stuck with original HTC ROM with 6.1 and I am loving it. Shazam works wonderfully well. The phone is so damn sharp. And, using 2 apps at once is brilliant.
Does anyone know if I can put more icons/apps on the TODAY SCREEN?
At the moment, I am only allowed to put 6 in the start menu screen, and 1 (tom tom) on the today screen.
My Start menu has: 1 File explorer, 2 organiser (i use the calculator a lot), 3 internet explorer, 4 MS word (for my notes), 5 shazam (use a lot), 6 Resco photo manager (for uploading to FlickR)
I'd like to add 2 more apps (wunder radio + core player) somewhere with quick access.
Any ideas?
Thank you
Try copying applications links (.lnk files) from \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ to \Windows\Start Menu\
I'm not sure if it's going to work with Windows Mobile 6.1, but it's safe to try
