I just upgraded to special ROM v1.2. I like it very much and would like to thanks all the guys made this possible.
My problem is that i don't want some of the applications given with the above mentioned ROM v1.2.
Is it possible to delete what i don't like, especially the little icons on the "today screen"?
Or i should use the original O2 UK ROM and then add the applications i like?
in the "remove programs" utility i don't see any of the application installed, is it because they are "inside" the ROM?
Thanks in advance
Yes they are in rom, if you go to the rom kitchen you can choose which programs you want included in your rom.

I see, but if i don't have a unix machine how can i make my own rom? is there a kitchen to cook roms under win?
dNuOs
If you followed the link you will see that you can choose your base rom and then tick any of the other programs that you want to include in it, within memory constraints, you then go to the base of the screen and click to cook the rom, once cooked you can download it and then burn it into your xda via exe method or sd method, the kitchen runs on unix but you dont need unix to use the cooked roms as you will know having used the 1.2 special edition rom. I hope this helps.
i{m try to put any rom in my wizard but only 3 give me results the faria rom the mb rom and the core rom so tellme what is the best rom for wizard
in advance thx
How on earth are we meant to tell you what rom is the best?
Faria's and xplore rate highly, molski is also up there, at the moment im investigating mfrazzz's rom. It is a matter of personal preference, there is no definitive best rom because all wizard owners are recycling the same poo.
Im not flaming you but it would be nice if you pulled your socks up before you thought about posting a question such as this again.

1. Decide what programs you really want to use.
2. Decide what programs you really don't want to have.
3. Decide which base OS you want to run - stable or bleeding edge.
4. Pick the ROM's that are a close match to your choices in #1 & #2.
5. Read the entire posts for those ROMs, and decide from user feedback on which to use.
6. Try a few, get a feel for what works best for you. No rom is right for any one person. It just depends on what kind of base you want, and how much customization you want to do.
Best bet is to stick to the high profile roms, such as Faria's, Xplore, Crossbow Reloaded, etc... while you're checking things out. Test, test, test...
Then when you're ready, build your own
Is there a (mostly) complete list of released ROMs anywhere?
I'm having trouble learning what is the latest WM6 version is, seeing as some ROMs have a v10.2.xxx and some a 15.x.xxx and others a 6.2.xx. What on Earth do these version numbers mean?
Is there a thread I simply haven't found which explains this?

What features do you like?
What do you use your phone for?
What do YOU like?
No one can answer this question for you. You need to research each ROM and see if it has the features that you like. If you want to know what others are using then look at their signatures and you will see what they like. But that of course is no indication whatsoever that you will like it too.
All of the dedicated cookers on this site do outstanding work and each has their own style. There is no "best" ROM, they are all top notch in their own respects. Try them out, use them for a few days, see if they meet your needs.

I haven't looked at the Wizard WIKI lately because most of my focus has been on my Hermes of late. But at least for the Hermes there is a page that lists all available roms with links to the release threads and to the download sites and mirrors. If there isn't something like this for the Wizard you could always start this yourself with the information that you research and hopefully others will contribute and keep it going.
im in the process of making a rom for my mogul but i need to know what would be the best one. ive hear of dcd, but i hear there a dogguys one and a no2chem one. so please tell me what would work best for a good rom creator. also does anyone know how to change both the main bootsplash and the sub bootsplash on the mogul because i hate the boring old stock ones. thank you.
go for DCD's Kitchen....get the rom YOU want....

Curiously enough, I'm teaching a class on Religions of the World right now.
BTW, we call it Titan.

This isn't necessarily a kitchen, because it is already a cooked rom.
If you look at VetVito's base rom, it actually reports 47.88 mb of total program memory. This is a full 900k more than the next closest ROM. I turned off the HTC Home and Microsoft Live Search home screen plugins and after soft-reset, there is >27 mb of RAM available (Free).
I'm using it now and it is snappy and every little bit of extra available ram, helps.

So you use your PPC w/o adding any programs? Isn't that like having a PC just to run notepad?
I'd reccomend you check the other kitchens out as well. i've not used the ppckitchen.org kitchen but I know dogguys kitchen will give you the ability to dump any rom you choose as your base. This may work better for some people who don't like my customizations, or want to use a more stock base as mine has become a little more experimental lately.
does anyone have the link to dogguys or nochems kitchens i wanna try thiers. was anyone successful in changing their bootsplash to a custom one

no2chem's basekit is a really good foundation to build your ROM off of, but I personally think DCD is pretty hard to beat...
Hi there!
I need a working ROM for my HTC Touch Pro.
I found one (hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470164) but that one was posted in 2007 so the download file is long gone from the internet! It was a ROM with a Stock market tab in FT3D.
I've read the rules and the Wiki but still I can't find what I'm looking for on this forum because of the many ROM's people have made! Don't get me wrong: I think that's great but I need help locating the right manilla that can be downloaded! Or point me in the direction were to look!
Thanks for your help! and greetingz from Holland
Mike
Er...
Well the latest is Manila 2.5 or sense 2.5 w/e you want to call it.
Most of the roms offer one or the other.
perrsonally i recommend energy rom... they're wonderful.
Leo version is slow but pretty
Pheonix two is strong.

Oké! Thanks for your replay. I've read somewere that manilla 2.6 is still in beta?
I know (from the wiki) that I have a HTC "Raphael" (touch pro...duh! ) but I see a lot of ROM's for the Diamond and pro 2 aswell! Do they all work fine on the Touch pro to? As a newbie I don't know were to look for when I'm looking for a ROM.
Can I create a ROM of my one? What need I to do that? I know my way around Paint Shop Pro but not around programming like in C++.
Manila (aka SenseUI)
Newer versions of Manila may require that you use a WinMO 6.5 custom ROM as HTC released the new 2.x versions of Manila (aka Sense) on devices that sported WinMO 6.5.
Additionally, some of the recent Manila releases (ex: 2.5, 2.6) may be versions obtained from dev/test ROM source. If you're after stability or rely on your device, this may not be preferable.
Custom ROM's
There are several customs available ... some chefs even release different ROM streams. In many cases, custom ROM's will also contain recent application updates. If you're after stability or rely on your device, once again this may not be preferable.
Custom ROM's are usually specific to devices. For example, if you own a Raphael GSM device, you only flash custom ROM that are Raphael GSM specific. Flashing custom ROM's from a different device or CDMA may permanently damage your device.
Kitchen (DIY Custom ROM)
Building a custom ROM has become much simpler. Many chefs who have moved onto another mobile device will often release a final ROM as well as the kitchen they use to prepare the ROM ... this serves as a great starting point.
Additionally, there are many tutorials available on how to use kitchens floating around the forum.
Lastly, moderators typically close threads requesting "What's The Best ROM" as selecting a custom ROM is like choosing a vehicle, house, partner ... it's all about personal preference. And from past experiences, these types of threads usually get out of control pretty quick. So, to avoid having a thread that you start closed, it is best to avoid "What's The Best ROM" discussions.
HTH,
OH..........sorry!
Don't want to upset the moderators!
Then I have just one final question:
Is there on this forum-part a topic with a standard ROM with instruction on how to customize it? Or can I find those things in the Wiki?
I would like to contribute to theme's or even a Dutch ROM.
I only need to know/learn how to do that! Can someone give me a link to some documentation and files/programs to use?
Thanks!

AFAIK, there isn't a "Generic" ROM with customization tips. What most members do is download a kitchen and post any customization related question in the corresponding kitchen thread.

Cheers,
I have read about Remotetracker.
I also read it would be possible to cook it into a ROM.
I have coocked a rom allready (on touch HD), surprisingly simple, but not so simple to immediately try... [and the testing afterwards]
If ROMS are around with Remotetracker build in, please could you tell me which?
I already searched the ROM Development forum, but a search for Remotetracker gives me a lot of thrads, but in (at least the first ones returned) i found no reference to Remotetracker.
The only one would be Chucky ROM (with kitchen) which mentiones it as an "addon" (does this mean you will have to (re)cook the rom to get it in?
In the meantime I will continue my investigation .....
Thanx in advance
none that i'm aware of, because there wouldn't be much point cooking it into a mass release rom, because the settings would only be stored on the sd card, so the thief removes or wipes the card and remotetracker wouldn't work.
if you want it hardreset and sd card missing safe, then you need to cook it in yourself, after preparing your custom settings. (there is a tool on the creators site to generate a reg file of your personal settings to add to your kitchen when you cook.)
Thanks, I hoped there would be roms with remotetracker build in, but apparently not (done some more searching).
This brings up another question:
Is there a guide on how to cook your own ROM?
I just found one, dated from April and cleared as obsolete.
I looked for kitchen and cooking rom, but cannot find the nessesary information.
Personally I like energy roms, but I cannot find the kitchen used....
It has been a while, so it is not so clear anymore how to cook.
It would be nice if there is a guide/tutorial/manual for cooking your own ROMs.
