I have received requests to customize the 1.72.187 UK ROM for Asian users. As requested, here it is.
This extended ROM is based on the latest UK release of 1.72.187, and was customized for asian users of the XDA II.
All the latest versions of the software in the base ROM are included, minus all O2 UK custom settings and software, however all configuration settings are set to the old Asian extended ROM version 1.60.44.
I also added the latest drivers/software for the Socket Communications SDIO Wifi card and the XDA II Thumb Keyboard which automatically install as a part of the post install tasks.
I had to remove the Java MIDlet Manager included in the base ROM since the size limit of the extended ROM was exceeded, and I also removed the O2 Active UI since it is customized for O2 UK users. I included the installer .CAB file for the MIDlet Manager in the .ZIP file so that it can be installed manually after the ROM upgrade if desired.
CHANGES from the other custom ROM (1.72.181):
1. Based on the UK ROM version 1.72.187
2. No Blackberry support
3. Added the ClearType font fix from ROM version 1.60.44
4. Added the Extended ROM Viewer patch (Extended ROM can now be seen in File Explorer)
I have already tested it on my Xda II and I had no problems with flashing it and I am currently experiencing no issues with it whatsoever.
THe download is available further down in this thread, I removed the old download because it was corrupted.

Would you consider to put in the SRS rotation and key as well?
Also, can you provide a brief guide for how to install the file?
The files you attached is just the nbf file. Also, what's the use for the password?
Thanks again.

When the SRS backporting to the Xda II is at its most stable stage, I will include it in the extended ROM, as of now I feel its still unstable, although I feel that the guys working on it are doing an excellent job (my personal opinion).
To use the file is just 3 steps:
1. Extract the contents of the original UK ROM update (Xda_II_172187_Final.exe) into any directory of your choice with WinZip.
2. Extract the ms_.nbf from the custom ROM I posted into the same directory that you extracted the files from step 1, overwriting the original ms_.nbf.
3. Run the HimaUpgradeUt.exe executable to flash your device.
The password is for users whou would like to further customize the ROM where openning it up requires a password. I only posted the extended ROM since it was the only part of the original ROM that was customized, and posting the entire ROM would just result in a larger download.
Many thanks.
Understood now.
Tried the ROM but have problem with my C-guys wifi card....
Not sure whether it is the wlan software has some conflicts with the C-guys driver, have uninstalled the wlan software and will try the C-guys card again.
where can find the ROM?
Hi,

Hi,
I've just stumbled across this project and hence discovered that I have the option to use software other than the official HTC-release ROMs.
I have an unlocked X7500 which I had previously been using with the original HTC image (WM5). I upgraded to their new WM6 image which of course meant that I had to re-install all my customisations so I decided to take the opportunity to investigate the various custom ROMs.
I am now running PK's Project Black v2.0.
What I'm struggling with is trying to work out what additional upgrades I can/should apply to this image. For example, the various Radio ROM upgrades - are they required with PK's PB 2.0?
Is there a definitive list that describes what software is available for WM6 images, especially PB 2.0?
One specific question I have is: should I install all the add-ons from the PK 2.0 Add-ons bundle? Also, how do I install those cab files?
Any clarification would be much appreciated to someone new to this area.
Thanks,
R.

There are tons of programs available for WM6,
I think there is no list of all those,
just like there is no list for all WinXP programs out there.
The additional sw for BlackTouch2 can be found in the ADDONS Cab.

It's up to you.
If you want Acobat, intall it.
If you like TCPMP, install it.
To install, copy the cab files to you device,
and open them with a file explorer (on your device)
You can delete the cab files after installation.
PS: You don't have to think about which ROM to choose,
you already have the best out there

I think what I was meaning was more along the lines of "what are all the programs in the add-on rarball?". Obviously, I know what Acrobat is (!) but what's RealVGA? And something like "WM5_PPC_HTC_Opera865_2211_generic.cab" - Opera, from WM5? Why would I want/need that on WM6? You understand what I'm asking?

Read the RealVGA thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830 The Athena doesn't run at full V+GA resolution RealVGA lets you change the res so you can see more on scree, being an old git I use the middle of the 3 resolutions available using RealVGA.
The Opera cab is the latest version of Opera - I believe teh WM5 prefix was put on by Opera - but it is the latest version for WM6 as well
Can't remember what else is in there at the mo - don't have it with me but if you ask I'm sure someone will answer. All the progs are the latest and best of breed for WM6 and if you want them, install them.

update 23/10/2009 - current project state is in this post
original post:
I've build new ROM based on latest WM6.1 build and packages from HTC Mega
There were some problems with new HCT Album 3, Manila2d 2 and EzInput 2, and I didn't update them.
I use Manila 1.20 and Iolite versions of Album and EzInput.
All other packages are updated.
If someone needs this ROM, I will upload it.
Screenshots:
EzInput 2 will work if you replace the touch.dll in OEMDRIVERS with that from MEGA OEMDRIVERS folder
HTC Album will work if you replace the files ha_skin_l.xml and ha_skin_p.xml in .........\OEM\Iolite_MEGA\0409\ExtraFilesPkg with these from manila album package(in building these from the above folder which are for iolite's album version ovewrite these from mega)
And manila should work, what doesn't work in your build?
dancer_69: What did you mean by replacing files for HTCAlbum3? I have to overwrite _ha_skin_l.xml and _ha_skin_p.xml in OEM\Iolite\0409\ExtraFilesPkg with ha_skin_l.xml and ha_skin_p.xml from MEGA package?
Yes.
In this folder are these 2 xml files from Iolite's album version. When you build the rom, some how these files overwrite these in mega's album package folder. So the rom have the old version of these files and for this the album doesn' t function right.
So, you need to replace them with the newer version.
Hi, Server222,
Please upload a ROM if you have some satisfied one.
BTW, did you make Footprint work with M2D. Footprint is the spirit of Polite, we should not leave it.
Thanks.
Wang
Sorry, but there were problems with g-light and I reverted my ROM to Iolite packages.
Another problem was - YouTube search button is inactive (maybe because this is beta).
EzInput 2 works, but I cannot choose other keyboards. There is workaround on this forum, but it still has some disadvantages.
I don't like HTC Menu as it cannot be configured to exclude some apps. (I use Finger menu).
I just can say - almost all MEGA packages released by Da_G works not only with wm6.5 but with w6.1 (build 21054)
The main hack you should do - do not include PACKAGE_MEGA_HTCScroll, it depends on wm6.5.
Add HTCScroll.dll and HTCScroll2.dll to your ROM (search this thread more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541750&highlight=scroll, for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4242024&postcount=241)
I don't want use unstable/beta software in my ROM.
(but I can help with setting up Ervius kitchen for such ROM, if someone wants to try this).

I have exactly the same opinion. I was playing with Mega packages on WM6.1 for almost three weeks, but it brings more problems that benefits. And until oficial WM6.5 is released, I will not cook WM6.5 ROM for Iolite.
In contrast, I am focusing on optimalization of last Iolite official ROM. This means removing all unneeded stuff from OEM, SYS and EXT including file editing.

That´s absolutely right! My opinion too! I find a good working old app better as a glitching new app.

I'm finishing ROM upgrade to wm6.1 build 21055.
I solved g-light issue with Mega packages.
Just want to test it more.
I'll be back this week and bring you new ROM =)
I can't wait for it, don't want wm6.5 anymore
I downloaded final Mega packages, and I'm going to continue this project.
Almost all works, even Manila2 with flipping clocks and location based weather on home screen.
Now I have 4 issues, not so important to me, but
maybe someone here can help me:
1. Manila2 has soft key "All settings" - it doesn't work in WM6.1
2. Manila2 has "Wallpaper" item on Settings tab - it allows me to restore default wallpaper, and do nothing if wallpaper is not changed (I still can change it if I go to Settings -> Today.
3. Mega Album 3 is not working - it starts wait for a second and exit.
Iolite Album 2.5 works fine
4. Mega YouTube 2.6 works, but buttons at the bottom of the screen don't work. No search, no favorites... It looks to me it can work, I saw it was working, but then I added some packages and it is broken now.
Iolite Youtube 1.6 works fine.
5. All custom words in XT9 My Words List disappear after Soft Reset...
I'm updating my last ROM, so all features as XDA_UC will be included.
I loaded official HTC Mega Russian ROM on my Iolite this weekend, tested it and ...
... And I'm back to WM6.1 21055 =)
I didn't like WM65.
Maybe I just too old and don't want new stuff (but I upgraded my PC to Win7 64-bits and it's the best OS I know for today).
Maybe WM65 build 21854 is too close to WM6.1 21055 and I should try latest releases...
OK, I'm ready to release this ROM. Latest WM6.1 + Mega Ext packages.
It's based on my last released ROM, but it includes fresh HTC GUI.
Beside new WM6.5 start menu (stupid endless scrolling of million icons) this ROM looks almost like MEGA.
I run latest Manila 2.0.1919.1432, latest Camera software, latest EzInput, latest PhoneCanvas.
So, before uploading this I want to ask what programs I can remove, and what do you think I should include into the ROM.
As for me - I don't want HTC programs at all. I use another programs.
I removed
AdobePDF_2_5_1_0_378273_04H
FOOTCAM_1_11_33557_0
Footprints_1_0_19112229_7
FootPrintsVE_1_0_18223925_0

also I removed this programs from Windows
AUTOUPDATE
Catalog
Entertainment
Office - it couldn't even search fot text...
OneNote
Transcriber
WelcomeCenter
WindowsLive
I feel fine running ROM without all this programs.
So, tell me what is important to you.
I am happy with the firmware you made last week
Anyway I agree with you on removing the above programs.
BTW, what does autoupdate do anyway, it never ever updated anything on any of my PDAs....

I decided to release first 21055 ROM with Iolite packages as them are stable and tested with our device.
At the same time I want to have "something new" and there is why I'm making this new ROM. So in case something goes wrong - we can just use first ROM.

It should be supported by OEM ROM maker. And looks like nobody wants use it.

new EzInput 2.1 issue found:
All custom words in XT9 My Words List disappear after Soft Reset.
Description: EzInput 2.1 adds my new words to My Words list and suggests them while I'm typing. I can use "XT9 My Words" program to edit this list.
But if I reset my device this list is empty again.
Who knows how to fix it?
Serfer,
Can you include a newer PIE in your ROM?
That's the only thing that I feel a little regret with your stable and fast ROM. And there's no way to upgrade PIE if not cooked into ROM.
For xt9 issue, maybe you can try older package of et9 and ezinput. Just remove the 'all settings' from the softkey since it does not work on wm61.
Tx n bst rgz.

You can also try to rename the settings.exe (Posted here)to htcSettingsEntry.exe and put it into Windows folder.

Try using dotfred's task manager to kill the tmail.exe and then install
Thread should be edited.
This is ONLY for SOME builds of WM 6.5.3 and 6.5.5
Thread Information edited, thanks for notice...
This installed okay on my Rhodium after killing Tmail.exe but I still don't have Conversation email after a soft reset. I'm running build 28232.
Will this work on 23673
23673 is without threaded email (unless you have exchange 2010). Would this cab bring it back as it was in the last 23569 version?
Worked perfect after the second time I installed. I had to make sure to delete the email accounts first, then reboot, install the cab and re add the accounts. Thanks a lot.

I killed tmail with DotFred's taskmanaber, and unzipped your files on my device's Windows folder. Once I re-start the phone, all Windows Default and wm6.5 services became disabled. I had to search for each files individually in the Windows folder and delete them before getting back the functionality of my phone.
Does any one else have another way of enableding conversaiotn emails in wm6.5.x, which is on Sprint Lovers ROM (CE OS 5.2.28232 (Build 28232.5.3.3))?
Hey all, I need to know how I can remove the Windows live app from my HTC HD2 running winmo 6.5, that I recently installed the "Maxsense Energy Rom" on. It came with the older version of Windows Live, and I would like to use the new one available 11.1, I believe, but you can not do this without removing the old version first, it will not work. So, bottom line is, How do you remove an app from windows mobile 6.5 that came in a cooked rom?
P.S.
I love this sight, I have learned alot, I am running a T-Mobile, HTC HD2 with winmo
6.5, with the Maxsense Energy Rom, as well as Android Gingerbread 2.3.
Thanks
You would need to unpack the rom into a kitchen,remove the app, rebuild then flash it again,
sadly most (all) cooked roms are protected and wont unpack into the kitchen.
so, the easiest option is ask your chef if they would kindly
a)make you one without that app
Or
b)let you have a copy of the kitchen
You can also try
c) dump the phone into .raw files with psdread, then use a kitchen to convert those back into a cookable format.(not 100% sure this works with cooked roms.)
can you not unpack the cab & manually transfer files to overwrite existing files using resco explorer or total commander !
I do not know why cooks load these type of apps in ROM, would make more sense to implement them via cabs at second boot thus allowing easy upgrade/removal as users require.

Hi,
You don't need to remove it, I installed v11 over the top of cooked in v10 yesterday and have no ill effects whatsoever. (I can use the Bing section, Hotmail integration and Messenger with no problems)
Hey thanks for all the responses, As far as installing the new live version 11,
you can install it, and the app goes on the phone, but when you open it using the new icon, it only opens the old version. They look very similar, but are not.
Check your version, and make sure it's 11, and not 10.7. Or... I am having a different issue than you are??? Either way, I think I will live with the old version for now, if I need to "Re-cook" The rom in order to just upgrade an app that does work. Thanks guys!!!
