I can't seem to find any information about this anywhere. What do extension roms do? add apps and features?
probably you mean Extended ROMs? See the sticky posts and the Hermes wiki...
yes I mean extended roms. I looked at the page again and still don't see any explanation of what extend roms do just a list of the vague filenames contained within them

After my first successful ROM reconstruction for Trinity I now know that both the Hermes_HowtoDumpRom and Hermes_HowtoReconstruct artical in wiki apply to Trinity as well.
Now I want to add my experiences on Trinity and the fact that it works on Trinity as well. Which of the following options do you suggest:
- have shared Howto for Hermes and Trinity Hermes_Trinity_HowtoReconstruct
- have a seperate Howto for each (Hermes_HowtoReconstruct, Trinity_HowtoReconstruct) and write changes twice
- other suggestions
I'll post this for discussion in Trinity section as well (hope that's allowed)
Just Point The Link From The Trinty Wiki At The Hermes Pages, And Change The Headers To Say For Hermes And Trinity. Easy
Cheers
There are many things that are equal in hermes and trinity, and some other things that are different.
I would suggest to use two different wiki page for Hermes / Trinity stuff... and if something is already on the hermes wiki, just create for example "Trinity_HowtoReconstruct" page with this content:
Code:
Same instructions on hermes apply for the trinity: [Hermes_HowtoReconstruct]
If there are some differences for trinity, you can add them in the trinity specific page.
Other solution is to directly link the Hermes page on the trinity main wiki page and put a small note saying that this is hermes stuff but works on trinity as well... as I see this is what you've already done and avoids maintaining duplicated content.
1. How can WM roms be distributed? Win2K and other OS cannot be redistributed in this fashion.
2. How might a 3rd party rom conflict with or omit information required by carrier (Cingular, etc.).
3. What are the basic pieces/components in flashing and how do they relate to each other.
A link to a page I perhaps haven't found will be fine, thanks.
I have upgraded my phone to new AT&T roms and am wondering how much new/needed functionality I'll get from a custom ROM. A link or info on most compelling features from new roms w/be nice.
I have burned ROMs for embedded devices (modbus), various ipaqs and routers (wrt54gl/dd-wrt) but need more info before proceeding with flash of my phone.

1. There is a thread running describing everyones opinion on this. Search for "legal ROM" in hermes section
2. read wiki - Hermes for Beginners, search for "ext rom".
3. read wiki
if you post another thread like this and someone says "rtfw", that means "read the f*king wiki". I would suggest you start there. Click on the link in my signature.
Good Luck, and make sure you do LOTS of reading before you start to flash.
1. Forum search on wm6 pirated (or find the thread in the WM6 subforum). Good dialog on that issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307479
2. Check the WM6 forum for the Custel Cingular thread (for example) and search for wpbear cingular. Good info.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307525
3. Read the wiki for Hermes - talks about the bits and pieces.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Sorry I don't have time to link all the threads for you atm.
edit: nm - grabbed the links - thanks for doing some reading before you asked.
With the experience the Charmer WM6 developers have already gained would it be possible to create base roms that we can play with ourselves along with a user guide?
I quite like the idea of being able to add my own packages within a ROM but don't know where to start.
I have seen on the Wizard forum a list of available packages that can be used within the various kitchens and assume that these would be compatible with the Charmer
Thanks

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.
Attention all rom authors:
Dell Streak Custom Rom List - XDA Wiki
I attempt to keep it as up to date as possible, but as I dont download every single rom I can only work off of what's written in the postings.
Please try and keep your own personal roms up to date,
Correct method of doing so:
Make a new entry to place your rom in, use any of the other ones as a template
Do not delete/overwrite old entries, always make a new one
Date format is always in Month-Day-Year since that's how I had originally organized them (and for no other reason)
If you're really unsure how, you can reply to this thread and i'll add it in if i havnt already
Base rom is exactly that, if it's based on SD, list that it is, and which one.
If there's an error or omission feel free to fix it, but preferably only for your own roms unless you're 100% sure that there's a mistake in someone else's rom
If there are multiple versions, only list the primary one, minor varients should remain on the forum post
If a link is broken and not expected to be fixed, go ahead and remove the link
Do not add guides or other links to it, it should only contain info on the rom itself and download links
Thanks for the reminder. I will modify the Wiki page for any of my further releases. I wasn't aware I could add to it.
It's a wiki, anyone with a forum account can use it (they use the same login info)
I'll be keeping an eye on it regardless of who adds to it (for accuracy and formatting),
But it helps everyone if the rom authors add it themselves first, I dont add things immediately, it could be up to a day or 3 late
Lol, I when I checked the title of this post I had to do a double take. I first saw "Add your *mom* to the wiki list" I was like... Nice....
nvm
