A proposal to all the ROM-Developers - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development

Hi guys,
We all can feel that ROM-Developers r growing day-by-day and getting more and more powerful with every single release. Since O2 is not going to give a damm about the huge effort and time of the developers, why don't we make our developments more streamlined which can be more helpful to all of us.
Firstly, what we see now is different developers are releasing ROM with different CE versions individually with some more or less tweaks which makes a confusion which one to use?
Secondly, different developers are releasing ROM with different softwares included (Ex - touchflo, srswowhd etc.) which make things really really confusing to choose.
My proposal is why don't we do things more like a project and developers can work all together so that everyone can contribute, share new ideas, implement all tweaks etc.
What we can do is:
1. We can take the latest CE version and make it ready for ATOM with clean build. No third party apps, no nothing...
2. Then we build apps in a modular way which wil have installable .cab or .exe file which should be users choice to use or not.
3. We can continue bug fixing untill a new CE release.
4. With new CE release a new project can be lunched.
Now all these are my personal feelings. I don't want to hurt any developers feelings. What i believe is unity is strength...
Regards

i agree with you bro..we must solve A2DP and MORE MEMORY enhancement..
thats the first thing to do..
guys lets join force our talent..for better future..

by modular, we release it in a kitchen style, so users can incorporate the apps that they want to personally use. the space within the ROM is a waste if we will just install the cabs on a base ROM.

Building Rom shows the builder's talence (I thought) so we should do it independently, but we can share the others our experience to make a better ROM for Atom.
Once I shared here my kitchen, but it seems that ppl dislike it or see it useless, so I've removed it away.

thanks to u all for kind opinion.
u r the life to ATOM. if u feel more comfortable to work alone then its ok. but still do u think it will be better to follow some rules for the community?
1. ROM builds should be clean with default OEM apps. every one can download 3rd party apps. is there any point to take someone's clean build adding some 3rd party apps and release?
2. one developer or one group should work on a CE version on a thread? all ideas + tweaks + beta testing should go to that thread?
3. all developers should share their expertise. new ideas + tweaks for same CE should be included in next release in same thread (no new ROM release thread)?
once again, all these r my personal feelings. i'm sorry if i hurt any one.
so to all developers and users what do u say? i need ur opinion...
regards.

Well, who like rules? haha
1. Our ATOM hav limited space, So by max out the ROM space we can install more things. And the very reason why we cook our ROM is so that our ATOM is personalized everytime even we hardreset.
2. Im sure all developers here are very willingly to share their ideas + tweaks. The things is not at a thread here. I do learned alot from others here thru MSN and friendster. U wont wan a group discussion whenever u ask a question or tell an idea when u hav to browse thru many ignorant posts right?
3. Having WM6 on ATOM is already AMAZING. GARMIN, Homer and others are still upgrading the OS version whenever theres one. Tweaks are found all around these forum, some good for you, some not good for others. Just like OEM packages, some like some dont. But the ideas of having a thread for tweaks is good, tho WIKI already hav some
No worries your ideas wont hurt anyone

I think it is better to give them some commendation or appreciation for their hardwork in cooking ROM instead of making an statement like that. They are trying to cook ROM for some many reasons like freeing of memory, making our device more faster, and to be desirable or let say more functional and operational for all us users.
We all know that "all cooked ROM" is not "Official ROM". Thery are all modified base on the original ROM release by the Manufacturer/Distributor.
Anyway, if you have some suggestion like on what you said above, for sure they will consider that in the next version of ROM they will cooked. But if you can cook and share you own version of ROM that would be better, you can do cook your own ROM and it will be appreciated if you can share to all of us.
cheers...

hmm..
so much nonsense by him again I see. If I remember correctly
T2M and Medkid did a great job of rejuvinating the dear Atom Life ROM scene which was dead and gone.
So use and appreciate it cook your own. Try cooking and tell me how 'EASY' it was, instead of giving baseless, nonsense ideas.
indianram,
please cook one your own, and we will evaluate it.

i'm with you on that m8....
i soo understand that fact.... the ROM scene for Atom life has always been soo grim and ppl like our respected thread initiator who has an opinion more than an expected appreciation to our esteemed "ROM cookers" (though i dont like that term personally) ppl need to understand that they must NOT begin threads for this reason and can very well leave their comments as posts....
i would like to thank both @medkid and @TranMinhMan for their gr8 ROMS which i have enjoyed using on my atom life

indianram,
I think it is better if you will cook your own ROM and do what you want in your ROM. And if you can share with us, it will be sure appreciated. All users will evaluate it and give you their comments. Lets see what you've got.

BEST ROM till now
Hey dude's this is the best ROM till now i have used/ flashed....
i think i'm the first person replied to PDAVIET ROM WM 6.1 CE OS 5.2.20753 Build 20753.1.4.0 for Atom Life thread....from the day i have flashed, till now i did not faced any problem with my Atom Life...its works fine even my battery 10% yesterday it was working fine till 1%...its been one and half year i'm using Atom Life...its used to shut down between 30-20 % of battery...
we should appreciate the COOK...great job dude...we are waiting for more more new ROM's from you guys....
Please encourage COOK...don't flash if you don't like the ROM...if u need some thing specific try to request for the same....
thanks guy....
So sad here!
Thank you so much for everyone support my friend (T2M) from PDAVIET.
The way to evaluate of somebody here is not good for our work.
That's why my friend and I never post again our rom to xda-developers (where I studied and built the ROM for Himalaya, Atom). At box Himalaya of xda-developers, I'm used to evaluate such. So sad!
Each build will have some different fault, we have to attempt to adjust and revise everything to be suitable.
We need you have evaluation for improving for next build. That's why we post the rom in order to share everybody.
The way indianram evaluated about T2M's ROM, I don't like. The Vietnamese tradition is so. In fact, also we don't force anybody to use our rom.
If you want please come to PDAVIET.
Thank you

Hi everyone! Long time no see
I've been very busy with my life, so i can't visit this wonderful forum for a long time! I miss you guys so much
Now when i have some more time, I can continue my last work, the missing function of our devices, something new for you:
1- I may make some ROMs for you by your request, so if you like, just tell me what you need, which kind you like, clean, manila, or something else... (ofcourse i can't make 1 ROM for 1 person )
2- You won't be sad anymore when seeing someone update his ROM in Windows Vista (other devices). Yes, i wanna say that i've patched our tool to work in Vista as well (G3 and G4 too).
I'll give you more info in few days!

Wow !!!

Maybe one clean M2D Rom

welcome back Cloudyfa, for me you may do the version that you like more, but I still prefer the clean one's.
welcome back, your Rooms make the difference.

CloudyFa!!!
CloudyFa, one of the best developers here, welcome back to your family!!!
I prefer the Manila style clean (without M2D, cause it take many RAM and ROM), with simple HTC dialer as this suit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430957), PLEASE!!!
I see the most prefer clean one but please let it be (UC)​

maybe. In other colour will be better
I mean, the way you wrote
Red colour is not good for eyes.
Or yotta dialer is a good one too
Yota Dialer
Cloudyfa is involed in this Program too.
But it takes really much storage. But with that one. It's really perfect.
M2D is a good one.
And I would like to have it. If Cloudyfa make a new ROM for us.
My Request for ROM from Cloudyfa.
A rom with,
[*]M2D of course
[*]Yota Dialer (Also Yota Contact too) . This Application are AWESOME. Birthday Section for qvga need remaping.
[*]Some Important Program (winrar,advanced config,PIM Backup,Winstorage)
[*]Of course his WPA2 Support
Cloudyfa, we can save some storage by pack it in ExtRom.( you know it already anyway)
Thanks MASTER
oh my God
finally the golden days are back.
believe it or not, there's a smile on my face right now !
anyway
about the rom in my opinion i prefer :
a clean stable rom
with newest build . because i love to see my rom build number is the latest. it makes me happy inside even if the older rom is better or more stable , but i like to see the latest number on my device.
with all the features like a2dp , wpa2 , UC , ....
latest htc default softwares like network wizard , sim manager , ....
latest smart dial : the one with slide to answer or slide to hang up was so nice
nice harmonic one color graphic in all programs ( i prefer the original blue )
and the most important : no today big plugin like htc home or m2d or anything else.
it's better to be optional , for example in a cab for anyone who is interested.
because some guys like me don't use them. i use all the spb programs.
another thing : the rom does not need to be full of programs like winrar and acrobat and ....
instead of that you can introduce the best cab for them, like best compatible one note or best acrobat ...
but it is good to see some usefull programs like advanced config or hibernate or quick menu or wktask or homescreen++ or wm5torage and others...
because almost all of us use these tools. although you can make them optional too.
(give the best and latest and most compatible cab for them )
you can introduce the best working microsoft voice command
or best opera browser
anyway my whole point here is that you present the cleanest rom you can and then every one can make it the way he likes for himself
i can't remember anything else for now but sorry for the long speech.
despite all of the above things i said, i will surely use any type of rom you make.
once again thank you for the past things you made for us
thanks for now that you have come back
and thanks for the new roms that hopefully you'll give us soon in the future )
Great news.....
so.. I can be the copy-cat again...

[REQ] To Chefs:: Providing an option to choose application to install while flashing

To All Chef,
During flashing the ROM, when the customization job runs, is it possible to provide the list of application's that come along with the ROM and let the user choose the set of application he wants?
Also, if possible, the job can even delete the cab files of the application which are not choosen by the user. This will save ROM space i guess. I am not a developer, so i am suggestion instead of do something about it, sorry.
Thanks.
I'm not exactly a chef, but I'll respond anyway
For your first question, yes, that is possible, as long as someone develops an app to do that. Hell, I could develop it if there's enough demand.
As for deleting CABs that weren't installed, that is unfortunately not possible because they are already part of the ROM.
Yes it is available. You are talking about the Rom Kitchens available in this forum. Just take a look in the rom kitchen posts then you'll know what I'm talking about. Here are two that currently has the lastest aGPS fix. At0mAng and Da_G's Kitchen and the corresponding packages. The kitchen allows you to pick what you want in your rom, it is very easy to use and you should no doubt give it a try.

Thats actual ROM cooking. But i was mentioning about the 'customization' program that runs right after you flash your ROM. If we have an option setup in that program to choose application before it installs, that would nice from users perspective. Just a thought. I am sure everyone will like it.

I am glad to hear that you could develop. (I dont have that skills). If you develop, we can probably let all the Chef know to use it, if they want.

Reading through this thread I knew it was only a matter of time until I found the post with that link
I liked that app but never really used it. Always seemed like too much of an extra step on first boot. Not to mention, some cabs require user input to install and would freeze the device temporarily requiring a soft-reset once it tries to install them.

That would be one cool ass app!
I was thinking of something like this as an xml file. Can it be done with XML? I don't know XML that well but I think it might be able to.
Can you be more specific as to what you were thinking with XML?
I wrote a simple Mortscript that generates a SDConfig.txt based on what files exist in a specific cab folder...
Simpest solution is what many chefs do: Lite and Loaded ROMs
SDconfig in the apps you want to a lite ROM or uninstall the ones you do not from a loaded ROM...
or you could always cook your own custom ROM

I'm guessing the device is not actually frozen. Generally, during customization screen input is locked to prevent the user from interfering with customization.
The device will appear to be frozen because the buttons and screen do not respond. If you were to call your phone you would see that the call comes through, but you can't answer because the buttons are locked out (trust me, a few times my wife has called my cell while I was testing ROMs and a few times she called right when it was doing customization).
You would need to unlock the screen input before running the cab to ensure the user can enter data.
example config.txt
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
TSK: \WINDOWS\Guava Bubbles.tsk
LOCK:Disabled
CAB: \WINDOWS\Microsoft_Sounds.cab
LOCK:Enabled
CFG: \WINDOWS\config_PT.txt
I get the impression that the real goal of this is to prevent the installation of a few items that the rom chef likes but others don't. For example, I personally find no use in SecondToday, but a few chefs include it with their roms.
I think that this would be a non-issue if most applications were uninstallable after setup...at least the apps that tend to be upgraded frequently (Opera, TomTom) and the ones only popular with a few users (SecondToday, TouchResponse).
The argument is "just cook your own or use a different one", but that doesn't really answer many people for whom one rom is nearly perfect, but there's just a little tweak or two to the installed apps that would make it perfect.
I'm not sure this really needs another app or any extra steps in the install process. Not when this would slow down usage for many people, and only really benefit a small percentage

[Kitchen] Online Kitchen for Nexus One

This is a simple kitchen for Nexus One. You can choose a base rom, add and remove apps from it. I am working on adding more customization options like kernels, languages, boot animations etc.
http://feeder.pk/
Special thanks to flybyme, APrinceAmongMen, HNH992 and l1nuxfre4k.
Make apps/roms request to chowdarygm.
Please help me pay server rent for this kitchen. Donate link is on site.
UPDATES:
- Added feature to remove apps from rom
- Added support for kang-o-rama service packs
- Aded support for languages
- Added boot screen customization
oh **** thanks! def gonna check this out
wow that looks really nice!
Should be able to change the build number to IMO . Also some things as ADW Launcher instead of Launcher Pro should be there since ADW is open source not the other.
tell me the apps you want and i'll add them
Very nice! you got it up and running in no time...
Languages is something I'm definitely interested in, especially a good Right-To-Left fix.
Thanks. Testing it out.
I always wants a bare minimal rom with speed but little other things

This is a very awesome idea, so don't take this the wrong way but...
Isn't this perfectly achievable simply by downloading the base ROM, opening the zip file, deleting/adding the apps you don't want/want, moving the boot animation from one ROM zip to another and signing it with the available script here on XDA?
Not to mention kernels/radios have to be flashed separate anyways so they can easily be downloaded from the site here.
Maybe when all those options are available and I try all of it with the kitchen to see the end results it might make more sense, but as of right now I just don't understand.
(PS- Maybe its just because I understand the process more now...because when I first joined XDA, I book marked your thread as soon as you opened it and I thought it was the coolest idea; that I didn't understand what it was for lol; ever.)
this is sweet! thank you guys!
love it , will follow your work as it evolves.
I am in process of adding languages to the kitchen, please provide me with a link of your languages to include it in.
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is so cool, thank you million times! I finished my rom cooking and I'll flash!!
This is a great idea. Thanks for putting it together. And it works great!
UPDATE: now you can select language packs to install in a rom
edit: removed temporarily cause of a bug
Warned once, reopened
UPDATE: now you can remove apps already installed on the rom.

Of The People, By The People

my time with the gene is heading towards its end and i'd like to go out with a bang!!
i created this thread to give something back to this wonderful community for all the help and guidance that has been offered to me so far
i've kept the next post as sort of a checklist for new (and experienced) chefs for the stuff that they should include in their ROMs and also a list of things that our users request (based on popularity)
i'll also try and provide little descriptions wherever possible
so i'd like all those here to write down the features/apps/requests/tweaks whatever it is that you have used in your previous/current ROMS that you've liked
i'll go through the posts and add newer items into the list as time goes on
this will serve as a good place for the senior chefs here to contribute bits of their knowledge and as a quick reference index for new or aspiring chefs for things they should be considering while making their own ROMs
so here's a list of things a cook oughta look up while making a ROM
i've grouped the things up into separate catgories like
1] OEM
this group requires comparatively less editing on the chef's part so i figured it best to get it out of the way first
i - the initflashfiles.dat files can be edited to make changes in the default directory locations, file names and shortcut links
ii - i remember having changed the CameraDriver.dll module while trying to get my camera working, so chefs may want to look around for that one
iii - same goes for the sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll, some of the older SYS builds need these modules to be patched else the sd card is not detected by the phone
iv - for those adding their own CABs or any other files for customization on first boot should make sure that their Config.txt file is edited as per their needs
kitchen crashes sometimes set the contents of this file to default thereby voiding the changes made by the chef
v - edit the mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml to add in custom ROM name and date
2] SYS
i - firstly go through all the packages and remove unnecessary items to save some important space on our little GENES
look here for more info
ii - feel free to customize the graphics files in the dpi and dpi res folders
nothing says custom ROM more than custom graphics
iii - for more advance users, you can edit the graphics within the .DLL files in some of the files in the SYS folder
modules may also be recmodded to flat .DLL files to edit and then reversemodded to modules again
iv - various system files can be recmodded to reduce the number of modules in slot 0
here's the reason why
i'll place a link up when i find it
v - some of the files can be replaced to improve the functionality
3] EXT
here's another place for some really deep customization for the chef
instead of writing down every single software package that is available i'm making a list of the must-have softwares that work well on our devices
i'll be starting off with a list of my preferred apps and i'll be adding more apps as the user suggestions come in
i - a registry editing software like PHMRegistry
ii - PPCPimBackup
iii - S2P 0.83 by far the best FREE music player around
you could alternatively use older version like the 0.58 version which had the cover flow feature and a different method of creating the playlist
iv - XDA_UC, simply because it reduces the workload on the user post flash/hard reset and pitches in great for when the chef wants some post-boot customizations to be carried out
v - pocketnester, NES ROMs may not be everyone's cup of tea but it sure as hell provides some endless time-wasting fun
reserved...just in case
Lets work on overclocking our CPU.currently iv been using "omap" to overclock my device to 240Mhz.
Worst part is,just as the device goes to sleep mode,or a manual shut down/restart,the clock speed reduces back to the default 186Mhz.
We either need to edit the Omap executable file or write some code to make it work continuous till the device is active.
If we succeed in this, we'll have ROMs rolled out with default 240Mhz clocking speed as a gift to Gene n the Gene users.
n r u shiftin to a newer device ? which one r u gonnu buy.do let us know.i'll probably shifting to Samsung Galaxy S2. dont wannu wait for the HtC Pyramid.i want the Super AmoLED plus screen in my hands.
I'll need shtdown animation.For overclocking pocket hack master is best(If you have money to purchase it!!!!).
To Karan999:Why don't you switching to HTC HD 2? Plz tell me bcoz i'm also going to buy HD 2 next week.

open my windows 6.1 ROM thread and scroll down to Post 9#.
PsshutXP
Ya man but it will work with psshutxp but i'm using shutxp not psshutxp (i don't know if there is any difference or not),but it replaces poweroffwarning.exe from windows folder.HTC Animation uses poweroffwarning.exe from PACKAGE_POWEROFFWARNING.I want someone to edit this exe to make it working for HTC Animation
To psychocyst:HTC sense feel on GENE will be expected.I knows that it's impossible to use it on GENE but any other UI that looks like Sense UI
Hi Karan,
Use Omap-264. This has all the advantages u require. It will keep in 264 even after softreset; It will keep in 264 even after power on.

overclocking to 264 may be dangerous.It can harm the device.Overclocking to 20% is safe but here it is around 31%.Can we change it?

Below 264 is fine. Want to change the clock lower? run omap_OverClock from the startmenu/programs folder. I run it at 216 MHz always. No problem.

Overclocking is always dangerous. what about the battery life ?? overclocking drains battery faster.

Yes. Overclocking is always dangerous. But if u use it judiciously it works wonders. I have not seen any appreciable drain in battery life. I used to get almost 2 days previously. now also i am getting the same amount. May be a couple of hours less. It increases the ram speed correspondingly.
thanks for the heads-up...i'll give it a go and check out the results and post them up
Incoming calls not being displayed
I'm new to this flashing rom and stuff like this, but with ALL my help from this site(thanks to everybody) I had successfully upgraded my rom to Karanz_ULTIMATE v7.12 on my new gene.
But coming to the main point, the MAIN reason for flashing my rom was that i had issues with my stock rom of incoming calls not being displayed(although the ring could be heard to the call on the other end) occasionally. This issue had landed me into some HUGE trouble which scares the crap out of me even today. After a few days of using this newly installed rom the issue surfaced again and now I'm afraid to use this phone any more.
I know for sure there are great GODS in this forum who can solve issues like these in a breeze, so I humbly submit my heartfelt request to please advise a solution. ANYBODY PLEASE for God's sake help me out. PLEASE...
Additional information about my Phone:
onbl 1.17.0000
spl 1.07.0ref
gsm 02.79.90
os 1.17.0.0
Any more info anybody needs, I shall give(provided you tell me where to find it).
