Bell HTC6800 ROM - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

I am looking for a new ROM for my HTC6800.
Have any Bell users flashed their phone with a new ROM?
Which one was it? Any issues?
I love as many bells and whistles as possible!!!
Koilman....

I'm with Bell Mobility and I'm currently running CUSTEL's rom on my HTC6800. I was running DCD's 1.6.9 kitchen for a while, but I just go a new bluetooth headset, and the DCD rom kept freezing my phone. So far, very happy with CUSTEL. Tho it's just a bare OS, not fancy stuff, but lightning fast.
Cheers,
Tom

Bell HTC6800
I just finished unlocking, using dcd's kitchen software for creating a ROM and even figured out how to add "Optional_HTC_Home_2_0_814_722" to the OEM folder.
It works perfectly with Bell!!!!
Thank you to all who have made this possible.

What sms app do these kitchens use...is it threaded??? i want the old [email protected] threaded sms back!!!

My custom telus os and extended rom

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Feb 3 update
http://rapidshare.com/files/88929555/RUU_signed.zip.html
I cooked this for myself, because with other roms i was missing voicemail notifications. I am using it right now and seems like its very good and stable. So i would like to share it with the community.
It includes most of the telus customizations ( yes its has ugly purple windows theme too)
scroll down for the link
Details:
Base Rom Version is : 3.15.651.0
CE OS 5.2.1622 ( Build 18128.0.4.4)
GPS registry settings are taken from dcd's 2.0 Sprint beta
It includes most of the stock stuff eg. windows live, office etc.
third party packages included are
Cloudyfa EsmertecJbed java.
Opera mini and Gmail midlets with proper shortcuts and no data access warnings, so be warned they wont ask you when it will acess data.
Finger friendly friends
Task manager
VistaHide battery Gauge
At first boot when telus customization run ppst.exe takes little longer, its makes you feel like its frozen, so be patient.
Comments and suggestions other than my bad english will be apreciated.
Edit:
extended rom has the followings
Signed_NAMLOCK.CAB
PP_PIE.sa.CAB
PP_WelcomeMessage_1.3.sa.CAB
WelcomeMessage.exe
MP_CVSDcpl_20070129.cab
signed_070319_7500_Telus.sa.CAB

DefaultRingtone.sa.CAB
WM5DST_signed.cab

EDIT : jan 31 update
removed rltoday
Added : htc gps tool, 10 buttom comm manager, task manager and x buttom
Fixed : phone setting save bug
If not pre packaged in an executable, how do we install it?
attached is the rom update utility.
extract this and then put the ruu_signed.nbh file from original post in this folder.
then run ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
Thanks for the advice. I had already figured it out though.
I do have to say, this is one amazing ROM for us Telus users. I love the default Telus phone dialer with the colours etc, the EV icon shows up normally, GPS works, Phone programmed itself easily, I just had to switch back to the HTC default black theme and get rid of the RL today plugin you had. I preffer the HTC home plugin myself but that was easily switchable.
Two thumbs up.
The mobile speed is through the roof! It acts just like it should, just like the stock Telus one! Except I have GPS now and the updated radios working like they should or so it appears. It's so fast!
Do you have to update the radio and and unlock rom?

It looks like an OS only update. I'm going to give this a try for the heck of it.
just make sure you have the current unlocker installed and current radio.
Thankz a1jatt for the Telus rom !
I used the current unlocker, and I also updated to the latest radio.
A1jatt, Can you integrate Windows Mobile 6.1 into the rom? I'd love that.
^^ i think that will be too buggy right now.
btw i have made some changes today
I'm flashing it now. The changes sound nice.
What was with the 300xz breakdown image? I want the Telus startup image. How can I fix that?
Not a fan of pocketzenphone, either. I'd like the ones that comes with Telus.
I think you should keep a Telus rom as stock looking as possible, with the upgurades that you've included except for the Today changes. That should look stock, otherwise the user can easily change it themselves. Especially the Telus loading screen which is now a car.
just a question
so to use your custom rom do i have to use the unlock app then add your rom then the radio app also? or is this an all in one rom? yes im a noob lol
Use the unlocker if you haven't been unlocked yet.
Then boot the boot loader etc by pressing soft power, camera, and the hard reset on the bottom of the phone at the same time.
Once you're in that mode, go to activesync, click on file, connection settings, and uncheck usb while you flash the phone.
His latest download just requires that you double click on romupdateutility.exe and follow the prompts. Then do the radio update and let your phone boot.
I also noticed the camera feature is missing. The shortcut is missing or not working, and when I try to launch it, I get nothing. I tried to take a pic and voila.. fantastic.
hmmm
so is it worth this rom update or will i loose my camera feature?
The camera feature is nowhere to be found. I'm getting rid of the rom until this is fixed, and if possible, the things I suggested before. I'll have to cook my own rom some time.
hmmm
damn phone keeps rebooting again????? after installing rom and files? seems to happen as soon as i remove it from the usb connection?
I'm not sure what you did, but reflash it.
I have dcd's telus rom and have been using windows mobile phones ever since the samsung i700. His rom is the smoothest rom I have ever had so far. Keeping in mind it has only been 5 day's. Camera works and the only bug I have found since Sunday, the day I flashed, is the issue with the EV icon and voice mail icon. It's quick, smooth and hasn't locked once.
I'm not posting this to make light of this thread by any means. I appreciate and support anyone that produces rom's. Especially rom's that cater to specific carriers (Telus for me)! I only share this info in regards to my personal experience. The more options, the better it is for everyone. Please continue the great work!
same crap
anyone in hamilton that can do this for me??
If DCD had fixed the EV icon and the voicemail, I would switch to his.

Custom ROM?

Maybe I'm asking for too much here... but I just cant figure out how to cook my own ROM. I've read and read and tried and tried. Its just beyond me for some reason.
I would be forever grateful if someone could take DCD's 2.3.1 ROM for Verizon, add in no2chem's nueAUDIO and nueLED, add the OEM Cyberon Voice Dialer...
and make me a perfect ROM for my Verizon XV6800. That would be my perfect ROM.
I guess I want the "best of both worlds".... the freem RAM DCD's ROM offers, with the few cool features no2chem has incorporated.
Anyone? PLease?
I'm not understanding the obsession of adding as much as possible into ROMs... Possibly I am missing something here, but I thought that the only advantage is to not have to individually install each app upon a cooked ROM?
With the above, it's only a concern over 3 items. Is there truly a dire need to have them within a ROM rather than take the few minutes to install each of them?
Especially with evolving utilities such as nueLED is it not best to separately install its CAB version and then have the ability to remove and upgrade it without the bother of making up and installing an entirely new ROM????
Sorry, just my thoughts..

Lets figure out that annoying call waiting sound.

Everyone has a different story, or a different item that has triggered that call waiting sound. But it's a minority of people that seem to have it.
I'd like to use this thread to simply have everyone who does have that sound to state, when they got it.. and what applications they had installed... maybe we can determine what combination of items causes it.
Please help if you have that sound and want to get to the bottom of it.
(dont bother with random suggestions on how to fix.. I just want to keep a clean thread to see if we can gather info to see if we have anything in common)
I personally had DCD 3.2.5 / Radio 3.42.02
I upgraded my radio to 3.42.50 and it started.

Here is what I have gone through
OK. I was on DCD 3.1.6 and it was my favorite!!! I hated to leave that version. I had radio 3.42.30 (from the vogue). I had no call waiting sound issues whatsoever.
I got my friend to purchase a TITAN and I was showing him how to cook his phone using DCD's kitchen. He had his phone for 2 months and we hadn't cooked. We started on 3.2.2. Note, he was on the stock radio, 3.42.02. We didn't upgrade his radio. We then cooked his phone with DCD 3.2.2. The OEMS we added were:
Google Maps (From PPCKitchen oem)
Games (Chess, Freecell, Galaga, Hearts, Kevtris, Ms PacMan) (From PPCKitchen)
Sprint TV (From PPCKitchen oem)
YouTube Player (From PPCKitchen oem)
The items below are the ones we selected that were built into DCD's kitchen:
Adobe
Entertainment
Voice Command
Startup Animation
HTC Vogue PhoneCanvas
After cooking both of our phones, we both started receiving this sound during call waiting. I then upgraded my Radio to 3.42.50. I still had the sound.
So I thought it was DCD 3.2.2. I then upgraded to 3.2.5. I still had the sound.
I then downgraded my radio to 3.42.40. I still had the sound.
After that, last weekend, I then used the PPCKitchen version 20270 to try cooking it to see if it removed the annoying sound. I still got the sound again.
So at that point today, I just put the 3.56 Stock ROM on my phone to reset the radio, etc. I then used DCD's 3.2.5 kitchen with my same OEM's. The only difference is that I put the phonecanvas.dll file from DCD 3.1.6 in the HTC Vogue PhoneCanvas (OEM_HTC_PhoneCanvas_1_0_31335_0). He mentioned in another thread. I love DCD's work! His kitchens are awesome!
So I am currently at Radio: 3.42.02 and DCD 3.2.5 (using the phonecanvas.dll from DCD 3.1.6).
I am hoping this fixes the problem.
Things to note:
* When I cooked with DCD 3.2.2 and the PPCKitchen 20270. I got the annoying sound.
* People have it using every radio from 3.42.02 to 3.42.50. (Which makes me think it's not a radio issue)
Is ts the CE OS Build of Windows? Or is it the PhoneCanvas people keep mentioning?
Something else?
I will update everyone with how it goes.
I thought someone already had said that it was the Dialer/PhoneCanvas causing this problem?
Either way, I am, like so many others, interested in the solution for this. With the help of someone else, I may spend an evening and figure this out for sure.
The first thing that needs to be done is to see if it acts differently bad on how the call is (you calling out first vs you getting a call) before getting another call. I imagine that this factor shouldn't affect it happening, but taking a scientific approach, it should be evaluated.
Next, make sure you can reproduce it every time. If not, there must be other (hidden?) circumstances.
I could sit here and elaborate on how to narrow this down, but it would take longer than anyone would care to hear. Just be scientific and intellectual about trying to find it, and you should be able to for sure.
Well, my 2 cents? Had it with 3.42.50 and 3.42.40 (downgraded) on the 20270 kitchen. A couple of days ago, I cooked with dcd 3.2.5 kitchen and its gone. I chose NO dialer skin as I prefer the standard dialer. (i like the contacts being right there along with the "smart" dialing. Any excuse to use the scroll wheel is good enough for me )
you can stop the sound from playing all together. in a registry editor, go to HKCU->ControlPanel->SoundsCategories->Sounds and delete the CallWaiting key. this will stop any sounds from playing.
Or you could wait for 3.2.6. as dcd said it's fixed.
Hmm, so why do some people have the problem and some don't? I flashed with dcd 3.2.5 and it's gone, whereas others say they still have it. *shrugs*
I'm one that's never had the problem but at the same time I always use a specific dialer with each new upgrade. That's why I think it's a phone canvas issue.

I can say just the opposite since I NEVER use anything but the default canvas/dialer.
I first got this after flashing radio 3.42.30 and dcd 3.2.2 (same night)
I flashed to dcd 3.23, and it was still there.
I flashed to dcd 3.25, and its still there.
I re-flashed the radio, and its still there.
I Upgraded the radio to 3.42.50, its still there.
I edited my registry to not use the vogue dialer--still there.
I'm using dcd's kitchen, no OEMs added, just enterprise, entertainment, vc, and everything else as defaults.
I'm on alltel, I do use activesync with exchange, spb pocketplus, google maps, livesearch, htc gps viewer, and wififofum2.
I did NOT re-flash without the dialer--too tired of reinstalling everything.
I'm pretty sure its every call, regardless of whether its incoming or outgoing.

Does this mean they know what the issue is? I wasn't aware of that.. I thought a handfull of people had the issue and the cause was still unknown?
Updated to DCD 3.2.6.. Installed all apps.. No more Call waiting sound!!!
Same as x51. I flashed 3.2.6 and the fall out noise is gone! WOOT
ppc 6800
alltel
3.42.50

i would guess that you would need to open the dll's in the phonecanvas package using resource hacker and modify them before cooking your rom (or make a cab)

[Q] Most Stable WM6.5

I am going on a trip to Spain for a month and I am using the WM 6.5 mystic series ROM and although slightly more stable than my last ROM it still crashes a lot while texting.
What is the most stable WM 6.5 ROM and if there isn't should I just go with WM 6.1 ROM?
What is the most stable WM 6.5 ROM and if there isn't should I just go with WM 6.1 ROM?[/QUOTE]
All the 6.5 ROMs are unofficial and not fully complete. They're running fast and smooth, but there can always be some specific issues, especially with some games. As far as I know the most stable is the latest build you can get from Da_G, and the whole rest are build with his kitchen.
I use 6.5 ROMs for quite a long time with no major problems.
anything from nrg 6-13 3.0 rom has been great. Fast stable and reliable
Sheps ROM is very stable with everyday basic use. But don't try any game emulators or rely on the windows lock, as I noticed it was a bit slow. He is also using the WVGA youtube (seriously, I don't know why ROM cookers can't just use the VGA one, it's the same exact thing but for VGA!) and the ROM is also using the older htc album application. Titanium seems to be ignored by Shep and only the basic widgets work, such as email, phone notifications, text, time, pictures and calender etc. Other than that it worked very well with the 1.14.25.05 radio, at least where I live for calls, texts, GPS, and email.
Other than that I haven't really found any super-stable 6.5 ROMs if you want EVERYTHING to work such as all the WM programs and today-screens. But for the basics of a smartphone, I would vouch for sheps rom.
I don't know, everyone just seems to be having great experiences with their WM 6.5 ROMs.
Is there something I'm doing wrong because all of the ROMs I have tried have incredibly buggy sms messaging.
why has no one realized yet that these questions don't belong in the ROM section and should be in the Raphael general discussion thread?
i had to go back to 6.1, I love the look and feel of 6.5 but battery life was getting worse and pandora would time out after 1 or 3 songs... :0( I will go back to 6.5 when pandora works as well as with 6.1
I have never heard of a pandora issue with 6.5, which ROM were you using and did you try setting your internet to not disconnect after X seconds/minutes? Just trying to help, because IMO 6.5 is leaps and bounds way ahead of 6.1 in terms of usability, functions are mainly the same, but I could never go back to 6.1 and I've been using 6.5 since January when Da_G first released his leaked build.
I don't know what SMS problem you're referring to, but I have major issues with hardware keyboard lag on every single 6.5 rom I've ever tested. The one rom that did "okay" was the special stripped Image Update test rom Da_G came out with a week or so ago. It had no camera and was missing several other modules for testing purposes, but miraculously it was the most stable 6.5 I've ever used.
I've flashed regularly since Da_G started his 6.5 rom kitchen thread, so I've seen every build. The one way to circumvent any issues would be to use TF3D2's built-in SMS (which is flawless, except for the tapping the text box AFTER you slide out the keyboard) or use something like Vito SMS Chat, or other third party sms program. They all seem to have 0 to no lag whatsoever and are relatively stable. I think the problem lies in WM6.5's pocket outlook backend.
I use this ROM it's rather stable:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528217
if ur using my most current rom its not very stable at all lol.
But guys, you should agree with me. The most stable WM 6.5 rom which you can use on daily base should be this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477235.
Why: fast-stable-lite-nice theme-etc.
Who agrees with me??

Help Choosing a WM 6.5 rom

Thanks to all the awesome chefs out there!
I am currently running Ryan Moguls build 21501 (With NueKernel High memory)
I have 25mb of ram free at boot, and throughout the day with Activesync Exchange syncing and the hundreds of texts I sometimes get.. It goes as low as 11mb - 12mb.
This rom is stable and fast. I have found a few minor bugs but nothing serious.
I would like to upgrade to a newer build. Can I get some suggestions on the newest most stable version to go with. I use it for work and I'm on call 24X7. So it needs to work reliably. Any suggestions?
After testing a bunch of roms... i like 23017. Does anyone know of a 23017 build with the vogue / touch dialer cooked in?

Here I havent tried it but I am sure it works. Vogue dialer in CAB form. Now this uses its own ResOver/Bitmaps BaseDll. Some carriers on custom ROMs work best when using a specific one. For example Cricket works best when using the Override_VZW.dll. So if anything funny happens with anyone that tries this you may need to re-assign your original BaseDll. Here is the registry location to backup. With the value names.
HKLM\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps
BaseDll
BaseId
