With the release of the US Touch Dual (HTC Neon 300 / Niki200) sold through Best Buy, I am looking for a willing individual to dump thier Rom so that Niki100 users can try to port it to their devices.
Dumping this Rom can help bring a stock WM6.1 Rom to other Niki owners. If you have a US Touch Dual purchased from Best Buy and you would like to help, please post here.
If there is any contributing information/problems on compatibility, development, Rom porting or if this is already in progress please feel free to update this thread.
Any help and information would be greatly appreciated,
-Thanks-

Niki200 is only a Device Type. Niki200 Roms work on Niki100 Device too, without modding ... porting ... only dump is required!
Thanks for the information - Do we know if the HTC Neon 300 and Niki200 are one in the same?

Thats what I was wondering, and didn't know if you could do that with the diference in the bands and possible hardware changes.
Notice the image below for different camera placement on the US Touch Dual (HTC Neon 300) as compared to the Niki100. I wonder what else has changed internally.

I'm glad to see someone has also put in this request... I was under the impression that i was being ignored... hehehehe
Anyway, i'm hoping the Neon300 has the same specs as the Neon200, i've ported WM6.1 to the Neon200 but it just has to many hardware issues with a NIKI/Kaiser Rom.
So if we get a dump, we can start cooking... and get some nice Roms.
Anyone come up with a dump yet? I would very much be interested as I'm doing some development for a 6.1+ app and would love to see the stock rom on my dual.
just got one not too long ago and im willing to help.anyone got a wiki on how-to dump a rom?
Excellent, I am really appreciative for your help as well as others I am sure!
I have put together all the information and links you should need to dump your rom, I hope you will find this easy and if you have questions please don't hesitate to ask.
You will need these Tools/applications:
http://nah6.com/~itsme/itsutilsbin-20080313.zip
for updates or if the link breaks, go here:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html
(found under download)
Here is an excellent video on how to dump in Quicktime format:
Credits to doctajay and his thread with video tutorials found here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1968557
Dumping Your ROM (51.3 MB)
I recomend saving the video to your computer for easier playback; to do this right click on the image and click "save target as" and choose a location to save it to. The tutorial is not that long but the video time is because you watch him dump his rom, I just scrolled through this.
To Upload
you can upload the raw files using a websites like www.rapidshare.com and post the links for users to download, if you need help or other solutions let me know.
Thank you greatly,

I just got a Touch Dual (WWE), and was trying to dump the rom last night. I was getting an error from pdocread and ended up reading the hermes dumping entry on the wiki and came across this regkey change:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies
valuename '00001001' was set to dword:2, change it to dword:1
Once I performed that pdocread worked great, and dumping went perfectly.

I played with this for a bit, and it's probably my lack of skill, but has anyone successfully cooked a rom using this dump?
Mine keep getting stuck at the loading screen "smart mobility".

I will dig into this rom and see if I can get it to work on the Niki100. I will also take a look at the camera app and see what I can do. I am fairly new to cooking so I can't pomise anything at this point.
Again, thanks for your rom dump. This will bring great improvment to the community I am sure.

I successfully flashed the US Touch Dual Rom that was dumped to the Niki100 (20 Key)
However I am getting alot of bugs; No error messages but certain elements that do not work or are buggy. I have the NBH file if anyone is interested but it clearly has some issues. I had to create a work around to get past the error number [244] : INVALID MODEL ID and maybe this why my device ended up with these bugs.
Here is what Doesnt Work:
No system noises or sounds through internal speaker or speaker phone which also effects calls(midi ringtones work with incoming calls )
Keyboard Bug - Keyboard works like 16 Key version for the keys with numbers but other 6 keys work normal (I have Niki 20 Key Version) Example: If you press any of the number keys you get numbers, multi tapping only enters the number again. If you hit keys not on the number pad like the QW key it works normally; you get Q and if pressed again you get W.
keyboard Backlight & Quick Tasks works in reverse, backlight on/open quick list when keyboard shut and backlight off/Application closed when open. (Good news is the Quick Task is now animated with sliding motion when open/close)
Camera does not work, application works with setting controls but displays black screen. Also no second camera option.
Here is what works:
6.1 Rom loads and UI functions normally
Touchflo works (not using s600 driver)
Phone can make and receive calls (but no audio or mic functionality)
SMS works normal with Threaded capability(no audible alerts)
Midi Ring tones work with audible
HTC Home, Audio Manger and Album Applications work (camera appplication works but camera does not and audio manger has no sound output)
Data Connection connects in Edge but Explorer shows this when you browse to a page:
HTTP ERROR: $CODE$
$MESSAGE$
RequestURI=/
Settings for Dual Band UMTS are shown but UMTS(800) is selected it does not connect phone or data, all other setting allow call operations and atleast Edge connectivity
Network Type options show GSM and WCDMA (When WCDMA is selected Phone icon shows searching... with blinking dots but finds nothing)
All physical buttons work (with exception of backlight on keyboard *see description in Not Working List)
On Screen Keyboard Works normally
Here is the About info:

Hi mate,
I had the exactly the same issues in reverse (Flashing a NIKI Rom on the Neon) Everything worked fine except for the keyboard and backlight working in reverse.
I managed to get 99% of the issues resolved by Porting the XIP and SYS from the NIKI but leaving the NEON OEM intact. I'm guessing the issue is in the OEM/Drivers folder with a specific dll. I asked the question to a couple of senior members but wasn't able to find a solution.
You can try porting the XIP and SYS from the US version onto your Niki see how that goes.
Let me know if you need help.
Cheers
Finally Did it
After much trouble and many glasses of wine, I now have a stock WM6.1 rom running on my Niki100. I had to port the rom from shortyboy's dump using the last known HTC WWE rom to get what I think is a complete success. Thanks shortyboy, Goines and seth2006 for all your help and motivation.

I found out you have to port the rom, a straight dump and rebuild did not fully work and gave me problems I listed in a few post back, but it did get me to finally learn some things about cooking and porting. I always have bee such a weinie to start doing this until now.
Here is my first port of this rom.

OK i see ... some Guys need help!
Here some discriptions:
Your Phone doesnt Ring or you dont here any Sound!
This is a Radio Rom Problem or Core DLL Problem (XIP)! Its the same Problem why HTC Kaiser use different OS for Phones with "pre build radios"+1.27, 1.58+1.64 and 1.65 Radio Roms. ATT Kaiser and Non Branded Kaiser has different Radios too. It means ... its a Driver Problem and this is the only reason!
If you have this Problem, you can try compled different Versions. I want a OS copy from Bestbuy Phone. I think they need 1.65 Radios ... i will check this today!!!! (please dont do this, if your phone isnt secure unlock and cid unlocked!!!)
Can't create a dump with the Niki Kitchen and Flash it back!
Main Problem ... you need too edit a Device File in the Niki Kitchen. I have edit the Nikikitchen for Niki Only (i change soon the Version with Neon Settings!)
In the directory "\Tools\" you can found a importent file. "htcrt_devices.ini"
Open it with a Text editor and insert this text!
[Neon]
Experimental=1
ModelId=NEON****
SignMaxChunkSize=64
RomSections=4, "0x200,SPL,262144,TRUE", "0x600,Splash,262144,FALSE", "0x301,Radio,17563648,TRUE", "0x400,OS,0,FALSE"

I have just finished extracting a factory neon 300 wm6.1 parts 0 through 3 if you like.

I was wondering is this possible.
The hardware spec. is pretty much the same, except the TouchFLO.
I think ... the Touchscreen is differnet and the main Problem. I have see, the first ported touch cube starts via hardware key! not like on a elf.
Touchflow available on Wizard???
I am not too sure if the H/W if so diff... I think someone has been succesful in porting touch flow to the Wizard.
Check out the following link..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313656
Actually, I didn't hope for the TouchFLO to work.
Just that this may be the first official WM6 ROM for HTC Device.
It may be a good and stable base ROM for further development.
Would it help if I uploaded the rom of the german o2 version of the htc touch. My brother got one yesterday. From the first look is the touchscreen pretty much the same as that of the prophet. Same memory size and processor type, too. Just more MHz.

not working
I've tryed to flash a rom with all the OEM parts from the ELF the only new app I got working was the new camera wich by the way is realy cool. but none of the other apps worked. they did load but where not displayed. like the commanager showed no images but I could turn on bluetooth by pressing the screen where the image was supose to be.
to get it to work some dll files must be modified
what would be handy is to get the battery driver from this rom and try it, as this is still giving problems on the current WM6 roms.....

Hi all,
I've taken to trying to get some Neon ROM action happening again. I've downloaded the latest Nike ROM kitchen as a base and have managed to get the ROM to install and mostly function on the Neon hardware. The outstanding problems I can't figure out are as follows:
1) The hardware keyboard does not function correctly (it acts like the 16-key model, where "QW" is the internet key, "AS" is start menu) and has no backlight. I have tried installing the latest EZInput files to no avail.
2) The Nike camera application functions but the Neon camera button does not work (have to use the d-pad button to take photoes) and no auto-focus.
3) No working FM Radio application (I have tried the FM Radio QVGA Diamond Style CAB from here to no avail - though I haven't tried the CAB from the original extrom yet).
Other than that, the phone is highly responsive and calls, tones, ringer and vibration are fully functional.
Would appreciate not being accused of lack of searching because I have spent plenty of time researching these issues. The main complication is that the forum does not let you search for 2-letter terms (such as FM, 16, 20 etc). I think I've done a reasonable job getting this far!
Please help!

Given that Nike is the basic starting point, and the Neon is not quite a Nike, have you tried extracting the relevent package from an official Neon ROM and using those in your OEM?

Once you have figured out the incompatibilities could you post them here so us Neon users can finally stop begging for help? Or better yet, explain briefly how you knew which files to extract?

IMPORTANT: From now on, i will post ready to use XIP and SYS for the Visual Kitchen i have posted. You can download the base kitchen once and just update these files as specified in the kitchen thread to get the ROMs. The Kitchen thread is here :
Sumits Customized Visual Kitchen 1.8.1 for HTC Gene
Hey Guys,
Here is the WM6.5 avatar of my good old Pro Users ROM for WM6.1. The philosophy behind this ROM is same as it was with the original one, To provide a complete, unadulterated experience of Windows Mobile 6.5 to Gene Users, with a balance of features and performance to make the most out of our phones.
Thanks to my dear friends Ankit360, Da_G, joojoobee666, monkeybape and others for sharing the SYS and XIP, Ramerson, Helgee, Bepe and Ervius for their guidance, the great cooking tutorial and the fabulous PlatformReBuilder based kitchen which i used to cook this ROM.
Details of Current ROMs :
================================
OS Version : Windows Mobile 6.5 (CE OS 5.2.21864/23052 Build 21864.5.0.81 / 23052.5.3.0)
Free Phone Memory : ~47-48 MB
Free RAM on Start up : ~21-23.7 MB
@ Page Pool : 8 MB
Protection Status: Non Dumpable, Kitchen Included
Screenshots:
================================
I dont think these are required as the ROM has plain vanilla look of WM 6.5 with classic blue theme applied.
Notes :-
================================
COM2, COM3, COM4, MD1 etc are name of different development chains at Microsoft and each of these branch has a particular build number pattern. Some of the branches have splitted from a previous one when development reached at a certain level while others are created by OEMs like HTC, Sony, Samsung etc for their own specific development purposes. Currently, COM2, COM3 and COM4 branches are having new updates.
COM2 branch is the 218xx series, it has the old WM 6.5 RTM style look which is perfect for a QVGA screen as of now. This branch is almost feature complete and is now being optimized for performance.
COM3 branch is 230xx series and its having the latest UI changes right now, with start menu and ok/close buttons at bottom, plus a thinner upper bar and a fat lower bar due to transfer of buttons from top to down and increase in their size to make them finger friendly. The softkey indicators are also on the bottom bar and are now in shape of buttons instead of flat text. This branch builds also have drag and drop in start menu and not-returning-to-today screen type settings menu.
With latest release of this branch, 23041, the whole set of changes it brought have been merged with COM4 branch so its highly unlikely that a new build will come in this one.
COM4 Branch is 234xx branch, is the official Windows Mobile 6.5.x branch and is the one receiving all the latest updates.

Changes (if any)
================================
Build 21864
- Even Faster performance
- Settings Menu in Start Menu now does not returns to Today screen after choosing a setting icon. It returns to the menu and you can change another setting.
Build 23052
- New UI, with almost fully functional themes now.
- You can drag and drop icons to rearrange them in Start Menu and it doesnt returns to today on choosing a settigns icon
- Stable memory consumption, Performance is also great.
- Top bar is now tappable in every screen
- The working of default Windows Mobile spell checker and suggestions has been improved, previously it use to get in your way of typing, now it re-orients itself according to the space left on screen.
- The icon problem introduced in 23047 is gone and UI items are getting more arranged. But the ugly radio buttons are back for some strange reasons and the Today item selection screen in Settings>Homescreen shows magenta colored transparency mask around checkboxes, looks tacky
Please post your views, reviews, opinions etc etc about how fruitful my work was

Ramerson has provided me the XIP so you'll see it most probably by this evening. WKTask works by hacking the taskbar and because of the changes in Windows taskbar display method, its no longer compatible. Even if it works, it will cause problems with the new lock screen.

Your'e Welcome buddy Actually all the previous builds were not so stable and had one or more problems that were making them unsuitable for regular use. So I didn't had good feelings about WM 6.5 yet. But with this build, its quiet stable and looking at the release date of 11 may set for WM 6.5, this must be quiet close to the RTM.

As compared to helgees build its low on memory but still its fully loaded so no problem on phone storage memory part, but can u build on helgee style so that we can get more RAM......just after flash i am getting 22.2 Mb of RAM and after loading PIM i get 20.8 Mb of RAM...
Known issues
-music play back stops when power key is pressed to turn off the display
-active syn arrow on task bar remains even after USB cable is removed
One more strange thing with helgee rom....I am able to flash it with PC using RUU utility although its mentioned to be used with SD card method...
Please try to pack ur ROM using helgees method so we can avail more RAM along with power packed pro users fetures...
Overall its a suberb ROM.....as it should be
coming from the Karzy's Kitchen
Thanks buddy....will report other issue if encountered

Although you are saying that you have been successful in flashing the same ROM using RUU. not many users have reported that. So i guess we must get feedback from other users too, coz if this is possible, we are in for a treat. As for now, 20+ MB of free memory with WM 6.5 is good enough too, i used opera mobile (most heavy winmo app AFAIK) which ran flawlessly with 3 tabs open, along with Audio Manager running, which is another huge app. So i guess dont go on numbers, see the usability.
Known issues
-music play back stops when power key is pressed to turn off the display
-active syn arrow on task bar remains even after USB cable is removed

- Although the registry settings for Audio Manager, in which i included the tweak for playback in suspend mode got corrupted somehow, the trick that used to work on WinMo 6.1 is not working on 6.5. I tried adding the right registry settings, rebooted, but still it doesn't works. So i guess we need to wait for some other method to be explored for it.
- This is happening in your particular case. I am not having this problem
Anyways, i guess these problems will not much affect the usability of ROM and its good as a first release. Lets see what can be done further
bro thnx a lot
but bro on the today screen theres no batery indicator instead time is shown there
@Jyot: Use Advanced Settings Tool in Start>Settings to set the option to show battery on today screen instead of time.
@krazy

Hi
I have cooked a ROM (Actually, recooked an exisitng one) and threaded SMS doesn't work - when active you can't open the SMS conversation at all - disable Threaded SMS and and all is fine.
I recreated my kitchen thinking that it may have a corrupt file, but I have replaced the SYS, ROM and OEM and it still is the same - what am I missing?
Thanks
DT
It happened my the same but when I changed manually after having already sms in the inbox.
Then I cooked it in the ROM and now its working.
PS - I also noticed some strange behaviours depending on the order or they way we apply the reg changes. Right now for this tweek i'm using a normal reg file and I forced to be the last one by changing the name of the package to Zxxxx (i was not sure about this but i confirm that after changing the name some tweeks started to work properly). Other solution is always the provxml.
Thanks for the reply - It was registry changes that were not being applied in the correct order (somehow it changed )
Anyway, got it all going again now.
Thanks for your help.

I think it was items from the Mega Port that caused it for me too.
the only packages I am using at the moment (as I know they work 100%) are the Power_Off, Power, DeviceInfo, TaskbarIconMgr, HTCScroll,HTCFontLink and the Redial. The 2G dialer I had from someone else's release, same dialer but different colour - so I use that one.
The rest of the OEM/EXT Packages are a mix from IOLITE, JADE and TOPAZ.
Album 3 - I couldn't get the menu to accept finger touch.
Camera from Mega didn't work, so I still Use the Nike one -I did notice that the new Ervius kitchen that I created fixed the mms/email thing for the camera - I hadn't had that working using the jerpelea kitchen.
3G dialer I use the std Nike one
M2D from Mega wouldn't launch, sure I was missing something, but haven't had time to revisit it yet.
Other items from the Mega I will test as I go - the dump all in there and hope method failed miserably
Hope this helps
DT
I've tried to cook all Mega oem (except oem drivers and oem app)

I've tried a full Mega port too, with my french translation of all MUIs : that's catastrophic... It seems ResHack can't be used to do that properly. Maybe I'll learn english for a while ?
About RAM, I noticed about 35% only in use, so I think therea are packages that are not loaded (even if I think they're cooked since ROM size has not decreased at cooking).
new Notification_Enhancement works only if cooked in WM6.5 with HTCScroll2, HTCFramework and MEGA_Boot_Launcher, yuo need only to edit 2 mui files, work in my italian 6.5
(in 6.5 My phone console works only if yuo change dll and exe in sys with official microsoft cab one)
this is my work for the moment...
and about new keyboard? in NemanjaLO rom seems to work (only 16 key???)
(d_train change the thread name "About mega porting" or similar )
@salvy.c.83
done
Has anyone tried jerpelea's kitchen with Mega packages ? If it works fine (it's jerpelea's work so it should work...), it could be a good starting point.
About EZinput 2, I've made it work once, when I "savagely" port Mega stuff only renaming 0409 MUIs to 040C to match my ROM language.
By my side I'll try to port packages one by one to see what ones are really needed (and most of all, who need to be fited...).
I use a old style kitchen (newest than jerpelea)
EZinput 2 works fine, but some problem with hardware keyboards? my 20 key doesn't work fine...
I think i'm missing anything when i try to add notifications and menu pkgs i simple can not boot... i've added htcscroll2 and also htc framework.
Actualy right now i've added everything and is not booting... what is strange is that i already manage to put everything from mega and booting.
I will try now with 23009 maybe it will work... now i was with 23016
any hints?
Sincerely no hints... For my first try I put everything like a barbarian, only renaming 0409 MUIs to 040C to make them work with my ROM and almost everything worked almost fine, then when I began to translate them the problems came...
I really think we'll have to make a full port since packages look to be original (not only by the 96DPI res, but in their structure : even MUIs content doesn't match to corresponding VGA packages versions). Maybe the problem come from an old package we use ? Since they were made for 6.1 kernel maybe they interfer with new Mega stuff ?
The porting has just began my friends, we'll have to work to get the solution...
For me nearly all Packages are working, both in english and german!
But I have two extremely annoying problems:
- RAM usage is about 85% all the way, even without M2D 2.0 there's no big difference
- my Kitchen (the Ervius one) doesn't work anymore!!!
By the way: my last cooking status was with Build 23004! 23009 gave me image glitches like hell!
I've the same problem with ram!!! I'm using 23016 buid and without manila v2 works fine! also after customization do not restart...
I've translate some mui in italian (0410) and works without problems...
I've selected again the pckg from scratch and now its working (i dont what was missing )
I didn't use to much the phone but till now Opera is behaving strange... exiting sometimes with error msg and it is not related with flash.
About the HW Keyboards... I read somewhere that some people manage to put ezinput2 and HW working, anyone knows how?
Thanks

If anyone knows, it would be great to use the ezinput 2.1 from the Mega

似乎99%正常工作在NIKI，除了GPSTools以及我们需要一个完整的Widcomm OEM，以使用HTCMEGA CommManager，
PACKAGE_MEGA_Album与PACKAGE_MEGA_Camera运行OK!
需要几个小时去测试他们的兼容
In your 21827 ROM there are:
"VideoTelephony"="2_5_33904_0"
"Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_2G"="3_0_1917_1620"

have yuo edit something?
Thank you

Pro's of this new Ship rom ROM are:
- Good Radio (could depend on country region)
- Performance (fast with some customized tweaks)
- Battery life (okay)
- Updated HTC packages
- Stable (no beta ****)
How to Flash:
Check if you have a WWE version already on your TOPAZ?
If not so you have to use the HSPL method to flash this ROM
See here> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
I'm on my work now (not enough time), so this is a short instruction, you can flash your TOPAZ in two ways:
(First way)Run the executable [RUU_Topaz_hTC_Asia_AUS_1.75.710.2_Ship.exe] and folow instructions.
You need an active USB connection between your TOPAZ and a PC for that.
(Second way) Extract the executable [RUU_Topaz_hTC_Asia_AUS_1.75.710.2_Ship.exe] with powerarchiver (www.powerarchiver.com)
Open the extract folder and rename the {RUU_signed.nbh} file into TOPAIMG.nbh.
Put this TOPAIMG.nbh file on the root of your SD storage card.
Then Switch [Off] your TOPAZ, when [Off] Switch to [ON] and press (together same time) the [POWER + DOWN VOLUME] button.
If done rightly, from this point you should see the tri color boot screen
The flash proces starts automatically (when TOPAIMG.nbh is on root of the SD card, if TOPAIMG.nbh not there it don't start).
(be careful here, make shure your battery is full, or connect your TOPAZ to external power)
Press [POWER] to initiate the flash proces.
When you have pressed [POWER] wait some time (approx 4 min) and follow the process% indicator bar.
(don't interrupt this flash proces, in some case a second reboot can come up at approx 20%, don't worry)
When finish do a hard reset (press the small RED button on the back of your TOPAZ with the stylus)
The RED button is behind the point where the stylus is put in, to reach this button you have to remove te backplate first.
Then your TOPAZ is booting the new ROM, follow the instructions.
Good luck!!
PS> Excuse me for my poor English!
Hi
I'm now using this ROM. I much prefer the stock ROMs as they have always proven the most reliable and bug free in my experience, even though I keep trying cooked ones.
As already mentioned 6.5 is too slow and buggy in my opinion, I'm not sure if this is down to them being home grown and often a bit of a Frankenstein ROM (bits and pieces pulled together from different sources) or it's Windows 6.5 Hopefully official ROMs will have the issues and bugs ironed out and will be faster.
This ROM is working fine with the newest radio 4.48.25.13 available from the Radio Thread.
Regards
Phil

Nothing wrong with a Frankenstein ROM, use TOPIX on my HTC Touch HD wich is very good.
Windows Mobile 6.5 still not completely free of errors, logically explained as a ROM has Beta status. There is no official Stock 6.5 ROM yet.
Most of the issues in this ROM are fixed.
Expect somtime when I make a call it shows that it is dialing, but does not connect.
If you end call, and try agian it works,
Not sure why, it only happens sometime, have full range.
Apart from that very happy with this ROM, only installed it a few days ago.
General Comments/questions
The contact list, it is very hard to scroll, has anyone changed the volume keys for scrolling up&down?
Or can the 'Back' key be changed for scroll down?
Also does anyone know if you can change the Camera soft button on the touch flow home screen?
so far i have been using this rom and it is quite stable and a lot of improvements from the previous original rom. majority of the quick fix that were downloadable from the htc website is no longer compatible with this rom. there were improvements. but one thing i noticed is that the fonts are smaller compared to the 1.40 rom. thats the only thing that i noticed. all in all its good.
I have loaded this, and is seems faster. I previously had the Stock Asian 1.40.707.1
It also now says Telstra instead of 3gTelstra, must have some AUS stuff added.
Also better on power consumption

Hey FSB small world, Melbournite also.

I too have a WWE stock ROM 1.40.707.1 (49069) and thinking of upgrading to this one.
Only problem my OS version is CE OS 5.2.21041 (Build 21042.1.6.1)
this one is 21041.1.6.1 seems mine is ahead?
