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.

The newest Radio Rom is already included in Black Touch 2.

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?

Thanks. I'm still relatively new to my X7500 and am still getting to grips with it.

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.

I cooked a rom. Basically, it's a PTG OEM Rom, but with drivers from Dopod s600. Used same method that xangma. However, I'm testing the rom now, but the system seems to be the same, no improves. Maybe I'm wrong, but there's no software benchmarks can I do to display driver?
Other question, there's any way to improve system performance? I've installed advanced configuration, but file cache was already enabled.
By using original Touch Dual driver, you device will be freeze up every time you touch the touchscreen (Thanks HTC!)
Dopod S600 driver doesn't have this problem
Tiago Machado - try to clean up you rom

I've flashed the Rom minutes ago so I've only Resco explorer and Adv. Config. installed. I'm confused because, when I use Mary, Tom, and Shark Rom's, they come with a lot of programs and are faster than mine now, so I always thought that the speed was conected with the video driver.
So... how can I put my rom working like yours?
May be you just made something wrong with cooking?
When i have cook my self rom (20753 build), it was isn't faster, isn't slower than other rom

No... The only thing I've done was replace all touch.dll folder. I wanted to have two roms exactly the same but with differente video drivers so I can compare... But I will do some tests now. I've downloaded this software and it's running right now.
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-vsbenchmark-2007-v1-20.html
Dont you know a better software?
I just finished the benchmarks... well... the results are almost the same So many hours cooking and then I even dont know want gonne wrong... anyone have the results with and withouth most recent video driver so we can compare?
Nothing wrong, just there is no any video driver that will work on niki

So, why are some roms faster than the others?
So, why are some roms faster than the others?
Various builds, cleaning, etc.
I use original rom ported to wm6.1
I don't think Mary rom, or Tom's rom work much faster that my one (I have tested it, benchmarking prof it).
Can you cook rom, that contains build from kaiser, radio from kaiser, and .dll from kaiser (DDI.DLL, DISPTOOLS.DLL and another that can be compatible with niki)?
May be it will allow to use D3d driver from kaiser

I dont think that will work Even if I believe it works, I really cant do it. Really a noob Cant you help me faster my rom?
i forgot one thing... there is several programs from original touchflo
They made by HTC (calls HTC_program, htc_settings, they launch from large start menu) they change original programs and settings window to another one (They look absolutely same, but they isn't same). In result it works more faster.
For example - touchscrolling in program's applet. Without this programm, scrolling so laggy (Thanks HTC!), but by using it, scrolling works without any freezes/stops/lags
Hi !
i am new to nike and still stoked, such a nice device
Now i read that Manila3D is almost good to go - And i´ve read that Qualcomm is 3D capable, too.
What about some working (ati?) 3D drivers ?
Just would like to get information for my know-how.
Thanks !
This drivers must be ported first. Just installing doesn't have any results

Ask Jerpeala he's in nike upgrading forum and he's really knowlegable on nike roms and kitchens

i have tested the 3.55 kaiser ddi drivers with the new 3d drivers that work for kaiser
but on niki i dont get hardware acceleration
till now there are 3 usable drivers(software)
1.from latest opal rom (works but is not fast)
2.from latest opal rom (works and is faster than any htc driver)
3.from latest niki rom 2.12 (the worst)
i can not get 3d working even if i flashed kaiser radio rom and i have used kaiser drivers
there is something else needed (maibe in SPL or IPL)
BR
Okay thank you !
If there is anything that has to be tested...I am the one...
ATM i donßt een have a clue about that, so i´ll have to read a lot till then...
These drivers must be ported for niki (I didn't mean porting to rom)
Kaiser and Niki similiar, but not same. We need someone, who can disassemble and improve .dll's
Polaris already got working drivers

My shot is the kernel... this driver don´t work in NIKI´s kernel.
In order to work with the hardware, the driver needs to operate with the kernel. On a computer the SO kernel uses the HAL(hardware abstraction layer) so that one kernel can work with hundreds of hardware configurations. On the PCC/WinCE platform, the kernel is specific, so in the absence of HAL any driver will be specific to that configuratio too. So we need a modded driver wich can work on NIKI´s kernel...
The I/SPL will not add much on this...
We almost have a working SW driver haven´t we ?
So maybe TF3D will be just fine, when it´s done...
Sorry but i am not a software guy

i have an working os for nike with kaiser original video drivers
if anyone wants to try it please ask

please keep my informed which driver package you used (Kaiser or Polaris? modified or original?) and wether you need special ROM for this (ie, you ported kaiser ddi or smth manually?)
This so that info can be put up on the HTC-CA site
(Kaiser, Polaris, now Nike.. we getting places )

Alex, any feedback on installing the cab file. I'm keen to try it out, but currently busy testing a rom for one of the cookers. (don't want to skew my results )
Whoa, so what is this useful for? Just 3d? I want bloody 2d fixed first! It's horrible! =P
And what's that bug? Could you explain it a little more? Also, can that cab be installed with any rom or only that one you provided?

Good to know. You ported the Kaiser DDI to Nike, interesting.
How did you solve the power issue, though?
What about the 2d scrolling etc?
hello, im new here and my english is not good. i have a xda diamond pro from the german provider o2. i made hard spl and then i installed the rom-version 1.90.407.4 GER. The rom date is 08/01/08. i saw a newer rom on the htc-website, but i cant make a download because my serialnumber is from o2 and not from htc. can i make this htc download somewhere else or is there an other (may be better)german rom, which i can install. or can i find somewhere an original htc serialnumber. for all help i say thank you. greetings from germany. ralf
use the search function
just search the Raphael Forum for "HTC Stock Rom" or "manufacturer rom" etc. some sort of searchword should lead you to your wished rom
As an example for an incredible good, fast and funtionally improved Rom:
Energy - Phoenix - stable and nearly bugfree
Energy - Leo - State of the Art Windows Mobile 6.5.5. - i am running the 2. May Rom and it blows you away of what this phone can be capable with the right chef/rom.
GPS in under 20 seconds - without aGPS enabled and never before use. Thats damn amazin for this phone tho i am really happy with Energy
German Roms are rare but they do exist (i've tried a few, but the quality of those imho is not as marvelous as Energy or TAEL Roms)
Hope i could help you getting started - if you want to learn how you do all the custom ROM, Radio and so on stuff - read the Wikis, read the FAQs, search before you ask stupid questions that are answered along time ago .

I have a few of questions. I have modified my first ever rom. Am so proud of myself.
Anyway, where in the registry do I select UK keyboard as default keyboard layout on first boot? At the moment it always defaults to US keyboard layout.
Where in registry do I choose UK language as default language and region upon first boot? I have chosen 0409 as default but it keeps using US region upon first boot.
Finally how do I stop preinstalled oem apps from reinstalling themselves after a reboot even though I uninstall them? I presume this is a registry tweak too. Many thanks.

Dump European stock 2.05 and take Language boot ID package from it (0809 default) or at least - have a look at the rgu file of it.

Dump another source rom. What did you expect dumping rom containing this bug? And - no - it's not a registry tweak! Sorrowfully.
So as you see - all answers to your questions are "dump proper source".
Normally you should dump stocks and create your kitchen. Than you develop the kitchen by adding unlocks and other goodies. Dumping someone's custom is a good step to start but later on - it's a dead end. You will continue to get bugs from other chiefs without having a possibility to find and fix them.
Thanks for the advice. Greatly appreciated. Yes I have modified an exisiting custom rom. It is a start anyway as I have never modified a rom before using the osbuilder. One day I will do it from scratch as you suggest . Thanks!
Can someone who is using en-GB (not US language/layout) as default language AND as keyboard layout and region please check in your registry and tell me what the data field for APC should be:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\International]
"LCID"=dword:809
"ACP"=dword:???
Many thanks!

I Dump Nextgen 3.2 ROM for test
I Just Change the about page settings (EX name , Tel ) and rebuild ROM .
But still it reboots in HTC Logo
i didn'nt change any setting or folder but it reboots .
Any Solution ?
maybe its wrong radio?
tboy2000, it's absolutely useless to give any suggestions to the guy - we don't know even his device. According to his "Nextgen" - he is trying to cook for first gen device. That means - it has nothing to do with radio. First gen device roms are not dependable upon radio version.
His cyclic reboot on HTC logo can mean everything - beginning from non-booting XIP and finishing mistakes in OEM part. The only solution for him - continue trying. And playing with settings of OsBuilder. As I already told - dumping customs - absolutely wrong way.
The source of XIP, SLDR and OEM must be STOCK rom!
I dont know Which Setting ?
Which Setting in OS Builder ?
1. How can i upgrade wp build from 8773 to 8779 ? where should i copy update files ?
2. Where is Full Unlock Files in Nextgen 3.2 or Deepshining ? whats name ?
3. How should i full unlock Xbox games ?

Inside Your ROM to insert (in OEM and XIP) packages with full Unlock from Ultrashot (including corresponding to utility and editing the reg).

В данном случае гугел-транслятор просто не работает. Нельзя экстраполировать напрямую русское построение предложений - смысл теряется конкретно
Google is not good to translate the sentences - it works for words - maximum for expressions. Otherwise you get no sense.
To fran_1970
The best way - to write a PM to ultrashot asking him to give you unlock packages set. One package should be placed in XIP, other packages to EXT or OEM or wherever.
How can I go about making my ROM updatable?
