I have received requests to customize the 1.72.187 UK ROM for Asian users. As requested, here it is.
This extended ROM is based on the latest UK release of 1.72.187, and was customized for asian users of the XDA II.
All the latest versions of the software in the base ROM are included, minus all O2 UK custom settings and software, however all configuration settings are set to the old Asian extended ROM version 1.60.44.
I also added the latest drivers/software for the Socket Communications SDIO Wifi card and the XDA II Thumb Keyboard which automatically install as a part of the post install tasks.
I had to remove the Java MIDlet Manager included in the base ROM since the size limit of the extended ROM was exceeded, and I also removed the O2 Active UI since it is customized for O2 UK users. I included the installer .CAB file for the MIDlet Manager in the .ZIP file so that it can be installed manually after the ROM upgrade if desired.
CHANGES from the other custom ROM (1.72.181):
1. Based on the UK ROM version 1.72.187
2. No Blackberry support
3. Added the ClearType font fix from ROM version 1.60.44
4. Added the Extended ROM Viewer patch (Extended ROM can now be seen in File Explorer)
I have already tested it on my Xda II and I had no problems with flashing it and I am currently experiencing no issues with it whatsoever.
THe download is available further down in this thread, I removed the old download because it was corrupted.

File was corrupted when I just downloaded it.

That's what I really need. Thanks so much.
Would you consider to put in the SRS rotation and key as well?
Also, can you provide a brief guide for how to install the file?
The files you attached is just the nbf file. Also, what's the use for the password?
Thanks again.

When the SRS backporting to the Xda II is at its most stable stage, I will include it in the extended ROM, as of now I feel its still unstable, although I feel that the guys working on it are doing an excellent job (my personal opinion).
To use the file is just 3 steps:
1. Extract the contents of the original UK ROM update (Xda_II_172187_Final.exe) into any directory of your choice with WinZip.
2. Extract the ms_.nbf from the custom ROM I posted into the same directory that you extracted the files from step 1, overwriting the original ms_.nbf.
3. Run the HimaUpgradeUt.exe executable to flash your device.
The password is for users whou would like to further customize the ROM where openning it up requires a password. I only posted the extended ROM since it was the only part of the original ROM that was customized, and posting the entire ROM would just result in a larger download.
Many thanks.
Understood now.
Tried the ROM but have problem with my C-guys wifi card....
Not sure whether it is the wlan software has some conflicts with the C-guys driver, have uninstalled the wlan software and will try the C-guys card again.

Hi,
I tried to register, but the "Confirmation code: picture" appears as RED X.
Can someone show me where can I get this ROM without registering to this forum?
TIA

Hi
In WM 6.5 You Can Scroll The Programs And Menus Buy Dragging Any Where , But In WM 6.1 You Have To Use The Scroll Bars !
Is There Any Way To Make The Scrolling In WM6.1 Like The One In WM6.5 ? !
Thanks
Yes, it is possible
Infact that is the default feature of WM 6.1, if it is not removed by the chef while cooking the ROM to again more free RAM.
Try any of the 6.1 based ROM from this forum.
@Duron: No it cant be removed and it has became a feature of the Windows Mobile OS itself. It could be removed in older days (with Elf for example) when it was not part of Windows Mobile OS itself, rather it was provided by an external HTC tool called BioTouch. Now its inseparable.
Thanks Every One
krazy_about_technology thank you
i have downloaded one of your 6.1 roms
and it has the Scrolling feature
thank you so much
You are most welcome friend. Enjoy your phone!
guys iam srry
but there is a great rom iam using now , and its very good and comfo
but the only thing wich is missing is the scrolling stuf
could any one help me adding it again to the rom ?
thanks every one
@ Krazy,
Thank's for correcting me.
But I guess I had flashed a 6.1 ROM which did not had touch scrolling in it, So thought it could be removed while cooking.
Anyway it's good for us that microsoft has made it part of OS.
@Duron: Yes, you are right buddy, in earlier versions of 6.1, MSTOUCH was not there (this is the name people use to describe the built in flik scrolling in WinMo). These versions also have a weird problem, that if you copy 2-3 files to phone mem which are also present in the ROM itself (i mean you override the rom file), then the device would get really really slow. It would take upto 5 minutes to open the WIndows folder in file explorer. This issue was solved in some builds just before the one i used in Pro Users ROM v1.0. And at the same time, Microsoft introduced touch scrolling in the WIndows Mobile itself.
@Hassan: Buddy, there is no way you can enable touch scrolling in that rom without rebuilding it with a newer SYS which means, you create a new ROM. Only HTC Touch (Elf) and above phones have a touch screen driver that can do this with the help of biotouch.exe utility. It requires this utility + support for it in the touch.dll driver. This driver file is unique for every device and cannot be used across devices, atleast not between those which have fundamentally different types of touch screens. For reference, see how the touch screen of a touch series device from htc differs from a device like gene. you will get the idea, the hardware is different.
how do i know which rom im using
i have the x7510 .i heard that the michy rom is really good.how do i know which rom im using.also is the oem rom any good.
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 .
Hey all, I need to know how I can remove the Windows live app from my HTC HD2 running winmo 6.5, that I recently installed the "Maxsense Energy Rom" on. It came with the older version of Windows Live, and I would like to use the new one available 11.1, I believe, but you can not do this without removing the old version first, it will not work. So, bottom line is, How do you remove an app from windows mobile 6.5 that came in a cooked rom?
P.S.
I love this sight, I have learned alot, I am running a T-Mobile, HTC HD2 with winmo
6.5, with the Maxsense Energy Rom, as well as Android Gingerbread 2.3.
Thanks
You would need to unpack the rom into a kitchen,remove the app, rebuild then flash it again,
sadly most (all) cooked roms are protected and wont unpack into the kitchen.
so, the easiest option is ask your chef if they would kindly
a)make you one without that app
Or
b)let you have a copy of the kitchen
You can also try
c) dump the phone into .raw files with psdread, then use a kitchen to convert those back into a cookable format.(not 100% sure this works with cooked roms.)
can you not unpack the cab & manually transfer files to overwrite existing files using resco explorer or total commander !
I do not know why cooks load these type of apps in ROM, would make more sense to implement them via cabs at second boot thus allowing easy upgrade/removal as users require.

Hi,
You don't need to remove it, I installed v11 over the top of cooked in v10 yesterday and have no ill effects whatsoever. (I can use the Bing section, Hotmail integration and Messenger with no problems)
Hey thanks for all the responses, As far as installing the new live version 11,
you can install it, and the app goes on the phone, but when you open it using the new icon, it only opens the old version. They look very similar, but are not.
Check your version, and make sure it's 11, and not 10.7. Or... I am having a different issue than you are??? Either way, I think I will live with the old version for now, if I need to "Re-cook" The rom in order to just upgrade an app that does work. Thanks guys!!!

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!

You just cooked a bad rom That's the problem.
Continue trying. No one can tell why you got cyclic reboot. It's too common.

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?
