first of all, props to those who found the startup/shutdown sounds. happy to be rid of those.
now i bring you, speedy startups and shutdowns.
seems that there's a (delay) value, and splash screen designation. that the phone was designed to start up after, what appears to be, a full minute of delays.
i found these in the registry:
HKLM/System/Startup
and
HKLM/System/Shutdown
containing directories 1, 2, 3. (on my Cingular 3100)
the first is a DLL... best not mess with that. the same DLL both times.
on the startup side, #2, is the cingular splash screen (complete with delay duration)... #3, is the windows splash...
again, with delay.
keep in mind, i'm talking about values in these keys. (for those who might get lost)
i just deleted the #2 from both startup and shutdown, then deleted #3 from startup (which is the only place its found), and restarted.
immediately, there was no shutdown splash... and since there was no designated shutdown sound, my phone basicly turned off right away.
i started back up. i still saw the cingular splash (i figured it would be in the bootloader too), but it went away faster, bringing me to my home screen... everything from there, seemed to be as ready as it always was after the normal boot (aka, still loading PIM data, specificly appointments; and syncing the time/date with my service provider)...
i'm running the cingular rom, as i have the cingular model (the 3100)...
seems there are some gems in the registry that have yet to be tapped... i'm curious where the switch is to allow OBEX file transfers... if anyone finds it, let me know
finally, sorry if this has been discovered before. it's novel to me... havn't seen this one anywhere... if anyone with a non-cingular model is willing, please check to see what variables are there for the different copies of this phone, i'd be interested to know how much each company wants their logos to display (thus delaying their customers from using the phone)
... i think the Cingular splash timeout was somewhere in the range of 60000, but don't quote me.
Nice finding!
Mystick,
Thanks to share this finding. I'm currently using the original Dopod rom in my startrek (Dopod S300). Found 2 directories in the Startup and only 1 directory in the Shutdown. Deleted all. Now my startrek only shows the initial DOPOD logo, no longer the additional HTC smile and the windows splash. And no more DOPOD logo during shutdown too.
I wonder if this works for Hermes running WM6 too...?

with mine, directory 1 ran "oemstartup.dll"... which i figure is probably important. i'm glad you're not having problems because of the change, but i'd warn against deleting any with DLLs values, the DLLs may be important to the normal operation of your phone.
i don't know the directory structure or what each DLL is supposed to accomplish, and thus, i try not to mess with it... but again, if it works, all the best. but like anything, this is an "at your own risk" change... and i only deleted the keys with values for splash/delay.
it really boils down to personal judgement and caution, i'm pretty cautious about messing up my phone, so i try not to make any drastic changes in DLLs or anything. but not everyone is like that.

dunno about WM6. the keys might be the same, considering it's actually windows mobile 5.5.
there's a lot of startup-related things in the registry.. i'll try to post more of what i've found later.
I got a 3125 running the latest Cingular ROM and tried to delete 2 & 3 in startup and 2 in shutdown with PHM Regedit and it says action is not allowed. Let me know if there is something I'm missing or doing wrong. Thanks!
I have tried deleting these keys from my Dopod S301 wih the same (no) effect. I can edit some of the keys in the registry, but others (including these) appear to be locked by the system. Any ideas appreciated.

Please make sure that your device is cid and sim unlocked before installing the rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...80#post1354180 Also put your device into bootloader manually by pressing the camera button and softreset at the same time
Ok first I just want to say thanks to eaglesteve for helping me test new BT stacks however, I was unable to get a bt stack that would do file transfer to and from phone or laptop and still have it work for bt headsets. I should point out that the bt stack that is in there does work just not for everything some of the files are from the diamond and some are from ap4 and I personally have tested using BT headphones, BT mouse and BT keyboard all at the same time and it works pretty well. I also want to thank ervius for helping me with xip porting and to cmonex for helping with anything I needed help with and thanks to Anunnaki for the animated startup and anyone else I forgot about
I added new splash screens that are in line with the startup theme from my last rom, hope u guys like as I did it myself
Ultra Vanilla: build 19521.1.1.0
added total commander over file explorer
removed stuff from cpl reg
added custsk to config.txt
fixed welcomehead startup
switched band to auto
changed quickgps reg settings to 7 days
changed default phone skin
enabled autotimezone
added tcpmp and all plugins in place of wmp
added easy config for wimp with hardrest option (will be explained in download folder)
Of course this is a uc compliant rom if you are unfamiliar with this then click on the link to find out how to make a sdconfig.txt file so all your apps are loaded automatically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337
I have removed about 22mb of stuff but I kept all the reg settings and intflashfiles.dat settings also. So if you want to add any of that stuff back into the rom just copy it to your device and it should work.
There are no screen shots as this is Ultra Vanilla so there is not much to show off

thanks for sharing.
do you know about registry editor from total commander? Looks is not included
looks the button assignation for networks is lost (right side, over power button)and commmgr.exe is not present
Irus,
I just installed it and have the following questions/concerns:
1. I can't find comm manager so I can't turn on wifi.
2. My previous taxis/irus rom did not have any keyboards installed and I liked that about ultra-lite.
3. no real vga to alter dpi (can I install this separately?).

different people use different comm managers so i left it out
i kept default keyboard so people could choose their own
you can install that yourself
Ok.
Could you (or someone) point me to a comm manager and the realvga software to download.
Thanks!

GPS is good this time. Cold fix took 1 minutes and 44 seconds outdoor under clear blue sky. The same spot that I stood when I tested the Chinese ROM, which incidentally took more than 6 minutes. But Sprite Terminator still does not work. I think it does not work in WM6.1 period. With Wm6.0 it works.
Noticed an error when trying to navigate to bluetooth folder.
Also, it is strange that a number of my application acquired a generic icon for the application rather than the proper icon. Does anyone else have this problem? Edit: icon appeared after a soft reset.
Still installing application, but it feels fast. I think you have a winner here.

to be honest i noticed better gps fix but i thought it might be tomtom7 as i got a cold fix in under 5 min from in my house and did not use quickgps. so glad to here its not just me. also i know about BT problem i was trying to get the ms stack and the other stack that you tried that worked on file transfers, to coexist but no luck. glad you like it
Truly admire your passion, will only possible to test your latest on week-end.
irus,
I thought you had WIMP cooked in, but can't seem to find it.
Your spalsh screen is nice. The only thing I'm uncomfortable is the fact that you advertise to the potential thief how to do hard and soft reset. I'd rather that info be extremely difficult for the thief to obtain.
Cheers.
I wonder if it is just me. I noticed that occasionally the device seems to refuse to reflesh /update the screen, showing completely wrong info and image. For example, the icon of application often does not get instantly updated after an installation. When I was using my eWallet, when I click on the Field tab, it is not showing the screen for that but from whatever was left behind just before this. Some strange behaviour.
There is something strange with some drivers i think.. TT6 (i've installed the common application for anu LITE rom) screen refresh is very slow, changing menus I see a "fading" slow effect and a sloooow refresh rate. (you used net cf 3.5 right?)
Other suggestion
1)I will suggest to remove customer experience
2) Default sounds aren't working
3) too many SIP, they waste resources and memory

I think so too. The refreshing of screen is not functioning normally.
Anyone having problem setting up email accounts and connecting to them? I took several attempts before I managed to set up email account. It did not see the service provider I had set up before. My service provider was strangely not on the pull down list when I tried setting it up manually. Later, after it was set up, attempt to download mail results in something to the effect of invalid settings for connection.

This ROM is deprecated, as the purpose of the ROM was to help test a kitchen. As the kitchen has been released, this ROM will no longer be supported. Please use the kitchen to build a ROM, and report issues there.
Over the past several weeks, in my copious spare time (<-- sarcasm, if you missed it ), I've been working on a more or less vanilla ROM (in this case, vanilla referring to one that is very similar to shipping ROMs). My goal in this case has been slightly different from some of the other ROMs which have popped up here, though: my ultimate goal is to release a suitable ROM kitchen so that users in the Athena forum here can develop ROMs that create their own custom ROMs, rather than having to rely on other people to tweak their ROMs for them.
As a result, this ROM isn't a very interesting ROM in a lot of ways. It's meant to be a test for a solid basic ROM. If this test goes without much in the way of problems (which is what I hope for), in roughly a week, I should be able to release the kitchen for this ROM. At that point, I'd like to see users contribute OEM packages and/or tweaks to make things better. I'd prefer to avoid putting them in the base ROM because not everybody is willing to make the same tradeoffs (like the GlyphCache registry hack which trades memory for display speed). I'll be using this ROM for the next week or so as well, to help flush out any issues. I've been running it for a couple of days, and it seems fine so far.

Miscellaneous other updates which aren't really worth listing for this test ROM, although they'll all be listed with a kitchen release
Known issues/concerns:
The XIP is the XIP from AP 5.0 beta (build 19588.1.1.4, which was from the Sony X1 Xperia ROM). I've tried to generate a matching XIP for the ROM, but it won't boot. Anybody around here know how to create a good XIP?
There seem to be some issues with the Bluetooth OBEX service not being able to start. That's true of this ROM as well. It's able to send files to a PC without a problem, but it can't receive files (although it can copy them).
Even though screen rotation works both in the operating system and in HTC Album, HTC Album's screen rotation has the chance to screw up the operating system's screen rotation. A workaround is to use an application that can restart services (such as the FdcSoft Task Manager) to restart HTC Sensor Service (Athena).
Although the phone skin does work on 128 and 96 dpi, the speed dial application can act flaky and start drawing itself off-screen, which can trigger an error. One workaround is to dial a single number, then rotate the screen, which forces a redraw, after which it functions properly.
The VGA HTC Home plugin could be in slightly better shape. The TabSetting registry entry doesn't seem to work (or at least nobody's responded to me here yet), and the Profile tab shows a keyboard vibration option that, naturally, doesn't work.
The enlarged start menu has some icon overlap on 128 dpi.
The nifty System Status popup on 96 dpi seems to trigger just to the left of the connectivity indicator, while not triggering on the connectivity or signal strength indicators. It does work, just a little strangely on the other dpi settings.
Sym-A now generates the _ character instead of the $ character. (Added July 11, 2008)
Reported issues/concerns:
Some users are reporting an initialization infinite loop. The new ROM (updated July 11, 2008) might fix this; please report if it's still broken for you. (Added July 11, 2008)
During phone calls, the number keypad is active instead of the alphabetic keyboard. (Added July 11, 2008)
Miscellaneous notes:
Most users would probably call this ROM both bloated and underfeatured. Seemingly contradictory, yet true. It probably includes things that you don't care about (a lot of users couldn't care less about BubbleBreaker and Solitaire, for example), yet doesn't include things you do (like maybe a better task manager). That's not the point of this ROM. The whole point of the kitchen is so that you can take things out that you care nothing about, and put in what you do care about. I'll be doing the same myself.
This ROM has all .rgu files deleted, and only a single .dsm file. Although that's frequently done for "security" reasons (to prevent ROMs from being disassembled), in this case, it's more for performance reasons. Menneisys has done some testing which shows that more files in \Windows slows down system performance. Besides of which, if everything goes as planned, users will have access to this kitchen straight from me anyways.
Updates (July 11, 2008):
The new test ROM is now bundled with primary and secondary splash screens, as well as a blank extended ROM. This will hopefully address the initialization infinite loop; please report if it's still broken for you.
pimstore.dll has been replaced with a Windows Mobile 6.1 96 dpi version, doing the equivalent of what the SJ Contact Summary fix .cab did (I don't know where that pimstore.dll came from, whereas I know where the module I used came from). This fixes contact summaries in 96 and 128 dpi resolutions.
Permissions have been tweaked for *.htm files in the ROM generation .bat file. This fixes issues with reading/writing SMS.
VCommManager updated to version 0.3. The skin has been replaced with a significantly smaller .png.
Links (Updated July 11, 2008):
Currently for SPL 3.5 only (I haven't tested SPL 1.2, and for the final ROM, swapping out the OS.nb for an SPL 1.2 version and updating the ROM folder for the XIP should be sufficient):
Megaupload
RapidShare
CheckAutoRun test ROM (Megaupload)
Feel free to ask questions! I'll answer what I can.
sounds great, why .net 2.0 and not 3.5?
which SPL is the image for?
Very good iniciative.
I've been testing some of the ROMs posted in this forum in order to use one of them as base for my own personalized ROM.

I think that in order to release a kitchen I think that is better to keep all the .dsm and .rgu files, so the people can choose what packages to keep or remove. Is there any tool that merge all the rgu/dsm in one before cooking? This would be the best option.
sounds really good,
a software-combination from the new devices combined in Athena (Ameo).
If the operating system is english or not is not the biggest iisue for me; but I couldn't use a german keyboard with an english keyboard driver...
Is there planned in any way to chance leastwise the keyboard in another language.
AND - if I find that the new version is not so good for me, could I go back to the original Version (t-mobile german WM6) ?
btw: do you support with this rom ms voice command too ?
Great
Seems intereting and promising...just want to know, if you would be able to avail this rom for both spl's 1.2 & 3.5.

Answering myself: Yes, there are tools to merge all the packages in a ROM (I suppose that is was a stupid question, sorry, but I'm learning to cook ROMs).
For example, buildos+packagetools4.2b3 from ervius can do it automatically.
I have been using this tool to learn how to cook ROMs. Attached to this post
is .bat files that allow you to use buildos+packagetools4.2b3 to extract/build ROMS from/for the Athena.
Only for SPL 1.2???

One question about SPL versions: As far as I understand (as I said before I,m quite new on cooking), the diference between a ROM for SPL 1.2 or SPL 3.5 is in the XIP used. The ROMs for SPL 3.5 are based on AP4/AP5 (or takes the XIP from them), while ROMs for SPL 1.2 are based on old WM6 oficial ROMs. Is that right? Is there no problem for using a XIP form WM6 and a SYS from WM6.1?
thanks in advance

What was stated above that the XIP is the XIP from AP 5.0 beta, does this mean that this rom is for spl 3.5? Can some one help me answering this question.

Hello
Just trying the new rom and found that i am unable to send an email or text message. If I press "menu" and then "new" nothing happens.
Also the contacts details page is coming up blank. I can confirm that this can be fixed by implementing the SJ Fix_Summary_Contact.cab file found in various places.

What spl is this rom for?

I would be interested in a version that can be used with SPL 3.50, and the ability to start with a base (yet complete) WM6.1 is what I have been really looking for (while the Manilla stuff looks really cool it was not intended for the Athena hence the stability issues, I could live without it). This project looks very interesting.

.NET 2.0 and not .NET 3.5 because .NET 2.0 is what ships as part of the Windows Mobile 6.1 SYS. It's not that hard to roll a .NET 3.5 OEM package; I'm sure you'd be able to find one without too much difficulty.

There is a tool that merges all the .dsm files into one and deletes the .rgu files post-registry generation while generating the ROM (Bepe made one). That's what I'm using. In the kitchen itself, there are all of the different SYS and OEM folders you'd expect. But it looks like you found that on your own too.

btw: do you support with this rom ms voice command too ?

The operating system is WWE at the moment. If you have access to all of the German folders (I know WWE is 0409; I don't know what German is), it would be pretty easy to go through and replace the folders. Replacing the keyboard itself might be possible; I don't know for sure. If nothing else, the advantage of a kitchen is that you'd be able to try it yourself.
This is an SPL 3.5 ROM at the moment, so the only way you'd be able to go back to the T-Mobile German WM6 ROM would be by downgrading back to SPL 1.2 first. It's possible, although I understand a bit involved.
Any ROM should be able to run MS Voice Command. I actually have an OEM package sitting around so that MS Voice Command can be built into a ROM; if I were to release that OEM package, though, it would have certain files missing that users would need to re-add themselves, as it's a commercial product.

its not the fastest rom but its stable and most important i got the data connection working under spl 1.2 ..... just an awsome job i am going to do a little more testing and with sogarth's permission i will release it for spl 1.2 the only thing i will add is uc compliant and the rest will be untouched.

Well, I wasn't aiming for fastest, as I said. That gets to be the experimentation later.
Feel free to release an SPL 1.2 version if you want, although if everything works out, I'll be releasing a kitchen that would be able to generate either, depending on the OS.nb it's built with.
xtep said:
One question about SPL versions: As far as I understand (as I said before I,m quite new on cooking), the diference between a ROM for SPL 1.2 or SPL 3.5 is in the XIP used. The ROMs for SPL 3.5 are based on AP4/AP5 (or takes the XIP from them), while ROMs for SPL 1.2 are based on old WM6 oficial ROMs. Is that right? Is there no problem for using a XIP form WM6 and a SYS from WM6.1?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As far as I know, that's correct. Ideally, you'd have have an XIP that matches your SYS (down to the build level), but there isn't a huge difference between WM6 and WM6.1, so that would be fine. Even better would be if you could port an XIP, but I've been having a few problems with that.

Just trying the new rom and found that i am unable to send an email or text message. If I press "menu" and then "new" nothing happens.
Also the contacts details page is coming up blank. I can confirm that this can be fixed by implementing the SJ Fix_Summary_Contact.cab file found in various places.

Hmm... for the first, that's odd. I'll have to look into that, since I'm not sure what could be causing that.
For the second, I thought I'd gotten that working, but I guess I hadn't. *sigh* I'll take care of that, although I'd like to know why that's happening, too, since I'm using WM 6.1 96- and 128-dpi resource files. Unless it's something other than that?

The microdrive mounted as MicroDrive2 , [another folder is prescent called microdrive with a my documents folder with default "stuff". Not sure if this is just me.. can anyone else check this please..
Click to expand...

Hmm... I'd suggest deleting MicroDrive and doing a soft reset, which should fix it. I would have freaked if that happened to me every time with this ROM.
I'll admit that as part of setup, the ROM does copy stuff to your microdrive (demo files for HTC Album, which the HTC Diamond ROM seems to like to do). It's pretty easy to disable, but I figured I would leave it in for the base ROM (since to be honest, I personally hate it when kitchen developers "tweak" packages, since I want to know that what I'm working with is relatively untouched).
i can confirm that i can recieve text messages but i can't view them except for when it first pops up in the bubble. there is a dll file missing i think

How to Flash this ROM
If you don't know what is HardSPL, STOP! You need to read this before you continue. This ROM is only for GSM devices. For CDMA ROMs, look here.
I release my ROM in flashable microSD format, mainly because:
To prevent newbies just running an .exe file without knowing what it is
Less space in the compress release
microSD flashing is the SAFEST way to flash.
Can't wait? on to flashing!
What You Need
Zip or 7zip extractor for the compress file. You can download 7zip here
USB cable if flashing from ActiveSync
CustomRUU Wrapper (download it here) if flashing from ActiveSync
microSD formatted to FAT32 if flashing via (micro)SD method
Flashing via ActiveSync
- Make sure your battery level is above 50%, or the flash will not continue!
- BACKUP ALL THE CONTACTS/FILES YOU NEED!
extract RAPHIMG.NBH from the compressed file, rename it to RUU_Signed.nbh
put the RUU_Signed.nbh on the location where you've put the CustomRUU Wrapper.
Connect your Touch Pro/Fuze to your PC via USB cable.
ActiveSync should run and connect your device. Wait for the icon to turn GREEN.
Run the Custom RUU Wrapper and follow the steps on the screen
Flashing via (micro)SD Method
- Make sure your microSD card is formatted to FAT32, or else your Touch Pro/Fuze won't detect the file.
- at least have around 40% of battery. I've done it with 23%, but just to be safe, make sure you have enough juice left
- BACKUP ALL THE CONTACTS/FILES YOU NEED!
extract RAPHIMG.NBH from the compressed file and put it to your SD
Do a HARD RESET
with your stylus, press the RESET button while holding down the VOLUMN DOWN button and ENTER button. It should go to diagnostics (rainbow screen) mode.
release the RESET button, but continue holding the VOLUMN DOWN and ENTER button until you see "This operation will delete all your personal data..."
press VOLUME UP button to hard reset.
while resetting, press VOLUMN DOWN button to go back to diagnostics (rainbow screen) mode.
if done correctly and your microSD is formatted to FAT32, it should say "Loading..." or else you will just see the rainbow screen.
Press POWER button to flash your ROM and wait for it to finish. DO NOT REMOVE YOUR BATTERY!
When the flash finishes, press the RESET button. DONE!
UC Ready ROM
- this ROM is UC ready. What is UC? Check it here.
- NOTE TO NAVIGON USERS: If you are using your Navigon SD to flash and setup UC, you need to rename the 2577 directory first otherwise UC will not work correctly (thanks urys)
For AT&T Fuze Users
- screwed hardware keyboard? Download the fix below (see post attachment) or download it here
- to setup your connection problems:
Download AllTheWay's AT&T Settings Cab from here (Thanks AllTheWay)
On Start->Settings->Tab "Connections"->Connections->Manage Existing Connections->Tab "Proxy Settings", uncheck "This network uses a proxy server to connect to internet"
On Start->Settings->Tab "Connections"->Connections->Tab "Advanced"->Select Network, change both pulldowns to "Media Net" (Thanks Reefermattness)
If you still have some problems (weather in TouchFlo3d not updating), try this (thanks AlienHairball):
On Start->Settings->Tab "Connections"->Connections->Tab "Advanced"->Select Network, change both pulldowns to "My ISP"
if you edit "My ISP" make sure it's on "Auto" instead instead of either "My ISP GPRS" or "ATT GPRS"
On Start->Settings->Tab "Connections"->Advanced Network->Tab "HSDPA/HSUPA"->make sure that "Enable HSDPA/HSUPA" is set

I know, I know, I'm supposed to quit-- but the new base is soo tempting to cook
PRIVATE BETA for the moment. I want to hear first from the users of my ROM before (you know who you are and I know who you are, send me the pm for the link!).
Let's keep this thread clean and learn from mcmexican's post.
Canadian users, I've removed the rilphone mod for a while, sorry. I need to know if it will work with this one (reg entries not enabled yet). If not, then I'll cook it in again if there are no difference in call quality.
PRIVATE BETA 2 Link : MediaFire. Same password as BETA 1. Changes from BETA 1 are:
Changed Opera to a new build (15545) as the other one has a duplicate launch bug
Added zoom in Opera from g2tl
changed GPS settings and drivers
changed video drivers
changed some service loading timings
removed Butler
(I forgot) removed YouTube link in Internet Tab
This will be the release (plus cleaning of Windows, still lots of files to remove) for 4.00. I'm still considering releasing a loaded ROM, what's in my head right now is:
dotFred's Task Manager
Butler or dredSensor
Music ID
PIM BackUp
Diamond Tweak or Config
MortPlayer
Adobe Acrobat
wMRegOptimizer
still considering:
Worldcard Mobile
RSS Hub
Sprite Backup
What do you guys think?

Hi sabre,good to see you cook a new rom again.
A question: is it based on the new 'official' htc rom floating around here?,if yes,do you have also that bug from youtube app?
When i am trying lower the volume it does not work,with and without headphone
It stays on high volume .
And if you need a tester i am willing to help if you can use that (i am rom flash addict)
no pointless posts in this thread.
no - im downloading now...
no - this rom is amazing....
no - rza i love you
NO POINTLESS POSTS IN THIS THREAD.

I can't tell you since I didn't cook the YouTube app from the latest Raph ROM yet, I need to modify it again to clean the installation from \Windows.
For the testers Butler is modified and cooked in this ROM thanks to siggie1970. Currently swipe launcher is the only one enabled (swipe up and down on the left and right side of the capacitor sensor and you'll know). I'll be updating the Butler source code and put it on the next BETA build. Check out HKLM\Software\Butler for more settings
EDIT: and I'm only planning to implement the app launcher and the sip changer from Butler-- the face down lock I would imagine a lot of people would be annoyed (example is when reading in your bed)
i use to be a big tester over in the kaiser community til my usb port stopped working, and as of 2 weeks ago i've been a happy fuze owner, i'm willing to test this rom.
RZA still makes some of the dopest beats!
-Anyways, the ROM passes my utterly useless test of GBA emulation--good framerate, no irrecoverable crash after a soft-reset (triggered when kfortouchpro isn't set to default).
-YouTube works fine, although HTC really needs to release some significant updates so the videos don't play at 10fps.
-Email and SMS work well without any noticeable bugs (i.e. nothing weird happened so far).
-Fixed Opera is a bit of problem. It has to do with the build, rather than your ROM. When launched from tf3d, it opens up with 2 tabs, whereas buttler-launch would have one tab. It lacks the zoom slider, which can be enabled with a reg tweak (but I forgot what it was). I personally like the transparent skin that someone implemented for 15202, so maybe if you could look into that, that'd be great. If I get a chance to, I'll test the skin.zip on the new version.
-Butler is great, but I found myself accidentally launching apps too often. You should try dredsensor, which does a lot of interest things. With dredsensor, I'm able to use PIE and Opera Mini in full screen mode by assigning the home and back buttons as left and right softkey. I also set long-clicks to launch stuff, which means I rarely (never, so far) launch anything accidentally.
All that is without my customizations (sdconfig.txt). So I'll report further if I see any incompatibility problems with the apps I use.
[Edit]
SDAutorun.exe doesn't initiate automatically.
[Edit 2]
I solved the Opera problem. Apply the provxml and use the skin included. Too lazy to make a cab file
So far...
-seems faster to restart and boot up
-after quick gps, Gpstest took approx 1 min to get a 3D lock
-TomTom nav 7 lags approx 1 to 2 seconds approx 50% of the time, but is dead on accurate the other 50%
-Only had one small instance where I was typing a new sms and it booted me out of it and into the inbox (where it then brings up the quick menu instructions) and it put the message I was typing in in 'drafts'
-I like having Butler integrated! Never used it before and if it was installed in 3.01 I didn't realize it.
-I prefer the black dialer
I like it so far...seems faster overall. I flashed from sd card. Using quartz radio. I'll report back after more testing.
Thanks pfcsabre
ROM
my setup
FUZE, Radio quartz 1.11.25.01 (Radio that ships with the 5.05.405.1)
First played with base setup, no installed apps
could not break it/find any bugs, GPS fix was <1min, battery drain normal, no major memory leak, all base functions (incl landscape typing) working, GPS accurate, generally fast and responsive, only issue has been Opera opening two tabs when opened.
Then loaded it out
1. Adv config
2. Diamond/Tf3d tweak
3. Diamond TV
4. Starplayer
5. Resco Radio
6. Skyfire (8154)
7. PCMkeyboard
8. Yota Contacts/Dialer (TF3d skin)
9. GekoCal
10. Navipanel
11. HTC Zip
12. RSS
13. HTC footprints
14. SoftKey Manager
15. BCR worldcard
16. Adobe Le
17. Arcade
18. S2u2 1.42 TP skin
19. Finger Menu
20. TP Super Arcade
Did not experience any bugs, all apps functioned properly, a few things I noticed.
yota dialer was unresponsive to a phone button press on the stock ROM5.05.405.1 (periodically dialer would not load if phone button was pressed), on this ROM it functions fine.
You went to the small ezinput, I couldn't get the ST keyboard installed (it would install but bottom half of the keyboard graphics would be messed up). This occurs on pretty much every rom with the smaller ezinput (at least that I have tried), any chance you would go back to large ezinput?
v4.00 PRIVATE BETA
Hi, nice to see you back again!
Running the v4.0 for about 5 houres and it seems very stable. Noticed the following:
- SDConfig does not initiate autonatically
- Video drivers seem to be slower than v 3.01. Used the coreplayer in both of them and the Benchmark that includes gives 159.72% for V4.0 and 185.44 for v 3.01.
Still testing!
seems 5.05 graphics drivers are not up to it... thanks gikoz
let me try the opera fix g2tl-- I initially tought the problem was from the new manila as launching opera via Butler is working fine. And, you can set the sensitivity of Butler so you won't be launching apps too often
The black skin will be on the final release, I'm just lazy to put it right now.
EzInput will be the small one as I checked most keyboard cab that is available is working on this release. EzInput and XT9 will be cleaned again to WWE for the final release.
Anything else? I'll cook the fix and put the link of the next build if it's ok.

I was pretty sure the multi-tab bug was fixed, but after a few resets and installs, it's back
At least the zoom slider is there, and the buttons are half-transparent
Btw, I'm pretty sure it's not the newer manila that causes this, as 15202 doesn't have that issue.
Unless you come out with some major fixes, I'll probably stay with this beta.
Oh, one thing I did have problem with is sprite backup. I had to disable tf3d for the backup process to go through. Even so, the devices freezes on the reset after the backup. Another reset solves the problem though. Oddly enough, I've had this problem with a customized PROven 1.14a as well, so it may have more to do with one of the apps I installed than your ROM.

Uh, is it just me, or is the phone lock curtain missing?

yup it's missing in 5.05 Raphael-- I'll put up the other version that I have with the dlls from 5.05.
Still thinking what more to change-- I'm trying to port the multiple appointments from HD.

For NEON 400 users only!
Please do not even consider flashing this rom unless your device is a NEON 400. That's the Canadian Telus/Bell version of the HTC Touch Dual. If you don't know how to find out the model number... then I suggest you do some more reading before you consider flashing any roms.
Hey All,
My old phone died so I recently became the proud owner of the HTC Touch Dual NEON 400. Long story short I unlocked it (Thanks to jockyw2001) and found that there are no Chefs out there with this device. There's a couple dedicated dudes out there trying to help all of us NEON 400 users (Talking about you Rataplan, deepankerjha), but since they don't actually have this device it's pretty tough for them to prepare and test a rom for us.
So, I took the plunge. With Rataplan's help (thanks a lot buddy, couldn't have gotten this far without you're help) I've been cooking away and have a solid WM 6.5 ROM here for us. It's based on the Telus stock ROM and WM 6.5 build 21914. I haven't yet cleared all the extra's (so it's a bit fat) but in my testing so far it's 100% functional and bug free (well, as bug free as WM can be )
I can't guarantee how well it'll work on the Bell NEON 400's, but if you have a Telus device, this should do the trick. I'm using it right now on mine.
Please leave feedback if you try this ROM out. I am still a novice chef, but I'll take feedback to heart, and I'll continue cooking and optimizing roms for the NEON 400 as I learn more and get better.
Happy Flashing!
I'll post updates as they come.
UPDATE:
Sorry all, but in my quest to migrate to the Android OS I've ditched my Neon in favour of the Vogue. I'll upload the Lite ROM I was working on for those who want it. The only thing I was having trouble with was the GPS, apart from that the ROM runs very nicely with the extra weight of the cube and other fat removed. Feel free to PM me if you have questions, I'll do my best to help if I can.
Give me a few days to do a fresh build of the Lite ROM and to take one more stab at getting the GPS working.
Okay my final roms are up. Hopefully Rataplan will have the links posted below shortly.
Lite Version: 1.01 - 1.03
-WM 6.5 Build 21914
-TouchFlo Cube removed
-A bunch of other bundled HTC/Telus packages removed
-GPS is still flaky
Version: 2.01
-WM 6.5 Build 21914
-Nothing removed, All stock HTC and Telus packages remain
EDIT I can't post links just yet, so Rataplan's going to help me out with that, check his post below for the download links.
Here are the links:
NEON400_201 Added 19th August
NEON400_Lite_101 Added 9th November
NEON400_Lite_102 Added 9th November
NEON400_Lite_103 Added 9th November
Loaded on my Bell NEON400. Took a while to get to setup and made a few bleeps along the way, now it's at the "Customization" part. Will update as I finish setup and test it out.
EDIT: Finished installation, looks pretty good, will test calling and texting as we go. Any chance we can strip the Telus crap out of it though? Hate seeing "Telus" everywhere when it's not even a Telus phone.
EDIT 2: Trying to set up ActiveSync to sync with my Google Account - it freezes every so often for a short while and won't respond to taps or key presses. Seems to be common in all applications. Also, the keys operate but the backlight never turns on for them (disregard that - they do work, see Edit 4).
EDIT 3: Hitting the X to close a window doesn't kill the app like it did in WM 6.1. Not sure if this normal behaviour or not (first time flasher).
EDIT 4: After a reboot the key backlight is working again. When I try changing the keyboard however to a full QWERTY layout the setting never saves and always reverts to the "touch keypad" or whatever it is (same problem in WM 6.1 so it's a setting issue not a ROM issue - disregard please).
If you could get rid of the Telus branding everywhere and see what's up with the freezing this ROM would be perfect!
Nice job.
got_milk, Thanks for testing on your Bell device. Like I said in the post I wasn't sure what to expect on a Bell phone. I'm working on a lite version right now with the Telus stuff stripped out. I'm also trying to remove the added weight from HTC like the touchflo cube (I really hate that thing...)
I've noticed the problem with the X button not closing apps. It seems in WM 6.5 it just sort of minimizes them. Although if I recall there's a setting somewhere that lets you set it so you can close an app by holding the X instead of just tapping it. I'll look into that some more.
In regards to the responsiveness one thing I've noticed is that when memory is low I sometimes have to tap and hold the buttons for a moment before they register. I initially thought it just wasn't reading the hits but found by accident that I could make it work by holding it for an extra moment. Hopefully this won't be a problem once I get my Lite version working.
I highly recommend downloading and installing Finger Keyboard. It's my favourite by far. I can't post links yet, but the thread where I found it is titled:
\\\\\\\\\ F i n g e r K e y b o a r d 2 ///////// v2.1 - NOW ONLINE - all resolutions
One other thought: If you could hook me up with the ROM you're using as the stock Bell ROM I could recreate this 6.5 ROM using it as the base. This might solve some of your problems too.
Thanks again for testing!
Not a problem, thank you more for doing this! I really hate how we're limited to WinMo 6.1, when we clearly have a 6.5 capable device.
I'm using the stock Bell ROM from jockyw2001's HardSPL post (stickied at the top of this forum).
Looking forward to the lite edition, I will certainly test it when you release it.
So, I couldn't stay away (Software Engineering student...lol). I set up my own kitchen and started to cook using a stock Bell ROM. I've managed to strip all the Bell crap + the HTC cube and make a nice clean ROM.
However!
I've encountered one bug so far. On the home screen, where "Text" should be, it's simply blank and clicking it gets me to the main Outlook menu (where I choose Text Messages or Outlook E-mail). I can also not create text messages or reply to them. I know we've hit this roadblock before but no one's said how they got around it.
I also don't have data working at all - it's not being configured automatically (I think the Bell customization wizard does this, but it's disabled).
EDIT: Okay, it's as I suspected. There's a connection.xml file that's part of the Bell scripts that is added to handle data access. Anyone know how I can add data as part of the ROM package?
For sms take a look at this post from 88fingerslukee,

That registry edit is just enabling/disabling threaded SMS...in my case SMS doesn't work at all (I can receive and view SMS') but I can't create any new ones or reply to them.

So I've tried with a bunch of different WM builds, new kitchen setups, and everything I can think of under the sun.
Data works out of the box - it's just not enabled by default. If you go into the comm manager and enable data it seems to work.
SMS is still broken. When it's not highlighted right above the text 'Text' it displays 'No notif...'. Highlighting 'Text' gives you absolutely no text at all and your option for that is 'View', which takes you to your call list.
I've cooked all day and yet I cannot get this to work at all. I'm rolling back to WM 6.1 until I can find a solution.

got_milk, way to go bud! Glad to have another new chef in the kitchen. I wont bother cooking a Bell ROM as you're already on track. My Lite ROM is gonna be a while anyway. Between wife, kids, job, and house... I just don't have a whole lot of time to tinker.
In regards to your SMS problem, I might be able to help. I too had problems getting SMS to work when I started working on my Lite ROM. After some trial and error what I found fixed it was to include two files from the OEMAPPS pkg.
Strip out all the crap from OEMAPPS you don't want and make sure that these two files remain, then include the package in your next build:
234f3319-55a2-46a3-be32-24530a643a0f.dsm
234f3319-55a2-46a3-be32-24530a643a0f.rgu
I'll be honest, I didn't do any research on the significance of these files, I just happened upon it by chance.
Good Luck!
Aha! I shall do another cook tonight and see if that does the trick.
EDIT: You sir, are a brilliant genius. I didn't have the .rgu version but the .dsm was there. Deleted everything out of OEMAPPS but that, cooked and flashed, and texting works now.
Thanks a ton!
Excellent! Glad I could help
So, my two bugs I've noticed so far...
No data. EV-DO is available, looks like it has to be set up manually. Anyone know how we can incorporate this into the cooking? I've tried ADC but it doesn't work, says it's not a valid Pocket PC application every time the phone boots up.
Also, the buttons along the top (sound, data, etc) work normally in the home screen, but enter any app and while the icons remain the same their functions have now been shifted one to the left. (Volume becomes Close, Data becomes Volume, etc).
When I first started a Lite ROM I stripped my Operator EXT packages. That killed my data. I put'em back to work on the OEM pkg's. I haven't had time to dissect the EXT packages yet to find the pieces we need for data. Whichever one of us figures that out first will have to share it with the other
For now I'm still picking through the OEM packages finding all the pieces I want/need to keep.
Not sure about your taskbar buttons, might be related to that handy tasks dropdown item that's usually on the far right (like a quickview task manager you can use to close running apps) I don't know if that's a WM feature, or something HTC bundled in.
That's an HTC bundled application (TaskManager.exe in OEMApps). I removed it and the bug's still there. You don't have this problem?
Data is handled via Connection.xml which is injected - somehow - during the "Customization" process. You CAN do it yourself manually - simply add a new connection and have it dial #777.
There's not much in the EXT packages - and what's there is impossible to tell for now, I'll dissect more and see what's there.
Strange, when I hit any of the buttons along that top taskbar it just opens up a bubble with icons for each of the options available, and then select an item from the bubble. Individually the icons along the top don't actually do anything for me, they all just open this bubble.
Right, which is the normal behaviour - it's when you actually select an icon from that bubble that everything appears to have shifted one position to the left.
Try it at the home screen and then in an application.
Also, looks like data is handled via "Connection.xml" which is placed inside the Windows folder (I'm back to stock 6.1 to check file locations). If I try to put that inside OEMApps or whatever and have that copy over though it doesn't end up in the Windows folder as far as I can tell.
I'm also trying to strip out the more unnecessary stuff, however, the camera always breaks and says the app is missing files to run. I can get rid of the cube, and everything else, but I'd like to leave the camera function behind (strips 30MB off the ROM if I clean everything else out). But the camera doesn't work.
