This is my latest kitchen. This kitchen is based on Calkulin's kitchen with updates and some modifications done by me. The kitchen is a bit more than a basic setup and should have all the tools you need as you expand your chef skills. It can be used for HTC Diamond, Touch Pro and Touch HD.
This is what I use to create my ROMs found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466438 It is based on
CE version: 5.08.502.1 | OS build: Windows Mobile 6.1 AKU 1.4.6 Build 20771
Basic instructions:
Extract Kitchen base files.
Extract Packages into At0mAng Kitchen - 5.08.502.1 folder
Double click At0mAng's HTC Kitchen.CMD to start
ROM Building:
From main menu
Select Option 1
You will be presented with a device list to build kitchen, select your device.
From there you will be presented with 3 more options, I like to use Option 3, Build a ROM using BuildOS+ Package Tools
Once BuildOS starts click on BuildOS
Leave packages Tweaks, ProFuze Keyboard switcher and Enahanced Video Driver selected (on) so they are include in the ROM you build.
Select other packages that you desire
Once all packages are selected press GO (Green Arrow)
Once BuildOS is complete a window will pop up asking you what Device once again. Select your device.
After that step is complete flash program will begin.
If you do not wish to flash than press cancel and the new ROM can be found in the RUU subfolder.
Advance Features
If you are looking to use the advance features of the kitchen please search XDA to learn how to use them. I only provided the tools in the kitchen so as your cooking skills expand the tools are there for you.
Notes:
All ROMs based on the default setup will have a 16MB pagepool unless you change it before flashing. A utility to change pagepool can be found in the RUU folder.
Make sure you only have one dialer group selected.
Make sure you only have one or none TF3D flavors.
If you are a Windows Live user then cook Windows Live into the ROM. For some reason installing Windows Live from a cab does not play nice with the new ROMs or my builds. Looking into it.
The default keyboard is set for a Touch Pro. I have included a niftly little app called ProFuze created by trinode that allows you to switch keyboard layouts without any regedits or cab installs.
Vista users make sure you have UAC (User Access Control) disabled.
If you would like to learn more about the advanced options of the kitchen then please look around XDA for additional info.
Good luck to all that want to create your own ROMs.

why leave everything in the enhancements package checked "off?" Do you mean selected or unselected? Am I unable to pick and choose among them? For instance, I don't want the in-call curtain.
This is pretty awesome though. Can't wait to try it out.

Ok the only things that should be selected so they are included in the ROM are Tweaks and Video driver.
Updated first post to what should be selected as on for all ROMs.
At0m, thank you for all the hard work. Lately, good work has been under appreciated in these forums. This needs to change!

You need to be logged into windows as an admin. If it is a work laptop and you do not have the admin password then you can not run it. If it is your own personal laptop then just log into the admin account and you should be fine or give your account admin rights.

I just downloaded it and it is running fine. Did you try to do anything else besides build a ROM? Only thing I can suggest is to delete the kitchen folder and extract it again.
I cant figure out how you add packages. I click on Packages to insert in ROM and nothing happens. I need some step-by-step instructions. I have no clue what the execute Xipporter means or anything.

Add packages by copying whatever package folder to the package folder inside the main kitchen folder.
XIPPorter is an advnace feature. For the advance features please search around XDA to learn what they do and how to use them. There is a good thread in Deve and Hacking. It is not needed right now if you are just cooking. If you are looking to port different builds from different devices that's when it can come in handy.

This is essentially the excellent Korand 3.1, but with UC compatibility, enabling easier switching between ROMs.
UC info
UC allows customization using a storage card, and so allows for completely individual customization of any UC compatible ROM.
Without a storage card, this should run as it normally does.
For info on UC look here!
I'm currently working on a Touch Edition. I have a beta version I'm uploading. If anyone wants to test it, I'll post the link here.

l3v5y..
What here is, is not final version from Cloudyfa..
He has already dump the other one from kaiser.. And solved this WPA 2 problem..
But need to fixed something on SD Card bugs..
I downloaded the Touch ROM and I flashed it succesfully.
But during the ROM customization progress it is stuck on 'running SDautorun.exe' and does not continue anymore. I waited for about 30 minutes and soft resetted my device. The device starts, but now I have a very clean ROM (no sign off any Touch items).
Can anybody help me with this problem?
There are two reasons for this:
I didn't add a security pack that allows certain (unsigned apps) to be used.
The initflash file (what places shortcut files in the right place) was not edited properly and so shortcuts to apps are not in the correct place/not there at all.
hi l3v5y,
Happened to me the same thing. I can confirm that the shortcuts in my case are correct.
Questions:
1 - can I choose diferent folders for the cabs?
2 - Is the program case sensitive?
best regards
RP
For info on UC, see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337 if that fails to answer your questions I shall try to answer them myself.
I've been trying for more then a week now to get my next rom UC but it just will not work so any info on how you got it to work would be grate

It might need to add a key setting in reg:

I had that happen, but at some point when importing a package, the error stopped.
If you take the SD card out, and then wait after a hard reset, it should reset.
DCD if you dont like what im doing just tell me to delete this post and i will.
All credit goes to DCD one of the best kitchen and Rom maker's out there.
If it wasn't for him our 6800's would be almost useless.
This is for the people who are using the titan kitchen. I took DCD's latest build and repackaged it for the PPCKitchen.org Titan Kitchen located
here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=23206
Place it in your BuildOS/Kitchens directory and then extract "Titan_DCD_3.01_Selections.txt" and place it in the BuildOS/Projects directory.
Now you can create your own custom DCD rom using the new kitchen and DCD's latest build.
I've been using this for about 20 hrs and the rom is very stable.
Thanks again DCD u Da MAN!!!!!!!!

Errors in PPCkitchen
King - Thanks for putting this together
Unfortunately, I'm getting an error message (a bunch).
I downloaded the main file and did the updater.
When I go into BuildOS and select DCD 3.0.4 5054 or 5060, I am bombarded with error messages "Internal Error - Option.xml GUID not found (PROGRAM - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) where the "Program" is the name of the program and the x's are registry keys.
After I click ok 100 times to get through to the Kitchen, it allows me to select programs and build the OS, but once I install it, nothing actually gets installed on the phone.
Do you know what is causing this? Any help would be appreciated.

Edit - However - VERY nice job getting it to where it is..... Thank you
Thanks will try. The BuildOS in the regular kitchen is crashing so I can now cook a kitchen.
Also will my OEMs made for the 3.0.1 rom work if I put them in the build os directory. I didn't use the OEMizer w/ BuildOS. It appears to be the same just w/ a different save directory.

The sliding sounds module is in the DCD OEM's folder......when u open it up in the kitchen it should come up as a selectable OEM. At then point all you have to do is select it.

What i have provided is just a modified version of DCD's work (all credit goes to him) that will work in the ppckitchen.
You can check over here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=23206

If you asking about the DCD kitchen you can ask over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385336 and im sure he will help you out.
I guess the obvious question is, what's the difference between the two kitchens?
DCD's kitchen is built around his ROM. The PPCkitchen kitchen isn't designed for any specific ROM or device.
Advantages of DCD's kitchen:
It's what DCD is using, so you know it builds his ROM like he intended it.
Advantages of PPCkitchen's kitchen:
Easy to install.
Prettier front end.
More error checking.
More OEMs to pick from.
Self updating.
Device dependency/exclusions supported
Carrier dependency/exclusions supported
OEM dependency/exclusions supported
Easy to move same configuration from one kitchen to the next.
Effortless switching between ROM configurations and kitchens
Splash/animation support

I honestly don't think you give DCD enough credit for his work.... Here are some more Advantages....
Easy to use
Builds a basic ROM with only 2 clicks of the mouse.
Can be used behind firewalls.
No IP logging when you use it. (I had been told this was logged with your login name)
In all fairness both systems work very well, while the PPC kitchen has a more elegant streamlined interface, I do believe the end result is the same, a working ROM the way "I" want it.

Could be because DCD has only a little to do with what we're talking about (which I gave him credit for). That's Bepe's buildos you're looking at, and essentially what we're comparing is Bepe's buildos w/ DCD integrated against PPCKitchen's buildos w/ DCD integrated.
You can't seriously suggest that Bepe's buildos is easier to use - the interface is practically identical! Both are about the same difficulty to use in their most basic, unaltered configurations, and both can build a basic rom w/ 2 clicks. Installing, configuring, starting, and maintaining is a lot different however...the nod hands down goes to ppckitchen there. Once you get past a basic configuration, PPCkitchen's buildos is unchallenged.
The proxy/firewall thing is fixed (general release this weekend) and it doesn't log IPs (never has).
Bepe's buildos get's the nod for no internet connection required, and the previous version (I don't know about v2) get's the nod for Linux compatible. Bepe's buildos also get's the nod for being more interfaceable to other projects and having more projects using it, but none of that is related to the original question (except maybe linux compatibility). [EDIT: v2 isn't native linux compatible, so no nod there.]
All of this is not too suprising, as PPCkitchen's buildos is, at it's core, an evolution of Bepe's Buildos.
I give credit to all sources DCD's kitchen / PPC Geeks kitchen and more.
They both offer the tools to make a ROM to your likings, some better then other, but the fact of the matter is that it gets the job done.
What PPC Geeks version is doing is making a bit more user friendly ( in my opinion ), but I still used DCD's kitchens because I really don't add any extra OEM's to my ROM's unless it is a specifically Themed ROM and then again I can get it done with both kitchens with ease.
I guess users will just have to test them both out themselves to see if they prefer one or the other.
What would be great is if we can have a Modifier / virtual simulator / kitchen where we can find ways to modify our ROM's / PPC's to their best potential ( such as drivers, RAM Management that works / compatibility with different OS and maybe interface change support ).
A virtual simulator to test out all of our modifications by simulating our respective device just as if we were to cook the ROM ( this could save tons of time rather then just flashing all the time or preventing an accidental bricking of your phone)
And a Universal kitchen for practically any Device ( well TITAN at least for our use ) that works on XP, Vista, MAC, and even Linux.
Im sure with all the developers on this forum and on ppcgeeks we would be able to get this done some time in the future.
Just an Idea....

PPCkitchen buildos is actually the closest you can come currently for easily swapping components around, and there's a universal kitchen here on xda that supports many devices (way more devices than PPCkitchen does).

You'll have to elaborate a little better. If I had to guess, however, I'd say that you might have an older version of winrar installed. As a workaround, you can manually extract and modify the selections to use the extracted dir instead of the .rar.
Well, up until now, I have just used DCD's ROM's without customizing then, but I thought I would give the kitchen a shot. So, I downloaded DCD's latest and greatest kitchen of v3.2.2, also downloaded the .Net 2.0 link EXE fil from his page and tried to install it (cause you need it to run the kitchen) but I get an error, says that it is "incompatible with the previously installed version of .net"
so, i tried uninstalling all my .net stuff in add/remove, rebooting, and installing this, and still wont let me. i tried windows update and updated to 3.5, had 1.1 and 2.0 downloads as well, and nothing will work.....net will not install at all, no matter what version.
so i cannot get the kitchen to run...help....?
:: Connor
did you restart the computer? after, did you delete the entire extracted folder of the kitchen and re-extract it? that always works for me.
Using DCD's (BuildOS) Kitchen with Vista
If you have UAC active on Vista here is what I suggest. If you are seeing issues with default.hv, user.hv, boot.hv most likely you have a permissions issue. Delete your extracted directories - Create a Root folder, such as Kitchen - Select Properties of that folder in Explorer - Go to the Security Tab and choose Edit - highlight your Users group and choose full control and then OK. Extract your kitchen files into this location. Logic would tell you that you should be able to just change the permissions on your folder once you extract it - UAC and logic don't necessarilly run together.... So once you've created a Root directory, set the security, extracted the kitchen into this location - run buildNB.bat as you would anything else - good luck.
The same issue applies to Vista and .Net errors (.Net 2.0 is default in Vista)

No it is ok as Bean-town, only used as a verb. Still has the sports connotation, and can be used both offensively and defensively, and in all the sports Boston offers (Hockey, BB, Baseball, Football, etc).
Verb
To bean.
1. To hit with a projectile, accurately.
The pitcher beaned the batter, rather than letting him hit another home run.
Now introducing... the HyperCore Athena ROM Kitchen!
First, though, props to anchillus and his HyperCore kitchen. I took it, and made a few small modifications so that it's built for the Athena instead.
Feature Highlight:
Since this is a full-blown ROM kitchen, you can tweak your own ROM however you like. You can do anything that you've seen other people do with their ROMs! All that customizability is at your disposal.
Prepopulated with Windows Mobile 6.1 from the HTC Diamond (5.2.19915).
Prepopulated with applications from the HTC X7501, HTC X7510, and HTC Diamond.
Pictures are not being posted because you already know what Windows Mobile looks like - it's up to you to make it look pretty.
Installation:
Unzip. The "Core" folder goes in as C:\Core. The "HyperCore" folder can go wherever you like; the default HyperCore installer puts it on your desktop.
If you're on SPL 1.2, you'll need to copy an SPL 1.2 OS.nb on top of HyperCore\Build\ROM\OS.nb.
Instructions:
If you want to get your hands dirty right away without reading through the HyperCore instructions, here's the extremely quick version (if you already know how to handle a ROM kitchen):
Make changes in HyperCore\Build. SYS contains the base Windows Mobile 6.1 files, while OEM contains folders that HTC or you provide.
Once you've tweaked SYS and OEM to your heart's content, under HyperCore\Panel\Build, run BuildOS. You'll need to run [1] and [2] to build OS.nb in HyperCore\Build, and then [3] to convert OS.nb to RUU_signed.nbh.
Flash your ROM onto your phone.
...
...
Profit! (j/k)
If you encounter the endless customization loop problem, edit HyperCore\Build\OEM\OEM_Lang_0409\initflashfiles.dat, then find and remove the section for AutoRun.
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.
During phone calls, the number keypad is active instead of the alphabetic keyboard.
NOTE:
Much as with Athena Project Kitchen, this ROM kitchen is not to be used for releasing ROMs. It's for personal use only. We really don't need twenty-billion ROMs flooding this forum from everybody who wants that one little tweak.
Exceptions can be made for people who have demonstrated a solid history of producing ROMs. Ask if you feel like you have a strong case for why your ROMs need this kitchen. The current exception list: irus.

Fixes/patches:
Attached to this post. Replace:
HyperCore\Tools\RUU\Athena_RUU.exe with the one from Athena_RUU.zip
Core\ACK\Settings.txt (Updated: July 20, 2008)
I'll be adding additional information to the next few posts over the next several days as time permits (and questions pop up).
P.S. The restriction about personal use isn't about elitism. It's about keeping the forum organized. I just don't want to see every other thread in the forum being a ROM release thread, and there's no reason to make sergiopi's job harder by making him keep track of dozens of minimally different ROMs.
Additional OEMs
NOTE: If you're add OEM packages with modules, you will want to run G'Reloc in your HyperCore\Build directory before you run BuildOS.
HTC EzInput 1.5.31226.0/HTC XT9 1.5.31232.0:
A keyboard designed for use with fingers. There are two large button keyboards (portrait and landscape versions), along with a phone keypad keyboard. The portrait/landscape keyboards swap automatically with the screen orientation. Only works properly in 192 dpi.
Megaupload
HTC LongPressEndKey 1.1.33562.2:
A nifty quick menu program that provides a number of convenient functions. A little less useful on the Athena due to, well, the lack of an end key, but potentially useful regardless. Not tested in other resolutions yet, but likely only works properly in 192 dpi.
Megaupload
Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5.7283.00:
Required for running .NET Compact Framework programs. Meant to replace SYS\NetCF.
Megaupload
WkTask 1.1.7.3c:
A task manager that alters the taskbar to function more like that in traditional Windows, in addition to providing a battery bar and task launcher.
Megaupload
If you would like to change your extended ROM to add packages there for automated installation upon hard reset, you can use the extended ROM editor. You can then convert that with Dutty's NBH tool (available in the kitchen in HyperCore\Tools\Convert) and reflash.
Kitchen Tweaks/Suggestions
Additional OEM Packages:
It's quite possible to find OEM packages out there for quite a bit of software, in order to save yourself time in making your own. If you can't find one, though, there are a number of links on how to assemble your own OEM package - for example, there's a wiki article about making your own OEM package, which also has a bunch of links to existing OEM packages. Just be aware that most of the OEM packages you'll find out there are designed for 96 dpi, and thus may not work on the Athena the way you might expect - the Spb applications are a pretty good example of these, as they come with separate VGA resources.
Package Recommendations:
If you're going to make registry changes, it's usually a good idea to make a custom EM package to contain them. I would recommend using the UUID ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff, as that will force it to be the last registry file processed (ensuring that your registry entries "win" over those in any other OEM packages).
Package Dependencies:
PACKAGE_Diamond_Album_HTC_ALL can't function properly without PACKAGE_Diamond_HTCGesture, PACKAGE_Diamond_SensorSDK, and X7510_GSensor
PACKAGE_Diamond_VolumeControl depends upon resources in Diamond_LargeTitleBar
RealVGA_DPI_96 depends upon the *_DPI_96 directories in SYS
RealVGA_DPI_128 depends upon the *_DPI_128 directories in SYS
X7510_AudioManager refers to X7510_AudioBooster (menu option)
X7510_TouchFlo depends upon PACKAGE_Diamond_SmartTouch
PROVXML Changes:
If you want to change how your ROM thinks of itself, change HyperCore\Build\OEM\OEMVERSION\mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml. ROMVersion is currently set to "Athena_6.1", but feel free to change that to whatever you like.
Registry Changes:
Here's a starter list of potential registry changes.
Code:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Cache"="\MicroDrive\Internet Explorer\Cache"
"History"="\MicroDrive\Internet Explorer\History"
Move your Pocket IE cache and history to your MicroDrive.
Code:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000008
Increase the number of simultaneous connections Pocket IE makes to servers to 8.
Code:
[HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374}]
"AEFrequencyType"=dword:00000002
Prevent Windows Mobile from screen-locking while plugged in.
Code:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation]
"4-Way Nav"=dword:00000000
Have Pocket IE-based widgets scroll by screen, not by link.
Code:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Options"=dword:00000000
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
Enable the Today Screen Wireless plugin.
Code:
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]

Go back to sleep faster when auto-waking (60 seconds).
Code:
[HKLM\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]
"limit"=dword:00008000
Increase the graphical caching. A good size has not yet been determined, although this is the value often recommended for QVGA devices (a VGA device likely needs more).
Code:
[HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT]
"CS"=dword:00001000
Increase font caching.
Code:
[HKLM\System\GWE]
"Animate"=dword:00000000
Disable window animation.
Code:
[HKLM\System\GWE\Menu]
"AniType"=dword:00000000

That's the thing, though - it doesn't matter much to me that it displays the XIP/system version there. Now, if other people care enough to go and change that, it's entirely up to them.

Sogarth,
Thanks for introducing this kitchen
When I unzipped the download, I had more than 4000 error displayed. Could I ignore them?
Also, you mentioned that for spl1.2, I need to replace the os.nb in the HyperCore\Build\ROM\ directory. But I found that directory to be empty to start with. Is there supposed to be an spl3.5 os.nb there already?
Is this base ROM the same as the one we have been testing in the base wm6.1 thread?

Blah. I guess that's what I get for using 7-zip + .zip + BZIP to try and keep everything uber-small. I'll rezip everything and re-upload. *sigh*
works for me if you open in the latest 7zip beta proper, rather than right click and extract here.

I'm pretty sure it works for 7-zip - I think it just doesn't work for non-7-zip .zip supporting programs.

Hey all -
If you are looking for build 23025A, please see Post #3.
Here's 23017B. On my initial boot, I have over 29.5 meg free after running Oxios.
WHAT'S NEW IN THIS BUILD:
A new splash screen (thanks to eigerzoom)
Replaced psShutXP with PowerOptions - this has a functioning shutdown feature, and a few other neat tricks
Replaced Oxios Hibernate with the complete Oxios Suite - this also include Oxios Close-Apps, which will free up even more memory (but will close all of your open apps)
DOWNLOAD LINK:
Click here for 23017B (with white taskbar icons)
Click here for 23017B (with a colored taskbar theme)
Here's a list of some of the things I have included:
Memory and battery meter
Updated video drivers
Stock start menu
HTC Task Manager
Advanced Configuration 3.3
Total Commander
nueLED
Oxios Suite (Hibernate and Close-Apps)
PowerOptions
PocketRAR (automatically set as default for .zip and .rar)
AutoRun (UC)
Bluetooth Explorer
Fixed Comm Manager (both in button assignments, and Systems menu)
New splash screens
Built carrier free (see note below)
And a few personal tweaks - skinny scroll bars, ClearType enabled, larger fonts, the old IE set as default, ReplyAll fix and a few other things.
PLEASE NOTE:
This ROM was built carrier free. You MUST install a carrier cab for this to work. Find your carrier cab from here:
Carrier cabs
TO ENABLE MMS:
Here are a few cabs I have found on here and ppcgeeks that should help you enable MMS (multimedia messaging - pictures/video messaging). If any of these do not work, or if you have a better cab or a cab for another carrier, please post your information and I will update the catalog. I cannot vouch whether or not these work and am relying on you to verify. Please make sure you only install the cab designated for your carrier.
MMS cabs
I have also put together a few of my favorite programs that I install afterward to share. Please look through and enjoy!
Ivan's Collection of Handy Programs
Many many thanks to bbsandkm, mattsm, TPlane37, Joojoobee666, the PPCK team, the authors of all of the cabs linked from this post (I take no claim or responsibility for them) and everyone else who helped me along the way.
Click here to chat with us on our IRC Channel if you need immediate assistance.
Any changes either major/minor now that we've moved to the 23xxx build number?
Any fun screenshots or just the same old stuff?
Until I feel these latest builds have become fleshed out enough to become stable, I will keep them here in the third post. Please keep in mind that anything from this post is not entirely functional and meant as a preview only. I recommend having a stable ROM handy to revert back to after you are done testing.
The current build is 23025A. I have 4 different versions available for you. For the most part, the builds include the exact same programs and tweaks as the builds in Post #1. Here are the links and differences:
23025A - white taskbar icons & no HTC Task Manager
23025A - colorful taskbar icons & no HTC Task Manager
23025A - white taskbar icons & yes HTC Task Manager
23025A - colorful taskbar icons & yes HTC Task Manager
Please keep in mind that having the HTC Task Manager in these new builds is a double-edged sword. It works partially, but causes some distortion in the top taskbar; that is why you have the option to use it or not.

Good for you Mr boner.
While the chef's keep changing, thankfully they pass along their recipes. So the final meal keeps getting better and better.
Welcome to the cooking club!
Here's my 23003 build! It's includes very similar programs and tweaks from my previous, but I have removed the Adobe PDF Reader. Download, flash and enjoy!

i want outlook to have a "Reply" instead of "reply to all" on the bottom left, i had a 6.5 build a few months ago, and it was the "reply to all" which sucks..
thanks

I agree it sucks. I'll look into a fix and see what I can do (but I was under the impression it is actually built in to poutlook.exe, so I'm not sure if there is anything that I actually can do).
OK, I fixed the Reply All issue. If you want to replace the left softkey in Outlook from Reply All to simply Reply, it's a simple reg edit that will go into my next ROMs. In the meantime, here's the edit and a cab which will do it for you:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Services\OutlookEnhancement]
"Dll"=""
Enjoy!
Good find and good share man! I will be throwing that in as well. Who wants to reply to all lmao. What a dumb feature. I could see if you could select a few messages then click reply all but..

No problem. I just put this up on my ppcgeeks thread and was going to send you a link. Glad you saw!

I have kept the same programs from 23003, added the ReplyAll fix and added AutoRun (UC).
Enjoy and please post feedback!
Please forgive me if this is a dumb question, I have been searching the forum trying to find out what to do with this .nbh file. But I cant figure it out... I found some things on google but Im not sure and I dont want to brick my phone. please advise.

No problem. If you have never flashed before, please be sure to read the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome
It has some fantastic information and will guide you through all the necessary steps to unlock your phone, upgrade the radio (if needed) and load a new ROM.
I have the .nbh named TITAIMG.nbh because that is what's needed for an SD card flash. If you'd prefer to use the ROM Update Utility (available in the link I pasted above), you will need to rename the nbh to RUU_Signed.nbh.
Also, if you are a carrier other than Alltel, you will need to install the proper carrier cab for your provider. You can pick that up from here:
http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/titan/carriers/
Hope that helps!
Ivan
So does this rom that I got at the beginning of this thread have the radio included? If not, which should I get and from where...
I read that thread you sent me to but theres alot of information that just makes me confused.
I have an alltel ppc6800 with WM 6.1 stock. I only want the rom with 6.5 that I found in this thread.
Im not sure what chef is or a kitchen, except for the obvious...

First, a "kitchen" is a program used to create ROMs. A "chef" is a person such as myself who uses the kitchen to create ROMs.
Second, custom ROMs do not contain radios. Make sure you have a 3.x radio. Personally, I use the 3.42.50 (the latet radio made available for our phones). You can check your radio version in Start -> Settings -> System -> Device Information. If you need to upgrade your radio, go here and download the latest Alltel ROM (which does contain the radio):
http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=63&cat=2&dl_id=114
You will need to re-unlock your phone afterwards.
Third, make sure you understand everything on that wiki I sent. It is extremely important that you understand what you are doing to your phone when you unlock/upgrade. There is the potential for this to either go great and you will be very happy...or for this to not work out well at all and damage your phone if you make mistakes. I'll do what I can to help explain things, but we need to make sure you understand.
Here is another important page to read:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanForBeginners
Also, please note that you will lose all of the data on your phone. Make sure you backup any contacts, calendar items, etc by using available programs. I prefer PimBackup (http://www.dotfred.net/). Also, make sure you have any cabs you may need to re-install your desired programs after upgrading.
I started the Bootloader update utility and now im stuck at the tri-colored screen. it says SPL-2.40.Olipro CPLD-9 the dos window dissapeared at this point...
I read somewhere I need to disable activesyne and run a program ~ http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9229 ~ and that should take care of it but i cant figure out how to disable activesync in vista.

That SPL means your phone is unlocked. Congratulations. Now flash the radio (if necessary) or the new ROM. You're on the right track! And don't disable activesync.
Edit - Vista doesn't even have ActiveSync. We Vista users have Windows Mobile Device Center.
I cant get it to go past the tri colored screen though...
I haven't updated my bootloader in almost a year, so I'm a little rusty. But here are a few things to try:
If you are flashing from the USB, take out your SD card. If you are flashing from SD card, take out the USB cord. It's preferable to flash via SD card if you have one that is compatible.
If that doesn't work, what happens when you try to run the exit bootloader program from the thread you linked?
Ok, I figured it out thanks to you. It was just waiting for the new Rom..
Thanks for your help..
