After venturing to 6.5 for 2 weeks now I realized its too buggy and the only difference between 6.5 and 6.1 is the start menu and buggy new lockslider. The boot-time for 6.5 is also significantly longer than 6.1. I was wondering if any of the chefs are going to venture back to 6.1. I'd love to see a 6.1 rom based on the new 5.11 official HTC update but have yet to find one.

Both official updates (5.11 Fuze and 5.10 Vodaphone) are running fast and stable. But all cooked ROMs are even faster and lighter than originals. I wish someone talented prepared a kitchen based on newest 6.1 builds...

Was it supposed to be a kind of advertisement? As far as I remember Monx went commercial, and his ROMs (apart from being great) are no longer free.

HTH,
[WM6.1 FuZE] Tyr0 v3.0.0
Here is own personal one, its mainly a fuze rom, but you can definately change the carrier with the connection setup found in Start->Settings->Connections. I have been cooking roms for a few years now, starting in the Hermes forums. I haven't released any of mine here because there are plenty of great chefs doing it for the Raphael. But since wm 6.1 does seem to be a fading trend, like you mentioned, I just thought I'd share mine.
Here's what it contains:
Code:
(OEM folders)

Most of these packages are straight from the most recent HTC Fuze Official Rom, with only the exception of a few. Reason I didn't change much, is for stability purposes. 5.2.20771 OS/XIP. This rom doesn't have the bells and whistles other roms have but it's my own custom rom built to be fast and as stable as possible. I am running on this on my phone and my nephews phone. Again, it was built for the Fuze, but probably will be fine for the any GSM Raphael. GSM PHONES ONLY!
Disclaimer #1: I take no credit for any of these packages, they are readily available on xda here. I just put them all together for my own use. I give credit to the packages' respective creators, but there's just too many to list. Thanks to all who are helping contribute to our community.
Disclaimer #2: I take no responsibility for what this rom may do to your phone. Although it is quite fast and stable, please use at your own risk.

What no 6.1 Roms your kidding.
I'll Consider Adjusting my personal Rom a bit for the Public, but it's packed with **** you wont see in any other rom.
So if there's enough people that actually agree that newer OS versions don't mean anything at all and actually like to get involved in helping out make something SPeCial i Might just do that.
Also don't get why so many Roms are using the same iconset?
Naah forget i ever mentioned it, i don't want to change, what i, as a crippled old user, think is functional, into something that someone else thinks is cool.
Try the Mentioned 6.1 Kitchen, you will have a Rom in 5 minutes without Changing anything to the setup.
And maybe a few days later when you find yourself not using specific stuff you remove that and flash again.
Happy Cooking campers

I don't see any adds. I've donated Monx, like many other chiefs. You should look for topic, where Monx explained everything about his decision.
Many ppl are suggesting commercial software as the answer for the question. Will You go to all those topics and tell them this same? Maybe You should go to Olipro, and say him: "go away with Your SecurityUnlock, because its not free. This is XDA - all should be free."
You are taking something - You are suppose to give something.
This was simple answer, for the simple question. Monx still supports WM 6.1. Yes. If You wanna get his rom, You have to donate him. You own 500 GBP phone, so even 5 GBP donation, will not kill You. If You don't like it, thats ok. There are many WM 6.5 roms, and 6.1 kitchens.
All chiefs are spending pice of thier lifes cooking roms. I'm respecting all of them. You can say simple Thank You, or You can do something more.... Decision is Yours
@Mods
Excuse me, for this offtop. I hope You understand my pov.

First off, I need to thank everyone on this site for the wealth of information that is contained here. I took my stock XV6800 and walked through several tutorials and I've put on 4 different ROM's in 2 days, all of them with the GPS functioning like a champ and everything on the phone running swimmingly.
A special thanks to mr-free for his prompt responses and dcd for his excellent guides.
Anyway, I've already used two kitchens so far to make custom roms (Titan Kitchen 6.5 Beta 4, and Titan Reloaded 1.3.2). Both create very usable ROM's but there's aspects of each that I like better than the others. Since Kitchen 6.5 uses WM 6.5, I'd like to start with that one, but there are several OEM packages that I would like to add to it from Titan Reloaded, as well as a couple of other ones that I've found from the web.
And so I'm not flamed, I have searched and found the following information about Alex's Cooking Kits helpful, but still not completely sufficient to answering my questions:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser ROM Kitchen Tutorial
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Alex's Cooking Kits
And on to the questions:
1) Is it possible to just copy the folders from the OEM folder of the Titan Reloaded 1.3.2 kitchen into the OEM folder of the 6.5 Beta 4 Kitchen and have them show up in the "BuildOS" menu?
2) Are the instructions in Alex's Cooking Kits applicable to the Titan? Its geared towards the Kaiser, and I couldn't find anything that would lead me to believe it is compatible with the Titan. If not, is there a "Cooking Kit" suitable for the Titan?
I'm not to the point where I'm capable of creating my own OEM packages, but I'm gunning for that too eventually. No questions on that though...yet.
The only question I can help with is your first. The OEM packages from Titan Reloaded 1.3.2 should be able to be copied into pretty much any kitchen.
Note that the Manila_2d_Scott OEM from Titan Reloaded kind of depends on the SYS\dcd_UCAutorun package, as it installs the first M2D theme from CAB at boot. This may be fixed in later versions by making a seperate config.txt for m2d. That way the OEM package will be more portable.
Note that the Youtube package from Titan Reloaded also requires the YTFIX package, but those will hopefully be merged in later versions.
Other than that, you just need to watch out for conflicting packages. Usually buildos will give you errors if this happens, so you'll know.
Awesome, that's really helpful.
Actually m2d is not something I was planning on keeping anyway. I'm moving from a Samsung i760 (dreadfully unhackable) but in an attempt to make it more usable, I actually paid for SPB Mobile Shell, and SPB Phone Suite. I've gotten quite addicted to using them and I don't find m2d to be a sufficient replacement for primarily the lack of ring profiles. Ring/Vib/Silent just isn't enough for me. (And PhoneAlarm doesn't have what I need either.)
What I was looking to move though was:
Adobe Reader 2.5
YouTube (with the YTFIX, now, obviously)
HTC Album
Tweak_Volume_Higher
no2chem_nueExtROM
There aren't any dependencies there that I need to be aware of, are there?
I couldn't find Google Maps in the OEM folder from Titan Reloaded but its no big deal, I can download it I guess.
I guess I should have mentioned that to use the no2chem_nueExtROM package, you'll need to add these lines to the bottom of ROM\XIP\boot.rgu.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ EXT_FLASHDRV]
"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"
"Name"=""
"PartitionDriver"=""
"MountHidden"=dword:0
"Folder"="Extended_ROM"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ EXT_FLASHDRV\FATFS]
"FormatTFAT"=dword:1
"EnableWriteBack"=dword:1
"EnableCache"=dword:0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ EXT_FLASHDRV]
"DriverPath"="Drivers\\BuiltIn\\EXT_FLASHDRV"
"LoadFlags"=dword:1
"Order"=dword:12
"Bootphase"=dword:2
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\EXT_FLASHDRV]
"Profile"="EXT_FLASHDRV"
"Index"= dword:1
"Dll"="OEM_FLASHDRV.dll"
"Prefix"="DSK"
"Order"=dword:13
"IClass"=multi_sz:"{A4E7EDDA-E575-4252-9D6B-4195D48BB865}"
It's possible that this is what's causing some people problems with Titan Reloaded 1.3.2 though. If you've already used Titan Reloaded 1.3.2, you probably don't have to worry about this. It might not even be the cause though. Most people are having no problems with it.
Also, based on someone's post in the 6.5 ROM thread, you'll likely want to remove this file from the kitchen before adding in an adobe reader package:
SYS\OEMAPPS\ppc_adobereaderle.exe
Titan Reloaded installs GoogleMaps from CAB during customizations. Since Google is likely to upgrade the app often, I'd recommend that you just download it and install like you said.
Those are the only caveats I can think of for the packages that you mentioned.

Heh, I've got a little more patience than "Give it to me now!" but yes, this does sound very nice. The omission of Office was also something that was really bugging me about 6.5.
In the meantime I ended up playing around with PPCkitchen and WOW are there a lot of packages. Too many actually. It takes me 15 minutes to go through them all. The build I'm running today is pretty good, but I still wish I was running WM6.5. I'm sure I'll come across your ROM once you've got it uploaded. XDA is rapidly becoming one of my favorite sites (and not to mention a huge time sink!!)
Anyone can add office to 6.5. Just get the oem from BuildOS and put it in the oem folder for beta 4,
Wow, its that easy huh?
I think I'll just do that then! This place rules!
Thanks to all the awesome chefs out there!
I am currently running Ryan Moguls build 21501 (With NueKernel High memory)
I have 25mb of ram free at boot, and throughout the day with Activesync Exchange syncing and the hundreds of texts I sometimes get.. It goes as low as 11mb - 12mb.
This rom is stable and fast. I have found a few minor bugs but nothing serious.
I would like to upgrade to a newer build. Can I get some suggestions on the newest most stable version to go with. I use it for work and I'm on call 24X7. So it needs to work reliably. Any suggestions?
After testing a bunch of roms... i like 23017. Does anyone know of a 23017 build with the vogue / touch dialer cooked in?

Here I havent tried it but I am sure it works. Vogue dialer in CAB form. Now this uses its own ResOver/Bitmaps BaseDll. Some carriers on custom ROMs work best when using a specific one. For example Cricket works best when using the Override_VZW.dll. So if anything funny happens with anyone that tries this you may need to re-assign your original BaseDll. Here is the registry location to backup. With the value names.

how is this rom compared to tom's 2.06 (tf3d 2.1) rom?
for me tom's 2.06 is the best from regular (not m2.5) roms, everything works good, very stable, pretty fast and no bugs at all.
the main difference is 2.06 vs 2.08, this can be felt in some way?
anyone tried them both & can compare?
10x.

I've tried both. I like Tom's ROM and used it for some time but the Facebook integration always caused Touchflo to restart for me, this doesn't happen on Dutty's.
Therefore I prefer Dutty's Had no crashes, very stable and a few other tweaks I like.
Downside is having to add a lot of CAB's to get the look that I want but this is down to a. my personal preference and b. my inability to make things myself!
Hi do anybody know how to change to 3 rows instead of 4 rows for dutty rom? Tried tom's cab but it doesn't work. Screw up the start menu display.

On the other hand, installing a new keyboard is about the easiest thing you can do. Ezinput, FingerKeyboard or others...
Well worth it if you're otherwise happy with the ROM. I've never ever had a custom ROM that's been exactly the way I like it. But I don't complain about it, I fix it.
i would like to switch off "vibrate when keys are pressed", but i can't find the setting?!
some one please explain difference between MSVC and non MSVC versions
i tried to search but found its something with linux or c++ i don't know any of them how this difference seen to user?
all previous roms are with or without MSVC?
MSVC is Microsoft Voice Command (or Control ?) which gives you the abilty to operate your phone by voice commands.

You are right about that one
Anyway how about Page rotation on this Rom?It's just for me or there is nothing like that ever there?
I don't like the new Acrobat reader,you can't view pages completely as full screen,I'm sure Dutty will take care of these few things pretty soon.
Is this bug with weak signal indication? I can see no more than 2 bars.
I read about similar problem with udK's Leo ROM. And there was problem with icons file, as I can remember.
With udK's R6 and Shadowlines 6.5 Stable there was no signal strength problems (radio the same).
And thanks for great ROM. I think, that you must name it R1, not R0. It is solid and fast.

Just install the attached fix (official from HTC), it will improve the signal indication.
Extract and run the exe from SD card => soft reset => enjoy

OK, thanks. It works.
Hope, this fix will be included into new release.
I am on Tmobile and live in Lincolnshire, so have never enjoyued great signals. However, I genuinely think that this ROM is brilliant. I have yet to come across a bug.
If I'm being a picky arse, I would like the Wireless to be on demand, but this is being picky.
I think this ROM is very fast indeed and this mythical beast, 'dutty', has got a new fan...Excellent
I have been using udK's R6 before but now tried this one.
Good experience. The hotfix fixed the signalbar thing.
Don't like the File explorer ex version though.
The wifi seems to stay on all the time and does not automatically disconnect when not in use, even tough it is set up that way. Anyone got this too? Drains the battery pretty fast....
sms notification doesn't seem to work in stand by either...
This is my first attempt at cooking a ROM, driven by the desire to fix the HTC messaging application. Therefore, there may be some imperfections but it works for me! Thanks go out to the OSKitchen and many threads on here about cooking.
This ROM is built from the official 2.53 ROM but with Manila from the Touch Pro 2. Someone decided to write that version of Manila to use the WM messaging with the Sense 2.1 style messaging interface Arcsoft MMS is cooked in for MMS functionality. The SMSRetry service is included so messages can sent without coverage with the phone sending when coverage is found.
Pagepool is set at 20MB as this seems to produce a very smooth ROM. Although not cooked in, I've used TD2 Tools 3 to increase file system caches, graphics caches and several other tweaks and it is now very smooth!

When using COM5 (6.5.5) I recommend MMTaskmanager.

This is my first attempt at cooking a ROM, driven by the desire to fix the HTC messaging application. Therefore, there may be some imperfections but it works for me! Thanks go out to the OSKitchen and many threads on here about cooking.

Stock 2.53 ROM has OS 5.2.21887 build, Manila 2.5.20121324.1
Updated with OS and Manila versions.
Thanks BeeGee, your mirror has proved invaluable as HTC, Rapidshare, etc always seems to fail just as I want to download a ROM.
Will try to post some screenshots later (prob tomorrow now) but it really is just stock Windows 6.5 / Manila 2.5 but with 2.1 style messaging (and WM messaging of course). I haven't changed any styling.
Craig
Stock ROM with updated OS and Manila ? Exellent, but official have 21887 bulid , not 21877... Question: Have Manila 2.5.20121331.0 or 2.5.20121324.1 like write in first post ? Have it Recent Document Tab on Manila Home Today ? Because for me docu is very important...
Thanks
Regards

The first post is correct, its 21887 and it has Manila 2.5.20121324.1 BeeGee's post was before I posted the OS and Manila ver.
No, it hasn't got the Document tab i'm afraid.. I think it can be added through a cab though.. [EDIT] Have a read through this.. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Manila%20Tutorial%20Two

Hi Craig,
I have flashed your ROM. It looks good so far. Original Windows Mobile messaging works great.
Otherwise, it looks pretty the same as recently published original HTC ROM with Sense 2.5. There is also missng HTC task manager button on Today's screen. But I have installed attached cab and it is patched now.
In general, it seems to be a good piece of work and great idea to bypass original HTC messaging. I
Many thanks.
Monsoon
Thanks Monsoon78, finally Sense 2.5 on our Topaz is usable!
Yeah, i've installed the task manager is on my device too, quite why they left it out i don't know.. I shall hopefully post some useful cabs this evening (as well as some screenshots!).
Craig
I'm using a french HTC 6.5 sense 2.5 rom, have you a fix for MS SMS and T9 ?
No, I'm afraid it had to be cooked into the rom. I don't think it can be made into a cab.
I haven't worked out the T9 words issue yet..
Craig
I was looking for a stock Rom with WM messaging for a long time I was considering to cook one but time isn't too much
Many many thanks craiglay
Interesting issue, My service provider, O2 UK was blocking some of my MMS being sent to my phone, giving me a message that I cannot receive that type of MMS. Turns out this is a size issue, I could send / receive small MMS!
Turns out this is due to my provider not recognising my phone and sending it as basic as possible (compatibility mode) Quote: Here from O2 Forum
A Google search shows that setting it to an N95 seems to fix it. Quote: Here, with solution
So, in a registry editor:
HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ Arcsoft \ Arcsoft MMS UA \ Config \ mm1 \ WspHeader
User-Agent: NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
x-wap-profile: "http://nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml"
and all is good!!
Craig
Can't believe this thread only has 2 pages. Doesn't everyone using 2.5 currently affected? Is this the best solution craig?
I know, maybe everyone just lives with 2.5 style messaging or the various cab hacks. I also believe several other ROM's have integrated 2.1 messaging (EnergyRom is one I believe) but they are heavily customised to the author. I prefer to start with a pretty standard ROM and customise it to my liking.
Its really just a personal project that I've shared with the community. I customise it further myself.
Regarding the best solution, I don't know. I would prefer the HTC Messaging application over WM messaging but I personally can not live with the lagging. The cab hacks work, but from experience can have notification / SMS bubble issues. The Manila version here has been written (by HTC or OEM) to use WM messaging natively which is what makes it different.
Craig
Hi,
I just wanted to add my experience with Craiglay's ROM. The stability seems to be good. After 5 days of testing, I haven't encountered any major issues except the one, which is common to last official HTC ROM. This ROM has PAGE POOL 20 MB which seems to improve the performance compared to official HTC release. Battery drain is not bad. I am quite addicted to the phone, so one may can achieve even better results. I use lot of email synchronization, RSS channels and have 3G enabled. My battery runs out in about 36 hours. One important remark, I run it with radio 4.49.25.17
With regards to the bugs, as Craiglay has already indicated in the post #1, there is an issue with T9 dictionary, because new words are neither permanently stored in the memory, nor they are inserted into to the text, when you add them manually. This is a bit annoying since you need to retype the word once again and teach the dictionary all the time, when you reboot the device. I wonder if there is any solution for this bug ?
Inspite of this bug, I plan to stay with this ROM.
Thanks.
Radim
Thanks for the review Monsoon78! I run it with Radio 4.49.25.91 which works well.
Unfortunately I have been unable to sort out the T9 issue I've tried a few different versions and the suggestions Here but still looking into it.
I have however an updated ROM with Manila 2012.1412 with Sense 2.1 / WM messaging. It also includes the Document and ereader tabs, no Sprint branding and cool animated rotating effects in Albums and Music.
If testing goes ok over the weekend, i'll upload the ROM soon.

Cool!! Unfortunately I've dropped the eReader, Document tab and Footprints as there were too many issues and battery drain was HUGE!! You could still hack in the tabs if you really want them with the link i posted above.
New Manila 2012.1412 is still there and Photo's and Music cool animation is still in. Will test for a few days and see how it goes.
Sorry for the delay!! Please appreciate I want to release something good with few bugs!

Alee's HTC Titan/XV6800/Mogul ROM - Build 23569
Notes: Your phone must be unlocked. I use Olipro 2.40. You also have to have a GPS radio installed. I use version 3.42.50. Please read up on flashing roms for the Titan if this is your first time. I'm not responsible for you breaking/bricking/making your phone unusable. Use at your own risk!
I will include a Verizon ROM and a Carrierless ROM. Should work with DCD's carrier cabs, but I have no way to test. Please let me know if it works!
6.5.X ROM 23569 - Verizon - Updated 5/23/10

6.5.X ROM 23569 - No Carrier - Updated 5/23/10
http://www.4shared.com/file/pxK7WmZh/ALEE23569NCV2.html
This is a WM6.5 ROM for the Titan. I've started cooking a rom for this device because it seems like other ROMs don't update with new builds too often anymore. This 6.5 ROM is designed to be light and useable everyday.
It has 23MB of free RAM in low memory mode, and about 29MB of free RAM in high memory mode(no camera) while using ActiveSync. It runs stable and has 119MB free memory for programs/files.
In order to save memory and resources, some packages have been removed. This means that not all features are available or will not work with this ROM. If it's not included in the ROM, and somebody asks for the feature, I'll do my best to provide a method to install the features in the future.
This is a work in progress, and it's not for everybody. Some things just don't work, but the things that work run well.
I'm going to try to support this ROM as best as I can, but I'm not a pro at this. Alot of my work has been trial and error and reading through the forums to fix my mistakes. I will probably try to keep up with updates until January of 2011, where I'll be able to get a Touch Pro 2 with Verizon's new every two.
The ROM generated thanks to the PPCKitchen.org project. I think it's a great utility that helps a normal person like me cook a custom ROM. Feel free to give their utility a try if you want to cook your own ROM.
Additionally, thanks to all the developers who have publicly provided fixes/patches/updates/programs to the Titan world. Most are long gone and have moved on to better phones, but I wouldn't still be using my XV6800 without their work.

hi alex,
nice to know theres any update ROM for Mogul.
I'll try it
thanks
gonna test it out. Sounds good though. Thanks
New Version
Updated the ROM today. I cleaned up the Titanium registry entries and it seems to have made the Titanium screen snappier and smoother. I also put in some reg entries that are supposed to help the 6.5 memory leak issues. Seems to work well enough for now.
Calculator Replacement
Since you're already doing a Calculator Replacement, I'd submit that you consider using the program 'Eval' ( www .dl-c.com/PPC/ )
I've been using it for many years going back to pre-phone pdas and I think it works better then the built-in, and possibly better then the HTC version (though I can't guarantee that)
check it out and let me know what you think
souns good imma try it right now. is there a way you can build one with cricket arcsoft and wap built in if possible
Can't use WiFi
thanks for this rom! i really like it!
but just one problem which it cannot use wifi as before.
would you mind telling me how to solve this?
thank you very much!
@915Tibby.
I have no idea what cricket is, but if you send me a link to a thread with the files and some sort of instructions, I'll give it try.

Wifi works for me...can you describe where you run into problems when you try to connect?
hello everybody!
Im really new here so i was wondering....
Is there a reason I should be using this ROM instead of Ryan Mogul's WM6.5 light ROM? "forum.xda-developersdotcom /showthread.php?t=496982" (without the space, hyphens and switch the 'dot' with a period .)
Is this one better? Is this one more "up to date" and does it work better than Ryan Moguls WM6.5 light ROM?
THANKX!!!
I've never used Ryan's roms so I don't know what is better or not. It seems that rom is based on an older build of windows 6.5 where mine is built on the newest 6.5.5 build. The newer build has some graphical enhancements that are designed to be more finger friendly (larger buttons, start menu on bottom.)
Based on his include list, it seems like he includes more things in his ROM. I cooked my rom based on having the bare essentials and every user can install his own extras based on their preferences.
The best way to check is to try them both out and see which one is more appropriate for you.
hey i just flashed your verizon rom to my phone, and it didn't work.
Never mind! I got it working! GREAT ROM! THANX BUNCHES!!! Oh and btw, yours is much better than Mr. Ryan Moguls!
thanks for the reply

i am in China,but 23566 rom works very well for me,i mean wifi,everything.
thank you very much!
Thank you! One thing...
Thanks so much for doing this. I really appreciate getting some new life into an old device, it feels like cheating! Anyway, I have one minor nitpick. I'm a GNU/Linux user, and had trouble opening the archive because .rar is a proprietary format. Would you consider using a zip archive next time? Thanks again!
I will upload the ROM as a zip next time.
