As I mentioned, the OS version is still 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4). This will be my only work on WM6. Maybe the softwares will still be updated in the future.
I've done those changings:
- Used Adobe Reader LE 2.5 instead of ClearValuePDF, and updated to the latest build 103401.01
- Used Jbed instead of Jblend, and the build of Jbed is 20080610.2.1
- Updated .NET Compact Framework from 2.0 to 3.5
- Updated the Windows Live for Windows Mobile from version 10.6.0033.0600 to 10.6.0034.0800
- Added OneNote Mobile into Office Mobile
- Added China, Hong Kong and other options in Regional Settings
- Removed the HTC Enlarge Start Menu (It will be included again in my WM6.1 modified ROMs)
- Removed .NET Compact Framework v3.5 Messages CHT for Windows Mobile
- Customer Feedback is placed back
My first WM6.1 ROM has been finished. Come here if you are interested in it.
Remember, I'm just a beginning-level cook. Please don't just leave swearing posts if there is something wrong... Thanks.
Instruction: Just flash my ROM like what you've done for medkid's.

In my opinion, MWG Atom Life WM6 ROM WWE_020108_B2_DS is a very stable rom. I never find the major problem with this rom before.
However, the only problem that I really concern is the RAM of this rom is too low. So if you can include the RAM management program (Oxios CloseApps) in your rom, that would be good. And if you can make this rom have more RAM, that would be the best.
One more request for you to consider, the software that make flash of ATOM Life to be torch is very useful too.
That all from my side. However, if you just post your rom like you talk. I am also still interesting in your rom.
Thanks, mate. Over 100 views and you posted the first response...
Yes, I agree you point. But my target of cooking is to only make ROMs that very like the official ROM. I won't add anymore other new softwares that do not come from Microsoft or MWg or O2 in order to keep the ROM stable. I will only exchange the softwares that I think they're useless.
Anyway, I'll think about how to reduce more memory consumtion. I've thought about that and you gave me the push. I'll find methods to do that. Thanks mate.
Hi aa125690.
great to hear that we have another budding cook amidst us. Please do post your ROM so that we cn test it and notify you of any bugs or crashes. Together we all can help improve ROM development. As Frioniel said torch and oxios close apps are very important applications. Also please try to reduce the pagepool to increase more free RAM. Personally I never used MWG ROM, because I always go for newer builds
Even Medkid's 6.1.0.9 is very stable for me. TM2's 22070 ROM had some issues like restarting when battery nears 40%, lesser battery life.
One more thing, if you could also provide the option for regional settings for many other countries as an add on option later on.
My 2 cents.

I am using T2M's, but no restarting issue. I see that you are using a 4G miniSD. I am wondering if you have any problem like me - when you go \start menu\program\games (I install games on SD card), it will cause the system paused for 2 to 3 minutes, for the first time after soft reset. This applies to all ROMs I have tried. Same thing happens if using file explorer to access the \start menu\program\games folder for the first time after soft reset. However, it will be ok then. It will reduce the pause time to less than a minute for 2G, and un-noticeable with 1G.
Any good idea or suggestion? Thank you.
O.S.

Same here. Been using v6.1.0.9 for sometime now. Ram and battery is quite important for me. The battery can go down to as low as 9% without shutdown. See screenshot.

Because other guys have already posted the modified high-level ROMs, I'll only create stable WM6 and WM6.1 ROMs as unofficial "pre-officialp)" ROMs at the moment. I'll modify WM6.1 ROMs after that. But I prefer to make the "pre-official" version first.
I use the wince.nls file from medkid's ROM, so if you find the option you want in Regional Settings in medkid's ROM, you won't be failed to find that in mine.
By the way, I'm still doing some update and upgrade works on my ROM. And if anybody has suggestion about where I should upload, please tell me.
Maniac2403, thanks for suggestion. I think you could be a cook better than me(maybe you've already been a cook). Rom cooking is a quite easy job if you study and work hard. Really.

I've made a ROM modified from the official MWG Atom Life WM6 ROM WWE_020108_B2_DS. Just changed something necessary in order to make it become more usable and keep it stable. So, the OS version is still 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4). My work on WM6 will always stick on this version, as it may be the most stable ROM for Atom Life.
I've done those changings:
- Use Adobe Reader LE 2.5 instead of ClearValuePDF
- Use Jbed instead of Jblend, and the build of Jbed is 20080610.2.1
- Add OneNote Mobile into Office Mobile
- Add China, Hong Kong and other options in Regional Settings
- Customer Feedback is hided
I'm actually still trying to upgrade the Internet Explorer Mobile from version 7.6 to 7.11, and the Windows Live for Windows Mobile from version 10.6.0033.0600 to 10.6.0034.0800. And I may not work for WM6 anymore after that. I'll start trying to build WM6.1 ROMs, and try to keep them as stable as the official WM6 ROM at the same time.
Who's interested in it? If someone wants stable ROMs, I'll upload my ROMs. The one I've just made works stably in my Atom Life.
Remember, I'm just a beginning-level cook. Please don't just leave swearing posts if there is something wrong... Thanks.

Do u come from Hong Kong ?
I want to know that if u have a situation like this: the device becomes very slow after using FM radio for sometime, provided that the device is using official WM6 rom. However, there is no such problem when it is using official WM5 rom.
I have take the device to the CS to check if there is any problem. But they only help me to flash the rom again. The problem still sticks with me.
Anyway, thx for ur great contribution

Hehe.. I tried cooking, don't know what went wrong
Would try again when I have free time though. I still haven't got how to port my own XIP instead of using other XIP's.
Anyways you can build a 'Vanilla' ROM for Atom Life, as there are none of these kinds.
Regarding upload. Anywhere except rapidhshare
Also regional settings are hard to comy by for India . Any tricks up your sleeve for it ?

Yea I use a 4GB card by Sandisk When I had got the card I had formatted it to Fat32 using a Win98 machine. You know the 'format' in command
Normally when I reboot my phone, I remove the MiniSD out of its slot. The delay happens under two circumstances.
1. Programs installed on the storage card
Reading from storage card takes a lil more time as compared to Main memory which is a flash memory. So more the memory more time it would take to sort through all files.
2. Fragmented files on the card
You can plug the card to your home computer and defragment it once in a while. That should speed up performance.

Hi all,
This is a new test build of WM 6.5. the honeycomb in this version is a bit diferent.
I made this ROM only for test as these builds of wm6.5 are all beta. So use it at your own risk. In my device it worked very well.
Remember to do a soft reset after flash.
PS. It's for old gene. I don't plan to release it for new gene but ROM is unprotected so feel free to port it to new gene or modify its contents.
Thanks to Ankit for the sources.

@Guys : Is this a fully loaded or lite version?
Downloading now ...
Thanks for new build...
Will give F/B very soon...
Hey Ramerson, i am also working on this build for new gene, i too took XIP and SYS from Ankit's source. I have a great ROM at hand, with only two problems:
1. On connecting data cable, when passthru internet connection is established, the phone hangs. Touchscreen is responsive but software is not. If backlight becomes dim and i touch the screen it lits up, but nothing works untill a soft reset.
2. NO 3rd party keyboard is working. I am using IOLite Ezinput keyboards which are working fabulously on my previous rom.I tried installing other keyboards too, nothing worked. On selecting any keyboard from SIP menu, the default keyboard comes up.
Apart from these, th ROM is working fabulously well on my new gene.

build 21198 has this issue wait for 212xx
Thanks for the reply Ankit.But buddy, when i first created a test build of this ROM with old internet explorer, the keyboard did worked. But the new widgets and even sms work on new IE so i had to put it back. But after that, these problems came into picture. I cannot undestand what is happening. Lets see if there is anything i could do, otherwise will have to wait.
BTW, the only thing i liked about the WM 6.5 is the new look of scrollbars, titlebars etc and the Titanium TOday plugin. Its really very good and alllows information display along with letting the user enjoy his/her wallpaper too.
Start menu of this build is good but it lacks the recent applications area which was very useful.
If i can get titanium on WM 6.1, i will be more than happy

Hi Sumit,
This build has some improvements from old ones, but it still have some issues. I made it only for test because i didn't build any wm6.5 yet. Have you checked if bluetooth works? Fuguru reported it didn't work. I checked other roms with the same build and found that they also have similar problems.
I'll wait for the next build to update this ROM (I hope this errors don't appear again).
at least this build is fast.
For now i agree with Ankit, it is not worth wasting time with this build.

Yes the build has good improvements, the fluidness of Titanium as well as scrolling of new Start Menu is great. Bluetooth, i didn't checked, i had to go somewhere so i flashed back my ProUsers ROM and did a SKTools restore just now. Anyways, non working keyboard is enough reason for me to stay away from this as i cannot live without the IOLite keyboards, i do a lot of sms and email typing.

Thats what i have been saying since the development started on this. The beta builds have debug mode code with them, so they are not worth wasting the time, other than learning purpose. I'll make a true ROM only when RTM arrives. But ya, Ankit has done some good work on these Betas.
@all: For the users who are using Ramerson's kitchen for WM 6.5 ROM building, i would like to point out one thing. It uses GReloc in between the build process so the kitchen wont work like it use to.
You will first need to divide packages into smaller sub groups (in sub folder i mean) and then run a full greloc on it. If it still gives error "Integer Overflow", then dont close the Greloc window, press the Doit button once again. This time it will show you the path of the module which is causing error. Go to that module folder and delete the .tmp file there. This will be locked so you will need to use something like unlocker (http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/) to unlock the file. AFter that, again press Do It button and it will do the relocating without problems. In my case the problematic file was htmlnote.dll in SYS\Redist folder.
Once i did that, old Greloc worked fine. WMreloc also works but its tricky to use it with Ramerson's kitchen and it is not bug free either. It sometimes overlaps module addresses which result in non bootable ROMs.
IMPORTANT: From now on, i will post ready to use XIP and SYS for the Visual Kitchen i have posted. You can download the base kitchen once and just update these files as specified in the kitchen thread to get the ROMs. The Kitchen thread is here :
Sumits Customized Visual Kitchen 1.8.1 for HTC Gene
Hey Guys,
Here is the WM6.5 avatar of my good old Pro Users ROM for WM6.1. The philosophy behind this ROM is same as it was with the original one, To provide a complete, unadulterated experience of Windows Mobile 6.5 to Gene Users, with a balance of features and performance to make the most out of our phones.
Thanks to my dear friends Ankit360, Da_G, joojoobee666, monkeybape and others for sharing the SYS and XIP, Ramerson, Helgee, Bepe and Ervius for their guidance, the great cooking tutorial and the fabulous PlatformReBuilder based kitchen which i used to cook this ROM.
Details of Current ROMs :
================================
OS Version : Windows Mobile 6.5 (CE OS 5.2.21864/23052 Build 21864.5.0.81 / 23052.5.3.0)
Free Phone Memory : ~47-48 MB
Free RAM on Start up : ~21-23.7 MB
@ Page Pool : 8 MB
Protection Status: Non Dumpable, Kitchen Included
Screenshots:
================================
I dont think these are required as the ROM has plain vanilla look of WM 6.5 with classic blue theme applied.
Notes :-
================================
COM2, COM3, COM4, MD1 etc are name of different development chains at Microsoft and each of these branch has a particular build number pattern. Some of the branches have splitted from a previous one when development reached at a certain level while others are created by OEMs like HTC, Sony, Samsung etc for their own specific development purposes. Currently, COM2, COM3 and COM4 branches are having new updates.
COM2 branch is the 218xx series, it has the old WM 6.5 RTM style look which is perfect for a QVGA screen as of now. This branch is almost feature complete and is now being optimized for performance.
COM3 branch is 230xx series and its having the latest UI changes right now, with start menu and ok/close buttons at bottom, plus a thinner upper bar and a fat lower bar due to transfer of buttons from top to down and increase in their size to make them finger friendly. The softkey indicators are also on the bottom bar and are now in shape of buttons instead of flat text. This branch builds also have drag and drop in start menu and not-returning-to-today screen type settings menu.
With latest release of this branch, 23041, the whole set of changes it brought have been merged with COM4 branch so its highly unlikely that a new build will come in this one.
COM4 Branch is 234xx branch, is the official Windows Mobile 6.5.x branch and is the one receiving all the latest updates.

Changes (if any)
================================
Build 21864
- Even Faster performance
- Settings Menu in Start Menu now does not returns to Today screen after choosing a setting icon. It returns to the menu and you can change another setting.
Build 23052
- New UI, with almost fully functional themes now.
- You can drag and drop icons to rearrange them in Start Menu and it doesnt returns to today on choosing a settigns icon
- Stable memory consumption, Performance is also great.
- Top bar is now tappable in every screen
- The working of default Windows Mobile spell checker and suggestions has been improved, previously it use to get in your way of typing, now it re-orients itself according to the space left on screen.
- The icon problem introduced in 23047 is gone and UI items are getting more arranged. But the ugly radio buttons are back for some strange reasons and the Today item selection screen in Settings>Homescreen shows magenta colored transparency mask around checkboxes, looks tacky

Ramerson has provided me the XIP so you'll see it most probably by this evening. WKTask works by hacking the taskbar and because of the changes in Windows taskbar display method, its no longer compatible. Even if it works, it will cause problems with the new lock screen.

Your'e Welcome buddy Actually all the previous builds were not so stable and had one or more problems that were making them unsuitable for regular use. So I didn't had good feelings about WM 6.5 yet. But with this build, its quiet stable and looking at the release date of 11 may set for WM 6.5, this must be quiet close to the RTM.

increase RAM
@Krazy
Just flashed ur 6.5 ROM...
As compared to helgees build its low on memory but still its fully loaded so no problem on phone storage memory part, but can u build on helgee style so that we can get more RAM......just after flash i am getting 22.2 Mb of RAM and after loading PIM i get 20.8 Mb of RAM...
Known issues
-music play back stops when power key is pressed to turn off the display
-active syn arrow on task bar remains even after USB cable is removed
One more strange thing with helgee rom....I am able to flash it with PC using RUU utility although its mentioned to be used with SD card method...
Please try to pack ur ROM using helgees method so we can avail more RAM along with power packed pro users fetures...
Overall its a suberb ROM.....as it should be
coming from the Karzy's Kitchen
Thanks buddy....will report other issue if encountered

Although you are saying that you have been successful in flashing the same ROM using RUU. not many users have reported that. So i guess we must get feedback from other users too, coz if this is possible, we are in for a treat. As for now, 20+ MB of free memory with WM 6.5 is good enough too, i used opera mobile (most heavy winmo app AFAIK) which ran flawlessly with 3 tabs open, along with Audio Manager running, which is another huge app. So i guess dont go on numbers, see the usability.

- Although the registry settings for Audio Manager, in which i included the tweak for playback in suspend mode got corrupted somehow, the trick that used to work on WinMo 6.1 is not working on 6.5. I tried adding the right registry settings, rebooted, but still it doesn't works. So i guess we need to wait for some other method to be explored for it.
- This is happening in your particular case. I am not having this problem
Anyways, i guess these problems will not much affect the usability of ROM and its good as a first release. Lets see what can be done further
bro thnx a lot
but bro on the today screen theres no batery indicator instead time is shown there
@Jyot: Use Advanced Settings Tool in Start>Settings to set the option to show battery on today screen instead of time.
@krazy

specially the animated boot screen
ohh man u are tooo gud
even ur vanila manila rom was superb

Pro's of this new Ship rom ROM are:
- Good Radio (could depend on country region)
- Performance (fast with some customized tweaks)
- Battery life (okay)
- Updated HTC packages
- Stable (no beta ****)
How to Flash:
Check if you have a WWE version already on your TOPAZ?
If not so you have to use the HSPL method to flash this ROM
See here> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
I'm on my work now (not enough time), so this is a short instruction, you can flash your TOPAZ in two ways:
(First way)Run the executable [RUU_Topaz_hTC_Asia_AUS_1.75.710.2_Ship.exe] and folow instructions.
You need an active USB connection between your TOPAZ and a PC for that.
(Second way) Extract the executable [RUU_Topaz_hTC_Asia_AUS_1.75.710.2_Ship.exe] with powerarchiver (www.powerarchiver.com)
Open the extract folder and rename the {RUU_signed.nbh} file into TOPAIMG.nbh.
Put this TOPAIMG.nbh file on the root of your SD storage card.
Then Switch [Off] your TOPAZ, when [Off] Switch to [ON] and press (together same time) the [POWER + DOWN VOLUME] button.
If done rightly, from this point you should see the tri color boot screen
The flash proces starts automatically (when TOPAIMG.nbh is on root of the SD card, if TOPAIMG.nbh not there it don't start).
(be careful here, make shure your battery is full, or connect your TOPAZ to external power)
Press [POWER] to initiate the flash proces.
When you have pressed [POWER] wait some time (approx 4 min) and follow the process% indicator bar.
(don't interrupt this flash proces, in some case a second reboot can come up at approx 20%, don't worry)
When finish do a hard reset (press the small RED button on the back of your TOPAZ with the stylus)
The RED button is behind the point where the stylus is put in, to reach this button you have to remove te backplate first.
Then your TOPAZ is booting the new ROM, follow the instructions.
Good luck!!
PS> Excuse me for my poor English!
Hi
I'm now using this ROM. I much prefer the stock ROMs as they have always proven the most reliable and bug free in my experience, even though I keep trying cooked ones.
As already mentioned 6.5 is too slow and buggy in my opinion, I'm not sure if this is down to them being home grown and often a bit of a Frankenstein ROM (bits and pieces pulled together from different sources) or it's Windows 6.5 Hopefully official ROMs will have the issues and bugs ironed out and will be faster.
This ROM is working fine with the newest radio 4.48.25.13 available from the Radio Thread.
Regards
Phil

Nothing wrong with a Frankenstein ROM, use TOPIX on my HTC Touch HD wich is very good.
Windows Mobile 6.5 still not completely free of errors, logically explained as a ROM has Beta status. There is no official Stock 6.5 ROM yet.
Most of the issues in this ROM are fixed.
Expect somtime when I make a call it shows that it is dialing, but does not connect.
If you end call, and try agian it works,
Not sure why, it only happens sometime, have full range.
Apart from that very happy with this ROM, only installed it a few days ago.
General Comments/questions
The contact list, it is very hard to scroll, has anyone changed the volume keys for scrolling up&down?
Or can the 'Back' key be changed for scroll down?
Also does anyone know if you can change the Camera soft button on the touch flow home screen?
so far i have been using this rom and it is quite stable and a lot of improvements from the previous original rom. majority of the quick fix that were downloadable from the htc website is no longer compatible with this rom. there were improvements. but one thing i noticed is that the fonts are smaller compared to the 1.40 rom. thats the only thing that i noticed. all in all its good.
I have loaded this, and is seems faster. I previously had the Stock Asian 1.40.707.1
It also now says Telstra instead of 3gTelstra, must have some AUS stuff added.
Also better on power consumption

Hey FSB small world, Melbournite also.
So how is this ROM so far.
I too have a WWE stock ROM 1.40.707.1 (49069) and thinking of upgrading to this one.
Only problem my OS version is CE OS 5.2.21041 (Build 21042.1.6.1)
this one is 21041.1.6.1 seems mine is ahead?

Look at the build number (53237) compared to (49069) OS is the same but versoin is later 1.75.710.2.
There is nothing specially Australian aubout this version, even not Croc Dundee in it
WWE means World Wide English!
I've got an S3 i9300, want to use it as daily driver.
I need an OS that is:
Stable and complete. GPS, Camera, Bluetooth etc.. works
Fast for regular usage (don't want to feel this is old hardware)
has security patches (e.g. stagefright)
preferably has the CM Privacy Manager.
no stock/bloated Samsung ROM
CM12 runs slow. BlissPop (CM12 based) runs slow. MinimalOS (Lollipop) fast but not stable or complete enough, LiquidSmooth old and not updated, AndroidRevolutionHD old etc...
I'm seeing dozens of Roms, I can't try them all.
Which ROMS do you recommend ?
Stock roms run the best. Custom roms are customisable.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

I myself use i9300 official CM 13 Nightlies but they are kinda buggy for now if you want a totally complete rom so use these:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-i9300-t3254215( use the latest build only for maximum performance )
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-aosp-i9300-t3207400 ( use Android 5.1.1 version )
And if you want any rom to run smoothly so you will need :
1. greenify
2. greenify donation pack
3. xposed framework
4. supersu
Use greenify to hibernate almost all system apps unless the ones make you buggy and slow like your launcher and Google now and Google services. And you'd better hibernate the user apps you don't need too. This can make you pretty fast and power saving.
Press the tnx:good: button if I helped you.

Wow, thanks for the detailed reply. I never knew Greenify was so important/impactful on overall performance.
I just tested the latest CM11 nightly and noticed it says "android security patch level December 2015". So that's good, it's secure.
One more thing, what are your thoughts on custom Kernels for performance ? I've tried Boeffla and saw a nice difference (with a slightly more performance oriented governor)

It depends on the OS version of your phone and on the build version either for example if you are on the build 20 of cm 12.1 boeffla can make you really fast but if you are on build 30 you have some instabilities coming with it ( as I tried it myself but you can try it too not so sure on this one ) but for the OS versions below 5.1.1 it is really awesome and heavily optimized and bugless.

Thanks, I tested boeffla-kernel-2.12-CM11.0-NG-i9300 with latest CM11 nightly. Phone works great, I think I'll stick with CM11 - I don't really need anything from newer android versions
I vote against greenify and any apps that task manage. Android will keep opening apps regardless of how many times you close them as that is the nature of the operating system. Just let it do what it wants and it'll eventually learn that you don't use that app.

Then you vote for speed decrease and lags and battery drain and so. If you want them to happen on your device so NP then. And knowing that S3's ram is limited and low will make the problem worst. Yeah of course if I had note5 I wouldn't use greenify!!? We only use it to solve the low ram problems that everyone suffer from and you know Android is created to install tweaks and control it as you want if not you can buy an ios device and let it do everything for you.
