Hi All!
First of all a short story about this ROM:
As a Charmer owner I tried all available WM6/WM6.1 ROM in this forum. All are great, but I wanted to find something like the WM6 Essential edition, but based on WM6.1. Yesterday I decided to cook my own ROM, so I selected ChrBeck's WM6.1 WWE ROM (Thanks for him!) and tried to remove all 3rd party software, but HTC applications.
I also created my kitchen (based on Molski.Biz's Wizard Kitchen - Thanks for him ).
Now, it's only a bunch of scripts, but I'll put together with a short howto and publish it here.
Version History:
v0.3
-------------------------
- Upgraded to .NETCF 3.5 (performance increased significantly)
- Added .NET Configurator
- Registry tweaks regarding performance (caches)
Download here.
v0.2:
-------------------------
- Restored original png/gif files (splash screen, default_stwater, blankbanner, etc)
- Set Windows Default as the default theme (blue)
- Restored original Arcsoft MMS Composer because the integration of the new version failed.
- Added htcutil.dll and Device Information now working
- Translated the rest of the html help files (some were in CHS)
Download here.
v0.1:
-------------------------
- Initial release
- Removed components from ChrBeck's ROM: pocketnotepad, batterybar, psshutxp, HTC Home plugin, HHC, diamond and HTC themes, TFlow
- Updated ArcSoft MMS Composer to 5.0.70.24
- Cleared Extended ROM
- Autorun.exe now in English (removed german mui file )
- Changed boot splash
- Set WM6.1 green as default theme
Download here.
Known issues:
- Still nothing

Instructions:
Download and run self extracting exe. This will create a directory with the ROM image and the required tools. Run Update_ROM.bat and follow the instructions on the screen (if any).
Remember: You have to flash your device back to WM5 before using this upgrade!
Disclaimer: This ROM is not official. You can use it on your device, but I take no responsibility for any damage!
Remark: HTCUtil.dll was removed, because it's already in version 0.2.

Nice to see your first ROM here. I'll test it soon.
Looks sweet Will try A.S.A.P.
Interesting thing happens:
Installed .NETCF 3.5 in version 0.2 and selected as the default NETCF provider. The result is a significant speed gain!
The plan is to integrate NETCF into the ROM...More comes later.

EDIT: Successfully integrated NETCF3.5 and NETCF2.0 with only 1MB memory penalty:
great to see my follower :-D
I'm reverting back to charmer, maybe I'll try cooking once more - but untill that, I'll use your rom...go on man
P.S.: IMHO touchflo is todays standard - wouldn't be better to include it? It works really good on chrbeck's rom...
Thanks nocturne.op.15!
I know that almost every ROM includes TF, but I wanted to create a clean and fast version of WM6.1.
Maybe once I cannot optimize my ROM any longer, I'll integrate such kind of tools.
PS.: Nice to hear, that you using my ROM on your charmer...
well, still found two things from chrbeck's rom - ugly (and unusable due to missing smartdial) dialer and calc skin
but it's good rom - and a good work, go on with cleanup
If you will try to perform extreme cleanup as I did in Essentials, you may find this usefull: http://www.dependencywalker.com/
it works pretty good...
As WM6.5 "released" to public, I will focused on to get WM6.5 running on charmer, so 6.1 pure development stopped for now. (but not forever )
HELP!
This is my first devise on WM!!
May you wright how to do it with 0.3 version. Everything you can - what I need to do, step by step?
Sorry to say that su unfriendly but READ THE STICKYS. We have a how to there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513426
The first part with the old Utility is the right for your Device.
Compliments to rmagyar,
Stable, Fast and very nice ROM for my HTC Charmer...
Speed and stability first of all..
Two comment:
1) Bluetooth is not receiving from other PPC machines!
is there a BT fix?
2) Sms threading? possible to add?
Summary
Based on DaGs Kitchen, this ROM is intended to be a HTC base ROM for Touch Pro, installing automatically upon Initial Customization finishing my favorite cabs. This install will automatically reset after some minutes, so please be patient and do not soft reset your device. Is very likely te need to turn the power on while it’s configuring, because the default auto power off.

I would like to make a special thanks to Da_G (usually Kitchen and Build), xbmod (TF3D2), the developers who made the cabs included in this ROM, XDA Community in general, and all people I can’t remember right now.

The files were split up due to a size limitation on the uploading server. To open it just download them to the same place and unzip them both at the same time.

Nice, thanks a lot for being a chef, thanks a lot man! I'm flashing it now. BTW, can I get the Rhodium Start Menu working on this ROM?

Read the first post, there are some problems with the camera in this build (21202).
TeixeiraBMB this is looking great, I'll let you know if I find anything after I play with it for awhile. Also I was wondering if you could give us that wallpaper that is in your first picture, I want to use it in TF3D2. Thanks!
I really like the top notification bar! Good looking work man! I havent flashed in a few days so I may flash this one.
hey do u have the cab for the bar at the top.. where the 3g and battery thing is..
i like the look of them
This is a WM6.5.1 ROM, based on the 2.08 OEM ROM and 23047 XIP/SYS from Da_G.
All it has got is the bare minimum OEMDrivers, plus a fully featured SYS (some of the SYS applications have been tweaked: removed extra screen layouts for LockScreen, removed SampleMusic etc, UPXed a few things).
The XIP has been tweaked quite heavily to get the best performance, and you should be able to add whatever you like to this ROM and it should remain stable.
Try it and see (and install whatever keyboard you feel like using).
This will probably act as the basis for some "full" ROMs afterwards.

OLD:
Based on my Diamond/Rhodium 23034 ROM (which is being updated to 23037 now) I'm proud to present WM6.5.1 for Topaz owners!
It's a clean/light ROM with the focus on speed (at least until HTC makes their applications work with the new layout!)
So, the download links:

Thanks to flippy for ROM hosting!
New ROM up now!
Fixed (hopefully) posted now!
tested - bug on restarting is gone - i will test the rest of the features right now
but im unable to test because of the same keyboard error i have posted to shadowlines rom - if you use the new keyboard - and change it with the directional button - keyboard dissappears - hope you fix that to- thanks
Keep freezing after a while after every window start-up ...
Have done the hard reset after flashing on device, but the prob still same ...
Dear l3v5y, your ROM apppearance is very useful and nice. go on with your ROM! Thanks.
After a quick test I noticed two things:
1. The magnifying effect is on and I'm unable to find a place where to turn it off. This is really annoying!
2. After starting Windows Live and trying to set account details, keyboard went missing and the program failed shutting it down after clicking the screen where keyboard was supposed to be.
3. Once I was unable to start File Explorer from Start menu, restarting the device helped on this matter.
So far then, stabilty isn't great. I could probably fix issues by removing the HTC IME, though then you're left with WMs crappy one....

New ROMs + kitchen now in the first post!
I'm going away for a few days tomorrow, so won't be doing much active support... If something is urgent, email me (use the link in my profile).
I think your 09082804 is very speedy and light. Thank you for giving us new works. By comparing other newer ROMS, this is far better than them.
Would it be possible for you to include teater, msn weather and money? Or, can you provide them as additional cabs?
Also Windows Media Player doesn't have enough codecs. Can you provide a link to download necessary codecs?

One bug: camera.exe doesn't work because of either no sign or missed component.
Thanks l3v5y, just so you know though the kitchen links do not work, and the rapidshare one for the kitchen just has a spelling error.
Are you sure that screen shots in post#1 is for build 23037?
Because I have not "AM or PM" in time&clock setting!
I found that Netfront browser doesn't work at all. Can you guess why it doesn't?

Fasssssssssssssssssssssst
This is the fastest ROM I ever benchmarked. In fact: the first ROM above the 2000 points in my benchmark totals. And it's WM6.5!!!
There are a few remarks though:
- it's a very very light ROM, virtually no applications, no Manila (the latter is just fine for me, I use PointUI)
- the magnifiing thing is very annoying, almost unusable
- in some applications (like Total Commander) there's no OK/Close button anymore
- camera is not working.
But still: very very fast, a new record
Congratz l3v5y!!!

I can try and make up some cabs from the OEM packs... I removed that stuff cause it's extra stuff that may not be needed by most.

Those two come from my idiocy, I forgot to include two packages (mHubVO and DirectShow) that include all the codecs for media player and Camera. I'll upload a fixed ROM and those packages for use with the kitchen.

Well spotted, the screenshots are actually from my Diamond 23034 ROM... I haven't taken any screenshots of my 23037 ROM as it's cosmetically pretty similar.
Avatar series, Iteration VI, Professional edition
Speed, stability and usability... Aim for the highest user experience possible!
I think that Sense 2.1 is better suited for business use (Call history, agenda, etc)
Also, I believe that our Topaz'es better handle Sense 2.1 than 2.5...
Therefore I am continuing the great Pride Series by !Aman! with my own Avatar series.
I would presonally like to thank !Aman! for bestowing upon me the greatest honor possible: sharing his complete Pride V kitchen with me!
Three branches of my ROMs: COM2 and COM3 (both stock HTC), and COM4 (possible HTC branch)
COM2: 21xxx - A bit (4-5%) faster, a little snappier, lower battery drain, 10-15Mb lower memory usage
COM3: 23xxx - New, finger friendly interface
COM4: 24xxx - Same as COM3, different build branch (reported to have excellent memory usage and battery life)

Thank you BeeGee...
Thanks for the initiative. Manila 2.5 is still way too slow and unresponsive to my liking. It's like night and day compared to a manila 2.1 ROM... Have been running Nataly 3.8 up until now, will try your ROM.

1. I did not cook it in, but I can in Avatar II!
2. Copy you sound file into the \Windows directory, and then set the sounds... I did not include too many sounds to make the ROM leaner
3. I sure am! But I want to perfect this build first...

Acronyms
Extracted from WiKi for Easy Reference.
CID Lock (aka vendor lock): put on your device by the manufacturer to prevent installation of a ROM not released by them.
HardSPL: This modified bootloader allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permanently bricking your device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing. See the official thread for more info.
Hard Reset: Similar to a soft reset, by performing a hard reset you completely wipe your device and restore it to the position it was in when you first turned the device on after it was purchased or after a new ROM is flashed.
Radio: The radio stack is responsible for the phone functionality of the device. This includes GPRS, GSM, UMTS, and GPS operations as well as camera functionality. The version you use depends on who your carrier is as users have reported versions working better on one carrier than the other. The wiki pages contain the latest versions available to download and install.
ROM: The ROM holds the Operating system and other components such as the bluetooth and wifi stacks. The ROM is accompanied by the Radio, Ext_ROM, SPL and IPL. Carriers such as T-mobile or Vodaphone taylor the ROM to their specifications and version numbers do not carry the same meaning across different carriers. IF the carrier you use supports the device well they will usually release regular ROM updates.
RUU - ROM Upgrade Utility: It’s the s/w used on your PC to do a ROM upgrade for your PPC;
IPL - Initial Program Loader: It’s the bootloader for PPC. It boots up SPL;
SPL - Secondary Program Loader: Loads the actual OS;
SSPL: SSPL is a modified bootloader which is loaded into RAM when run, this allows us to overwrite any aspect of the ROM, Radio or Bootloader far easier than using mtty.

Some Problem
Thanks for sharing
but there is some problem:
1) Alarm Sound doesn't work if you change it from htc sense; I mean you can change it from setting/sound and notification.
2) after installing Persian Language pack my sms won't be shown correctly but anything else in other program is right. also I can't install updates for HTC Messaging.
and is it possible to reduce space between Lines in any program

Hello Mahdian57, Thanks for your input .
For #1: It does work for me and another device. I have set the alarm for 5:00am and it did ring today morning . Let me know is that the place you are referring to?
For #2: I have very less idea about the SMS issue of your locale language. I will try to get some input from my friends and let you know.
Which HTC Messaging update you are referring to?
Reg Space between lines: Are you talking about the Start menu Programs that shows 3 icon and you want to see more?
If this is true: As I tried to be very close to stock ROM, but I will still try to have this in next build.
Thanks.
Watch for the next release tomorrow...

Alarm: U must change it from setting/Clock & Alarms not directly from home Screen
SMS: version 0.7 with Secure box
Space: in Default ROM spaces are tight together but You've added extra spaces between Lines (something like "line and Paragraph spacing" tool in Microsoft Word to change space between lines or paragraph)
I have also another question, is it really work "pocket mode"?
because it works based on proximity sensor as HTC said to me

Thanks for the detail info Mahdian57,
Alarm:
I have tested from Manila - Home, Start -> Alarm and Settings -> Clock & Alarm. Actually the Settings - Clock & Alarm uses the Start - Alarm program.
ALL 3 are working. But I think the alarm program (Start - Alarm) has some bug .
I may remove that in my next build or fix the issue.
SMS:
I have never tested the Secure SMS.
On search I get the URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741179
That looks promissing, I will try that some time and have in the ROM .
Space: I am really sorry if I have not understood you, but if the issue is spacing between the start menu icons (program icons), than: I think the spacing is same as the stock ROM. Please confirm.
Pocket Mode:
Never tested so deeply, but I agree about the HTC's proximity sensor working mode.
Thanks.

Have you marked the 'Use unicode when necessary' checkbox in message settings? This may solve your problem.
I confirm that there are issues with the alarm sound if you switch from HTC Sense to the Windows Mobile default view or vice versa. Alarm sounds do not activate and you have to reset all those sounds (for each alarm if you set several alarms). But I am not sure that this problem can be solved in the Windows registry. Perhaps it lies somewhere deeper (in DLLs, for example).
