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.

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.
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

- 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
hey man thanks a lot for this ultimate built
its freakin awesome
specially the animated boot screen
ohh man u are tooo gud
even ur vanila manila rom was superb
thanks a lot

Earlier i flashed my HTC p3400i 6.0 rom to 6.1 successfully.
Pls anyone who tell me the stable 6.5 rom and procedure of this.
There are many 6.5 ROMs available.
Flash as any other ROM.
can u suggest any stable new 6.5 rom for my flashed 6.1 rom
My device info is
HTC p3400i -
onbl - 1.17.0000
spl-1.07.oref
gsm - 02.79.90
os - 1.17.0.0
spl patched - 6.1 flashed
there are lots of good ROM are available... coz every chief creates his ROM ..having something special in it... so difficult to tell which is stable or good...
best way ... try different ROM and provide your comments
Ok, Here You Go...
If you want Performances, Solidness,
Try Crazy About Technologies Rom Namely, Pro Users 6.1 Series, Pro Users 6.5 Series
Ankit360 Series
(These are the best ever I found... Uncomparable)
If you Need Manila Try
Crazy's Vanilla Manilla Ultimate 3.1.1 (I am using for Months, Gives 25+ Ram with manila Running!!!)
Karan's Series
If you Need Roms to Show Off - Good Look
Try DeathGame / Narmen
If you like Lot go Gadgets in your rom
Try music edition series
If you want I phone equal customization, PM Me....
Or Use the Factory ROM
Here are your chances, I have flashed like thousands of roms and only thing could satisfy me was VM Ultimate 3.1.1
I hope I answered you correctly...
In futurer, If anyone has such question, Please MP me or mail me at [email protected] BEFORE OPENING A NEW THREAD This gene forum is so much different from what it used to be. Just look at the first page, you will see what I am talking about. You open a new thread for every trash you have, and those threads with important information gets barried underground. Even most Active Crazy's Threads went to the second page for days...
Sorry, not to hurt anyone. But, This Forum worths Million $$$ to us, to people who actually live it.

okzzz...i changed the icons to give a different feel to the rom.i also increased the font size so that its easy to read once you categorize your apps in specific folders.anyways,my next release probably after Dec9(if possible) will include stock icons with newer builds.
Further i will be concentrating more towards developing and hacking section or applications n themes section as i dont use gene for as personal cell now.
Cooked with Da_G's 23563 roll-up.
Thanks Da_G.
It's a full. I removed only Copilot.
For correcting the dialer, I used phcanrc.dll, after flashing the rom.
Newbie. Any upload server address for sharing the nbh and getting a feedback ?
Dear Trebuh,
could you please tell me exactly what files you used?? kitchen version, rom version, etc?
I tried to cook a 1.30.482.1 greek rom with Da_G's 23563 roll-up but had some allignment issues. Is everything in yours ok?
Also where can I find tha "phcanrc.dll" file?
I used :
- osKitchen Zero V1.31 beta1 ;
- The official HTC MEGA WM6.5 french rom file ;
- The Da_G's rollup.
- A moded Phcanrc.dll, from here
Works fine. Only issues till now (but need testers and feedback) :
- The slider appearing in the right of the phone dialer (issue corrected with phcanrc) ; (Or you can try the shareware phonex - google it -) ;
- As you can see in the right upper corner of my home screen, the date and the quickmenu icon are superposed. For that issue i've found the workaround here, but I didn't use it yet.
Hope I helped.
Thank you very much for your help!!
I noticed that bug with the taskmanager in my first try too...I'll let you know if i find out anything
Thanks again!!!
USe mmtaskmanager,arcswitch or X task in these built ,remove taskmargr
@rakesh_4utoo
Thanks for advice, man. Downloaded and now using your xtreme v1.3 since yesterday. Smart !
that with the qiuckmenu and the time is not a problem...in the original wwe htc toch 2 1.28 europea version there is a way to deactivate the clock in the taskbar....but i cant remember for the moment
Winmo 6.5.5 - 23563. My version 1.03.
Original themes and apps.
Full. Only removed GPS COPILOT.
I've fixed the original phone dialer, so no unwanted scroll bar at the right of the dialer, however no need to copy or handle phcanrc.
Replaced TaskManager with MMTaskManager so no superposition of icon and date in the upper right corner of the home screen.

New version 2.0 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731966
New version XTrebh v3.0 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737054
Thank you for feedback.
Edit:
To use MMTaskManager : (thanks fktsndr) After you flash the rom, go to the program files directory of your device, go in the MMtaskManager directory, open that program, tap Menu, tap Settings, select Load On Startup, Enable Taskbar Launch, Run In Background. Tap Done and OK. Soft reset! From now you can tap the left top of the screen to launch MMTaskManager.
Hi trebuh! This rom is just what i need, exept i dont speak french! Can you release it in english?
@racka_pw
Thank you for your post and for your appreciations.

That would be great! Thx in advance! Keep up the good work!

@malvern @racka_pw
Very glad of your request.
Preparing now an english version. What is better the XTrebh 3.0 or the LucidXTrebh v3.3 ?
thanks for reply trebuh, personally i would prefer the one in this thread which has no modification to the lock screen and the manila clock but works perfect. a stock like rom.i was just after wm6.5.x with everything from our com 2 stock rom except copilot.sorry if its too much of an ask.
Ok for this one.
[ROM] Wp7LionRomBeta1 & Project 187 & full color icons & live tiles.& updates 2 pda
[ROM] Wp7LionRomBeta1
Hello XDA
I have been working hard on a wp7 rom for very long time unrortunatly my hd2 broke on me about 6 months ago and I just finaly got a new one so im back at it agin buling wp7 roms so now I wish to relese the work for devs to use and beta testing pourpses!
My rom mods consist of new looks mainly to bring out true great looking wp7 moble softwhare
the full fetures of my rom will be announced at a later date as i will constantly be trying to fix bug's and inprove the rom to the best I can and fix the errors.
ATM The rom is unstable for menny resons but because I cant find solutions Im hopeing the relese of this beta will do the community some good for
other devs to use my custom content.
Hear sare some fetures and credits!
First of all I would like to give even more thanks to xbmod for a great rom & helping me bring my idia to life!
I just was not happy with white icons on my phone & useing a program to have some nice Icons while loosing the abiliy of live tiles semed like a downgrade to me so acouple months ago I asked xbmod
if I could start working on a full color icon set & he gave me his icons to start out with & I stated from thare!
eventuly I needed a default set to continue my work & it wasnt untill julian sharpmen relesed ToucheXplorer 1.5.0.0 to the public that I was able to extract a default icon set . So much thanks to him & his tools as well!
I had many many tests done & every icon needed tweeking constanly I had to remake most of the icons almost 10 times before I finalty got what I wanted right alot of tryal & error
I almost gave up at one point but when you start on a project sometimes its good to not look back & just keep going because now im very happy with my phone & im very happy to beable to share with you the frutes of my labors.
I hope everone will enjoy not haveing to see those ugly white metro icon's anymore.
Software Used
used rez hacker to set lang id
used restorator 2007 trial to check lang ids & rename files back to .png once inported
used Resorce Tuner to inport & replace files
used origanl system file to compare & use icons as base files
used xbmods Dev_Skin pack as base
used Adobie PhotoshopCS5 & MSPaint for image minipulation
used icons from windows moble 6.5,Wndows 7,Windows Vista.msn messinger,bingmaps3d,Zune,XboxLive.com,Windows Live
Microsoft Office,Yahoo! Mail,Google Mail,Facebook,Twiter & Linkedin.
There are about 60 new custom full color live tiles, icons & tolkens total!
Thay all look as much like default as possible

custom boot logo like windows 8 only full color.
custom htc lion splash.
custom full color live tiles, icons & tolkens . Alot like orignal's
custom thems 187
custom accsent 187
Full color silverlight library included in themes & accsents bult in to the os... also some custom colors I made for darker colors to be included thay are all mixable & matchable with out any color or text error when mixed,
The custom themes & accsents was a project I called project 187. I would like to thank Iszzac Johansson for his never ending help during the project.
and am very happy to say the project is compleat. sucsessfuly. after 6 months of hard working days of wrighting the registry but unfortunatly not being used in curent stable roms yet. untill a developer useing the registry setting for bulding a curent stable rom,
if you use project 187 in your rom please give credit to me jackrabbit72380 and member IzaacJ. thankx!
now what i am hoping to see is some other developer fix the problums
I cant seem to fix. & use my custom content in a new stable uptodate rom.
if anyone can post screen shots please do!
i have not alot of time atm. for show off of the rom.
also i will make a bug list and list of curent planed fixes and todo's & also eventuly fix spellign and gramer mistakes in post! =)
The only reason I say the rom is not stable is because I personaly have experianced some rebooting issues. although it may be because im useing a class2 sandisk micro sd card but im not sure,
you hay not have this issue only time will tell.
Feal free to make some mirrors on other sites and i will post em hear okay! Hopefuly in the future I will have an even more stable up to date version.
