my time with the gene is heading towards its end and i'd like to go out with a bang!!
i created this thread to give something back to this wonderful community for all the help and guidance that has been offered to me so far
i've kept the next post as sort of a checklist for new (and experienced) chefs for the stuff that they should include in their ROMs and also a list of things that our users request (based on popularity)
i'll also try and provide little descriptions wherever possible
so i'd like all those here to write down the features/apps/requests/tweaks whatever it is that you have used in your previous/current ROMS that you've liked
i'll go through the posts and add newer items into the list as time goes on
this will serve as a good place for the senior chefs here to contribute bits of their knowledge and as a quick reference index for new or aspiring chefs for things they should be considering while making their own ROMs
so here's a list of things a cook oughta look up while making a ROM
i've grouped the things up into separate catgories like
1] OEM
this group requires comparatively less editing on the chef's part so i figured it best to get it out of the way first
i - the initflashfiles.dat files can be edited to make changes in the default directory locations, file names and shortcut links
ii - i remember having changed the CameraDriver.dll module while trying to get my camera working, so chefs may want to look around for that one
iii - same goes for the sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll, some of the older SYS builds need these modules to be patched else the sd card is not detected by the phone
iv - for those adding their own CABs or any other files for customization on first boot should make sure that their Config.txt file is edited as per their needs
kitchen crashes sometimes set the contents of this file to default thereby voiding the changes made by the chef
v - edit the mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml to add in custom ROM name and date
2] SYS
i - firstly go through all the packages and remove unnecessary items to save some important space on our little GENES
look here for more info
ii - feel free to customize the graphics files in the dpi and dpi res folders
nothing says custom ROM more than custom graphics
iii - for more advance users, you can edit the graphics within the .DLL files in some of the files in the SYS folder
modules may also be recmodded to flat .DLL files to edit and then reversemodded to modules again
iv - various system files can be recmodded to reduce the number of modules in slot 0
here's the reason why
i'll place a link up when i find it
v - some of the files can be replaced to improve the functionality
3] EXT
here's another place for some really deep customization for the chef
instead of writing down every single software package that is available i'm making a list of the must-have softwares that work well on our devices
i'll be starting off with a list of my preferred apps and i'll be adding more apps as the user suggestions come in
i - a registry editing software like PHMRegistry
ii - PPCPimBackup
iii - S2P 0.83 by far the best FREE music player around
you could alternatively use older version like the 0.58 version which had the cover flow feature and a different method of creating the playlist
iv - XDA_UC, simply because it reduces the workload on the user post flash/hard reset and pitches in great for when the chef wants some post-boot customizations to be carried out
v - pocketnester, NES ROMs may not be everyone's cup of tea but it sure as hell provides some endless time-wasting fun
reserved...just in case
Lets work on overclocking our CPU.currently iv been using "omap" to overclock my device to 240Mhz.
Worst part is,just as the device goes to sleep mode,or a manual shut down/restart,the clock speed reduces back to the default 186Mhz.
We either need to edit the Omap executable file or write some code to make it work continuous till the device is active.
If we succeed in this, we'll have ROMs rolled out with default 240Mhz clocking speed as a gift to Gene n the Gene users.
n r u shiftin to a newer device ? which one r u gonnu buy.do let us know.i'll probably shifting to Samsung Galaxy S2. dont wannu wait for the HtC Pyramid.i want the Super AmoLED plus screen in my hands.
I'll need shtdown animation.For overclocking pocket hack master is best(If you have money to purchase it!!!!).
To Karan999:Why don't you switching to HTC HD 2? Plz tell me bcoz i'm also going to buy HD 2 next week.

@Harsh - Honestly i really donno to which device m gonnu switch.since i'll be waiting till this Nov,i'll have alot of choice.But for now,the Samsung Galaxy SII is fixed.i already use my uncle's HD2 as a third device to my Gene and my iPhone 3G S.
Lets hope for the best.

PsshutXP
Ya man but it will work with psshutxp but i'm using shutxp not psshutxp (i don't know if there is any difference or not),but it replaces poweroffwarning.exe from windows folder.HTC Animation uses poweroffwarning.exe from PACKAGE_POWEROFFWARNING.I want someone to edit this exe to make it working for HTC Animation
To psychocyst:HTC sense feel on GENE will be expected.I knows that it's impossible to use it on GENE but any other UI that looks like Sense UI
Hi Karan,
Use Omap-264. This has all the advantages u require. It will keep in 264 even after softreset; It will keep in 264 even after power on.

overclocking to 264 may be dangerous.It can harm the device.Overclocking to 20% is safe but here it is around 31%.Can we change it?

Below 264 is fine. Want to change the clock lower? run omap_OverClock from the startmenu/programs folder. I run it at 216 MHz always. No problem.

Overclocking is always dangerous. what about the battery life ?? overclocking drains battery faster.

Yes. Overclocking is always dangerous. But if u use it judiciously it works wonders. I have not seen any appreciable drain in battery life. I used to get almost 2 days previously. now also i am getting the same amount. May be a couple of hours less. It increases the ram speed correspondingly.
thanks for the heads-up...i'll give it a go and check out the results and post them up
Incoming calls not being displayed
I'm new to this flashing rom and stuff like this, but with ALL my help from this site(thanks to everybody) I had successfully upgraded my rom to Karanz_ULTIMATE v7.12 on my new gene.
But coming to the main point, the MAIN reason for flashing my rom was that i had issues with my stock rom of incoming calls not being displayed(although the ring could be heard to the call on the other end) occasionally. This issue had landed me into some HUGE trouble which scares the crap out of me even today. After a few days of using this newly installed rom the issue surfaced again and now I'm afraid to use this phone any more.
I know for sure there are great GODS in this forum who can solve issues like these in a breeze, so I humbly submit my heartfelt request to please advise a solution. ANYBODY PLEASE for God's sake help me out. PLEASE...
Additional information about my Phone:
onbl 1.17.0000
spl 1.07.0ref
gsm 02.79.90
os 1.17.0.0
Any more info anybody needs, I shall give(provided you tell me where to find it).

I think it is better to give them some commendation or appreciation for their hardwork in cooking ROM instead of making an statement like that. They are trying to cook ROM for some many reasons like freeing of memory, making our device more faster, and to be desirable or let say more functional and operational for all us users.
We all know that "all cooked ROM" is not "Official ROM". Thery are all modified base on the original ROM release by the Manufacturer/Distributor.
Anyway, if you have some suggestion like on what you said above, for sure they will consider that in the next version of ROM they will cooked. But if you can cook and share you own version of ROM that would be better, you can do cook your own ROM and it will be appreciated if you can share to all of us.
cheers...

DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T USE IT!!!!! moron.....
hmm..
so much nonsense by him again I see. If I remember correctly
T2M and Medkid did a great job of rejuvinating the dear Atom Life ROM scene which was dead and gone.
So use and appreciate it cook your own. Try cooking and tell me how 'EASY' it was, instead of giving baseless, nonsense ideas.
indianram,
please cook one your own, and we will evaluate it.

i'm with you on that m8....
i soo understand that fact.... the ROM scene for Atom life has always been soo grim and ppl like our respected thread initiator who has an opinion more than an expected appreciation to our esteemed "ROM cookers" (though i dont like that term personally) ppl need to understand that they must NOT begin threads for this reason and can very well leave their comments as posts....
i would like to thank both @medkid and @TranMinhMan for their gr8 ROMS which i have enjoyed using on my atom life

indianram,
I think it is better if you will cook your own ROM and do what you want in your ROM. And if you can share with us, it will be sure appreciated. All users will evaluate it and give you their comments. Lets see what you've got.

BEST ROM till now
Hey dude's this is the best ROM till now i have used/ flashed....
i think i'm the first person replied to PDAVIET ROM WM 6.1 CE OS 5.2.20753 Build 20753.1.4.0 for Atom Life thread....from the day i have flashed, till now i did not faced any problem with my Atom Life...its works fine even my battery 10% yesterday it was working fine till 1%...its been one and half year i'm using Atom Life...its used to shut down between 30-20 % of battery...
we should appreciate the COOK...great job dude...we are waiting for more more new ROM's from you guys....
Please encourage COOK...don't flash if you don't like the ROM...if u need some thing specific try to request for the same....
thanks guy....
So sad here!
Thank you so much for everyone support my friend (T2M) from PDAVIET.
The way to evaluate of somebody here is not good for our work.
That's why my friend and I never post again our rom to xda-developers (where I studied and built the ROM for Himalaya, Atom). At box Himalaya of xda-developers, I'm used to evaluate such. So sad!
Each build will have some different fault, we have to attempt to adjust and revise everything to be suitable.
We need you have evaluation for improving for next build. That's why we post the rom in order to share everybody.
The way indianram evaluated about T2M's ROM, I don't like. The Vietnamese tradition is so. In fact, also we don't force anybody to use our rom.
If you want please come to PDAVIET.
Thank you
common dude

UPDATE FOR NEW USERS: Please read the entire first two posts on this thread before asking questions. Many questions have been answered at the release of the ROM a couple months ago. I tired to keep the major questions updated below. If anything needs clarification from a newb perspective please PM. Its easy for ROM builders to take things for granted so I apologize if I left out anything pertient. Remember you will have to deal with Damager if you post a question that was answered here! I dont even want to do that ;c)
**Many thanks go out to Damager and bitserve for keeping up the thread! Ive been really busy lately. I have about 5 big or growing posts spanning two sites and three phones. Not to mention I have a real job too!

*START ORIGINAL POST*
Round 4 Reloaded highlights: (More info to include credits to follow later!!!)
+DCD 3.2.6 Base kitchen with base comm manager and base dialer. Upgrades included for a "Diamond" look if you so choose.
+ With or without ROM Pack and Themes.
You can choose Reloaded "Loaded Edition" or "Economy Edition" and of course a Kitchen is coming soon....
Loaded has everything you see to include the ROM pack and the extra themes.
Economy does not have the extra M2D themes nor the ROM pack.
Kitchen has everything of course.
+M2D "Scott's theme" by default. Older White Diamond and 11 more included. White Diamond was the predominate favorite before this one.
+HTC Album, HTC Audio Player, Google Maps 2.2.0.20 preinstalled and functioning with M2D. Tabs are disabled by default. Must enable them in M2DC (Customizer).
M2DC (Customizer) pre-installed and MUCH MUCH more stable than the previous builds.
+ROM pack. You get an installable ROM pack. It includes the following apps and will place the installer in a ROM Pack folder in My Documents. From there you can choose what to install if anything. The ROM pack includes:
All DCD Carriers
Matching Diamond Dialer and Com manager for "My Theme"(screen shots)
Older Touchflow finger scroll app
HTC X Button (Task Manager button)
Large Title Bar
Large Start Menu
VistaHide Battery gauge cabbed up by me
Memory
*M2D Enabled, Fresh Boot, Oxios Hibernate ran first - Free RAM: 21.99
*M2D Disabled, Fresh Boot, Oxios Hibernate ran first - Free RAM: 25.45
*Requirements:
+ NueSpl 2.47, olipro 2.40/ I reocmend the first as it is much easier to install.
+ Radio 2.3.3x or higher. Look at my sig block to see what I am running. What I run is what I prefer and recomend you run.
+ Working and hopefully prior exp in flashing custom ROMS. Many new flashers for the first time have followed the GA Medic link and uised it to flash the ROM. They all had great success. We can only help sop far so we recomend that new people research hard before flashing for the first time. If you have flashed to a custom GPS ROM already then this is no different. With all that being said.... What you do is your repsonsibility and not me or any memomber of theo forum or theo forum itself. We will however tryto help you as best we can and I have yet to say a flash go bad we couldnt fix in no time. Post your problems in the forum. Alot fo people with experience read it and answer some questions that are tough even for me ;C)
**You must install a DCD Carrier CAB which is included in the ROM Pack for all carriers before your data connection will work.
Pics:
1. Default theme for M2D
2. Added Dialer from the ROM pack, otherwise it will be stock DCD.
3. Added Comm manager from the ROM Pack, otherwise it will be stock DCD.

Thanks Link (Pay Pal, no account with them required). If you want to donate and cant dont worry about it. Any one can use the ROM and kitchen for whatever purpose they like. The only request is that you at least link to either my home page or the appropraite thread. This goes for my older series as well. This is of course if you post something on the internet. Dont worry if you do it for your buddies a few cubes down. That removes the Shock and Awe effect ;c) Remember donations are not required but loved :c) heh

Bugs and Fixes
Issue #1: Installing the Opal Comm Manager causes duplicate icons on the Connections Control Panel.
Fix: Install the attached cab instead. Its fixed. I removed the registry settings causing the duplicate icon.
Note: You can uninstall the old COM Manager and install this as a fix. You will not need to hard reset.

Tips Tricks and How To's - Updated 12 Nov 2008 at 11:00am
1. 12 Preloaded themes will keep you busy. You can easily switch between themes using the M2DC program. Its an excellent program that helped inspire me to do this ROM. Check out his page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392
2. I attached the latest version of the customizer. Seems 100% compatible with the ROM. Use my repacked cab becuase the original wont install correctly with this ROM! Nothing to do with the app itself its how the ROM is built. My CAB installs to the ROM location and not the original location of the app. Dont worry, works great! Original: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392&highlight=manilla
3. Use the NEW ATTACHED customizer to utilize Internet Explorer instead of Opera!!!! Works GREAT!
4. Make your phone jump to the home screen whenever you choose. You can do this by remapping a soft button to the <Today> command. See my screenshot. I programmed the command to my Messaging button. Everytime I press messaging it returns to the home screen! Tight or what???
5. Change the default Softkeys on the Home screen. Use the customizer to do this. See my screenshots.
I added google adsense to my website. See this single post for the details ;c)

Kitchen is coming soon as well as the lite version. I just have to get them uplaoded. About 1/2 more hour.
Try the rom and tell me what you think for now... Something to do anyways untill the kitchen is up. I will Bump it from third upload to second.... Hang tight...
scott i realize you are busy tonight.
i'm one of the ones that asked for more "calendar room". I just noticed your "reloaded" and dcd 3.3.4 are out at the same time and noticed it this evening.
Do you ever think there will be any more calendar room available on the home tab where the clock doesn't take up so much room?
also...any other responses on battery drain?

scott i realize you are busy tonight.
i'm one of the ones that asked for more "calendar room". I just noticed your "reloaded" and dcd 3.3.4 are out at the same time and noticed it this evening.
Do you ever think there will be any more calendar room available on the home tab where the clock doesn't take up so much room?
also...any other responses on battery drain?

Both ROMS just came out today.
As far as the calendar that is not within my ability at this time. The program is built to work the way it is. I cannot actually modify the core program itself. I can only tweak the themes and overhead it takes like most customizable apps. I have three fortune 500 companies for clients as a help desk manager. I understand your issues with seeing all your appointments. Have you ever thought setting a reminder an hour to 24 hours in advance? That might help? Trust me as soon as someone hacks this portion of the app I will be the first to incorporate it.
As far as the battery drain you are the only one reporting the issue. I dont know what to tell you on that. Try swapping back to a stock ROM and load up manila manually and run for a few days. Do some variations of such. Tell me how your battery is. Mine will go well more than 24 hours with this set up. Usually 36 to 48 before its dead.

Oh man.. What a tough tough decision to make. Try the 3.3.4 or go with your Reloaded... Hmm.. I hate decisions. Did you have any luck by replacing your kitchen xip with the os.nb.payload you dumped from 3.3.4?
Man.. if it was an easy change to 3.3.4 from 3.2.6 in your kitchen, I would be in heaven!!!
Thanks for the work!

IM working on it but not getting anywhere. May may have to wait untill DCD releases the new ktichen. Tweaking XIP's is not my thing (yet!). Tweaking OEMS and working kitchen files.... thats my thing!
BTW Is that where the XIP comes from and if so where do I put it?
awesome rom so far. still testing.
running smooth like crazy and everything is very fast. i'm loving your theme though. still customizing and getting back thngs.
btw is the kitchen 100% tonight? if so, i'll jsut test and fix everything when the kitchen is released
From what I understand, there shouldn't be any XIP tweaking needed. As DCD has mentioned, all you have to do is replace the os.nb.payload in your kitchen with the one dumped from the 3.3.4 tear down. Copy/Paste.

Hmmmmmm Interesting. I will mess with it later on this week. Waiting on feedback about this ROM first. See if there are any emergency fixes I need to do first.
Hi guys, kind of confused with the build numbers, which build is the newest build for WM 6.5 that I can use with my Titan? Any good ROM suggestions on that build? Thanks guys.
Watch this fourm...
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=54678
The moment a new build is released, they post about it there. The newest as of today (not sure if they have released a rom for the titan yet) is 21812 but, it seems to change every other day
I've been running 21806 the last few days and it has been great so far.
LOL, 21812 is already out!
Yeah I saw that less than a day after I had my phone how I wanted it. Ugh... it's like waiting for the new CPU or new car model to be released.
I have a question. How are the 6.5 ROM's obtained exactly? I'd like to start getting involved, cooking, etc. Currently running 21812, but don't care for the RAM and battery meters, or the "fave people" plugin.

If you don't like the meters the goto windows\startup folder and delete the two files. dcibattery and qwertymemory
Use chome editor to remove the fave people plugin.

I had the same problem. What worked for me is cutting them and paste them into a different folder and then deleting the files from there. Weird but worked.

Yeah I'm posting on that thread as we speak. What I meant by obtain is how they get the ROM releases. Do we lowly members just have to keep waiting for a developer to post them on the forums?
I guess this sort of answers my question.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=976417&postcount=547
Are you asking on how to create your own rom ? I'm also looking for the way to create my own rom and figure out how to troubleshoot problems with them. A lot of rom creators use PPCkitchen to create there roms by putting in the files for the new builds then building it on there and there is other kitchens for some builds as well.
Where they are coming from ? Chinese or Japanese sites, I forget the link, they have them all listed there, it tends to pop up from those sites, then trickles down to ppcgeeks, then to xda... With some searching in that fourm I linked before, you'll see links to the builds on there.

Thanks. Will try that.
So these roms still do not work with the camera? I remember reading about it. Is it worth it? I know you have even less memory on startup. I just wish 6.1 would be able to use the marketplace.

They certainly do work with the camera. There are two modes, though:
High Memory Mode -> You cannot use the camera, but you gain an addition 5ish meg of RAM.
Low Memory Mode -> You can use your camera, but RAM is lower.
You can switch back and forth at will with a simple utility in your Settings menu and then soft resetting.
Oh wow that is cool. Hmmm. Maybe I will wait for development when fellow xda members can update an os without clearing any data. But hearing that is tempting. I would probably just leave the camera on. Maybe someone should make a new lighter camera for that mode. In the mean time I will look for some WM6.5 on Titan videos.

hi guys,
Please bear with me, i am very inexperienced to this. I have a Sprint TP & while I dont hate it, some things really annoy me. Im not sure if I need a custom rom or just a few tweaks & clean up the exisiting software, hopefully you can help.
THINGS I HATE:
Screen Lag from portrait to landscape. Sometimes I have to open & shut the phone 5 x's & take out the stylus before it switches. & general TF3D lag.
Constant notifications of messages being sent!
Not having month calender view be default.
A better way to lock keys rather than having to punch in #'s (the pre has a nice lock feature)
Battery life.
Flash Support?
A straigt up contacts button without having to load my fav, then hit a button, then load.
If some1 could point me in the right direction that would be cool. Ive read a bit & a custom rom seems a little scary, so Im nervous to do anything that complex.
THANKS!
Aight I'll bite. The screen lag your S.O.L. without changing to a custom ROM. You can try some of the reg hacks but I never found anyone them to be worth it on the stock rom.
You can change the message sent notifications in the reg or you can find a cab some where. (Searching helps) but most custom roms already have this.
Calender view is an easy one just open the calender and hit menu>tools>options and change start in to month view.
Battery, again custom rom.
Flash support. its there, again searching helps.
I noticed a huge performance and battery life increase when I quit using TF3d and 6.5 default for the today screen on any rom. You can find all those settings when you hit start>settings>today
hope that gets you started. has far which custom rom to start out with. MightyMike, Juicy, and, SSS are good starts.
Overall, do your homework, get your **** straight and go to town. It can be fun trying new software and roms on your phone and all the info is here and on ppcgeeks.
Thanks for the help. Ive read a few things here & there, but it does get confusing & i just dont want to brick my phone, that is why i am tentative about custom roms... I found a new browser for flash support (skyfire) but it looks like crap. Maybe over the weekend i can read up on the custom roms you suggested. Thanks again.
Disable SMS Sent Notification
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings] Set SMSNoSentMsg to 1
I'm new too. There's lots of good stuff up in the Raphael Wiki to get started with.
so, ive seen this before
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settin gs] Set SMSNoSentMsg to 1
Where is that exactly?
& i was just over @ pcgeeks, is seems you can put the stock rom onto your phone if needed. Is this true? Would you be able to bring it in for service if you do that? or would they be able to find out you flashed it?
You can flash the stock rom back onto the phone. Just remember to relock it as the last step.

if you see anything with HKEY or HKLM it is referring to a registry edit. To do any of registry edits you need a registry editor such as (but not limited to) PHM or Resco explorer. These are free .cab files that can be downloaded automaticly to your phone.
What they are saying at PPC is that if you flash any roms to your phones and something happens to it or you need to take it in for repair you HAVE to change it back (or flash it back) to its original operating system...you know the laggy nonresponsiveness lol. Otherwise you run the risk of never being able to buy a phone from that company again and I dont know what else but I keep imagining public castration...which is extremly scary to me <_>
As far as battery life etc, there are some tweaks for the battery life and certain ROMS actually save battery life. There are also some programs that save battery life as well.
Theres a locking function called JMZ lockscreen that is included in some roms...personally I dont use it but then again its user preference.
I would recommend if you are wanting to change your phone a little. Look into how to unlock your phone so you can start flashing roms. The initial process takes a little bit of time, but its like riding a bike everything takes time. feel free to email me if you want and have any questions and Ill do my best to help you out.
*edit* One last thing that is CRUCIALLY important. When you go to flash a rom if you are a CDMA (verizon, etc) carrier do NOT try to install a GSM (att, etc) rom on your phone or you will kill it.
I will definatley be reading up on this stuff this weekend. I cant stand typing messages sideways anymore. Thanks for your help. Im sure Ill be posting a few more questions soon!
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
http://www.4shared.com/file/pxK7WmZh/ALEE23569NCV2.html
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.

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

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.
