Is it possible to port 'official' WM6 ROM of HTC Touch(Elf) to the Prophet? - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development

I was wondering is this possible.
The hardware spec. is pretty much the same, except the TouchFLO.

I think ... the Touchscreen is differnet and the main Problem. I have see, the first ported touch cube starts via hardware key! not like on a elf.

Touchflow available on Wizard???
I am not too sure if the H/W if so diff... I think someone has been succesful in porting touch flow to the Wizard.
Check out the following link..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313656

Actually, I didn't hope for the TouchFLO to work.
Just that this may be the first official WM6 ROM for HTC Device.
It may be a good and stable base ROM for further development.

Would it help if I uploaded the rom of the german o2 version of the htc touch. My brother got one yesterday. From the first look is the touchscreen pretty much the same as that of the prophet. Same memory size and processor type, too. Just more MHz.

not working
I've tryed to flash a rom with all the OEM parts from the ELF the only new app I got working was the new camera wich by the way is realy cool. but none of the other apps worked. they did load but where not displayed. like the commanager showed no images but I could turn on bluetooth by pressing the screen where the image was supose to be.
to get it to work some dll files must be modified

what would be handy is to get the battery driver from this rom and try it, as this is still giving problems on the current WM6 roms.....

Has anyone else tried this driver on there device?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416474
Seems to have speeded up the scrolling on my phone and made it more responsive when i touch the screen.
I may be imagining it though.
Someone else try and let me know what you think?
I've cooked my ROM using it : my Niki seems to be a little more responsive than with the HTC one, but I haven't benchmarked it, so I don't know if it's my mind or the driver
In fact, since it can't be worst than original D3D driver, I think I'll keep it for a while...
I have try it...
and seems that it doesn't work
I use official rom ported to WM6.1
What do you mean by "it doesn't work" ?
My device has a ROM cooked thanks to jerpelea's kitchen, and when I mod the registry in order to use the Omnia driver, everything look OK for me...
CAb installed succesfully on my HTC TOuch ( ELF) with self cooked rom wm6.1 !
I perform benchmark actually !
Note : This driver is for the graphical ? or for the processor ?
Thanks !
It's a D3Ddriver, but a software driver...
I cooked it, not used the cab... Maybe the problem come from it ?
I heard that drivers need to be cooked, cant be just installed.
Does it work better? Or there isnt much diference? How about in 3d games?
Hi,
It´s possible to install this drivers in an original rom?
Thanks in advance.
Huiguita
I think we need to wait the NEw htc wm6.1 rom, and update our drivers
These driver will not work on niki because Omnia based on Intel Xscale CPU without video accelerator.
CPU in omnia can understand MMX instructions, this is the main reason it works very fast in video decoding (About 1.5times faster than HTC Diamond)
P.S. Doesn't work means thats there is no any differences after installing

after all, what do we need to speed niki performance?

I cooked a rom. Basically, it's a PTG OEM Rom, but with drivers from Dopod s600. Used same method that xangma. However, I'm testing the rom now, but the system seems to be the same, no improves. Maybe I'm wrong, but there's no software benchmarks can I do to display driver?
Other question, there's any way to improve system performance? I've installed advanced configuration, but file cache was already enabled.
By using original Touch Dual driver, you device will be freeze up every time you touch the touchscreen (Thanks HTC!)
Dopod S600 driver doesn't have this problem
Tiago Machado - try to clean up you rom

I've flashed the Rom minutes ago so I've only Resco explorer and Adv. Config. installed. I'm confused because, when I use Mary, Tom, and Shark Rom's, they come with a lot of programs and are faster than mine now, so I always thought that the speed was conected with the video driver.
So... how can I put my rom working like yours?
May be you just made something wrong with cooking?
When i have cook my self rom (20753 build), it was isn't faster, isn't slower than other rom

No... The only thing I've done was replace all touch.dll folder. I wanted to have two roms exactly the same but with differente video drivers so I can compare... But I will do some tests now. I've downloaded this software and it's running right now.
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-vsbenchmark-2007-v1-20.html
Dont you know a better software?
I just finished the benchmarks... well... the results are almost the same So many hours cooking and then I even dont know want gonne wrong... anyone have the results with and withouth most recent video driver so we can compare?
Nothing wrong, just there is no any video driver that will work on niki

So, why are some roms faster than the others?
Various builds, cleaning, etc.
I use original rom ported to wm6.1
I don't think Mary rom, or Tom's rom work much faster that my one (I have tested it, benchmarking prof it).
Can you cook rom, that contains build from kaiser, radio from kaiser, and .dll from kaiser (DDI.DLL, DISPTOOLS.DLL and another that can be compatible with niki)?
May be it will allow to use D3d driver from kaiser

I dont think that will work Even if I believe it works, I really cant do it. Really a noob Cant you help me faster my rom?
i forgot one thing... there is several programs from original touchflo
They made by HTC (calls HTC_program, htc_settings, they launch from large start menu) they change original programs and settings window to another one (They look absolutely same, but they isn't same). In result it works more faster.
For example - touchscrolling in program's applet. Without this programm, scrolling so laggy (Thanks HTC!), but by using it, scrolling works without any freezes/stops/lags

HW 3D driver somewhere ? TF3D...

Hi !
i am new to nike and still stoked, such a nice device
Now i read that Manila3D is almost good to go - And i´ve read that Qualcomm is 3D capable, too.
What about some working (ati?) 3D drivers ?
Just would like to get information for my know-how.
Thanks !
This drivers must be ported first. Just installing doesn't have any results

i have tested the 3.55 kaiser ddi drivers with the new 3d drivers that work for kaiser
but on niki i dont get hardware acceleration
till now there are 3 usable drivers(software)
1.from latest opal rom (works but is not fast)
2.from latest opal rom (works and is faster than any htc driver)
3.from latest niki rom 2.12 (the worst)
i can not get 3d working even if i flashed kaiser radio rom and i have used kaiser drivers
there is something else needed (maibe in SPL or IPL)
BR
Okay thank you !
If there is anything that has to be tested...I am the one...
ATM i donßt een have a clue about that, so i´ll have to read a lot till then...
These drivers must be ported for niki (I didn't mean porting to rom)
Kaiser and Niki similiar, but not same. We need someone, who can disassemble and improve .dll's
Polaris already got working drivers

My shot is the kernel... this driver don´t work in NIKI´s kernel.
In order to work with the hardware, the driver needs to operate with the kernel. On a computer the SO kernel uses the HAL(hardware abstraction layer) so that one kernel can work with hundreds of hardware configurations. On the PCC/WinCE platform, the kernel is specific, so in the absence of HAL any driver will be specific to that configuratio too. So we need a modded driver wich can work on NIKI´s kernel...
The I/SPL will not add much on this...
We almost have a working SW driver haven´t we ?
So maybe TF3D will be just fine, when it´s done...
Sorry but i am not a software guy

i have an working os for nike with kaiser original video drivers

please keep my informed which driver package you used (Kaiser or Polaris? modified or original?) and wether you need special ROM for this (ie, you ported kaiser ddi or smth manually?)
This so that info can be put up on the HTC-CA site

Alex, any feedback on installing the cab file. I'm keen to try it out, but currently busy testing a rom for one of the cookers. (don't want to skew my results )
Whoa, so what is this useful for? Just 3d? I want bloody 2d fixed first! It's horrible! =P
And what's that bug? Could you explain it a little more? Also, can that cab be installed with any rom or only that one you provided?

Good to know. You ported the Kaiser DDI to Nike, interesting.
How did you solve the power issue, though?
What about the 2d scrolling etc?

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.

Sedna ROM's cooked

i cooked a rom for the p6500
this .NBH contains the radio and os and its WM 6.1
to use it make sure you have hard SPL'ed your device before you flash this rom...so you can always go back to the offical ROM
anyway this rom has lots of stuff taken out like
HTC Home, BT Explorer, BT Sap, Adpbe Reader LE , HTC Audio Manager, Htc Task manager, Smart Dialing, Htc Comm Manager... and a few more thingstweaked here and there...
i think its better to build you system from the bare amount and then take a backup of it with SKTools or SPB Backup. so this is like a bare rom with a few things changed....
ON THE WAY>>>
FIXED>>>NOW>>>TESTED>>>WORKING
THIS ONE WORKS>>>!!!!
also dont put this on straight from WM6, Flash WM6.1 Offical First then flash this.. you see it only contains the radio and os .. no IPL so to make sure it works make sure you have 6.1 on your device first... then all should be good.
it might work flashing from wm6 but i dont know..
well if anybody tries it let me know what they think...OK

let me know how ye get on please... and help if u can...
Update erorr 270.I used tools from official package with spl Olipro 1.20 but no results....
fixing it.... fixing it... ...FIXED!!
sorry bout that popgo just missed something putting in the radio.. well its working now
new link above and old one is deleted..so try it out now
this one i flashed before i posted and it is working, sorry bout the other one it was my first offering of a cooked ROM
ive been cooking for a few year but am still a NOOB but ROM's work perfect. Only posted this cause senda is lacking in available ROMs..maybe ill become a XDA DEV STAR...lol let me know what you think of ROM. BTW use the official rom update tool just replace the .nbh with my RUU_Special.nbh offering.
Please leave feedback and ask questions if you want.. anyway. try this one now, is definitely working now.. link above
what do you all think..??? any good..?? well...
How do you delete a post>>>?
Successfully installed your rom gardee005!!!At the first sight, fast rom with increased storage memory, because of removing old programs like htc zip, audio manager..., build OS is the same as the official, relatively clean rom.Still testing stability, gps, wlan.Thanks....
yup it works.. anyway in settings you might notice some things are gone..
Domain Enroll, Feedback, ..etc. well they are just hidden.. it in the regisrty HKLM/Control Panel/... and whichever one i thought was useless i hid...
just in case you want to use one just delete the entry 'hide=1' for whichever
also file explorer is replaced altogethe and calculator for better one.
dont try to dump and edit this rom because i removed all the .rgu entries just before cooking
anyway if you cooking i think your better off starting with an offical rom..
Also in this ROM, NAND Flash Recovery is fixed and will work...
unlike the offical rom ( just goes to show the experts are human and officals Roms contain mistakes)
the reason why is on another post bout NAND Flash Recovery
And popgo let me know if you find any glitches... and ill fix them if i can or let you know if i cant or if its WM6.1 at fault
OS's aren't perfect and the more complicated they get the more glitches are going to creep in
any way thanks for trying out my offering and hope you like it
Everything works fine and smoothly, without any glitches and braking.Opera fine works(over wlan), as well i go nav, lower program memory consumption.I like it....great job gardee005.By the way, have you any experience with touch flo/manila?How it works on Sedna?
no i dont use touch flo so i dont know much about it..in fact i have never used it.
but i know HTC album works great on sedna, have it open in portrait mode by tweaking start up entry , add '-mode:camera -type:image' with new file explorer (GS Finder) to tits shortcut in start menu folder.
anyway i dont think i like wm6.1... think is a bit buggy and i think wm6 is better(less buggy) so im gonna do the same idea for wm6 and when i do ill post it here
TCPMP wont work without serious tweaking in 6.1 but AFAIK it works no probs wm6.
im not sure bout which version is most buggy but i think its wm6.1... ill do a version, post it and use it myself.
ive been using this one for bout 1 month and before that wm6 for bout 2 weeks and i think im right in my suspicion bout 6.1 been a bit of a pain compared to 6.0 ...
Link's dead
Hey there,
I'd really like to check out the ROM you made, but the link is dead...
I have some spare-webspace to host the file once I get it myself, to ensure the file will be available for all, without limits.
Zappo uploaded it again... Post your link and ill add it to the first Post ...
anyway ther is a new like up above...OK
Let me know waht you think....
I am planing on doing a WM6.0 one as i think i prefer that version but have been too busy at the moment... but i will get around to it as soon as i can...
This Device have any Cookers??
And You do not want more?
If anyone want... I cook new rom for this device
Cheers
Great nokser,
i have Sedna and I wish to try your new rom.
Greetings from Serbia.
There is only one obstacle. I do not have equipment.
Any suggestions, ideas?
I need to know how much it is willing for the new ROM ..
