digi's version 1 ROM based on dcd's 161 kitchen - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

I've enjoyed dcd's work since I first found his Alltel clean ROM. Really made my Mogul run like it is supposed to. After I saw the dcd kitchen was released I started customizing it to the base I need start loading my own custom apps.
I've changed a few minor things and added these apps:
Wktask
Quickmenu
HTC Home
HTC Audio Manager
HTC Camera Album
Ledkiller 3.1
Pocket Rar
Some of the applications are customized a little bit to what I normally use. This was built with Sprint as the carrier in the kitchen.
DISCLAIMER: If you don't know what you are doing with flashing your phone then don't bother with this, you are responsible for your own actions here.

The only thing I noticed with mine the other day was I had switched my phone to roam only and it locked up my phone again after an hour or so. But I've had issues with setting it to roam only with every single ROM and radio version I've tried.

getting 3.0.4 dialer into 3.1.6, to stop phone popup

I've tried moving the vogue dialer from the oem folder of 3.0.4 into 3.1.6, then flashed my phone with it. the phone works, BUT it's missing some stuff. Like location. If i go under settings/phone, there's no longer the tab that has the location/mode of operation. I know i'm missing a folder that isn't in the oem folder that i need to carry over into 3.1.6. anyone know what the extra files in 3.0.4 that i need?
This is unnecessary. There is no problem with the dialer. I repeat, there is NO problem with the dialer. Something you're doing, or some program you're using after the flash is creating your problems. I tested 3.1.2 before it was released. I also tested 3.1.3, 3.1.4, 3.1.5 and then 3.1.6 before it was released. We're talking about weeks and weeks of running these roms and I've never seen nor have been able to reproduce this problem.

pocketplus is making the phone pop up, and i want to use the program. i've tried using all different versions of pocketplus 4 and all of them still makes it pop up. if i install htc home after i install pocketplus it stops the phone from popping up, but i don't want htc home because it leaks ram, even when i don't have the today item active. i'm guessing it's a reg edit that pocketplus makes during a install that makes the phone pop up.
I was having the same problem with 3.1.2 and 3.1.6, I am also running PocketPlus. The fix that worked for me was selecting the standard Titan dialer in the kitchen. Afterwards you can install the "mogul_big_button_dialer" in order to have the...you guessed it...big button dialer.

nueROM3 vs. DCD 3.3.4

Has anyone compared DCDs newest ROM (3.3.4) to the latest nueROM3? Now that Scrosler is no longer going to produce new ROMs for us, I am running Update 20 of Manila 2D on nueROM3 (produced via kitchen). However, just curious how that compares, as far as stability goes, to DCDs latest. I always liked DCDs work, but had to start using nueROM awhile ago because of memory.
Anyone ran the latest of these two and can offer an unbiased opinion?
I've been doing my own M2D+nueROM3 for a while now.
I have to say, if you spend the time and patience, you can end up with a beautiful build. I'm very happy with mine right now.
As far as comparing to DCD 3.3.4, I haven't messed with 3.3.4 and refuse to do so without the kitchen.
Do you have an opinion on the new PocketIE yet?
scrawnyb: I'm finding the same thing so far, not too bad with latest nueROM3 + Manila 2D Update 20, but since DCDs ROMs are usually very stable, just wanted to see what others thought.
Personally, I think the new IE looks good, but it is just TOOOOO slow! Obviously was designed for a machine with more memory. So most of the time I just stick with Opera Mini; however, there are times when I have to use IE simply because the site only works on IE, or it is simply safer to use a stand-alone browser (like when going to mobile bank site). Personally, I wish I could reinstall the old IE Mobile - you know of a way to do that with nueROM3?
I perfer nuerom's memory management over DCD 3.3.4. Not to mention being able to turn the camera off and start at 28 megs free.
After trying both for a week without M2D installed and a week with M2D installed I find that 3.3.4 has pretty much no memory leaks, where 3pre3 had terrible memory leaks. 3.3.4 would boot for me at about 27 Mb and after a few days wold only leak down to 25 at idle (few days without a soft reset). Same situation with 3pre3 would have me booting at 32 Mb and leaking down to about 25 after a few days (no soft reset either).
With M2d installed and configured how I like, 3pre3 would boot at 26Mb and would leak down to about 21 Mb by the end of the day. 3.3.4 with the exact same configuration boots at about 21Mb and after a few days has not leaked down past 20 Mb.
I took all memory samples the same way: Fresh installs of ROMs, added my preferred cabs (Java, one game, skyfire, etc...) soft reset then waited for full boot. Closed all programs in task manager and used oxios hibernate. Then after a few days, just soft reset and used oxios hibernate. Then I did the same process, (I started with a hard reset on both ROMS) and installed the same apps and then M2D without opera mobile.
Only thing I wished I would have done was to take screen shots so I could have posted them.
Although 3pre3 does have more RAM at boot in both cases,I think I am still going to run 3.3.4 until the next version of nuerom comes out to try. I dont mind soft resetting every day, but if i ever forgot to with 3pre3 i would eventually get some out of memory error messages until I reset. So far after about a week with 3.3.4 I have not had any error messages after a few days just closing apps down, no reset.
DCD just has rock solid ROMs, what more can we say but a big Thank you?
I forgot to mention that 3pre3 with camera enabled had less available RAM than 3.3.4 in both cases. Only 1~2 Mb difference but it was worth mentioning.
Also I cooked different versions of ROMs with M2d in the kitchen and they were the absolute worst on memory leaks. I still use cab installs from the M2d thread, still using update 19b files and procedure. seems to work good on my device.

Agreed very nice work I used nueROM3 and DCD and am sticking with 3.3.4 but thats just my two cents
My testing may be skewed slightly and I apologize. I cooked MSVC into 3pre3 and have been reading that has a few memory leaks. 3.3.4 has no voice command, and it would not be fair to add a cab VS. cooking with an oem between the two ROMs. I also added MS office apps for work by cab to 3pre3, although they did not seem to have any memory leaks as far as I could tell.
I was trying to be as subjective as possible, but those were two Items I had completely forgot about this morning when I typed this
Also, if running M2D I always disable the weather, search and music tabs as I launch programs from the launcher tab to do these tasks. The weather tab alone causes much memory leakage and always has since I first ran M2D. Also I quit installing Opera mobile because it hogs memory and messes with HTML file opening, so I have been using the new M2DC program to map the internet tab to opera mini, which runs great.
When it comes down to it, I guess it is hard to compare two great ROMs from different builders as for the end user (me in this case) the programs were installed differently with different versions in different ways.
Sorry if I mislead anybody, but my setup with 3.3.4 seems to be more stable still. Maybe I should write a tutorial for how I got my device set up with success I really have not done anything super fancy with programming, and have not touched the reg editor with either rom. I think the average user like me would benefit from using DCD's latest if they like M2D.
Just my .02
I tried 3.3.4 for a few days after using pre3 for about a month. I always like DCD ROMs, but I also like having more memory. On 3.3.4, I found that windows mobile would close opera when I changed opened other programs, while this would happen less so with pre3.
A few days later, the new nueROM came out. I tried it for a few days, but the internet explorer drove me crazy. I use Beyondpod for podcasts, and that program is based on internet explorer. It changed Beyondpod layout (which I learned how to fix in the registry), and seemed to have more connection problems.
So now I am back to pre3. My biggest complaint is nueROM has that touch-like finger scrolling, which I hate cause it means I can't highlight. I've looked high and low over the internet to no avail.
as far as memory leaks, I have to phone set up to reset every 4am (and close my flashcard program). I never really checked to see how much leaking there is, and just started the daily resets a couple of days ago.

TUTORIAL PLZX!
Well, after reading all this, I think I am going to reflash and give the new DCD ROM a try. Although nueROM3 is great, I also think there is some memory leaks somewhere - I go from 25MB sometimes down to 13MB with nothing but M2D loaded, even without VC - plus, I hate the new IE! It is so VERY slow - I use Opera Mini but for the times I absolutely need to use IE I can't with this new version.
I'll let you know what I think once I run it for awhile.
Well, I am thinking about going back the other way, as when I installed windows live cab I always use, it really ****ed up my contacts. it attached all my onlive hotmail contacts to existing entries in my phonebook, none of which were correct. This means windows live (3 different current versions I have tried) messenger does not work, as does dialing by name. there are too many additions to the contact list. I hard reset 3.3.4 and reloaded all my contacts and went through the whole install again and it still occurs.
Great ROM, but tha twas a deal breaker. I think I may try 3pre3 again, but try tweaking it all i can to keep those memory leaks down. At least then I can keep my contacts seperated
I am not writing a tutorial here, that was kind of a joke. there are tutorials for loading cabs for any program you would like on here, just search and find them. Me finding problems weeks after loading roms is why I am no developer by any means. Saved you all the hassle of re-writing your contcts!

Windows live synced contacts IS a major snafu. But hey, you get what you pay for. I use my Exchange for all my contacts. Never a problem.
Whenever I install windows live I ALWAYS uncheck sync contacts. The problem is that everytime you open up contacts on the mogul, it starts an internet connection to sync with your Live contacts. So your contacts look empty until it syncs. This can take a LONG time.
Hope this helps...

XDA member tends to lean toward DCD because he releases his work here and is more geared toward stability.
If you start same same exact post over at ppcgeeks, I bet nueROM is preferred by users, cause he releases overthere.
bottomline
DCD = lean solid ROM, no flashy junk that usully causes leaks and problem ; for advance users
NueTOM = ROM with nice goodies; but goodies comes with baggage (i.e. few memory leaks, occasional crashes, soft reset); recommended for intermediate users.
Well, I am thinking myself about going back to nueROM. Not that I don't like DCDs work - it is great - but with 3.3.4 there still seems to be some memory leaks (keeps going down). I also heard that DCD kinda rushed the 3.3.4 release just to get it out there because of the pressure. Plus, I love the extra memory that nueROM gives me.
However, the one thing that really bugs me with nueROM is that in his latest unified kitchen he included that stupid new mobile IE browser - that thing is the slowest pig in the world! I use Opera Mini for most of my browsing, but when I do need IE it is just too frustrating. Would rather keep the old IE on there. Anyone know if there is a cab somewhere that will replace the new IE with the older mobile IE version.
Anyway, I may go back to nueROM for the time being but when DCD makes his next new ROM then I may try it again.

I found this on the nueruom thread. I tried it with the latest neurom, and internet explorer seemed to work like the old IE. That of course didn't help me. My problem is with BeyondPod, my podcast player, which relies on IE for it's formatting. That was still messed up. So I am using nueROM pre3, which has the old IE. I am addicted to the extra RAM.
if using a kitchen, remove the folder BROWSINGIE from the core before cooking. The browser defaults to pIE instead of IE6.
Apparently, IE6 is just a bunch of plugins and junk that sits atop pocketIE. If you remove them, pie is still there.
Works better this way than installing a .cab, and I've found myself able to do all the stuff that ie6 broke (flash bundle, logmein, etc).
nueCPL Kernel
Hi all,
I just tried the nuerom -m for titan. Earlier I was on DCD 3.3.4, which i think is better than nuerom. One feature that i liked in nuerom is of - disabling camer and using high memory by nueCPL kernel. Is this possible on DCD Rom 3.3.4. It fress up almost 5mb of Ram and camera is used very rarely so it can be disabled. Any body to help.
Regards
Tarun
no you cannot rescue the RAM that the camera uses in dcd roms.

You will note I added all my extra apps in Sensor Apps and Utilities keeping the Programs folder a little cleaner. You can also see that I mapped Contacts (iContacts to be exact) to the left softkey when on the home page. Thats a must have for me becuase I dont use the contacts tab.
Flashed and running nicely, seems off the bat more the smoothest to date, haven't yet done much customization but from just walking through it, it seems to me that it is actually reclaiming ram from closed apps a bit better, but could just be that new rom feel Did you happen to add the htc update to this one by any chance or will i still need to install that?, all in all impressive as usual. Thanks for your hard work and mad kudo's.
Don't you sleep?
I will be trying the ROM either later today or tomorrow.
I look forward to reporting nothing but AWESOMEness back.
Awesome man, we all really appreciate your hard work. Havent tried out your new Rom yet, still pleased with your Rev 1 . Do look forward to the screenshots though, sounds tempting.
Nice rom! Thanks for supporting VZW TP!
can someone link me the stock vzw rom...not the prerelease that i found on ppcgeeks sticky page, i plan on exchanging vzw tp and receive a replacement due to hardware issue so would like official release. Thanks. I already searched as well...might have missed it tho.
I just put your rom on and love it! I have been installing everything you are putting out. My memory usage was exactly the same as yours. One issue I am trying to figure out is vznav is not working. It was working for me in your previous build but not this one. The error I am getting is that "there was a problem initializing the GPS. Please exit and restart vz navigator."
Any ideas? I set the location to on, I have checked my account and I have vz nav with verizon.
Thanks,
Mike
Very wierd, I just kept trying over and over and finally it started working. I did try starting it at least 10 times. Now it works. Wierd. oh well at least it works again.

That happens when you first instawll and launch it. Typical. Takes me three times and I am good ;c) Has done that on the stock ROM for me as well as my own cooked ROMS. After it initializes and sets itself up its good from then on.
Glad it's running though. Would sound stupid calling the VZNav ROM if VZ Nav didint work! hahahahaha

That is the stock ROM. I now it says pre-relewase but its the same verision that came on the phone. I looked at this very closely before I flashed for the first time. Trust me, you can use that to send the phone back. Many people already have.

It should be a little bit faster. Not a placebo affect if that is what you think. I added some of my tweaks and some tweaks from all over th enet. Nothing major... Just things like glyphe cache, services, etc. I also bumped up the touch sensitivity just a hair. That alone makes the phone feel 10 times faster. A little here and there is all it takes on this phone. Its has soo much potential.
Hey Scott,
Do you have something against the state of Washington?
j/k - FYI Weather tab Washington shows blank for all cities. Not that I live there,... but since it's usually raining in Seattle I like to have that city on there for the graphics of the windshield wiper.
Great ROM - not a huge fan of iContacts, but that's probably just because I haven't used it too much.
When I first powered up - it seemed very jittery and laggy,... but now - after I installed my core apps, it acts much better. I performed NO additional tweaks or anything - just rebooted after restoring all my data and logs.
Did notice that SMS sent notification is BACK,... I have to go find that registry edit and take that out again (very annoying). And Opera is not the default browser (I actually prefer that) but I didn't know if that was intentional or just happened? PIE seems to load so much faster when clicking a link in e-mail,... but Opera has all those neat features.
I like the new look with the new icons and the flip clock! Thanks for that!
Keep up the great work - truly do appreciate it!!
Thanks for that info Scrosler!

I hate the state of washington. No just kidding! I dont know why it did that. I used the same weather database I used in my last ROM. i will look at it tonight.
The reason it seems slow and laggy on first boot is because it is. I dont know if it was a good idea to have TouchFlow launch during first boot and autoinstall but i did.... Heheh... but like you said, after that it is fine. The lag isnt very bad as long as you wait for everything to load first. Thats my biggest challange. Getting the boot time down. Not sure how to make that great yet.....
The flip clock is indeed nice ;c)
Sorry you are not a big fan of iContact. I think I have tried every contact app and liked this one best. I will post the kitchen sometime this weekend and you can always cook one without it. I also need mod my site to include the link to the VC ROM. I will do that tonight. I know alot of peeps use VC but I hate it. Never ever recognizes my voice for anything at all. I dont get it.
Thanks for the feedback and I am glad you are enjoying it!

Cool, here is the cab that I OEM'ed. I dont know how I left that out... My bad!
I also included a cab for Start Clean. This erases your recently used programs from start menu everytime you boot. I love it. I hate the MRU set up.
Would someone with the new rom post some screenshots?

Sleep? WTF is that? No just kidding. I have two modes for ROM building.
Tinker mode which is at my leisure. Sleep normally and only work on the ROM at home. Then there is XDA mode where I litterally dont sleep for two or three days and just keep coooking all night long like a meth addict! Thats usually starts on Friday night and ends on SUnday night around 3:00am Monday morning! hahaha.
This weekend will be chill though. Just going to sit back and wait for comments to roll in to see how I did with this ROM and go from there.

Yeah, you may or may not like this ROM as I did detract from the stock look and feel just a little bit. But on the same note its the quickest Rom yet and has more available memory with no missing features.
I will try to get a couple screenshots up in a few. Sorta busy with crap at work today. Let me see if I have My Mobilier on this work machine. I forget....... Long night last night. hehehehe....
EDIT: Ok I got the home screen and App screen up. Let me know what else you may want to see before flashing....

Best dcd rom?

This is my first thread and i was wondering what is the best DCD Rom for the Mogul. I would appreciate ur opinion. Thank you.
For me, 3.2.6, and 4.1.2.
It really depends on how you use the phone and the apps you use. I have no issues at all with 4.1.2..
why dont you try them all then come back and tell us, there is really no point in trying to compare them all. people get upset about that
I have been with 3.3.4 for a long time, and its pretty much the ROM I'm sticking to until I get a new phone, or something amazing comes out (like a very stable 6.5 build).
3.2.6 works great for me.
I'm using 4.1.2 right now. I have only a couple small issues with it; the dialer is kind of ugly, the version of IE it has doesn't render pages as well as an older DCD (although finger scrolling is cool), I can no longer select multiple emails in Outlook via tap and drag, and I can't get Internet sharing to work even though it did on older DCD builds. Otherwise it is rock solid and snappy. I'm happy with it until a good 6.5 ROM comes out that has ICS and working ActiveSync.

Do you know what the last DCD ROM that was able to select multiple items in Outlook by tap and drag was? Anyone still have the kitchen for said version? 3.2.6 also has the new behaviour.

3.3.4 had it. I was using that build before 4.1.2.

04/13/2009 nerdstrap's rom build 21042.1.6.0

New ROM chef here... It's taken me a few weeks to get the hang of it, but I finally have a rom that builds, flashes and runs stable!
My Goals: to keep the Titan up to date with a clean, stable and fast rom
Details:
XIP 21041
SYS 21042 - built from Topaz Core and Iolite QVGA SYS.
Drivers/OEM - built from Sprint and DCD 3.2.6
Changes from 4/13/2009 build (21042)
1. Voice Command restored
2. updated htmlnote.dll - unread sms issue resolved
3. updated keyboard driver so that the special characters work on the Owners Info phone textbox
Issues:
1. The WMP video playback issue still exists... I haven't uncovered the reason yet???
Features:
1. Clean - no added OEMs beyond core
2. Fast - 21042 is blazing
3. Free Memory - I installed Oxios and I regularly have 26,000+ free after boot
4. IE6
Built using Bepe's kitchen and based off of DCD's 3.2.6 base - I haven't recreated all of 3.2.6, but it's getting there
TODO:
1. clean up Windows directory
2. upgrade control panels
3. tweak more of the registry
4. create kitchen
Downloads:
1. ROM via Rapidshare
2. DCD carrier cabs
As always, flash at your own risk! Let me know what you think
I have no idea why there hasn't been any replies on this, but I loaded this ROM and it seems to run fine. I'll post more info if I find anything wrong/nice/etc. about it.
21040 build gave me some issues with my UC. I'll give this one a try tommorow, is almost bedtime here now. but 26 at boot sounds good to me since i use m2d.
Can anyone provide a non-RapidShare mirror to the ROM? It keeps saying I'm already downloading a file even though I am not. RapidShare doesn't play well with my ISP.
I don't know if it was the new ROM or not, but my phone surprised me this morning!!!
Normally, when a call comes in, my PRIUS plays a generic ringtone while my phone plays a custom ringtone.
This morning, the custom ringtone came through my car speakers!!! It didn't play on my phone at all?
Is this a feature of the newer bluetooth stack in the OS? If so, I am loving it!
I am running the ROM right now and it has a lot of free memory. I have had no problems thus far.

I think when I was running Reloaded 1.3.4 the phone would wake up when I got a call but the only sound came through my Bluetooth headset. Maybe a headset works differently from the car though.
Just flashed it.
Only problem I've found so far is that, just like DCD 3.3.4, Windows Media Player will not play any videos.
I also noticed that IE isn't quite as smooth as it is in Skip's ROM.
Edit: Played with it a little more and it also seems to have the unread text messages issue that has been plaguing a lot of recent ROMs I've tried (Skip's also has it).
Does you ROM use "User Customization". It's so simple and powerful or is there something new and better? Creation of a bare install and let user add whatever they want.
What is UC? It is a feature contained in UC capable ROMs. A UC capable ROM extends initial customization to your SD card so you can load cabs and install XML files that are located there too. What this means is that once you get your customization scripts right, you can flash any UC capable ROM and all your apps and settings will be restored as part of the initial customization process whenever your SD card is inserted in the slot.

26+ after reboot is cool but what about running it normally. I constantly can't get anything over 10 during the day adn thats on a good day. After a long day of using it I am tired of resetting my device every like 3 minutes.
I had four freezes randomly throughout the day yesterday resulting in having to soft reset. Loved the free memory, but need some stability.
I haven't had it freeze up on me at all??? What programs are you using?
User Customization is installed.
I am going to fix the threaded sms unread problem and video playback today!
Has anyone ever had incoming text messages show up from "Sprint Operator"? It just started yesterday and it's weird... Its from a known person in my contacts too, but the number shows as 0???

Nothing crazy. I am using:
HHC with the 6 tab plugin
Enlarged start menu
S2U2 1.50
1-Calc Lite
Ariel Battery
Finger Menu 1.10
nueLight
Oxios Memory
PdG touchflo 2 dialer
Total commander
TouchBack v 1_0
Google maps
The same stuff I run on every rom. Anything else that I use (media player, IE) were on the rom.
It tends to freeze up right after being removed from my cradle by my desk.
I run Nerdstrap's stock rom with Aerial battery and do not experience any freezing. Actually, this is probably the most stable and fastest rom I can remember running.
Thanks!

the text messaging system in the more recent 6.1 builds is KILLING ME!! it's not just unread either, sometimes it won't save them (so if you soft reset, you lose stuff) or the the way it handles messages that couldn't be sent. (
But this sounds like a cool rom, and if I get some free time, I'll try it out. Though I'm probably gonna get a vogue soon. :/
--delete. wrong tab :x--
Is this WM6.5?
new build to be uploaded around 4pm...
fixed the unread sms
fixed the video playback
Cycomachead - sms can be lost during a soft reset if the registry has not been flushed. I use nuePowerCPL to commit the registry before I perform a soft-reset for this reason alone.
JukEboXAuDiO - 6.5 builds are number with 211###, this is still a 6.1 rom 210###
uploaded new version
1. fixed threaded sms unread issue
2. updated keyboard driver
3. didnt fix video playback in wmp
meh, screw wmplayback, just install TCPMP-0.72RC1-ARM-PPC-recomp-03.CAB
