Here I have a bunch of boring ROMs for your StarTrek. I call them boring because they are devoid of any personalization, customization, or 3rd party apps other than what comes with a shipping ROM. These ROMs are OS only, will not change your initial splash or radio (but it does change the operator splash). A text file ReadMe.txt in the download contains brief instructions on how to flash this ROM. Apparently the 3.06 IPL/SPL in QTEK ROMs is broken and cannot recover via MicroSD so I would recommend updating to 4.01.0001 prior to flashing any of these ROMs, although that in itself can be risky (see below for download). Enjoy, and flash at your own risk!
Details
5.2.1711 (Build 18170.0.5.1) Core OS (SYS) is ported from T-Mobile Shadow Feb. '08 update.
OEMAPPS and OEMOPERATORS are straight from CWS 4.1.502.5 ROM. It has the latest camera and apps.
OEMDrivers specific to StarTrek are the latest, from 4.1.502.5 ROM. Some common libraries are from TMO Shadow ROM.
OEM Edition for AT&T 3125 - The same old, boring, Cingular-branded ROM you're used to, only ported to WM6. My objective with the Boring Edition is a ROM that's indistinguishable from what an OEM would put on a shipping device. This is based on Cingular ROM v4.1.502.5 with many changes made throughout to work with the WM6 core, but hopefully the changes are transparent. It comes with all the bloatware and apps that came with the original Cingular ROM. If you want lots of storage and free RAM, this is NOT the ROM for you!
Adobe Reader LE 2.0 (new, from TMO Shadow, replaces original ClearVue PDF)
Office Mobile (new, replaces original ClearVue Office suite)
Windows Live/Live Messenger (new, replaces original MSN Messenger)
Microsoft Voice Command (replaces Cyberon Voice Dial)
English-only xT9 (new, from HTC S730 "Wings", dated Sep 7, 2007, replaces older T9)
Esmertek Java (new, from TMO Shadow update, replaces discontinued Tao Intent Java)
Cingular bloatware, customization, setup, and theme
Clock/carrier block of Cingular theme changed to standard WM6 style (I liked the bigger clock).
SecurityOff (required, because some apps can't install with it on)
Clean ROM WM6 - Similar to the above (same drivers), but lacking Cingular customization and bloatware. Does NOT have Microsoft Office or Adobe Reader. This will leave more storage available for 64MB devices like QTEK 8500 or iMate Smartflip. As this is an unbranded ROM, you will need to manually set up your GPRS and Proxy connections.
Windows Live/Live Messenger (new)
English-only xT9 (dated Sep 7, 2007)
Esmertec Java
Cyberon Voice Dial
SecurityOff (required, because some apps can't install with it on)
Neo Edition Clean WM6 ROM - Same as above, only added Neo theme from the T-Mobile Shadow. No other customizations.
CREDITS
Thanks to pArtizAn (Erofich), Alex[DFR], Strik3r, and Chymmylt for use of the WM6 XIP in early versions of my ROMs. Without it, my first ROM would have been delayed 2-3 weeks.
Known Bugs - Applies to all versions.
Analog Clock 2 and Analog Clock 3 on external display don't look right. NOT a WM6 bug because the original Cingular WM5 has the same problem!
Possible xT9 can't backspace on some websites bug.
Roll your own! Here are the SYS, OEM, and ROM folders for the Clean Edition ROM. Add this to your favorite kitchen. RUU included.
For experienced ROM builders only!

Other Updates
These are from the latest Cingular ROM, newest for STARTREK that I'm aware of. I have tested these and they worked fine on my phone but I am not responsible if you take the risk and they damage your phone! Flash at your own risk!

Change Log
Mar 6, 2008 - OEM version, single press of RECORD button activates Voice Command. Should support BT activation now. All clean versions now use the same animated HTC splash. Shows HTC logo on outside screen instead of blank (thanks Erofich). I figured how to port XIPs so all ROMs now use my own XIPs ported from scratch. Added Neo and WM6.1 editions.
Feb 21, 2008 - Fixed Vibrate in Profiles bug, possibly fixed Microsoft Live can't connect bug, updated some files (no longer have to press OK after cold boot setup), newer OS build (18170.0.5.1), newer Esmertec Java, Sim Manager, changed Cyberon Voice Dial to MS Voice Command on Boring version.
Feb 18, 2008 - Changed Tao Intent Java to Esmertec Java, T9 to xT9 on all versions. Added download links to latest radio and IPL/SPL.
Feb 16, 2008 - Added kitchen files for Clean Edition.
Feb 15, 2008 - Added Clean Edition. Changes to Boring Edition: T9 problem fixed, Start menu now allows scrolling (no need to press More), SecurityOff to fix programs can't install problem.
Feb 13, 2008 - Original Release of Boring ROM.

Extras
Clean ROM a little too clean? Here are some add-ons in CAB form.
Adobe Reader LE 2.0 Build 288531 (from T-Mobile Shadow)
Neo Black & Blue Theme - Only works on ROMs with Neo integrated. Not just a simple color change, I tried to copy the mockup of T-Mobile Black. It looks almost identical to the mockup on my PC, but unfortunately the conversion from 16.7m to 65k colors results in some false contouring.
thanks man!!
does gprs work in this one?

Changes
Behind-the-scenes changes were numerous, but visible changes are minimal (although I did make a few):
Office Mobile replaces ClearVue apps. Most devices that used ClearVue in WM5 were changed to Office Mobile in WM6 so monkey see, monkey do.
Adobe Reader LE 2.0 from TMO Shadow replaces ClearVue PDF.
Clock/carrier block of Cingular theme changed to standard WM6 style (I liked the bigger clock).

Will this work on i-mate SmarkFlip (out of box device without any hacks)
Yes, GPRS works, but I use T-Mobile so I had to add a connection to T-Mobile GPRS. It should work with Cingular/AT&T as-is.
It should work on a SmartFlip, but I'm not sure if you need to CID unlock first.
Downloading and installed...
Attempt 1: Read everything within the Word file. Installed right from the RomUpdate program in the root directory of your
WM6 update. Didn't work, so I will attempt what you have in the Readme text file in my next attempt....
Attempt 2: The Update Utility program says version 3.12.3.1 on the title while the pictures you have in the word file says
version 2.99. Also, when I go through to update ROM, it verifies my current Image version as 4.1.502.5,
I click Update and the next screen it indicates that it will be updating from my current version to the
new version of 1.00.000.0. Then, a minute or so later, I get the following message:
ERROR [270] : UPDATE ERROR Image file is corruprted. Please check your Update Utility.
Do you know how I could resolve this matter because you do not list error 270
within your troubleshooting material? Your UpDate program is not even the same version!
Vista Home, Cingular 3125 unlocked with current released Rom version. So, what am I missing here?
Sorry, I shouldn't have included the Word doc, it's the standard doc that came with the RUU and happened to be in the folder at the time.
Are you using SoftSPL? You MUST use the SoftSPL, it won't work to just run the RUU. The doc I wrote is ReadMeWM6.txt.
You also need to CID unlock according to the sticky thread.

@kumar00455,
GnatGoSplat noted that this should work on any StarTrek, but there is something you should be aware of. In the past, it seems like a lot of people that have tried a Cingular ROM on a StarTrek that is not a 3125 model have not liked it, because they ended up with too little storage memory. This is because Cingular has loaded a ton of large crapware programs on their ROMs. Now, that isn't a big problem for the 3125, because it is actually different hardware from all other StarTreks - it has double the storage memory (128MB) all the other StarTreks (which have 64MB). Since GnatGoSplat has tried to make this just like a Cingular ROM, with all the added programs, you may find you have the same problem. However, I do think there is a thread here somewhere that talks about how to clean all the crapware off of a Cingular 3125 ROM and reclaim some storage memory.
@GnatGoSplat,
Thanks for putting this together - I think I will try it soon on my 3125! I would be very interested in a cleaned-up version and a kitchen as well. And of course, many thanks to Erofich and everyone else who worked on getting WM6 on the StarTrek. I thought we would never see this day!
Oh yeah, I forgot the 3125's have double the storage memory!
I'll make a slimmer, cleaner ROM as soon as enough people have tried this one to confirm it doesn't have any significant problems.
What apps are essential to keep in a cleaner ROM and which can go? What are typical apps that come on a Smartflip or 8500?
device PIN lock working?
Can anyone who has tried this ROM tell me if the security PIN lock works correctly without any problems? I sync my 3125 with my corporate Exchange server, and our IT people enforce a device PIN lock requirement through the Exchange server. So I have to enter a 6 digit PIN if the phone has been idle over an hour. Anyway, I'm interested in flashing this ROM, but if there is any problem with that functionality in this ROM, it would be a deal-killer for me... Thanx...

I do like your approach here, though. Start with something as much like the carrier ROM as possible until you know that it's pretty stable, then put it on a nice diet to make it lean and mean. Makes good sense to me...

Put it in the root of your device /not/ Windows. Start softspl.lnk as it says in the manual
I tried to use the program you directed the user to transfer. Everytime I clicked on it, I would get an error which stated that the link's program could not be found.
Don't get me wrong over here, I read the directions a few times and did everything you instructed. I am pretty good with directions and I am not one for doing things my own way. If I could help in anyway, just say something. I have alot of times on my hands and I am educated in matters, like, programming on my home desktop.
I made several attempts, I still get the same error, time and time again.
Are you trying to run the correct SPL? The one that looks like a square with a blue bar on top is the correct one. The one that looks like a piece of paper with the corner folded and a Microsoft icon in the center is NOT the right one.
Also, copy ONLY the files and NOT the whole folder. All these files need to be on ROOT folder of your device. If you're using ActiveSync, when you open your device icon, it defaults to My Documents so you have to go to My Device.
Okay, there we go. I copied the entire folder. Sorry. :O(
I'll make a new attempt in just a few.
UPDATE: I tried it, and now instead of an error, it just doesn't do anything. Sorry.
GnatGoSplat -
Thanks man, this ROM has been perfect so far. Just like my previous cingular rom with WM5. You did a superb job. This is just what I was looking for. Thanks Again!
I am waiting for the slimmer ROM since my device is teh European QTEK 8500. I am waiting impatiently

I just put together the following pieces
OS 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
ExtROM 1.72.902
"CountryCode" = TMOBILE
All configured for T-Mobile NL
Plz. Post any comments
(Plz. note this thread replaces http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11781 )
8-11-2004 20:57 GMT: New version V2 uploaded.
I added a small archive containing the changed ExtROM files to solve the earlier reported errors (not updating ExtROM version and not making IIWPO un-installable).
Comment on IIWPO and making it un-installable: After having customized & installed IIWPO, you will have to do one of the following to make it un-installable if youre using the 1.72.902 ExtROM:
a. Another hard-reset
b. Running Version_172_902.cab from the ExtROM
NOTE: This thread is being replaced by
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=68652#68652
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am d/l'ing right now and will be installing shortly...
One request... You might want to include the cab for setting up IIWPO in case someone is installing it into the phone.
edsub Thanks.
Question tho. Can I use this for T-Mobile USA and does it fix the MMS problem ?
asking because the version says NL, isnt that the Netherlands country code ?
Thanks again
Well from first look everything seemed ok.
THese are a few of the things I have noticed since loading.
1. The ext rom version # doesn't show up in the info
2. If you use the IIWPO then it still shows in the remove list
3. The new apps from the 187 version will not install no matter what you do. (I have tried adding the ver # in the Reg, both 902, and 187 (not at same time)) Niether worked.
These are the few things that I have found since loading. If I find any more I will loet you know. Other than these I think you havea winner here!
I was wondering about the streaming MMS, the new bluetooth stack, and some of the other new versions of software that came in the 181,187 packages, and why you didn't include or update to them? Was there some incompatibality issue?
Thanks and great job!

Is SRS included?
SRS is not included due to the fact that I don't see any use for it personally. Since it is an ExtROM installer, you could add it yourself.
The NL is only there because some sdetting are more or less specific to the Netherlands. I had feedback on my earlier 1.72.901 package that it worked for other countries (incl USA) as well. Be prepared that the date format will be dutch by default (easy to change via settings though).
Also MMS is suposed to be working (but I have not tried it due to lack of interest in MMS)
The ExtRom# is not showing because some bug in the Version_172_902.cab. Working on that now.
IIWPO not showing in the remove programs list is a bit more difficult than it seems if you install for the first time. Normally you would boot up the device with new rom. IIWPO is NOT installed at this point. Once you have customised & installed IIWPO, you will have to do ANOTHER hard-reset (ie run the ExtRom contents again) to disable the uninstall. You could force this by hand first time to re-run Version_172_902.cab after installing the customised IIWPO. BUT as this cab is not OK, it wont work anyway. Working on that now.
I did not find the time to look into the new O2 apps. If someone finds a solutiuon here, I am more than happy to includew it in a new version.
For the streaming MMS, the new bluetooth stack, and some of the other new versions of software that came in the 181,187 the basic reason is lack of time. I dont know what 'extra' new there is on bluetooth in the O2 builds? OS Rom 1.72 allready has an updated BT stack that fixes most open issues. I have no experience (& interest) in MMS / streaming MMS . . .
I suppose the issue with TomTom locking up without GPS enabled is not solved with this rom ?
I know: wishful thinking..........
@Pleun: Nope. I WISH I would have solved that one!!! FYI: I tested he new TomTom GPS 3.07. It doesnt solve any locking issue and next to that makes my Headset react very slow. Also the 'Bluetooth GPS' option that is supposed to solve the locking has gone, at least with my installation. Not advisable. I reverted back to TomTom GPS 3.03.
@all: I solved the issue of not setting the Ext Rom version and making IIWPO non-uninstallable. New version V2 will be up in 10mins (incl. incremental fix for all that downloaded the version from yesterday).
New V2 is up now. See first post in thread.
Plz keep posting comments to make this upgade better

I feel like my MDA2 is a little bit slower to respond not sure why! I added PocketMVP, Belkin Bluetooth GPS, Resco Explorer 2003 V5.0 and .NET Compact Framework 1.0 SP2 for Pocket PC 2003.
I am having problem with Belkin BT GPS; I got it to bond, detect the COM port (COM5) and baud rate(4800) to use but my MDA2 hangs up and had to soft reset. Any idea why?
I will try to install one by one and see what's causing it and report here.
edsub thanx for me it works great its a great improvement!
machine seems faster and no more lock-ups.
Keep up the good work (ill be following you)
p.s only one thing my battery seems to give me no more than 4 hours of on-time
4 hours is very different from my (and others!) experience. The 1.72 rom should even improve battery life.
My battery lasts for about 1,5 days (not measured but recalled from my memory) with approx 1-1.5 hours on the phone and bluetooth permanently switched on . . .
were can I download this rom from?
from the first msg in this thread : RUU172902WWE_eDsuBsofT V2.exe
Hi me again, dont want to sound stupid but I've tried both Opera and Explorer and cannot find any executable file in the first post. Normally it appear in some sort of info box but none to be seen on this thread and the link to the previous one!?!?! Is this something to do with XP SP2?

This thread can be closed. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=68652#68652 for the new one
Edit: The new upgrade files are now available (see refered post)
An error need help please
I downloaded the files then followed the instruction below but now I get error
the flashing process
first the devicedata is obtained from the device, with HimaGetDeviceData.exe, this gets the operatorname, and language/country code from the extended rom, sector 2 of the BDK.
Then a tool 'HimaClearJumpCode' is executed, which erases the jump at the start of the kernel. causing the bootloader to start at next reboot.
the upgrade tool then connects to the bootloader of the xda, via serial over usb. ( port \\.\WCEUSBSH001 )
warning do not just run the 'HimaClearJumpCode' program, it will erase part of your OS rom, after which you will have to repair your device by running an entire upgrade again.

To everyone who tested this ROM:
When I say this is for evaluation only, it means you are to test this ROM. It is not a perfect ROM. We will never know the bugs unless it is subjected to different scenarios. You can not also expect to have every solution to every problem encountered in this ROM. You can, however, do your part and contribute by finding a solution yourselves. I cannot do this alone, and this is not the only thing I do. I posted this ROM to share with everyone else, and get to enjoy more features for our neglected device. If you are not contented, you can always go back to the previous ROM of your choice. We are not forcing you to use this ROM. Please don't make demands here...
Jiggs
Good work!!! Make this ROM for Atom exec support miniSDHC...
Is this the same as the one you PM'd me with? <.<
I'm still going to test the beta to see if the SDHC drivers work, tho.
What is the difference between various page pool sizes. How do I decide which one I need.

more or less... hope SDHC works! only some minor changes. I had to change pagepool to have different program memory requirements. been using 4mb since yesterday, graphics is lagging but processing power is still the same result as per benchmarking.

I can't tell you which is better. You have to try it. Different users have different requirements. It's a trade off between graphics speed and available program memory. processing speed is not affected by it based on my benchmarking tests.

I don't advise you to sacrifice too much pagepool for program memory, tho - WRT experience from the WM5 builds, a large pagepool actually speeds up your device. If you don't wish for the Atom 1st Gen ROM experience (and, given that the unit I own used to belong to my first adopter sister, I'm well familiar with that), take the 6MB PP at least.
By the way, folks, I have "moved" my "sig". For great justice. ^_^
By the way: You know those default program cabs Jiggs puts into the extROM? It's safe to delete them if you don't intend to install them (you must install the extROM unlock first, however). Just as long as you don't touch anything that doesn't look like an official program install or directory, you should be safe - and you get to use your extROM as an install location. Hard reset and soft reset still works correctly without them around, so if you plan to use your extROM and need the real estate, go right on ahead.
(I wonder what happens if I hard reset with a custom cab in there... tho I'm a little too lazy to reinstall everything right now.)
Any chance of an update for the o2 atom exec?

contrary to our experience in WM5, WM6 didn't suffer as much LAG as it did during the past. In fact, I'm still using the 4MB without any complaints. I don't know for others who play games on their ATOM....
How's SDHC my friend? working?

THANKS for the advice bro..maybe i will try to see the difference of both. One of my friend will install a different pagepool and we will compare.
adtl advice, just copy those cabs you will erase to your SD card then maybe oneday, someone or you may need it ;-)

I have commissioned chartreux to do it. After all, he has the device to test the build. I wouldn't want to risk another davidw89 if you know what I mean.
Extended Rom
Actually, you don't need to unhide the Hidden Partition. You just need Total Commander and key in \_QHiddenPartition\ and perform normal operation (copy, delete, etc.)

A kitchen of a cleaned Sprint's 3.35.651.2
running WM 6 CE OS 5.2.1629 (Build 18136.0.4.8)
(no radio included -- requires 3.35.04, 3.37.20, 3.39.10)
With the release of 1.3.0 I think that this project may be complete.
I can't think of how to safely free up any more memory and every module
that I had planned is packaged separately into the kitchen.
Small additions may come but I can't foresee any major revisions.
Using DogGuy's Kitchen Maker this was originall based off of a1jatt's preliminary cleaning of the official Sprint release, v1.3.x is a direct cleaning of the 3.25.651.2 OS ROM.
I have packaged the latest official Alltel, Sprint, and Telus carrier setups, with the rest from DCD.
The base (with Office) of this kitchen installs a ROM at 49 MB and when first after boot providing ~25.6 MB of RAM free at the default 6 MB pagepool:
OEMizer & PagePool Changer utils are included for you to customise your ROM further.
Carriers:
Alltel (settings from the April/08 release), Bell, Cricket, QWest, Sprint (settings from March/08 release), Telecom, Telus (settings from the July/2007), Verizon
Removed:
.NET CF 2.0, HTC Guardian, SQM, HTC Home, HTC Task Manager, Adobe Acrobat
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial, Esmertec Java, remaining items of Sprint Navigator, Lockstream DRM, Windows Live, Office
Kitchen:
Except for the rotten HTC Guardian, the kitchen includes all of the removed
apps and utils, plus some fundamental choices for tweaks,
dotFred's Task Manager & Registry Editor, Oxios Memory, SIPChange,
and No2Chem's nueLED 1.5 & nueAudio 1.0,
Remote Desktop, Today Screen Disable Options, UC Compatibility auto-run after first boot,
choice of the newer .NET CF 3.5 or .NET CF 2.0 as included with the Sprint ROM,
Office, OneNote, Windows Live, DCD's standard registry tweaks....some games..., HTC Zip, Touch Dialer,
Esmertec Jbed 20080222_3_1, Esmertec Jeodek 20080115_4_1 (read here for info on differences)
- you may add your own to the Kitchen's OEM directory.
This kitchen package is released to be a small and stable base for the OS.
Follow to this XDADeveloperWiki page for links to many OEM packages for you to
collect and apply the individual items that you wish to build into the ROM.

THANKS GOES TO:
DCD, a1jatt, No2Chem, and DogGuy for his excellent kitchen utility!!!​
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Easy installation:
HINT: Avoid hassles with your USB connection and PC by flashing via a non-SDHC microSD card
This ROM requires Olipro 2.40 bootloader
If flashing ROMs via the microSD method then update to 2.40 before continuing on.
radio 3.35.04, 3.37.20, or 3.39.10 is required
via the microSD card flashing method (below), upgrade your Titan directly to the radio without reflashing the OS or via the full Sprint 3.35.651.2 ROM (radio 3.35.04) or Alltel 3.35.671.9 ROM (radio 3.37.20) or Sprint pre-release 3.49.xx (an executable archives, right click to extract the RUU_signed.nbh ROM file)
Use the SD card method to only flash the CDMA radio to 3.37.20 or 3.39.10
Flash to one of the latest Sprint or Alltel ROMs but do NOT boot into the OS after flashing to this ROM.. Carrier specific customisations will run after screen calibration and alter your EPST settings.
Repeat the microSD flashing routine to flash to the kitchen built ROM.
I. OEMizer (optional)
Run OEMizer.exe from the kitchen's tool directory.
Complete your choices to customise your Titan's OS/Owner/Data/etc configurations
Hit the 'Create OEM' buttom for the customizations to be written into the kitche's OEM directory.
Build your ROM via the kitchen.
II. Kitchen
Run BuildNB.bat to execute BuildOS.
Hit the play button when you have selected your choices.
Exit BuildOS once it has completed.
Let the batch file complete its jobs.
quit the ROM Upgrade utility when it loads up and skip onto the following instructions on how to flash via the microSD card method.
OR follow through to finish the flash with the ROM Upgrade Utility via the USB.
III. PagePool Changer (optional)
Run PagePool Changer.exe
Select your ROM -- /RUU/RUU_signed.nbh
The default is 6 MB
The Titan has limited RAM so it isn't recommended to go beyond 8 MB
go smaller if you want more RAM free
Hit 'Close' when ready.
Flash your custom ROM.
IV. Flashing via a non-SDHC microSD card
With a card reader on your PC, format a non-SDHC microSD card into FAT32 (tested to work up to a 4kb cluster size)
From the kitchen's RUU directory, copy the ROM (RUU_signed.nbh) to the root of the microSD
Rename the ROM to TITAIMG.nbh
Insert your card.
Force into the boot loader with POWER-CAMERA-RESET
Follow the instructions and you'll quickly flash your Titan...
This will work to flash with an official ROM and radio, I think regardless of the boot loader you have installed. But ensure that you have the correct boot loader (olipro 2.40 for this ROM) installed for when you do eventually finish with your flashing and are ready to boot into the OS.
change log
Known issues: nada
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
v1.3.2 [23/04/08]
Updated Alltel carrier settings to the that of the April/08 Alltel 3.35.671.9 ROM
Alltel specific Arcsoft MMS settings -- waiting for those on alltel to test
Updated from the new Alltel ROM:
bluetooth drivers BTHCI.dll
CDMA_API.dll
InitProv.dll
v1.3.1
updated Sleuth255's UC to v2.0
Choice between the stock and Touch camera
Choice between the old (stock jeodek) and latest Esmertec Jbed 2008/02/22 Java (apparently you may install both -- read here for info on differences)
Changed mxip_notify.vol to remove any Customer Feedback reminders
Customer Feedback link in settings is removed by default without the need to select DCD's common registry tweaks
v1.3.0
Fully cleaned remaining SQM bloat...well, except for the customer feedback link in system settings.
Finally OEM'd the stock dialer so dialer skins are now supported by the kitchen - fttilt's Touch dialer is included
Sprint is now using nearly identical operators settings as the official ROM
The missing '1' in the stock dialer when using Sprint is resolved.
v1.2.5.1
Back to the stock AudioPara.csv only. The available modifed ones are incompatible with the profile of SPB PhoneSuite and tend to lock up the device. They're for WM 6.1 only? I may include a working option from one created with nueAudio within WM 6, but you can include nueAudio into the build and quickly personalise the handset and 'earcuple' settings within the OS.
v1.2.5
Customer feedback and SQM is removed.
Removed Office, OneNote, and Windows Live and added their options to the kitchen.
Added a choice of Scrufdog's louder AudioPara.csv (tested and works with SPB Phonesuite) or the stock file from Sprint.
Added the option of DCD's regular ROM tweaks.
Were previously bundled into the SYS directory by a1jatt.
v1.2.4
Removed Lockstream DRM as it was prompting issues with the PRL and slow boots.
Returned .NET CF 2.0 as per the Sprint ROM providing the choice between that OR the latest 3.5
v1.2.3
A choice of Comm Managers is now possible
Included the popular 10 button manager
Removed the modifed audiopara.csv and replaced it with the stock file.
It was interferring with SPB Phone Suite's profiles
v1.2.2
Changed the .NET CF 3.5 package to the one included in _Alex_'s v5.1 OEM pack.
Removed the Lockstream DRM files and added it as a kitchen option.
Kitchen additions:
FTouchFlo, FTouchFlo Config, Remote Desktop, and Today Screen stock item disable options.
v1.2.1
I was wrong, it was not .NET 3.5 that was causing the trouble but No2Chem's battery .dll was somehow preventing apps from seeing/accessing COM4.
the battery dll is back to stock.
.NET CF 3.5 is back in and 2.0 is once again removed.
v1.2.0
to resolve VisualGPSc not seeing the GPS's COM4, I removed .NET CF 3.5 and reverted back to Sprint's stock 2.0
removed No2Chem's nueAudio from the kitchen as it requires .NET CF 3.5
v1.1
Added carrier selections
Telus based services from last summer's WM6 offical release
Remainder carriers from DCD's releases
Removed Adobe Acrobat Reader
v1.0
My FIRST ROM/kitchen!
Thanks Key... downloading now. I've been looking to cook a custom TELUS ROM with WM6 and drivers that support the new radio.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
- Very Speedy ROM overall
- initial free RAM is ~24 as claimed
- I still think an 8MB pagepool is a must for the TITAN so it was nice to still be able to do a custom PP with this kitchen
- Sprint Customization forces carrier back to SPCS. Is there any fix?
- additional OEM dialer skins, smart dial, calc (vogue) would be nice to cook with as well
- Some things like "get good" still need to be removed
Looks like the kitchen still needs some work at the moment. Flashing back to DCD 3.0.1
Would you consider swapping out the extended rom driver with the one in no2chem's rom so that the extended rom can be unlocked. Also, does your rom work with wm5torage. If not, could you add an option to swap the memory card driver with a previous version that does work with wm5torage.
Thanks for the great work. I'm already downloading your rom!!!!
- Sprint Customization forces carrier back to SPCS. Is there any fix?
SO could I be using this as a functioning 3.35 Sprint kitchen? That's what I am really in search of... Thanks,
Josh

Should be resolved now. The ROM this was based upon wasn't fully set-up for Telus and still had some of the previous Sprint settings in the OEMOPERATORS folder. That's all history with the use of DCD's selectable carriers. As it appears DCD did with his Sprint and Verizon settings, hopefully all is fine with my reversion from DCD Telus settings to the official operator settings from last summer's Telus WM6 release.

I would be happy to make the changes. Would you mind telling me where you learned how to change the .net version from 2 to 3.5. I tried doing this using dog guy's kitchen and the original rom image and while i had limited success it was really only a cludge which is kind of buggy. long story short, i dont know how to modify the underbelly of the rom which wold be necessary to change the drivers. if you can give me a link or a brief explanation of the process then i will be happy to work out the details of this mod.
thanks

I deleted the net directory within the SYS directory. Then I added the PPCGeeks OEM of 3.5 to the OEM directory of the kitchen.
I have since removed it and gone back to 2.0, as 3.5 alone was giving a single odd error of VisualGPSc not being able to recognise COM4 for the internal GPS. I'm not sure if it was the GPS driver, VisualGPSc, etc., that was having the issue but since 2.0 fixed and I didn't know what other problems 3.5 may cause, I've gone back to the .NET settings that Sprint released.
Thanks for the offer for the carriers, but I was quicker than I expected! All done.
As for learning, I began last night at 10 on a whim of wanting a cleaned version of the Sprint WM6 release for myself. I had the weekend free so all last night I went for it.

This is the same thing I did but it causes errors with some .net applications. If you look at DCDs roms, the SYS/NET directory is replaced by a SYS/NET35 directory. (Note, you can't just replace the directory it doesn't work) In other words, he integrates net35 into the rom instead of using an oem. I believe that there is a place where the registry keys are hiding but I can't find them. The only glimpse I have had of these hidden registry keys is when you do a partial build of the rom and then extract the user.hv and default.hv files. Then you can see the registry keys. Unfortunately, modifying the registry keys at that stage of the build is not really practical because it would have to be done every time the rom is built. I was hoping you had done the integration similar DCD and that you might share you knowledge. I have searched and I can not find the information.
Thanks again for you work!
P.S. By the way, if I ever learn how to do this I am planning on modifying a WM5 kitchen with the latest drivers and gps so that I can reduce the memory footprint.
atomclock, I dunno but since I found that .net 3.5 wasn't at fault for the GPS and I haven't crashed other apps, I think that I will leave it in. If people notice problems then it will be a quick change for me to revert back to 2.0 in the kitchen.
We may get word from DCD and others as to what and how things are working for them.
thank you!
d/l now. i have to let the phone charge up a bit and then will try out your rom. What are the advantage of the 3.5 framework again?
I am currently running the factory rom cause dcd's version would not let me connect to the net after a period of time.

Did you try going over 8MB with the pagepool and see what effect it had on free RAM after bootup? I'm running a 24MB pagepool on a Touch and the larger size makes a world of difference.

I'll soon repost a link to download my v1.2 that uses CF 2.0 rather than 3.5.
Hmm, I keep crashing BuildOS.exe when running the batch. I have all the packages as DCD suggested, and can cook other ROMs just fine.
Any ideas what might cause this?
If there is an NBH file in the RUU folder (from previous cook), that will block the BuildOS. Delete it if it is there.

I'm sorry morgan, but few ideas.
Are you extracting the archive of the kitchen to a fresh folder?
Do you have appropriate security rights for the folders?
Are you running BuildNB.bat intact and unmoved from there?
When does it crash? Upon loading BuildOS or when BuildOS dumps the new OS to its created TEMP directory?
Well, I configured my OEMs, added a few of my own. It's fully extracted in it's own folder inside my 'phone' folder. I have all the rights. I did not change any of the files after unzipping.
It crashes right as I run the batch, when it goes to load buildOS...
http://www.morninglion.com/crash.jpg is a screen shot.
Just a guess, but do you have the latest MS Visual C++ Resdistributable installed?
Yup, and all the latest .nets... I do all my ROM building on this same PC, this is the only one to give me an issue... Maybe it's the mirror I used, let me try another.
After a recent scare when I dropped my phone I thought that was it - this time it really is
While flashing a different radio the flash started failing. Mtty revealed bad blocks and now I have a Nike sized brick on my hands that won't even power on, let alone boot.
It's been fun and I really appreciate everyone's help while rerom has been developing over the past couple of months.
I urge you to give NemanjaLO and d_train as much support as you can so that they can build the best ROMs possible for the Nike.
I've got to try to find my old Hermes now...
Au revoir,
Colin.
rerom build 23001
UPDATE:
I've upped a 16key 2G revision 2 which includes SmartLock in case anyone is interested.
I've replaced Backlight in Settings as it wasn't the WM6.5 version anyway.
Check the 23001 folder linked below.
P.S. just in case you hadn't noticed I reverted to netCF 3.5 with 21820 and 23001 as 3.7 doesn't include everything required.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build 23001 is faster than 21820 and this new rom includes a few tweaks and I finally added Long Press End Key (don't know why I left it out).
All flavours are now available in the 23001 folder at 4shared.
rerom build 23001 - all varieties
Enjoy
rerom build 21820
Build 21820 now available including a few changes and fixes:
- Acrobat Reader now works (thanks to NemanjaLo for the info)
- A Java environment is now in there (JBed)
- All the stock themes are back
- The latest exe for Notepad is included
All flavours (16 & 20 key, 2G and 3G dialers) can be found in the 21820 folder at my 4shared account here:
rerom build 21820 - all varieties
rerom build 21815 - test build
Here's a test build of 21815 - just for 16key with 2G dialer for now.
Because of the issue with themes I've stripped out all the other themes except Classic Blue until it's completely sorted.
I've also added Shamasis' Notepad Mobile to the Office folder in the Start Menu - much lighter when you just want to do a quick text file (although I need to update the version of the exe to the latest)
re-rom 21815, 16 key & 2G Dialer
rerom includes:
NetCF 3.5
Mortscript cooked in
Nitrogen Media Player
Clauncher Titanium plugin (With device Lock pre-populated for easy access)
A mortscript to choose the exe launched when swiping up from the bottom of the screen
I have removed the music tab from Titanium in this build as the functionality is quite limited and, with the other tabs added, I wanted to reduce a bit of clutter.
The script I have added is placed in the StartUp folder so that you can configure your choice of app after configuring the phone. Just select an application to launch by an upward swipe. It pulls the current path from the registry (just for info) and will be removed from StartUp after you make a selection. You can change this at any time by running \Windows\swipe.mscr.
Note: cancelling the file selection with leave the script in the Startup folder to run on the next reset.
Colin.
Great listing.
Thanks
I've got just about everything sorted but I've managed to introduce a problem with messaging loading after boot and then hanging.
Got to try to pin this down.
I'd like to say thanks to the following:

showaco (Titanium weather) & Mnemonique for QVGA version with M2D icons
and everyone else that contributes to the Niki forum
reserved for updates
Small issues:
- missing IE shortcut;
- missing MSN Money widget (I already get used with it from other WM6.5 ROMs );
- in PhonePad when scrolling down the call history after couple of contacts the rest of them are with black contrast;
- in Weather widget I cannot set an European city (Bucharest for my case) if I don't know the location code (only by name like it works for HTC weather applet), I assume the zip code works only for US.
Other than that your "baby" works great (however I used it only for 2 h so I keep testing it), thanks a lot!

- missing IE shortcut is intentional as you just hit the favourites item on Today
- PhonePad - thanks hadn't noticed that, I'll look into it
- as mentioned in the first post - MSN widgets are removed from this rom (I may include them when I do a new version with an updated build)
- for weather you need to visit the accuweather website and do an international lookup - Bucharest is EUR|RO|RO010|BUCHAREST. Add that as the location code
Thanks for testing.
You are right, I missed the Favorites shortcut (used for IE launching) from the home screen because I deleted it as I want to keep this sceen as empty as possible. I think the MSN widget is more powerfull (includes a sattelite map) than the one included in the Titanium interface. Meanwhile I figured how to get the city code (I remember I read something in another thread and I search for it). Thanks again for your work and I'm looking for your next release!
The MSN widgets were originally broken in build 21202 (this can be fixed with updates SYS files) so I will probably include them in an updated build.
As the Titanium Weather is installed during config it can be uninstalled or you will be able to have both (one for quick reference and the other for detail)
I think the phonepad issues is a problem with the skin. I will test with a different dialer package and let you know.
Is this ROM working in French, and for Niki 100?
This is just WWE I'm afraid.
It is an English ROM, so if you need one in French you should look for a specific designed in French one (look in the thread title, it is mentioned there). It is working on Nikki100, I have one running this ROM without any problem.
RE-ROM v1.1 posted - check OP.
Well done. Nicely.
Downloading to test.

It's a shame none of the HTC dialers work with WM6.5 but the stock one does the trick.
V2.0 with build 21501 now available. Check OP.
Hi, bad news (at least for me) with your latest ROM . First, after running the first time after flashing (when the Customizing process was ended) the phone shut down instead of restart. I flashed twice this ROM and the same behaviour. What was worst the phone somehow stopped responding after configured it (in the way I do this with all the ROMs). I reset it twice but no luck. The USB connection wasn't working at all, luckily after I put it manually in the three-color screen I was able to flash back the 1.15 ROM which works ok. I don't know what is wrong with this build, however it seems I am the only one with this problems. Thanks again for your work!
Strange.
I've flashed it a few times and not had any problems. I'll have a look and try a rebuild.
Thanks for letting me know.
Brief Introduction
Code:
As what I've promised before, it's right here. Please report for any existed
bugs.
For guys who think that the automatically running ActiveSync is a bug, you can
use the "patch" attached - but I myself don't think that it is.

Sorry, I can't. I've applied a lot of changes in settings and installed a couple of softwares into my device already...
But it is MWG-like. It can be regarded as an official update from MWG.
You're really the first one!
About the free RAM at startup... I can get over than 24,000 KB at the moment(I had installed a lot softwares). I didn't apply any changes to the cache of file system, which means the cache size is still 2 MB as default.
It's as much as you can get in the latest official WM6 ROM, right?

I hope Your new ROM can give more Free RAM. Your Build 21056 only give me about 13Mb Free RAM after install all application that I need. So hard download from Mediafire Lol..................
Have finished download, and now I'm using your ROM and add all Apllication ( and games too ) that I need. About 14,55 Mb Free of RAM and only have 651,71 Mb Free of Storage. Cool..............

Like Bajok! says :
HOW TO FLASH THE ROM:
1. You must have at least 70% battery.
2. Use mini-SD card and format it to FAT16 (use only 2GB capacity and below, don't use SDHC card!)
3. Copy AL1.DIO to card.
4. Insert card to memory slot of your device. Press and hold record button (beside the camera button) then push reset button with your stylus. Wait until BOOTLOADER mode appears saying "SD CARD DETECTED", release the record button.
5. Wait 'til it finishes until the O2 logo and splash screen appear. Follow the on screen steps. HAPPY FLASHING!!!
Thanks your ROM is very light, fast and battery usage is very good with this..
I surprised!! solved my problem for years on battery usage problems.
Just had to say thanks, sadly last week my old faithful HTC TYTN died, and i almost cried, and i had to get another PDA.
The one i got was an 02 Atom Life, however the stock rom wouldnt run some of the apps i use and depend apon, and couldnt do some basic stuff like send the USSD to get credit info (*100#), so i tried the official 6.1 update which still didnt run my app, or allow me access to my info, then i tried this Rom.
Everything goes again, (including USSD) ive tried your 6.5's but frankly I prefer this one alot much more, I just wanted you to know I appreciate your effort to the community.
The problem i have it they layout for the 6.5, do you have a 6.5 with the 6.1 Setup? If so i would gladly test it for you.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't understand your last question... I beg your pardon?
Sorry, ill phrase it better,
with your WM6.5 roms i noticed they didnt have the standard start menu, like the WM5.0 / WM6.1, it instead your WM 6.5 has the touchflo type menu.
Is it possible to make a 6.5 rom without the touchflo ?
or can the touchflo be turned off so the old start menu works?

Yes... There're two ways that you could be able to use WM6.1-styled Start Menu, but both are not perfect neither:
1. Use the QuickMenu instead.
2. Recook a WM6.5 with a hexed shell32.exe file(by Sun_Dream in DFT) and other WM6.1 DPI and Lang *.dll files. I have just cooked one and that was under tweaked, but unfortunately my device broke again in the day before yesterday... So I'm afraid that you may have to cook it yourself.
My device is fixed now. I've got the thing you meant done, but themes of WM6.5 or later are not applicable for this ROM. The WM6.5 lockscreen and Titanium are not present as well...
So does anyone want to try that?
hi aa125690, been almost a year but this rom is fine!
I have a problem here =
1. when i flash the rom back to MWG original rom (.exe) through dsuu I can't find "wireless tab" under setting-connection-wifi.
2. same thing happen using original O2 wm5 or wm6 rom. no wireless tab inside.
I thought this was DSUU problem so I did =
3. using modified flash.dio as al1.dio from both original O2 rom (miniSD mode) resulting the same.
4. using modified flash.dio as al1.dio from original mwg rom (miniSD mode) resulting the same.
many hard-resets but they solve nothing. strange thing is = all rom from this xda-developer site (from you, bajok!, chrisch, etc, which are all minisd mode) are free from this problem. do you have any idea?
I just wanted to feel the "old feeling" when the atomlife was still on wm5 just like old time.
