Hi Friends,
First of all, let me tell you that this is NOT MY ROM. I've found it on the 4PDA forum so i am sharing it with you guys.
IMPORTANT INFO : THIS ROM IS FOR NEW P3400 and P3400i with S/N HT8xxx. I DONT KNOW IT WORKS ON OLDER P3400 OR NOT. NOR I HAVE EXTENSIVELY TESTED IT ON MANY DEVICES. I AM RUNNING IT ON A P3400i with ONBL 1.17.000 and SPL 1.07.Oref.
The Good:
1. This is a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM with all default features of Windows Mobile 6.1 including the new welcome center etc along with a few HTC customizations.
2. You have about 43 MB of free User Memory after installing this ROM and about 19-20 MB of free RAM.
3. Device runs very fast when compared to the Stock WM 6 ROM.
4. Quiet fast boot up time.
5. The ROM doesn't have any customizations from the creator, ie. It has default boot screen, default About screen etc.
6. No EDGE related problems and No Control Panel icons missing. (This is a problem with lomlom's fusion 9.0 ROM)
The Bad :
1. I doesn't include HTC HOME, although this may not be quoted as a problem. HTC Home hogs quiet a lot of memory than the individual Messaging, Date, Calander and Task plugins.
2. Task manager incuded in the ROM is quiet old one.
3. As with most WM 6.1 ROMs, Windows Live is not working.
Download it from HERE if you have a 4PDA.com account (This is the original location of ROM where i found it: http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/132256/ruu_signed.rar
Else download it from here (I uploaded it on 4Shared for people who dont have a 4PDA account) : http://www.4shared.com/file/76614292/60fceda7/WM61_Stock.html
Sorry for not posting any screenshots but believe me, there is nothing special to post as screenshot. Its a very plain, WM 6.1 ROM.
In my opinion, if this ROM had got Windows Live Working, i can definetly quote it as the most wonderful and simplest Windows Mobile 6 ROM for P3400 and P3400i. But sadly enough, Windows live isn't working even after appying fixes and updates. So i guess i'll have to live with the browser version of hotmail.
For users who need MSN messenger functionality can try out Fring, search for it on google. Its a free, multi protocol messenger supporting Yahoo!, GTalk, MSN, AOL and others.
Also for task management features, I would recommend using HomeScreenPlusPlus plugin. Download it for free from this forum.
Enjoy!
UPDATE: I would also recommend reading Post #6 for knowing about my experiance about the ROM after customising it fully.
Thanks a lot for posting the same, here.
Just a couple of doubts, may be silly.
You have stated the following:
2. You have about 43 MB of free User Memory after installing this ROM and about 19-20 MB of free ROM
I guess, it is 19-20 MB free RAM, right?
Secondly, does this ROM contain Touch FLO, pre-installed?...
And finally, how is the file/directory browsing compared to lomlom's ROM?

Yeh, the word is RAM. I've corrected that in my post.
File browsing os working perfectly. i have installed quiet many apps and still the windows folder is opening within 3-5 seconds.
No it does not have TouchFlo installed, it even doesn't have HTC home. Thats why there is so much free space. Its a very plain WM 6.1 ROM with all the features of WM 6.1 but very few customizations.
In fact, to tell you the truth, i dont miss Touch FLO coz it was a memory hogger. And now since it doesn't have HTC home built-in, i have installed HTCHome_1025_721_ALL.cab which is the 6 tab version of the HTC home. The 6th tab contains the music controller which can be used to play music using audio manager right from the HTC home screen.
The only problem this ROM has got is Windows Live! Thats it! I have searched a lot for a fix but haven't found any working one yet.
@ANKIT360 : Buddy as far as i have found out, the problem with Windows Live is connected to two things :
1. The original Windows Live that came in this ROM has some registry keys missing. For example, under HKLM\Services\Windows Live\Platform, the Transport key is missing.
2. There must be some problem with certificates etc that are causing Windows Live to not being able to communicate using SSL(Secure Socket Layer). WIndows Live uses SSL for communication purposes.
Maybe this information help somebody in finding a fix.
Thanks For sharing Man I am Going to try it tonight
Thanks a lot & keep Going
@swapnil_0081: My Pleasure man.
My Experiance with the ROM till now
UPDATE: Did about 25 different experiments with around 11 cabs, changing connections settings and installing different certificates. No avail, Windows Live and Messenger stuck at startup. Now i am not doing any more tries, even deleted the shortcuts to Live and Messenger from Start Menu.
Software i installed:
1. 6 Tab HTC Home plugin and HomeScreen Plus Plus for Today Plugins. HomeScreen Plus Plus also doubles as an always available task switcher and task manager. I needed this functionality very much as the HTC Taskmanager 2.0 is not included and task management is not possible from home screen without the HomeScreenPlusPlus plugin.
2. Mundu IM for muti protocol messaging, its paid but its great. It can connect to all the chat services and can do things that Fring cannot do, for example, adding new messenger friends.
3. WM5Storage for Mass Storage Mode
4. Resco File Explorer and GFinder+ for managing files.
5. TCPMP, YouTube, Nitrogen (Great Audio Player!), Flash Player 7, Flash Lite 2.1 and Real Player for Multimedia.
6. Opera 8.60 and Opera Mini 4.2 (Mini has great browsing speed with full website browsing, normal Opera is great for other stuff)
7. Yahoo Go! and Google Maps for maps and positioning.
7. iContact BERT Edition for finger scrolling Contacts, PCMImageViewer for Touch friendly Image Viewer and PCM Keyboard .14 for touch friendly keyboard.
8. Advance Config, FDCSoft TaskMgr 3.1, ClearTemp, PIMBackup, psShutXP, SoftKey (for changing functions of both softkeys on Today screen) and SKTools for system tweaking.
9. FDCSoft StartMenu for desktop Windows like cascading menu. Requires very less resources and normal start menu remains accessible as well. PointUI Home as an alternate shell.
10. Misc Software including FlashSMS (for sending SMS which show up directly on screen instead of going into inbox), CHMReader (for reading e-books in CHM format), Picsel Browser (A great E-book and document Reader), PocketRAR 3.8, SQL Server CE 3.5 with Query Analyzer (Databases can be created directly on device), VSPainter Lite (MS Painbrush like APP), Wordnet CE (Pocket Dictionary with a huge word database of 66 MB), Gerald Caller Location (It shows the network name and area name of person that is calling or being called, for India only) and OBEXinfo (changes the location to recieve files via bluetooth to SD Card.

With such a comprehensive list of software installed, i have about 28 MB User space free, and 16-18 MB of RAM free after 10 minutes of system startup with HTC Home, Homescreen plus plus, Tasks and Appointment plugins running. And with default caching, FileSystem performance is good, Windows folder opening within 5-7 seconds of taping
Isn't is amazing guys! This ROM is quiet good, much better than others.
So far only 3 problem i have identified :
1. Windows Live (The hotmail part, messenger part is solved with Mundu IM) not working.
2. In the Encryption option in System Tab of Settings, the checkbox remains always checked although files are not being encypted (In other words, using encryption is not possible, but people dont use it anyways, mostly).
3. An Old version of task manager with no Today screen task management support is given. This could be solved by using th task manager or HomeScreen plus plus which is better due to the fact that it can be accessed anytime to switch between applications

In short, i will recommend this ROM to everyone who wants to use WM 6.1 with faster device response. A little bit of tweaking, some software and a 2-4 GB of good quality memory card will make your gene as closely feature rich as other costly phones.
PHEW! Long Post! Sorry guys if you get bored from this post. But i wanted to share my experiance in detail with everyone.

First of all, thanks a lot for taking time for hosting as well as testing and giving such a long feedback. Really appreciate... You have been simply superb in this forum.
But, I am still a bit reluctant to flash this ROM over Fusion, just because of that RAM avaialbility. In Fusion, I have around 23 to 24 MB RAM free, even after running TouchFlo, Wisbar advance etc., as well as after installing a huge amount of softwares (some of them in storage itself), I still have around 16 MB free in ROM. So, I am just perplexed, as why should I flash this one.
The only advantage, I can make out in this rom, is fast "windows" directory browsing as well as booting. But, I feel these are the items which we don't do each now and then. Even, I am pretty satisfied about the responsiveness of Fusion rom, such as switching applications etc. Moreover, responsiveness of TouchFlo has been simply great, and never felt it as a memory hogger, as its RAM consumption has been consistent and may be because of the 28 MB free RAM, provided by Fusion on start-up.
I have also attached a screenshort here, in which you can see that around 20.21 MB RAM is free, even when the ROM is running Touch Flo, Wisbar Advance, Hi-Calc, Resco Explorer, Excel (with a document loaded) and SPB screenshort applications. There may be even other applications such as SPB Keyboard in the background. Isn't it cool? Moreover, swiching applications have been instantaneous too. When I click on the icon of a running application on the Wisbar, the app is displayed immediately, within a second.
Again, I am not at all trying to downplay the efforts put by you to upload this ROM on a mirror and give us not only the access but also the feedbacks and support. Just wanted to put the points here. May be, you will come up with valid arguments and make me flash this one. Just because you must be knowing much more about these stuffs than me, who is almost a newb.
Best Regards...
Hi Dheeraj!
Buddy, if the lomlom's ROM is working for that much great for you, you have no reason to flash this. In my case, it was not. I got only 16-19 MB free without running any app whatsoever, in the case of lomlom's. Plus there were icons missing in Settings tab, and small inconsistensies here and there. Moreover since i tinker around with my phone a lot currently, accessing the \Windows folder is a routine task for me, and with lomlom's ROM i was having a lot of problem with that. Talking about Manilla 2D, ya it looks fancy but after a week of use, i found that its not that usable with me, personally. For me the charm of it was over.
And apart from all this, I always wanted a ROM that works like stock WM 6 ROM of HTC, in short, gives the "Original" look to my phone but still provides me with all the features of WM 6.1. I dont know why but i dont like it when the original OS is crippled in anyway. In this ROM, nothing is missing from the original WM 6.1 installation as described on the feature comparison page for Windows Mobile on Microsoft website.
So in short, its a matter of personal tastes. Our needs are a bit different and so are our ROMS I guess if you dont feel any problem with lomlom's then stick with it. Its a great ROM too and i and other members have solved almost all problems that happen with it after first time boot, so someone should use the result of those efforts too
When i came to this forum, i found that GENE users and specially those with NEW GENE were just crying around with SPL problems and nothing was there as a choice for them in terms of ROM availability. Thats why i decided to do whatever efforts i can to make things better for this part of the forum, ie. The GENE section. Now, i am not a social worker, but i feel for people whom problems i can sense becuase i also have them
Thanks for your complements
HTC Applications in this rom like home plugin,comm manager ,task manager , audio manager,album are very old versions
Can any one help me to update that one
or cook this rom with newer versions ????????
Home plugin? its not even there buddy! ya the ROM is a bit old, but works nicely.
Help !!!!!
hi guys ...i have a new gene (s/n ht8xxx) can any one tell me the steps to update my old wm5 to the new one step by step ...... please .....
Buddy, the way is completly described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2953612&postcount=2
Not to offend you or anything, please try to search before posting. Many of the custom ROM flashing problems with P3400 and P3400i have been already solved. Just a suggestion, Ok buddy.
And ya, although that tutorial references the lomlom's fusion ROM, you can use the ROM described in this thread too if you want to. The procedure is same, only use this ROM in place of fusion one.
thaaanx
thanx alot man ...u help me alot ....
Dear Krazy, Thanks for the Great ROM

Hey everyone,
I've been using a WM device for 2 years, a good and old KJAM and now the X7500. As you may have seen in my previous post, I'm going to use the X7500 as a UMPC together with my KJAM. I don't plan to ditch the KJAM, as I'm going to keep using it as my PDA and phone. The main purposes of the X7500 would be browsing (WIFI or HSDPA), watching movies, gaming and maybe some document editing.
I have to say, that I got lost trying searching and reading posts around here, and there seem to be a lot of confusion about many things, so I'm gonna ask some questions that I couldn't find one straight updated answer for. I know that these questions have been asked a lot of times, but as I said, there wasn't any clear answer for them (hopefully there is now).
1. I need a good, fast and reliable WM6/WM6.1 ROM. I don't need many features, just simple and as fast as possible. What do u recommend? By the way, if I flash another ROM will it change my device ID? I have bought a program that is registered to that specific device, and by changing the ID that program won't work.
2. BT mouse. how good does it work with the Athena? Will it slow down the system? Will it work with any program (esp. browsers)? How about connecting a USB mouse through the 4-in-1 cable, would it work?
3. Browser. We have a great device, amazing screen but I feel that no browser is good enough for it. I don't want anything fancy, but I want it to be fast and support tabbed browsing. Opera mini is fast enough, but it lacks an option to browse with XX% zoom out permanently like Opera, Netfront or even IE. All of the above are pretty good by the way, but they are simply too slow. Actually, I don't get that. Why are they so slow browsing with WIFI or 3.5G? Opera mini does the job faster, my desktop with the same connection does it faster, what's causing their lag? I found out that browsing through my desktop with LOGMEIN from the X7500 is even faster (but annoying).
Any browser that will hit the spot? Any way to speed things up?
4. Task manager. I want a program that will give me the multi-tasking capability of a desktop PC without slowing down the device. basically I need instant access to all the open programs in the same way the taskbar works on Windows. If the program will give me the option to choose whether to minimize or close a window, it would be better.
5. Printer. Can I plug a USB printer, or can I use only network/BT printers with the device?
6. Any other tips of-course would me most welcomed.
I hope you had the patience to read all of those questions, and maybe even more patience to answer them. Thanks a lot to everyone around here....
best rom? athena project 3. cannot be beaten. ther's a rule on here where theres no posting of roms allowed except project kitchen. This rom is made by people working all day on it, and a new version is released like every 3 months. because thats how long it takes to make it perfect. Im fairly sure the new one is being released this week. but dont quote me on that.
You named all the browsers anyone would suggest, so I cant really recommend anything.
For taskbar id say use wisbar if you need loads of features and skinnable taskbar along with cascading start menu like real windows, or wktask for just sortof tabbed taskbar. wktask is embedded into the rom I mentioned.
hope this helps

First of all, thanks a lot for your comment. I don't really understand what you mean by no ROM postings allowed around here. If I want a lighter ROM than Athena Project, and afraid to cook myself one, I'm out of luck? nobody can even publish their cooked versions of the AP ROMs?
There is no rule like that at all.
If you decide to cook a ROM, feel free to post it. The Athena Project do some great work, but they don't own these public forums.
i dont want to argue about it , but if that's the case, then why is there only one cooked rom avalable? plus check the sticky called proj ct kitchen to see where i got the impression that you cant.

1) I will suggest PK3.0 as the fastest IMHO, we are waiting the new WM6.1 (4.0 release) The .NET re-designed will improve the speed as is happening in many other ROMs. We are waiting also the results of the Athena Team tuning: wait the WM6.1 may be in the next week.
I have increased the speed using MEMMAID, (www.dinarsoft.com) as mantainance and optimizzation tool. The rom's speed depends only from chef choices for the first start but later is related to many other things. Manteinance is the best way to keep it fast
1b) Device ID changed? may be not, we will see...
2) I use a wired optical mouse and it works just as is supposed to do
3) opera 9.5 is fast, the beta is out and it is finger friendly and fast . Netfront 3.5 is fast too, I chose Opera
4) wktask is part of PK rom, you can download it here http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html and it does exactly what you need
5) Yes, BT or network, having jetcet print
ROM cooking is free and WELCOMED here!

There are a couple of others floating around if you search hard enough.
But the Athena Project roms are so good, everyone seems to use them.
fair enough mate. I have been reading the athena forums for abut 3 months, and never seen any other rom... theres so few posts daily, im sure I would have noticed

This is the 6.1 porting from Kaiser I think.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363542
I think a lot of the browser slowness is down to windows mobile itself. Not sure why. Even the Opera Mini Java midlet is faster on the Symbian OS than on Windows Mobile. Netfront and Opera 9.5 are big improvements on what was available last year though, and Opera will no doubt have a few tweaks before its official release. No Flash or Java add-ons though still
Apparently someone has already managed to play youtube with Opera. Not sure if it is true as he has not responded to request for the cab file yet.

It's very jerky though. Still better off with the flash plugin. There's an application called EMTube on Symbian devices, would be nice to see it on winmo as it allows access to all the youtube Videos at high quality without loading up the browser at all. There's the Vtap application but that always seemed a bit stodgy to me.
On the subject of Fl3.0 you may have a long wait yet - it's still only been integrated into the N95 8gb, don't know what Adobe are playing at with the rollout for this - it was released as a developers' testing package over five months ago, at this rate someone's going to develop a workaround that screws them over: I HOPE AND PRAY!
That's why there was no excitement in my post.It's not really watchable.
I would still prefer to use PIE with TCPMP to download it first then watch it.
Hello,
I have been using the HTC WM6 ROM HERE and its been great. I wanted a basic ROM with no whistles and bows to get used to the device. Mine had the T-Mobile ROM on, nothing wrong with it but the phone dialer and theme are awful in my view. I tried both opera and net 3.5 and both show great promise, but they aren't ready yet. I ended up just getting one of the IE addon's that hanango do, fine for now. interesting to hear about the things you can use through the USB port. Ive been using the universal and stuff like that doesn't work on it. I think I need to go back and read up more!

This ROM is deprecated, as the purpose of the ROM was to help test a kitchen. As the kitchen has been released, this ROM will no longer be supported. Please use the kitchen to build a ROM, and report issues there.
Over the past several weeks, in my copious spare time (<-- sarcasm, if you missed it ), I've been working on a more or less vanilla ROM (in this case, vanilla referring to one that is very similar to shipping ROMs). My goal in this case has been slightly different from some of the other ROMs which have popped up here, though: my ultimate goal is to release a suitable ROM kitchen so that users in the Athena forum here can develop ROMs that create their own custom ROMs, rather than having to rely on other people to tweak their ROMs for them.
As a result, this ROM isn't a very interesting ROM in a lot of ways. It's meant to be a test for a solid basic ROM. If this test goes without much in the way of problems (which is what I hope for), in roughly a week, I should be able to release the kitchen for this ROM. At that point, I'd like to see users contribute OEM packages and/or tweaks to make things better. I'd prefer to avoid putting them in the base ROM because not everybody is willing to make the same tradeoffs (like the GlyphCache registry hack which trades memory for display speed). I'll be using this ROM for the next week or so as well, to help flush out any issues. I've been running it for a couple of days, and it seems fine so far.

Miscellaneous other updates which aren't really worth listing for this test ROM, although they'll all be listed with a kitchen release
Known issues/concerns:
The XIP is the XIP from AP 5.0 beta (build 19588.1.1.4, which was from the Sony X1 Xperia ROM). I've tried to generate a matching XIP for the ROM, but it won't boot. Anybody around here know how to create a good XIP?
There seem to be some issues with the Bluetooth OBEX service not being able to start. That's true of this ROM as well. It's able to send files to a PC without a problem, but it can't receive files (although it can copy them).
Even though screen rotation works both in the operating system and in HTC Album, HTC Album's screen rotation has the chance to screw up the operating system's screen rotation. A workaround is to use an application that can restart services (such as the FdcSoft Task Manager) to restart HTC Sensor Service (Athena).
Although the phone skin does work on 128 and 96 dpi, the speed dial application can act flaky and start drawing itself off-screen, which can trigger an error. One workaround is to dial a single number, then rotate the screen, which forces a redraw, after which it functions properly.
The VGA HTC Home plugin could be in slightly better shape. The TabSetting registry entry doesn't seem to work (or at least nobody's responded to me here yet), and the Profile tab shows a keyboard vibration option that, naturally, doesn't work.
The enlarged start menu has some icon overlap on 128 dpi.
The nifty System Status popup on 96 dpi seems to trigger just to the left of the connectivity indicator, while not triggering on the connectivity or signal strength indicators. It does work, just a little strangely on the other dpi settings.
Sym-A now generates the _ character instead of the $ character. (Added July 11, 2008)
Reported issues/concerns:
Some users are reporting an initialization infinite loop. The new ROM (updated July 11, 2008) might fix this; please report if it's still broken for you. (Added July 11, 2008)
During phone calls, the number keypad is active instead of the alphabetic keyboard. (Added July 11, 2008)
Miscellaneous notes:
Most users would probably call this ROM both bloated and underfeatured. Seemingly contradictory, yet true. It probably includes things that you don't care about (a lot of users couldn't care less about BubbleBreaker and Solitaire, for example), yet doesn't include things you do (like maybe a better task manager). That's not the point of this ROM. The whole point of the kitchen is so that you can take things out that you care nothing about, and put in what you do care about. I'll be doing the same myself.
This ROM has all .rgu files deleted, and only a single .dsm file. Although that's frequently done for "security" reasons (to prevent ROMs from being disassembled), in this case, it's more for performance reasons. Menneisys has done some testing which shows that more files in \Windows slows down system performance. Besides of which, if everything goes as planned, users will have access to this kitchen straight from me anyways.
Updates (July 11, 2008):
The new test ROM is now bundled with primary and secondary splash screens, as well as a blank extended ROM. This will hopefully address the initialization infinite loop; please report if it's still broken for you.
pimstore.dll has been replaced with a Windows Mobile 6.1 96 dpi version, doing the equivalent of what the SJ Contact Summary fix .cab did (I don't know where that pimstore.dll came from, whereas I know where the module I used came from). This fixes contact summaries in 96 and 128 dpi resolutions.
Permissions have been tweaked for *.htm files in the ROM generation .bat file. This fixes issues with reading/writing SMS.
VCommManager updated to version 0.3. The skin has been replaced with a significantly smaller .png.
Links (Updated July 11, 2008):
Currently for SPL 3.5 only (I haven't tested SPL 1.2, and for the final ROM, swapping out the OS.nb for an SPL 1.2 version and updating the ROM folder for the XIP should be sufficient):
Megaupload
RapidShare
CheckAutoRun test ROM (Megaupload)
Feel free to ask questions! I'll answer what I can.
sounds great, why .net 2.0 and not 3.5?
which SPL is the image for?
Very good iniciative.
I've been testing some of the ROMs posted in this forum in order to use one of them as base for my own personalized ROM.

I think that in order to release a kitchen I think that is better to keep all the .dsm and .rgu files, so the people can choose what packages to keep or remove. Is there any tool that merge all the rgu/dsm in one before cooking? This would be the best option.
sounds really good,
a software-combination from the new devices combined in Athena (Ameo).
If the operating system is english or not is not the biggest iisue for me; but I couldn't use a german keyboard with an english keyboard driver...
Is there planned in any way to chance leastwise the keyboard in another language.
AND - if I find that the new version is not so good for me, could I go back to the original Version (t-mobile german WM6) ?
btw: do you support with this rom ms voice command too ?
Great
Seems intereting and promising...just want to know, if you would be able to avail this rom for both spl's 1.2 & 3.5.
Cheers
sogarth, dude you did a GREAT JOB with this rom it is awsome I fu*king love it. its not the fastest rom but its stable and most important i got the data connection working under spl 1.2 ..... just an awsome job i am going to do a little more testing and with sogarth's permission i will release it for spl 1.2 the only thing i will add is uc compliant and the rest will be untouched.

Answering myself: Yes, there are tools to merge all the packages in a ROM (I suppose that is was a stupid question, sorry, but I'm learning to cook ROMs).
For example, buildos+packagetools4.2b3 from ervius can do it automatically.
I have been using this tool to learn how to cook ROMs. Attached to this post
is .bat files that allow you to use buildos+packagetools4.2b3 to extract/build ROMS from/for the Athena.
Only for SPL 1.2???

One question about SPL versions: As far as I understand (as I said before I,m quite new on cooking), the diference between a ROM for SPL 1.2 or SPL 3.5 is in the XIP used. The ROMs for SPL 3.5 are based on AP4/AP5 (or takes the XIP from them), while ROMs for SPL 1.2 are based on old WM6 oficial ROMs. Is that right? Is there no problem for using a XIP form WM6 and a SYS from WM6.1?
thanks in advance

What was stated above that the XIP is the XIP from AP 5.0 beta, does this mean that this rom is for spl 3.5? Can some one help me answering this question.
unable to send a text or email message
Hello
Just trying the new rom and found that i am unable to send an email or text message. If I press "menu" and then "new" nothing happens.
Also the contacts details page is coming up blank. I can confirm that this can be fixed by implementing the SJ Fix_Summary_Contact.cab file found in various places.

Alex,
What spl is this rom for?
Cheers
I would be interested in a version that can be used with SPL 3.50, and the ability to start with a base (yet complete) WM6.1 is what I have been really looking for (while the Manilla stuff looks really cool it was not intended for the Athena hence the stability issues, I could live without it). This project looks very interesting.

.NET 2.0 and not .NET 3.5 because .NET 2.0 is what ships as part of the Windows Mobile 6.1 SYS. It's not that hard to roll a .NET 3.5 OEM package; I'm sure you'd be able to find one without too much difficulty.

There is a tool that merges all the .dsm files into one and deletes the .rgu files post-registry generation while generating the ROM (Bepe made one). That's what I'm using. In the kitchen itself, there are all of the different SYS and OEM folders you'd expect. But it looks like you found that on your own too.

The operating system is WWE at the moment. If you have access to all of the German folders (I know WWE is 0409; I don't know what German is), it would be pretty easy to go through and replace the folders. Replacing the keyboard itself might be possible; I don't know for sure. If nothing else, the advantage of a kitchen is that you'd be able to try it yourself.
This is an SPL 3.5 ROM at the moment, so the only way you'd be able to go back to the T-Mobile German WM6 ROM would be by downgrading back to SPL 1.2 first. It's possible, although I understand a bit involved.
Any ROM should be able to run MS Voice Command. I actually have an OEM package sitting around so that MS Voice Command can be built into a ROM; if I were to release that OEM package, though, it would have certain files missing that users would need to re-add themselves, as it's a commercial product.

Well, I wasn't aiming for fastest, as I said. That gets to be the experimentation later.
Feel free to release an SPL 1.2 version if you want, although if everything works out, I'll be releasing a kitchen that would be able to generate either, depending on the OS.nb it's built with.

As far as I know, that's correct. Ideally, you'd have have an XIP that matches your SYS (down to the build level), but there isn't a huge difference between WM6 and WM6.1, so that would be fine. Even better would be if you could port an XIP, but I've been having a few problems with that.

Hmm... for the first, that's odd. I'll have to look into that, since I'm not sure what could be causing that.
For the second, I thought I'd gotten that working, but I guess I hadn't. *sigh* I'll take care of that, although I'd like to know why that's happening, too, since I'm using WM 6.1 96- and 128-dpi resource files. Unless it's something other than that?

Hmm... I'd suggest deleting MicroDrive and doing a soft reset, which should fix it. I would have freaked if that happened to me every time with this ROM.
I'll admit that as part of setup, the ROM does copy stuff to your microdrive (demo files for HTC Album, which the HTC Diamond ROM seems to like to do). It's pretty easy to disable, but I figured I would leave it in for the base ROM (since to be honest, I personally hate it when kitchen developers "tweak" packages, since I want to know that what I'm working with is relatively untouched).
i can confirm that i can recieve text messages but i can't view them except for when it first pops up in the bubble. there is a dll file missing i think
Hi guys, I have been going thru tis forum for quite sumtime now and i must tell u that it is the most comprehensive forum dedicated to xda range of fonez.
I'l be picking up a HTC P3400i tomorrow. I remember seeing a thread on installing a software similar to the htc touch flow onto a P3400i.
But sumhow, i cant find it no more. I would be amazing greatful to whoever can get me the link to that thread.
I kno im in for alot of flak for posting tis thread, but i really did search the whole forum but codnt find anytin.
Again, im sorry for wasting a thread.
Apologize!
Hi did you get it ? even i am looking for the same . Can you please mail me the link if you get it . My id is [email protected]
Thanks
There are 3 ways to get TouchFlo on P3400i:
1. Upgrading to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM with TouchFlo Embedded : TouchFlo performs best when it is embedded in a ROM. Study about rom flashing a bit and the pros and cons associated with a particular ROM and then upgrade to a windows mobile 6.1 ROM with touchflo embedded. That will give improved performance along with the goodies.
Be warned that its a dangerous process so take utmost care. Plus before flashing a ROM make sure its for your phone or not, plus if there are any limitations with it, if any. For P3400i, only one ROM is available as of now and that is Lomlom's fusion 9.0 ROM for new gene. The thread for that is in this part of the forum itself.
2. Installing the original TouchFlo (Manilla 2D): Original Touchflo that comes with HTC Viva, Touch Diamond etc is known by the name Manilla 2D, so search for this name. You can find it on this forum, but beware, in case of a P3400i, it makes the phone very, very , very slow and you will have only 9 MB of phone memory remaining after installing it. Plus, you cannot uninstall it fully without doing a Hard Reset. Simply saying, its not usable.
3. ThrottleLauncher : is a great app that works and looks almost same like the original Manilla 2D but its not that fast too. the good thing with it is that it wont make your phone very slow, although it will be slower than default. This is the safest way to try TouchFlo technology ion your phone. Otherwise, upgrading the ROM is the best possible way, albeit a dangerous one.
Thanks for the quick response I appreciate it very much
I am new to PDA phones and p3400i is my first one and so I don't have much idea about the technical aspects like ROM. So, I would like to try out the safer throttleLauncher i have gone through their website and i have few basic doubts can you please clarify
1) what is soft reset ?
2) To do soft reset do i have to install a new software ? where can i get it and how to install it?
Pardon my ignorance
Thanks a lot

1.Soft reset mean press a very little button that beside the USB port of your gene...it's a reset buton like your PC.
2.up 2 you... you can soft reset by many way install program that make your gene has a soft reset button on the gene screen.
Yes, as PlaiNutto stated, soft reset means to restart your device using the reset button provided at the bottom of the phone, beside the miniusb port that we use to connect data cable and headfone. Its a small hole near it and the button is inside so that it is not pressed accidently. You can press it by using your stylus.
Soft Reset is same is restarting your phone after shutting it down by power key, but it doesnt gives the applications running inside your phone a chance to respond or shut down. Power key provides a little time for apps to shutdown. So Soft Reset button is used when because of a faulty app, the whole OS is stuck and power button is not working.
Soft Reset does not removes any data at all from your device.
In addtion to that, there are many apps available that provide you to soft reset your phone just by running them. But they are only useful if your phone is not hung.
I hope this will clear out all your doubts.
One thing about throttle launcher, install the app only in phone memory, even if it prompts you to select a location at the time of setup. And after installation, goto Start Menu> Settingd> Today and here on the items tab, select only ThrottleLauncher as today item and unselect all other.
Rest you can customize using the configuration utility provided. Please read the documentation about this application from its website to get full benefit from it.
In case of any furthur queries, you are most welcome.
Thanks a lot for the explanation.
I understand it perfectly now
I have another doubt
The second step in the installation procedure is
" Unselect the today plugin if you have it activated "
(http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/downloads/34-public-releases/84-094k)
How do i do it ?
In Menu > Setting > Today there is no option to unselect any plugin. There are options only to select a theme and picture and there is a tab for selecting items. So how do i unselect the plugin ?
And also before installing any applications the programme memory is 55 % full so if i install throttle launcher will it slow down my mob drastically ? Is there a way to free the programme memory?
Thanks a lot.
The Items tab that you are talking about is the one used to unselect today plugins. Actually, Today is the screen that you see after exiting all the apps on your phone, the Desktop. On this today screen, there can be various items running like the HTC home plugin, Tasks plugin etc. These items are called Today plugins and can be selected or deselected from that tab. Since throttle launcher uses the entire today screen for itself so there is no space for other plugins. Thats why it is adviced to unselect all the items on the Items tab except for Throttle Launcher.
Filling up of phone memory does not slows down your phone abnormally, but ya, this memory is needed for contacts, sms, mms, email etc so exhausting it completly will cause problems. Also note that since throttle launcher is a processor intensive app, it will make your phone a bit slower.
I would recommend that you stay away from throttle launcher or Manilla like apps. They are not worth so much of the effort. And since you are very new to Windows Mobile, you wont be able to configure throttle launcher easily to get full benefit of it. The best option for you is Manilla 2D cooked into the ROM of your mobile, but since you are a newbie, i wont recommend that too. I think you should enjoy your mobile with its original capabilities and later when you become more confident with the internals of the WIndows Mobile OS, you can flash your phone with a good ROM. I too used a Manilla 2D cooked ROm on my gene for sometime, but none of these custom ROM provide as good functionality as the original one, there are errors here and there on all of them.
Rest is upto you, you decide yourself. Enjoy Windows Mobile buddy and keep exploring it, there's an ocean of possibilities inside this OS
krazy...THANKS FOR THE INFO..
Well I finally have my new device and it looks like i might have a little time this weekend to make an update and fix some minor bugs in my rom. please post suggestions here. All suggestions need to be in my friday midnight EST. thanks
How about making these changes to your last ROM?
- 16mb page pool to see if it goes a little faster.
- Do not auto download the quick gps data during the setting phase, since the device does not have time and data connection yet at that phase.
- update the large menu text cab so that it works. I had to look for the cab elsewhere last time.'
- Focus on speed.
- Keep it ultra vanilla. This is your number one selling point for me. I don't want all third party application to be chosen by myself and not seeing duplicated application/old versions/unused application.
- Make sure it is spl1.2. Do not want to lose memory for useless applications.
- If you intent to use newer built (Are you thinking of Touch Pro?), make sure it still supports Gsen application, and has random access for contact application. I personally love these two features.
- Make sure it has no htc touchflo or Ftouchflo. Have Ftouchflosl trial version if you wish. Else leave it for user to decide.
- Again, leaveb out realVGA. Some of us don't use it anymore.
- Continue to leave out HTC Home, and have just one theme. HTC Home They are all add ons.
- An important bug to fix is its inabikity to delete POP3 mails. Currently I can only delete non-POP3 mail, but for my pop3 mail, I'm forced to sign into the web-mail to delete them to prevent mail-box overflow. This is a pain.
Frankly, I'm still so happy with your last ROM, although I feel the speed could be further improved. So if there is only one change, let there be just speed improvement.
Thanks irus. I look forward to your fantastic ROM.
I'm now using Michy's rom whose main merits are speed and stability, but I like your Gsen function very much. I hope you can integrate the above-mentioned features in your new rom.
I would suggest no changing from your latest rom which I think is perfect, only bugfixes.
Changing could be for a newer release while I think your last one deserves just a trimming to be a reference rom. (I can't download full messages from the mail program???)
I would say fix the known bugs, increase speed if possible. After releasing that version, you can spend sometime looking at other possibilities (lite version, other builds or base, new features, etc...).
The lite / vanilla builds never actually worked in the long run for me because it always seemed something was missing which caused other applications not to work properly. They always seemed fast and potentially stable for a few weeks. After installing my apps and heavy usage, it always seemed to have gone down hill. Nonetheless, a lot PPL here love them.
It is also very important that auto rotate, gsen, and other features continue to work because I believe a lot of PPL stuck with this base because that stuff work well with on this ROM.
I never tried your rom mainly because I had the impression it was missing MMS. I know it is fairly easy to install myself, but I hadn't time to look for a proper version.
If your rom contains MMS, then forget about this post
Yes! also mms. I would consider the missing of it nearly a bug to be fixed as it is a standard feature of the athena missing... It is true that most of us don't use mms, but just in case...
ok these are all good suggestions, i will keep them in mind
I currently use your FULL ROM/3.5 and find it to be excellent. I hope you will NOT include any real VGA additions. Every one of them I have tried so far causes display problems with my "must use" apps.
Thanks for all your hard work.
I've tested All Athena ROM available.
I am using now the Sogarth base, isn't the fastest, isn't the most complete, but it is stable, has gsensor, big htc home, audio player doesn't stop working in suspend mode, index bar in contacts, battery life is great WITH BT enabled and some diamond enhancements.
The probem is ... it has to be tweaked
.net35 AND net2.0 to have compatibility with older and newest applications (modaco netcf config), some registry tweaks to improve the speed , michy's sound enhancement are much better, athena sensor service has to be stopped, IMHO are needed:
1) a newest remote desktop,
2) wifirouter (ori ICS control) ,
3) schaps advanced config ,
4) moblue,
5) total commander,
6) irus fsplayer,
7) pocketrar,
8) omnia d3d drivers,
9) Gsen,
10) wkTask (HTC Xbutton removed),
11) cyberon voice dial
12) I need mms too
I don't need realvga, the applications I like could use VGA resolution without realvga! Last, but not least, having and athena ROM CLOSER to diamond ROM should be easy to have compatibility with diamond and raphael applications (the most "developed" HTC model)
I strongly suggest a newest Sogarth, not "Extreme" but improved one (SPL 3.5). and "Extreme Sogarth" lite SPL 1.2 and 3.5 tweaked for maximum speed

I have forgotten if you use the extrom.
If you don't , could you ask michyprima for his ap to access this .
It is called "Addins"
there's a new base rom popped up in the general forum..
Scratch that I can't find it now..

I think that app is good but only if you have the loop problem as all my roms are uc compliant, which is the same thing just launches from the sd card not ext rom.
my 2cents: irus in your knew rom maybe you can focus on a new build and speed speed speed.

I haven't used the uc app.
does it allow you to choose what you install , or does it install everything in the list?

it installs everything in the sdconfig.txt file but if you don't want something just delete that line of text. when i release my next version i will put a template of sdconfig.txt but this will only work for people without the loop problem.
Suggessions
Hi Irus,
What about the following:
1- Fnger touch
2- More diamnod drivers, graphics & functions like in ap5
3- check this link and sea if we can avail such functions http://www.touchxperience.com/
Cheers

HTC CM Wifi Internet Sharing
Thanks To Tom_Codon For Sharing the Package from his New Tom Topaz Rom.
I resized and compressed The Graphics for VGA and Compressed The Exe File.
So this looks to be Working Without any Dependencies, Please Give feedback so others know where it is or isn't working.
I know people want this, so Getting it out there was Prime Directive. (Not sitting on something that will be out in a month or two, keeping it just for myself in roms i cook, sharing it)
Share Your Internet Connection As A Wifi HotSpot, Thank you HTC for looking at what users want.
Download
It is adviced to install this with the Topaz CommManager as its an add on to a newer version.Does Not have a Shortcut in Programs because it has a Control Panel >> Connections entry!
QVGA Version By wapvirus + HTC Sroll
Some Q & AFound in the Thread
Temp Placeholder Q & A
Q: In running the app there's a possible resizing issue since you can't flick or otherwise use the DPad to go down. Regardless, you can still connect but my PC and another phone did not find the network that was supposed to be available when shared.[/QUOTE]
A: Don't Flick scroll Just press hold ad the heig of hwere your Provider connecction is mentioned and scroll a little bit up to get the rest of the menu.
A: If your using another phone to connect, you can find the Connection in the regular Wifi connection screen under "Computer to Computer" Connections.
Q: There is no Shortcut in Programs.
A: Initially the App can by found under Start Menu >> Control Panel >> Connections.
Q: Do we need to turn on the wifi in the device where the program is running?
A: The app starts the Wifi by itself.
Q: My PC or Laptop is not seeing the SSID.
A: For the people having trouble seeing the network, make sure your pc displays adhoc connections and not just access points.
Q: I have no menubuttons on a HTC TP2 (german stock ROM). Any ideas?[/QUOTE]
A: This app has a 0409.mui so it either needs that Mui translated to 0407 or a translated version, for now it's just English.
Q: Wil this work on a QWVGA, QVGA or Non HTC Device.
A: There have been some confirms and spotted ports to Samsungs, so it is possible to make these versions
Q: I cannot scroll in any way?
A: It might be your rom is missing HTC Scroll package cooked in.
Beta Cab attached to Try, (since i can't right now ATM)
It places both Shortcut in Control Panel and in Programs.
Starting from Programs is regular
Starting from Control panel, will keep backlight on during use of app.
It Needs Mortscript Support in rom or installed by:
http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&entry=ms_program&action=list
Do not link directly to this as it's just a test version.
OK guys, I’ve collected all reports with links to the original reports. I only collected error reports of not being able to see the ad-hoc network created by the phone, NOT problems resulting from the lack of HTC Scroll.
PLEASE, when you do report FAILURE, try making sure alternative solutions all explained in my dedicated article (http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/9/the-multiplatform-bible-using-your-handset-a-modem ) (ICSControl, WalkingHotSpot or WMWifiRouter work. If they don’t, try installing kliptik’s ICS CAB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4178146&postcount=122 and re-test all the apps. It’s only when they do work but HTC’s app doesn’t that you should send a failure report. Also, Omnia users will want to try the CAB at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4187489&postcount=186 . (The latter can only be installed on genuine Omnias and nothing else, it seems.) Of the three, I recommend the WMWifiRouter trial (at http://global.wmwifirouter.com/trial/ ) as it’s much easier to use / configure than ICSControl and WalkingHotSpot doesn’t have a trial.)
If you report SUCCESS, make sure you do try the internet connection before doing so. Simply being able to install and start the app isn’t sufficient – you’ll also need to see (and connect to) the ad-hoc network it creates.
Also, please clearly state in all your success / failure posts the phone model and the ROM version you use. If you use a cooked (and not stock) ROM, make sure you also list the name / version of the cooked ROM. Thanks!

There has been some posts in this thread, other threads and on other sites that got me a bit worried.
Especially a few comparisons between this HTC solution and Chainfire’s WMWifiRouter solution.
CM internet sharing is a very simple solution that we have little to no control over. It’s nice to see that HTC is forced to innovate because of good ideas from developers. After letting users wait years for just such a solution, that should have been added a long time ago. And because it wasn’t added, a developer fills in the gap and makes the solution.
Looking at the response to Wifi sharing, it can be said that this is a much wanted and needed feature.
That said it is only logical that it has a market value.
Especially if it has more and better configuration options for some one that will actually NEED a solution like this.
XDA is not about getting everything for free, it is about understanding how things work and make them better and get them working on older devices.
And though not everyone might know this, but Chainfire is just the kind of developer that fills in the gaps that HTC refuses to fill, from working on Graphics drivers to releasing/opening GPS ports quicker and that nicely ported and Skinned Manila interface with CFC compression your probably looking at every day.
Yes getting stuff out there, that isn’t supposed to be out there, can be fun, unless it creates a reason for people to start vent their opinions in unfashionable manners.
So if you really like Wifi Sharing and believe it is something you really need, maybe it would be good to consider Actually buying a solution that can be configured. (personally i don't need Wifi Sharing but i do need a good alarm so i don't mind couching up some money for that)
And if you just want to try out the HTC version, then have fun with it.
But don’t go *****in on someone’s hard work, or we will all find ourselves on a very boring XDA when there’s no one left to fill up the gaps HTC leaves behind.
I consider my enthusiasm to get CM internet Sharing out there a Fail towards someone I find has made more important contributions then mine to this forum, for that I am sorry.

French Cab Posted By faouzy42
Very cool, thanks for the post!
It installs fine and the initial screens are proper. In running the app there's a possible resizing issue since you can't flick or otherwise use the DPad to go down. Regardless, you can still connect but my PC and another phone did not find the network that was supposed to be available when shared. Any ideas? I'd love for this to work I can upload pics if needed.
Wow! Wouldn't have thought something like this would come from HTC. Very cool!
thank you. such a small file
Very cool! Just make a shortcut from the Windows file on the device and you are good to go. Works very well.
i downloaded the cab and put it on my TP. Installed the cab and then nothing. I tried to find it under "programs" and i couldn't find it. I tried installing it on the device and the storage card without any luck. what am i doing wrong? any and all help is appreciated. thanks!
it's in settings - connections
here, i have edited the cab to install a shortcut into the programs directory
Nice app
WMWiFiRouter I'm sure is concerned with this app since it will cut into its $29 application.
I installed it and created a shortcut with no problem
It starts and I input the info (SID and KEY) into my Wifi laptop but my laptop can't find it.
I'm using ATT FUZE
Do we need to turn on the wifi in the device where the program is running?
I have a Touch Pro CDMA version on Sprint. Installed cab, soft reset, went to start-programs-settings-connections tab-wifi internet sharing and started. The display is fine. It would seem you could scroll down but I can't. The main problem is that it never connects. Next to the SSID it should have a green colored bullet point to indicate I'm now sharing the connection, however it just spins. Removing the program, installing the Internet Sharing fix, and reinstalling the program has no effect. It doesn't broadcast the conenction and it won't allow me to choose a different DUN besides "Sprint." Still using WMWifiRouter 0.91 for now. However, I really hope someone can get this working for Sprint CDMA WinMo phones.

does anyone know what i am doing wrong? thanks in advance for the help
By the way, turning on your data conenction and Wi-Fi similarily before you "start" the router have no effect either way. It would seem this is designed to work without any dependencies.
which devices
thanks for sharing
does it work with all winmo devices ?
which os supported ? 5/6/6.1/6.5 ?
