[ROM][WM6.1][WWE] WM6.1 for Charmer Pure Edition [Update: 2009.01.20] - MDA Compact II ROM Development

Hi All!
First of all a short story about this ROM:
As a Charmer owner I tried all available WM6/WM6.1 ROM in this forum. All are great, but I wanted to find something like the WM6 Essential edition, but based on WM6.1. Yesterday I decided to cook my own ROM, so I selected ChrBeck's WM6.1 WWE ROM (Thanks for him!) and tried to remove all 3rd party software, but HTC applications.
I also created my kitchen (based on Molski.Biz's Wizard Kitchen - Thanks for him ).
Now, it's only a bunch of scripts, but I'll put together with a short howto and publish it here.
Version History:
v0.3
-------------------------
- Upgraded to .NETCF 3.5 (performance increased significantly)
- Added .NET Configurator
- Registry tweaks regarding performance (caches)
Download here.
v0.2:
-------------------------
- Restored original png/gif files (splash screen, default_stwater, blankbanner, etc)
- Set Windows Default as the default theme (blue)
- Restored original Arcsoft MMS Composer because the integration of the new version failed.
- Added htcutil.dll and Device Information now working
- Translated the rest of the html help files (some were in CHS)
Download here.
v0.1:
-------------------------
- Initial release
- Removed components from ChrBeck's ROM: pocketnotepad, batterybar, psshutxp, HTC Home plugin, HHC, diamond and HTC themes, TFlow
- Updated ArcSoft MMS Composer to 5.0.70.24
- Cleared Extended ROM
- Autorun.exe now in English (removed german mui file )
- Changed boot splash
- Set WM6.1 green as default theme
Download here.
Known issues:
- Still nothing
Credits:

Molski.Biz
All other who not listed here
Instructions:
Download and run self extracting exe. This will create a directory with the ROM image and the required tools. Run Update_ROM.bat and follow the instructions on the screen (if any).
Remember: You have to flash your device back to WM5 before using this upgrade!
Disclaimer: This ROM is not official. You can use it on your device, but I take no responsibility for any damage!
Remark: HTCUtil.dll was removed, because it's already in version 0.2.

Nice to see your first ROM here. I'll test it soon.

Looks sweet Will try A.S.A.P.

Interesting thing happens:
Installed .NETCF 3.5 in version 0.2 and selected as the default NETCF provider. The result is a significant speed gain!
The plan is to integrate NETCF into the ROM...More comes later.

EDIT: Successfully integrated NETCF3.5 and NETCF2.0 with only 1MB memory penalty:

great to see my follower :-D
I'm reverting back to charmer, maybe I'll try cooking once more - but untill that, I'll use your rom...go on man
P.S.: IMHO touchflo is todays standard - wouldn't be better to include it? It works really good on chrbeck's rom...

Thanks nocturne.op.15!
I know that almost every ROM includes TF, but I wanted to create a clean and fast version of WM6.1.
Maybe once I cannot optimize my ROM any longer, I'll integrate such kind of tools.
PS.: Nice to hear, that you using my ROM on your charmer...

well, still found two things from chrbeck's rom - ugly (and unusable due to missing smartdial) dialer and calc skin
but it's good rom - and a good work, go on with cleanup
If you will try to perform extreme cleanup as I did in Essentials, you may find this usefull: http://www.dependencywalker.com/
it works pretty good...

As WM6.5 "released" to public, I will focused on to get WM6.5 running on charmer, so 6.1 pure development stopped for now. (but not forever )

HELP!
This is my first devise on WM!!
May you wright how to do it with 0.3 version. Everything you can - what I need to do, step by step?

Sorry to say that su unfriendly but READ THE STICKYS. We have a how to there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513426
The first part with the old Utility is the right for your Device.

Compliments to rmagyar,
Stable, Fast and very nice ROM for my HTC Charmer...
Speed and stability first of all..
Two comment:
1) Bluetooth is not receiving from other PPC machines!
is there a BT fix?
2) Sms threading? possible to add?

Looks good for me, i wanna try it
but page pool is only 6mb
Is there any way to change it after flashing?
I have installed V3.
Works fine, good speed, almost 77mb free on first boot, low batery consumption,but I cannot open camera software,say that is unsigned,or something like this.Wait a fix.
GPRS Icon
Same problem as tom's, the 'G' GPRS Symbol doesn't work (you won't see the problem if you're in a 3G or HS area!) - quickly fixed by adding a registry key, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2419146&postcount=334
Aside from that, seems as good as Tom's - not spectacularly different or faster,IMHO
I have flash it and i have some problems..
1)Camera don't works.
2)Where is TouchFlo scrolling? It's the must have tool!
3)Page Pool is too small.
4)I have received sms written by hieroglyps from unknown person... and my sms-reply window got a problem (I use chinese msyh.ttf font, so there no problem with reading, but it shows very strange window!)
5)And there is happened some various bugs, when i tryed to install my soft... (Resco today plugin, Touchflo scroll)
Without this ***** problems and bugs, this rom will be the best rom for touch dual.
I hope you can do it
hello peoples,
thx for the feedbacks.. what i can say..
1. Camera will be fixed
2. Touchflo is removed (also the tool) - can be installed separatly
3. I make the Pagepool to 18mb
4. I must know wich bugs you means... i have also installed software and i dont have problems
5. The "G" icon will be fixed.
greets Blackdragon
Bugs:
1)There is a small program in tray. After trying to close it, OS always crashes....
2)After installing resco today, it didn't appear on Today. Reinstalling have solve this problem
3)Ftouchflo scroll just don't work , i have tryed uninstall it, and my phone have freezed
4)I have installed HTC Cube (I need touch scrolling), but scrolling don't work properly
i am uploading the camera-bugfix..
copy all the files to the touchdual\windows folder and restart the device..
greets
Here is a cab for the lazy people like me which fixes the camera issue and the missing G icon.
If you like the favorite people tab on the HTC Home, delete the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial and do a soft reset.
Edit: In some way the above changes seem to enable the large start menu. My guess is that deleting the registry key is mostly responsible for it.
wmn79 said:
Here is a cab ...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hi, is this CAB working for anyone else? I can start Camera app but when I try to shot a photo, camera play sound,start to focusing or something like that for 3-5 secs, for a second show static image and throw some error message "Unable to capture photo. Unable to get frame from camera device."
strange, anyone know how to solve this? thx
see the first post..
of course I've tried to use your fix, too... I uninstalled the wmn79's CAB and use your fix, but nothing happens.. the same result... any idea? or should I hard reset my device to delete all mess from CAB and try to use your fix again?
I have the same problem, didn't test to make a photo when I installed it.
It is strange because the only thing the cab does is place the files in the windows folder. Tried different combinations of file atributes (read only, hidden, system, archive) for the files but it doesn't seem to help.
If you just uninstall the cab you get the initial error message again.
i have testet my fix and its works..
when i would have mor feedbacks i would cooking a new version..but only for this two things i dont think that is a good ideea.. my fix works, i can confirm that.

[DEVELOPMENT STOPPED][ROM][New Gene]Sumit's BlackMetal M2D ROM v1.0

UPDATE : DEVELOPMENT STOPPED : I'm not working on this ROM anymore. This is quiet stable version so feel free to try it out. But please don't contact me, unless its an emergency.
Hey Guys!
Wait is over. Here is another nice ROM for everybody to enjoy. This time, its with Manilla 2D and as with my previous ROMs, its fully loaded and everythings working the way it should be. Its a no nonsense, no compromise ROM. I've tested it quiet thoroughly for last 3 days and found it quiet stable and speedy.
I give it the name BlackMetal. The name is inspired by the design of ROM.
Here are the details of it:
ROM's base operating system version is CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 20270.1.3.1)
Free Memory at Startup : 23.11 MB initially, After normal use for 5-10 mins : 20.10 MB
Free User Space : 44.29 MB
Page Pool : 5 MB
I have created it with my own ported XIP from WM 6 Original Rom for P3400i using Ramerson's Kitchen (my favourite) for GENE.
Here are some screen shots from the ROM:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have also attached the individual images of screen shots with this post.

1. SMS/MMS Account Missing on First Boot.. [Wokaround Available]

Credits
- Many Many thanks to Ramerson for his great work.
- Thanks to Ankit360 who really started the work on this ROM, made it available for new gene for the first time and gave me the direction to work in.
- I would also like to thank Om-By for his fabulous page pool changer that i use with every rom that i create.
If you like my work and feel that its worth some money, please donate to me, whatever amount you like at
Enjoy!
Problem Resolutions:
------------------------
1. SMS/ MMS Account missing on first boot!!!
Solution: It happens for some strange reasons that i haven't been able to find but there is a quick workaround for it.
1. Open Messaging, and close it without doing anything.
2. Go to the Messaging tab of Manilla 2D and Press either the Create New SMS button or select New from the menu.
3. A new sms window will come at this time. Cancel the Message. SMS and MMS account would have been created by now.
4. Duplicate Installation of Audio Manager in \Program File taking up phone memory unnecessarily!!
Solution: Some people might not even notice it. But if you have read this thread carefully, you will notice that you have less phone memory that what is quoted in Post #1. Actually this is a duplicate installation of audio manager created for some unknown reason. i have done all the usual checks but can't find any particular solution for this that i can cook with the ROM. But you can delete the whole Audio Manager folder safely from \Program File without any problem. Audio Manager runs directly from \Windows Folder and the shortcut in Start Menu > Programs also points to that. This is just useless.
3. Audio Booster doesn't allows entering Equalizer settings and checking the equalizer checkbox + Missing Audiobooster Option in Audio Managers Menu
Solution: This is not a problem and happens with some versions of AudioBooster and Audio Manager, if their version numbers are different. To resolve it :-
Just start AudioManager, let it build its library a little and then play a song for minimum 5 seconds. After that start AudioBooster, adjust one of its sliders a little. Then soft reset your phone, and both the problems will be solved. What happens is, they create their respective registry settings on first start and after that everything is fine. In Original ROMs from HTC, since on first boot the Customization applications runs, it sets up the registry itself. But even with that, you have to reboot your device anyway.
4. Audio Manager and Windows Media Player stop playback if power button is pressed and phone enters suspend mode.
Solution: First of all, Thanks to Shaunak.it for finding the solution.
This problem occurs in some specific builds of gene. It can occur in old gene and new gene both. So here is what it is like:
Normally, If you press the power button while music is playing, Audio Manager and Windows Media Player stop playback. But this only happens when headset is not connected. If headset is connected, the playback wont stop.This is a standard behavior and not a problem. But on some p3400 and P3400i phones, the playback stops no-matter headset is connected or not. I was not able to find the solution for this problem as it was not happening with me. But a friend of ours from this forum, shaunak.it solved it as he was having this annoyance. Here's what you have to do:
Open the Task Manager Advanced. Click the down faced arrow to the right of the screen and select Regedit from the menu. Now in the folder tree on the upper half of the screen, Navigate to :
For AudioManager:
HKLM > Software > HTC > Audio Manager > Config
In the lower section, look for a value called ENTER_SUSPEND. If its there, double tap on it to edit it and enter 0 as new value. Otherwise, in an empty area in the same place, tap and hold for a while for a context menu to appear. Select New > Value. Select REG_DWORD as Value Type. In the name field, type ENTER_SUSPEND. Click the Set Data button and enter 1 as the value. Click Ok and then again Ok.
For Windows Media Player
HKLM > System > Current Control Set > Control > Power > State > Suspend. Again in the lower left corner look for a value named WAV, if its there, double tap to edit it and then enter 0 as its new value. Otherwise, in an empty area in the same place, tap and hold for a while for a context menu to appear. Select New > Value. Select REG_DWORD as Value Type. In the name field, type WAV. Click the Set Data button and enter 0 as the value. Click Ok and then again Ok.
This will solve your problem.

Hey dude, great job

@crazy4tricks: Well do it, but do remember this is for New Gene only at this moment. If you have an unpatched phone, read the guide provided as the first thread of this forum to patch it.
@hksin1988: Buddy my previous ROM (Pro User's ROM) was for both old and new gene. I will build the old gene version eventually. I dont have this phone so it takes some time for me to do that.
Good luck and thanks for your good words guys!
Black Metal Rom
Million thanks Sumit. I am downoading the rom now and the feedback will follow tomorrow.

what type of changes u made in xip to windows live work ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The XIP that came with this ROM has many things missing, so i extracted the XIP, re-ported it using the Original P3400i WM6 ROM's XIP as base and created a new rom-hdr.nb using this XIP. In simple words, i recreated the whole BASE folder in the kitchen.
@All P3400 OLD GENE Owners:
Guys, be patient. I'll do the porting thing tonight and maybe upload it tonight or tomorrow. Its not like just pressing a button guys, i will need to port the whole XIP again. It takes about 1.5 hours of work.
@swapnil: Buddy the kitchen is quiet huge in size. And its even not complete yet, i use parts of kitchen from Old Users ROM and Part from this new ROM. So its a little more complicated than you think. The Base kitchen that i am using is Ramerson's and Ankit's manilla ROM. So if you really want to learn the process, get these two and read a lot on XIP porting etc on this forum. I have also learn that way. Porting a ROM requires a bit of understanding of the whole architecture of the OS. And even greater if you want to optimize it.
And by the way, when you use Ramerson's kitchen for porting a different ROM, the only thing you can use from the original kitchen is the kitchen.exe file and 1-2 files from the BASE folder. Rest is created from the ROM you are porting, its your job to create it. When you understand the process, you can use this fact as a hint
And guys, one request. Please dont Quote the original post in which i posted details about the ROM with your replys. It looks ugly and serves no purpose. Thank you
Attached thumbnail. LOL

Hey Shaunak, how are you getting the coloured icons for active sync and signals? would you like to share with me??
You have got a message

[ROM][WM6.5] Very light 23081 + Kitchen

This is a WM6.5.1 ROM, based on the 2.08 OEM ROM and 23047 XIP/SYS from Da_G.
All it has got is the bare minimum OEMDrivers, plus a fully featured SYS (some of the SYS applications have been tweaked: removed extra screen layouts for LockScreen, removed SampleMusic etc, UPXed a few things).
The XIP has been tweaked quite heavily to get the best performance, and you should be able to add whatever you like to this ROM and it should remain stable.
Try it and see (and install whatever keyboard you feel like using).
This will probably act as the basis for some "full" ROMs afterwards.

OLD:
Based on my Diamond/Rhodium 23034 ROM (which is being updated to 23037 now) I'm proud to present WM6.5.1 for Topaz owners!
It's a clean/light ROM with the focus on speed (at least until HTC makes their applications work with the new layout!)
So, the download links:

(May be unstable, this is only a TEST ROM)
Thanks to flippy for ROM hosting!
New ROM up now!
Fixed (hopefully) posted now!
tested - bug on restarting is gone - i will test the rest of the features right now
but im unable to test because of the same keyboard error i have posted to shadowlines rom - if you use the new keyboard - and change it with the directional button - keyboard dissappears - hope you fix that to- thanks
Keep freezing after a while after every window start-up ...
Have done the hard reset after flashing on device, but the prob still same ...
Dear l3v5y, your ROM apppearance is very useful and nice. go on with your ROM! Thanks.
After a quick test I noticed two things:
1. The magnifying effect is on and I'm unable to find a place where to turn it off. This is really annoying!
2. After starting Windows Live and trying to set account details, keyboard went missing and the program failed shutting it down after clicking the screen where keyboard was supposed to be.
3. Once I was unable to start File Explorer from Start menu, restarting the device helped on this matter.
So far then, stabilty isn't great. I could probably fix issues by removing the HTC IME, though then you're left with WMs crappy one....

New ROMs + kitchen now in the first post!
I'm going away for a few days tomorrow, so won't be doing much active support... If something is urgent, email me (use the link in my profile).
I think your 09082804 is very speedy and light. Thank you for giving us new works. By comparing other newer ROMS, this is far better than them.
Would it be possible for you to include teater, msn weather and money? Or, can you provide them as additional cabs?
Also Windows Media Player doesn't have enough codecs. Can you provide a link to download necessary codecs?

One bug: camera.exe doesn't work because of either no sign or missed component.
Thanks l3v5y, just so you know though the kitchen links do not work, and the rapidshare one for the kitchen just has a spelling error.
Are you sure that screen shots in post#1 is for build 23037?
Because I have not "AM or PM" in time&clock setting!
I found that Netfront browser doesn't work at all. Can you guess why it doesn't?
http://www.access-company.com/products/mobile_solutions/netfrontmobile/browser/35_wm_tp.html
Fasssssssssssssssssssssst
This is the fastest ROM I ever benchmarked. In fact: the first ROM above the 2000 points in my benchmark totals. And it's WM6.5!!!
There are a few remarks though:
- it's a very very light ROM, virtually no applications, no Manila (the latter is just fine for me, I use PointUI)
- the magnifiing thing is very annoying, almost unusable
- in some applications (like Total Commander) there's no OK/Close button anymore
- camera is not working.
But still: very very fast, a new record
Congratz l3v5y!!!

I can try and make up some cabs from the OEM packs... I removed that stuff cause it's extra stuff that may not be needed by most.

Those two come from my idiocy, I forgot to include two packages (mHubVO and DirectShow) that include all the codecs for media player and Camera. I'll upload a fixed ROM and those packages for use with the kitchen.

Well spotted, the screenshots are actually from my Diamond 23034 ROM... I haven't taken any screenshots of my 23037 ROM as it's cosmetically pretty similar.

I will check it
I have a different device,but can help you with good advice:
"BluetoothPlatformType"=dword:00000000
is for comm. manager,it has nothing to do with BT functionality.I think you need to find working bluetoothsettings.dll for your device.Try to add this package.No guarantee,though.
Udachi!
thank you, I already fixed bluetooth.
If you or someone else can help me with fixing EzInput "My Words" this woud be great.
I started new thread about this problem and some users tell me it works in their ROMs, some tell me it doesn't. But nobody can tell how to fix it.
I tried install this ROM and my EzInput packages work with it. So the problem is somewhere outside...
1.the weather dosn't work on main page below clock, but it work in menu in the bottom of the screen.
2.Some inscriptions in options in not clear language.
3. In the program menu I press to show all programs, but it does not open it, and it shows the list of programs as though I want to add in the program menu.
I will update post next version soon.
Thank you for testing.
Your bugs state in next version:
1. "the weather dosn't work on main page" - WORKS. This feature depends on location service, you should agree to use it.
2. "Some inscriptions in options in not clear language." - FIXED
3. "In the program menu I press to show all programs, but it does not open it, and it shows the list of programs as though I want to add in the program menu." - This is how Manila works, it shows you this list and it will start a program that you select. If you need standard Programs menu - just select [Start] on top of the screen.
as you fixato the bluetooth I have the same problem on porting it to Jade
new version is released
download it from the first post

Changelog:
- Updated OS Version to 5.2.21895 ( 21895.5.0.90 )
- Manila version 2.5.20113030.0 ( fully tweaked )
- Tweaked for speed and stability
This Cheetah Nld release is based on Cheetah 3.2r WWE and is completely different than the
Cheetah releases before. ljankok has altered the original Topaz manila for speed and created
a very fast WWE rom. Together we worked on the Nld version and here it is
The Dutch manila 2.5.20113030.0 contained broken text lines at several places due to bigger font,
i've changed all ( as far as i know ) lines of text so all fit the screen.
Sure hope you guys like this one since it has been a lot of work.
Download here: Cheetah 3.2r Nld ( 9/3/2010 version )
Be sure to apply a hard-reset after flashing and apply a soft-reset after configuring your device.
Notes:
Sense 2.5 in Cheetah 3.2r Nld is cfc compressed. If your manila/sense addon/enhancement doesn't
support cfc compression than it will break/mess up your manila installation.

From now on there will be 2 different ROMS provided in this thread, Cheetah for the best optimised and fastest rom and TopaT will be the "close to stock" rom. Both will be stable and ready for daily use, still one will house more speed while the other houses more standard apps.
The choice is yours.

Note:
Since a while i’ve been in contact with ljankok, testing his releases and sharing some feedback. This time ljankok showed his best side and shared his full Cheetah kitchen with me.
I’m not even close to being a chef but i do like to try and make a nice custom rom. Been working for some days on this release so i don`t know what`s left of the Cheetah 2.0 Nld base but since ljankok offered his Cheetah this one will keep listening to the same name.
Thanks ljankok, you rock!! ( Dat rijmt en het is nog geen Sinterklaas )
Hope you guys like this one!

Nice to be his apprentice, this is a nice and fast way to learn. It`s hard without help and no Tomtom can show me the way around in this Kitchen

Yes, and your work is appreciated!
Well, thank you very much for this great ROM. It's my first, actually. One thing I noticed is that de title of the tab 'Muziek' is in CAPITALS, while the other titels only have the first letter in capital.
I'am not complaining, it's only something I noticed

Well the Muziek tab in capitals is one thing i also noticed, but i noticed it in many others, think this is HTC standard.
Glad you like this rom, do come back for new releases.
Rom is great. Runs now almost a day and no bugs ar found. What i notice but i never used it before is that power point is missing. I'm happy and will ad this rom to the phone of a friend. He want only a dutch rom that is working fine.

Good to hear you enjoy this one.
The Rom, is very great! I love the dutch version since I do not want to play around with cabs for the T9 keyboard. I haven't noticed any bugs yet and the bluetooth is indeed working again Thanks so far and I will bookmark this page to see if there are interesting future updates.
By the way, anyone who can explain what the best way is to keep a ROM as fast as possible? I mean, what type of actions slow down the speed of the ROM? E.g. does it matter how many applications you install on the storage card or will that only matter when they always run in the background? Does the amount of contacts matter, etc etc...

all of those adds up to slow the phone down little by little, I believe (number of apps installed, number of apps installed on the storage card and what type of storage card, apps running in the background, number of contacts, numbers of text messages, etc.)... also like if the phone is searching for signal in weak spot areas while you're in the middle of an app.

Good to hear you like Cheetah 2.1 NL Actually i always want to try new releases but i think i will pass for now since i also like this one Still some things that need some attention so i`m working on it.
There's lots of thing that can slow down your rom, installing applications can, lots of messages can but i never noticed a huge amount of contacts can. But maybe that's because i only have 211 contacts listed?! For me this project is a way to create a rom version providing in basic needs so everyone can choose what they do and don't install.
A lot of applications update on regular base so installing by .cab is preffered over cooking them into the Rom. That`s why i`m using 2nd post for .cab add-ons.
I guess it's just a matter of testing things out and see what happens, if an application does slow down the rom you can always uninstall

Hardreset:
1. With the Touch Diamond2 switched off, press the volume up and down buttons simultaneously.
2. Keeping them pressed, press power button to turn Topaz on.
3. Release the volume buttons when a message flashes up to say, “This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.”
4. Press the volume up button.
Ram and Mamory:
Actually i failed to look, since my device is loaded with things i like it wouldn't be right to tell you abour Ram and Memory right now. I would say give it a go, this rom is nice and fast. Let me know how about the Ram and memory.
Or you can wait untill it's flashing time once again and i will tell.
Calibrate Battery:
1. discharge the battery completely (by playing video, audio, etc.)
2. Remove the battery and wait about 1min then place it back (do not power on the phone)
3. Full Charge the phone, wait when LEDs turns green (do not power on the phone)
4. When fully charged - remove the battery (do not power on the phone)
5. Wait about 1 min then place the battery to the phone and now you can power it on.
This is the way i'm used to do it.
When you do a search on XDA you'll find different ways to do it, all with their own pros and cons. I would say it's your choice.
Good luck!
