Very minimal Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for XDA Serra.
Thanks to Ervius for his kitchen that made this possible!
Caution: I do not take responsibility for bricking your phone etc. This is done under your own steam and choice!
I have designed this ROM to be minimal and basic. On flashing memory footprint of 31% approximately. Run's smoothly and fast.
This ROM requires Hard SPL to be on your phone.

RADIO (Gives great call quality on the Serra and up to 12 Satellites on GPS):
1.02.25.32 (AT&T)

SCREENSHOTS BELOW:
thanks, sounds very interesting!
TF3D not from rhodium, but old one (from raphael) ?
Is it mean that i could upgrade my Serra (WM6.1) to WM6.5??
this could be a great 6.5 rom... has potential! thanks for sharing and we'll post feedback
Hi everyone!
Glad people are liking it so far. Have noticed a lot of downloads so fingers crossed some responses soon.
TF3D is basic of basic. I didn't include the HTC Home, I don't use it now the WM6.5 interface is improved. I also found that it killed battery life. I did include the HTC dialler, volume controls, task manager and gestures. The camera is also included.
Yes it does mean your 6.1 Serra can be on to 6.5 now. I have run it on my Serra for one week now. Battery is fantastic, up to 3 days with normal use. No issues found so far!
Looking forward to hearing back from you all. I'll make any mods people request.

Could you post few screenshots???
..nice rom guy!! very light!! i flash my tp..and all it's functionally....
that it's my screnshoot!!
i hope i can help tj1984 whit
screenshot...
p.s only problem the keyboard touch....little for my finger...
mano:
Try going to Settings - Input and changing to full Qwerty. That's the HTC Touch Pro keyboard. Much better finger wise. SMS issue also gone which means the auto input using the HTC one works.
I'll get some screen shots tomorrow including using TaskFacade. Post tomorrow evening.
Keep the ideas coming!

READ everything before downloading please!
This is most likely the first beta(unless the moon turns blue and this beta is flawless) of the new AP 5.0 rom
its late at night and i will probably get a more detailed version of this and a vanilla uploaded tommorow but here is the run down:
most issues from 4.0 fixed hopefully.
new config app is in the works but didn't make it for this beta.
pretty much everything has been updated to latest and includes all working apps from the diamond rom.
album should now be reliable. haven't seen any problems with it coming up yet*knock on wood*
no manila sip since that changed the whole dialog stuff when composing emails and such. probably will end up as a cab in final with option to turn on and off the manila suggestions that replace the microsoft ones.
other things i dont remember
THIS IS FOR SPL 3.5 ONLY!!! IT IS A FULL ROM ALSO AND A BETA
please test app compatibility. also i tried to fix the realvga issues but it seems impossible without cmonex or creator of realvga.
one issue i would like to challenge someone to fix: a dialog should come up when connecting usb that should ask if u want to connect to activesync or mass storage mode. the exe for that dialog works(htcusbtopcdialog.exe or something like that in windows folder) but the dialog doesn't show up. browny points for the one who figures this out.
now here is the rom(remember this is for spl 3.5 only): DOWNLOAD SPL 3.5 ONLY
*note: sorry i had to say spl 3.5 so many times(still probably isn't enough) but i need to make sure some idiot doesnt try this with the old spl 1.XX*
Pawel
Can you make a Vanilla on the old spl please please please please? I don't want to repartition the memory unnecessarily, as it severely limits my ROM options.
Thanks!

dont worry there will be one. it was decided it was no good to do it for AP4 now, but AP5 WILL have one from day one. you have my guarantee for that
p.s.: I meant the final version above, but the beta will also have one tomorrow.

Your answer has made my day. I look forward to tomorrow, and hope can contribute to the testing effort also. Thanks so much.
Woot, trying now.
nice job.. ill stay posted
ssd upgrade?
will this rom support ssd upgrade from the poor microdrive?
can you flash from sdcard or is it just desktop only with this?
EDIT: appears desktop only, the 3.5bootloader keeps saying image not found, tried a few variations of ATHEIMG.nbh but no avail such as ATHE100.nbh ATHIMG.nbh ATHE100IMG.nbh
Cmonex, do you know what image name the new spl looks for?
Flashing With Microsd.....
hey all,
just a note, i have spl 3.5 on my x7501 and have flashed 4 different variations of cooked roms now, including AP 3.0 and a few others, and all from microsd... the only one i have found that WILL NOT flash from microsd is AP 4.0, as i cannot find a .nbh file after extracting the .exe (but it may be possible)...
Anyways, sorry i cannot say for sure that you can flash THIS rom yet as i havent tried it, but you CAN flash from microsd/minisd with spl 3.5 as long as the file name is ATHEIMG.nbh --- ONLY! (as far as i know)
hi
no comments, no screenshot from the 1st users ?
is it possible for you to make a version of AP 5.0 beta without all the extra programs in system and programs menu. Thank's
So far so good. AP5 Seems to be faster than AP4. Installing softwares now. I like the new volume control. Will keep posted.
Playing with it now, thanks a lot again to all!!
Looks very sleek and is definitely a lot quicker than AP4!
I like the new comm manager, but after switching to 128dpi it became unresponsive...
Tapping on any of its icons (WiFi, bluetooth etc.) simply makes it disappear...
Will report more later...
Cheers

Nope that doesn't work here with either ap4 Irus' 3.5spl rom or ap5.
-------
In the end I installed at work, as I found a cable in with one of the cameras.
seems much faster that ap4. not felt need to start tweaking too much yet..
Initial thougts, startmenu is set too big for initial load in 192dpi, might be best to turn it off set it smaller for initial run.
new htc home still prevents igo8 from starting. turn it off reboot and works fine.
Replaced htc home with UL and rltoday combo for speed and reliability.
new task manager and popup screen for system state is nice, when you press the new funky icons at the top. turned off task manager and use WKtask though instead as more functional.
Not checked yet what the buffer setting for the SD card is, on AP4 I set it to 256 as larger files loaded faster. But seems good so far.
Can write large files to MD without it corrupting, so maybe it was something in AP4 that was causing it.
Nice big buttons to press to answer calls!
Overall vast improvement.
FWIW i'm sticking with 192dpi for the time being as I like S2P and S2U2 which I'm about to install.
update, as typing had problem #1.
screen locked on incoming call, this was 3rd call I've had but 1st problem. had total commander open and flexmail (but not syncing). Not certain what caused it, can turn off screen with power button so device not hard locked, but reset with pinhole and it's working again.
Tested incoming call after reset with no issues, if I get it again I'll see if I can work out why.
Testing AP5 BETA
I have installed the AP5 beta this morning and it is working great. So far i have found only one change needed. But that is not an issue with using this rom. The first screen after reset is shows "Smart mobility, Featuring AP4" and it should say AP5.
Bluetooth, Wifi, and other software problems which we had in the AP4 are gone . It is a very good work by AP team. Thanks to all.
Before you release the AP5 can you please update the WKTask to version 1.173c which is the latest.
Anyone struggling with AP4 SPL 3.5 should try this. You will love it. Once again Thanks for the AP Team. Some screenshots from my device with AP5 Beta
Opera 9.5 build 781 with AP5 not working
I installed Opera 9.5 build 781 in AP5. It installed without problems, but I couldnt open Opera. Anybody else have the same problem ?.
Other softwares I tried and are working fine are
SPB Diary, SPB Finance, SPB Wallet, SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, Pocket Informant 8, Resco Photo Viewer Pro, Resco Keyboard and Resco File Explorer.
Thanks again for the ROM.
Thanks once again for your work.
New icon of Bluetooth in the bar of tasks.
New icon of 3g and bar of signal
It does not turn the single screen?
Good bare speed (Far better for my pleasure)
New system of tasks… when pressing on the icons in the bar of tasks appears to us a screen to use with the fingers… half strange… will be necessary to be accustomed….
Garmin XT follows without working. Why... Why....????
Bye!!!!

LOVE your cooking bro awesome custom roms!
This is a great ROM and I love the increase in battery life!!!! been able to use my phone extensively all day without having to charge it!!
Before I flash my phone again. Please let me know if the newest build still has this bug in it.
When you open the camera and take a picture, If you press the button to view the last picture you've taken in slide show, it locks up. You can only hit the home button to get out but if you do that, everything else you open locks up as well.
And another bug I had was I couldn't run the Diamond Hologram program.
I loved the ROM but was getting tired of soft resetting when using the camera and I missed Sprint TV.
Were any other changes made, like any optimizations?
How do you unlock the phone before you do the installation of JD's Rom?

How does this ROM specifically increase battery life or is it just a placebo effect? I try to avoid the hassle of using a customized ROM when the device is this new ( towards the last 6 months of using my 2 yr old Treo 700Wx i put a WM6 ROM on it), so what is the battery life juju this JD person is cooking into the ROM? I'd rather have that than a whole ROM.

LordLugard.. Im not sure what JD has specifically cooked into his ROM. You may be interested in this link as it details many hacks for the TP including extended battery life...
I'm using all the standard mogul hacks for battery life, and shutting off things like the IR sensor, which isn't there, to help conserve life.
The touch flow really sucks up the juice.
And you must remember, with this device having more ram to contend with, its going to be a bit more of a hog trying to power it.
Standard settup on my phone after restart is eating up 80 MB of ram. Thats a lot! This device does have a lot though.
I cannot wait to download this rom fix. There is a lot of silly stuff, and this should Improve performance as well.
Hey JD or anyone on here for that matter
I am a lil new here. My T.P. is unlocked with 3.5. My question is, is this an auto run rom like it would be to unlock or how do i go abouts running this i have a herman ruu downloaded but dont know if i need it.
i have done a minor search before i left for texas and couldnt really find anything specific for it other than a how to flash a rom post which didnt lead me to anything
thanks in advance...

Yea. I am wondering about that stuff too. I'm just now getting into this.
The cooked rom that I seen for CDMA Verizon 6700 was an executable that uploaded the rom, just like the other flashing programs.
Yes, can someone please explain "UNLOCKING your phone" for a CDMA phone, specifically the sprint touch pro?
From my understanding, CDMA phones are *customized* by the carrier. The only "unlocking" to be had is to get the MSL code, which allows you to edit the settings on your phone (which is necessary if you want to switch carriers).
search for hspl
Rom is installing the general apps right now. Will report my likings at a later time.
Great install, quick and easy.
Took about 3 minutes for me.

Yeah!! This a fanstastic news!!

excellent ROM
This is amazing for a beta. Email works. texts work. Its all in english and looks really nice. Love the new icons. And unlike the previous taxist ROMs I can access phone settings and set the bands correctly. all around loving it so far.
Its a perfect beginnig. I'm flashing tonight and hope for more news and releases soon.
10x mate :>
Nice
Michy,
Just flashed up from the TX 59 build, Very Nice work, One observation so far (has anyone else had a probelm with apps failing to install?) Resco Exp, Google Maps so far..
Cheers

bluetooth
Michyprima
thanks a lot sharing your work with us.
Just a question, are you using same bluetooth as your previous roms?
Taxist rom for 6.5 is efficient in my case due I have BT8010 headset and watch mbw150 in terms of quality sound and battery life.
amazing stuff michy, thanks alot
My 2 cents
My observations so far, everything looks great, about 80% on my commonly used apps get the "application install unsucessful" error, I have been having alot of system hangs (could be something I did install) I am on a x7500 (tried an extra HR just to be sure it was not a remnant from the flash) also updated radio from 1.57 to 1.58. Well that is the joy of beta testing I have always liked the Michy roms, This is only a 1st release and a very good one considering the work involved. (been running various wm6.5 builds on my Raph so I expect some bumps)
Cheers

hey michy, thanks for coming through for us. i've been away from my computer for a couple days and was relieved tosee that you posted a beta.
a few things because i xan't type fast on the phone.
**out of all the apps i tried to install, only abiut 16% was successful. even my beloved touchpal didn't install, i got no other keyboard to install, mot even shape writer. the PHM keyboard included doesn't work (when enabled i had to change keyboard in settings then softreset). Um, anyone got a good skin for VGAKEY?
**the menu system is much slower now...
**I love that the honeycomb is much faster scrolling!
**IEmobile is much more stable, i actually haven't tried to install opera yet. the only thing it is missing right now is tabs and a larger buffer.
**titanium is more beautiful but seems a bit slower than the 59.
**the camera seems a little slower than 59 too, but somehow it is showing me that i have space for about 2000 more pictures (at 1m) than it did on 59. so its either this build handles images much better than previous or it's lying to me.
**on the today screen please change the left softkey to phone (minor issue)
*when i put the visor on time, only the hour is shown, the minutes shows like "...". eg. for 12:30am it shows like this "12:..."
**the dialer is much slower than 59.
*the call status screen is beautiful. (i wish the dialer looked like it)
**why does it always go back to the home screen after i select an app? can this be changed by reg?
Again, thank you mike for coming on board. if you need a tester, send me a PM
hey Michy how you been?
any words or thoughts on why most cabs are uninstallable?
the problem with the time on today screen ks resolved: i fiddled with the time in region settings and it somehow made it work like it should.
Strange encounters from my device.
After flashed, couldn't get it to sync with pc.
even after untick advance in usb to pc.
Noted it never auto reset immediately at end of flashing,
others do.
After a few soft resets, device couldn't start up again.
Not possible from soft or hard reset. Only way is
to remove battery for several minutes, put it back and
then it will start up from power on.
Aware it is beta, just love to try it out.
Great rom and beautiful too, thanks Michy!
13/3 update
After re-flashed by using SD card, device power up normally again.
The strange encounter I had was probably due to bad flashing.
Only thing now is unable to install program using cab or from pc.
well, now I can say only about 3% (I think its less) of all the apps I've tried so far to install actually installed....I've tried damn near a hundred app so far......
i tried 6.5 before...the test version...its VERY slow..i dont know about you version though, i will flash it soon to find out...i've been using ur 6.1 version and its THE MOST STABLE OS EVER!!! only one snag in that is that when u place the keyboard on the athena it doesnt show the small menu like the AP roms do...could u perhaps blend that in this rom?

Thanks. I just wonder if they're going to remove download links instantly because of MS copyright claims, as they did with all other WM 6.5 releases. Regards.

Will this ROM be stable enough for daily use?...I tried the Test 2 and still a little buggy which is fine considering it is still very beta. But had to flash 2 hrs after to a different ROM due to screen kept freezing whenever a voicemail was coming through also MSN widgets were also still a little buggy. Either way I will flash to check it out but I hope to find a stable 6.5 that I can use daily.
It is for me

I have also noticed the MSN weather issue. Two things you can do, soft reset, or close out of MSN weather using task manager, then re-open and works fine. Will check into the text issue, I dont recall having that problem yet. Have you read or listened to the voice mail, before you reboot? If so, I can see why it would say "no new messages" Let me know

No problem with missed call or voicemail notification, Just text and email say no new messages if you reboot you could have 10 or 15 new emails before you reset and after it says no new messages. No big woop..... Still a fantastic ROM. Thanks

You've done a amazing job. If you could find a way to increase the speed of this rom, it would be amazing.

not even slightly....
You should check the appropriate thread though, maybe the have a similar one.
Nice Rom
-all connection work well ( wifi, bluetooth, USB)
-there isn't any problem as TF3D

I have moved on to the nexus one. I will no longer be making roms for WM. Thanx for all the support.
Thanks to Da_G for his great ports to Ervius Visual bepe's kitchen. Without him none of this would be possible. Thanks to Akeo, amarullz, Captain Throwback, Kisja for there work on manila 2.5.
Goal: To make a fast, stable, and clean rom with all the tools needed for daily usage.

As soon as it is released I will update the kitchen files.
Megaupload very slow lerrr . Can post other link ?
I am having a small issue in texts and email list. From the windows home screen if I select either texts or email and view the lists of messages, I can not scroll up or down by using the up or down button's until after I click on a message to open it then close back out of it. Anyone else with this issue?
Otherwise so far everything is working great. Exchange mail is working perfectly, Gps is good, no issuse's with anything else so far.
Thanks,
How s the battery life? If battery life is good, i will start flashing.
Thanks
Thanks, great rom so far haven found any bugs. Anyway, i reckon you should have opera mobile included in the rom. THanks again !
maybe htorch, modaco no data.
Edit, the keyboard is not optimised for touch pro, and also there's delay when typing on my physical keyboard. I guess there's a fix somewhere in the forum.
Strangely enough I have no hardware keyboard delay problem on my Touch Pro. I've found another bug, rather in TF3D2, but it doesn't appear in WM6.1 TF3D2 versions. When I set a wallpaper and then rotate the device, wallpapers rotates, but upper semitransparent taskbar (?) shows shifted wallpaper fragment. In other TF3D2 editions upper bar is not transparent, so there's no problem there.
But thanks for great ROM. For me the best of all WM6.5 available.
Virus?

Bravo! A 6.5 ROM w/ TF3D 2, I have to give this a go. Having the best of both world.
Thank you very much for the build~

I also had the same message. I just unzipped the NBH file only then used the Raphaelwrapper.exe from another rom to load it.
I am also having an issue with the incoming calls display. When i receive a call the light will flash but it takes forever for the display to load up the screen where i can accept or reject the call. When it finally does come up their appears to be two dialer's. One flashes very quickly (assuming this is the standard dialer) then the actual dialer comes up. I hope this makes sense, I don't know what the proper names for the programs are. I have soft reset and the call screen come up a little quicker but still having the issue.
I am not sure why it says the loader is a virus. I got it from xda. I will remove it from next release. I will be updating to the newest kitchen build and it should fix a lot of the small bugs that where reported. I will check evey bug posted in the new build. If any are still there I will fix it. I will update kitchen and release new version tonight after work. I will release touch pro and Htc fuze versions. I will have versions with TF3d 2, TF3D, TF3D HD, no TF3D and SPB Mobile Shell version. Thank you for your feed back.
Very nice. I installed 6.5 21198 yesterday and thought that I miss the TF3d. I like having the pictures of my favorite people I call. I also like having the new start menu from 6.5. So thank you for your hard work.

ShEp - You may want to switch to the other wrapper; the radio thread is full of these kinds of posts.
Really nice ROM Shep!!
Active sync works like a charm (couldn't with DaGs ROM).
gaaah I can't install it...I've been trying to search the forum but i can't find anything useful. I've tried several versions of spl but it hangs on 1% and restarts...which spl are you using when you're flashing? I had the 2.03 original rom before flashing to the other 6.5-rom
the problem is perhaps that I have a diamond?
