Ok, so I finally did it, I flashed a cooked ROM to my Fuze. Whew! I did run into a snag or two, but all is good now and I am even ready to try another one to see some of the differences.
I do have a couple of questions though. Flame me if you must, I can take the heat. However, trust me when I say, I read everything on this site.
1. I chose a "no manilla" version...why did it still have to do the "initial setup of touchflo interface..."? I thought Manilla was TouchFlo and therefore wouldn't need to be there at all. Since I really like SPB MS3, I didn't want anything TouchFlo.
2. I would like to try an NRG ROM, but I still can't quite grasp what customRUU is. Am I free to flash one of these with just the HardSPL that I already did? Or do I need somethign else before flashing one that has this in the folder?
3. Since I am still trying to catch up with what's available out there now...what the heck is CHome? At first, I thought someone mispelled that Google browser thing, but soon figured out that can't be it.

Welcome to the wonderful and addictive world of customized ROMs. It's one of the best ways to get the most from your Raphael, but sometimes we see things that 'aren't quite right' since they haven't gone through the rigor that vendors put their ROMs through. But then again, we get to play with the new, neat stuff!!!
As I understand it, Manila is HTC's interface/Today skin for the Raphael. You don't have to use it, but most ROM's will have it cooked in, so you'll need to go through the 'setup' as the ROM is first booted on your machine. If you don't want to use it, just go to the Today screen settings and de-select the TF entry.
CustomRUU is the application you run to do the actual install from a PC. There's no need to play with it all, just run it, and everything should happen automagically. There's also an option to run the install from a loaded SD card on the unit itself, but I stick to the Activesync connection version myself.
Sorry, can't help with CHome... I have no idea what that is either.
As I said -- welcome!
Therefore you are?

ASFAIK, CHome is the new Today interface for Windows Mobile 6.5.

Do you mean the Stylus Alignment? If so, you should always perform a stylus/screen alignment.
Do you mean the G-Sensor Calibration? If so, you should perform the calibration; although you may not use TF3D, many application can "leverage" the G-Sensor capabilities of the device.

I thought that was 'Titanium'
congratulations
Here ya go:
ConfettiCore is the underlying display component shared between Start Menu and Today screen.
CHome is the Today screen itself.
Titanium is the skin; alternatives are Bronze, Neo.
HTH,
* EDIT *
Thanks Da_G for your ever so wonderful wisdom and knowledge about all that is Windows Mobile ...
CHome and Titanium are somewhat interchangable. They both refer to the new 6.5 "Default" interface. If you have CHome installed on your ROM, go to Start>Settings>Today>Items and check "Windows Default". Everything else will uncheck itself. Now you can see CHome in action. CHome is new and ofcourse not yet released by Microsoft, so it is not flawless. Showaco has made a great tool for editing CHome so that you can control what is on the today screen. It takes bit of playing to figure it out, but give it a go. I really have become hooked on the simple effeciency of CHome.
As for the Initial Setup of Touch Flow, this is a left over from a previous ROM. Most of the ROM chefs, do not bother changing the set-up screens because they do not matter. They are simply something to display while the phone configures itself. Other Chefs seem to enjoy changing this screen, so results may vary. In any event, no need to worry.
RUU is the wrapper that installs your ROM image on the phone. When you download a rom and unzip it into a folder, there usually are 2 files, the RUU and the NBH file. The NBH file is the real ROM image. The RUU or Wrapper is what installs it to the phone. If you unzip a ROM and the wrapper is missing, simply copy it from a different ROM you have unzipped and add it to the folder with teh NBH file you want to flash. The RUU/Wrapper does not change from ROM to ROM, only the NBH changes. With both the RUU and the NBH in a folder, launch the RUU and it will load the ROM in that folder.
HARD SLP is the first step that will allow you to Flash Custom ROMS. AFTER you Hard SPL according to the directions, choose a ROM, download, unzip and launch the wrapper. You must be attached via activesync. After that, off you go.
Enjoy. Every ROM is like getting a new phone.

Thanks Doug, that helps me understand as it makes perfect sense. I appreciate all of the help I find on this site.
Now on to the next step doing that radio flash.
Excellent, Good to see a fellow Charlottean getting hooked on flashing.

Charlotte?
DAMN! For months, I had been thinking "if only one of these XDA guys lived here, he could show me how to do this and I wouldn't be terrified of bricking my phone"...and here you are?!?!?
Actualy, Titanium is the base WM 6.5 user interface\homescreen, chome refers to the dll plugin being utilized by Titanium. chome was ported from the WM 6.1 slidding panels interface made for smartphones and has been optimized by Showaco and others to offer more pluggin options with Titanium!
Manila 3D is HTC's user interface it is used in conjuction with touchflo but they are different things kind of, touchflo just refers to being able to scroll with your fingers and how the physics engine operates.
RUU stands for ROM Update Utility, it creates a bridge to your bootloader from your PC to flash through Active Sync\ Device Manager.
Hope this helps some!

Awesome work angel12! We need to figure out RevA for VZW
Yeah, i know. Ive talked to a couple people that have it working, and they are "young" in the forums, so i doubt they had to do anything special. Which is just weird that ours doesnt work.
Any plans on making a Sprint ROM?
Thanks,
All of this rocks.
I upgraded to your newest. I actually like your last Rom better. Better dialer, large start menu, Touch Calc, etc. Are any of those coming back in?
Could someone answer these two questions for me. Because I am sure kitchens are coming soon.
1. What is the advantage or disadvantage of putting a program in the Rom as opposed to adding it as a .cab install? Speed?
2. Say a newer program such as Live Search or S2U2, where new versions are coming out more often. Would those be better as an install or ROM. What happens when Microsoft Live is in a ROM and then they push a new version to you?
Thank you for answering these questions. Again thank you for this work !!!!!

this is my first with a rebuilt kitchen, those items are coming back, i just didnt realize they were missing until today
and putting programs in rom is nice when you have to do a hard reset, that way all your programs are already there but there are clean roms like DCD's that are bare bones, that way you can customize it exactly how you want it.
Thanks for that reply. The things that you put on are the things that I want anyway. I do not want anything stripped, the was boring and not anywhere as useful with out all of this.
So putting apps on the Rom has the only advantage of hard resets? They do not boot faster or operate faster?
Again, thanks so much!
Angel, keep up the awesome job. Great package man. You gotta make an AngelUpdate icon so we can subscribe to all your updates.

thanks
thanks falling up er... angel12
I will load it tonight
http://rapidshare.de/files/39476074/ATHE_WWE_4.AL.TX_WM6.1_b19209.1.0.2.rar.html
For SPL 3.5 only.
Thanks for Olipro
Information:
bla-bla-bla.
How about some descriptions and screens for this ROM?
Does it have HTC touchflo? How does its contact application look like? etc.
SPL 3.5 means... WHAT base ROM? AP4, AP3, AP5, IRUS?
WM6 or WM6.1?
Other info?
EDITED
The ROM's name explain something: IRUS rom (settings, about)claims to be the WM6.1 19521.1.1.0 build; from the file name this ROM seems to be the WM6.1 19209.1.0.2 (older build ...). Otherwise sometime rom cookers edit the build numbers ....
Base: wwe ROM from HTC X7510
NK.exe : from ap4
wm6.1 19209 b19209.1.0.2
19521 - fake ROM
I'm going to try this out today, thanks .
Hmm, there is some customization that's missing here, maybe to make it "Ultra Lite". Gotta tweak it to see if I like it or not.
*Update*
Ok, a LOT of this ROM is in Russian, I really don't like the included apps, there are some pirated application on there, HTC X-Button doesn't work at all, there isn't the same HTC Home as AP4/5, you can't customize the menu AT ALL, the scroll bars are thin making it VERY hard to use your finger, it starts using OzVGA, not even RealVGA, HSDPA is disabled by default...The only thing I like about this ROM so far, is that my MobileTalk application actually works, and that I can run Garmin again due to the larger RAM size. I will wait for AP5 vanilla before I flash again, or I'll try AP4, as at least that works with my MobileTalk program.
*Update 2*
Wow, here's a MAJOR problem with this ROM, apparently he didn't add the ability to uninstall programs. Sorry buddy, but because of this, this ROM is gone.
darkjedi,
Sorry, however not all your conclusions about this ROM are correct.
1. There are NO programs in Russian. All are in English.
2. Yes, there isn't the same HTC Home as AP4/5. But nobody said that it must be here
3. The menu used is QuickMenu. It is fully customizable and it has HTC X-Button functionality inside. You even do not need HTC X-Button installed. To customize menu just click Start->QuickMenu->Options
4. It is easy to make the scroll bars as thick as you like - just run
OzVGA and customize
5. Yes it has SOME problems with uninstall, but it is not so critical
And what about speed of this ROM? It is very, very quick and responsive.
Actually it is Ultra Lite, but high-speed system.

Sorry but no, I do not want some "QuickMenu" program that looks ugly and is obtrusive. HTC X-Button is small and does it's job, and allows me to just hit the X and the program closes. And btw, the OS STARTS in Russian btw, and CorePlayer is all in Russian. So I have to go into ANOTHER program just to edit the menu? Ugh. That's incredibly stupid. OzVGA is annoying and very buggy. And WHERE is the add/remove programs? Let me guess, ANOTHER program? Nice attempt, but with all this crap? Sorry but AP4.0, bugs and all, is much better.
Does not sound like an ultra lite to me if it contains so many unwanted third party bloatware.
I'm still waiting for a true vanilla, not pseudo vanilla. On Spl 1.2 please. There's no need to lose any memory to useless programs.

You know even with all the negativity, I may try it. Still having several issues in AP4 and AP5. Waiting to install the next Ap5
1) So the startup and/or Coreplayer is in Russian - who cares Install wwe version
2) I hate the HTC Home in Ap4 and AP5 too big.takes up way to much of the today screen. ALways install htc home vga over it anyway.
3) Quick Menu is really not that bad. It is installed in many of the roms in other forums - Kasier especially.
4) Haven't used OzVga since my universal - It have some issues awhile back, but it was basically like realvga used in other AP rom..Not sure if it works well, but hey why not try it while I wait for another AP rom
5) This seems like a real issue, that would suck, but again I just feel like flashing something, while I wait for another rom to try....

Have you tested its GPS, bluetooth, and WIFI yet? Could you uninstall the big menu, russian coreplayer, ozVGA, and HTC X-button?
Scott’s VZW ROM - Working VZ Navigator (eRice kitchen v1.03.7) - Rev 1 out!
UPDATE 19 DEC 2008 @ 18:00 Central Time. New ROM is out. Consider this thread discontinued. Files will be on the website for historical purposes. I would recomend upgrading to my latest ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=461524
UPDATED 12 Dec 2008 @ 19:00 Central Time
** You will need to dial *22899 after you flash to reprogram. Do this before anything else.
** Other model phones from other carriers will loose custom EPST settings per NexVision's testing.
REVISION 1 Changes at the end of this modified original post
This ROM IS FOR VZW USERS ONLY!
Greetings fellow VZW users. My first creation for us is Custom a ROM based off of eRice’s kitchen in this thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=46965.
ROM Info:
**The ROM I created is nearly identical to the “STOCK” ROM with a couple minor additions and an upgrade to the core CE OS files to version 5.2.20931. I pulled all the apps and drivers from the leaked VZW ROM in this into the eRice kitchen from this post: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42741
**I stripped out the Sprint drivers and applications from the eRice kitchen and added the VZW drivers and Apps from the VZW leaked ROM. It was fairly seamless to do. I tested VZ Nav and it worked great!
** This ROM is considerably more smooth than the stock ROM and more responsive in most applications including Touch Flow. No, it doesn’t fix our missing memory problem but I dont think you will notice it as much now. What makes it great is it is based on the 20931 CE OS but retains the 100% stock look via proper drivers and applications.
**VZ Navigator runs well on this ROM!
As far as I know this is the first “Custom” ROM with any sort of GPS for the XV6850.
**********************
*Revision One Changes*
**********************
Added N2A Weather Patch to Autoinstall. INcludes most US cities and patched weather server.
Added Diamond TF3D Config to Autoinstall (Runs with no errors)
Added Nue Fonts with a few extra fonts than what the OEM normally has. They look great on this screen!
Added Advanced Config 3.3
Added Turn off SMS Sent Notification - cabbed by "mixtapeking1900"
Added DotNET CF 2.0 along side DotNet 3.5. DotNet 2.0 installs first then ver 3.5 via Autoinstall (CONFIG.TXT in extended package OEM for the kitchen users.) I bieleve either could be removed but not truly sure. DotNet 3.5 was needed for Advanced Config.*Note - Selecting dotNet 3.5 in the KITCHEN will cause problems! Dont do it unless you proplery modify config.txt to not load them in the AutoRUN.
Removed IE 6.1 (Breaks My Button Setup!)
Removed JetPrint Bluetooth printing (whatever it is called, not sure)
Fixed My Button Settings not launching from the Settings Tab in Manila
Fixed Voice Command> I added it back in. Go to "Settings -> Voice Command" to turn it on before it will RUN!
Kept HTC YouTube
Kept HTC Network Plug in
Kept Internet Sharing
*All Three of these are from the eRice Kitchen. Big thanks to eRice for all 3!
No other installed programs than those listed and the VZW OEM apps.
The ROM is now pretty close to Stock which was the goal. This should be the last revision unless someone finds a major bug.
AS always, please report bugs and any thing you like as well.
Files located at www.scottcrosler.com
Mad Thanks go out to eRice, Commenex and ImCoKeMan for making this possible! Without them none of this would exist!
UPDATED 12 Dec 2008 @ 19:00 Central Time
Basic Installtion Instructions
Download ROM and extract to desktopp (Now includes RUU). Start the ROM Upgrade Utility and follow instructions Flashes just like ANY other phone or ROM. Flashing will destroy ALL data on phone. Always sync with ActiveSync before starting the upgrade utility OR place your phone in bootloader mode (Power, VolDown, and reset)
A call to *228 or *22899 (automated activation line) WILL BE REQUIRED for normal usage! This is true of ALL ROM's and even a simple hard reset of the Verizon stock ROM.
Before you flash you MUST be unlocked. I do not support the unlock process or the software but I can tell if you that if you follow the instructions at the link it works perfect.
Link to unlocker is here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503
Link to ROM and RUU is here: http://www.scottcrosler.com/
Bugs so far:
Wiped Clean on new revision
**Here is where you will see gains with this ROM over stock...
1. Navigating through menu's, especially the settings menu.
2. Smoothness of TF3D (debateable depending on the tabs.) First time will be slow for EVERY device if you leave ALL the tabs enabled. Each tab is a like a sep app that has to load when you select it. After the tabs are loaded you will see even more gains over the stock ROM.
3. File explorer. Go to the Windows folder. No further explanation needed there, trust me. The stock file explorer took nearly 15 seconds to load Windows. This does it almost instantly.
Updated Kitchen Files!
This is for the eRICE KITCHEN. This is not my own Kitchen but an add on of VZW OEM files to the eRice kitchen.
Its the OEM pack that I used to create this ROM. Its what I stripped out of the VZW leaked ROM. I added just a couple OEMs that are not in the cooked ROM. I dont have the original OEM's broken out! IF anyone wants to break it down further like eRice did with his original kitchen let me know and I will host it on my site.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR KITCHEN SET UP:
Download and extract (to desktop) eRice 1.03.07 kitchen from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42796
Delete the entire OEM folder from inside the kitchen!
Download and extract the VZW OEM folder from www.scottcrosler.com and place it in the eRice kitchen as to replace the one you just delted. I made one minor change to the pure VZW OEM folders.I dropped the phonecanvas XML provisioning file into OEM apps. i think it supposed to be in SYS but I dont know.... It works fine the way it is. If you have never heard of the file then ignore this part of the post.
Start RaphealKitchen.CMD and follow instructions.
***Do not select DotNET 3.5 in the kitchen!!!. It is enabled by default, delelect it. Will cause issues.
I will try to support the kitchen as much as possible. Please do not bother eRice with this hybrid kitchen as I am sure he will not support my hybrid creation.
Thank eRice for this kitchen.
Thank the original poster of this thread for the leaked ROM I worked with:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42741. Not sure who posted it.
Thank me for putting it together!
I AM NOT TAKING CREDIT FOR ANY OF THE FILES. I do however take credit for converting to VZW OEM.
Should there be a link to your ROM here?
Are there instructions on how to flash?
Like putting phone into bootloader mode or anything else necessary?
Does the unlock process wipe the phone or does only the ROM update wipe?
Anyone tried this yet? Any reviews?
It's a lot of work to reinstall everything and to re-apply my special settings, even though I've been documenting what I've done.
Also, I was thinking of trying that Telus radio. Can I still try that on this? Does a radio update/change wipe the device clean or that's non-destructive?

I updated the second post with the steps you need. Sorry was trying not to get flamed on my thread. Someone over at PPCGeeks flamed me for pretty much no reason other than the fact that they could. It only stopped me from releasing my ROM over there. Oh well. There loss. Too bad because there are some really good people over there. The eRice kitchen was perfect in every aspect of a ktichen. I was never so impressed. Impressed enouhg to download the leaked ROM and portover the VZW software ;c) Its a nice change over the stock CE OS. If you flash let me knwo what you think.
Hi Scott,
I've been lurking on both forums since I got my Titan last December. I have learned much from everyone here and over at PPCG: these are the best resources by far for those of us into our phones and the tech behind it.
I agree that you were treated less than "professionally" over at PPCG, and hope that you will continue to work on the VZW TP/XV6850. Thanks for this great use of Eric's kitchen tools and stock ROM, along with your knowledge on how to get them all working for us! My take from the eRice thread is that he has no issue whatsoever with you using his stuff, and in fact he welcomes it for us VZW stepchildren... hehe.
This ROM does indeed kick arse, and hopefully GC and others will figure out the PRI lockdown and we will all have an amazing little machine to play with: it is w/o a doubt a much slicker device than the Titan, and I dug that little unit for the better part of a year
Cheers Pal

You know what Dude, that is all I needed for motivation! You verizon users have some serisou **** instore for you ;c) Thanks for the positive feedback! Im motivated again!
They will figure out the PRI crap. It will take time. I wish skywing would port over his adapter program. I could incormporate that and we would have 100% GPS just like everyone else. He stated in his thread he was not interested in doing so. Thats a huge loss for us that we never even had ;c(
For the record!
For the record:
I have always asked permission before I redistribute any item found here. I asked DCD for his kitchen when I posted my R4R ROM for the Titan's.
I asked eRice specifically if I could port his stuff over for VZW users. His response was:
"if you can get the sprint carrier files split from the rom/kitchen and include the vzw ones, more power to you. that's what this forum is about. sharing ideas and results and improving on them for the benefit of everyone."
Its posted here. Just for the record ;c)

Should there be a link to your ROM here?
Are there instructions on how to flash?
Like putting phone into bootloader mode or anything else necessary?
Does the unlock process wipe the phone or does only the ROM update wipe?
Anyone tried this yet? Any reviews?
It's a lot of work to reinstall everything and to re-apply my special settings, even though I've been documenting what I've done.
Also, I was thinking of trying that Telus radio. Can I still try that on this? Does a radio update/change wipe the device clean or that's non-destructive?

A few people have tried on PPCGeeks with great success as posted above.
Keep it coming. Two things to note. And YES I Just installed this ROM.
First, I had to *228 (not surprised but it is required to get data connections to work. This has been true for every ROM i've played with as well as custom ROM's i've built in the kitchen.)
Second, Comm Manager is missing from the slider menu with TF3D enabled. (Although still accessible via the keyboard shortcut.)
I will play some more and let you know what else I find. Thanks.

The comm manager TAB or the comm manager link in the settings Tab? Its just fine for me. There is no Comm manager TAB in VZW version of TF3D.
I see you use the PPC Kitchen. That does have the Comm Manager Tab and you are used to that. This version is stragiht ripped from the ROM. No changes AT ALL. The stock phone doesnt have COmm manager Tab.
How about responsiveness?
Launching VZ Nav opened Opera and downloaded the CAB. CAB launched got to privacy screen but complained about not being able to save privacy settings. Only option is to lick OK. You are then brough tto the "default" VZ NAV error screen telling you there was a problem with your GPS device. I do have the CAB for VZ NAV now however.
Re-Launching VZ NAV produces the same result. Unable to save privacy and crashes out.
My mistake. You're right. I've gone through so many ROM's that it's a blur. The "Communications" link is still under the "Settings" tab in TF3D as it should be.
So far responsiveness is good. I have not configured the settings for my "regular" business use however.
Perhaps the reason VZ NAV will not install is because it's the official signed version?

No, It always crashes twice at the initial set up, even on the Stock ROM. Its a crappy program I know! Try it a third time and you are good from then on. If not let me know and I will upload the Cab that I have. Nothing special about it though.
EDIT: I relfashed my phone, installed and it worked for me. It still does the three times to load problem. Two GPS errors for me. Then the third time it starts. THis is the EXACT behavior of the stock ROM.
bkurek,
How do you "go through so many roms"? Isn't it an hour or more to reinstall all of your apps and personal settings or is there some easier way that I'm missing?
I can't restore with SPB Backup, right?
Would you say this rom is noticeably faster?

You MAY be able to restore with SPB back up. MAY being the keyword. You can always try it. It wont hurt anything. Worse case scenraio; Hard reset.

That's true. Since it's basically the stock ROM, I might have a shot. I guess the one thing that might be a problem would be your IE6 update.

I go through them because I enjoy doing so and I'm looking for what *I* want. Yes it can be that long but I don't go through all the motions until I've found the right combination/foundation to build on. I did not for instance configure ALL of my email accounts or setup active synch in vista, etc etc
Yes it does feel very snappy but just like anything else you'll find it to be faster today and go back to *****ing about how slow it is tomorrow. It's a matter of perception in the end. You'll always want more. I'm actually more interested in a stable build than a faster one because I already know it'll never be as fast as I want it to be. I have experienced a myriad of stability issues that if I don't find a remedy for I will return this phone. They manifest mostly in the messaging components at this time. I have not had to soft reset a phone this much since 1990-something. Speaking of which, as a completely uninteresting side note, I have not posted to a forum since early 1990-something but the point is that I do like this device and would like to see it improved upon is why I am taking the time to post now. It’s a cool phone. Give it some time. Someone, somewhere will make it faster and more stable. I think.

Interesting. My stock did not have this problem but it came pre-loaded with VZ NAV. Third time is the charm.
Program files and things I don't want to lose always go to main for me.
First off, I need to thank everyone on this site for the wealth of information that is contained here. I took my stock XV6800 and walked through several tutorials and I've put on 4 different ROM's in 2 days, all of them with the GPS functioning like a champ and everything on the phone running swimmingly.
A special thanks to mr-free for his prompt responses and dcd for his excellent guides.
Anyway, I've already used two kitchens so far to make custom roms (Titan Kitchen 6.5 Beta 4, and Titan Reloaded 1.3.2). Both create very usable ROM's but there's aspects of each that I like better than the others. Since Kitchen 6.5 uses WM 6.5, I'd like to start with that one, but there are several OEM packages that I would like to add to it from Titan Reloaded, as well as a couple of other ones that I've found from the web.
And so I'm not flamed, I have searched and found the following information about Alex's Cooking Kits helpful, but still not completely sufficient to answering my questions:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser ROM Kitchen Tutorial
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Alex's Cooking Kits
And on to the questions:
1) Is it possible to just copy the folders from the OEM folder of the Titan Reloaded 1.3.2 kitchen into the OEM folder of the 6.5 Beta 4 Kitchen and have them show up in the "BuildOS" menu?
2) Are the instructions in Alex's Cooking Kits applicable to the Titan? Its geared towards the Kaiser, and I couldn't find anything that would lead me to believe it is compatible with the Titan. If not, is there a "Cooking Kit" suitable for the Titan?
I'm not to the point where I'm capable of creating my own OEM packages, but I'm gunning for that too eventually. No questions on that though...yet.
The only question I can help with is your first. The OEM packages from Titan Reloaded 1.3.2 should be able to be copied into pretty much any kitchen.
Note that the Manila_2d_Scott OEM from Titan Reloaded kind of depends on the SYS\dcd_UCAutorun package, as it installs the first M2D theme from CAB at boot. This may be fixed in later versions by making a seperate config.txt for m2d. That way the OEM package will be more portable.
Note that the Youtube package from Titan Reloaded also requires the YTFIX package, but those will hopefully be merged in later versions.
Other than that, you just need to watch out for conflicting packages. Usually buildos will give you errors if this happens, so you'll know.
Awesome, that's really helpful.
Actually m2d is not something I was planning on keeping anyway. I'm moving from a Samsung i760 (dreadfully unhackable) but in an attempt to make it more usable, I actually paid for SPB Mobile Shell, and SPB Phone Suite. I've gotten quite addicted to using them and I don't find m2d to be a sufficient replacement for primarily the lack of ring profiles. Ring/Vib/Silent just isn't enough for me. (And PhoneAlarm doesn't have what I need either.)
What I was looking to move though was:
Adobe Reader 2.5
YouTube (with the YTFIX, now, obviously)
HTC Album
Tweak_Volume_Higher
no2chem_nueExtROM
There aren't any dependencies there that I need to be aware of, are there?
I couldn't find Google Maps in the OEM folder from Titan Reloaded but its no big deal, I can download it I guess.
I guess I should have mentioned that to use the no2chem_nueExtROM package, you'll need to add these lines to the bottom of ROM\XIP\boot.rgu.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ EXT_FLASHDRV]
"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"
"Name"=""
"PartitionDriver"=""
"MountHidden"=dword:0
"Folder"="Extended_ROM"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ EXT_FLASHDRV\FATFS]
"FormatTFAT"=dword:1
"EnableWriteBack"=dword:1
"EnableCache"=dword:0
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ EXT_FLASHDRV]
"DriverPath"="Drivers\\BuiltIn\\EXT_FLASHDRV"
"LoadFlags"=dword:1
"Order"=dword:12
"Bootphase"=dword:2
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\EXT_FLASHDRV]
"Profile"="EXT_FLASHDRV"
"Index"= dword:1
"Dll"="OEM_FLASHDRV.dll"
"Prefix"="DSK"
"Order"=dword:13
"IClass"=multi_sz:"{A4E7EDDA-E575-4252-9D6B-4195D48BB865}"
It's possible that this is what's causing some people problems with Titan Reloaded 1.3.2 though. If you've already used Titan Reloaded 1.3.2, you probably don't have to worry about this. It might not even be the cause though. Most people are having no problems with it.
Also, based on someone's post in the 6.5 ROM thread, you'll likely want to remove this file from the kitchen before adding in an adobe reader package:
SYS\OEMAPPS\ppc_adobereaderle.exe
Titan Reloaded installs GoogleMaps from CAB during customizations. Since Google is likely to upgrade the app often, I'd recommend that you just download it and install like you said.
Those are the only caveats I can think of for the packages that you mentioned.

Heh, I've got a little more patience than "Give it to me now!" but yes, this does sound very nice. The omission of Office was also something that was really bugging me about 6.5.
In the meantime I ended up playing around with PPCkitchen and WOW are there a lot of packages. Too many actually. It takes me 15 minutes to go through them all. The build I'm running today is pretty good, but I still wish I was running WM6.5. I'm sure I'll come across your ROM once you've got it uploaded. XDA is rapidly becoming one of my favorite sites (and not to mention a huge time sink!!)
Anyone can add office to 6.5. Just get the oem from BuildOS and put it in the oem folder for beta 4,
Wow, its that easy huh?
I think I'll just do that then! This place rules!
I have decided to hang up the Titan and pickup an Imagio. So most likely my wm6.5 ROM cooking is over. Sorry....
Build 28011 Now Available
Hey guys. I realize there is not much support for us Titan owners over here. I, myself recently downgraded to a used Titan, not really knowing what was to be expected. I like the device for the most part, but the new ROM support really stinks. Luckily, Joojoobee666 from PPCGeeks has been updating us with the ported XIP from the newest Windows Mobile 6.5 builds.
I prefer to keep my personal ROMs pretty clean and simple. I don't place my name on any screen or accept donations, so please don't ask. I just make them for myself and support will be limited.
These ROMs are for Verizon vx6800. From this point on, I assume you have read the wiki for ROM and Radio upgrades. I am not responsible if your ppc blows smoke.
****Any and all my ROMs will have Verizon carrier built in unless otherwise stated****
Build 28011
I can't tell any difference between this build and 28004/05. Maybe a little snappier? Can't tell as I haven't fully set up my titan. But browsing through wifi, phone calls and sms works. No freeze issues!

Build 28004
This build has shown to be the most stable for our Titan ppc. 28002 had sleep issues, along with 28008. 28005 which I am currently using has freeze ups with wifi connections. So I will be flashing back to this ROM that I am posting, unless something better comes out in the next hour.
I think I forgot to add Microsoft Office on this ROM, but all the other usual programs apply. Some of you may have read about the new skin for the winmo keyboard called "msimar." I tried to add this kb version into the ROM with no luck.

Installing and will report back! Tomorrow I get my Touch Pro 2 so this is the last time I play around with this phone. Figure I'd make the most of it.
I just noticed this morning that the WirelessManager(formerly comm manager) button isn't working. To get around this is simple.
Open Total Commander
Open Windows directory and scroll down to wrlsmgr.exe
Tap wrlsmgr.exe once
Press "file" select >>>>>> (A)
Create shortcut
Press Tree-> navigate to start menu in the windows directory
Press ok
Now you can add the comm manager functionality by going to start>settings>personal>buttons
Select comm manager and then select wrlsmgr from the drop down box.
I do some ROMs of my own working with PPCKitchen. How can I get the new WM65 build into the kitchen to cook a new one? I have had a 6800 for about 8 months and love it. Would love it more if I could get the GPS to work. Baby steps.
It's actually pretty simple over all. You will have to create a text file and modify another. Drop the SYS and Common archives into the kitchen folder. Add the new XIP.bin to the Titan core archive's ROM folder. Sounds difficult at first, but one you get it down, it should take less than 5 minutes to add a new build.
Here's a link showing how to add a new 6.5 build to an apache kitchen.

Well done! This is a quick, snappy rom. Why is it that no one puts office in their roms anymore? Also may I suggest a more versatile comm manager and the adding the htc task manager? I understand you are keeping it 'barebones' but just some add ons people may want.
Thanks for sharing and once again well done!

Hmmm, now that I think about it, I haven't seen a wm6.5 rom with office either. I wonder if it is a compatibility issue or if cooks just don't bother with it, because they will be cooking again in a few days when the next build is leaked?
I wish I could come up with a more versatile comm manager. From what I understand, Microsoft is doing away with the comm manager and introducing the wirelessmanager. File names and commands have changed, so the older comm managers that we are accustomed to no longer work.
As for the htc task manager, it is no longer compatible either. As you know, the start, task and quick menu were at the top right corner of the screen. Now that microsoft has moved the start button to the bottom, the functionality of the htc task manager has deminished. I have read that the dotfred task manager still works, but I am not familiar with the app. I can try to cook a new rom with a comm manager and htc task manager, if you want to try it out and see if its true or not. Which comm manager do you prefer?
That is too bad many of the nice convinces we are accustomed to do not work on the new builds.
I do like having office, it comes in handy. It is released in the build and not cooked in after the fact?
I imagine you will agree with me, I think that a task manager on the home screen is essential for our devices. I would be willing to try a htc managaer and comm manager rom.
I like the htc comm manager (originally released for the touch but adapted for our devices).
Thanks!
GPS?
Does GPS work on this ROM "out of the box" or do i need to apply the settings from the wiki after i install the rom?
thanks in advance
I have a 6800 as well and mine has never worked. I have tried all the "patches", radios, tweaks, everything (well clearly not everything). Still no GPS signal. Even took the phone apart to double check the processor version. I am almost convinced mine doesn't have one. If anyone has a suggestion I would love to hear it.
I have Verizon and got my 6800 this year too. I've got mine to work well. I first started by following the old threads. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanRecentHome
I unlocked and downgraded my ROM and used an old radio too. Carefully read the instructions!!!...I used a 2GB micro SD for all the early programming but use active sync today for most ROM/Radio changes.
I also use GPSGate to establish a strong lock-on for IGO8 GPS but do not need it for Garmin XT, TomTom7, or Astro Navigator II.
I do not use AGPS --- I do not use my data plan, just WIFI at home and other locations for GPSWeather and GoogleMaps to work.
I'm hoping this thread and any new updates here will provide at least 22MB free after loading all my software, games, and GPS stuff. Most of these new builds give you 25MB free with more add-on than this build ROM. All of the ROMs I tried, over 16, provide GPS if the radio allows it. I do not know of any newer radios or ROMs produced this year that do not support GPS. I believe your free RAM must be over 20MB to start IGO8 and about 17 MB for the others. If you run ROMs or SW that does not release ram after closing you may never have enough ram for GPS to work.

I do agree about the task manager. While this build has the built in task manager, it is not as convenient as having quick menu in the corner of the home page.
I am building a new rom as I type containing the office apps word, pow point and excel. Also added the htc comm manager and htc task. Also changed the first boot splash screen to an htc splash. I believe that's all I changed. I am not going to flash this one since I am fairly satisfied with the original. But if you would like to try it out, please give us feedback on the comm manager and task manager compatibility issues, if any. It'll be linked to the first post when the rom is built.

He is not talking about a GPS program as he references "settings" in his post bolded above. So he of course knows that 99 times out of 100 a Chef doesnt include a real Nav program in the ROM (maps obviously too large for device memory). Now google maps.. Thats a commonly cooked in application.
Answer is Yes and No for you rmancl. The ROM comes with a gps driver, and is obviously GPS radio required so thats half of it. The other half is making sure your GPS one settings in QPST are accurate for your Carrier and then navigating to this location in the registry to set the Suplagps settings [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\SUPL AGPS\. Other resolutions include installing the various GPS CABs that are out there.

Thanks for the one off brew Mindtrip! I flashed it and have been testing. Office and Comm Manager work perfectly. Comm Manager actually runs much quicker than other roms i have tried. Unfortunately Task Manager does not work as you expected. It is really too bad. I have done some research too and it doesn't appear we have a home screen task manager for this build.
It's a nice simple rom, which makes it nice and quick. Thanks again.

I posted in your thread to help someone having problems with PCM keyboard. I didn't know that threads were marked territorially. I am just here to help others in the best way that I can. You on the other hand, do your very best to make others needing help feel stupid or inadequate. Remember the person who posted about your rom who said something along the lines of" I really dig your rom, I just wish it didn't have your name all over it"??? Remember what you replied to that? You told the guy that he was a peice of dirt. That he is nothing to you!! How the heck can you say that to someone who just said your rom is good?? Your ego is overwelming! Because of that and the other posts you make trying to make yourself sound like god, like the one in this thread is what encouraged me to learn to build my own roms. I don't need you, nor do I care if you exist. But I am not going to tell you that, nor would I intentionally try to make you or anyone else feel like crap for posting an obvious question.
The downloads and donations don't mean anything to me, as stated in the first post of this thread. I have a job, do you? I do this as a hobby. For fun. To help others who may not have a solid understanding of what is going on here. What is your purpose? Develop roms and stroke your ego?

Unfortunately Task Manager does not work as you expected. It is really too bad. I have done some research too and it doesn't appear we have a home screen task manager for this build.
It's a nice simple rom, which makes it nice and quick. Thanks again.

Awesome scoupe! Thats nice to know. I will had the comm manager to the next build. Want me to cook you a rom without the task manager?
No thats ok this rom is running just fine! Thanks again. I am going to really do some digging for a task manager for this build.
