I was searching for it,thanks for posting it.
how is this rom compared to tom's 2.06 (tf3d 2.1) rom?
for me tom's 2.06 is the best from regular (not m2.5) roms, everything works good, very stable, pretty fast and no bugs at all.
the main difference is 2.06 vs 2.08, this can be felt in some way?
anyone tried them both & can compare?
10x.

I've tried both. I like Tom's ROM and used it for some time but the Facebook integration always caused Touchflo to restart for me, this doesn't happen on Dutty's.
Therefore I prefer Dutty's Had no crashes, very stable and a few other tweaks I like.
Downside is having to add a lot of CAB's to get the look that I want but this is down to a. my personal preference and b. my inability to make things myself!
Hi do anybody know how to change to 3 rows instead of 4 rows for dutty rom? Tried tom's cab but it doesn't work. Screw up the start menu display.

On the other hand, installing a new keyboard is about the easiest thing you can do. Ezinput, FingerKeyboard or others...
Well worth it if you're otherwise happy with the ROM. I've never ever had a custom ROM that's been exactly the way I like it. But I don't complain about it, I fix it.
i would like to switch off "vibrate when keys are pressed", but i can't find the setting?!
some one please explain difference between MSVC and non MSVC versions
i tried to search but found its something with linux or c++ i don't know any of them how this difference seen to user?
all previous roms are with or without MSVC?
MSVC is Microsoft Voice Command (or Control ?) which gives you the abilty to operate your phone by voice commands.

You are right about that one
Anyway how about Page rotation on this Rom?It's just for me or there is nothing like that ever there?
I don't like the new Acrobat reader,you can't view pages completely as full screen,I'm sure Dutty will take care of these few things pretty soon.
Is this bug with weak signal indication? I can see no more than 2 bars.
I read about similar problem with udK's Leo ROM. And there was problem with icons file, as I can remember.
With udK's R6 and Shadowlines 6.5 Stable there was no signal strength problems (radio the same).
And thanks for great ROM. I think, that you must name it R1, not R0. It is solid and fast.

Just install the attached fix (official from HTC), it will improve the signal indication.
Extract and run the exe from SD card => soft reset => enjoy

OK, thanks. It works.
Hope, this fix will be included into new release.
I am on Tmobile and live in Lincolnshire, so have never enjoyued great signals. However, I genuinely think that this ROM is brilliant. I have yet to come across a bug.
If I'm being a picky arse, I would like the Wireless to be on demand, but this is being picky.
I think this ROM is very fast indeed and this mythical beast, 'dutty', has got a new fan...Excellent
I have been using udK's R6 before but now tried this one.
Good experience. The hotfix fixed the signalbar thing.
Don't like the File explorer ex version though.
The wifi seems to stay on all the time and does not automatically disconnect when not in use, even tough it is set up that way. Anyone got this too? Drains the battery pretty fast....
sms notification doesn't seem to work in stand by either...

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....

Best ROM
This ROM works practically without problems. And very fast.
On speed and reliability it the best of all for Athena.
And Russian? It I would learn only that it talked Lenin. (V.V.Mayakovsky)

Does it have HTC Touchflo and the new Contact Applications ? Is the speed as fast as the WM6.0 stock ROM?
Have you tested its GPS, bluetooth, and WIFI yet? Could you uninstall the big menu, russian coreplayer, ozVGA, and HTC X-button?
There are so many Athena roms that it can be a little daunting trying to figure out which ones to try. Although the surest way to know the rom that is best for you is to try it out, it would be helpful to the community to get some feedback on how the different roms compare from those that have tried them out.
I myself have stuck with Irus' Ultra Vanilla because of its great speed and stability but am curious if there are other roms that equal its speed and stability.
Looking forward to hearing your experiences.
Thanks,
A.
I am using sogarth base rom now, with some tweaks.
Net CF3.5 installed (modaco cab suite), Diamond tweaks for speed, disabled HTCSENSOR (ATHENA) and GSEN installed, moblue and jetware extension to solve ANY BT problem. Wtask to improve the task control, much better than HTC Xbutton
I am using it in 192 DPI, easy to use with fingers (first time in my Athena owner life I've lost my stylus, because I used somewhere, not needed for 2 days and discovered it missed too late )
Opera, IE and the VGA applications are working fine Tom Tom is fast, NO HANGUPS at all!
The fastest GPS Fix ever seen in my ATHENA. Radio 1.58 , I have to test if it works but this ROM support HSDPA AND HSUPA
I tested all the ROMs here, excepted latest Michyprima and Irus/Sogarth Vanilla.
TO me the answer is simple: I can't live without rotations sensor, FAST now, faster than Diamond and rotate only when and what needed. Face down screen off means longer battery life.
The choice is Sogarth base or Sogarth/Irus Vanilla? I am happy now with base..

you'll need a registry editor...
and do the this: This is where I went and changed from "1" to "0": HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCSensor\GSensor\DeviceAvailabi lity=0
softreset your phone then install GSen, run it and you're all good to go.
to get the screen off when you turn down your phone: in GSen CFG at the bottom line "#fdscreenoff(0)", change the "0" to "1" save it and turn your phone down and see if the screen turns off.

That is such a true statement, I reverted back to the Sogarth base too because I like the rotate and some of the other programs that were removed in the vanilla. I also installed the .net 3.5 and just like Lennie I am also using radio 1.57
The only ROM that I have not tried is the AP4, AP5, and the MiChY 1.60 ROM.
I loved the Sogarth/irus base ROM, but the vanilla is even better. Everything removed can be put back to get back the base ROM but why take in stuffs that you'll never ever use? The less bloated it is, the faster the ROM will run. Takes less time to backup and restore are among the other benefits. I'm now trying out the 0 page pool version. I love it just as much.
This is also the only ROM that let's me put in my own splash screen for the soft reset. Irus has removed the animate.gif file and the associated sound. So if I like it the way it is in the base ROM, I simply copy them back from the extra folder. If I want to change it, simply design my own and give them the same file names and copy to the windows directory.
This is letting me to be the cook without having to learn how to cook!

question about net cf 3.5. Did you successfully install it with Sogarth vanilla rom? I am getting error message of not enough storage room. When reading at Modaco site, error seems to occur when an active process blocks the installation. I am not seeing anything in Sogarth vanilla rom that is creating a blockage. Any advice? Thanks!
I just saw that net cf 3.5 is in vanilla rom. Never mind...
Eaglesteve,
I just tried the Sogarth/Irus vanilla but found that it was sluggish when compared to Irus' Ultra Vanilla and so I have now returned to that one. Is there any other reason besides the speed that I should consider giving Sogarth/Irus vanilla another run (I am not particularly interested in the auto screen rotate)?
Thanks,

I'm surprised with your finding regarding speed because I had the opposite experience. I had found the irus ultra vanilla sluggish, that's why I did'nt use it.
Besides speed, the Sogarth Vanilla is of newer built. It's not just having auto totate. Many programs look and work in improved manner. Example is the contact application. The vanilla also is the least bloated, as irus has removed almost every non core applications, but let you put them back should you choose to do so. That's why its faster I guess. Backup and restore for example is faster. Lastly, it is also more stable, with almost no bugs.
apap, I would recommend trying irus's 0MB page pool version. To me it seems quite a bit speedier than the sogarth/irus rom, right there on par with the ultra vanilla IMO.
I am currently using the sograth/irus base 6.1 rom with radio 1.58.00 and I am very happy with the performance/stability. (No tweaks currently).
Cheers

Thanks to all the awesome chefs out there!
I am currently running Ryan Moguls build 21501 (With NueKernel High memory)
I have 25mb of ram free at boot, and throughout the day with Activesync Exchange syncing and the hundreds of texts I sometimes get.. It goes as low as 11mb - 12mb.
This rom is stable and fast. I have found a few minor bugs but nothing serious.
I would like to upgrade to a newer build. Can I get some suggestions on the newest most stable version to go with. I use it for work and I'm on call 24X7. So it needs to work reliably. Any suggestions?
After testing a bunch of roms... i like 23017. Does anyone know of a 23017 build with the vogue / touch dialer cooked in?

Here I havent tried it but I am sure it works. Vogue dialer in CAB form. Now this uses its own ResOver/Bitmaps BaseDll. Some carriers on custom ROMs work best when using a specific one. For example Cricket works best when using the Override_VZW.dll. So if anything funny happens with anyone that tries this you may need to re-assign your original BaseDll. Here is the registry location to backup. With the value names.
HKLM\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps
BaseDll
BaseId
FuncDll
This is my first attempt at cooking a ROM, driven by the desire to fix the HTC messaging application. Therefore, there may be some imperfections but it works for me! Thanks go out to the OSKitchen and many threads on here about cooking.
This ROM is built from the official 2.53 ROM but with Manila from the Touch Pro 2. Someone decided to write that version of Manila to use the WM messaging with the Sense 2.1 style messaging interface Arcsoft MMS is cooked in for MMS functionality. The SMSRetry service is included so messages can sent without coverage with the phone sending when coverage is found.
Pagepool is set at 20MB as this seems to produce a very smooth ROM. Although not cooked in, I've used TD2 Tools 3 to increase file system caches, graphics caches and several other tweaks and it is now very smooth!

Notes:
I would set your radio band from Auto to your regonal settings (GSM 900/1800 3G 900/2100 in UK) as it seems to lower battery use,

This is my first attempt at cooking a ROM, driven by the desire to fix the HTC messaging application. Therefore, there may be some imperfections but it works for me! Thanks go out to the OSKitchen and many threads on here about cooking.

Stock 2.53 ROM has OS 5.2.21887 build, Manila 2.5.20121324.1
Updated with OS and Manila versions.
Thanks BeeGee, your mirror has proved invaluable as HTC, Rapidshare, etc always seems to fail just as I want to download a ROM.
Will try to post some screenshots later (prob tomorrow now) but it really is just stock Windows 6.5 / Manila 2.5 but with 2.1 style messaging (and WM messaging of course). I haven't changed any styling.
Craig
Stock ROM with updated OS and Manila ? Exellent, but official have 21887 bulid , not 21877... Question: Have Manila 2.5.20121331.0 or 2.5.20121324.1 like write in first post ? Have it Recent Document Tab on Manila Home Today ? Because for me docu is very important...
Thanks
Regards

The first post is correct, its 21887 and it has Manila 2.5.20121324.1 BeeGee's post was before I posted the OS and Manila ver.
No, it hasn't got the Document tab i'm afraid.. I think it can be added through a cab though.. [EDIT] Have a read through this.. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Manila%20Tutorial%20Two

Hi Craig,
I have flashed your ROM. It looks good so far. Original Windows Mobile messaging works great.
Otherwise, it looks pretty the same as recently published original HTC ROM with Sense 2.5. There is also missng HTC task manager button on Today's screen. But I have installed attached cab and it is patched now.
In general, it seems to be a good piece of work and great idea to bypass original HTC messaging. I
Many thanks.
Monsoon
Thanks Monsoon78, finally Sense 2.5 on our Topaz is usable!
Yeah, i've installed the task manager is on my device too, quite why they left it out i don't know.. I shall hopefully post some useful cabs this evening (as well as some screenshots!).
Craig
I'm using a french HTC 6.5 sense 2.5 rom, have you a fix for MS SMS and T9 ?
No, I'm afraid it had to be cooked into the rom. I don't think it can be made into a cab.
I haven't worked out the T9 words issue yet..
Craig
I was looking for a stock Rom with WM messaging for a long time I was considering to cook one but time isn't too much
Many many thanks craiglay
Interesting issue, My service provider, O2 UK was blocking some of my MMS being sent to my phone, giving me a message that I cannot receive that type of MMS. Turns out this is a size issue, I could send / receive small MMS!
Turns out this is due to my provider not recognising my phone and sending it as basic as possible (compatibility mode) Quote: Here from O2 Forum
A Google search shows that setting it to an N95 seems to fix it. Quote: Here, with solution
So, in a registry editor:
HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ Arcsoft \ Arcsoft MMS UA \ Config \ mm1 \ WspHeader
User-Agent: NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
x-wap-profile: "http://nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml"
and all is good!!
Craig
Can't believe this thread only has 2 pages. Doesn't everyone using 2.5 currently affected? Is this the best solution craig?
I know, maybe everyone just lives with 2.5 style messaging or the various cab hacks. I also believe several other ROM's have integrated 2.1 messaging (EnergyRom is one I believe) but they are heavily customised to the author. I prefer to start with a pretty standard ROM and customise it to my liking.
Its really just a personal project that I've shared with the community. I customise it further myself.
Regarding the best solution, I don't know. I would prefer the HTC Messaging application over WM messaging but I personally can not live with the lagging. The cab hacks work, but from experience can have notification / SMS bubble issues. The Manila version here has been written (by HTC or OEM) to use WM messaging natively which is what makes it different.
Craig
Hi,
I just wanted to add my experience with Craiglay's ROM. The stability seems to be good. After 5 days of testing, I haven't encountered any major issues except the one, which is common to last official HTC ROM. This ROM has PAGE POOL 20 MB which seems to improve the performance compared to official HTC release. Battery drain is not bad. I am quite addicted to the phone, so one may can achieve even better results. I use lot of email synchronization, RSS channels and have 3G enabled. My battery runs out in about 36 hours. One important remark, I run it with radio 4.49.25.17
With regards to the bugs, as Craiglay has already indicated in the post #1, there is an issue with T9 dictionary, because new words are neither permanently stored in the memory, nor they are inserted into to the text, when you add them manually. This is a bit annoying since you need to retype the word once again and teach the dictionary all the time, when you reboot the device. I wonder if there is any solution for this bug ?
Inspite of this bug, I plan to stay with this ROM.
Thanks.
Radim
Thanks for the review Monsoon78! I run it with Radio 4.49.25.91 which works well.
Unfortunately I have been unable to sort out the T9 issue I've tried a few different versions and the suggestions Here but still looking into it.
I have however an updated ROM with Manila 2012.1412 with Sense 2.1 / WM messaging. It also includes the Document and ereader tabs, no Sprint branding and cool animated rotating effects in Albums and Music.
If testing goes ok over the weekend, i'll upload the ROM soon.

Cool!! Unfortunately I've dropped the eReader, Document tab and Footprints as there were too many issues and battery drain was HUGE!! You could still hack in the tabs if you really want them with the link i posted above.
New Manila 2012.1412 is still there and Photo's and Music cool animation is still in. Will test for a few days and see how it goes.
Sorry for the delay!! Please appreciate I want to release something good with few bugs!

Alee's HTC Titan/XV6800/Mogul ROM - Build 23569
Notes: Your phone must be unlocked. I use Olipro 2.40. You also have to have a GPS radio installed. I use version 3.42.50. Please read up on flashing roms for the Titan if this is your first time. I'm not responsible for you breaking/bricking/making your phone unusable. Use at your own risk!
I will include a Verizon ROM and a Carrierless ROM. Should work with DCD's carrier cabs, but I have no way to test. Please let me know if it works!
6.5.X ROM 23569 - Verizon - Updated 5/23/10

6.5.X ROM 23569 - No Carrier - Updated 5/23/10
http://www.4shared.com/file/pxK7WmZh/ALEE23569NCV2.html
This is a WM6.5 ROM for the Titan. I've started cooking a rom for this device because it seems like other ROMs don't update with new builds too often anymore. This 6.5 ROM is designed to be light and useable everyday.
It has 23MB of free RAM in low memory mode, and about 29MB of free RAM in high memory mode(no camera) while using ActiveSync. It runs stable and has 119MB free memory for programs/files.
In order to save memory and resources, some packages have been removed. This means that not all features are available or will not work with this ROM. If it's not included in the ROM, and somebody asks for the feature, I'll do my best to provide a method to install the features in the future.
This is a work in progress, and it's not for everybody. Some things just don't work, but the things that work run well.
I'm going to try to support this ROM as best as I can, but I'm not a pro at this. Alot of my work has been trial and error and reading through the forums to fix my mistakes. I will probably try to keep up with updates until January of 2011, where I'll be able to get a Touch Pro 2 with Verizon's new every two.
The ROM generated thanks to the PPCKitchen.org project. I think it's a great utility that helps a normal person like me cook a custom ROM. Feel free to give their utility a try if you want to cook your own ROM.
Additionally, thanks to all the developers who have publicly provided fixes/patches/updates/programs to the Titan world. Most are long gone and have moved on to better phones, but I wouldn't still be using my XV6800 without their work.

hi alex,
nice to know theres any update ROM for Mogul.
I'll try it
thanks
gonna test it out. Sounds good though. Thanks
New Version
Updated the ROM today. I cleaned up the Titanium registry entries and it seems to have made the Titanium screen snappier and smoother. I also put in some reg entries that are supposed to help the 6.5 memory leak issues. Seems to work well enough for now.
Calculator Replacement
Since you're already doing a Calculator Replacement, I'd submit that you consider using the program 'Eval' ( www .dl-c.com/PPC/ )
I've been using it for many years going back to pre-phone pdas and I think it works better then the built-in, and possibly better then the HTC version (though I can't guarantee that)
check it out and let me know what you think
souns good imma try it right now. is there a way you can build one with cricket arcsoft and wap built in if possible
Can't use WiFi
thanks for this rom! i really like it!
but just one problem which it cannot use wifi as before.
would you mind telling me how to solve this?
thank you very much!
@915Tibby.
I have no idea what cricket is, but if you send me a link to a thread with the files and some sort of instructions, I'll give it try.

Wifi works for me...can you describe where you run into problems when you try to connect?
hello everybody!
Im really new here so i was wondering....
Is there a reason I should be using this ROM instead of Ryan Mogul's WM6.5 light ROM? "forum.xda-developersdotcom /showthread.php?t=496982" (without the space, hyphens and switch the 'dot' with a period .)
Is this one better? Is this one more "up to date" and does it work better than Ryan Moguls WM6.5 light ROM?
THANKX!!!
I've never used Ryan's roms so I don't know what is better or not. It seems that rom is based on an older build of windows 6.5 where mine is built on the newest 6.5.5 build. The newer build has some graphical enhancements that are designed to be more finger friendly (larger buttons, start menu on bottom.)
Based on his include list, it seems like he includes more things in his ROM. I cooked my rom based on having the bare essentials and every user can install his own extras based on their preferences.
The best way to check is to try them both out and see which one is more appropriate for you.
hey i just flashed your verizon rom to my phone, and it didn't work.
Never mind! I got it working! GREAT ROM! THANX BUNCHES!!! Oh and btw, yours is much better than Mr. Ryan Moguls!
thanks for the reply

i am in China,but 23566 rom works very well for me,i mean wifi,everything.
thank you very much!
Thank you! One thing...
Thanks so much for doing this. I really appreciate getting some new life into an old device, it feels like cheating! Anyway, I have one minor nitpick. I'm a GNU/Linux user, and had trouble opening the archive because .rar is a proprietary format. Would you consider using a zip archive next time? Thanks again!
I will upload the ROM as a zip next time.
