I have read about Remotetracker.
I also read it would be possible to cook it into a ROM.
I have coocked a rom allready (on touch HD), surprisingly simple, but not so simple to immediately try... [and the testing afterwards]
If ROMS are around with Remotetracker build in, please could you tell me which?
I already searched the ROM Development forum, but a search for Remotetracker gives me a lot of thrads, but in (at least the first ones returned) i found no reference to Remotetracker.
The only one would be Chucky ROM (with kitchen) which mentiones it as an "addon" (does this mean you will have to (re)cook the rom to get it in?
In the meantime I will continue my investigation .....
Thanx in advance
none that i'm aware of, because there wouldn't be much point cooking it into a mass release rom, because the settings would only be stored on the sd card, so the thief removes or wipes the card and remotetracker wouldn't work.
if you want it hardreset and sd card missing safe, then you need to cook it in yourself, after preparing your custom settings. (there is a tool on the creators site to generate a reg file of your personal settings to add to your kitchen when you cook.)
Thanks, I hoped there would be roms with remotetracker build in, but apparently not (done some more searching).
This brings up another question:
Is there a guide on how to cook your own ROM?
I just found one, dated from April and cleared as obsolete.
I looked for kitchen and cooking rom, but cannot find the nessesary information.
Personally I like energy roms, but I cannot find the kitchen used....
It has been a while, so it is not so clear anymore how to cook.
It would be nice if there is a guide/tutorial/manual for cooking your own ROMs.

I just upgraded to special ROM v1.2. I like it very much and would like to thanks all the guys made this possible.
My problem is that i don't want some of the applications given with the above mentioned ROM v1.2.
Is it possible to delete what i don't like, especially the little icons on the "today screen"?
Or i should use the original O2 UK ROM and then add the applications i like?
in the "remove programs" utility i don't see any of the application installed, is it because they are "inside" the ROM?
Thanks in advance
Yes they are in rom, if you go to the rom kitchen you can choose which programs you want included in your rom.

I see, but if i don't have a unix machine how can i make my own rom? is there a kitchen to cook roms under win?
dNuOs
If you followed the link you will see that you can choose your base rom and then tick any of the other programs that you want to include in it, within memory constraints, you then go to the base of the screen and click to cook the rom, once cooked you can download it and then burn it into your xda via exe method or sd method, the kitchen runs on unix but you dont need unix to use the cooked roms as you will know having used the 1.2 special edition rom. I hope this helps.
With the experience the Charmer WM6 developers have already gained would it be possible to create base roms that we can play with ourselves along with a user guide?
I quite like the idea of being able to add my own packages within a ROM but don't know where to start.
I have seen on the Wizard forum a list of available packages that can be used within the various kitchens and assume that these would be compatible with the Charmer
Thanks

I'm a novice chef and I'm seeing more and more people use a hybrid build for their roms. For example, NATF is using 21009 which he got from Da_G and I'm wondering why? I've been using NATF's ROMS has a base for my customizations and I'm looking to start building my own base. Since NATF went away from the stock AT&T ROM I've noticed the hybrids are quirky so I'm trying to get a handle on why chefs are using them as I go forward.
Also, is there a good collection of Packages somewhere for bundling in to a rom?

There are alot of reasons for making a hybrid. The main reason is taking the best of everything. a dll from here, a package from there, a sys from here, a xip from there. You are right that it can be quirky. However it can also yield incredible roms if done right.
Honestly there is no great location for packages. Most of them are collected over time. I have several hundred that it has taken me years to get. Probably about half of those are now out of date. The best thing you can do is just start searching. If there are any specific ones you need let me know and ill see if I have them.

Hybrid builds may introduce some quirks, but they rarely cause "dealbreakers" as I've seen some problems referred to lately.
Two positive examples of hybrid builds that immediately spring to mind are: MS Voice Command [was broken in Fuze stock ROM - needed a new DLL and OS build to correct], and GPS Navigation [horrible in Fuze stock ROM for 99% of people - needed Blackstone/Diamond drivers and registry changes to correct].
One dealbreaker would be: Captain Throwback. When he flashed to my ROM based on 21009, his Exchange connection suddenly stopped working. This began as a dealbreaker, but ended up being narrowed down to his SD card being partitioned, which OS 21009 didn't like. This is a quirk that was resolved by creating one big SD card.
Unfortunately that hasn't been a good collection of ROM packages created for the Raphael yet. On the Kaiser, _Alex_ distributed a modified version of KaiserKitchen along with a rather large collection of QVGA packages.
I totally agree that spot fixes like the GPS/DirectX drivers from the Blackthrone are important additions. I didn't realize MSVC was broken with the base AT&T build. That can certainly be a good reason to upgrade. That's sort of why I wanted to get a handle on why you guys were doing it. To me, MSVC isn't worth losing multi-select but I'm sure it is to others.
I'd love to see a base OS thread where we can just discuss updates/changes like this without the clutter of general support for a ROM.
I agree, _ALEX_'s kitchen was awesome on the Kaiser. I've been putting together a collection for my own use, maybe we should all just get together and create a good set of packages for chefs.
You don't need to lose multiselect, it's controlled by a registry key (which i discuss in my 20xxx registry settings thread in the raphael forum)
Also, the fix for MSVC in stock fuze rom is simply a blackstone wavedev.dll driver, don't need to upgrade the os to fix that, just extract rom, drop in driver replacement, cook

I can't seem to get rid of multiselect using that registry key. It's cooked into my latest ROM, but multiselect is still there.
I thought we tried dropping the DLL file into the stock ROM, but it wouldn't take... since the OS is 19971.
We are in a very need for such application that saves our PPC a lot of Flashing.
I think my GENE Device is about to kill me because i'm flashing it almost every day with each of my cooked ROM for testing.
I searched all the WEB without any success till now.
I'm requesting Everybody that has any single piece of success in this regard to tell us HERE about his tries and to make this Thread helpfull for everybody .
please go ahead all and put your comments.
There is no emulator available for cooked roms, not even for official HTC roms. The Microsoft emulator uses a very different file format a lot of other utilties inside the roms that run inside emulators. I have searched a lot and this is the answer i have come up with.
Well, there is a way. You could use samWMEmuKitchen. It has some bugs, but you can try your modifications with it, as add a package to test, registry modifications, etc. Only works with wm6.1 and has some limitations. I used it some time ago to test some modifications before flash my device.

i appreciate that effort ramersonw.
i already used your emulation kitcken long time ago.
there might be missunderstanding, i'm looking for emulator that i can inject with any cooked ROM but your kitchen can be used perfectly for testing some minor changes
for example. i tried to inject Arabizer and it come with black screen, i might use it in a wrong way, would you please help me?
Hi there!
I need a working ROM for my HTC Touch Pro.
I found one (hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470164) but that one was posted in 2007 so the download file is long gone from the internet! It was a ROM with a Stock market tab in FT3D.
I've read the rules and the Wiki but still I can't find what I'm looking for on this forum because of the many ROM's people have made! Don't get me wrong: I think that's great but I need help locating the right manilla that can be downloaded! Or point me in the direction were to look!
Thanks for your help! and greetingz from Holland

Er...
Well the latest is Manila 2.5 or sense 2.5 w/e you want to call it.
Most of the roms offer one or the other.
perrsonally i recommend energy rom... they're wonderful.
Leo version is slow but pretty
Pheonix two is strong.

Oké! Thanks for your replay. I've read somewere that manilla 2.6 is still in beta?
I know (from the wiki) that I have a HTC "Raphael" (touch pro...duh! ) but I see a lot of ROM's for the Diamond and pro 2 aswell! Do they all work fine on the Touch pro to? As a newbie I don't know were to look for when I'm looking for a ROM.
Can I create a ROM of my one? What need I to do that? I know my way around Paint Shop Pro but not around programming like in C++.
Manila (aka SenseUI)
Newer versions of Manila may require that you use a WinMO 6.5 custom ROM as HTC released the new 2.x versions of Manila (aka Sense) on devices that sported WinMO 6.5.
Additionally, some of the recent Manila releases (ex: 2.5, 2.6) may be versions obtained from dev/test ROM source. If you're after stability or rely on your device, this may not be preferable.
Custom ROM's
There are several customs available ... some chefs even release different ROM streams. In many cases, custom ROM's will also contain recent application updates. If you're after stability or rely on your device, once again this may not be preferable.
Custom ROM's are usually specific to devices. For example, if you own a Raphael GSM device, you only flash custom ROM that are Raphael GSM specific. Flashing custom ROM's from a different device or CDMA may permanently damage your device.
Kitchen (DIY Custom ROM)
Building a custom ROM has become much simpler. Many chefs who have moved onto another mobile device will often release a final ROM as well as the kitchen they use to prepare the ROM ... this serves as a great starting point.
Additionally, there are many tutorials available on how to use kitchens floating around the forum.
Lastly, moderators typically close threads requesting "What's The Best ROM" as selecting a custom ROM is like choosing a vehicle, house, partner ... it's all about personal preference. And from past experiences, these types of threads usually get out of control pretty quick. So, to avoid having a thread that you start closed, it is best to avoid "What's The Best ROM" discussions.
HTH,
OH..........sorry!
Don't want to upset the moderators!
Then I have just one final question:
Is there on this forum-part a topic with a standard ROM with instruction on how to customize it? Or can I find those things in the Wiki?
I would like to contribute to theme's or even a Dutch ROM.
I only need to know/learn how to do that! Can someone give me a link to some documentation and files/programs to use?
Thanks!

AFAIK, there isn't a "Generic" ROM with customization tips. What most members do is download a kitchen and post any customization related question in the corresponding kitchen thread.
