Hey Guys!
With lots of excitement, here i present, my first self cooked Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM which i call by the name Pro User's ROM
Its a no-nonsense rom for users who want to use their Windows Mobile OS and Phone with all its genuineness. Upgrade your Gene (P3400i and maybe older P3400 with S/N HT8xxx and HT7xxxx) and add new life to it with Windows Mobile 6.1 and a lots of great apps many of which are taken from Elfin. I've given a great amount of time in bugfixing and error checking, and therefore for the most part, this rom is bugfree and some of the known problems that i found after all my efforts, i have given workarounds for those in post #2.

Problem Resolutions and FAQ:
------------------------
1. How to configure Hotmail's Pop3 Access in default messaging application of Windows Mobile without using Windows Live?
Solution: Create a new email account as usual and use these details:
Step 1:
Email Address: Your email but dont use @hotmail.com, instead use something else like htmail.com or something like that. Please not that this is only necessary if your email address end in @hotmail.com. Other Windows Live users dont need to do this.
Password: Your Password.
Step 2:
Uncheck the checkbox : Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the Internet
Step 3:
Select "Internet E-Mail" as your service provider.
Step4:
Enter your name and an account name.
Step 5:
Incoming Mail Server: pop3.live.com
Account Type : POP3
Step 6:
Username : Your email address (full email including @hotmail.com or any other windows live address that you have. This time give it correctly)
Password: Your Password.
Step 7:
Outgoing (SMTP) mail Server: smtp.live.com
Check the box "Outgoing Server requires authentication" and "Use the same username and password for sending mail."
Click "Advance Server Settings". Check the boxes "Use SSL for Incoming Mail" and "Use SSL for outgoing mail". Select "The Internet" as Network connection and then click "Done."
Step 7:
Select the Automatic update interval you want or manual for no automatic mail checking.
Click Finish.
Now open the account in Messaging and click Menu>Tools>Options. Click the account name, click "Edit Account Setup" and change the email address to the real one.Click Next, Next untill Finish and then click ok to close the options menu.
Thats it. Hotmail will be accessible from messaging now.
2. ActiveSync Starts up Again and Again Automatically Even When the Phone is Not Connected to USB cable or Bluetooth
Solution: It happens for some strange reasons that i haven't been able to find but for now there is a workaround for it.
For Users who use Exchange server with ActiveSync will have no problem if they have set the update schedule to manual. Otherwise, if you are using the push mail feature of exchange, then ActiveSync will run all the time for syncing and that is very normal.
For User who dont use Exchanage server, they should create a fake server and then set the update schedule to manual to prevent ActiveSync from running on its own. Here are the steps for that.
First of all, configure ActiveSync with your PC if you want to sync with PC using the usual method. After that:
1. Open Activesync on your phone and from the menu choose Configure Server...
2. Enter any email address. Clear the checkbox titled "Attempt to detect Exchange Server Settings Automatically". Click Next.
3. In server address, enter localhost or anything else. Click next.
4. Enter any username, password and domain name. I mean random strings. Also check save password checkbox.
5. Clear all the checkboxes in the "Data you want to synchronize" list. Click Finish.
6. Open Menu>Schedule. Here set both the dropdown lists to "Manually" and clear both the checkboxes. Click OK and close ActiveSync.
Plus as an additional step, delete the unneeded notification for Active Sync. To do that :
1. Open DotFred's task manager (Task Manager 2) and go to the Notifications tab.
2. In "Notified Programs", search for repllog.exe. You will most probably find 3 entries for it.
3. Scroll horizontally and out of these 3 or what ever entries, find those which have the entry "AppRunAtTimeChange" or "AppRunAfterTimeChange". Delete these entries, using the third icon from left on the bottom toolbar.
ActiveSync wont give you any problems after this.
3. Audio Booster doesn't allows entering Equalizer settings and checking the equalizer checkbox + Missing Audiobooster Option in Audio Managers Menu
Solution: This is not a problem and happens with some versions of AudioBooster and Audio Manager, if their version numbers are different. To resolve it :-
Just start AudioManager, let it build its library a little and then play a song for minimum 5 seconds. After that start AudioBooster, adjust one of its sliders a little. Then soft reset your phone, and both the problems will be solved. What happens is, they create their respective registry settings on first start and after that everything is fine. In Original ROMs from HTC, since on first boot the Customization applications runs, it sets up the registry itself. But even with that, you have to reboot your device anyway.
Useful Add-ons for this ROM
First of all, these apps are not mine, i am just posting these here for convenience. All the credit goes to the respective authors.
1. HTC Home version 2.1.1005.722 with Directory Fix by Schen
This is the best version of HTC home i have seen yet. It has almost no memory usage problem, takes only about 1 MB or so of memory. The original HTC home in the WM 6 original p3400i ROM was a memory hog and full of memory leak related bugs. This one is with 6 tabs, an extra one for music player management from home screen. And it saves its files in a seprate folder out of \windows so it doesn't makes your device any slower. A must have in my opinion.

there is some problem first time went i boot up it freeze at windows mobile boot screen then i hard reset it mow working fine
where is mms ?
usb to pc not working
audio manager not working
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Freeze?? It makes a sound and returns after about a minute thats it. No freezes for me. I think you should've waited for a while.
2. ya man, mms is missing! I'll try to find the mms composer and cook a new version. I dont know how i missed it. :| For now i've attached the cab file of the latest version taken from kaiser, i think. [CAB DELETED AS THE COMPOSER IS ALREADY PRESENT IN THE CURRENT VERSION]
3. USB to PC's second mode is not working. But its connecting fine. Isn't that so in your case?
4. Audio Manager working fine on my phone. What error it is showing??
audio manager it's show it already open
no disk storage mode on usb to pc normal mode working fine
also ram is about 22-18mb
Hi Sumit,
Thanx a ton for this ROM. Just flashed. I didn't have any issues while booting first time, which I can confirm.
Audio Manager is opening, in my case at least. Can't play and check now, since I am in office
As far as USB to PC option is concerned, can confirm that I am able to Sync. Not tried the second option yet, since I am in the middle of syncing my contacts and appointments. Will confirm later on.
The only concern, I feel, is lesser RAM as compared to other ROMs. But peformance in terms of folder browsing etc., is brilliant. May be a tradeoff.
Again, thanx a lot for the kitchen too. But I am not really sure, how to work on the same. Though I tried, didnt' work out. So, gave up for the moment.
Thanks, again.
@krazy_about_technology
does this work with the old Gene with SN HT7XXX...
thanks...
Wait for some hours guys, i am cooking a new version with fixes.
I've integrated Arcsoft MMS, File Open and Save dialog Changer for default windows dialogs and old icon of USB to PC.
Removed the SQM (Software Quality Metrics), USB to PC icon of Elfin as it was not working.
Anything else guys?

I would say, so far this ROM has been impressive. Great work mate. Waiting for the fix.
Just one comment though. I don't know, many will agree with me. Will it be wise to remove Office and Adobe Reader out of this ROM? Both of them are available in cabs and can be eaily installed in Storage card. I was thinking that removing the same from the ROM will save some valuable space in storage. Just a thought.
why start a kitchen for new gene
hi
u being such an expert on the new gene why not u start a kitchen

This ROM, in my knowledge, is the first rom for New GENE which is complete in all respects. It has all the features of WM 6.1 in it (only Welcome Center is removed as it was of no use at all). Plus i have also included some essential utilities. I wanted to include some others too but was neither able to find OEM's for some nor was i able to create with the tools i have.
Main Features:
* First WM 6.1 ROM with Fully Working version of Windows Live
I think i was right about the 2 HTC certificates that are not present in any other ROM. These are responsible for the non-functioning of Windows Live on these ROM (I think so but i could be wrong.)
*HTC's original touch driver from Elfin (Touch 3G) so all the default Windows Mobile apps have touchflo support
*Good FileSystem and Application Response timing: Windows folder is accessible within 3 seconds from any explorer application and application response time is also fine. Will be better in next releases.
*The Packages included are:
Packages Added by ME:
-------------------------
Jbed Java Runtime
Google Maps
HTC Touch Audio Manager

Buddy, i wanted to make a ROM that is complete in every sense. I can think of removing Adobe Reader but removing Office doesn't makes sense as it is one of the foundation packages of Windows Mobile. This is one of the features that makes Windows Mobile platform unique. so i don't think it would be a nice idea to remove office. And you have about 44-46 MB of free space, i think thats a good tradeoff for a ROM that is quiet complete in features. Anyways, if you still want something like that, i will also uploaded the full kitchen, you can use that to generate ROM for yourself, with only things that you need. I have included what i need and what i thought most other ppl will too.
No offence buddy, just clearing my point
does this work with the old Gene with SN HT7XXX...
thanks..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No it wont buddy. Its for new gene not the old one. It should work on devices with ONBL 1.10.000 or higher and Serial No HT8xxx. If you have such a device with SPL unlocked either using olipro or orefkov's method, you can try it. This ROM only contain the OS and Extended ROM modules so your spl, radio etc will be untouched even if it doesn't works. Just flash back your current ROM and your phone will be working again.
Hey guys,
Check out the updated, fixed version. I have included :
1. Arcsoft MMS composer.
2. File Open dialog replacement for default windows mobile dialogs. These include facility to browse the file system freely, but it need to be enabled from the Settings>System menu first.)
3. SIM Manager Icon added to main menu.
4. Normal USB to PC icon instead of the icon taken from Elfin ROM.
Problems:
1. There is a fake, second, non-functional USB to PC icon in the Settings>Network control panel, but fix for it and the guidelines to use it are included in both ROM and Post #2.
2. The ActiveSync issue remains.
Please post your views about this updated version guys.
Important
Is their someone from Delhi or Noida reigon with an old gene who would like to test the ROMs if i make a clone of this for old gene? I dont have the phone for doing the debugging.

First of all dear, thats not my ROM. thats lomlom's. secondly, i think you gave gone through only first stage of unlocking your spl. just go thru the tutorial again and try using the orefkov's gene unbricker as described in the other threads. Otherwise, if you have tried it, please describe what you exactly did and what exact result you are getting while using orefkov's method.

Buddy, If your ONBL is 1.17, how come your mobile is an old gene. As far as i know, 1.10 and above ONBL is only present in new gene devices sold as p3400i in asia region and may be p3400 in other parts of the world. Please double check your mobile box for correct model detail and also post the version of your SPL, GSM and OS.
The serial no is present at the back of the mobile behind battery i think and is also there on the original box of the mobile, on a sticker on one side. Post these info then only i can suggest whether you can flash it or not.
Thanks for offering me help, but i need someone in my local vicinity for that as testing a ROm may require a lot of flashing and reflashing. Neither can i upload roms so many times nor is it fast enough to do that from a distance for you. But i appreciate that you offered your help. Thanks

For Known Issues, Resolutions and Workarounds, See Post #2
Please post your views, reviews, opinions etc etc about how fruitful my work was
If you like my work and feel that its worth some money, please donate to me, whatever amount you like at
Enjoy!
Problem Resolutions:
-----------------------------------------------------
1. Active Sync starting up automatically.
Solution:
Step 1. See the solution given in Pro Users ROM WM 6.1 edition thread.
Step 2. I addition to that here is something that will get rid of the problem forever (next hard reset i mean )
- Open DotFred's task manager and go to Notifications tab.
- Look for all notifications that have repllog.exe in the "Notified Programs" and the value "AppRunAfterTimeChange" in Argument column. Delete these entries (button for deletion is in the bottom toolbar). In most cases there will be two such entries.
-Reboot the phone.
Thats it. ActiveSync wont start on its own now. Please note that even after you do this step, the previous "Fake Server" fix is still needed to be applied. Both of these work together.
Recommended Addons :
--------------------------
1. Advance Configuration Tool : Can be used to change advanced system settings. Some of the most popular settings are to disable dialer themes, tuning filesystem cache for increased performance and enabling battery icon in taskbar on home screen instead of clock. Use it carefully though as some of the settings are a bit dangerous, specially the touchflo touch sensitivity settings.
2. EzInput ABC Default : Sets ABC as the default mode for the new keyboards instead of T9.
3. ClearTemp: Cleanup accumulated junk from your phone using this.
4. Disable XT9 by DuttyThroy: Disables the ET9 and XT9 dictionary system that comes with EZInput keyboards and enables default Windows Mobile's dictionary.
5. HomeScreenPlusPlus with Clock Theme: If you ever get bored with Manila, use it as your homescreen plugin for a good look. Also comes with a very capable task manager and OMAP processor Overclocker (use with caution!!)
6. I-Contact Version .9 and PointUI Modified blue theme NEW!!: Finger Friendly Contact Application. This version is ultra fast! Loads contacts even faster than the default Windows Mobile Contacts app. Amazing!!! And it has settings icons too, but its in Start>Settings>System instead on Programs. I have also included the PointUI theme that closely matches the color scheme of this ROM. I have modified it for working with this ROM.
7. M2DC (Manila 2D Customizer) : It can be used to customize some of the aspects of Manila 2D as well as installing new themes.
8. NEW!! Audio Manager 2.2 Minimal Install : Use the 5 files in the zip file to upgrade your audio manager to version 2.2. This update would be part of any further release of this ROM. For a complete description and download, see this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3295813&postcount=178

@Sumit..... Buddy I am facing a problem with Active Sync since a couple of days (I use vista). The first time when I sync the phone it works but the next time it shows sync error. so I have to delete the partnership and set up device again, this solves the problem but only for one time. the next time I have to sync I have to do the same, meaning delete the partnership and set up device again. I have also noticed that the My Documents folder of the phone on my pc is missing. Im using the new windows mobile device centre...Please help!!
any thing new for old gene
hi
u planning on the same for old gene if so kindly do give me the link
thanks
hari
@nevermind_me: Yes that is an issue with Microsoft Outlook actually. When you start to sync your phone, right click on the taskbar on your PC and click "Task Manager". Go to the "Processes" tab. There, in the "Image Name" column, you will see two instances of "Outlook.exe" running. If you will look at the "Memory (Private Working Set)" column, one will be using higher amount of memory and other will be using lower amount of memory. Kill the outlook.exe which is using more memory and the sync will start.
@svrhari: Yes i will upload an old gene version and when it will be uploaded, you'll get a link in this thread in post #1 as i always do. I will also update the thread title so keep checking for that.

Hey Guys!
I made this ROM for my private use but on demand from my fellows here, i am presenting it here. I have removed some of the personalizations like my photo on splash screen . This ROM is based on the same core as BlackMetal ROM but i have removed most of the bugs from that base. I am doing some research on new builds of Windows Mobile CE OS so there will be something new soon. But for the meanwhile, this is what i have for you.
It has Manilla 2D Elfin Build but with Opal theme. All the software that were there in BlackMetal are here too. Basically some bugs have been fixed, some software versions have been updated, some themes changes and a few utilities added.
I named it VanillaManila because its a pure vanilla rom with manila 2D in all its originality.
Here are the details of it:
Base Operating System version is CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 20270.1.3.1)
Free Memory at Startup : 22.80 MB initially, After normal use for 5-10 mins : 20.18 MB
Free User Space : 40.69 MB
Page Pool : 5 MB
I have created it with my own ported XIP from WM 6 Original Rom for P3400i using Ramerson's Kitchen (my favourite) for GENE.
Here are some screen shots from the ROM:
I have also attached the individual images of screen shots as a rar file with this post.
Download Link :
For New Gene (Version 1.0) :
Live Skydrive : http://cid-988261b694475a67.skydriv...le/ROMs/SumitsVanillaManilaWM6.1|_NewGene.exe
For OLD Gene (Version 1.0) :
Live Skydrive : http://cid-988261b694475a67.skydriv...e/ROMs/SumitsVanillaManillaWM6.1|_OldGene.exe NOT TESTED YET! PLEASE KEEP A WORKING ROM WITH YOU BEFORE FLASHING THIS AND REPORT ANY SUCCESS IMMEDIATELY IN THIS THREAD. THANKS!
Please NOTE:
1.Please apply the Opal today theme the first time you boot your phone after flashing. Otherwise you wont get flat title and soft key bar and WK task will have a different background color. Will fix it if i get some time.
2. A duplicate installation of Audio Manager is created in \Program Files folder for an unknown reason. You can safely delete it.
ROM is complete, with all parts of OS intact and HTC's original OEM apps in it with updated versions of some. Apart from SQM, Windows Update and Welcome center, nothing is missing from it.
Main Features
* WM 6.1 with Manilla 2D Elfin + Opal version with Windows Live working
* Manila Opal themes for main applications like Manilla 2D plugin, Phone Dialer, Windows Media Player, Calculator, Comm Manager etc.
* WKTask, an advance task manager and program launcher which shows icons of running programs on task bar and manages them very smoothly. Its the primary task manager used in this ROM. HTC task manager is not there as i think its not of much use along with this one. Tweaks have been pre-applied to WKTask so that it doesn't shows Manila2D.exe in the task list and does not hides any icons.
* Good FileSystem and Application Response timing: Windows folder is accessible within 5 seconds from any explorer application despite being a manilla based ROM. Application response time is also good.
* The Packages included are:
- Arcsoft MMS Composer 5_0_31_16
- AudioBooster 1_2_18192131_2
- AudioManager 2_0_1819_1228 with Suspend Mode Playback Problem Fixed. Windows Media Player Fixed too
- ConnectionSetup_1_5_35082_1
- Device lock : Provides convenient device locking facility for manila based roms.
- Enlarged Start Menu - Integration with TouchFLO settings in control Panel works.
- Opal Large Title Bar System Icons
- File Dialog Changer - Changes standard WM File Open and File Save dialogs with custom dialogs with Folder browsing facility. Needs to be enabled manually.
- Outlook Enhancements
- Google Maps
- HC4 Inbox - Recieve files via bluetooth directly on storage card.

- HTC Camera
- HTC Homeplug 9 Icons version

- OEMAPPS (from original WM 6 ROM)
- OEMDrivers (from original WM 6 ROM)
- OEM_OMNIA_D3DM (From Omnia. Games require it sometimes)
- OpenNETSDF2.3 (An powerful addition to the .NET 3.5 framework needed by many apps)

Please post your views, reviews, opinions etc etc about how fruitful my work was
Credits
- Many Many thanks to Ramerson for his great work.
- Thanks to Ankit360 who really started the work on this ROM, made it available for new gene for the first time and gave me the direction to work in.
- I would also like to thank Om-By for his fabulous page pool changer that i use with every rom that i create.

Problem kindly advise
hi
im not able to see my zip files on my SD card it showing like some kinda windows file and im not able to use the same
kindly adivse
Using : sumits vanilamanila 6.1 for old gene
@hari: Ya, actually zip program is not included in this ROM. PocketRAR is there for it. Open PocketRAR and on first run it will ask you to associate zip and RAR files with it. Check both boxes and click ok. Now your zip files will open in PocketRAR. If you have opened it previously and cancelled this box then open WinRAR, Click on Tools>Settings and on the Integration tab, check both boxes and click OK. That will solve your problem
@hari: please don't quote the original post with your replies. Thats useless and makes it difficult for other people to read them specially for those who read it on their PDAs. And quote only the part you are referring to not the whole useless thing. Ok. Please edit your post if its not a problem for you.

Open the music tab and let Audiomanager rebuild it database. But be aware that every time you visit the music tab, Audio Manager is started, since the tab actually uses audio manager to play back audio
sorry i did not get it (addicted toXda)

Actually Hari, Whever you go to the music tab on home screen, it will start the audio manager automatically. THis is the default behaviour of Manilla 2D (The thing that you are using on your home screen with tabs, clock, weather, music etc, its called Manilla 2D). To close Audio Manager, click and hold on it, then click close. When it will start for the first time, it will search for music files on your sd card as well as phone memory so it may seem unresponsive. Let it do that once. After that it will start normally.
@krazy
So, are you a MilliVanilli Fan ?
BTW, on a serious note, is it faster than BlackMetal?
Hi guys,
This is another full WM 6.5.3 JE2 23148 ROM, this time with improved, new versions of Samsung applications. Let me know your thoughts about it. Its again a plain, vanilla 6.5.3 ROM so I don't think screen shots are necessary.
Link : Download from Megaupload.com
Here is what is in the ROM :
- Windows Mobile 6.5, CE OS 5.2.23148 (Build 23145.5.3.11), with Start button at bottom.
- Full JE2 + Omnia 2 JD1 combination ROM with Optimized CSC (1.86 MB only, will work with other ROMs too, though not all maybe), LZX Compression and 12 MB Pagepool for optimum performance.
- Apart from Samsung Widgets, Samsung Today, Dialer, Keyboard and USSD popup executables, all the other samsung apps that had problem with 6.5.x positioning have also been taken from Omnia 2 JD1 rom and are working absolutely great. Touch Player is specially very good with its improved library. So overall this ROM wont feel unpolished like previous one.
- Phone Memory : Approx 143 MB, RAM: About 70 MB on start
- Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool (Highly versatile tweaking utility)
- DotFred's Task Manage 3.3 for WM 6.5 (Highly useful and detailed task manager for power users)
- GPRS Counter application from JE2 ROM (Useful for keeping track of GPRS data usage for limited GPRS plan users. Can show stats in chart as well as report format)
- Midomi Application from Omnia II (Music information recognition software)
- MortScript 4.2 (A very popular scripting runtime for Windows Mobile)
- OpenNETSDF v2.3.0.21 (A framework that complements .NET CF, needed to run many modern .NET based apps).
- SQL Server CE 3.1 (Although SQL Server is always there on Windows mobile in background, this version supports a GUI tool, Query Analyzer, using which you can run SQL commands on your phone )
- XDA Shutdown v1.01 with Black Theme (Shutdown, Restart, Sleep or Hibernate your mobile with ease.)
- AutoClose Patch 1.1 (Enhances the way memory allocation/deallocation happens on Omnia, useful for keeping phone running for long time without restart)
- Bluetooth Toggle Application (One touch toggling of bluetooth)
- MADE Text Editor (A simple text editor that supports both ANSI and Unicode text formats)
- PPC PIM Backup (Great Personal Information (contacts, messages, calender, task etc) backup utility)
- Pocket RAR (Archiving utility supporting RAR and ZIP formats)
- Simple Regedit (A powerful registry editor, despite the word simple in its name )
- HTCSensorSDK.dll and LibGLES_CM.dll (Needed for accelerometer and OpenGLES v1 support in games and manilla kind of apps)
- Microsoft Voice Commands (from WM 6.5.5 last build, the latest version available. Recognizes Asian accents quiet well, including Indian english )
- Latest MyPhone application, No need to install afterwards.
- UTDrv TTF driver for fixing Bold Fonts issue with the new Font Engine of 231xx builds. For more information, search on XDA.
- Bubble Breaker game added from COM2. WM 6.5.3 no longer comes with it.
- Tweaks
----Orientation Settings Enabled
----Titanium Enabled by Default
----JBlend Font Size fix
----WinMO default Settings icon enabled
----Disabled lines between tradional today plugins
----Enabled Lockscreen Picker in Settings>Lockscreen
----Disabled Samsung Large Titlebar for enabling Windows default large icon title bar dropdown
----Enabled Samsung Launcher (that shows up automatically when keyboard is slided) by default)
----Other Misc performance tweaks.
Please note that as with my previous roms, this was for also my personal use, so everything is according to my preferences. If you feel your preferences are same, use it else ignore it. Consider this a disclaimer
Cheers!
PS: Its a self extracting executable, just run the exe, extract the files at some path on your hard drive and you will get the nb0 (PDA) and CSC file for flashing.
Can you tell us if this is for i8000 or other Omnia 2 model?
Dear Sumit,
Stupid as I may sound but though have been using and abusing winmo since 2008(HTC Diamond and Touch Pro & Now Samsung B7610) have never attempted flashing custom ROMs aprt for updates provided by HTC for both the devices mentioned here. As my phone is now out of warranty and Samsung have NOT obliged with the promised update of 6.5 for B7610 in India( I am at Jaipur by the way); wud like very much to upgrade my device. Request you to kindly guide me ona step by step guide on flashing this as I am a complete novice. I may call /mail u if convenient for the same. Would be a great help.
Darkyogi...
Can u post Some Screenies ??
Tried to flash my GT-I8000 with your NB0 & CSC, but, after rebooting, the screen halted on the SAMSUNG logo and nothing happened afterwords. Flashing again with another ROM to put the phone in LIVE state. Did you ever test it on an O2 buddy?

I get a federal warning when trying to download from megaupload
hello all

Hello,
I would like to inform you that I'm rebuilding Easy2Prog who was available for PPC (Windows Mobile) and made by me (sitajony, I've just changed my username).
This application can run a script language called "E2P" directly on your Smartphone (Android, Windows Phone and iOS), for now I prefere to work on Android...
With this application you'll can do anything without knowledges, it can be used by ROM developers to build some tweaks or settings or other...
You can also make any application in any language (French, English, Russian ...), the applications can be wrote directly on the smartphone with a simple text editor or with my dedicated script editor.
My question is : Someone is interested ? And if he want, who want to be an alpha/beta tester ?
Thank you.
An alpha version is now available, it's just a test, if everything is ok (No crash ...).
Site : www[dot]easy2soft[dot]com
Zip (for test only) : www[dot]easy2prog[dot]com/downloads/easy2prog.zip
My favorites examples are :
- Serveur.e2p who can create a "web server" (in typing (Your ip):8086/ it just show an image when the server is started)
- net.e2p : It download an example (in E2P) from my web site and run it
To run an exemple select the e2p files
To edit scripts, open the e2psource files from Easy2Prog editor (in the zip)
Thank you for your help.
Forum
A forum is now available for Easy2Prog on the web site, if you have troubles with this alpha version you can report it on this forum...
Thank you for your contributions.
Already 1 tester, he's realy good but I need some others testers ...
With this project you'll can create your own applications without PC and fastly, it'll could be used for custom rom and any other project type...
Thank you for your help.
It's increasingly resulted, maybe I'll build a beta version who'll be downloadable by everyone in few days.
But I need some others alpha testers before...
Anyone can test this project ?
A first beta version will be available soon, We just have to finish the designer mode and add some graphics functions and anyone will can test without be registered in the website.
If you want test and make this project better before the first beta version you can help us in registering on the website's forum.
Thank you
PS : Only french functions are available for the moment, sorry ...
