all the DEV's that have made it possible to dump,port and cook roms with their unbelivable tools
Extra special thanks to bepe for putting together some of the best tool around XDA into the DEV kitchen that I use for several devices

for updates and tricks
gues this will be helpfull
Some extra info Manila2D(TouchFLO2D) does work on Shift but some tabs wan't work in landscape. the main problem with Manila would then be that it would be hard to type on the keyboard when the window is in portrate.
to get access to Activesync if you need to setup excange sever download this cab Activesync_link.cab it will put a link in the Connections folder

Needed maybe
just incase I need it

Wow!Gullum thanks!

I would realy aprisiate some feedback from thoese that have tried it

HELP !!!!!
when I started your exe file, prompt showed up, asked me Run program or Cancel, I pushed Run and that dialog windows disapear and no more response from exe program. Any help or solution ???

You did a great job. I really apreciate the big buttons and controls as they improve using the Shift in my car mount.
I haven't found any bugs so far.
Thanks

I didn`t found any bugs either. Some icons are crappy but that is nothing. Awesome rom, thanks!

Thank you for this ROM I believe it has good collection of tools & important softwares.
I'm downloading it X will be more than happy to post suggestions & ideas.
In the meanwhile, I'm wondering what is the use of internet sharing tool? Isn't already 'the vista, connected to the internet?
thank you very much.

If you are using for example Ubuntu on your shift you need internet sharing to connect to internet using 3G.

Thanks Gullum! Wll try this over the weekend. Is PowerPoint included? didn't see it in the list of Office Apps.

hello,
Thanks for the awesome ROM.
I agree with you totally that this is how the WM side should be - finger friendly and quick. This is my preferred ROM.

Yes,powerpoint is included

is there any tools to change resolution?

Very nice ROM. Thanks for reliving this forum

thanks, nice rom
Very nice rom, but mic still don't work..

Brill
The dictionary program Merriam-Webster installs and runs great on this ROM. It is free in its trial mode.
I also installed Youtubeplay, which is a bit of a chore with the screen resolution. I might install the VGA resolution changer so that I can change resolution, as I do rather miss the extra sceen space in google maps.
I also found the screen rotation to be a handy tool, so I am going to install quick menus or something similar.

gullum
thanks for the awesome ROM. Did you try to port XIP from the chinese RAW files that I posted in a different thread? I vaguely remember that MIC was working in that ROM. ROM version is 1.33.xxx Chinese Traditional. Even alex_time also confirmed that he saw that in his Italian ROM. He also posted the RAW files and posted the links for them in a different thread.
Thanks again
Ram

wow, that's loads of free space available!!!!
but what about touchflo 3d, is the ROM contains that as well?!? cos I really want that to be remained.
whatever, i'm downloading now

It contain Manila... don't worry)))

What problem on first tab are you talking about?
Click to expand...

on the home tab under the calendar you have a small white arrow. in your rom the arrow it's at the bottom and if I flip to small clock, it will go above the big one.
I am using tf3d with 15 tabs, and the problem can be from here... don't know.
Thanks!

I'm not clearly understand what do you mean)))
It is my home screen, and I have the white arrow at the bottom.
When I flip up,it will go above and show me small clock, if I flip down it will show me big clock.
I think maybe your problem is in tf3d with 15 tabs.

yes it is the 15 tabs. i see in your pic it's ok. I will install it without 15 tabs. do you know, it is a htc original keyboard in a cab format? thank you!

You want HTC keyboard in a cab?

how about touchflo 3d cfc compression? cos that saves space
and ATI d3d driver (Quartz)?! cos that really makes differences!!!

Isn't enough space for you?)))
I use this ROM few weeks and it's really stable without any new drivers or something else...

I've ran the ROM 12 hours now....fully tested the apps I use, OCN8 (GPS) with text to speach, YouTube, upload, Galarm, Opera, Total commander, HD Tweak, WiFi and BT toggle, word, Adobe, contacts among a few minor programs. They all work without a flaw! I particularly like the Opera version larger text option.
Your ROM IS the fastest I've used and I am sure I've 90% of the WWE cooked ROMs. The RAM-Disc is pure genius!! No stability issues. When I say quick, I mean it runs as the HD is intended. Excelent for those, like me, who want the option of installing and removing applications, rather than cooking into the ROM. (of course, if I wasn't so lazy = dumb )
I installed HD volume control - perfect!
The one issue I have and it's a preference, not a product flaw: I can't get HD dailer to work properly. I've re-flashed ROM after installtion, installed in devise, RAM-Drive and SD card - rebooted, but each time I use the phone or get a call, the answer slider shows as a green/red line that is not accessable. Of course, I can touch the pick-up button, but what fun is that?
Seriously though, can anyone give me a pointer to install the HD-IT Blackstone Dialer that I may be overlooking.

What girl's want (Make a rom request here)

Ok, I see a lot of customisation done here, so I think it's time to make a rom based on user requests. Of course, please don't ask for headset, BT, SD, wifi, this will of course be added when found.
Just post what kind of rom you would like, and we will try to find a list of good programs to include.
Criteria are: small programs, specially usefull, and (possibly) free to use in a rom.
Adding as much as possible in a rom is counter productive, as it grabs more storage space than installing the cab afterward.
My guess is that programs should be in the following categories:
GPS aid tools
Phone aid tools
Today plugin tools
Memory and system managment tools
Core functionality
Default settings
The following post will compile what has been selected. Rom will be created when enough input is aquired. Requests can be done for removal also (like games for example)
now fire your requests

----Reserved--------

To me it is sufficient that there was an application that gives me the opportunity to do everything with your fingers. Without using the scrollbar. As in Mr gullum ROM. Thanks for this opportunity to express your wishes.

ClearTemp v1.2 (http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/cleartemp.shtml)

would like....
i would like one that has only the phone, text messages, touchflo (if possible) and GPS, for everything else we have the Vista side like office, messenger and any other app we could possibly want.
botton line the less you put in it the faster it will be and still leave room to install any other app an specific user may want.
just my 2 cents.
BTW great work we are all very thankfull for all your hard work and that goes to cmonex and the rest of your team.
thanks

Call firewall and what you have listed chat of some type (I use yahoo)

i would love to have a ROM based on MANILA or POINT UI or throttle launcher.
i know that there is not much space. but it can be done ( for some resone it works slow..)
please, im willing to donate ( again!!) to the one that will creat that kind of ROM. ( no need for SnupVue...or Office..
10x!

Your current rom is almost perfect. Everybody can install the programs they want. Only I would like have speaker phone forced on like iOO did in his rom and those three themes can be replaced with just one black snapvue theme. And also it should be possible to soft reset from wm side so you dont have to start vista to do that.

Less is more
Actually I would like to see more stripped out all non-essential files/ anything to make more room for programs and data!
I see you put the HTC tools in there, but with the exception of USBTool,RealVGA and cab install support - I wonder how many times I will fire up GPS Debugging...
There maybe some housecleaning opportunities in the Windows Directory (temp files and other such....)
A good screen rotation utility would be nice - I use Mobipocket for WM for reading ebooks and it also has the nice side effect of rotating the WinMo display (if you rotate the display within MobiPocket it keeps the WinMo display rotated after you exit the reader) *** side note to ask MobiPocket to enable rotation in the desktop version of their tool (funny that they didn't think to put it in there - if enough people harangue them from this forum maybe?) - which I also have running on the Vista side and it sets my teeth on edge to know that i can't rotate the display...grrr.... ****
So I am ok on the screen rotation - but maybe others dont want to install Mobipocket........
Anything that would help battery life -- power miser settings set as default in most things that you might otherwise have to configure --
Lean and mean........
thanks for the current state - which rocks!
Shame on HTC for crippling such a neat device.
regards
Sudipta

I'm registering all requests and also lean on to a clean rom.

lean for me too
first, thanks to all the ROM cooks. i have tried almost all of them and am now using thaihugo's latest. i haven't had this much fun configuring and reconfiguring a machine since installing Slackware 1.1 in 1994.
what a sad loser, i am. well, insomniac anyway.
i'd like a really lean ROM because i like to install my own selection of stuff: pocketxpdf, tcpmp. quickmenu, putty. i don't even need Activesync or the built in e-mail client and calendar. for me, it would be great if anything that i could easily install myself was left out.

Is it possible to include 800X480 resolution driver to fully utilize the screen. Thank you very much!

I've followed your requests here:

wow, fast.. Maybe a easy way, to customize your ROM with standard European language packs.
(french, italia, german, spain,..

I Would prefer a ROM BASE on WinMo 6.1 as UDK's rom was cause it worked fine with haret.
I Woud like a complete Rom With:
- GPS Fix
- QuickGPS
- Phonestuff enabled
- Google Maps (if you have it working with GPS)
- Opera
- TouchFlo (if possible =)
Apps: (prefered as cabs to install them when needed)
- IM Slick
- Mobile Office
- Total Commander
- Finger Keyboard (If it will will work)
- GoogleMaps
- Adobe Reader
I liked your roms but they wont work with haret.
So hopefully will work in future !

dont know if others want but i like realvga 96dpi on the shift's screen

SnapVue Cab
What I really want (and have no clue how to do) is the SnapVue as a today plugin cab.
Love your Light ROM (it is my current one). However, I love SnapVue as a concept also. Some things to think about/fix (?):
-The clock allows you to open it to the alarms and Time Zones (I am using a plug in similar to the SnapVue Clock/Calender)
-The "Settings" button is remapped to programs OR opens a shortcut tab for key programs (customisable)
-The Plugin does not "steal" all the real estate. Currently it covers the scroll bar so you can not add other plugin above or below it. This is very irritating (particularly for me who has several plugins).
Currently, I can only get SnapVue (with other ROMS) to work with other plug-ins if I use RealVGA. However, using RealVGA then stops my spb Travel Assistant working (don't understand why).
Food for thought
Cheers

even lighter if possible!
I am using Age of Reason, and it is fantastic - I now even have space to store a bit of my own audio and video. I have also just installed the new YouTube WM application from m.youtube.com which works but has very jerky motion.
I am using TCPMP, so have no use for WMP. I also do not use ActiveSync, so if that was optional, it would save me some space (as well as having to kill it from time to time).
I still think that any item that is available in a simple CAB install might as well be left out, unless it takes up less space by burning it into the ROM.
Thanks again for all your efforts.

Actually, removing this component will make you lose memory, so it's better to keep them. Don't ask me why, but it is this way. WMP and activesync are system components...

Need i say more? Thanks for this great ROM! Age of reason is on my shift and it works great!

Updating my Xperia, need suggestions for ROM, software etc. :D

So, I've decided to reflash my Xperia after I played with some of the settings and managed to make the whole thing really slow, choppy and buggy. There's nothing wrong with the device, I've just messed things up a bit. Nothing to worry, I'm not a newbie with stuff like this, just a bit over-enthusiastic and overconfident at times.
So, to the point, I'm looking for better alternatives to the ROM and software I already have. I'll give you a quick run-down of the stuff I have, the stuff I love and the stuff I never use with my Xperia.
The stuff I have:
-SEX1 R3.61 Barebone ROM (and all the apps et al that came with it) with SEX1cons F v3
-SPB Mobile Shell 3.x (the newest one ATM with the Weather widget)
-G-Alarm
-Opera Mobile (newest Beta)
-Opera Mini
-Pocket Player
-Google Maps
-VistaHide Battery Gauge
-Some YouTube stuff I would use if they worked properly (which they don't, partially thanks to me)
The stuff I love:
-The SPB Mobile Shell above all else. If someone would make a ROM based on the Shell alone, I would flash my Xperia with it immediately. It's got the most conventional interface in any operating system I've ever come across. I just love it.
-G-Alarm. Never has waking up been so easy. (OK, it's still not easy, but at least I do get up nowadays. )
-The conversation-style SMS
-The both Opera browsers (when they work, which is less often than I'd like)
-The tweaked camera of the SEX1 ROM
-Google Maps. I've lost count how many times I would have lost without it.
-The "notes" function.
-Messenger
-The music and video playing capabilities of the device (regardless of programs. I use Pocket Player out of habit and WMP for video playback because the PP can't handle videos all that well)
-VistaHide Battery Gauge & the fancy SEX1cons
The stuff I never use and would like to get rid off or at least hide/disable somehow:
-All the GPS garbage. QuickGPS etc. I have no GPS devices and I'm not about to buy any. Google Maps is more than enough for me.
-E-Mail. I use E-Mail so seldom anyway, I haven't even bothered to set up an account on my Xperia.
-Panels. They were fun in the beginning, but nowadays I prefer apps to panels. I don't even remember when was the last time I pressed the "X Panel"-button on purpose. Not useless, but unnecessary to me as I never use them anyway.
So, the thing I'm asking is what would be the best choices for a new ROM and whether there's some software I should consider adding or replacing some of my old apps with? For me, a ROM is just something to install SPB Mobile Shell over, so there's no need for a fancy interface or loads of apps or anything. Just the bare essentials; a fast and stable ROM plus some of the basic apps (calculator et al I seldom use, but couldn't live without). I'm not a conservatist, so I'm not afraid to abandon any of the stuff I have for something better if there is.
Also, as I obviously have to backup my PIM data, do most of the backup apps out there function correctly with the conversation-style SMS messaging?
Give me a hand here, guys, I know your collective brainpower and knowledge far exceeds mine, that's why I asked you in the first place. Thanks in advance of any tips, suggestions etc. you could give me.

Hey, if I wouldn't need the help I wouldn't have asked. It's a sign of respect, you know? That I trust in your knowledge? You don't need to answer to anything. Even small opinions and pieces of information are more than welcome.

I recently flashed my X1i, tbh it was piss easy, just install hardspl and copy the image to ur SD card!
I would suggest trying EnergyRom, or if u need Jack's 4.x full if u need asian language support
SPB Mobile shell 2.0 is was my favourite, but that was easily replaced by Touchflo3d!
The rest of the apps u listed u can easily install afterwards.
btw there's an entire forum section dedicated to X1 ROM's, so u're prob posting in the wrong place

As I told, I'm not a newbie with this stuff. It's pretty dang easy, it's just that as you guys've been here longer than I, you naturally know more about the different ROMs and software than I do. I'm not asking you how to flash or anything, I'm asking you which ROM would best suite my needs and whether or not I should replace some of the apps I've been using so far with something better.
I took a quick look at the EnergyRom and if the author knows his stuff (which it seems), it seems like a cool pile-o'-bytes. I'll take it into consideration.
The rest of the apps u listed u can easily install afterwards.

Yup, I know. If you read my post through, I just asked you people for possible better alternatives for the apps I've been using so far. I know how to install stuff and anything.

I was thinking that, too, but then decided to post here as I'm not specifically talking about ROMs alone, but the whole device's software in general.

I agree with Mjollnir1983, jackleung's "Jack V4.x Lite" would most likely be a good choice for you. I also agree that Touch Flo 3D is better the SPB Mobile Shell, but that's your personal choice. If you wanted to try TF3D, "Jack V4.x Medium" would be a good combination of a clean rom and TF3D. I personally like agent_47's "Valkyrie v3.x FireStorm", because it is has TF3D and is a fast rom with some useful apps. However it may have to many apps for you. If you decide you like agent_47's roms, then "Xperio" might work out alright. It doesn't have TF3D, but still has some good HTC stuff that makes it look better and is a more clean rom than firestorm. Links are bellow. Also I thought I would mention that QuickGPS is something you might want to keep, because it helps Google Maps get a satellite lock quicker. It doesn't always work great, but their are some fixes if your having problems with it.

I tried the TouchFLO 3D on my friend's cell and it seemed okay after a short while of getting used to. Not that different from SPB Mobile Shell and no disadvantages whatsoever compared to it. I'll give it a shot. Thanks a million, guys.
Now, the biggest question is whether or not there's a PIM backup app available that works correctly with the conversation-style SMS. (At the moment every time I restore a backup, it only restores the messages I've sent, not received. It's the messaging app itself that is responsible, cos I've tried several backup apps.) Is there, or is it just the messaging app I've tried to tweak that is responsible?
About the other apps... Well, I'll do some research myself. I'll probably stick with at least some of them for a while.

Um... I don't know man, there are thousands of apps. I think ROMs are down to personal preference and you should just try many of them to find the best one for you. From the top of my head:
Pocket Music - best music player IMHO.
SkyFire - nice broswer for flash heavy sites.
HTC mp3 trimmer WVGA - perfect for making your own ringtones.
SKTools, advanced config and xperia tweak - best tune up software there is.
SPB Online - online games, radio and TV.
MyMobiler - lets you control the X1 from your PC.
Innobec Side Window - use the X1 as a secondary screen for your PC.
Resco Explorer and Photo Viewer.
SPB Weather
SPB Insight - RSS feeds.
HTorch - pocket flashlight.
WinMobileTorrent
Core Player - best player for every video file except mp4 (use WMP for that).
MS Reader - E-Book reader.
Skype mobile
MorphGear - perfecr emulator for every old game possible.
WK Task - best task manager/launcher/x button.
Homescreen ++ - lets you check your temp, cpu speed, ram usage and more, directly on your homescreen. You can havega taskbar launcher as well. This app is a must.
There are many more, but you have to be more specific about what you want.
Cheers

The stuff I never use and would like to get rid off or at least hide/disable somehow:
-All the GPS garbage. QuickGPS etc. I have no GPS devices and I'm not about to buy any. Google Maps is more than enough for me.

You have the internal GPS of the Xperia!!!
Google maps use A-GPS need data connection to work. The normal GPS is free (exception of software and maps).

@orelsi: Thanks, I'll take a look at those shortly.
kremlincrackers: The more you know...
Thanks a lot, I wasn't aware of that at all. That means I should keep the QuickGPS, then.
EDIT: I started flashing the Jack V4.x Medium ROM. Let's see what this thing's capable of...

What you're looking for is a similar version of what I have,
You could have any light/fast ROM, I prefer to use a tweaked ROM with cache and memory enhancements. At present I am using WM 6.5 but it's even more stable with 6.1
Then SPB Shell 3, as for applications adn in addition:
- Removed X Panels and remapped panel key to Resco Explorer.
- TOMTOM this is essential, if you wish not to spend money on it there are some free alternatives, although not as good.
- Resco Explorer and Registry editor
- SBP Television, Insight, Snapshot and Imageer.
- My Mobiler
- Finger Keyboard
- World Card Mobile
- Rhodium Dialer
Cumps

Okay, fellas, thanks for the help!
I tried the ROMs mentioned above, but finally settled for the awesome Touch X ULTIMATE X-TREME 10.1 Original Green which was suggested to me by a friend of mine. I can't praise it enough. I've used 8-12 ROMs (including big names like Valkyrie, Touch-IT and SEX1 R3) in the past and it's ultimately the fastest and most stable of them. As long as it keeps running as well as it is ATM, I seriously doubt I'll ever change the ROM again. The only tweaks I had to make were adding a Programs-tab to the TF3D and removing all the Panel Manager stuff while rebinding the panel key to Pocket Player.
Give it a shot, guys. You might fall in love just like I did.

Register, participate and enjoy the most stable bug-free winmo 6.5 in my opinion.
Clean and ready to customize at owner's discretion.

24-11-2010 X2 Rom Port (continuing R3AA35-010b work) - 6.5.29002

Hello, I've used "R3AA35-010b" ROM for many months but the main developer has stops to continue the development.
So I've started to work on this ROM from the last release.
ORIGINAL (but old) thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587113

- Core OS: 29002
Removed:

INSTALLATION NOTES:
It takes not more than 5 minutes after flashed.
FIRST BOOT after flashed:
Probably your device will seem stucked with TOP status-bar visibile with normal status icons but with white HOME page.
Don't worry, just touch one of these icons on top and Titanium will be displayed!
JUST for first boot after flashed!
COMMON ISSUES:
I've inherited this single issue from previous developer: sometime the "Explore File" application freeze and it's necessary to restart the phone.
I suggest to use Total Commander, Resco Explorer or other File Manager to surf throught your folders and then remove "Explore File" shortcut from "\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs" folder to avoid to run it accidentally.

Looks promising. Will test it when it cames out

Great! We hope a full working X2 ROM Port in our X1 devices!! Keep this work!

agree, one clean and one with app
off course both with 3g dialer
wait for the release

And for all the heavens! Don't forget support for MMS!

Maybe you can make it multilanguage in the future?

would be nice SlideView with working whole video playback

Can you add some unicode font. because I'm from vietnam

emandt - great work!
My suggestion would be NOT adding apps into ROM (unless it is necessary for specific ones to work) and NOT removing the generally built-in ones (unless there are new versions available, eg. Opera). Plain, pure almost-original WM...

hi..... it is a great news and thanks ..all x1 users would love to have nice and fast x2 rom in x1.. i agree with you the panel manager is a resource drainer . maping x button to task manager or comm manager will be great ...... fdc task manager has reg edit in it...... bye man... good luck......

It looks promising! Can't wait for it.

Well sounds great! I still use the old version as well cause its 1 of fastest roms out there. I cant wait ^^

nice! thumbs up

Waiting for release Should be a great ROM.
My requests:
Map X-panel button to StartMenu
Nitrogen as music player
TCPMP as video player
Opera Mini 5 beta 2 for surfing the web (beta 2 is faster than Opera Mini 5 when opening pages; Opera Mini 5 looks better but is way slower and don't display all the pages)
Opera Mobile 10 and Internet Explorer should be installed, because there are some pages that can't be opened with one or another (or provide cabs to users)
Office - provide cab
HTC Usb2PC
Clean the apps that aren't usually used, and provide cabs for them.
Cheers!
