Ah! I'm back! New roms, new propositions, new mind! - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading

Hi!
Somebody important on this forum have sent my a himalaya!
I'm very happy of this, thank you, thank thank thank!!!
Now, when I have two phones, one himalaya which can't be used normally, and normal today use himalaya where I can test more stabler builds as normal use I can cook anywhere, everyday, everytime, always, and non-stop!
so I will COOK, COOK, COOK, COOK, COOOOOOK !!
Thank you muckelmaus !! You keept himalaya alive!
When I was no phone human (lol) I cooked a new rom, added so many useful things, etc!
Already built-in things:
- EzInput as default
- new graphics (more better)
- QuickMenu which can be used WITH homeycomb, you can use quickmenu and honeycomb at one moment!
- MS Tag reader
- Ms marketplace
- many fixes
I would build in manila
Here goes your propositions!
What you would have in your perfect rom?
Answer here, I will do anything to make best roms here! Ever!

Fine, that you happy again.
Do you like the aluminium cover? So, now you can sit down on your device, without braking it.
But I have to inform you: Be carefully, it does not swim! It even dives a lot better now!
I have a suggestion for a new signature for you:
Hey guys, take more corn flake, and less milk!

Done
Alluminium cover looks like bulletproof I use it

do not want.
things that should not! be in a ROM are -error reporting and customer feedback and marketplace.
and if u know how to remove them in a kitchen ie, which files, folders, .dll or .exe to delete please tell!
the amount of ROM's that are ruined and wasted by still having one of them installed especially having the icons for their tab in startmenu.
DAMN DAMN error reporting , customer feedback and marketplace

My perfect rom would be a wm 6.1 rom that is fast and has HTC Home and a honeycomb start menu.
AWESOME!!!! Or get HTC Home working in wm6.5

Firstly Welcome back Aeroflyluby
My ideal ROM will include the following
1: MS Office - A must include (I usually use alot of documents especially for work and University)
2: Adobe PDF - this is not essential but very useful in my view
3: Palringo - (I love it since you can login to MSN, Yahoo, Googletalk etc)
4: TOM TOM - As I travel alot to Europe with my little angel car I am more like dependent on TOMTOM - Only the program is needed I can get the maps with no issues
5: PIM Backup - *Most Important* since you can't tell when your hima dies out (talking with experience so this Utility is a big MUST.
6: PSSHUTXP - I use this when I get some problem with 'Hima getting stuck' and its quite handy - not very important though
7: Task Manager - One of the greatest things which should be on the main programs page and not under any folder such as System
8: A very simple Contact List just like we have in 6.1 and in some 6.5. The one I have right now I hate it but I don't know how to remove it and put the one I like so I left it as it is.
9: NoThreadedSMS - This is a must for me since I hate the conversational view of SMS - It just doesn't look natural to me so NoThreadedSMS please
10: Although I have been adding FastCleanup ever since I started upgrading Hima - I am not sure what it does to be honest - sometimes after browsing internet it doesn't show anything deleted yet at some time it does. Anyhow that is an optional for me.
11: The icons on the taskbar should be the same colour as of the background i.e. the buttons should not stand out with their individual background colours. The background (wallpaper) should be simple and not too shiny that you can't see a thing
Rest all is the usuall stuff which I am not too keen on changing ..

ROM isn't storage.
There is 2 chips on mainboard there, ROM, which can be read only in critical situations, like installing a new system on EMPTY doc.
DOC, which is storage, it is 64 mb (i guess it is because rom with compression takes 32 mb lol), partitioned as BIN-EXT-STOrAGE, but many people merge ext and storage part in one partition.

More Cleaner Version OF TOFLOCK WM6

Guyz please post out the S/W U want in ur Himalaya's(toflock wm6 rom)..and the software u dnt want
here we go again... guys do you really think the new rom is full of junk?... its a clean version for god sake...
Hey....I just asked..

As for me the only two things you could remove are Office and VoIP, but it depends on what you're using your PDA for. As for me it's a phone and mobile office.
If you want to cook your own ROM, just cook it. I said some time ago that I'll release my own, too, but only when I get it really full working. Besides... if you want to, you could wait a bit more, I'm preparing a kitchen with Anichillus.
OK... back to Platform Builder
Gud luck preparin the kitchen...Yeah probably..will chk the dump at nite
Hi,
Add: Shutdown soft, PIM Backup soft, Speakerphone, IM+ or Agile messenger, some *.tsk and rings
Remove: VoIP, Messenger, Windows Live.
but that would make it a less clean version
it would just make it a version which had the software you
like included
Yeah Rudegear is rite..I checked out the dump..Only Ms word.ppt,exel,onenote and more can be removed.
How about creating a list of possible in/excludes with some additional info per item what it would eat in ROM space, if it eats RAM, clock ticks, battery life, clutters registry and so on. Then we can all just vote:
1 in, 2 out, 3 in, 4 in and so on. If lots of us would vote you could just add up the average wish list and bake the most popular ROM ever.
I believe I'd love to see a ROM with Word, Excell, PPT left out. The 3D Cube flash Touchflo clone looks like an appealing replacement for that space, but only if it's stable, doesn't drain my battery and doesn't slow my Hima down.
I agree that that would make it far from a clean ROM, but for me a "clean" ROM is one that doesn't come full of stuff I never use. IMHO you can also throw out the standard games, sample pictures and such crap. But tiny tools and utilities like a registry editor, over/underclocker, personal data backupper in in in please.

I believe that ^^rac tried to use the original HTC TouchFlo. And I believe that will only run smoothly on Hima with a rewritten Hima dll driver.
But there is also a clone Touchflo around that uses no dll, see

What you get: The stock ROM with some crap removed -> more free storage and a little bit faster system. Nothing more, nothing less!
What is removed:
- All CABs, provided seperately
- HTC Taskmanager (I like SPB PocketPlus better)
- Demo movies, sounds etc.
- Transcriber
- Skins
- Sony Ericsson Start Page
- Some more things I don't remember
Free memory:
Data: 338/365MB
Program: 152/200MB

ROM: http://rapidshare.com/files/165717511/german_lite.rar
Additional CABs: http://rapidshare.com/files/166035304/german_lite_add.rar
//edit: Version 1.1
Just a quick update.. new Version based on the R2.. SE ROM.
Removed: All CABs, Demo Movies, Sounds, Pictures, SE Startpage.
RADIO is NOT INCLUDED. So if you didn't already flash the newest SE Firmware, do so first!
I don't have much time at the moment so that's all for now. But it works

yes i am also interessted maybe something like jake did with an uk rom Jack's V1.0"1" WWE please someone start todo it, i am dont know that things , maybe i should try it out hahaha
regards cHarOn
Congrats. No wonder why the wording look so familiar.
Actually, the error msg could have a easy workaround by making a faked panel executable w/ something like QuickMenu. But since the lite image is just my stepping stone for full image and I will have the panel installed anyway (by UC automatic install instead of wasting rom space), I will just leave it as if.
jake can you describe how to exchange nf to nf 3.5 maybe you can help him, i really like your work jack

Can I just take the ...nf35 folder or what it's called from your rom jackleung and remove the one without 35? or is that language dependent? Just a quick yes/no would be great
I played a bit around with the phone and my impression is that jackleungs rom is quite a bit faster, don't know if that's because of the panels or the registry tweaks, but i doubt I can do much abaout it, for that I just don't have enough knowledge of how this whole WinMo stuff works
thx for it

Yes, you can replace the original netcf folder w/ mine.
Removal of panel helps a bit, and there are lot more other tweaks and stuff removal to squeeze more speed from x1. You can use SPB benchmark to get benchmark result as well.
I realy like this Rom thanks a lot, bute there´s no Radio Panel can you provide it as a .cab file?
seems like the panels are there but not linked anymore???
regards cHarOn
Only the "Sony Ericsson Panel" and "Fish Panel" are there but not linked (I don't use them). The others are removed/not installed. But I will upload the cabs today, so you can install them if you want to.
can u do a much lighter version? no panels for example?
No sry, I can't.. I just don't know how and don't have too much free time at the moment either. This rom is just a "first aid" kit for those who want to get rid of the stupid mediafile demos etc. taking up their free space ;-)
I would be glad if some experienced member could take over the "development" of german customized roms, but so long I think this is better than nothing ;-)
The hard spl doesn`t work - Yes it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.52.OliNex.MFG (this is SSPL!).
but then the error message is coming and no
"Hard-SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done"
Any idea ?
Greetings from Frankfurt
Thx,
Where can I download the HTC Taskmanager with the german language (mui?)
as cab-file?
Karsten
i found an working cab-file.
*updated to v1.1*
I use your ROM since the 1st release and I love it
Are you going to release an update the next time with R3A or the new WM 6.5? If yes, i will wait for your great work!
Regards
µ
same question^^
Are you going to release an update the next time with R3A?

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 !

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...

Stock 2.07.401.1 ROM trimmed to Lite

Hello everyone,
OK, here is my first go at ROM cooking.
I was looking for a very basic ROM with only must-have applications inside, so that I can later install the software I *do* use. Eventually I gave up, as all the ROMs and even the Lite'est ones had too much features / utilities. I thought I would then take the latest official ROM available (for stability purpose) and trim it down to minimum elements (for size reduction).
Herewith is what I ended up with:
http://rapidshare.com/files/3829100....25.91_Signed_Ship_trimmed_by_aziraphale_.rar
This in no way can be called a "cooked" ROM, I still know nothing about cooking, but it is a heavily trimmed stock ROM, created by the use of RhodiumKitchen_0.1, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560519.
Thanks Dave for this Tutorial and all the credits go to respective tools' developers.
How to install:
- unrar
- connect with ActiveSync (or loader in USB mode)
(goes without saying Your device must be Hard-SPL'd or modified any other way to allow ROM flashing - search the forum)
- execute RomUpdateUtility.exe
There are some residual unnecessary and/or invalid shortcuts in the Start Menu,
as well as some empty folders, I manually removed them by the use of EveryWAN personal edition - it's free and it's easy to use.
The OS is 6.5 b21887
I have trimmed the following from the stock ROM:
HTC applications:
- appointment editor
- clear storage (can do Hard reset in normal way)
- facebook / engine
- format SD (can't a PC do that?)
- CoPilot + install path folder (I use TomTom)
- birthday
- bookmark
- messaging client (hate it)
- jblend
- jetcet
- manila all
- opera (when You install newer version You end up with 2 )
- sliding sounds
- social networks engine
- streaming media
- tv out
- youtube
- volume control
- google maps (same as with opera)
- setting improvement
- text selection
- wifi wizard
- browser snapshot
- ie6 enhancement
- world card mobile (BCR)
- rss hub
System:
- live search
- wm widgets
- win live
- welcome center
- transcriber
- skymarket
- one note
- remote desktop
- themes except Rock and Republic
- my phone (skybox)
- livesearch
I do not expect this to become very useful to most of the forum visitors/members, but perhaps there is someone out there who have not found his/her way around to make ROMs him(her)self yet, but would like to get the very basic ROM with no extras.
Very hard to define "must have" apps. I personally prefer WM6.1 over WM6.5. Bad thing is you can't install every app\functionality by using CAB's. Otherwise you could create a ROM of around 40MB. Mine is currently ~70MB and is just great for my personal use.
Might be handy to add to the first post that your ROM is actually a WM6.5 ROM
Good luck on the cooking!

You said it yourself - the "must-have" are the ones that can not be added by .cabs and will compromise phone functionality (like the HTC dialer skin will enable video calls, thus must stay)

the "2.07.401.1" implies 6.5, but added to description anyway, thanks
Good effort dude I did much the same a month or so ago with an amalgamation of Ervius Visual Kitchen (so easy) and JoshKoss kitchen. Didn't go as savage on the removal of stuff though, main objective was to get rid of the HTC Messaging
Just tried May 1st 23xxx EnergyROM with MaxManila but it cuts off MP3 playback in standby (a big no-no for me) and hung once already while texting MaxManila is nice though, and the Facebook tab is good. I usually stick to 21xxx but I must say 23xxx is growing on me with the latest build. Gonna try Cell Pro next.
I like the latest stuff but keeping up with it all is a nightmare if you're cooking. Wouldn't mind the latest 2.5 Manila packages and latest 21xxx / 23xxx SYS, also would try cooking in MaxManila, and I never managed to cook in "mark all as read" for emails properly. Need to learn how to hack on Manila. Also I forgot to cook in a task manager haha Ameba is quite nice on the latest EnergyROM. I definitely get the "why cook it in if you can get it from Marketplace / OMarket and auto update it" though, totally with you on that one instead of flashing a new ROM every week. I usually flash a new one every month or so, once I find one I like. But for the last month or so I've been running my own. It wasn't the fastest ROM ever though
It's a lot of work to make a decent ROM, and it's finding the time innit. I'm a big fan of JoshKoss but he hasn't released anything in a while
Anyway good effort dude the more the merrier I say
Also just a quick note I did get the Standby Of Death a couple of times on my cooked ROM. Very rare but still. No idea why. Don't know if it happens with the stock ROM or not.
Would like to know how to totally remove HTC messaging, sometimes when texting via Manila it would still give the conversation view which runs like a dog when you have 4,800 messages hehe
And the speakerphone sometimes screwed up - I could hear the other party but they couldn't hear me.

Before going through the trouble of surgically removing the rudimentary software myself, I have tried a few "professionally" (read: respect, not sarcasm) cooked Energy and Leo ROMs, most of them VERY recent, but I found them SOOO packed with tweaks and features, that it would take me ages just to discover all the extras. I am more on the simplier side, don't fix something which is not broken, but I just HATE Manila (expect a lot of angry protestors here) and I am not big fan of HTC customisations either. Hence was this ROM done and I am so far rather happy with it.
There is no sign of HTC messaging which I can find, and I can install and use only necessary (for me) bits of software.
For "mark all as read" there is a really good .cab on the forum, called "safeboxextender", it works like a charm and I don't mind having to install it separately (i.e. not. cooked-in).
Having come from 1.86 ROM to 2.07 I do notice that device keeps hanging even without being put to sleep, but I can not figure out the dependency yet (I mean so far it looks rather random).

Yeah me too, those guys have spent probably 100's if not 1000's of hours on learning this stuff, then putting it together in a manner that pleases a lot of different people. Major kudos. I sometimes get the feeling though particularly with chefs who release almost every day, for a number of different devices, that the care and testing leaves something to be desired. Quite often more does not = better as you know

Yeah I tried converting that to an EXT and cooking it in but it didn't work I know it can be done though cos a lot of ROMs have it built in. To be honest I don't really have enough time anymore to dedicate to my own ROM so I'm trying out a few others.

It's weird ... Mine's never hung while running but I've had the SOD two or three times. More research required, until then just stick the pen up it's arse haha
Could you release an additional version with a later build SYS (ie: 23XXX or 28XXX)? A lot of people use 6.5.5 or 6.5.3 and there are no Lite options for those later builds.

i'd love to, but....
as i said i am no cook and i only did it for myself and cared enough to share with anyone who'd love to have it "as is".
also, see the respective later-release ROM threads to see how many bugs are there still and ROM-cooking gurus are eliminating them one by one and it's a long and painstaking process. i have neither time, nor ability to do that.
so i guess this is as much as i can do so far.
I've been using the ROM for a few days now and it is great. Everything works perfect. Bluetooth, tethering, wifi, data connections; it all works great with no bugs Thanks for sharring. I love a clean ROM.

very good!
Well I think I have ran the gamet of tezts and this ROM is perfect. It is fast and stable trimmed down well but still offering everything a user needs. I am on AT&T in the states and it works perfect. The only thing I cant figure out is how do I shut of the vibration when using the on screen key board? And can I add a picture mail program to my device? Would it function properly and could you recommend one?

that would be by manually editing registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\TFLOSettings]
"ApVibrationOn"=dword:00000000
it is 1 by default, change it to 0 and you are all set

this here i am not sure what you mean?
whatever you add (install) SHOULD function properly, if it would have on a stock ROM,
as i have not made any changes to remaining ROM bits
edit: if you open Albums and select any picture You want, it will open in full screen, tap it, and 4 icon menu comes up, 3rd from the left with 2 arrows > tap this one and there is an option *mail*.
select the account (i would use email) and voila! is that what you were looking for?
Thanks Aziraphale_l I was talking about MMS. I want to send and receive picture mail with text messaging. Right now I cant send or recieve pictures except with email. But of course my friends do not have pda phones so we use MMS picture mail.
I was guessing this is what you said you removed. I looked for arcsoft for 6.5 and I see that HTC is now using "HTC Message" so I will go look for that. Thanks again.

HTC messaging, which I understand handles MMS functionality in our devices, has evolved into... well, something I did not like any more, so it had to go.
I personally don't use MMS, so it is no big deal for me.
Your ArcSoft link below - I see no reason why it will not work, give it a try? You can then share Your findings with the rest of us.
P.S. Battery life on this ROM is the best I have ever seen!
I have tried a dozen ROMs and I usually stick with them for a month or so I guess. They are either lite with bugs or heavy with eye candy and bugs. So far I haven't had a single issue with yours. I think many developers get in to much of a hurry. I appreciate the great job you did on this.
I notice today that to get from one task to another, one program to another or one event to another I use fewer steps because everything is simple and functional. Thanks again.
I cooked in Arcsoft_MMS_5_2_8_45 on mine, after pulling out HTC Messaging, if I remember rightly it worked but it's very rare I use MMS anyway. If you install it afterwards, re-run carrier provisioning (or whatever it's called ... where it sets up your network settings automatically) and it should configure Arcsoft for ya.
Right now I'm running EnergyROM 23xxx from 1st of May but battery is suffering and it crashes a bit, not mega fast either. It is a nice flashy ROM tho I used to hate 23xxx and much prefer 21xxx but lately I'm kinda undecided.
Thanks for the haptic feedback registry edit; works great.

F.A.Q
1.Rom does not have any theme?
Choose the one you like. I recommend Condor GT black. Search on the forum you will get the link
2.Rom does not have any performance drivers?
Choose the one that you feel works best for you.
I highly recommend installing one of the drivers available from here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442712
I suggest neo_2007_3, but the roms works well with other drivers as well.
GFX boost is also great but it also drains battery a lot faster.
3.It does not have browser apart from IE?
You choose, which browser you want to use. Opera is highly recommended, but you can also go with sky fire, bolt, etc.
4. Some useful softwares.
Add Call history tab to manila
Touch InCall tweak
BsB Tweaks
HD Tweak
Opera
Skyfire
Side2Play-Music player
Total Commander
Change screen(New version)
HTC eReader
B&N eReader
PIM Backup
Nodata
G-Alarm
SmartLock - Automatic Screen Lock
LUMOS - Complete HTC Auto-Backlight replacement
NaviComputer – Offline GPS Mapping Software
Other

entire xda-community
My Story:
Well i loved the chef who created great roms, but i always felt that, i am better off without all the crap is loaded on it.
I wished there was a way, I could just install stuff that I want. Thats when I decided, i need to built my own rom.
Journey so far has not been that good, hundreds of flashes and bugs still continue.
Some chefs were helpful, and some chefs behavior was so bad, made me feel like really, its just a damn rom you build, you are not god.
Also these chef forget, that what they are, is because of us, who follow them and praise them like addicts.
But not the entire community is bad. xda for me stands for sharing, growing and enjoying. And I wish community grows always.
Data Services in settings tab doesn't work
A lot of the other settings don't work either, in ms office there's no word or excel just onenote
Sounds like a good idea - there's always so much stuff on cooked roms I never use.
I have downloaded and will give this a go tomorrow - thansk for sharing.

This is a strip out rom.
You need to install office and other softwares by urself.
I will try to compile a list and post it here, but in the meanwhile please use search button.
I am looking to resolve the error asap, however, other things wok on the rom.
as an alternative i suggest using,
by click start--> settings...
for anything you need to change.
data services = settings--> connections -->account manager.
click on top bar then under notification window click battery icon for changing display and screen settings...
Dialer
I cant make a call
Try to dial and nothing happen
I cant figure out is it the ROM or something i did
I will see, and update.
Otherwise fast, smooth and best memory management
Thanks
I made hard reset and dialer working perfectly
I am downloading my stuff one by one to find out what cause this problem
I am so sorry, its great rom
i am using the rom on my phone and the dialer works perfectly.
i just had some issues when cookie monster was installed, the dialer just lagged.
i unistalled cookie monster and will test it.
your rom is fast and good but the home button is not working . when you daill the talk ,end call and the keypad are big
if you can make 21903 build it will be good
thanks
home button is not working? can you give more details coz i am using the rom and it is working for me.
regarding dialer being big, i tried using different dialers in my beta, but, it used to lag after call is dc. this is the best dialer i can use.
i will certainly work on other 21**, 23** versions, once i get more time.
Found the reason
Dear shah1237:
Dialer is perfect till i made contact restore, whatever the Prog (PIM, Sprite and SPB) then dialer went crazy:
-no call history
-network resetting
Please give solution that your ROM is very good and improved amazingly
Thanks
Update: the same happen even without restoring contacts, once new contact saved and dialed, the problem there
I think its due to cooked dialer.

Thank you, I'll test it in weekend!
very good job thank u.i put the graphics but i dont see any change,the same as before i install it.i would see any different somewhere or no?
but it is very good job
thank you very much.
i hope i succeeded in delivery a rom that users like me want.
i really have not done any benchmarks so cannot provide support for installing drivers.however i do feel, the drivers increase the overall performance, even though impact is not visible to the naked eye.And CFC manila is certainly fast, so i don't knw how much more responsive the UI can be.

but i expect users to search the xda for additional softwares.
