Awesome rom
Stable and all included
Nice work
I cannot unlock Ext flash with this rom, it was accesable on Dutty's rom
Hi Chamelion any possibility to put a link for this rom, in another friendly site like megaupload, I also don't like rapidshare at all. Thanks
So far great ROM..
Thanks for not including cyberon vc it makes it much easier to get ms vc going.
Everything else seems to work just fine, but voice dialling ain't working (Error opening the short cut). This same happened with lvsw's version (and with Black 3.0).
How do I fix this?
[edit]
Never mind, just installed Cyberion Voice Dialer.cab

got an even friendlier site called zimuhost.getmyip.com
there's a high speed HTTP mirror posted in the forum that the original posters link links to. i'm anti rapidshare, hence me starting up the file hosting thing!
I found another problem, that I never had before When I change anything via control panel Today, then nothing really happend, only after SR.This is odd, because if I want to use SPB products, then I must SR device each time, I make any changes. Till now I did not read or search on forum about this problem (or if somebody actually have same problem as I), I going to flash device again only if problem did not dissapear, then I start looking for answers.
PS: with original LVSW last version this problem was not.
/update\
now I find some posts about this prob here till now, no sollution.
For those of you who want ms vc over headset.
Its probably best to not have the headset paired so unpair it and just add it after all the steps.
1.) Install MS VC 1.6
2.) Install attached .cab
3.) In programs launch BT Voice Command Config
4.) Check enable
5.) Click save
6.) Click Exit
7.) Turn off phone
8.) Turn on phone
9.) Pair bt headset
I take no credit for this program it was done by XCSdM and later modified by ZaJules..
This works perfect for me no other tricks or reg edits zilch, nada, nothing. You might want to set voice command to button 5 though.
Is the x-button works like it should with elf version? I mean does the exclusive click working & what build is in this ROM version? thanks in advance
today not refreshing only after SR
For those who have problem with Today settings, this is reply and solution from LegolasTheElf copied from his forum - thank you
"It's looking like that today screen issue is caused by the X-Button. To remove it, go to the Remove Programs settings applet and remove it. Because of the way this ROM is built, you can remove my additions I'm actually going to be building my ROM's in a different way than anyone else--by using mostly CABs to do the customization rather than imbedding into the ROM itself. IMHO, this is a better design as it allows people to customize their device, and reclaim storage space if they don't like the items I've included in the ROM "

That´s exactly what I´ve tried today and so far so good.... it´s a pity as I liked the new version of x button!! Maybe our great chefs can find a solution at some point...

u can't ..my way of doing it is to uninstall the apps, go to settings/remove programs ..and then install the one here http://rapidshare.com/files/32749891/WLM.rar.html
or another way, is to use sleuth developers variation of this LVSW ROM.. (it is pre-installed with the transparent windows live search bar)

Well, I WAS going to wait for a newer 1774x rom, but, given the fact that this ROM is working so well, I see no reason not to continue to use 17913 to cook my ROM..
So, hang tight for some new Elfishness in the coming days
I know that 4.1 is only just out & I think it's brilliant. I'm spending every evening checking new posts and playing with my phone like never before. So, before the 4.1 thread becomes the next thread with 1200 posts, I thought I'd start a new thread for ideas for 4.2
Tom - before I found the magic that is B&B I was using Wisbar Advance desktop and an application called innesoft address book which had a great feature that when someone called you, their photo was displayed full screen with their name (see thumbnails) rather than just the standard windows window.
Any chance you could devlelop something similar for 4.2 !!!
Cheers

Here is something that may hold you over, I am still trying to figure out how to use the caller id without the actual slide to unlock, bit here is something to tide you over, jsut a thought
Have a pretty much full screen keyboard for texting in landscape mode? The text appears at the top?
Is there a way we can assign a button to lock the phone rather than go thruogh the menu?
Cheers
Anybody knows if it is legal to include trial versions of apps in cooked rom?
Was thinking rom with included sktools, english dictionary of some kind, IM+, resco explorer, spb gprs monitor included on rom would save time and space. Apps included would be trial versions and ppl haveing bought them could just enter activation keys/serials, others could buy app if thy liked it.

This would be a waste of time and energy for most, these Roms are made to be efficient, the least amount of space used so that you as an individual can place your desired programs, once a rom is built there is no removing/uninstalling of any apps, hence the reason to not put trial versions into a rom, I use several of the above mentioned, but to "Bloat" a rom with them would be ineffecient. Best thing to do is install on your sd card, keep all your initial install cabs in one folder and use that as your rebuild folder. Cheers.

Is it not worth remembering that everyone has a different list of killer apps they MUST have on their device?
If Tom & Meschle etc added every app - the rom would only just fit on a 40gb hard disk!!!
To my mind - the idea is that the cooked roms are a basis onto which you install your own apps to make your own device work?
Constanlty asking for new apps to be added to a rom just complicates the issue. Or am I wrong?
something so i can remotly use my desktop via PPC
then im complete
automated network setup like in the O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE rom
Extended timers & alarms application
I'd like to avoid installing SpbTime on each version
Great job!
OK, i agree, rom should be as slim as possible, but why the hell there is cube, psshutXP, PHM regedit/traylaunch, and office mobile on it then?
Could make an ultra lite wersion. (=
P.S. Dont get me wrong, i think 4.1 is great and it is a lot faster than O2. Just throwing around ideas about how to make it better.
with my original post, I was not really asking for a copy of the app, just would like a much bigger photo to pop up with caller id and liked the look of the inesoft one.
Tom - what do you think?
Just trying to make the ROM easier to use, more efficient.
B&B 4.1 is far better than original ROM from this point of view
TouchFlo for example helps to have everything we need with a single finger move..
Phone app is a lot more usable also.
Perhaps also the possibility to customize HTC Home by default, with more options (number of apps in the launcher, ..)
i don't think that is constructive to add as much apps, i can imagine, when it's released, everbody is shouting "this is not good" and "why did you use this app and not the other one"...and so one. I like it clear, not too much apps...but that's my opinion.
If i want it with all apps included then i start (to learn ) cooking my own ROM... IMHO i am very satisfied with the work that Tom is doing for us all. And 4.1 is just released. Enjoy it and let Tom make a break. He is hard working all the time!
Plugins for new version
Alarms extension (SpbTime style)
USB PenDrive emulator (WMstorage style)
Phone call recording (Audio Recorder style)
Thanks for B&B! Great job!
i have a great idea
Why dont we support Tom and all off his hard work and all the other wizards here, and stop complaining or asking for more.
like a bunch of kids in a sweet shop.
Improving File access
What I would like to see is the File Dialog Changer, I don't know who has heard of it but it is very good! Usually when you want to save files or open them in any application you get access to you My Documents folder. Only some smart apps like TCPMP and others have the option to access your entire pda.
File Dialog Changer changes the way you access your files in opening and saving them for every application, it's just 50 KB and you can activate / deactivate it in System Settings.

And about your wish I can only say that there is already Remote Desktop for WM6, I think I've downloaded it in the Wizard forum. Or use PocketVNC, that is the pda version for VNC. I am successfully using that with TightVNC on my computer. I just have to be in range of my WLAN and can turn on my computer by sending a wake on lan signal (not with vnc) and then access my computer through pocketvnc or access the files on my computer.

I think he had a point though. In the whole thread there is not one message of Tom Codon himself. Did you ask what he thinks? Maybe he has a few ideas of his own? After all, it will be his ROM...
Who says it will be B&B v4.2? Why not 4.3 or 5.0? If there will be another version let him take care of the numbers.
Although I don't see much different from the one that was leaked on July 10th...see for yourself

I know this has been/will be asked a million times over, but is there any noticable difference from the July 10 "Leak"?
In the settings screen shown on HTC's website, all information matches exactly the July 10 release.
Please advise.
Opera?
Anyone know if the Official ROM includes Opera, like the july10th did?
Thanks
Do this ROM got the enlarged status icons (volume, battery, etc.) screen when clicking on status icons like on the Telus leaked ROM?
If so, is there any way to remove it?
I tried HKLM->Software->HTC->EnlargeTitleBar->Enable=0 without success.

Yes, it does include Opera Mobile 8.65.....
Curious.
How come the leaked (about a week ago) version is larger than the one just put on the HTC site?
3.03.651.4 (7/10/08) is 78.9mb
3.03.651.4_2 (7/18/08) is 76.6mb?
What (if anything) is missing or changed?
i dont see the download file - just a blank screen with FAQs etc?????
Where did it go?
I'm guessing that it was not supposed to be posted until Monday or something, because at this point it's not up there anymore.
Here is the link to the file off of the HTC site (yes the official site) which was saved in my broswer history:
http://216.139.227.226/RUU_PPST_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.4_2_Radio_3.42.30_AM_NV_2.04_Ship.exe
regarding the difference (from boggsie over at PPCGeeks):
I compared the last two RUU_WWE's and while the 2.nbh file did change, everything else was the same.
I compared the contents of the 2.nbh files and the changes apperar to be very, very minor.
SYS folder is identical (binary comparison) except for \Metadata\default.hv
OEMDrivers folder is identical except for a single DSM file and the corresponding RGU file. The difference in the RGU file was one single line: "ROMVersion"="3.03.651.6" This, in contrast to the filename and the update screen, which both include: "3.03.651.4"
One difference that does draw my attention is that the PPST CAB files have the same names (PPST_08516_7500_SPCS_2.04.sa.CAB) but the files are different and the file contents are quite a bit different.
Other than these items, the differences seem to be limited to the way that the released build was packaged ...
For example, the last leaked build had nested in the OEM\OperatorPKG\Hidden.cab file, another cab file that included "Telus_NIM" which is not present in today's released build.
Best regards,

In my personal experience, GPS is MUCH better than any previous versions and this new version seems to be a bit quicker than the leaked .4

I installed the Telus ROM and it does not include Opera. Also, the Telus ROM does include some crap like Telus Navigator (very bas GPS software) and Telus Icons (Today addon) and Telus theme. They should not be included in Sprint ROM.
can someone please post the Instructions??? Thanks
can you upgrad from the leaked rom to the offical rom with no problems?

geez Louise...
- d/l ROM .exe file into PC
- attach Touch to USB to PC
- get ActiveSync working
- do any backing up that you may require as ALL Touch memory will be wiped
- run ROM .exe file from PC
- follow instructions, take ~10minutes
- sometimes requires an additional HARD reset (TALK+END+reset button) after install is done to bring in Opera and a few other goodies.

Is that ActiveSync step necessary, or is it just useful for the backing up part?

Something must have gone wrong
Upgraded using the download link above
and it worked without a hitch. Thanks!
GPS works like a charm in both Google maps and Live Search maps.
The Opera browser is Opera Mobile. I used Opera Mini, which is free by the way up till now, and I like it a lot better than Opera Mobile so it's a little confusing why they put this version in but then after all.. it is Sprint. Not a lot of advantage to Opera Mobile over IE to me.
The Sprint tech who reset my phone the other day because it was dropping calls all the time said Win 6.1 solves 'a lot of problems' in that area. Who knows. Maybe. Let's hope so. I will say that after they did the hard reset it quit dropping calls so beware that if you load a lot of software it can effect the call dropping. I had Skype, changed the touch flow settings, different java, opera mini, etc etc etc etc etc. so who know's which one messed it up.
GPS is cool. The new Qwerty keyboard is a huuge improvement and I probably won't need TouchPal now. I will load Opera Mini and hopefully it works.
Thanks for the update Sprint/HTC! Thanks too for the links and help above!
p.s. tried opera mini and several minutes after using it the phone locked up. sick of messing with that and don't want to bother loading
another version of java again.
bottom line... Windows Mobile still doesn't have a browser that's worth a crap.
...more
GPS works in Google Maps and Live Search Maps
Works in both for me. Didn't have to change any settings.
I thought it wasn't working at first
In Google Maps you have to have My Location enabled and select Use GPS in the menu
In LiveSearch Maps you have to select Center on GPS in the menu to show your position on map
select View, Lat/Lon to display your position
It takes around 30 seconds to get a lock for me in Redmond, Wa area once I select Use GPS
Google maps it shows it's tracking 6 satellites.
LiveSearch map does not show the number of satellites.
Upgraded smoothly!

I just upgraded from the leaked version to version 3.03.651.4 without a hitch! The only changes I noticed are the Sprint Navigation (actually works), this one has the Opera browser, and it upgraded me from Windows Basic to Professional! Not a bad deal!
The only thing I am noticing so far is I can't connect to the internet. I suspect it's because the current username (located under "Settings>Device Information") show "[email protected]", and should show my actual Sprint email as the username. I think this will change once it's fully provisioned after the ROM upgrade. I'll keep everyone updated on this.
OK guys here it is... Release 2.1
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BK0TO546

NEW IE 6 beta available (fixed and fully functional, flash enabled... very stable so far too )
SYS selection updated
Diamond theme provxml fixed

Hi guys and gals....
I am very sorry that I have not been around or gotten you the updates promised... The honest truth is that I have been going through a lot of difficulties in my personal/financial life and work so I just dropped the ball here... I am working my way back and looking forward to give you guys a new WM6.1 kitchen and will look at the WM6.5 one and see if I can add any value with my version of one of those too... for those who are having trouble I will try and catch up in the next week or so if it is something urgent feel free to PM me.
Again my sincere apologies and hope that everyone understand that I didn't mean to mislead just circumstances have kept me from delivering...

Now THAT is VERY strange... as it is specially optimized for sprint... I must have screwed something up when I adapted the kitchen for popular use rather than just my personal use... I have done some more cleanup/tweaks and updated to build 20931 and will put that up tonight... and will test it throughly to ensure it all works
Just to help my testing can you let me know what selections you made when building? and if you did any modifications to any folders as well...

Hello,
I also was unable to install anything after flashing. Anything that I tried to install would give me an installation unsuccessful error.
Active sync was spotty, it would just drop connection and then reconnect.

Device Info
How did you fix the Device Info issue? I have been trying to figure that out for a while now.
I have Sprint as well ran into not being able to connect to Data.
Hey m3jorge, I'm really liking this Rom you put out. Totally dig the modded m2d theme you put on with the white underlay on black icons, but I can't change the top/bottom bars to matching diamond(black/grey) in Appearance under Settings, also get the can't install cab error, and no active sync errors others are also experiencing. Other than those 2 issues, everything works and looks nice. Good job and Thanks.
btw... I did all the selections and minimal selections trying to identify the reason why folder won't let let cabs install, but no luck.
Vogue/Sprint
Ok I think I've found the root of the issue about the cabs not installing... quick question though for those having the issue...
Did Customizations run? or try to run? and did you let customizations complete... thanks...

I believe I have what i did is I took the VIRSER_ATCMD.dll (along with the other VIRSER dlls) and fuart.exe from the Alltel 3.10... I found that if the two versions don't match all kind of things with active sync become unhappy

ok that is the weirdest thing... Customizations installs like 3 cabs... but cabs don't work after that? or are we talking about carrier cabs don;t work???
carrier(sprint) or any cabs won't install, because I verified no internet access via testing youtube app and get no videos to load up. gonna reflash and skip customizations to see if that is a factor in cabs not installing.

I've cooked a Rom for the Asus Zest Build 28232.
Download link below
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AHK4D9NF
Mirror: http://ul.to/xvu21b
It seems to be faster than previous builds. ~44 MB RAM free on first boot.
MS online services/widgets removed.
Give the interface some time to load at startup, before pressing Start or other buttons, or you might get a Shell32 crash (nothing major, anyways).
In Program Files you will find two empty folders: "Finger keyboard" and SIP change" (these were part of the Blade0rz kitchen on which I cooked and forgot to remove); just delete if not needed.

"Google maps" - in ASUS_ROM.
This is very fast build. I think it's twice fast than 28205. After some reg tweaks I got near 50MB free RAM at start.
I didn't explore reg tweaks possibilities... Anyways, i'm really new to all this cooking staff. Can you share the tweaks you mentioned?
Also kindly specify Asus soft to be removed... I would'n want to remove something I shouldn't.
Cheers
Basically, it's not "tweaks".
I am an old-fashioned user, and I don't use Titanium. So I don't need many plug-ins.
First, I remove every unnecessary registry keys for plug-ins.
Second, I remove content of regkeys for "ErorReporting", and every similar unnecessary (for me) service (BtHID, Vindows Live, IPv6 and so on).
About Asus software.
I am not sure, but maybe AsusZip and Network Settings (which is WM6.1 - maybe). I first thought of Asus dialer, but it is a dialer wit VideoCall capability, so we need it.
I think you don't need to remove any regkeys, coz the "tweaks" are for my customization only.
In general it is a good idea to build a "basic and full" release... but it's a time-consuming job.
P.S. After removing unnecessary services&plug-ins, the stand-by time increases about 2 times...
Thanks for the ROM genci! It works flawlessly and my MMS works again! I installed a couple of the O2 specific cabs to get the network settings, USSD and emergency call settings set up. If any body else wants these cabs you can find them in the Zest Upgrade Pack on the Blade0rz ROM thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551379
Does this ROM have User Configuration (UC) built in? I know the original one from the kitchen you are using did (it was one way to load the Zest Upgrade Pack automatically). Any idea?
Thanks, agitate! I'm glad to hear you liked and you are using my rom.
I've never used UC; you are right, I used Blade0rz kitchen that should have UC.
I just ported the system, without touching anything further (OEM). In fact i would like to explore more on removing Asus soft from the OEM misc folder, without damaging functionality of the ROM, just to free some more RAM, mainly for using it with some more fancy UI, like the memory hungry SPB Mobile Shell.
Can you advise on the above?
I'm planning to cook a 23544 ROM (issued the last couple of days). Do you have any info on which is better, 23xxx vs 28xxx.
Thanks
Genci
Cheers everyone!
It would be very useful to me if you provide some feedback on the rom.
Cheers
Genci

Unless the ASUS software is running in the background then you aren't going to free any RAM by removing it. Only ROM for installing other programs in. Right?

I used to follow Da_G's release thread, but, as you probably know, if you stop reading it for more than 10 seconds, you find yourself 6 billion posts out of date. I remember being very excited when the COM8 branch started, but it would seem that the COM5 (235xx) branch is the most active at the moment. Sorry I can't be of more help.
I've been using your ROM for nearly a week now without any problems whatsoever. One weird thing I noticed is that there are a load of cabs in \asus_rom that haven't been installed as part of the initial ROM setup. Google maps is in there and also the Network Settings cabs (which I installed the O2 version of separately after noticing that they were missing). Is there something missing from your ROM setup that has stopped this first boot install from working. Or did it just not run on my device? I started the install and then got distracted and when I came back it was sat on the Screen Setup page waiting for my input, so maybe I missed something. Any ideas?
Thanks again for all your hard work! It's appreciated.
They were part of the UC, which I removed, but without removing those files.
So don't worry, you didn't miss anything... I did.
I'll try to address in other releases, if necessary..
Cheers
Genci
almost same

does anybody can explain differences between different builds?
why do you choose 28232 and not another one?
I already used this rom for two weeks til now, it run well to me, no problem except the error after finish instal rom that already mention in this forum.
My big concern is about total program memory dan free program memory (not storage memory), is there a way to make it bigger? because Asus P565 has default total program memory = 128MB, but in setting it show only ~89MB in total, where is the rest? Or anybody now what to do to free more memory?
Also, lag of scroll feature when read document in word mobile, and hard to select bunch of text when read incoming email (with keyboard already open). But I found both of this lag also in Rishi's rom, I don't know is this common or not, since I only try Genci's rom and Rishi's rom.
For now I used 'AE Button Plus' to remap volume key to page up and page down function for read document (long press to change sound volume), and used 'Cootek Touchpal keyboard' for select text in email (it has feature to select text with visual arrow).
Waiting your promised rom, Genci, thank for sharing.
is this taken off?
hope you could put it back on or an updated rom.
my device is hanging on me 4 times a day and im in need of a new rom
I use Rishi ROM, it isn't 100% stable but stable enough for everyday use
thanks but could somebody put this back up?
