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...
Sorry. I have got a little problem.
Can I make the Windows Live Search bar for "Transparency" background from today screen?

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

Hi all..!
This Thread,we will talk about the softwares you want update in next V3 B&B
You write the softwares you want in V3.I will update it in V3 B&B
Thanks all..!
Tom
Let me have the pleasure of being the first to thank you and to request that you include the voip you previously posted. It works great.
I also think that adding the utility Shaun33 created in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303493&highlight=sipgate
is a nice idea to include. There is no other way to configure the SIP settings other than creating an XML file, making it a cab and installing it. So this should complete everything needed to be able to use voip on WM6.
May I also suggest that we keep it simple as well, I mean not to overcrowd this little bugger with so many things after all.
Many thanks in advance and I look forward to seeing this ROM being cooked, I'm actually getting a little hungry
Cheers.

Hey Tom,
I think many of us would appreciate bug fixes before app additions.
I got this installed on my XDA Orbit today and works nicley but a few bugs. Such as When i turn wi-fi on, it comes on, but wont load any webpages, and acts like theres no connection, but its fully connected to my wifi at home.
Also the message alert pop up doesnt match the cool sleek design, its the old white and blue colors and looks horrible.
Maybe you should have a proper bugs thread and get these cleaned up before adding apps?
Thanks!
Had this idea to enhance the sleekness of the interface, not sure if you can incorporate this:How about changing the background in settings - programs to touch black and with white fonts?:. Or even if its possible assign the background image?... This would be all new
Tom, very cool I'm sure no matter how you cook this it'll taste good at the end
Cheers.
Hi Tom,
I've been following this thread since the beginning, the only thing that I miss is my native language support. I have a German HTC P3300 and would be happy to use it in that language, I don't even mind if the other addons are in English.
Apart from that, my critical apps are Wisbar Advance, SPB Mobile Shell and SPB Diary. But since those are all commercial apps it wouldn't be wise to include them.
How about a tutorial how to add custom apps or creating the ROM?

One thing I hate is always to reinstall all the apps I want on a new Rom.
Is it possible to make 1 cabfile for all the apps I want and put it in fe an extended rom? So after putting a new rom on my device it will install all the apps I wanted automatically? But I think if this works, the next problem will that I still need to register all the apps manually, or is there way to do this automatically too?
Cheers
Tom, thanks for all your good work sofar, great job.
When you ask 100 people which program's they like to include in the ROM, you probably will get also 100 different replies. So I second the idea of assembling a barebone ROM (so without one single extra program but hopefully with as less bugs as possible), and a tutorial so that everybody can cook their own unique personal ROM.
I would love a Reg Editor
international
Very good Tom !!
Like I said in the different thread I am ready to translate in french as you which ...
yep, like someone suggested above..make a barebone rom and at all the new faitures with extra cab files. I installed the first rom..then installed all my applications..then installed the second rom..yet again installed all my application etc.
so with every new rom, i can start all over again.
Just make a bare rom with just the essentials and let everybody make a wishlist
and let them choose the cabfiles they like to install.
looks more professional then
btw..great rom ..maybe now i keep my artemis instead of my daily hunt for the exclusiv benq p51 with sdcart, a full keyboard and 320*240 res.
Tom, in your new build can you remove the values from the 1 and 2 keys in HKLM/Comm/RTC/AdapterTypes leaving the keys in place that is please? This seems to have cleared out some issues in regards to voip as Sleuth255 has stated especially if they haven't been set in the first place.
Thanks.

Hi Tom, First of all Thank You for giving us Great ROMs.
-Some people like the V3 will be loaded with all the goodies.
-Some people don't, i hope you will be release the Vanilla version (No body Fat version). if you not going to release the Vanilla version, how do i uninstall the extra software.
I'm M700 user. in V2 I have an issue with appointment schedule.. its keep repeating itself. after i check over and over again.. its nothing to do with the reminder setup. probably a minor bug.
Other than that your ROM is completely THE BEST! M700 work flawlessly!
Thanks for evrything.
Hi TOM! Cobalt78 is right, why can't we translate it in french too. I got some files but I don't really know how to do it. If somebody can help me. I got some french files like PPC_FRA_GSM_VGA_VR.BIN but I don't know which one to use for translation.
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.

Im really not intending to be a jerk, but you asked for critique, and now appear to be surprised it isn't flying off the shelves, so to the point, you post a ROM you cooked, which has apps inside you appear to know nothing about, magic ss..and since when is "glossy black bars" an app, and then don't even really post much info about it, other than its bloated..that's besides the point that I myself don't think I could even bare to tell someone I was running a rom named "Mr Bloaty".
If you want more downloads, you're going to have to put a little more effort into it...maybe some version info/screenshots, instead of just throwin up a download link to what appears to be a bloated turd that you and your friends though up after a few too many beers..or something one night.
Sorry if I sound rude, just calling it as I see it.
IIRC Glossy black bars is a small utility that appeared in some of the Black Roms.
Also, should you want a very heavily laden ROM, I would suggest that using Pandora's kitchen would be the way forward. (Choose what you want)
You don't give much info on what you have done to the ROM - but as you say you are new to all this, it will not fill people with confidence and tempt them to try it.

Ahh my bad, ty for the info on the app, had always just done it manually myself, or rather nowdays I just have a shortcut and HW key mapped to an exported reg value.
basically i used pandoras kitchen, and added virtually all the apps included, there are a few people like me who dont want a lite rom, i like a rom with quite a few apps included, I dont enjoy a few beers with mates, i like looking round for apps and sharing this, and many other ppc sites with every ppc owner i know, so i thought i would do a basic (i know only the basics what i read on here and the wiki) rom, yeah its not up there with the gods (schaps,jasjamming and the rest) but its my contribution to this forum
As for calling it MR BLOATY, its full of bloat.... mr bloaty is only the name of the rar file.
Its based on the Tmobile 3.60 rom (so i been told)
Im sorry that i have not added more info on the rom, or screenshots, all i know it runs pretty nippy, you will have to add your own internet settings, and if you want office, you will have to add the .cab yourself
Again, im a bit of a noob round these parts, i basically had a good read of the forum on how to use pandoras kitchen, studied all parts of the rom, constructed it, and converted it to download.
I dont mind if you download or not, its just my contribution here
its been downloaded 27 times too. so at least my work not being wasted
OK - I don't think the aim of the posters here ( me included) was to put you off sharing your efforts, rather to enable more people to try it.
Just add the following facts to your first post:
ROM created using the Tmobile Test Rom version of Pandora.
The following applications have been included :

No other changes made to the ROM
Doesn't include Office (Will need to install using cab)
Will need to add own network settings

And that should be all we need to know. Keep up the good work!
ok, thanks for that, will upgrade first post....

Start-up Manager
When selected in System\Settings, you get an error message saying "BTICon.exe -target file does not exist." However when you OK out of the popup, you are taken to startup manager (looks like Windows\Startup). I have not tried any options there.
Looks good and solid otherwise, so far...

Hi Faria,
Glad to see this cooked in since it is one of my 'must have' apps. Is there a way to change the default for placing a call from the handset to the BT headset? Of all the 6.1 ROMs I tried, CRC's is the only one so far that has allowed that functionality.
Thanks

That got rid of the error message. Overall impression is very good. I am using the 10MB pp and it is really quick. The cooked in apps that I use all work well. Will begin loading my apps and post if any problems.
I must say, the most stable rom i've flashed on the hermes yet. Definitely staying with this one for now
Downloading now will post feedback later after flashing. What pagepool is recommended the default 6mb or 10mb? please advice before flashing.

Hi Faria,
Glad to see this cooked in since it is one of my 'must have' apps. Is there a way to change the default for placing a call from the handset to the BT headset? Of all the 6.1 ROMs I tried, CRC's is the only one so far that has allowed that functionality.
Thanks

i belive DR. P has a solution for that...i will post it when he gets home.
Okay, this seems to be a hermes problem, not a rom issue. Of all the roms i had, when i have a lot of icons in the programs folder or the games folder and i scroll using the scrolley, the phone lags a lot and takes a bit for the icons to load. Is that regular? Should i just minimize the number of icons used?
ps. in this rom, are you able to hear incoming calls from your headset or do we have to manually configure that?
see u later guys..2:00 am here...dr.p will take over in a while.

Welcome back… I’ve always been impressed with your ROMs. I had to retire my Hermes (Wizard too) and just moved over to a Kaiser. I’ll have to dust off the Hermes for one more flash tonight… any chance of Kaiser ROM?

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.

It's work fine, mate... Good job.
Just remove google and asus soft for next rel.
Best regards.
Thanks, Zen 67.

"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?
