Hi cesconoa and thank you for you release.
Later I will try to flash your rom on my new HTC P3350.
This is my first attempt to upgrade firmware.
After i will say you about.
jmp_ita from Italy

Hello cesconoa,
does your rom contains TouchFlo Cube 3D?
Many thanks for your work, mate!

I know your PDA is the same without GPS receiver, so I think you can can try, But wait a moment, my version 1.2 is yet ready...

Flashed on my HTC P3350 (alias HTC LOVE)
Hi cesconoa.
Yesterday I flashed your rom on my new HTC P3350 and I must say
that you have done very good work (essential and good loking).
This is first rom I flashed (my phone arrived 3 day ago and I didn't like
wm5 on board).
However I had problem with cid unlocking, but retrying a second time it
went ok, meanwhile installing your rom was done without problems.
This evening I will install your next release (1.2). Must I have particular
attentions? Is it sufficient 1) Re-cid unlocking 2) Flashing your new release?
Yesterday I accidentally eliminated the rom's desktop link to the
CommManager (the first icon on the quick start's group) and trying to
restore the link I did't found the program in the list of avaible program.
Do you know how to do? However CommManager.exe is well located in windows path.
Using your rom I found a program to quick fix gps signal. May it be of
any use for me (P3350 doesn't has gps) having external bluetooth gps?
..I had never seen before this program.
Very good your idea of eliminate many programs and useless files that
peoples may install later in storage card (if they need). I suggest you
to substitute also the calculator and the timer.. and remove also other
useless programs (for which the web is rich of good alternatives).
Thanks you for your release, and if you need some help improving
your very good rom, I will be nice to support you with my experience

Greetings, jmp_ita.

@cesconoa: when I try to download your 1.2 upgrade from the link that you have posted, I obtain only a 221 kb .nbh file; please, could you give me another mirror? Thank you.

Problem downloading Rom v.1.2
Hi cesconoa.
I am having problem downloading your rom (from http://files-upload.com/),
because every attempt to download it, end up before the 50%.
You should change server or add it also on another server.
Last but not least, before upload it, you should pack it in .zip or .rar format,
so that, if the file is incompletely downloaded (as in my case) or
partially damaged, unpacking it may help discovering the problem (thanks to
crc check done by unpacker), avoiding flashing a damaged rom.
yet many thanks

This is becouse there isn't a link to the program, but only a registry key, rewrite this key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher\0]
"Path"="\\Windows\\CommManager.exe"
"Type"=dword:00000001

I think using an external receiver is the same, this program download "Ephemeris", data important to align correctly satellites and receivers

You are right, but I've done this ROM thinking to my use, programs installed are very used by me...
To leave you customize the rom like you wont, I've build it using very logical criteria (folders and .rgu visible)...
CUSOMIZE!!!

[Obsolete] Pandora Naked ROM with Big Storage

Here's my Naked 5 ROM. It includes the following:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1620 Build 18128.0.4.4
Camera 4.0 build 28276
Arcsoft MMS 4.2
Internet Sharing
AT&T Black Stock Dialpad (3G in next post)
10 Button Black Comm Manager
Comm Manager Vibe Toggle
8525 Keyboard Mapping
PreConfig launches SetHSDPA & SetAccousticParameters.
Points to note:
Button 5 is mapped and ready to use / PTT is disabled
It uses Bepe's Big Storage OS.nb/XIP v3.60 and is based on a stripped version of austinsnyc Lite ROM (with permission - thanks dude!)
It does not launch extended ROM or storage card installations, nor does it include a radio, IPL/SPL, splash screens, extended rom, or anything else. JUST THE OS.
Memory Details:
Storage Free: 80.04
Program Free: 30.49
(Launcher and poutlook.lnk removed from /Windows/Startup - nothing installed, after reset and fully rebooted)
I would recommend you install the .NET Framework after flashing, as I did not include 2.0 or 3.5 in the base and some programs you install / use may require it to work. See the next post for links / downloads.
Why? I wanted a super stripped and fast base to add my cabs to with a crapload of storage. I don't have the time to keep tweaking my custom rom configuration, so this will give me the most flexibility and performance.

More Stuff:
Using KarhU's stats, I put together this build based on performance statistics. It's clean and fast - and should run as fast (if not faster) as the best one's out there. I should have started a new thread - as it's a whole new ball of wax - but it's look and feel is exactly what I started after.
Here's KarhU's great thread on benchmarking. I've learned a lot from his work - it's an excellent asset for tuning
KarhU's Benchmarking Thread
Note too that I didn't include the .rgu files. Please use the kitchen if you want to use the components.
Evolution History
Pandora Naked 1 - 3 was based on the Kitchen version 9.5, but had a problem with PIE speed
Pandora Naked 4U was based on austin's rom release, but setacousticparameters didn't launch correctly and was missing a few notification alarms

Additional Cabs for ROM
Here's the .NETFX and SQL CE files:
.NETFX CE 2.0
.NETFX CE 3.5
SqlCE 2.0
SqlCE 3.0 (already in ROM)
Here's some items I've found on the forum, or in the case of the Random Access package, I built a cab for it and included the registry settings to integrate it into the dialer / hard button 113.

Hi, is this a 3.60 ROM, or a newer ROM with bebe's 3.60 mod?
Does it include 3G-Dialer?

Click to expand...

It uses bepe's modded 3.60 OS.nb/XIP, and it does not include a 3G dialer.
I retained the HTC3GVT.dll within the rom in case you have your own 3G version you want to use.
*Edit: The dialpad you install needs to have all the components, including the dialpad and smartdial dll's, to use with 3G.

Hi,
I'll give it a try as I'm fed up of several troubles had with cooked in apps-
You advise to install .NET Framework 3.5 cab FIRST? That is, before installing the ROM? I'm surprised but will do as you say.
Thanks.
EDIT: Well, I was unable to install it first, as it says the version is not intended for this device...

The same here, then I took the .wm. version, that works with my Hermes. How did you manage to install it???

I was unable to install it neither before, nor after installing this ROM.

If you use the CAB-file with .wm. in it (NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab), it should work..
You'll find it at ftp://ftp.servage.net/Upload/Micorosft .NET CF 3.5 RTM/CABS/

hi Matt,
I wonder: if you install everything afterwards using cabs, will this use more memory or will it be the same as coocked in ROM? In other words: do cooked-in programs use the same memory (size and type) as CAB-installed programs, as far as you know?

Sorry for the cab mistake, I'll fix the reference in the first post and make it clearer. I meant to say "after flashing, install the .NET framework before installing any other programs."
As for the memory comparison, the total space consumption is about the same, but you don't have the extra dsm and .rgu files, and the files are installed to the correct target directory, rather than all residing the windows directory - increasing file system performance (at least while browsing the contents of the /Windows directory anyway).
Edit: Updated context of post 1 and redirected link to original thread on .NET topic.

Whoohoo!!! 2 stars! I think that just made my whole day
I truly feel honored and quite special.
'Tis easier to complain than to provide fixes...
Mods - feel free to delete. I'm going back into my cave now.

Frickin about time...awesome rom. sdhc support I hope? So glad you left out netframework 2.0 as I hear installing 3.5 without having 2.0 cooked in prior boosts performance by 20%.
Device just rebooted, time to test =)

Directories seem take forever to load in file explorer.
Edit: Soft-reset seemed to fix that. Now navigating through directories seems much quicker than previous rom. Overall the device seems 2x as fast as my last rom. I had like 5 programs opened and running and still navigating through the start menu and then settings/programs screen was instantaneous. Great frickin rom so far.

hi mattk_r ,
I love this rom!
is there a way to get the kitchen files?
so i can build my own rom based on yours with the buildos tools like in the older pandora version? of course i would share my work to others

Sure, I'll try and get them uploaded today.
I'm also updating post 1 with a link for a working cool 3G dialpad. I had to verify if I could install one

The only time I've seen this issue with after running PIM Backup and restore my phone settings. After restoring, it's super slow until I reset, then all is fine. It's done it on every rom I've used.

Thanks for great ROM, will try it out sometime. PIM backup hogs up cpu after restore, i usually let my phone sit for a while, and then it finishes whatever it does. I used to softreset the phone as soon as i restore, but not anymore. I think it mainly hogs the cpu after call log restore, if there is call logs of 100 or more..

i've had it in my v4 ROM for a while now

Just made this version into a Cab file it comes out at 9mb uncompressed cab file that's bad news for device owners like myself with limited space soon i will only be able to fit the os and net cf no room for apps

Would you post the new NetCF 3.7 cab file that you created please?
Thanks

Net CF 3.7
the cab works fine on my Tytn II, but I don't know the differences with the previous version 3.5

Any official statements already? Don't want to add any beta crap in my ROMs ...

What's new in this release?

Files, Modules?
In this OEM package there is only a single module (netcfd3m3_5.dll). In the original .NetCF 2.0 and the updated .NetCF 3.5 OEM packages there are six modules. My understanding is that it is better for memory if files are module'd (?) so can any of the other files be converted?
Andy

Cooked into my ROM and fine so far also.

HERE you will have the current .NET Frameworks including v3.7

Cook into ROM that have v3.5 before, up to now running smoothly.

Microsoft .NET Framework

i want to install advanced configuration tool 3.3 but i have to install microsoft net framework. where can i find microsoft net framework cab? thanks.

http://www.google.com

seriously? its in the cabs, tweaks, & other stuff thread. its a direct link to the cab in the first or second post. search buddy... & read the stickys....
redundant thread

I find it extremly stupid that .net 3.5 wasn't in the Rhodium to start with... Hopefully the ATT model will have WM 6.5 and .net 3.5 so I don't have to waste ram with it. I've heard it can be installed to the SD card but too much uses it for that.

Lookin for a free cab maker

ive got wince 3.0 but it goin to expirer and a friend on here gave me wince the portable one, but cant get it to work with my win7 64bit even after changin to run in winxp service pack3 and run as admin. if anybody could help me find one u can pm me thanks..

Try QuickCab v2.0 free!

I initially also used QuickCab but since it lacked some features (for one the ability to use a custom setup.dll was removed in version 2.0) and IABovine apparently stopped development I searched for alternatives:
Pocket PC Setup Creator - free for non commercial usage
Phone Setup Creator - not as much featured but author seems open to suggestions
Extendir Cabs - a cabarc GUI made for creating cabs for extendir
MSCEInf - excelent cab setup extractor (it preserves the file names and setup structure)
There's however no free cab setup "editor" that I know other than WinCe Cab Manager...
PS: QuickCab version 1.0 is not in the original thread so I attached it bellow.

thanks man, ive got a hex edited version of wince 3.0. does that Pocket pc creator have an expire. ?

No expiration date, nag screens or anything else... You get the complete version (almost since you can't use a custom setup.dll) not just a trial.
