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
[/edit]

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

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
OS only upgrade (I assume this is right?)
Seems to run fast and no issues noticed to date (Again, is this correct)
And that should be all we need to know. Keep up the good work!

ok, thanks for that, will upgrade first post....

New PointUI Home 1.02b released Feb 4

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but just wanted to let you know that a new version of PointUI Home was released Feb 4. Neat Home application. A few bug fixes make this extremely useful, and there is a black theme now! Not sure if I will keep it, but they've done a great jorb of replacing the Home screen.

Agree, it has become a valid substitute to HTC Home: lock screen and slide to unlock, close applications and weather. All that is needed is speeddial with photocontact.

can you uninstall the thing yet.....it was a pain to uninstall the last version & I couldn't change anything. Otherwise it worked really well.
Chris

seem to be much improved so far all my hardware button seem to work @ Chris, unfortunatley it still requires manual uninstallation...just using remove programs alone doesnt do the trik...still it only took me a couple minutes to install using winexplorer and manually deleting the reg entry

this apps is GREAT !!! but ..... freeze with Shadow TE WM 6.1
try to using with WM 6 only (for this time, i try to add with other ROM WM 6.1)

Modifications
Does anyone have explicit directions for how to modify the home screen email from outlook to a different account and how to map the phone icon to the dialpad? I read the Pointui forums and there were instructions but none seemed to work for everyone. I am using a Sprint Mogul and think that this is a fantastic application. When modifications become easier, I think tons of people will also try this.

There's a registry key you have to create...
Under HKLM/Software/Pointui/Pointui.Home/[version]/
Add a string under the [version] named "App.Email.Storename" and make the value of it the name of your mail. I modified mine to Gmail and it works fine.

Not Quite There
I'll be posting a long list to the PointUI forum, but this app isn't quite there yet for me. I like its interface better than HTC Home or the standard Today, but the way it is now it makes me less efficient and not more. Having to manually delete registry keys is also a pain.
A working uninstall is very important... especially with a beta. I know we're all "power users" here, and caveat emptor applies more to betas than final releases. But this to me is a pretty big oversight.

Uninstall not an issue for me...
I am running Schaps 4.3, and had the previous version of PointUI installed (1.01b). I saw the new version, uninstalled using the 'Remove Programs' link, and installed the new version. It is running just fine for me.

[KITCHENS+ROMS] [WWE] [Nov.04.2009] WM6.5 23506 - Sorry NOT FOR P3600i!

23506 BETA Download bottom of this post
This is the new WM6.5 23506 - I'm Starting with a BETA - I need feedback please so I can create a working version... As this is a BETA, there will probably be some issues with it. As always, Back Up Your Data!
Only download and install this version if you like to tinker and deal with possible problems. So far, it's been good, aside from the below issue.
I just had an issue a few moments ago. My phone was off, (So I Thought). It was checking my Gmail account, then went to sleep during the download, then froze while it was off for about 1 hour. It drained about 1/4 of my battery and I had to Soft Reset to get it back. Please beware there MAY be issues, or this could have been one of those rare & wonderful WM glitches that happens occasionally.
I was going to try to fix the problems in the previous 23504 ROM, but I've been using 23506 for a bit today. It seems to be VERY Responsive, Stable, and has Plenty of memory available (Some things seem REALLY Fast). I have cooked a Stock ROM with a couple "SuperSport" mods, (Mostly Visual), and it is looking like 25.76MB Free Ram (20-22 after a few hours) and 67.14MB Free Storage. This is leaving in SkyMarket, Live, Themes, Ringtones, and all the WM Widgets. The only things I removed are AutoUpdate (Does Nothing Anyways), MSTag (Not Compatible with Trinity Camera), and some extra files for other resolutions. Otherwise, as it was made. Oh, I changed some Images for my Theme. I may create a Cab to put all images back to stock if I get time. This will probably be a highly requested option.
Pin Lock appears to work properly now. I know a few of you will like that.
I plan to release the Stock ROM tonight as a BETA so that I can get feedback. My phone's WiFi is still broken, so Please test it, and I'd like feedback on the BT File Transfer. I can see some of the files are there, but don't know if it's working.
I don't have a lot of time to test everything on this, so would appreciate help with that. When I get enough feedback, I'll fix what I can and release a couple flavors of it.
I'm really proud of this one. It's the first one where I did not borrow a completed SYS/XIP from someone else. I assembled this one myself, so everything is as it should be and very clean. Also could be a Train Wreck.
One pet peeve: HoneyComb is Back! Eewww I'll try to figure out how to get rid of that for those who want.
Thanks to everyone for your feedback, good and bad. I'm trying to make our Trinity run a little longer...
PS: Because I have no idea how to move them, I've got 127 Modules in Slot #0 and 254 in Slot #1. Not sure if it would help or hurt to move them as it runs really nice now. Maybe it would be REALLY fast if moved?[/COLOR][/I]"
Each Different Version will be listed with a Download Link for each. In each Download Link I will post the Self Extracting Kitchen, an RUU_Signed.nbh, and an AutoFlash file.
What is AutoFlash you ask? I've taken the RUU file, added the Flashing Program, and Packaged it all up into an AutoExecuting AutoFlashing Program, and, it's a smaller download than the RUU alone. Pretty cool huh? Yes, others have already done this, but I'm going to make it a standard practice from now on.
"AutoFlash (tm), Making Flashing Socially Acceptable, One Package at a Time!"
My recommendation for Flashing is:
Make sure you have Hard SPL on your Phone. I recommend Olipro 1.20 - Click Here for More Info
Be sure your battery is at least 50% full.
Start your phone in Tri Color Screen mode. Steps below
--Unplug your phone from USB
--Hold down the Power & Camera Buttons
--While still holding them down, press the Reset Button using the Stylus
--Release the Reset Button, but continue to hold the Power/Camera buttons until you see the Tri Color Screen
--Plug in the USB cable (if asked about installing a driver, do this), You should see USB in the White Box)
Now you can Flash.
Run the AutoFlash file for the ROM you've selected, or Flash using the Standard Flashing Program included in the Kitchen.
Enjoy!
DOWNLOAD
Thank you to EVERYONE on XDA. Chefs, Programmers, Cookers, Users, Noobs, everyone! You've ALL helped me to be able to do these. I'm sure I'll learn a LOT more as the days go by.
NEW!!! Color Themes!!! In Attachments!!! Also, Enable or Disable Startup Sound
Use these to Change the colors of the Today Screen, Menu Screen, and Dialer. Portrait & Landscape! Grid.zip is two cab files I made that will remove or add the Menu Grid.

Flashing as i post
Edit
Free Storage: 67.17 MB
Free Program: 21.12 MB
Softreset with Pinlock enabled functions again

Hi Supersport,
Just flashed, wifi works fine for me!!!
Do you remember? I had some problem with the 23504 version.
Thanks a lot

Videocall doesn't work :-(

Dear Supersport
Flashed the 23506 and have following observations:
1) PIN lock works
2) WIFI works
3) Communication manager when started from top bar does not start and had to start wifi fro connections.
4) Microsoft My Phone program is old one and have new cab file on my storage card so that I don't have to download again and again.
Will post further feedback tomorrow morning about battery performance and PIN lock problem, if any.

WiFi, Pin Lock

No, Videocall is something I'll have to add. This is just a Stock Version of the OS that does not include Video Calling. That feature is all but gone on most newer phones, I'm assuming. So, for the Trinity, we add it back in using an old dialer from our original OEM ROMs. This will come later when I get a chance to make different flavors of this ROM.
PS: Glad the WiFi is working for you. I hope it's the same for everyone. 23504 Varied from user to user.

Same thing here. CommManager is not included with the Stock OEM ROM as it is probably different from phone to phone. That will also be added in on future versions.
I'm glad to hear the other two things work.
I'm having a little trouble with my phone hanging during Email stuff. Anybody else experiencing this? Since my Radio is Bunged up, I'm not sure if it's just me...
Anybody get a chance to try BT File Transfer? Is it there or working? EDIT: My initial test tells me this is probably not working...

Does anybody remember how to get rid of the HoneyComb Frames?

The first one let me know which files I was looking for. Thank You AGAIN _X_! I pulled the cpr files from my 23504 and cabbed them. Now, you can add or remove the Grids per your liking. Just install either Cab and Restart. Now, if I cook without them in the future, you can easily add them back in.
Cabs in First Post. Unfortunately, I ran out of Attachment Slots (Max 8), so I zipped them together as Grid.zip Attached here seperately.

The following is the info/update in the morning:
1) Wifi works like a charm
2) Battery is stable during wifi usage and normal usage and no unusual drainage observed.
3) PIN lock works without any problem.
4) Synch with PC also works smoothly.
5) If there is no communication mamager in this version , then why it is shown when u press top bar phone signal sign? Please look in this as something else may be the reason for communication manager not working.

Actually, it's not included in the SYS normally. It's usually cooked in later by the chefs. I'm not sure why, as I think I remember it being there in the Older ROMs. It will be fixed on my next release. Yes, the reference is there in the Notifications, but the program itself is not.

I will need to be gone for a good part of the weekend, so I wanted to give you something to play with while I'm gone. I'll probably log in a few times using my phone, but not sure how much I'll be responding.
This is 23506 with some SYS packages removed. I added a few EXT packages to make it easier to work with and help with diagnosing.

Sorry, I screwed up the link. It's there now, along with this cab that will give you 4 rows with grid, for anyone who would prefer that (using typhoonk's cpr files I put a quick cab together). I might try editing the cpr files later so the grid is removed with 4 rows, we'll see.

No link for ROM found. Can you chk again.

Strange. I just looked, and it's there. Maybe try refreshing the page 1st page?

Found ROM now under same download link, which I had missed and am downloading the same. Cannot wait to try it.

Dear Supersport
Flashed AutoFlash 23506 Lite w Addons and looks good. On the outset, PIN lock, wifi is working well. Communication manager also gives confidence that all looks well. MS office alos working smoothly. Will play and post feedback tomorrow. Have a nice weekend.

[ROM] 2-4-10 WM 6.5.5 Build 24001 (MetroPCS) for Vogue by egzthunder1

Hi Guys and Gals,
Here is my newest ROM...
This is rather experimental since no one really knows what M$ did new in this new branch...
COME and GET IT
Change Log
First Revision...
*MetroPCS as default carrier. I was going to make it generic, but I cannot find my Generic module anymore
*Office Beta 2010 (latest)
*Windows Live 10.7.0061.0500.2000
*MSL Grabber
*Adobe Reader 2.5
*CleanRAM 1.9.3
*M2DC
*Chome Editor
*PHM Regedit
*RSS Hub
*Slide2Shutdown
*New Version of Opera 10 Beta
*M2D Citi Weather Editor
*Total Commander
*Removed Widgets
I have added NetCF3.5 in the UC Folder because it did not come as part of the SYS for some reason. Also, as always M2D is in the UC for those who simply don't want it.
[highlight]Note: As per Barogi's post, NetCF is already cooked in the rom by default. So, after unpacking my .rar, go into the UC folder and delete the NETCF3.5 cab. Thanks for pointing it out, Barogi![/highlight]
Note: After downloading, dump the XDA_UC folder to the root of the SD card and flash. Once it is done flashing, hard reset the device. Let it do its initial set up and soft reset. Upon second boot, a pop up will come up saying that it will install the apps in the UC folder. Click on OK and it will look like it isn't doing anything for about 10 minutes. Once it is done, it will say that it has finished and that you can reset if you want... do it!

Instructions for Weather Fix:
Before installing the cab, select your weather in the M2D weather tab and update it to get the reading. Once you are done, install the cab and soft reset. All done

Hi Guys and Gals,

COME and GET IT
Change Log
First Revision...
*Office Beta 2010 (latest)
*Windows Live 10.7.0061.0500.2000

I have added NetCF3.5 in the UC Folder because it did not come as part of the SYS for some reason. Also, as always M2D is in the UC for those who simply don't want it.

Hey just to let you know... the new PPCK now includes .netcf 3.5 into the builds so now theres not an option to have it cooked in, it just includes it anyway. What i had noticed with Build 24001 was that the messaging app was glitchy when going in and out of conversations, it might have just been my rom though.. other than that it was really quick.

can u post some screen-shots ? is it the same as all the other branches ?

Sorry, no screenshots this time. The UI is exactly the same, there is no change whatsoever as far as graphics. This is just a newer release. If I were to put Barogi's screenshots next to screenshots of this rom, you would not be able to tell the difference.

I guess that explains why I did not see it as an option in the kitchen anymore. I ended up including it since I have seen this issue being random, depending on what build I was using. For instance, I made a 23518 (which I never released) and that had it as an option in the kitchen... well, you get my point. Thanks for letting me know about this!

Bugs
*Dialer shows a scroll bar on the side... I have tried many dialers in my roms and all of them do that except the stock dialer. If anyone knows a fix, I am open to suggestions

Your welcome so yeah the newer releases have it in it but 23518 and older i believe had the option. and when you say the screenshots would be the same are you saying your using the same theme i have in my builds? just so people know what you mean.

We are (at least I think), using the same packages for M2D, with the same skins. I am thinking of re-posting the pics of my 28014 rom since they look exactly the same...

You are right about it. The theme is different (I can't remember what I put in mine though).

Glad to see you coming out with new releases. You might want to change the title of your post to 2/4/10.

"reply all"
Could you please cook a rom without the outlook enhancements which cause the "reply all" issue?

Opps, thanks for pointing it out...

After downloading I do not see a XDA-UC folder. Was it supposed to be in the rar or what? Sorry this is the first rom ive downloaded with the UC Install.

Love the Rom for the most part. Fast, seems very stable. Question tho; is the opening book sequence hard coded into the Rom? It's great if your customizing the Rom for yourself, but I would prefer something more.....well let's just say different

The folder is there. You are probably just opening the file and extracting the files by themselves rather than extracting everything to a folder. If you have winrar, simply extract the whole archive and you will get a folder named BuildOS with everything in it (including the XDA_UC folder).

I'm sorry, but I don't think I understand what you are asking here. What is the "opening book sequence"? Also, what do you mean by "I would prefer something more.....well let's just say different"? Different in what sense? Do you want more apps? Less apps? Cooked in? Different customization method?
The reason why I cook my roms the way I do is because I have seen Chefs literally wiping out a crap load of variations of the same rom because they try to satisfy everyone's requests. I personally don't have the time to do such a thing, so I leave it to the end user to put whatever they want in their roms, with a few exceptions (I just do the cooking ). You will always see people asking for different browsers, different UIs, different versions of... well, everything. Unless I see a trend or a consensus to put something specific in the rom, I will likely not cook it in. That is simply my way of cooking ...

I am sooo sorry. I've had a small stroke, and my spelling/typing is not what it used to be: I meant boot, not book lol. And I was not asking for you to cook a custom rom: I know your a busy man: ( I was thinking yesterday you must be God, your everywhere on here lol). I was inquiring about the opening two screens, which are fine, just not what I would like to see. I boot my phone up once in the AM and then whenever it freezes or acts funky (which USUALLY occurs when I'm trying to show how awesome it is lol) and I would like something more professional looking. If the opening sequence is something I can hack without having to cook a rom I'd like to give it a go; if not, oh well. So far love love what you've done; phone is fast, has few lags, and seems super stable. So I'm not asking for you to cook a custom rom, just looking for info.

I see...
Well, I believe that you can disable the startup animation via Advanced Config. As far as the bootsplash, there are ways of changing it. The initial screen involves replacing a file in \Windows called "welcomehead.96.jpg" (I am talking about the FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU image )
The other two, I am not too sure where they are located, but I will try to make one with more "standard" boot screens... (I know mine aren't what someone would call "professional", but then again I do this for fun and coffee )
I will cook another one and post it (maybe later today).
BTW, you mentioned a few lags... Where exactly do you see these?
