Pandora Rom Halo 3 Edition OS 5.2.1622 Build 18128.0.4.4 ROM 3.62 GSM 1.54

By request, here's a build that I put together, with options for either VC or VSD.
They're based on the OS 5.2.1622 Build 18128.0.4.4, and includes the following:
ROM 3.62
GSM (Radio) 1.54
HTC Splash Screens
Extended Rom
The software/settings included is as follows:
A2DPFix *
Adobe Flash Lite *
ATIFix *
Esmertec Jbed 1.2.070612 *
HTC Audio Manager 1.2.725711 *
HTC Task Manager 2.0.30740 *
Start Clean *
Windows Live 10.6.33.0600 *
ArcSoft MMS 4.2.8.1
Camera 4.0.build 28276
Lite Calc
3G Dialpad
10 Button Comm Manager
HTC Album
Flashlight
Notepad
Network Wizard
PHM Registry Editor
PIM Backup 2.5
Total Commander
Internet Sharing
Windows Media Player
I've removed excess dsm files, compressed a few exe's and dll's, and overall kept it clean and tidy. I didn't make the a "My Setup" build, rather a somewhat lite version for others to build off of. There's no games, extra ringtones, MMS images, etc.
You'll need to install your own carrier MMS/WAP configuration.
* = removable via Settings/System/Remove Programs

Notes / Thoughts / Thinking Out Loud:
It is mapped for TyTn keyboard mapping. To set it to 8525, set the following (there may be a cab floating around to do this): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\Qwerty] "Layout"=dword:00040409
Yes, I like Halo 3...
Yes, this has everything included. Radio/Extended ROM/Splash Screens/OS. Feel free to dump the build and take what you will. Note though that I didn't keep the .rgu files after the dump, FYI.
The Program memory bounces around between 25 and 30, depending on what I'm doing. My screen shot app always takes a big chunk when being used.
I remove sddaemon.lnk, poutlook.lnk, and launcher.lnk from the /Windows/Startup directory after every build. I don't need them for my configuration and it helps conserve memory/cpu time.
Free Storage after flash was around 55 mb.
This could be considered a beta, but considering how many users have used the Pandora kitchen (which this is based on), I expect it to do fairly well.
I've done a lot of work to make this a good functioning setup. For a lot of users it may be so as well. If it isn't exactly what you want, feel free to get cabs (or a kitchen) and customize one just the way you want. I can't make a version for everyone - so please don't flame me and fill up the thread with requests.

The only difference between the two downloads I posted is in the extended rom - one has voice speed dialer, and the other has voice command.
The base is exactly the same, as is the rest of the extended rom.
Is this what you were asking?

thanks matt! easily on of the greatests assets to this community

Giving it a go
Ok I downloaded the second one, and I'll tell you what I find.

i like Halo 3 too
good work bro

Here's an additional halo theme i made for the H3 release. (hope ya dont mind!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=50484&d=1189709285

The only difference between the 2 roms is clear , one has the cyberon voice commander and the other has the microsoft voice command !

Games
Hi Matt
This will be my perfect rom if i could add the OEM games + Monopoly and Pac Man from your kitchen. Is this possible and if so could you be so kind as to point me in the right direction as to how I could do it? I decompiled your rom but was worried that I might mess up your config if I went ahead and tried anything. Forgive me if this is a simple job and I'm asking in the wrong place. I am very happy with the rom as is - I just miss those games.

That is correct. I used the cab from 10/07 that has all the bug fixes. I don't use it, but that was what I read about it.

In many cases you can grab the files from a package, place them in the windows directory, and update the registry with the .rgu info.
I have cabs for the two non-OEM applications I can post links to this evening. As for the OEM games, because they have decompiled dll's, it will take a bit more to add them after the fact.

New Naked - Pandora Naked v7.0 Beta 2 with Big Storage

Here's my Naked 7.0 Beta 2 ROM with the following:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1948 Build 18548.0.7.0
Camera 4.0 build 28276
Internet Sharing
10 Button Black Comm Manager
Comm Manager Vibe Toggle
PreConfig launches SetHSDPA & SetAccousticParameters.
Points to note:
PIE writes it's temporary internet files, cookies, and history to the storage card by default.
Button 5 is mapped and ready to use / PTT is disabled
Because of how I decompiled / built this rom, it has good and bad points regarding the registry. In /OEM/OEMApps and /OEM/OEMDrivers are the .rgu files. They contain ALL of the registry setting for the entire rom. This is super sweet to tweak and screw with anything you want - but makes searching a bit more. I like it.
This uses RanDomIze's Big Storage OS.nb/XIP v3.62 and is a mix from Schap's 4.31 build - but heavily stripped down. Should you desire to donate for this, please remember to include these folks as well.
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(no MMS):
W/Big Storage
Storage Free: 83.17
Program Free: 33.00
(Nothing installed and after reset/fully rebooted and ActiveSync killed)
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.

Comments on build:
I removed a bunch of entries from the initflashfiles.dat, including the help icon from startup, and the games folder (will be build on first game install). The initflashfiles.dat is really nice for customizing the shortcuts in the start menu. Also cleared out anything that will go into /Windows/Startup except critical stuff (ie poutlook.lnk and launcher.lnk, plus any unused entries from the OEM/Schaps config)
There is no compression at all - so lots of room for improvement in that regard.
Frigging amazing amount of program memory available. While working with the initial builds - I hit 33+ a few times. Damn shocking.
I kept the .htm files - even though the help icon is removed.
I also removed all but one ringtone, and fixed the registry that referenced the three default ones - without doing so even though the files are gone, the registry still says they're available to use.
Schaps and RanDomIze did a killer job on their respecitve parts. I'm gonna buy them both a beer - please do the same
I learned that the .hv files in the /SYS/Metadata are rebuilt completely from the .rgu contents in the kitchen.
After adding in the MMS files, it went down to 79 meg free, but available program memory stayed in the high 32's.
Once rom has proven to be stable, I'll strip it for a new Pandora Kitchen base.

Damn you are fast...LOL...Thanks bro

I've been using Naked 6 since it came out and it is the best/fastest out there. Can't wait to try Naked 7!!!!!!

Without a test for reference (Karhu - got a sec ) it feels damn fast.

hey matt ow are yah

I'd love to, but to afford it I'd have to re-up my contract with the big A - and that's something I don't wanna do right now...

Wow, I was just about done building my own version of this same combination...after custimization, have 70MB Store free and 28MB Program free.
And while I dont presume that my rom runs anywhere near as fast as yours does, I agree in your thinking that it screams.

Downloading the kitchen now!

Hey matt,
I love your 'Today' screenshot.
That alone convinced me to download this Bad Boy!

awesome work, i was beginning to wonder if a 0.7.0 build was ever going to grace your kitchen
anyways is it possible that you could extract the entries in this registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color]
since the screenies you posted are the standard wm6 teal color i might as well compare the values that the new kitchen brings to your older 6a kitchen.
for anyone who is somewhat curious they could try adding the attachment to their registry to see if the 6a black theme comes back
. just rename the ext back to reg

You certainly can add the color settings to force the color options on first boot - but the problems is once you change your theme it defaults back to the teal anyway.
Now that I've got this setup with the entire registry in one place, I wanted to dig for a the default settings - where the teal color values are kept. That way I can make the default any color we want - and one less thing to change after flashing

looks great!! thanks again for your great work. im running naked 6 now but will be updating to 7 today and will report back!

quick question and this maybe a little retarded. i see that you removed the startup animation dll. does this mean that i cant just place a gif file in the windows directory and enable the startup animation anymore. i have few cabs that i use for the startup animation. just checking.

also could be a dumb question but what's the diff b/w the 7.0 kitchen and the 7.0 3G kitchen?

MMS?
Hi Matt!
I don't see MMS account.. Is it only me?
Edit.
I've instaled by my own and it works.

Nice find - I'll put that in the next build!
Regarding the difference between kitchen versions - the 3G has the video dialer and (supposed to) be mapped for TyTn keyboard layout. Both need fixed though.

Do you happen to have the cab for MMS? or does it need to be in the actual build of the rom? thanks ahead of time!

I think you can also delete the officeres.dll because you don't provide office with it. I got mms 4 working here. I just added the package from your pandora oem collection and deleted duplicates. Regards.

[KITCHENS+ROMS][WWE][09.21.2009] WM6.5 23064 - 23017 - Sorry NOT FOR P3600i! OFFLINE

Downloads in Posts 2 & 3
Hello Everyone. I'm probably going to regret this, but I'm finally going to post a few ROMs and Kitchens that I've assembled. I say assembled because I have not created anything except for some of the packages. Everything else is from other people and I've just put it together the way I wanted it. I say regret, because I will probably not be able to answer many questions as I really am barely getting this concept myself.
The main Kitchens are a mix of Chanvi/Oggi, and Tomme45i. I've taken the parts that I wanted from each and put them into one. I then added Sys/Xip of 23053, some Mega Packages, Iolite Packages, Jade Packages, some of My Own Packages, and whatever else I could get my hands on.
The First ROM will be a Super Ultra Lite WM6.5 23053. I've tried to strip it down as much as possible and still be able to run. It's as close to Vanilla MS as I could do.
Next ones will vary from 23017 light to M2D to Titanium to 23053 M2D etc... I may even try to create a specific one for SPB Mobile Shell 3 that will have SPB Shell and Weather Cooked in. Of course, it will be the Trial versions of SPBMS3 & Weather, so you will have to own SPBMS3 & Weather and have a valid serial number to use the ROM beyond the trial period. Who knows this might get people to actually purchase them when they see how nice they are.
I'm going to try to add a bunch of Packages and Cabs that people might find useful. Feel free to use them in your own Kitchens, of course!
One nice thing about this Super Lite Rom is that I noticed it connects to WMDC in Windows 7 REALLY Quickly and Easily.
As an added bonus, I'm going to post a video showing how to use the Kitchen to Cook your personal ROM preference. This will update as I get further along.
Watch Cooking and Flashing Video Here
More Coming Soon!!!! Well, as soon as I physically can.
PS: These ROMs are for the Trinity, P3600, D810 (NOT P3600i). PLEASE backup all your data before flashing any ROM from anybody. Also, keep in mind that these ROMs work well for me before I upload them, but I cannot guarantee that they will work on your phone, or that they will not cause harm to your phone. I'm guessing all will be well, but you've been warned...
Thanks to Chanvi/Oggi, Tomme45i, tnyynt, Ervius, and Many Others here.

This is the Latest 3D Mega M2Dv2 Home Screen running on a Trinity. The base Kitchen is from Tomme45i and then it was modified a bit. Mega M2Dv2 packages are from conflipper at this post: Thanks Bud! Kitchen includes both WM6.5 and WM6.1. I cooked a WM6.1, but did not keep it. It does work though.
Now I have to admit, it's sort of like a Blonde; It's Slow, and Short on Memory, BUT, it's Really Nice to Look at, and it is a lot of fun! (Note to Blondes: "Just Kidding! I'm a HUGE fan and a blonde myself.")
Is it usable? Probably not on a daily basis, but start deleting items and see how fast you can get it to run.
The idea behind this one was to see if I could actually get it to work. I know there are bugs, and it's slow as molasas, but it's running. I spent all night trying different packages to see which ones I could get to run in this, swapping out others, etc...

Download Updated Version. Camera, Internet Tab, CommManager all working. Now includes Haptic Feedback when Typing or selecting Tabs. Much smaller Kitchen Download.
Download Updated Version 3. Changed Dialer to Diamond Style. Xtra Comm Manager Link Removed From Tools. Task Manager now Working but Moved to Utility. Phone Settings now Save. Added Bing Search to GPS Folder. This ROM is beginning to be a usable ROM. It's slow compared to some, but if you want a bit if eye candy, it works well. Seems to be stable.

thank you so much!

Thank you VERY much for your input. I Highly respect your opinion.
I'm re-upping the files now that are corrupt, thank you for the notice.

Oggi, I noticed something strange.
I copied over all the individual files to the Sys and Xip folders and when I go to "About", it shows 23053. But, when I go to "Device Information", it still shows 6.5.23017. Any idea what I've missed? Am I not truly converted over? Is there a file I need to modify or replace?
Thanks again to one of our Master Chefs on XDA.

They are both the Trial Versions, and I believe they run for 15 Days. If you already own a serial number, or purchase one, you can enter it without having to reinstall.

VERY good job to start with a clean empty ROM...
But, could you:
1) Leave the start menu at the top ? (Why on Earth not leaving the default settings if your ROM is meant to be a starting point for further personal customization ?)
2) Remove the Fancy Top Taskbar as well as ArcSoft MMS ? (Why adding 2 software that are storage-consuming (even if not much), and perhaps unwanted by end-users ? If your ROM is meant to be as empty as possible, there should really be nothing more than the OS itself - but the OS itself should have all the features available (such as HSDPA icons/feature activated, video talk and so on), of course !)
Thanks in advance.

[22/09/09] Amazing ROM from DJKoa :) Fast Hybrid 23047-23016! With expansion CAB ;)

Hi boys and girls Again a ROM from me...this time for Artemis (my brother's mobile)
My efford was: to do the fastest and stable ROM with all working things we use daily. And of course, beautiful and organized.
So here is the deal: with 64Mb, I try to minimize the kitchen taking out all images for landscape, etc. And I added a expansion cab with software that can run from SD.
ROM details:
- SYS 23016 (20% are from 23009 to correct SMS and wifi bug)
- XIP 23047 (i will cook one with 23601 ... but i need mobile back to test )
- 50Mb / 25Mb
- M2D (latest build with special adds)
- New comm (2.9.5.0) working (only wifi icon can't update...but works fine)
- CS Phone,CS Band, CS Call, etc.
- CS SMS
- Startup Wizard (fully working: contacts + communication setup)
- Audiomanager, WMP (with skin), BT Audio, etc
- New dialer + CS Contacts
...
- No LHZ rom (Rom not compressed...so fastest)
Try and u will see
Expansion cab:
- Adobe, M2DC, Music ID, etc, etc.
Hugs

Expansion Cab: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P2F6YO77

well, nice to see some new developments!
if this truely is as fast as you say, i will be seriously damned...
greetz

Nice ROM
the hard work u put in Design is not to overlook
realy impressive
but...
-not as fingerfriendly as the new wm6.5 builds with
startmenu at the bottom
-i dont like M2D anymore cause its ram consumption is too big
-and almost 12 MB RAM after SR is not enough
all in all a nice ROM except of its problems with RAM
with a newer buil of WM6.5 it would be much better i think
but m2d won't get together with the startmenubutton at the bottom so i understand why u have chosen the older one
Good Work

Nice work, if you want to use the latest builds with old ui, i think you need the 21xxx series builds.
Nice work, keep making new roms!

Sounds good, could we get some screens please?

Great job
With all you guys Artemis forum will keep rocking, please keep up the good work!

Hi!
The design is nice.
For me don't like:
- too small font size
- too slow. The M2D works not so fluent.

Yep, M2D and 6.5 don't go very well together, YET!

Cool, can we have some screen shots please..

I cant download it from megaupload. Please I request a mirror
Thanks

I changed the font to tahoma, thats the only difference from original
Free RAM is about 15 m
Here some screenshots

wow, screens look really good, nice work!

Nice screens

I have a problem with wifi .
Don't connect.
Thanks

great..i wish there were a good WM6.5 M2D rom...and i hope it is this one! I will download it next month when i get my new DSL connection!

Haven't tried it yet,but looks good from the descriptions:-

Unhappy
Hi
I have installed this rom and run into lot of problems.
1:Memory available is very less , even after disabling the today screen plugin
2:Mails get configured but dosent open any mail when clicked on it and need to close outlook by invoking taskmanager.(tried flashing the rom 2 times for all issue)
3: when i go to messages and go to To option , as i type the names the contact list is not displayed and i have to always click on To option select single contact everytime (EX. if i have to send to 5 people Text message then i need to click on To five different times select each contact.) what i mean is Contacts is not integrated in messages.
4:The harware buttons like for camera , internet explore say shortcut missing , even if i go and personalise going into settings only one button setting get saved.
5: Wifi is not working
6:Lot of basic application missing in rom.
7:Fonts size is very small
8: Touch Keyboard cant be disabled , it invokes everytime even if i change it in settings.
9: The fix for Edge Icon is missing in the main screen.
Please note i have just given my feedback on the rom so that you can fix these and build a very nice rom , incase any of my statements have hurted your feelings then i sincerly Apologize for the same.
Wish you best of luck in your next release.

October 3rd, 2010:
Version 7.0 Changes from 6.0:
-Switched to Office Mobile 2010
-Added Titanium theme "Windows Mobile 7" by Dan.
++++This removes "Phone / Voicemail / Text Messages" items from the Titanium Home Screen - replaced with Notifications.
++++To make a phone call, you can choose Phone from the Start Menu or the Notifications Pane, or press the green hardware button on the phone itself.
-Removed Titanium Customizer
-Added CHome Editor
-Added Titanium plugins (these can be individually disabled using CHome Editor):
++++Comm Manager
++++Titanium Weather (was added / removed in the past, but if you don't want it you can Disable it!)
++++Notifications (missed call, voice mail, sms, email) - this replaces the TEXT, PHONE, and VOICEMAIL items in this theme. Select any of these to compose new text, make a call, etc...
++++Facebook / Facebook IM
++++Favorite People contact shortcuts (customizable / can rename appearance on Titanium)
++++Application Shortcuts (note some applications shown by default were not included and may be added to a future build)
++++Office Mobile 2010 Shortcuts (note: Office Communicator not included)

-Switched to more plugin-compatible version of HTC Jade Album
-"Conneting" Data notification disabled by defalut.
-Added MINLA 2D interface: note: I know practically nothing about Manila - I got it to work, my city was already in the weather databse, I don't know how to add cities, etc... don't ask me, I can't help you! For help, visit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554857
++++To enable Manila2D, Click Start > Settings > Home Screen, move right to ITEMS, and Select TouchFLO (note, the TouchFlo cube is NOT included with this build).

++++Swype for Vogue (install 1st)
++++Swype for Vogue QVGA Theme (install 2nd) - must be installed.

++++Opera Mobile (small, very fast, but sends your info to Opera proxy for processing) latest
++++Opera Mini (Forces your phone to do the work that Opera Mini's proxy would do, but protects your privacy) latest
++++Google Maps latest
Most impressive about NuVogue 7.0? Even with all of these new features (Titanium Plugins, Manila2D, etc...) the phone still boots EXTREMELY qickly. The "First Boot after flash" will take a little longer, but once everything is properly installed and you're using the phone day-to-day, NuVogue 7.0 is still extremely fast and stable!
As with 6.0 - to free up space on your device, you can delete the entire folder for the NuVogue Care Pack - it will warn you that these are system files, but will cause no problems if deleted.
>>>DIRECT DOWNLOAD 7.0<<<​note - this bad boy is whopping 92.3MB!
__
September 19th, 2010:
Version 6.0 Changes from 5.0:
-Back to Glossy 1 column 6-Button COMM Manager from earliest builds of NuVogue.
-Added latest Facebook client.
-Added Pocket Uno to Games.
-Added HTC Performance (Start\Settings\System\Performance) supposedly compatible with HTC Vogue.
++Allows changes CPU clock speed from 400Mhz-constant to 300-520Mhz-dynamic (not responsible for any damage that may result from use). Can also overclock to 624 Mhz, but I do not suggest this.
-INTRODUCING THE NuVogue Care Pack!!!: CAB files that cause problems or when "pre-installed" or that some users may have no need for - but saved in the phone's "NuVogue Care Pack" directory so you can install them with no need to download! PLEASE feel free to suggest future additions to the Care Pack! This is to save you time with repeated downloads from your phone!
+++HTC Touc Input CAB - EZ Input SIP (better keyboard than the one cooked in to the build).
+++Windows Live Client for Windows Mobile (latest version).
+++Windows Mobile Marketplace Bootstrap (installs the small file which will donwnload the latest Windows Mobile Marketplace).
++++WinMoSquare - latest beta version of Touchality's Foursquare client for Windows Mobile.
NOTE: Once you have the CABs installed or if don't want to install ANY of these, you can simply delete the entire folder from the root of the phone. It will warn you that these are considered "system files" but it will cause no problems, stability issues, or errors when starting the phone. You are free to delete the folder to free up space on your phone!
---FYI from 5.0 - with SmartDialer added, it will auto-complete email addresses in the default or Windows Live for Windows Mobile Phone E-Mail clients.

September 8th, 2010:
Version 5.0 Changes:
-Included EZInput SIP. THANKS LMILLER!!! (note, I still recommend the slightly updated version from the URL above)
-Added SmartDialer
-Back to 6-Button COMM Manager from Diamond (no wifi in the device, no need for 10-button). (this will change probably back to the one from 1.0-3.0 in a future build).
-Removed HTC GPS Routing Tool
I have been experimenting with adding BatteryStatus / HomeScreen Plus Plus, but since I use Titanium and not Manila it doesn't seem to work too well - and have no ability to overclock (which is why I wanted the software in the first place). I have removed it from 5.0 but am considering it for future builds.

-Removed WM6.5 Widgets, now that weather is part of the Titanium theme.
Currently, all other features are the same as NuVogue 1.0, and is still based on 28014 for enhanced core stability.

Version 2.0 Screen Shots:
__________
June 27th, 2010, NuVogue 1.0
This ROM is speedy, has the purportedly revised version of Internet Explorer, but most importantly is EXTREMELY stable. Reboots seem optional, and I haven't had a single freeze with this build - with a previous ROM I was using, it would seem stable until I used Task Manager to endtask a few things - that would cause it to freeze. I haven't been able to make this freeze yet!
NuVogue1.0
WM Build 28014
Built with PPCk-BuildOS.
Special thanks to JustPCTech for his support and the contribution of the SMS 2016 Timestamp fix.
Also, thanks to PPCKitchen.org user Mattsm for support and advice!
To install, follow the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592964
This ROM is CARRIER GENERIC, so don't forget to install your carrier CAB or else data won't work. ( Downloads: http://winbreak.com/winmo/voguegoodies/ ).
Includes SMS 2016 Timestamp Fix
Does NOT include Manila, if you wish to install it, you can choose your favorite flavor. Rumor is the one at the following URL is good:
http://www.bytetips.com/manila-3d-for-qvga-device/
I cannot confirm the reliability of the above linked program since I don't use Manila (thus the reason I have not included it with my build). The rest of the build is as follows.
Default Vogue 8-Button Comm Manager
Total Commander File Manager for Registry Editing
HTC Vogue Camera / HTC Album 2.5
.NET CF 3.5
Dialer from HTC Diamond
Default HTC Touch Keyboard, but if you install your own, I have included SIP Changer.
HTC Task Manager 2.1 & XButton
Titanium Customizer
Windows 6.5 Widgets (Weather, MSN Money, Live Search)
Long End Keypress - Hold END to Toggle things like Airplane Mode, to Lock The Phone, etc...).
Adobe PDF
Office Mobile / OneNote Mobile (I chose this older version intentionally because if you have purchased Office Mobile 2010 from the Mobile Marketplace, it will do an in-place upgrade with no errors).
Games (just because): Kevtris, Pocket Sand, Pocket Snake, Frogger, Bubblebreaker & Solitaire.

-NuAngel

Congrats on the release! Why did you choose such an old build, if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks!
Well, in my head, the build number was higher, so I figured it was newer. It wasn't until after I was tinkering with different builds that I learned a little bit more of how the numbering system worked.
Still, the more I tinkered with different build numbers, flashing some basically "naked" ROMs on to my phone, just to play with them for a day at a time or so, the more I really started to like this one.
Simply put, STABILITY was my biggest issue, and this build seems to have it!
I just hope others tinker with it for a little while, I don't expect to be the new chef around here, 1.0 might be my only release! But I thought I'd toss it out there to see if anyone was interested.
NuAngel

Okay Start
This is a nice start. However, some annoyances:
Did you notice the quick menu where the clock is? It isn't accessible.
The dialer is not aligned when I type in some numbers.
Have you've tried other HTC Applications?
HTC Calculator, HTC Album has better scrolling by the way. Perhaps you would love that, etc.
I hope you have not given up. Are you going to progress on this build?

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it! Yeah, I noticed a few problems with the dialer as I was using it - unfortunate, because it's my favorite for ease of 'redialing' someone after a disconnect. Which happens between my girlfriend and I alot!
Also, with the quick menu, I noticed the problem (as seen in the first screenshot) - but don't know how to go about fixing it, yet. I'll look in to alternate albums and the like, and adding calculator.
I did want to update the thread and say that yesterday was my first reboot in 8 days!
NuAngel

Prowess,
Thanks again for the feedback - I have released a version 2.0 if you're intersted in checking it out. I kept the album that I have because I actually really like it. But other than that, I took quite a few suggestions that you made, you can see the change log for 2.0 above.
NuAngel

Nice ROM!
Flashed v2.0 yesterday and so far, so good. Keep up the good work!

Dial-bug
Very clean.
What I've done is I went to dial in my voice-mail. So I pressed the send key (green button) to open dial-pad. Pressed and hold 1 to get to voice-mail. It says to enter password, but I couldn't hear it well so I went to switch off dial-pad to get to speakers and turned them on. But I wasn't able to get there because twice, I've tried and froze, only the woman kept on saying 'please enter password' until it hung up. Tried getting back but the only option was the reset bottom button.
I've tried too many ROMS and was thinking that one day I will take in the knowledge to create one myself. Thanks for the inspiration,

Hey, Prowess! You're absolutely right, no ROM may ever be exactly what you're looking for until you decide to do your own. I look forward to trying to what you'll be releasing!
What's interesting was I tried to mimmick your problem - I could switch the speakerphone off and on a few times on different phone calls. However, one time, I was able to freeze up the phone when I tried to hide the dial pad, but I have succesfully hidden it multiple times to use the swap or speakerphone or other buttons (as seen in the screenshot above). Very strange.
Overall, the fastest way to switch the speaker off and on is to click the menu icon at the bottom right of the screen (to the left of the "X") then press up a few times to turn speakerphone on.
I'll keep tinkering to see what happens with this problem... I certainly haven't settled on a particular dialer. I appreciate the feedback!
NuAngel

Nice, and very fast boot. Some issues I like addressed next go is the dialer. love the big dial buttons. But it over laps your contacts that it tries to match the number with. And hard to see the number you are dialing in the top right hand corner. Especially at night. because it's dark blue. I would suggest white. But my biggest thing is the Keyboard. Would love to see a nicer one besides the defaults But besides that. A great fast bootable ROM. Thanks for the hard work man

Been trying to find out what keyboard was used in the Baroqi44's release. I'd LOVE to add that keyboard, but have no idea what it was. Any keyboard suggestions?
I've been tinkering with other dialers, but haven't found a good 'different' one - considering going back to the default Vogue dialer.
Currently I'm running Android and beta testing some software for a Germany company, so I have sort of put this project on a short hiatus, but I will be back to it soon.
Thanks for your feedback, ern88, and I'm glad you enjoy the boot speed! Thanks hope you enjoy the stability, too!
NuAngel

Hey NuAngel,
I haven't had any stability issues to report. Runs great. I am just impressed how fast it boots from start up. Hopefully future builders will take some pointers on what you have done in the aspects. ABout the keyboard, too bad you couldn't use something modeled after an apple iphone keyboard. But anything besides stock would be great. Thanks again

Updated with v. 3.0! Also, added a new SIP for download here:
name: HTC_Touch_Input_QVGA2.1.2014.cab

NuAngel

Sent you a PM

Hello,
Just tried out the 3.0 ROM tonight, it looks pretty sharp. I have a few quick questions and comments.
Do Sprint customers need to install the mmssprint.cab Sprint MMS settings fix?
Is there a way to access the Block Recognizer input? (I was a Palm user for many years.)

Thanks for the feedback!
You should still use the mmssprint.cab file (If you need it, I have it hosted on my web page) for Sprint. If you don't install it, the only difference I've noticed, so far, is that when you get an SMS message, it will just be some garbled text with a link you can click in to take you the the sprint page - instead of "click to view" showing up as it does when you have the patch installed. Either way, you can still click the link and go to the web address, so I actually don't even bother installing it half of the time, on my own phone.
As far as block recognizer, it was removed from HTC products in Windows Mobile 6.5, from everything I've read. I don't know how to get it back, but after reading a large chunk of another thread, I found this post, where the user offers links to a couple of 3rd party programs that may work for you, and this post which has the WM6.1 "Block recog.cab" file which may or may not work for Touch 6.5 ROMs. Sorry I can't be of more help with that! I'll try to see if I can add it to any future releases, if I get another working phone in the near future.
NuAngel

Thanks to Does_It_Matter, this project will be back on track shortly. Stay tuned!
NuAngel

Installed this ROM, and it is very stable. It doesn't freeze up as often as other ROMS.
My only preferences, and perhaps you can help with, would be
-to revert back to the stock taskbar on the top, which allowed easy switching of programs
-be able to customize where camera photos are stored, etc. (perhaps it has this function, but I am unable to find it)
The biggest issue (and only one really, congrats!) is that I am having issues with the swype keyboard on your ROM. I've tested it with others, but Nuvogue seems very delayed and gives double suggestions (above the typing area, and also within a box). I'm not sure if this is an issue with the keyboard or the ROM, but it's the only thing that is preventing me from making this my permanent ROM.
btw, I really appreciate the late nights put into making these ROMs, and thank you for making such a stable one.

I'll try cooking Swype directly in a future build to see if it solves your problem. I, myself, prefer the EZKeyboard I point to in the original post - it's my favorite for Windows Mobile.
I sincerely appreciate your feedback, I'm doing a LOT of work to make 4.0 a big release, so I really hope it has everything you like and then some! As always, my biggest personal goal is increased stability, above all features. I hate rebooting my phone: you should, too! Once 4.0 is released, I look forward to your feedback about how Swype works for you, as well.
NuAngel

Just wanted to update everyone on the bad news that makes 4.0 a bit more lack luster than I really wanted.
First, I wanted to make a different build of WM6.1 style with the Start Menu on the TOP of the screen - but I can't get a stable enough build for all the things I want to do, and since Stability is my primary objective, it was sad.
Second, I am unable to cook in ANY new keyboards (SIPs), so I cannot add EZInput or Swype - and my research has shown that Swype is not very compatible with this particular build of Windows Mobile, very sorry!
Tip: for easy task switching, go to SETTINGS, then PERSONAL, then BUTTONS and assign the Camera Button to launch Task Manager instead of the camera... how often do you use camera that it's not just easier to go into the Start Menu, when you could make that button your Task Manager shortcut! Very easy!
