Request from a desperate newbie... - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi,
I have spent 2 days flashing, installing, uninstalling, reading, reading, searching.
By now I am completely desperate.
I've tried lots of custom ROMs. And most of them have totally awesome features but there are some standard features in the official ROM which I don't want to get rid of in favor of the more fancy diamond 2 manila.
To make the long story short, I am looking for a custom ROM that would only have VERY minor customizations over the official WWE one.
What I am looking for in the ROM is:
replacement of .NET 2.0 with .NET 3.5
removal of sample pictures, music etc.
removal of welcome center
new Opera
new Album
removal of windowsupdate
removal of startup sound
removal of adobe acrobat
PLEASE do not mess with notifications and menus. I like them just the way they are in 1.93 and 2.03.
If easily implemented, I'd love the addition of the Stocks and Communications tabs to Manila.
THANK YOU!!!

Thanks, but it looks like this one has too much removed from it. After all, a custom ROM is supposed to make customization faster, not the opposite. I don't want to manually reinstall manila and all the other good stuff present in official ROMS.
Like I said, I need the custom ROM to be a very slight modification, not a radical one.

anybody? please!

Try the AZTOR series of ROMs...

try a kitchen then you´ll get only what you want

Almost original ROM with TF3D2?

Hello,
i am the guy who search before ask, but i can't find not-touched (means no "redesigned") ROM with TF3D-2. Can you please help me?
I don't like these roms which got fancy colors and stuff, I like original logos, original icons (mainly in notification area) and so far starting logos untouched... (pleeeeze )
It can be 6.1 or 6.5.
If you can, recomend me some specific rom and you can write reasons why you prefers it.
Thanks a lot for an advice.
First of all, go to this thread and download one of the stock ROM's that matches your language.
Then visit this thread and follow the instructions to get TF3Dv2.
Hope that helps, you won't find any lite/empty ROM's with TF3Dv2.
Oooh, if it will be so simple it will be great.. i will check this out! THX a lot!
no need to go through all that trouble. Heres a stock clean uncustomized wm6.5 rom with t3d2
and as the guy said above that you wont find any lite roms with tf3d2... well the one above is lite

Actually the cleanest 6.1 ROM you will find is actually Shaks StandardLite ROM here.
Then follow the instructions I gave you to get TF3D2 installed.
Good, this is exactly what i am looking for. Thanx a lot, i will give it a try!

You propably use Manila v2.0, which means that themes for Manila v2.1 and v3, are not compatible with your device.
BUT!
First off, you should take a look at giving your phone a new ROM.
The kitchen cooks for TouchHD here on xda, are FABOLOUS! Right now, your Touch HD is slow as hell. Try and swipe the menus. Notice the lags. Enter the application pane. Swipe up and down. See?
The kitchen cooked ROMs in here, replaces the one you have - and gives you up to 20x faster performance (no kidding, and no exhaggeration).
I myself, use Laurentius26 v3.55 (www.laurentius26.net -- you have to become member of his website to download the rom, but it's all free, so don't worry).
Most people like Dutty's ROMs also - they're great too!
No matter what you choose, I promise you'll feel that your Touch HD has transformed into a speed monster. Especially in the menus!
Oh yeah - and as a side dish, you get the newest version of Manila and TouchFlo3D. Personally, I think that the version in the Laurantius26-ROM that I use, is so super-duper, that I don't want to spend time looking for other themes. I have thought of designing/programming a completely new GUI myself, but I gave up, as I don't have Microsoft Visual Studio.
But you have the oppertunity if you patch with a new ROM. I highly recommend you do that first thing.

Your manila can be found by going to settings tab in TF3D and then scrolling down to 'About'
It should state something like TouchFLO 3D 2.1.38658.2. The first 2 numbers i.e. 2.1 in this case state which manila you have
There appears to be no official update from HTC for a Indian rom. You can however update to any coooked rom by using either USPL or HSPL. I'd recommend you follow this guide and read up on the wiki. Available cooked roms can be found in this forum.
EDIT
Any further queries regarding rom upgrade should be posted in this thread or thread of rom you decide to flash to.
Try and keep this thread on themes please.

Then you don't have manila 2.0 or 2.1.
No one can provide you with the information 'which rom is best' as every rom appeals to different people. Best thing you can do is read each rom thread and make your own conclusion. As a pointer, the most widely used roms generally cooked by the following guys:
Duttythroy, Miri, NRGZ28, Laurentius26 & kwbr.
All of the latest roms generally use manila 2.1 and either wm6.1 or wm6.5 (should say on title of each thread)

So will you help me how to start.
And after the Upgrade my Phone is Unser Warranty or NOT.
and How can i restore the Orignal ROM after the Upgrade, if i want to do that in future.
For help on flashing the ROM, read the guide in my signature.
For how to restore the stock ROM, read this thread where it says: How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
Also, it will be under warranty IF you restore it before you send it back for warranty purposes. If you send it back with a custom ROM/SPL on it HTC will most likely not warranty it.

Updating Nataly ROM

Hi there, I am after some advice, im currently running Gen.Y R2 D2 but am looking to move back to a more practical ROM rather than a graphically superior ROM.
Im going to miss a few of the features and wondered what will work with this ROM as being older (unsure of build as not stated and not currently running to check if 21xxx+).
1) The HTC notification enhancement (if would work, which files would be needed - cab file available?)
2) Most up-to-date working Youtube app (bearing in mind ROM build)
3) Most up-to-date camera & album builds (bearing in mind ROM build)
Many thanks for any advice given
youu have diaduit rom..it is based on nataly kitchen!!

Hmm I may look at that but im not someone who has time to flash frequently so I have to do so carefully and do my research. Ive used Nataly before and was very impressed, even after all this time, its still benchmarked as the fastest ROM for day to day life. RAM and program memory is outstanding.
My issue with trying the Dia Duit ROM is that although based on the Nataly ROM there is no documentation of changes or new RAM % etc....
I know its updated to TF3d2 but im moving back to Nataly to get away from this as although its nice graphically is to thirsty for my little diamond lol
If I was going to stay with TF3d2 I would stay with Gen.Y as this is by far the fastest and most stable rom available so far IMO.
This is why I thought if I could just add the few things I wanted to take to Nataly ROM then I know thats all Ive added.
Thanks for your swift reply
Why don't you try this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527935
As well, there's kitchen with many extra options and new drivers - only problem that it is in russian, but you can always download the kitchen and swap the drivers around. I did it, and it improved memory a bit, as well as overall feeling
http://finalek.narod.ru/3.html
kitchen itself
http://narod.ru/disk/13305568000/2.10.1_MODX_KITCHEN_WM61.rar.html
you might consider BSB 6.5 L, once again version L, as i have tried all the others and this one is by far the best, Ram on startup 42%, seldomly goes over 50%, very fast, very stable, and with m.carroll pure2 black vga u get the most exquisite graphical appearence in tone with the diamond, youtube working, camera working, bt and sms thread not working on default install but fixes provided, radio 1.15 recommended

This IS the answer but if you study my first post I was asking what files need to be cooked in for notification enhancement etc....
But people keep suggesting ROMS lol
Im trying to find BSB 6.5L but can only find BSB 6.5R and 6.5.1A at the moment, doubt i'll go for this as Ive tried 6.5 before and the honeycomb menu is horrible, its just to messy!!
Thanks for all of your suggestions though
Actually, above are links for kitchens, so there you go.
BTW - you can download kitchen for diadiut too.... Try some cooking, it's fun

Im happy to try cooking but im after the files to include in a package. I cant just download a kitchen as the packages are broken up into all different directories so trying to figure out what belongs to what is almost impossible.
I was just hoping someone could indicate what files would need to be in a kitchen to enable the new notification enhancement for example.
Nevermind ill probably just stick to Nataly. Its simple but powerful, and more importantly - I know whats in it....
Thanks anyway

If you disable manila it will not use RAM anymore (you can check memory usage before and after disable). Of course you will still have it installed so it will still take space from "storage"...
Unfortunately there is no stock ROM without Manila. Of course you could select a "stock like" cooked ROM without Manila (BSB for example) or cook one for yourself.

I ll post in here not to open new one. Is it possible to install or upgrade manila in stock official rom to 2.0 version or greater and change behavior of start menu link to open all programs like in touch diamond 2 ???
check Gen.Y. R5.2 kitchen...
Just disable all the manilla/Sense parts and other programs you don't need and you are ready!

if CHT is cooked in.. there is noway to remove it from the rom.
If you're using NRG's roms, you could just get a rom that doesn't have it. However, once you have cookie set the way you like, it's actually pretty useful. I prefer it over the other Sense mods I've used.

Look into NRG's Standard Energy or Standared Reference ROMS in post #2.
Hope that helps.
Sergio76 also has no-CHT ROMs.
However, this thread has nothing to do with ROM development. Moving to General.
Russ741
thanks for the responses, yeah im currently using energy's reference rom but was hoping i could lighten up some other roms. im very impatient hehe
YOU CAN in fact turn off the cht by simply go into setting-->home-->items, choose windows default. then you will use regular windows interface.
also, you can download the titanium version where it is veirtually no sense built in and use regular winmo interface.
