For Those Who Wanted An iPhone ROM, Heres A CAB That Should Do Most Of What You Want.
Here It Is iPhone.cab
It Includes:-
Grumps - iPhone App
inphyy - iPhone App Configurer
A_C - Slide2UnLock
larna - iContacts
xelashiu - iPhone Dialer Skin
And A Welcomehead BMP That I Found On The Forum.
Hope It's Ok Not Fully Tested It Yet, Please Leave Feedback.
Cheers
Thx for the release?...are there any problems if I want to remove the CAB...in case I have some problems?

Gooooood question!
I'd like to take look, just fer ****s & giggles ye know? don't wanna screw up my current install now. I'm in far too happy a place, ROM wise
Already tried it out...but it is useless for me...respons...like 3-5 sec after tapping a button...5mb less free RAM...this is too much for me..
Regards,
Primoz
All I can say is that the Dialer will not work correctly on 8252 with CIN 3.5.2. There are some alignment issues with numbers.
Also it's impossible to enter the settings for the skin and PHONE icon not linked correctly.
Best Regards
Why is this in the WM6 forum? Does the CAB only work on WM6?
It probably doesn't belong in this topic, but why don't we try and change that?
Would there be interest in making a WM6 ROM that looks and acts almost like an iPhone? I can see there being some disadvantages and no doubt a lot of people will miss the today screen, but there might be a few people interested none the less.
Maybe it would be better to keep it as an "iPhone CAB" with everything on it, so that users can try it and remove it quite easy?
What other programs would we need in the ROM do you think?
I'm thinking it would be good to try and embed Piscel Browser, or similar at least, so that you have the fancy finger scrolling on websites.
Maybe we could add the ringtones as well....

Why not ! Could be fun to try at least, providing performance didnt render it unusable.
@Pc78
To Deal With The Response Times, Select Settings And You Should Be At The Configurator App, You Can Change The Response Times With This App.
@.VIBE
It Should Uninstall Correctly, As That Option Was Selected With WinCE CAB Manager
@dusank
Strange The Phone Link Works Fine On My Phone, Maybe Try It Again After A Soft Reset.
Cheers
Follow The Links That Are Posted In The First Post, For Information On How To Configure The Individual Apps.
Cheers
Does it include the filedialogchanger made by ??? which is posted with iConfig?
and could you write which versions of the apps in the .cab?
sorry, but im a little lazy atm so i havent downloaded it..
Problems with Dialer
This is my first post, can you put xelashiu WM6 version of the dialer in the cab file. because of the problems with key pad numbers lining up, otherwise great app Many Thanks

GREAT CAB
Great cab, I was just looking forward to install a cab like these, but has only problem with the dialer, I hope can be fix. Thank you for the great work.
This CAB is very nice, but it was eaier to configure an iPhone theme using WAD with all the godies. Plus, you can put the icons wherever you want and add or delete them.
Unfortunately WAD is buggy and creates a soft reset from time to time. Other than that it's a nice app to play with!
I really like the start for this app... iContact is my favorite cause its a Stylusless UI. Now if everything else is ported it would be awesome!!! The dialer is a good start too but really needs work with simplifying it. It doesn't need to be that complicated and the look can be polished too. I'm willing to work on it with the developer if you need more of my feedback. I'm an interface designer by trade so please use me
I AM WILLING TO PAY IF SOMEONE WERE TO MAKE THE ENTIRE iPHONE OS AS A CAB OR WM6 REPLACEMENT!
Anyone else?
I'm a software developer with a fresh mind straight from Uni...so if anyone wants to team up let me know and I'd be happy to start on this project.
Slither I'm up for it!
I'll design the interfaces... You make them work!
Deal or No Deal?
Oh btw which direction would you like to go Cook our own ROM or CAB?
Deal
I like the CAB direction...btw I'm working full time so i'll dedicate time for the project mainly in the evenings and whenever I get time during work. PM me for design thoughts you have.
Cheers.
slither & and spidey
im excited to see what you guys will produce...

i was shocked yesterday when i noticed that all the screenshots were updated from PDAViet's 18533 rom to, what a familiar look&feel!
i can't simply judge from that changes but, don't think i am a jerk, here were the actions i took:
1. i killed the download link
2. i posted my ebay item, sell it for 1.99
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250232653715
i am not going to make a fortune of that, actualy i pull out of my own pocket to cover all the fees in order to list it. i just hate thieves.
for those who still have problem upgrading your ipaq, email me and i will try to help out
for those who are unlucky and can't get the file before i shut it down, please view my ebay item, if you like, it costs you only 2 bulks.
for those who successfully upgraded, i appreciate it if you keep your copy for your personally use only
and again my thanks go to all and this is a great community!

the following messages were post before 4/2/08 and for your reference only.
------------------------
Hi Guys,
Thanks to this forum and I have learnt lots of stuff. After taking knowledges from people on this site and a few days hard work, I think it's time for me to give something back to the community. This is my first contribution so I hope some of you will like my work.
Attached is the link to the WM6 ROM update I created for iPAQ HX2000 PDAs. I have my two hx2495b upgraded and everything works great: outlook, office, windows live, wireless, bluetooth, ... you name it, no power drain problem, no soft reset, fast, reliable, I really love my work.
I don't have any other hx2000 series model to try but I certainly confident that it will work with all models in the series. Here are some screen shots FYI.
Please don't flash your ROM using the file downloaded directly, you could brick your device and I am not responsible for that.
Please message me and I will send you detail instructions on how to install it. I will honor every single request. please allow at least 1 min, at most a day to get my response.
!!!WARNING!!! if you are a junior member and this is your first time flashing your rom, please let me know and I will give you instructions as more detailed as possible.
Also please do not waste other people's time by pm them and asking for the instructions. instead, you can use your time walking through this and other threats and topics. you really can learn lot of stuff here, you can transform yourself from an always "eating out" person to a DIY cooking chef like me.
So far we have quite a few people successfully flash their rom, the devices range from low end 2110 to high end 2790, the original rom versions include 2003 to 6. this is very encouraging.
There do have some hiccups though, here are my suggestions:
1. if you see a symptom where when you close a program and you see some "artifacts" on the Today screen, this most likely is because that when the rom was cooked, the registry settings for today's items were not cleaned up, so to quickly fix this just enable/disable some items or reorder them through today's setting
2. if you successfully flashed the rom but your device doesn't start, simply remove your CF card and reboot again.
hope you who successfully upgraded your rom will share some experience here.
Enjoy it!

Gonna jump out on a limb here and guess that it installs the same way as the other wm6 roms?

After looking at it I don't think my guess is correct. It is a smaller than my Hermes 6.1 .nbf.
As soon as we hear from samz on how to install it I will give it a go on my 2410. I have WM6.0 on it now and I am getting some random battery drainage that hopefully this rom will take care of.
So we are waiting for Samz's instruction....
It appears that this is some sort of self extracting file. When trying to open with WinRar it ask for password...I say this is little fishy to me.
Flashing right now, will let you all know how it goes
Upgraded, flash went well. Including some screenies..
Good job samz, a very nice and flawless flash!
Feels nice and fast. I will play around with it for a few days and see if I find anything.
Might be time for me to pony up and buy a newer PDA though. It's a bummer that I only have ~12 megs of storage on the PDA but that has been about the same each upgrade since WM5.
Is the HP ProtectTools by Credant still available?

asbestos,
I'm thrilled that the 6.1 ROM is finally fixed & running!
Thanks to samz & all predecessors!
Am curious to know if the HP ProtectTools by Credant is still available in this ROM or as a separate installable cab file?
I need this application as a requirement for my work.
Also, it would be helpful to list what other 3rd party apps are included in this ROM.
Many users have been requesting for a 'lite' version of the ROM to maximize ROM space for persistent storage.
Thanks!

Hi,
Does anyone has alternative link besides Rapidshare?
Can anyone help me on HP iPAQ hx2750 Upgrade to WM6?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Samz, this .xda file is different from all other upgrade file extension we find in xda forums, how can we apply this upgrade, I have a hx2795b... Please, send instructions. Tks.

Hp protect is there and it works just fine. This is a pretty light ROM. It looks like samz replaced the usual calendar with 1-cacl lite, there is the normal wm5 explorer (which I replaced right off).
There is no java support. In fact all of the usual jre's do not work as far as I know on the wm5/wm6/wm6.1 other than IBM's J9 (cab included in this post).
Here is the base rom programs:
Games:
Bubble maker
Solitaire
Apps:
Activesync
1-calc lite
File Explorer
iTask
Notes
Pictures & Videos
Search
Task Manager
Tasks
Windows Media
I do not have a "B" revision device. If you do, you most likely have much more rom storage than I do. I started off with about 14 megs which has been pretty much the standard since the old school WM5 update years ago.
I did not need to shuffle ROM's around to do this update. It is probably the easiest upgrade I have ever done on this device other than the OEM releases.
If you want to update to it just follow the directions and PM samz for the directions.
Again, thanks samz for a great ROM. I will be testing it today with my usual routine and see how it goes!

I've been looking all over XDA and the Internet for this one. There's mods for it, custom ROMs that use it, and even a utility to tweak it. But as many times as I can find it referenced, I can't find a TouchFlo 3D 2 panel for the Xperia. I am running this TF3D for the Xperia (thanks itje) as well as the extra Cab that turns it into a panel, and the workaround that makes it have an acceptable landscape version. Now, I've clearly missed something, because many other people seem to have this on their X1's with no problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Also, I am not interested in a ROM version. If that is all there is, then please tell me about it, but I would much rather have it in a cab file if that does even exist.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441439
this will more than likely get ya the same stuff though...to be honest with ya, you should take the plunge and flash a rom!
there are plenty that arent buggy and very stable
Thanks for the help. I had (as I thought) overlooked the obvious. Fixed up now, and couldn't be happier. And to your second thought, I have tried flashing ROMs in the past. Not difficult and relatively safe as long as instructions are followed. Frankly though, I think I'm one of the few who actually likes the original stuff. Reset it all to factory and updated to R3A, now I'm set. As it is, I needed it back factory to take advantage of the warranty; need a new one because of some pretty bad case cracking. Everyone seems to be familiar with that one.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
Okay so for Christmas I got the HTC Tilt 2 with WM6.5 on the AT&T network. Its a great phone but I want to make it better. Through some google searches and what not I found this site and knew i had to join anyway....
Okay so one think I am desperately looking for is a flash player, mainly so I can watch youtube videos. I tried Adobe Flash Lite but it didnt work and the youtube mobile app didn't work either. So anyway know of any good flash player?
Another thing is this is my first smart phone my last phone (some samsung thing) could barely call and text people so im still learning the ropes with this thing and have therefore never edited anything on my phone. So a basic description of like what exactly a ROM is and Flashing a ROM. Also is a skin for TF3D just a skin or is it like I guess what you call a ROM? Then the Radio I am almost sure when it says "Flash a Radio" its not talking about the FM AM kind is it?
Also I have seen some pretty sweet skins but I dont plan on changing my skin every week so I am looking for just an amazing skin! So if you know any sleek, modern, colorful, simplistic, clean skins a quick link would be great!
Bah! While I am asking all these questions can someone please explain why the HTC Tilt 2 (or any HTC phone for that matter) fall under the "Rhodium" category and what relation does it have to the phone.
Again just trying to familiarize myself with what I am doing before i do this so called "Flashing".
Also any basic info that may help a person like me.
Again thanks in advanced for the help looking forward to being more part of this community!
Congrats on getting the device. You'll either love it or hate it...
Re: Flash player
The new Pocket IE browser supports built in flash. I recall there's another browser that does as well, but I can't remember. Skyfire? Someone else should be able to come up with the name...
Re: definition of ROM and Radio
Suggest you to read about them in the wiki. ROM is your device's firmware. Radio is the software that controls your cellular reception and GPS.
Skin for TF3D does not equal ROM. Essentially it's a theme. Before installing themes, make sure the theme is made for your version of manila. But if it's a cab file, you can simply uninstall to reverse any changes.
Re: the name of your device
The Tilt2 is the same as HTC Touch Pro2. Rhodium is HTC's code name for this family of devices. The "Tilt" name is just AT&T's branding.

So, I got this phone back in September. This was also my first smartphone. I read and read through all the tutorials here on ROMs, radios, flashing, and registry tweaks. The answers to the majority of your questions are in the FAQs/XDA-Wiki.
HTC YouTube App: I think there's a fix available here on XDA. I think itt has something to do with editting the connection settings. You might want to search for that using the search function of the forum.
ROM (flashing): think of it as like upgrading your PC from XP to Vista or Vista to 7.
TF3D (aka Manila or Sense): a UI (user interface) it's sort of a skin on top of Windows Mobile. Since WM is old and appearance hasn't improved that much, HTC implemented this UI to cover up some flaws of WM.
Radio-ROM: No, that's not the FM Radio. It's a software thing that handles the phone capabilities of the phone (the Tilt2 is a PDA/phone).
(Changing) Themes: There's a lot of themes out there to suit our personalities! Go look! Besides, when you get addicted to flashing, you'll get used to changing things and setting things up over and over again!
Rhodium: (I just completed a Chemistry course; I never knew this was an element on the Periodic Table!) HTC code name of the Touch Pro2 and Tilt2.
Feel free to PM me if you need any help. Like I said, it's also my first smartphone, and I would have to say I learned a lot since I first got it (pretty recently). So I would know what you're experiencing right now.

Yes, Skyfire has full flash support and is very fast because everything goes through SkyfireLab servers. However, video playback quality will be horrible (especially YouTube!).
I just remembered, if you go to m.youtube.com in Opera Mobile Browser and you press on a video, the video will play in the HTC Video Player. So, it's not really playing in the browser; it's like you're downloading the video into your Tilt2.
Ah ok cool. Yea I have skyfire I forgot it did flash but the resolution is a bit fuzzy. Pretty sure I will love it just as soon as I figure out what in the world im doing! Since I love customizing and tweaking things which is the main reason I didnt go with an iPhone that and the full QWERTY keyboard.
I guess I shall read the wiki/faq
Welcome to forums
You had a great gift for Xmas!!
I assume you still have the stock ROM, which I personally think it´s crap...
I would recommend to install a cooked ROM from this great site!
Onalmost any cooked ROM you have the youtube app so you can see videos
Have a deep read on the Rhodium Wiki so you start to familiarize with all that you can do
Good luck and don´t forget to vote!
Yea love the phone but yes I still have the Stock ROM (hey I know what I am talking about now!) yes it is crap. Not liking the fact that it constantly stays at 74% RAM.
Oh you just reminded me abotu another question of mine.
How do I get rid of all the freakin trail ware that came pre-loaded on this phone! I think I read in multiple places most good ROMS should get rid of that.

LOL I think every ROM here gets rid of that crapware!
Ok good because it keeps me up at night just knowing that its on my phone >
Ok cool just read the Wiki found a list of ROMs that look great > just 2 possible more questions
1) Ok so it says I should back up my phone completely before flashing which makes sense. But to where? I have my conacts and stuff on Microsoft MyPhone but Im pretty sure my apps and everything else isnt on there. Do i Just copy all the phones files and paste them somewhere on my computer?
2) Just incase something goes horribly wrong is there a Hard Reset on the phone that No matter what the phone will go back to factory reset. Even after flashing?
There is a YouTube app included on the Tilt 2. It is hidden from the Start Menu by default. If you open File Manager and browse to the Windows directory, you will find YouTube there. Once you launch it for the first time, it should also be referenced in the Start Menu, or at least in the "All Programs" list option in the TF3D Programs tab. If not, you can easily COPY the youtube.lnk file from the Windows directory to Windows\Start Meny\Programs and it will show up.
The app is clean and tight, and supports the native controls of the phone (eg, the volume rocker controls volume).
I cant seem to find it I browsed the programs list and there was no YouTube Program unless its called something else.
Anyway as posted abotu still have 2 questions:
1) Ok so it says I should back up my phone completely before flashing which makes sense. But to where? I have my conacts and stuff on Microsoft MyPhone but Im pretty sure my apps and everything else isnt on there. Do i Just copy all the phones files and paste them somewhere on my computer?

1. If you have the .cabs of your apps, save them onto your PC (I have a designated folder for all my cabs, worth over 400MB!). After you flash, you're going to have to re-install them (automatically or manually, depending on if you use Sashimi, Sprite, Seven, or UC_setup [UC is only possible if it is supported by the ROM]).
2. If you flashed, your stock ROM has been overwritten, so if you hard reset, it will flash to the factory defaults that is in the flashed ROM. To go back to stock, you will need to flash back to the stock ROM, which you should find in the link posted in the above post.
Oh ok thanks for all the answers appriciate it I think I might do it this weekend if i get the time.
First off, welcome.
Next before you do ANYTHING read then re-read any and all wiki's and tutorials on the Rhodium. Learn your device inside and out FIRST before attempting to make tweaks or rom changes. If you don't read then re-read, your Christmas present can become a pretty paperweight -aka- bricking your device.
pIE and Skyfire both have Flash capabilities.
The Rhodium IS cpabale of being used as a radio, but you need to install the right cab file...again read.
That being said, a radio usually refers to the part of the phone that receives a signal so you can use it as a phone. Don't mess with THAT radio until you have read and re-read the wiki's and tutorials.
Flashing a rom means to change your operating system to a "cooked" one...one made using a windows mobile base, but specially tweaked by someone here at xda. These cooked roms cannot be flashed without first unlocking your phone. Again READ or you can brick it. Also know that flashing a cooked rom has the potential to void any warranty you have...so back up your stock rom before attempting a rom flash. It is also good to have this back up in the event that you don't like a cooked rom you have installed.
There is a great thread that lists cab files to some really good applications, which will customize your device even more. You can also create your own ringtones, and tweak the device. Again, before any major installations or registry tweaks I strongly urge you to learn all you can first, by reading the wiki's and tutorials.
I have been with xda since my wizard came out a few years ago, and I have seen far too many eager "noobs" brick their devices.
I have only had my rhodium for a month. I am still learning my device. I still have a stock rom because I am not yet comfortable with my knowledge of the Rhodium. The stock rom blows by comparison to the cooked roms, but until I am comfortable with my device, I am happy to remain stock until I learn all I need to.
Once you learn your device, you will need to join Flashers Anonymous...because like most of us here, our phones become really fun toys with pretty much unlimited possiblities...so again, welcome...and read, read, read.
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!
CDMA Home Weather Fix attached
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

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?
