Can the Office Cabs be installed via cab and in the Storage card?

I'll make a list of software that is included in every ROM version.
I plan to make one rom only very basics like only hardware drivers/software and some communication software (gprs etc...).
One will include office.

@NikMel
before you start doing any kind of list etc. you wish or hack any kind of rom that some poor soul has spend a lot of his valuable time on, HOW ABOUT DONATING AT LEAST A BEER TO FRACOON ????????
In my opinion only two people having donated is a farce!
Please, guys and gals give students a chance to help us with our roms in future, as well as currently.
Greetz

Sorry for my arrogance!
I'm thankful to Fracoon and it's a very good rom but sorry for my arrogance but I can use the official rom of dopod from Asia.
Well if I'm done with this change I'm not going to put a donate icon in my signature and I don't want any donations. I try to do something back to this community!
If there someone who do not want me to use this rom I can drop this project and goon with the official dopod rom

im all fora base rom, add what we like then.
Im really after a rom like the official asia one butwith the new build and office 2007 (as this cannot be installed if office is already on there)

my goodness, how difficult is it to say : "THANK YOU!" ???

I think Fracoon is right, even if you are doing a lite version of his ROM you can't call it "Stripped version of Fracoon's NewArtemis 2.1 Final ROM", it's his work.
Usually the guys (or girls) that cook ROMs use some tools or programs or whatever from other people and they state that in some kind of disclaimer e.g.: Thanx to bepe for his tools, tom for showing me how to use ...-program or whatever.
It's a great idea to make such a ROM, I think there hasn't been anything like this in this forum but I would feel the same when someone is starts a thread about publishing a lite version of my ROM without sending me a PM or talking about it with me. Of course Fracoon doesn't have copyright on his ROM but you are showing respect if you change the title of this thread and your posts to something like Ultra-Lite WM6 ROM. Saying you are planning to cook a ROM based on Fracoons ROM sound much more polite !
PS: Ever thought about calling it NikMel's ROM ?

Can we close this discussion please?
Can we close this discussion please?
Tnx!

I don't want to call this stripped version MY rom!
This rom is Fracoon's rom and I just do some modifications.
If you make some body changes to your car you can't say that you have made that car do you?!

Do whatever you think is right.... it doesnt matter to me..... if you are a bit experienced in rom cooking you will have noticed that i NOT removed the RGU files from my rom.. and you will know what this means..
Maybe i change my mind and do different versions (with different amount of apps) from my rom... its workin so stable now...
I have used so many sources for my rom that i just can count them anymore .... so you can imagin how many work is in there....
in my opinion :
(1) Take my rom as it is or
(2) Take another rom or
(3) Go and cook your own rom (and i dont mean to just use a rom and take some stuff out.... cooking is more than that)
Its a compelte different story if you take the rom from a manufacturer as you want now...
but i say it again : do what you think is right... this is just my opinion... respect it

Hi thormdac . i'm from Germany too.But i don't agree with u..!
For me NikMel right...!
Facoon make Rom.But it not from Facoon too.It from other Wizard in xda forum.And All Rom it base with OS from microsoft.
U make **** in theard donate to Tom and now u make thread Donate to Facoon.It very funny.But u don't stop with it.U to continue make **** in NikMel thread.
It Shame from Germany

i dont sayd that im the only one who can make a rom stable... i just wanted to point out that i have put many work in this to make it stable...
im sure everyone who spends so much time with cooking can do it as good (or bad) as me.... its only a question of spending time to it...

its just not fun to discuss at this level... so i will stop to reply to this thread... do whatever you want with my rom

Things I have tried:
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
and
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix
Thank you in advance for even taking the time to look at this. I know there are a ton of other threads just like this one.
Also, I should mention that I was able to use GPS when I updated to the official VZW ROM using "Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab"
​

My understaing is that the VahallaGPS will only work with the Verizon wm6.1 release. As soon as you install a custom ROM you are out of luck.
What I had to do after allowing the Verzion wm6.1 customizations was take my phone way back to the beginning and bring it forward, without the Verizon wm6.1 customizations.
There is a good tutorial at http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS that worked for me.
Hope this helps.

VERIZON WIRELESS PEOPLE LOOKING TO GET THEIR GPS WORKING WITH THIS ROM:
The following steps if followed exactly will get the GPS working, as this is what worked for me tonight...read through all of this before you start because there are some things that need to be clarified...you'll be sent to a couple different places, but don't follow their instructions exactly...keep looking back to these steps, and read ahead.
1) Follow the instructions located here, http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?t...IX_VERIZON_GPS. However on step #4 use the official Verizon release with radion 3.77.78 located here, http://www.pcdphones.com/phone_downl...zon Wireless. The links to the things needed for steps 1 through 3 are right next to the instructions, just click on the number and it will download. The best way to make sure the customs don't run is to not tap the screen when it says 'Tap the screen to begin setting up your device' or whatever. Just continue to the next step. MAKE SURE NEITHER ONE OF THESE ROMS INSTALLS CUSTOMS, if you do it won't work.
2) Once you have flashed the official Verizon ROM and are sitting at the 'Tap the screen...etc' go ahead and flash with NFSFAN's new 1.12 VZW ROM.
3) When the NFSFAN ROM is installed go ahead and setup the device and let the customizations run. Once it reboots, follow steps number 1-15 on the XDA wiki located here,
Code:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...onAGPSFixCode:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...zonAGPSFixMAKE SURE YOU DON'T DO STEP #16, if you do it won't work.
4) After the phone reboots, which is step 15, continue on with steps 17 & 18... REMEMBER SKIP STEP #16.
5) Once you completed step #18, go ahead and dial *228 and choose option #1. When the lady says everything was successful and says goodbye give it a second and go ahead and soft reset.
6) When the phone reboots you will be good to go... either open GPS Viewer and set COM4 and hit OPEN GPS or just open Google Maps and choose USE GPS...make sure you are outside or near a window...it will locate satellites and lock within about 30 seconds.
7) At this point you will need to have your phone re-authenticated by Verizon Wireless... easiest way to do this is call #8899 which is Mobile Security division...just tell them you need to have your phone re-authenticated and it takes them about a minute or two. All you need is the mobile telephone # usually.
I know this may seem like a lot of work, but it can all be done in less then an hour depending on your skill level and such. I've tried to make this as clear as possible for everyone else that is having these problems. If you have any questions let me know, but this WILL get your GPS working with NFSFAN's ROM if followed to the T. This worked on both my fiances phone and mine, of which neither would be able to get GPS on these ROMs before. Good luck...now get to flashing.
Huge thanks again NFSFAN... hopefully this will get all the VZW people up and running so they can stop bothering you about GPS not working and more time can go into whatever you bring us next...keep up the great work..

Where people are getting into trouble is they have let customizations run & that screws everything up. I am running the stock Verizon ROM & Radio. (3.14.605.1 & 3.37.78) Yes, the GPS does work for the most part. The only problem that I have is the GPS stops working after going to suspend mode or power off. I am not sure how to resolve this issue. Is it the radio, the ROM version, or something else?
The only thing that I have done is apply the registry tweak. I am open to any ideas

GPS on my phone is fully fuctional with zero issue now. I flashed NFSFAN's Verizon 1.12 ROM last night & let the customizations run. I did not have to apply any hacks or fix to get it working either.

Thermus - your instructions look great.
However, what should I do if I already downloaded the latest WM6.1 and installed and let the customizations run? What are my options now?
Thanks in advance.

Hmm i may try it but i've got a question. Is the notification bar just like in Russell's Vanillain ROM (Sense Style)?? or is it plain android style?

Android style

Great dwonloading now and will try it
Thank You.

OK. Waiting for feedback.

it will attract people to download your rom
i will download when you added some pics ;-)
anyway, very good work! keep working on it!
Sent from my Hero using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

So uhm are there any real differences? Or am I just plain stupid and miss them. 5.2 is good enough for everyday use as well....
Note: this is not meant to be rude or anything. It's allways good to see more devs

Man, it's nice to see new faces, but you're not bringing anything new to the table, just a "rehash" of someone's ROM.
Like someone once wrote, proficiency with winzip doesn't make you a dev, and it's sad to see ppl just playing around with winzip, adding a few apks, changing a few lines and posting "new stuff".
I wanted to look the other way, just like I did with the other new "chefs", but hey, guy, you even had the very good idea to add a donate link to your sig., not even reaching 10 posts!
Unless you bring something new, I don't think it's a good idea to post, since it's just spam.
That might come in handy for you: "innovation, not imitation"

I didn't say it is brand new stuff. As I mentioned in the first post, it's based on Vanillain ROM. If you try my version and the original version you'll definately see a difference in both speed and stability.
Really, I don't think this is as useless as you might consider it. Maybe I'm not the only 'vanilla android' fan around here looking for a stable release.

What's with the attitude people... He posted a ROM he thinks is good and he wants to share his work, even if it's not *NEW*...
Download or don't download but give him a break... let people try and feedback, maybe you'll find he didn't just "zip" the ROM...
RaduG thanks for your work and share. I'm into Sense UI so I won't be trying this but again, thanks for sharing!

Ok so here it goes.
Just did a restart after setup and it is fast but switching between screens i a bit slow (will give it some more time). The launcher has only 3 screens "helix" I think you could use a different one.
Oh and the 3G watchdog could be an option. It is useful but i bet not all people would like it.
At the and of the day i think this is a great ROM. Stable and ready to be used as an everyday ROM

Thanks for your feedback.
I've tested different launchers available and the HelixLauncher included in this ROM is the most stable in my oppinion. I will wait for more feedback and if you users like it I will take the apps you don't like out.

It's not a matter of software being new, but seriously, just how many rehashes of base roms shared by other devs were posted?
How many "chefs" DID compile their own custom overlay of aosp?
In fact, nprussel was using mine for quite some time, but didn't react since he really has contributed a lot in these forums; in fact, I'd congratulate him.
Apart from some additional apks, I don't see anything new in here (same old bugs, "features" of other roms based on the leaks)
The one thing that really ticked me off, is the "audacious" donate link for what is, let's face it, a rip atm.

I've taken it off since you first posted. You're somehow right, but i really don't think this is useless. I'm 100% sure this is the most stable Android 2.1 you can download on the forum ATM. Since it is an improvement and i've given credits to the source, i don't think there is a real issue.
Still waiting for feedback.

Could not get it to work, did a full wipe, then flashed.
Then it boots and every single thing that starts crashes: 'sorry ... setup stopped unexpectedly'
I have the latest radio.
Managed to mount my sdcard between all the error screens luckily, so I'll put another ROM onto my phone in 5 minutes.

Strange, a few users tested and everything worked perfect. Please try a full wipe after install and post results. Thanks.
Going to check it.

This is my third rom, so I should now more or less how to install it, but what do you mean with wipe after install? My actions, in order:
put zip on sd card
boot in recovery
wipe whatever I can wipe (system and cache, I do not have an ext partition so no point wiping that)
flash
boot
so which step then?

Yep, i've ran aHero, great build too! But this is more stable and works better with Live Wallpapers.

Windows Phone 7.8 Deepshining BETA ROM - NO SCAM

HI guys,
Welcome to the first Windows Phone 7.8 BETA ROM. No this is not a scam it is the real thing. So, if you do not want to wait several months before Microsoft release it you should give it a try.
THINGS TO BE AWARE:
. OS Version: 7.10.8835.35
. ONLY FOR HTC HD7 (I will try to port it to other devices as soon as I have some free time)
. Available languages: only English
. You can now have the the new Windows Phone 8 Start Screen.
. I did not test it properly, I was in a hurry to share with you guys. :fingers-crossed:
. For sure, it is still a Microsoft Beta Build so some thing may not work, specially in none Nokia Devices.
. The Rom was dumped from a Nokia device and is based on Tango 12180, because it won't boot if we use WP 7.8 kernel.dll and probably most 3d party apps from Marketplace might crash.
. The Rom is almost untouched, this means it is not full unlocked or rooted and homebrew apps will not work (for now ). It has only a few Deepshining customizations.
. You can always flash back a WP7.5 Rom if you wish.
PLEASE dont flame if Rom is bugged or some things do not work. This is what I got now and I haven´t change it too much but it a start for future versions

Nothing really new, this must be an early build. One thing it bugs me is that Themes do not work so probably we might have something new related with themes soon

amazing work ill be beta tester anytime
for hd7 and surround and titan

Now if we can figure out how to rip the new start menu for all phones that would be epic

interesting ...... i just think that microsoft should do a beta of 7.8 like they did with mango last summer....

They just ditched us and said "lets pretend we care, and you guys buy a new one happyli".
They will not release any beta. Bet it.

virgin HD7
So, questions
Have a T-Mobile HD-7 (running it on Wind-Canada) and stuck at latest oem firmware (.8107), does the annoying no connection bug when wi-fi and 3G are both on bug, still exist? Its driving me nuts, i would flash just to get that fixed.
Other than backup, does one need to do anything before flashing this rom? My hd7 still a virgin, i haven't done anything to it other than OEM updates.
Thanks, and
Obrigado for all the hard work.

that will get you phone ready to "flash" a custom ROM
then flash this rom for now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271118

If the rom was dumped from a Nokia device, why it is only for HTC?

Because dotcompt cooked together the HD7 ROM. It really works on any device with custom ROMs, including my Samsung Focus.

How hard would it be to port this to the HD2?

Not hard at all, just takes someone willing to do it, and someone willing to be patient enough to deal with a broken ROM.

until the final official release is there hope to get only the start screen on a "working" ROM?! on devices like HTC 7 Pro? I would like to have only the start screen, i dont need new features, until the official release. But then again i dont need some extra functions

tried opening it with OSbuilder and htcrie, both failed.
Oh well

[GUIDE] Deploying Astoria Packages Manually To W10M

MOD EDIT: I'm closing this thread for now until the possibility opens back up for us to get Astoria running again. Too many posts cluttering away
Hi everyone,
After several days of sniffing Windows Update traffic and lots of downgrading
, I've found a way to get Astoria installed and working on the HTC One M8 for Windows. that's right..
In THEORY, this should work for all devices that aren't supported by Astoria project.
The reason for this: In the process to go straight to 10536 directly from wp8.1,
the needed aow.wim file got pulled by MS (for security reasons i suppose
and i have no idea when or if they will bring it back).
Requirements:
-installed WDK,WPAK,WPDK (containing iutool.exe) get it there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...ools-wdk-wpak-wpdk-cabs-building-wp8-t3183972
-w10m build 10536 installed on phone
-usb connection to pc
-astoria cabs
Here are the direct download links of the needed astoria cabs:
10166 (canonical)

Instructions:
-Go to iutool path in cmd with admin rights (usually c:\program files (x86)\windows phone kits\8.1\tools\bin\i386)
-Type "iutool -l" to see if the device is connected and recognized.
1 put only the first cab (10166) to a new folder like c:\cabs
2 then type: iutool -v -p c:\cabs
3 it should push the cab to the device and start the update.
4 there might be a error 0x8024a110 but it should work.
5 the device will automatically reboot very soon and go to flash mode (gears) to apply the cab.
6 then there will be the usual "data migration".
Repeat steps 1-6 with all the cabs in correct order one by one.
Astoria should now be installed and working.
There are already guides on xda about getting apk's installed via wconnect.
Thanks to @snickler for helping me with the method to obtain the cabs even if ms tries to prevent it.
Thanks to XDA Dev Team for daily chats and support.

Well you sir are a genius, lol, thank you very much, will try it and report if it also works for my device (which has 512MB RAM only).

Anyone could upload iutool.exe?

You need to install the whole package, just iutool won't work, take it from the xda thread linked in the OP and install it, it's kinda big but the download speeds are good (if you do have good internet speeds).

I have a 6 GB limited plan. I will download at work

I can't seem to be able to flash the second cab, the first one gave the error but flashed but the second one gives the error and nothing happens.
EDIT: @Bnjalal do we need to keep the first cab in the folder, as far as I could understand from your instructions the answer would be no but I can't flash the second one?
Or do I need to do anything else?

@Ranomez my good Sir, I am not the op of this thread, I was just reading the threads trying to figure out why my 'supported device' getting error 14 and came through your posts and struggles and wanted to contribute to the good community. I am really sorry that I am not as experienced as the others here at XDA and thought that mentioning you here was the least I can do to offer help or support. But for the time being, I'm sure the OP will reply to you and offer support as he was the one who made the find

Oops, excuse me, I don't even know how I managed to confuse you for the OP, lol, sorry again.
EDIT: Meanwhile I answered my own question: DON'T keep the first cab in the folder, my device seems to be stuck in the flashing screen.

@Ranomez no worries pal, wish you all the best

An alternate way instead of putting them in one folder, you can call the individual cab directly. So instead of c:\cabs, you would put c:\cabs\blahblah.cab and it will stage that particular cab.
Throwing them one by one in a directory is an easier way to keep track of your progress.

Except the initial cab file the others just won't flash, might be cause I already installed the astoria files in the past with the change model trick (but it never worked) but I doubt it, probably it's because the device has 512MB RAM and astoria does a hardware check for that.
Anyway just to be sure I will downgrade to WP8.1 and take the update again.

BTW why not all cabs at a time ?
No need to DLOAD 6GB Stuff.
i836 is enough for everything, if any one would share. Just below than 10 MB

Because the cabs won't install all at once as some are diffs. Each cab is a corresponding package version. It checks for version dependencies and if there's a clash or if you're trying to install a cab that is lower or higher than the dependency, it won't let you do it.

@snickler oh yeah, got it, thanks mate !
Btw I saw you after a long time, where was hidden you

I've been around .

Confirmed 100% sure that this doesn't work on 512MB devices...only the first file can be flashed, the others can't.
Which means astoria does do some strange device hardware check or something like that.

Yes, exactly this. My 920 is still choking on trying to go to 10536 from 10166. Guess the servers are a bit bogged down with the 8.1 Update 2.
I'm certainly going to try this one.
