When I look further into this, on what authority have you deleted my ROM?

Have you read the wiki that you yourself promote? (There was a link in there in case you missed it).

"FTP Rules

* The ftp server is maintained by members just like you, so treat it with respect as if it was your own ftp.

* Use the ftp for uploading new ROMs, Programs or Tools.

* Please check before uploading that what you want to upload is not already there.

* Upload your files to the directory as shown below...uploading to other directories is not permitted.

* Add a filename.txt file describing the context of the file you are uploading

"

So, whilst I didn't add a text file, (missed that one, will upload with a text file later), on what grounds do you delete this ROM, or are you just a sore loser because your first sarcastic response was put down as it deserved to be?

So you don't like kitchen ROMs, so don't bother reading this thread, don't go round trashing what others want.

sorry for my attitude earlier, its was kinda early in the morning, and i appologise. however just to let you know, I (and i think other rom developers) DO NOT use the rom kitchen, we have created it for users who want a bit of control about thier rom. FYI creating a traditional rom (from plain source, not a ready to go one lie rom kitchen) takes MUCH more time and is in no way compariable to rom kitchening. just my 2p.

O.K....as a first...

both of you..stop shooting yourselves!....

@grayme

yes...everything was done "by the book"...I do not understand....I have tried all approaches ,but,it seems that ROM does not "recognize" my device (first time to happend something like that)...:confused:

@Midget_1990

there are "few" of users who preffer "clean kitchen"...;)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grayme:
Why don't you remove the ROMs of Jwrightmcps, et al? :confused:

I don't get your point about developing ROMs, why make things hard just to be able to call yourself a 'developer'?

There are many users out there that do not have the time or maybe just don't have the inclination to use the kitchen let alone develop their own ROMs. However, many of them continue to ask for a Vanilla ROM; hence my provision of one.

I have shown my appreciation to those that I know developed the kitchen, I clearly couldn't have done this without them.

However, I reiterate, even with all the developers out there, there were many users that still hadn't got what they wanted, Vanilla; this ROM (developed/cooked, call it whatever you want) gives them that option.

I shall up this ROM to rapidshare in due course.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grayme:
Is that my ROM or Laurentius26's? ;)

What is the problem, I don't see anything wrong?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grayme:
For those that are interested, this ROM is back here.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] aniel1:
I frankly appreciate grayme for helping out people. Also so many wanted to try out the kitchen to do some developing which I sight as nothing wrong. In fact when Helmi put up the kitchen, he clearly mentioned any one could have his own rom developed, so I don't get why someone or anyone should have any objection to it.

Lets all work as a family here.

United we stand!.

Can you put Powerpoint back

Dear Grayme,

I was almost going to try your ROM but realized that you took Powerpoint out. One of the main reasons I stick with the Universal is because of its VGA screen that enables me to read lots of presentations that are written in PPT. Can you kindly put it back. Or, let me know if there is a way to install it myself? Really appreciate that.

Peter
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grayme:
Sorry Peter, that is not my aim, I only set out to make a Vanilla for people who wanted one, not to develop one especially for all that ask for them.

As has been pointed out, I am not a developer, more a tweaker and it is easier to take things out than put things in (though you have to be careful not to take too much out ;)).

I'm considering publishing the files I have ended up with for people to cook in their own kitchens (add their own OEMs, maybe you could then add Powerpoint back), but for me personally the way I am going is to install everything I want through cabs to the storage card (is there a Powerpoint cab out there somewhere?)

I'm happy to share the cabs I use (freeware ones anyway), but I have no plans on making cabs for things I have removed that I won't use; I just haven't the time. :(

Personally I'd always wondered if anyone used Powerpoint on their XDA, now I know at least one person does. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] joey jojo:
this is a valid point though, id personally like to see the website stay open, and if this means no roms in the ftp then thats how it should be, as long as roms are available somewhere with a link to them, then thats cool.

:):):)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grayme:
It's a moot point now as it is on rapidshare, but there are still plenty of ROMs on the ftp... ;)

Maybe someone ought to update the ftp rules too?

Alright! Finally, a vanilla ROM!

So, my first question: Is there a cab for midlet manager? haha, I use that for Opera Mini and GMail (although GMail is broken in WM6, but I like to think it will work later).

I really look forward to giving this a try. I can't say I've ever used a PDF viewer on this thing, heh.

Cheers!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] shivam:
What has me confused. You took all that out (PPT,etc) yet http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=300796 - they added tons of stuff they quote they offer Storage 40Mb, RAM 30Mb. Same as you.

Whats odder is someone else posted a Vanilla With PPT and some other PDF reader and it gave the same ammount as well (tested).

So why go for yours? Besides losing programs but storage/ram same?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cktlcmd:
This is the exact reasoning why I find it odd that people keep asking for a Vanilla ROM. They claim they want to install only what they want when they want, but in reality, they are just going to loose their precious Main Memory in the process of application installation.

If you can pack a ROM with all the apps and still end up with a big Main Memory, then that is better, IMHO.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] jrronimo:
Not necessarily: You could unlock the extended storage and dump your programs there. I can't speak for anyone else, but I certainly don't use 10+ Mb of programs.

Then you get a clean ROM with the programs you want and you keep your main storage.

I think the real problem is that people want to customize their program list the way they want. Specifically, let's say someone wants to use AdobePDF reader, but the ROM comes with XPdf that you can't install. If you install and use Adobe, then you have 2 PDF readers in the ROM and one of them is just wasting space.

Thus, if you start with a /pure/ Vanilla ROM and install only what you want, you get the install the way you want it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grayme:
Don't go for this, it clearly isn't what you are looking for! ;)

Space may be the same, I don't know, but what about speed...?

Guys, this is an option, not a requirement, I won't get upset if you go elsewhere!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grayme:
I've unlocked my extended ROM and install my programs in there :)

I don't see the point of having a ROM filled with lots of things I am never going to use, just to say they are there; but that is just my personal preference! :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] jrronimo:
I agree 100%, if it wasn't clear already. :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tin2404:

no,my dear friend! this is not,unfortunally your ROM...Look !there is Resco,Resco,Resco,Resco....:( it is Laurentius,but tommorrow I will try again to put yours
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cktlcmd:
No, you still eat up the Main Memory for running apps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cktlcmd:
This is what I noticed in all the ROMs I installed and tried, even the ones I created and modified for my liking. If we can have a good ample amount of FREE Program Main Memory. It does not matter if the ROM is packed with apps or Vanilla. It runs at the same speed.

By the way, congratulations for the release of the ROM. My coment was not to critisize your ROM. Just to those who desire a pure Vanilla ROM.

-----
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] ultravox:
Hummm, I'm lost...

We have Storage and Program memory. Every apps that is provided with the ROM takes program memory. If we get a vanilla, we will get more free Program memory. Is this correct? Or will we get more Storage?

On the other hand, we will have to use the storage memory( and ext rom...) to install the apps we want.

From my understanding, Storage memory is enough, and we also have the 10Mb from ext rom , not counting with SD.

If we can get some extra Program memory to run apps, even better. There's also some apps that "no one" will use.

I keep stressing one point: there should be place were we could get the cabs do install what we need. There's something similar on Wiki for room cooking and OEM packs.

If I had time, I would cook my ROM: vanilla with some useful apps. Maybe during the holidays. Meanwhile I will keep following the forum and choosing what I think will best serve my interests.

Keep you all the good work.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grayme:
Guys, would anyone be interested in me putting together the files that made this ROM so you can add your own OEMs and cook to whatever you want?

You have to promise not to put your ROM on here (can't upset those that prefer to do it the hard way ;) (well you can if you want, I couldn't stop you ;))

I've put my pagepool up to 9.9mb; it may be just perception but it seems quicker! :)

It does seem that storage memory maxes at 40mb and nothing will increase that; increasing the pagepool to 9.9mb ate into program memory which I still have at a healthy 25mb.

Right, next for me is to add my OEMs for MY ROM, go make your own! :p
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beginner:
yes, please, I think it is a good idea.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Mr Groch:
No - some games requires at least 29MB od free program memory to run...

Pls, do not make nothing to decrese amount of free RAM...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cktlcmd:
NO, a fully packed ROM takes a specified Memory unseen to us. Then it takes up Program Memory if we exceeded that alotted Memory. Thus the observation of someone in the above post that a Vanilla ROM and a Packed ROM has the same Storage and Program Memory.

When you install a program to the built-in memory of the Universal, most of the files go in the Storage Memory, thus decreasing it, BUT it also eats up a small part of the Program Memory, also decresing it. If you ran an application, it decreases the Free Program Memory. Thus, if you pack a ROM with all the stuff that you need, you retain both Storage and Program Memory to full capacity, thus Program Memory will only decrease if you run the application.

For example ROM 1 is pure Vanilla. If I install a 5MB application to the built-in memory, it will decrease Storage Memory to almost 5MB and it will also decrease Program Memory on a small amount. Now, if I ran the 5MB application I installed, it will further decrease the Program Memory. So, in reality a Vanilla ROM will be hit by a decrease in Program Memory TWICE as opposed to a ROM with that same 5MB application already built into it.

As someone mentioned, a Vanilla ROM and a Packed ROM has the same Storage and Program Memory. The only difference is the Packed ROM has more applications installed into it. You have to remember that the speed is dependent on the Program Memory and the CPU speed, and probably some other factors we don't know.

Thus, I am buffled why people keep insisting on a Vanilla ROM. Just my point of view.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] aniel1:
I agree with cktlcmd.:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grayme:
Thanks for your explanation. :)

I'd come to this conclusion last night, but if the developers are going to keep this to themselves we have to work things our ourselves.. ;)

So guys, I personally think the way to go is to make your own ROMs add what OEMs you want, tweak other things in the registry, remove all the stuff you never use.... ;)

I am happy to upload my vanilla 'par-cooked' (a kitchen ROM that has not been compiled), so you can add your own bits without working out what to remove?

That way, you use Helmi's kitchen tools to make the ROM, and can set you own pagepool for memory greedy games, etc ;)

You'll be able to add a LOT of your useful OEMs before you notice any drop in memory!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cktlcmd:
The best suggestion so far. I agree. :D As you said, it would be nice if your Vanilla ROM would be packaged the same way as Helmi's Kitchen, so at least all a newbie will do is add their own OEM folder, cook their own ROM and PRESTO.... their own customized ROM to their liking.

Just remember everyone, if we make use of that allotted space for the ROM, as long as we don't exceed it, we can pack it with useful applications. Much better memory management is the end result.

---
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] ultravox:
cktlcmd, very nice explanation. That's what I thought ( from the previous posts as you mentioned). I wanted to get a confirmation.

Now we miss one input, the memory limit we have to install the apps so that we won't use the Program memory. Anyone knows?

I also agree with the procedure suggested by grayme. We just need the apps for OEM in the wiki and then everyone will pick what he needs. Just like this:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal_WM6_Kitchen_Helmi

I hope that the people already working on this can give their contribute to the link above.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grayme:
I've just read a bit up on this memory lark and it seems we need to keep things in the windows directory, as soon as we make copies in (say) program files, it duplicates the files and hence takes up more space.

I've had a look at the IM+ OEM on the ftp and it seems to do just that; but the files in Windows seem to work so I shall see if I can install it just to there and hence save 1mb of storage memory.

This hasn't resolved the program memory issue though... :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] jrronimo:
This is some really interesting information! Knowing this, I can see why a Vanilla ROM is a bad idea. I hope you can see how we wouldn't understand your point of view, cktlcmd, without this information, heh.

Since there's no way to add in some programs (such as PowerPoint), my suggestion would be to make as minimal a fully featured 'par-cooked' as possible: That is, no extra themes or ringtones, but leave in PPT & Midlet Manager so that people can remove it if they want, but it's there if they want, too.

Looks like it's time for me to play with the Kitchen... heh.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grayme:
Today I installed 12mb of OEMs to my ROM and had 38mb of storage memory free.

Taking into consideration that at least 1mb was duplicated by IM+ copying itself to program files, that became 39mb on the next attempt, so before it was really around 51mb free?

Anyone know why the XDA insists on a maximum of 40mb of storage memory out of interest?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grayme:
For those that have expressed an interest, I have uploaded my par-cooked vanilla version of Helmi's kitchen here.

Assuming you already have Helmi's kitchen, once you unpack directly to your C: drive you will need the nk.nba from the \ROM folder from Helmi's rar (so you can set your own pagepool size) and put it into the \ROM folder in here.

Please note, this is not a complete ROM you will need to cook it. You can add OEMs to it to your heart's content and I believe you can add over 12mb of them before you will notice a reduction in storage memory (because it doesn't seem to go higher than 40mb).

Disclaimer: All I have done is take Helmi's kitchen ROM (thanks again to him :)), removed the bits that I don't ever use and removed the OEMs that I put into my personal ROM before uploading this.

The one thing I have noticed is that from the Comm Manager, the Wireless LAN settings do not work from that Menu, but I've not looked into it as they are still accessible from the Connections menu and once set I never access them again.

Things removed include, Powerpoint, User Experience, Marketplace, Games, WinLive, Messenger, etc. (They are gone, removed, deleted and I have no intention of bringing them back... ;)) The ext ROM is open, called Extended_ROM2.

If you can think of a way to improve things, let me know :)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grayme:
I deleted it as I'd updated the files (fixing the issues and removing a bit more) but didn't think anyone was interested.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] DaniLoveSky:
Could you share the updated version of your ROM please. There are few interested...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] grayme:
I wouldn't upload the complete ROM to share as my ROM has applications in it that would need a serial otherwise they are just trials.

However, if you are really interested in the par-cooked ROM for you to add your own OEMs (I could put some OEMs separately for you to chose what to add) then I could put them somewhere.

I'm still testing though, so I am not ready to go public just yet.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] DaniLoveSky:
Yes, that is exactly what I am interested in - a kitchen-ready vanila ROM to add only OEMs I need. Please let us know when you finish the testing...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iriez:
EDIT- Issue has been solved with the official stock OTA sprint/G900P release (currently on OT6 deoxed)! Happy to have working GPS again!

Hello!

Ever since upgrading to 5.0 (Cyanogenmod 5.0 clean flash, and then upgrade to teamub latest build 1/11) my location has not been functional. I have the sprint version galaxy S5. With the latest teamub builds, my gps has finally been 'working' when I press the location button in maps, but it thinks that im located 50 miles away from where I am. The position has changed several times to very different area's. At first it would not find the location at all, regardless of data/LTE enabled and GPS set to on with high accuracy mode enabled on MAPS settings.

I would like to clarify that this issue persisted before the dirty flash to teamub, so I do not think its a question of a clean flash. Also, I have tried clearing the data for the maps app in settings and restarting it, which did not resolve the issue.

This is a frustrating one, as I absolutely love these rom's and LP, but the GPS is one of those deal breakers for me, it must be functional.

Any advice on troubleshooting is very welcome and thank you.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aktiv8d:
I experience this exact same issue with the latest CM12 build.

If switching the setting to Device-only location (GPS) it doesn't work at all. Waze says No GPS.

On Google Maps High Accuracy location mode seem to use only Wifi and Mobile Network calculations to determine locations. GPS is broken.

Someone told me to try TopNTP to fix it, but it didn't solve the problem.

I also tried searching and found someone on OS 4.4 saying to enter the service menu with *#0011# but that doesn't work either.

Edit for clarity: I have clean flashed new CM12 builds as they become available and have had this problem with every ROM since I switched from factory TW (6 or so diff ROM's)

*build is cm-12-20150120-UNOFFICIAL-klteusc
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iriez:
I concur that GPS is indeed broken in CM12 as well. Even though I get the GPS icon in the corner, it appears that no applications communicate with the GPS hardware to determine location. I also have found that only high accuracy mode using WIFI + Data works.

However, since you are the only person to respond with this issue, I must assume it is working for many others.

Thanks for the info and hopefully there is a solution in the near future.

For reference, what is your hardware model # ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aktiv8d:
Yes, hopefully we get someone with the same problem that found a fix or a dev that can look into the problem. Anyone else, please speak up.

Just bumping this thread because no resolution has been found.

Can anyone confirm GPS device only mode works on their S5? This is a frustrating problem because sometimes I really need GPS only accuracy.
