[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] GnatGoSplat:
Updates

Mar 24, 2008 - All ROMs: Updated to 5.2.1629 (Build 18136.0.4.8), upgraded Smartdialing, removed registry hack for menu sounds. On AT&T 8125 ROM only: replaced Westtek ClearVue PDF with AdobeLE PDF Reader 2.0, Intent Tao Java with Esmertec Jeodek, and HTC PhonePad with HTC Touch keypad.

Jan 28, 2008 - Added vanilla ROM in kitchen form (see below).

Dec 20, 2007 - Original T-Mobile and AT&T releases.

Here is a ROM so boring, it looks like a run-of-the-mill carrier-branded OEM ROM with all the same apps and equally as bloated! This was my first effort at ROM cooking, so please don't judge too harshly! :)

I currently have 2 boring versions for USA devices, one for the AT&T 8125 and one for the T-Mobile MDA. Both are built on the latest shipping version of WM6 I could get ahold of: 5.2.1629 (Build 18136.0.4.8) from the Sprint Mogul (HTC Titan) which was released on Mar 10, 2008.

Why 5.2.1629?

This is possibly the newest real WM6 available right now. 19xx builds that are "AKU 0.7.0" are older eval ROMs. If there is a newer shipping build out there, let me know about it and I will update accordingly.

I believe PagePool is 8MB.

Your device must be SuperCID to use these ROMs.

1. For AT&T 8125

This ROM was originally based on a port from the 8525, but I've changed a few apps since companies of some of the apps are no longer in business (i.e. Intent Tao).

Apps:

ArcSoft MMS 3.5.1.24C

Cyberon Voice Speed Dial v1.2 Build ??????

HTC SmartDialing v2.5 (Build ??????)

HTC Zip v1.20 (Build 27216)

Esmertec Jeodek (replaces Intent Tao Java - no longer in business)

AdobeLE PDF Reader 2.0 (replaces Westtek Clearvue PDF)

HTC Task Manager (X-Button) v1.51 Build 30470.

HTC Camera v3.00 (Build 23027).

HTC SIM Manager v6.31.

HTC Comm Manager v1.8.1.0.

Windows Live (because 8125 had MSN Messenger)

Remote Desktop (because 8125 had Terminal Services)

HTC Touch Dual Keyboard (replaces PhonePad, it's a big improvement)

VoIP

Registry modifications:

10-buttons in Comm Manager.

SAPSettings moved to Control Panel (never tried it, but looks interesting).

KNOWN BUGS:

Wifi notification always says "Turn on Wi-Fi" even when it's already on. This is a WM6 bug that even the 8525 shipping ROM has (at least, according to threads I've read on another forum).

AddContacts.exe in ExtROM doesn't actually add any contacts for some reason.

AT&T 8125 ROM Download (OS only)

The extended ROM is not included in the above download. The ROM should work fine with the Cingular extended ROM. However, I have 2 flavors of ExtROM available. Both ExtROMs will change your splash screen to the 8525 AT&T logo and give you the AT&T theme, HTC default ringtones, and other AT&T settings.

Basic ExtROM+Splash - Rebranding from Cingular to AT&T, just basic CABs to set the theme, etc. NO TRIALWARE.

Full ExtROM+Splash - Contains all the trialware from the OEMOPERATORS of the 8525. You will get a bunch of trial software that expires in 30-days like XMRadio, MobiTV, MusicID, and other stuff.

2. For T-Mobile MDA

This ROM is virtually a direct port from the latest shipping T-Mobile Wing ROM. Basically, it is the 5.2.1622 core OS and merged it with the OEMAPPS from the Wing. The ExtROM is INCLUDED with this ROM and if allowed to customize, will install T-Zones and all that. HTC default ringtones were moved into ExtROM to make room. It seems to work okay, but there are some things I can't test like MyFaves - it doesn't even show up, but I don't subscribe to MyFaves and the Wing manual implies you need to subscribe to it for it to even show up.

Apps ported directly from Wing:

ArcSoft MMS 4.0.31.15

Esmertec Java 20070124-113964.2.1

Adobe Reader LE 2.0

Bluetooth Explorer

Symbol Pad

MyFaves 2.0

Apps upgraded/changed from Wing versions:

HTC SmartDialing v2.5 (Build 27526)

HTC Task Manager (X-Button) v1.51 Build 30470 (original was 1.5).

HTC Camera v3.00 (Build 23027) - Wing camera wouldn't work on Wizard.

HTC SIM Manager v6.31 - Original was 5.something.

HTC Zip v1.20 (Build 27216) - Original was 1.11.

Registry modifications:

Start menu sounds.

Items removed:

LockStream DRM (caused problems, had to remove it).

KNOWN BUGS:

AddContacts.exe in ExtROM doesn't actually add any contacts for some reason.

3. Vanilla ROM

This is a "vanilla" ROM using the 5.2.1622 core. It's nothing more than SYS, OEM, and ROM folders (it is NOT flashable as is). Just drop into the Build folder of your favorite kitchen, put your packages into the OEM folder, and cook your own custom ROM. It comes with only the camera (in the HTC folder) and CODECs (in the Default folder), although you can remove that and use your own if you wish. It does come with the necessary drivers and base control panel apps.

Vanilla SYS, OEM, and ROM folders for cooking (OS only, this is NOT a flashable .nbf file)

Sorry for the crappy screenshots, I don't have a good free program for that.
