You must be the 1st person I've seen that says WM6.1 is FASTER than WM5!

In most places WM6.1 seems at par with WM5 but in some places it is sluggish, although not unbearable. Like answering a call.

Do you use the phone alot? ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] m4f1050:
Im not saying it's faster, it's more responsive. Answering a call and hanging up are a bit slower on the WM 6.1 and I even listen to a bit of the ring tone when I anwser and put phone on ear.

MMS

ArcSoft MMS started to work on MetroPCS after adding on the registry an entry called X-DEVICE-MIN which was similar to the X-VzW-MDN on Verizon, is there a way of doing these changes on the new MMS program?

ROM kitchen

Has anyone gotten nightraven's ROM kitchen to build?

the buildos.exe keeps throwing up at me. unless i need to read directions but there arent any. :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] m4f1050:
Can you cook one last Verizon ROM with the Generic TREO hello and goodbye? And was wondering if it would be possible to cook it without the new MMS so I can install ArcSoft since I don't know how to set up the new MMS program?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SnoopDawg:
I have the same issue, it dumps an entry in the eventlog.

I believe this is a .net flamework problem.

I was able to get the 1st script. Will shoot an update after, I slap at it some more.

Update -

I installed this and I was able to get past it:

VC 2008 Feature Pack Redistributable SP1

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...E4-ADAD-4000-ABFE-64628A267EF0&displaylang=en

Be sure to run buildos.exe -auto in the dump directory. ..\Tools\buildos.exe -auto
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
cool! thanx dude.

i'm not sure if its doing anything but it runs now.

Now i'll have to hack how to finish. running buildos.exe in dump or anywhere doesnt seem to do much and createrom.bat is upset with that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Why are you modifing the .bat files. They run correctly as designed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
So what is the order?

I run 1 - dump...then 2g'reloc... Then the 3-build.bat file keeps saying "run buildos.exe first...".
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Make sure these folders are in the root of the kitchen

OEM

SYS

ROM

TOOLS

The order is like this...

1 - dump - is used for dumping an existing rom. It's usually only used if you have deleted your SYS and OEM folders.

Make your changes to SYS and OEM

2 - g'Reloc - Always run this after making changes to SYS and OEM. It will relocate all of the modules, so they don't overlap. If you don't do this, your rom may not boot.

3 - Build - This will build the new rom with your changes. If there are no errors the new rom will be placed in the flash folder. Pay attention to the error messages if there are any. They will usually tell you what is wrong.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
COOL! rock on!!

thanx alot!

now to start cooking! :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SnoopDawg:
NightRaven, did you ever try jackin with the pagepool sizes? Dunno if it would be of any value with the 700wx.

EDIT

BTW, your post did it for me, was able to complete the ROM. I am able to build gonna start having fun with it now....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
Ok...I'm a nOOb with this kitchen stuff but I'm trying...

I took the OEM, then removed the office and onenote files and cooked the rom...it booted fine and Office was removed but I notice my today theme is light blue instead of black and when I try to change the Today theme it doesn't change...any idea why? And should all the registry changes still be there or is there something more I need to do?

EDIT: Also in network config in messaging settings it is set to "Automatic" even though I know the release ROM was set to "Manual" with a setting put in the Email Center part...am I using the wrong ROM or something?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
hmm. i noticed the same things. looks like the wrong rom is in the kitchen.

i noticed the rom version is Build 20757.1.4.0 but the release rom should be Build 20931.1.5.0.

i'm going to rebuild with the release rom and see.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
I just plugged in the release ROM into the kitchen and still the same problems...network config is "automatic" and themes are messed up...maybe I'm doing something wrong?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
odd. i just plugged in the release rom and "Manual" is selected.

did you delete too much out of the rom?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
Did you just replace the "napaboth.nb0" file in the ROM folder of the kitchen? What carrier are you using? I'm Sprint...

I just deleted the files, and then ran steps 2 and 3...it sounded like I don't need to do step 1...maybe I should?

And what theme shows up when you start? Can you change themes?

All I deleted was the Office and Onenote files...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
Yes i replaced the napaboth.nb0 in the ROM folder.

You need to initially run step 1....then make changes and delete stuff... then run step 2...then step 3. then everytime you make changes you need to run step 2 & 3, not step 1.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
What folder do you point to when running step 1? I aim it at the dump folder and it tells me that certain DSM files are missing and stalls...is that the right folder?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
You point the package tool at the dump folder...then go to "Tools" then run "Build Packages".

its deceiving but its finished when you can select File - Exit. You will end up with 2 directories in the dump folder. move those to the kitchen root.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
Thanks...I forgot to go to "Tools" and run "Build Packages" :)...I was able to delete Office, Onenote, the games, and Voice Command although I have no idea if I am leaving files behind at this point...I'm just went into the SYS folder and deleted the above mentioned folders...that seemed to work but now I have a question:

All games are deleted but the "Games" folder is still in the programs folder...how do I get rid of that?

And I'd like to get rid of "Search" and "Help" but I'm having a harder time finding those...anyone know?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
shfind and peghelp should get rid of help and search.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
Thanks...peghelp did get rid of help but shfind did not get rid of the search program...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Make sure you didn't delete the palm essentials folders. You also need to copy the OEM and SYS folders from the dump folder to the kitchen root after you dump the release rom.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
Thanks Nightraven...I got that worked out now and have figured out how to delete things...now I'm reading up on adding cabs...after using MSCE and Package Creator where do I stick the OEM package in the kitchen?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
They can go into either the OEM or SYS folders. I typically put them in the OEM folder. That way when I move to a newer SYS, my customizations stay.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
where do you get a newer SYS?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I search the upgrading, modifing and unlocking forum. The lastest SYS I know of is 20941, but it has major problems.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SnoopDawg:
It sounded like the services.exe was tripping on the newer SYS.

Has anyone tried adjusting the PagePool? Or Lennysh, did you change the PagePool any your x51v ROMS?

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ChangingPagePoolofWizardWM6Roms
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pdawg17:
Ok...I've been working on a rom in which I've deleted some unwanted stuff including the default today plugins...getting rid of the speed dial plugin turned the right softkey from "Menu" to "Contacts"...the only thing I used in the "Menu" was the call log...is there any other way to access that or a registry setting I could apply to make that my right softkey?

Secondly, is the external GPS app gpsapi.dll? I don't need that but I don't want to mess up the ability to be located in 911 emergencies...there is also gpsid.dll but not sure which one to get rid of...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Racemaster:
Impressive

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all the people involved with creating the

6.1 for the 700wx. this thread is amazing. I started out not even knowing I

could change my operating system. after reading all 107 pages I was able to

upgrade my 700wx without any probs first try & it is PERFECT. props to all you

involved.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ohhshiiiiiit:
i hope i don't make anyone mad by posting this and i have already read through all 100 pages but ill be installing this into my 700w and what is the kitchen? do i add that onto the 6.1 rom? thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] snake334:
Changed pagepool to 8mb

I think the default pagepool on this rom is 2 mb. After changing the PagePool to 8 mb, and removing some unnecessary stuffs from the kitchen, wm 6.1 seems much faster now. Search for PagePool Changer if you don't want to use hex editor.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SnoopDawg:
The kitchen is a set of modular directories used to build ROMs. The word kitchen is used to refer to "Cooking"...

OEM - (Carrier specific settings), get Carrier specific ROM's from the first page.

TOOLS - Set of tools used to cook/build the ROMS

SYS - Window Mobile Specific files, can include additional packages

ROM - Napaboth.nb0 and XIP(eXecute In Place dir)

The Napaboth.nb0 is placed in the root of your SD card on your 700w, instructions on flashing in the first post..

NightRanger is now teaching people to fish....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SnoopDawg:
Sorry to double post but I had to do this.

PagePool Changer thread

I downloaded this, took the Wm6.1 from the first post without even cooking it, ran this program against the Napaboth.nb0 file, changed the PagePool to 8MB like you suggested Snake334..

As of right now, I am VERY impressed at the responsiveness of this. Right now, it appears to be the magic needed. I even went back to EBags Wm6. But with the Pagepool resized, this is running much better..

In the words of Jim Carrey in The Mask, it is "Smokin!"
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
Holy crap!!! NOTICEABLE speed increase!!!

I trimmed my ROM pretty heavily as well.

This is on par with WM5 performance now.

I wonder what will happen if I set the pagepool to be 16MB? :D (brick)

FYI: I'm not even using XCPUScaler yet!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SnoopDawg:
I am using XCPUScaler and it is like silk even without trimming. I saw Snake334's post last night and tried it with ROM.

My understanding on the Pagepool would be instead of using the XIP method, it uses RAM.

I found my phone face planting when a phone call would come in. It would just soil itself, leaving a brown stain in my pants... I have received calls and be able to answer them before they go to voice mail.

As long as I am not running 10 ghey applications at the same time it should be fine. However, increasing the PagePool does allow for more ghey applications to run concurrently.

I really tripped out on the performance of this, it has been rather impressive. This is the kung fu this little phone that could, needed..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
You are soooo correct! calls come in fast! like it should! :cool:

I am almost afraid to try overclocking it...might try a conservative setting later as i'm running Spb Mobile Shell and its still painfully fast without overclocking.

I saw your post a few days ago about the pagepool and looked it up but I found nothing but hex editing hacks. I was quickly discouraged from trying.

i saw a newer SYS hanging around; 20945. not sure yet what it fixes.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ohhshiiiiiit:
anyone have the problem of having outgoing text messages being all scrambled up with random letters
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
I noticed that with an older ROM.

And they're not really random characters, it's calculated. :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Safetytx:
I cant believe the speed increase with just changing to 8mb. Should I go any higher or do I risk screwing something up?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
In theory it should make it faster but take up alot more memory.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] snake334:
I don't think it'll help. Anything other than the default of 2 mb will see big improvement on speed. In fact, there's not much differences in speed increase between 4, 6, or 8 mb. PagePool affects the available memory on your device. To check free ram after the change, go to Start > Settings > System > About.

You'll notice that changing the Pagepool to 8mb reduces the memory to 51.33 mb from 57 something.

From my tests, combining overclocking with PagePool, and cook the rom a little bit [some info. here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Windows_Mobile_6_Parts_Reference] make this even faster than the Ebag rom 5 that I tested awhile ago.

And if you're going to cook the rom, search for SQM... there's a dummy dll file on this site that prevent MS from collecting information on your device. It prevent SQM from running in the background, which reduces some memory usage there.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Excellent work guys! PagePool Changer works great.

What is your recommened size. Let me know, and I repost the roms with the changes.

I'm guessing 8Mb or should I really just do 4Mb.

I flashed the release rom using 8Mb. I can't believe how much faster it is.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
I would recommend 4mb for a conservative size. This would give a decent amount of RAM left over and performance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kevinjosephmorin:
NightRaven,

I am new to the forum, and installed the Sprint version from yesterday with the pagepool changed to 8MB. It is fast and the features are great. "Internet Sharing" is slick. Thanks for your hard work!

While I was playing, I found a link that you might find interesting. It pertains to Windows Mobile 6.1.4, which has a new version of IE Mobile (including: flashplayer + panning). Hopefully, someone will be able to come up with a way to get it to install on the Treo 700wx.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I was running 6.1.4 in an earlier rom. However, I had to remove the new IE because it requires a 500Mhz or faster processor, and ran like crap on the 700wx.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
Here is a link to the roms a 4Mb PagePool.

Alltel/Bell/Telus - Release 1.1 Build 20931

Verizon - Release 1.1 Build 20931

Sprint - Release 1.1 Build 20931

CE OS 5.2.20924 (Build 20931.1.5.0)

Release 1.0 with the following changes

Change PagePool size from 2Mb to 4Mb. Dramatically improved speed. Special thanks to SnoopDawg and snake334 for spotting and coming up with a solution to this problem!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] flipfone:
Ill second that! I cant wait to try it later! woot!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] snake334:
Thanks NightRaven for your continuing hard work.

Now if someone has the patience, download spb benchmark [free for personal used] and test whether there's any speed differences between 4, 6, or 8 mb PagePool. This would help us to decide which PagePool size is better.... of course with the assumption that people have an add-on SD memory stick, and that 4mb differences in size is not significant.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] uNiXpSyChO:
hasnt this already been done?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=295932
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SnoopDawg:
I believe the pagepool size should be tied to the # of running programs. If you have several applications running, they would run utilizing the pagepool..

# of pole smoking apps < pagepool size.

Something like Google maps, if it is dawg slow then it doesn't matter.

SPB will perform your typical benchmarks where the use timings. So, when you run spb, it will occupy the pagepool, thus a greater pagepool wouldn't provide any value.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] snake334:
I was done for a device... I don't know if it would be the same for this. so just wondering
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Racemaster:
thank you for the 4mb. It's great.

Forgive me for my noobi-ness, I may have misunderstood, but should MMS now work on my Telus phone? maybe I have to activate it?

thanks for your incredible works that allow guys like me with no knowledge to still have the cool stuff!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kevinjosephmorin:
Nightraven,

Have you tried 6.1.4 with the bigger pagepool? If not, perhaps that would allow IE to run fast enough.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fleiscpj:
Known Issues

As of release 1.1, what are the known issues/bugs?

Is there still overall lag and lag when answering calls?

Are there any known issues specific to certain builds?

On a side note.....

I am considering on adding some of the apps from eBaggs WM6 ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] flipfone:
Ok its certainly fast enough plus xcpuscaler = awesomeness!! oly issue i seem to have so far is..... Windows Media player isnt working??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I'm not having any problems with media player. The only change in this rom is the PagePool size. I took the .nb0 files from the release rom (now 1.0) and ran the PagePool Changer app on them. That was it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
IN SMS go to menu options, and advanced. Hit the edit button, and entery the mms settings for Telus. You "should" only need to enter the MMS URL.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
The only change was the PagePool size. Everything else is the same.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NightRaven:
I'm not sure it will help much. There is a cab file for it running around this site somewhere. I would search for "Internet Explorer Mobile 6" in the "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking" forum.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] flipfone:
yea i know i thought it was weird....

I've been using the 6.1 release since it came out and spent a lot of time getting my phone customized and apps installed.

Thanks !!

Sprite won't override the PagePool size.

Nightraven,

I wasn't able to find a .cab for the new IE. I saw a thread, but didn't find any .cab file. Is it easy for you to try to build a ROM with it built in so that I can test it?

Package Creator

Probably a stupid question...

I downloaded NightRaven's 6.1 Kitchen.

Could someone point me in the direction of the programs I need to turn a *.cab into a OEM package?

Also, let's say I wanted to trim out Office and Voice Command...

Is it really as simple as deleting their folders from the SYS directory, running 2-g'reloc and the 3-build?
