F.A.Q.

Guide to Seeing MAX RAM:

In order to see the below effect, after initial startup be sure to go to Settings - Home Today - remove all Home Today options. Go to Program Files and Click Oxio. You will generally see around 30MB free. Now Reboot the Device. Once it starts when you click on the Start Menu you'll see Oxio as a quick shortcut since you used it last. Click that and you'll see the max Free Ram Upto 38MB. (128/96Dpi Mode)

What is RamDisk? Why do you let me configure it?

Unlike Flashdisk, RamDisk is temporary storage. It's used to store files or temporary files and folders till you reboot. One of the most common uses of it is to store Internet Browsing History/Cookies/Temp files there, so once you reset your phone it clears up. If you don't use RAMDISK and surf the net alot, cleaning your extra useless temp files and cookies can be a nuisance. This helps you out. You can create ramdisks from 2/4MB as high as 32MB on the 64 Uni and possibly more on the 128MB uni depending upon requirement. Remember once you reset your device the files stored in the ramdisk will wipe out. Some users don't need high ram disks and some don't need them at all. Meanwhile some users do a lot of surfing and want to clear their cache/temp/traces without pains of software. This ensures that!

Guide to Get Extra Storage & RamDisk:

1) Use the attached Ext-Rom Unlock Cab to get 10 MB Additional Storage!

2) See the RAMDISK Install.txt inside Ext ROM to get your ram disk active.

Why don't you use version 19900 (or newest cores) like others?

The simplest reason is I found Thing_xx Kitchen to be stable, fast and effective. I know everyone loves seeing the latest thing, but

I personally believe what is Best is what is Effective and Efficient (Stable, Fast, Secure).

The latest ROM's seem to have tons of bugs and issues (probably because of quick porting and less depth analysis). I find the kitchen I use as a very stable one, and one that offers the best overall. Y

ou must also realise that the Universal was given Windows Mobile 5.0 and not 6.x!

All Roms that are 6.x for the Universal are ported. As a result you might never find a perfect compatible rom for the Universal. I feel stability on any 6.x rom kitchen is important.

My ROM's are aimed to be Stable, Fast & Effective (in that order).

Why is my RAM less at times?

After loading the system (bootup) , if you go to program files or settings or any other location of the device, ram is utilized immediately. Even after you exit the program folder, some of the ram is "cached" in so later attempts go faster. As a result ram may vary time to time. Our initial startup ram mentioned goes through a quick process of multiple steps and a reboot in order to remove the extra cache. Movements made after seeing the initial ram will change the amount of free ram from time to time. It is possible that if you're using the RAMDISK it will convert there.

I need help! Can You Help Me?

If you need help please email me directly at admin @ rdosti.com or add me on msn messenger: insidefremont@hotmail.com. Otherwise feel free to use the Xda Forums for help, suggestions,etc. I can not guarantee a response or a solution. I will try to help you out if I can.

"Wow! I love your rom. I wish I could help you!"

You actually can help me in one of the 3 ways as mentioned:

1) PM or email me and become a partner (help me find cabs, test roms and do some fun testing stuff).

2) Send me an email at admin @ rdosti.com , thanking me and telling me how you loved or liked the rom. (Keeps me motivated)

3) If you can donate even a dollar or more, I would appreciate it. I can't ask for funds, but if you feel I deserve it or feel you want to thank me, this would be a great way for me to get another handset (universal or other and make more roms) (probably motivational as well). I don't drink, so I can't ask for a beer :) - Donations can be sent to admin @ rdosti.com (PayPal).

Instructions to Flash:

Hold "Flashlight Bulb Icon & the Power On Button" (at the same time) and using your pin/stick push the "soft reset" button. Wait till you get a screen that shows your bootloader on the bottom. I advise using the latest bootloader for your G3/G4 device.

The "bulb icon" is on the center-side of your PocketPC next (left of) the volume (up & down/left & right) key OR on the right side of the camera & speech/recorder hardware key.

The "power button" is on the top side of the Pocketpc - right next to the SDCARD/MMC card slot.

The "reset" hole/button is on the side behind the pocketpc (opposite side of the bulb icon key). The "reset" hole is the tiny hole in between the charger port and the headphone jack.

Is Your Rom 100% Safe?

No, my Rom Is NOT 100% Safe. I take no liability of any issues arising due to the flashing or trying to flash of the ROM or any of my work. There are chances things may mess up and cause issues or even "brick" or "kill" your phone.

Your phone should be SIM-Unlocked before flashing. We have used the Universal RUU (CID bypassing) in our zip, however remember all ROM's have a chance of failure or causing problems. I take no responsibility of the way by ROMs are used.

Thanks to: THING_V41.build28, and all - Ranju/Tomal, Other Cookers, members and supporters. Thanks to EFN for Kitchen. Special thanks to Teh Penguin (for belief and trust), and to my fellow friends and members!

Disclaimer : It's fast,"stable"(Non crashing/freezing), and very "non--eye candy". Use/Flash ROM at your own risk. Disasters might happen. I take no responsibility for the same.
