What about changing that boring preloader??? is this possible??

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work done by all members of this forum... very useful...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Herbalisation:
Its called a welcome screen. its just an image in a folder...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] djfatti:
where is it located?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Herbalisation:
Im not entirely sure, but I think its somewhere in the windows folder. if you install schap's advanced config tool from http://www.touchXperience.com , you can click the "htc animation" section and load custom files from any location, and I think it'll copy it to the right folder. I havent done this myself, I just see the option in advconfig.

A search on "welcome screen" and "startup gif" might give you some stuff made by other xda users.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] djfatti:
i was not saying for the welcome screen that appears when switch on the device i was saying for the preloader before a program runs that circle with four colours can it be changed to something cool! hope you understand now
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] miffymiffy:
there is an application you can download called Marshall wait cursor. you wull find it in the dev and hacking forum.

that will be the best for you without having to change MUI and DLL files. At least this way you can change them if they get old...

We all know about Skyfire "old news" there are posts about YouTube viewing already please don't make new threads if the relevant info is already posted.

Please use the search before posting.

Isn't tracker equivalent to searcher? If it is then he should've searched first and realized that we have talked about skyfire since it was a baby on beta stages. Thanks for the info anyways.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] Jbazt_katuforzs:
my atom pure's touchscreen is totally not functioning. tried to upgrade different roms but still no help. so i buy a touchscreen replacement and send it to somebody who can fit it on. the touchscreen replacement fits well but the problem is when im on the screen alignment program, point tapping dont end!! i meant the alignment process never ends. i installed a registry editor so that i can edit the touch settings value. but since the screen is not aligned cant use the virtual keyboad to input the necessary value. so i need the help of chefs here to apply my idea. is it posibble to cooked the correct alignment value on rom and at the same time skipping the alignment screen after a had reset just like what we have on some of hermes rom? if this proceedure is already implemented please send me a link of that rom so that i could try it coz i have a feeling that it will solve my problem.:)

thanks a lot more power

If I've missed any please let me know. These are NOT the only ROM's nor are they the "best" ROM's for the Kaiser just a list of the ROM's that seam to be the most popular.

Why did you post this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] erwinpiero:
Does it's based on number of post or viewers who's came to related ROM threads? Why don't we just do polling or something? But i guess member here rarely used only one ROM, it's keep changing :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Travito:
is this really necessary?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] siddesh_0110:
i feel it is just like adding a new thread with no benefits n discussions...

I think it is an against rule.. so MOD to take the call on this!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] denco7:
What is the big deal? ......What , is he taking much needed space away from all the new 6.5 roms coming out ? Look around, things are kind of slow around here with links being taken down, chefs canceling their new 6.5 releases

This is not a "what is best thread," it merely consolidates all the chefs in one area,.........If it is tagged right, now all a noob has to do is come to rom development, type " popular roms " into search and he will come right to this page, to link and compare. No harm, could be helpful.

Don't forget ansar's roms, get the link in my signature.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ai6908:
Make this sticky!

Maybe add older but good ROMS like dutty's, Laurentis, etc!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Fingerlickin:
I didn't expect to be flamed for making a post that would help me. If it helps me then I'm sure it would help others here on the forums.

I'm not claiming these are the best ROM's, What I did was sort the forum by number of posts and then started listing, I skipped over the threads that was old but apparently some of those ROM's are still used so I'll include those too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msd24200:
your not really being flamed its just that this is rom development forum and your thread has nothing to do with that,or with even aiding in rom dev. maybe you should put this in the kaiser-general forum?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] denco7:
The only problem is I don't think noobs are going to use the search function in the general forum to find a popular rom list. They are going to come here, to rom dev. Yes they could just go up and down the forum threads looking at post totals for different roms, but we all know clueles noobs.

I would love for them to be able to input "popular roms " into the search function and have them be directed to a list. Or as we get the inevitalbe " what is the best rom " question, which gets asked here, more than in the Kaiser general forum " here is the list of popular roms ", " follow the links and test and compare for yourself "

Could be helpful.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Travito:
Once upon a time, XDA made this thing, it was grand, it's called THE WIKI.

Where there is already an extensive ROM list.

Instead of making a new thread, update the WIKI.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msd24200:
agreed it is far more extensive
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] denco7:
And that is why the thread is not called " every rom ever written for the Kaiser " because that is in the wiki. Lets face it when the noobs come to this Kaiser forum, they are looking for the latest and the greatest, the stuff all the other kids are using.

They are not looking or willing to to filter through yesterdays news just to get the newest stuff. Don't get me wrong, Leo, Dutty, NATF, and all are legends and always will be, but they have moved on. In some cases the chefs are not even supporting their old threads that are still listed in the wiki.

We hear enough complaints as it is about all the old info a noob has to go through to get the " new stuff ".

This is kind of a thanks and props to the guys that have stayed behind and still support us, and a thanks to the ( Josh, KaiserII101, ngy ) new chefs stepping up, by moving them to the top of the " every rom available for the Kaiser" list .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=492757

Go here follow the links to the latest and the greatest and decide for yourself. Easy Answer ?

Not meaning to be a jerk with so many posts, I'm just sayin............:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mcp2:
I've got to admit that this thread helped me find a good naked ROM, namely AthineOS. I probably would have found it in the end but who knows how long that would have taken?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msd24200:
and that stuff 9 times out of 10 is on the 1st or 2nd page of the kaiser forum, hence threads like these AREN'T needed. ;)

edit: not to mention that this is the "Kaiser Rom Development forum" not a come and get it/heres your menu forum, these "kids" need to be searching/learning before they EVER think about flashing a rom. or all you get is theses spoon fed "kids" not reading/searching, bricking their phones more than they do now!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DamionFury:
<soapbox>

I've been lurking XDA for quite some time, have read countless threads, and flashed numerous ROMs. I'm no chef/expert, but I'm not a n00b either. My visits to XDA are far from regular and usually involve either obtaining a new ROM or checking on the status of Android on the Kaiser. I greatly appreciate the work of everyone who cooks ROMs, administrates the forum/wiki, or just generally puts in time to help the community, and try to stay out of the way unless I have a good question or something useful to add. I use the search function and the wiki religiously. In short, I'm probably a good example of the typical XDA visitor. Here's my opinion:

@Fingerlickin: Thank you. The effort is appreciated, but I don't imagine you'll want to come back and update this every few months. If you make a new wiki page or add the popularity info to the existing ROM list, other people can update it in future. Then, you could just edit your post and make it a link to the wiki (or have the mods add the link to the FAQ) so that it comes up in forum searches.

@Travito & msd24200: You say that a more extensive list can be found elsewhere and that a post like this doesn't belong in the ROM development forum. With all due respect, I think you are missing the point. Fingerlickin didn't post a list of all ROMS, he posted something of a Top 8 list. It wasn't intended to be comprehensive.

Could he have updated the wiki instead of making a new post? Sure, but (at the time of this post) that page was last updated in January.

Could any given XDA visitor get this information on their own? Yes, but it can be confusing, frustrating, and time consuming. ROM authors and update threads change, and some of the most popular ROMs are no longer maintained.

Should this be somewhere else? I don't believe so. If I'm interested in getting a ROM, I go to where the ROM developers post them. They don't post in Kaiser General, so I don't go there for ROMs. Naturally, I wouldn't expect to find a list of popular ROMs there, either.

Frankly, I think the FAQ actually has too much info, especially since there's a wiki with all of that (and more). As for the wiki, it's not the easiest thing to navigate. For example, a search for "Kaiser" brings up a list of pages, but should I click the HTC_Kaiser link, or the Kaiser link? If I'm looking for info on Kaiser ROMs, do I choose KaiserROMs or Kaiser_ROMs? KaiserROMs directs me to see either Kaiser Cooked Roms or Kaiser Shipped Roms, the latter being a link to the Kaiser_ROMs page.

My point is simply this: Fingerlickin's post lists several of the most popular, and still updated, ROMs. This info is not available on the wiki or in the FAQ, and pertains directly to the ROMs developed and posted on this forum. It might be easier to maintain if it were on the wiki, but it might end up harder to find. It's definitely not redundant or in the wrong forum, and it IS a time saver.

</soapbox>
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stylez:
Exactly all the most up to date things will be within first 2 pages and even if not then surely it's worth putting in the effort to find a ROM that you want and like, by that i mean to do a bit of research read some of the reviews flash it and then probably go somewhere else and flash untill you find the ROM that suits your needs and wishes, blah blah too many threadz with Help\Fastest ROM\Best ROM or just posted in the bloody wrong section.

Blah Blah Blah..............

msd24200 where's that cat when you need him? :D

DamionFury: I read it all and you have some valib point but time consuming is all part of it your flashing a UK £200ish phone............. Take some time, do some learning..... You don't need to use the search for Kaiser ROMs go through the pages of ROM Development and you can just flip & flip & flip till you find what you want???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DamionFury:
I enjoy using my phone when it has a ROM that I like; I don't enjoy spending hours finding that ROM. I have far too many things I'd rather be doing. I spend the time finding the ROM because I believe that it's worth it, but anything that reduces the expenditure is great in my book.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msd24200:
and again there is no point to be missing the fact is this is a rom development thread not a come and get it and here's the menu thread. THIS HAS BEEN GONE OVER AND OVER AND OVER so many times. the roms that are "hot" will always be on the first couple of pages of the forum because so many use them they don't have time to drop back to page 3. you guys that want to spoon feed should start your own website linking back to the rom threads on here then. and as far as the wiki goes it's all there and ANYONE can update the wiki at anytime.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DamionFury:
This is clearly a sore spot and I'm really not trying to be a pain in the ass. I totally agree with you that this is a forum about developing ROMs (I'm assuming that you meant rom development forum, not thread). Whether you view the posting of ROMs to the forum as an offering to the public or a request that another developer test it, I'm pretty sure that anyone posting a ROM intends for people to find and download it. After all, you develop the ROM on your computer and your phone. You use a forum to discuss and/or disseminate the ROM you are developing. That makes this a place to come in order to obtain and discuss ROMs. As people try out these ROMs, some will become more popular than others. Assuming that these ROMs have become popular for a specific reason, many people will choose to try them, perhaps to "see what the big deal is." For my own part, there's always something that annoys me about a ROM, so I'm always on the lookout for a ROM I like better. Following the afore mentioned logic, a post that gives me links to many of the popular ROMs will be quite helpful.

You say it's not a "here's the menu [forum]". I say it rather is, since each thread posted by a ROM chef is rather like a menu item. As a person interested in obtaining a ROM, I need to pick from the available "entrees" (if you will). If this isn't supposed to be a forum to obtain ROMs, why post them?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stylez:
I can't speak for msd24200 but i think you have taken his post out of context....

What i can say is that no matter how much time you take finding the ROM it will be no where near how much time has been taken into making the ROM available to the public, so maybe a bit of searching isn't really that hard?

Same then goes for you find the ROM you like then you have issues lots of people have taken there time to compile relevant info on pretty much every subject, to which is why people need to get used to using the search...

I'm in no way belittleing anyone or trying to flame but sometimes you have to understand that many hardcore users and even mods get fed up with sorting out issue that would have been solved by the same infomous search function.

My point if i can remeber it is that if we spoonfeed people then all we do is make our lifes harder.

I'm totally up for the WIKI being updated and if my net wasn't so flakey i'd get on to it myself.

So please people who think we should have more info take your time to update the WIKI as it will be here far longer than this thread :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] parleyp:
I appreciate all the comments here and frankly am surprised that the thread is still alive. I do take time to update the wiki and list the roms we on the phoenix team develop and other authors do the same.

I do think everyone has some valid points...msd correctly points out that the hotter roms and ones that are current will be in the first two pages of the forum--most of the time. There are occasions where they will slip because we are working on new ports/builds and ideas.

The development process ebbs and flows and behind the scenes many of the chefs do work together to bring everyone quality products that extend the lives of our very expensive devices that HTC and MS and our providers would love us to throw away every 6 months---which is why we only usually see one official update to them from those sources. We all work very hard to bring out cutting edge stuff and the developers in the r&d thread work hard to port new apps for us to use so that we can make the device what is should have been in the first place.

All that being said, xda is a big place and a newbie can easily get lost. I am not in favor of spoon feeding but do feel that we can treat everyone with respect. The forum has changed for the better in this regard as newbies aren't being flamed...usually we answer the question and then a mod politely closes the thread.

So let's all keep up making this a better, more informative place for all of us.

Newbies--try to read as much as you can before creating new threads. I have been here over two years---and only created one thread. There is always something you can find that is relevant and to which you can get answers to your questions.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Travito:
well said.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Seems like us Kaiser mods are around less frequently than we used to be :D

The most popular ROMs get the most responses and therefore show up on the first page. Any other ROM should be added to the wiki, as every else has said. Any one can edit the wiki, so it's that much easier to manage than a private thread. With all this being said, this thread is closed.

So i changed themes mid-competition and ran out of time and motivation. So i have here for everyone...a mostly done theme. I will finish this theme in the next few days and also be releasing another theme that i started for this competition.

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words...here is 8000 words for you!

Things left to do:

A better boot screen. Had an idea that isn't working out.

Finish some of the .9s that are left over, some seem to fit well.

Redo the clock, again!

Add Wallpapers.

things left in comments.

Hope everyone likes the theme and I look forward to almost missing the next deadline, Thanks for the extra day! =)
