[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Guys, the people at PPCGeeks have downloaded and used the SDK released for WM 6.5 today. I am downloading it. They are saying that the SDK shows the build 21234 in it and that is a sure fact that 21234 was the RTM build. SO can anybody tell me the experiences with 21234 build, was it stable enough, was it eating memory like before?

Actually 21278 build is from some other company working on it and it can be based on an older build. So if 21234 is the RTM, i guess i will make a ROM on that one too. Please guys, feedback on both these build is very crucial. Do contribute as much as you can.
[P3400 ROM Development] ankit360:
21725 - 21728 is better then 21234

217xx has some new file

but i will go for 21234 because its from Official Source

overall there is no big difference between 21234 vs 21728

i flash ROM with official 21234 SYS hour before so can't tell you in brief

if you need SYS ( extract from emulator ) tell me i will share that.
[P3400 ROM Development] ank707:
downloading ryt nw.......wil update soon.......
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Yes Ankit, please share the SYS, i would like to test it out. And please include XIP too :)
[P3400 ROM Development] Duron23:
@ Karzy,

I have being using 21234 build ROM, and found it to be very stable, fast and memory leaking issue was at minimal.

Infact I normally get around 22-19 MB of RAM even after a day of using it.

I am using Helgee's rom. No issues though the phone does not switch off when you hold the power button, instead it switches off the phone function. That's totally related to the cooking I belive not the issue of the build. Else its a very stable and good ROM.

Tested this on NEW GENE, if you want I can test it on OLD gene as well, because I have two GENE's :D OLD and NEW both.

Let me know if you need any other info regarding this build.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Helgee, i am running the emulator extracted SYS as well as XIP and to tell you, i dont find any difference between 21728 and 21234. I think the 217xx builds are built around the RTM buid and its being tweaked by some manufacturer.

I think i will remain with the RTM for some time now. Builds are coming out like anything. there on PPC Geeks, Da_g even announced that 21731 and 21806 builds are out. He is on vacation, otherwise these builds would have been shared with us at this moment.

One good thing that this emulator has done is that it has provided a good 96 DPI source for qvga. Its official so i feel more comfortable with it :)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Thats really great. Although i am aware of the issue with Helgee's ROM, there is little i can recommend. I too had this issue once when i was trying some new taskbar icons on Vanilla Manila. But then i removed the files and restored original and on next flash, power button was working ok. I have no idea what the problem is.

And one more thing, if you want to make this ROM faster, set the pagepool to 5 MB. YOu will get 1 MB less mem, but performances gets a lot better :)
[P3400 ROM Development] Duron23:
@ Karzy,

Thanks for suggesting to increase the pagepool size.

But I am still learning the art of ROM cooking, I am a slow learner. So I won't be able to do that soon myself.

Power button not switching off is not a big issue for me. I am ok with it. Its really a good rom (helgee's rom) or build 21234.
[P3400 ROM Development] ankit360:
can you plz tell me how u extract xip from emulator

Update ok i got it now
[P3400 ROM Development] karan999:
i downloaded the Pro users v3...the latest wm6.5 rom...

n when i extracted....i got this error...

"THE FILE IS CORRUPT"

and only 17mb is extracted. :( :(

can u please upload a fixed version?????
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
@karan:

You need to re download. BTW, do NOT use a download manager to download the ROM.
[P3400 ROM Development] haree:
i have also loaded it on my phone@karan@Krazy

hi karan

re download the file i have downloaded it and have also loaded the same on my phone

@krazy

will gv feedback by EOD thanks :D
[P3400 ROM Development] Duron23:
Hey even I got the broken file error when tried to extract NEW gene ROM.

Re-Downloading it again. Will update back how it goes.

Update : nope the NEW Gene Rom file is broken. Will try OLD GENE one and update back.

@Karzy : Can you please re-upload the file.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Oh, sorry guys, reuploading it now.

@Duron: There is nothing complex in changing the pagepool buddy, just get the pagepoolchanger.exe from here, start it and select the ROM. Then use the radio button as well as teh up/down slider to choose the pagepool size, and click Change button. Thats it :)

@ALL: Guys, 21234 is running rock solid. I guess the official version does not have any memory problems just like this build doesnt have any. :) I may post the RTM rom on forum as well.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:

[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Thanks a lot for the feedback buddy :) Enjoy! But just a little request, i will highly appreciate if bold and other formattings are used only when an emphasis on something is needed. Otherwise it makes the text a bit hard to read :)

my feedbak

hi

i loaded the same today morning

the rom is good and fast

1.have around 23MB memory after loading fingerkeyboard,mortscipt,sdcert ,favpeople & titanium customizer

the windows screen looks very nice realy like it:D

i did expect a good keyboard preloaded but its ok i have loaded fingerkeyboard

i have no complaints as of now and dont expect any as this has come from sumit:D im sure it will be smooth and good thanks buddy nice rom :D:D
[P3400 ROM Development] funguru:
my feedbak with gene u on? im on old cant see all that in my v3
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@Haree: SDKCerts is not preinstalled on this ROM, you dont have to install it manually now :)

@funguru: Sorry but i dont get you buddy?
[P3400 ROM Development] austinmeyn:
Hey Bro....im using p3450. So this rom can b installed in the same, if yes. Then how. As i have tried every possible steps. PLS HELP :(:confused:
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
No P3450 is a different phone, you cant use these roms on it. P3450 is HTC Touch and is known as Elf. Go to the Elf forum for roms. And please remember that elf and elfin are two different phone, albeit look the same. SO make sure you choose the right rom. Ok.

One more thing, unless there is something you want to point out in a post, dont quote it. It makes the thread harder to read for others and filled with useless junk.
[P3400 ROM Development] Duron23:
@karzy

Thanks for uploading the new GENE rom again. Downloaded it and flashed it.

Looks cool so far, let us know when you will be going to make the RTM rom. If possible can you put skined calculator, MyPhone Service and a nice finger friendly keyboard into your next rom build.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
I am already running it :D But you people may not like it coz it doesn't have anything missing from the default windows mobile 6.5. Windows Live, marketplace, myphone etc, its all there. Having 37.7 mb of free phone mem and 22 MB ram with 5 MB PP.
[P3400 ROM Development] Duron23:
@ krazy

Can you please provide me that ROM I will love to use it. I want a rom with all the default application in it released with 6.5

If possible can you give it unprotected or let me know where can I find it. I am searching a unprotected and uncustimized 6.5 ROM for GENE its ok if it is or NEW or OLD gene. Anything will work as long as it is unprotected and uncustimized, so that I can use it as my base ROM.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
well i will give you the sys and xip that i am using, with all the fixes applied. I have just removed the Autoupdate, SQM and recmodded the files that need it (the IE files, otherwise you cant use 3rd party keyboards). Will upload in some time.
[P3400 ROM Development] Duron23:
ooh, that really great.

Thanks krazy. I want to cook my own rom, but I want to use a default rom as my base rom initially.
[P3400 ROM Development] karan5124:
can we flash this wm 6.5 edition on a new gene ..

from the sd card..

and is this method safe ..

what should be the precautions.??

thx in advance
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
I dont think so, but you can try it, it wont harm, it just wont work at worst. Rename the RUU_Signed.nbh to GENEIMG.nbh, format your SDCard to FAT32 with default allocation size and put the rom on it. Put the card into phoen and restart phone while pressing the camera button, if you are successful, you will see a white screen with instrcutions. Otherwise you can assume that its not working.
[P3400 ROM Development] haree:
@krazy

hi

i dont understand what u say below

do u mean it is pre installed and i dont need to install it again:confused:

i use this because some themes made in cab form need the same

kindly clarify i also install mort script because of the same reason :D
[P3400 ROM Development] PREMOLIKES:
Can anyone give a mirror in rapidshare(old gene)?

I always think that the ram can be expanded by installing camera loader, does this rom have camera loader installed?.

If not try this.

just a help for new users.

1.install camera loader , not camera on off application.

2. In file explorer, go to programs - camera loader - camera loader...

3.place a short of camera loader in start menu.

4.Then setting- button, assign camera loader to hardware camera button.

5. enjoy more ram
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Can you provide a link to camera loader please?

@Haree: Sorry, i wrote "not" instead of "now". :D You dont need to manually install sdkcerts now, its automatically installed on first boot. :)

Hi Krazy,

This is a wonderful ROM...Amazing to use!!

I have one quick question - My batt dries out fast with this ROM. I am connected to Edge and use my exchange mails but that's not a reason to drian out fast....any quick fix for that?

Thanks again,

Sam
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
No Problemo :D
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Battery WILL dry out fast if you are always connected to EDGE, that is a perfectly valid reason. I have tried it many times when i am finding my way using Google Maps in Delhi :) Others include too many open programs, some of which may be using the CPU, or Always enabling the AudioBooster (reset it after use) etc. On my phone i am getting a perfect 3 days backup with 1.5 hours of calling and fair amount of internet usage. I think the battery backup is better in WM 6.5. Even the latest build of 6.1 doesn't gives me more than 2.2 days with this usage.
[P3400 ROM Development] Duron23:
@ Krazy,

I agree with you battery back is really good with 6.5

Problem with new ROM pla advise

hi

with this new 6.5 rom of urs and helgees new rom my phone is getting restarted while charging so went back to ur 21222 build
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Haree, are you sure your phone is not having some loose component? Have you dropped it recently? This should not happen yaar, nobody else is having this problem. Anyways, I will try to figure this out.
[P3400 ROM Development] haree:
for ur info @krazy

hi

this problem is only happening with a few roms like ur Prov3 ur new6.5 ankits 6.5V2& now with helgees new 6.5 if this is happening with all the roms then yes it should be a problem with my phone as this is only happening with only a few Roms i think it might be that my phone is not integrating with those specific roms this is what i feel and no i have not drop my phone now or in the past this is just a feedback thats all
[P3400 ROM Development] NoteGarner2020:

rom for old gene is not working

hi Sir,

i have successfully flash this rom to my old gene, the status shown it flashed successfully, please any key. after i restart the device, it refuse to boot to the OS and the screen is dark blank, the GSM signal is working, I try to use other phone to call my OLD GENE, its can be get through but the phone shown nothing.

Never face such problem since i flash your rom, hope to hear from you soon. I am now trying to flash it back to V2R3, hopefully it alive again.

edited: ok, i have returned to V2R3....
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@ALL: Any other old gene user facing this problem?

@Ramerson: Buddy while porting the XIP i had this feeling that the addresses of modules were same as of new gene. And now rexypow has reported an unsuccessful flash. Plus, the XIP doesn't have initvmmap.exe and mencflt.dll files and instead has encfilt.dll, which is a bit odd for old gene. Are you sure you have given me the right XIP?
[P3400 ROM Development] salim1001:
Thanks a million for this New ROM Krazy.

Will download and try this tonight - Can you please share a screenshot of the ROM?
[P3400 ROM Development] NoteGarner2020:

Nope I have updated on my old gene starting animation is very good ..

Reapplying backup..

And checking other applications....

Rest working fine.

Speed is good.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@rexypow: Buddy are you sure you didn't had a bad flash? Sometimes if between the flashing process, the usb cable gets shaked or something like that, we have a bad flash. I encountered it once too. I guess you should give it another try.

@ALL: Guys, since two people have successfully flashed the SD Card method based rom from RUU, i am trying to do that. But i dont know the procedure exactly, although orefkov once posted a Big Storage mode utility but it didn't worked properly. I am writing to Helgee to provide me with the method.

I also request to everybody else, if someone know how to create the ROM the way Helgee's roms are created, please PM me.
[P3400 ROM Development] rexypow:
hi sir

i have tried 3 times flash using SD card, everytime the system message shown successful. I never flash using usb..... it is ok, i try to download it again, and flash again....oh...how i expect your rom....my hand is shaking now....haha...once I have successfully flash your 6.5, I will buy you a coffee again. thanks!

Assuming os.nb and extrom.nb are in same folder you can use this:

start /w "" htcrt.exe /buildrom create.htcrtproj RUU_SIgned.nbh

after the process finishes the htcrt will build your RUU_Signed.nbh in the same folder.

About XIP for old gene: I use this xip for every rom I made and I don't have problems. I extracted this xip from an original wm6 rom that I have.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Thanks for the info buddy, i found it somewhere else too :) And the XIP was OK, i was just expressing my concern as one user reported bad flash. But he got it right another time. So its ok, and thanks a lot for the same man.

Anyways, what about this SDCard method? How can i create a ROM that flashed from SDCard. I am trying using a file from Ankit's kitchen named gene-imgfs-lzx-hdr.bin as template, its creating the imgfs.bin in quiet some time and is compressed by about 6-7 MB but even after flashing from SD Card it isn't working :(

@Sumit

About SD Card Method: I don't know very well. I never flashed my gene this way. But I'll do some research and post here.
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
About SD Card flashing:

To everyone:

Is there actually any advantage of flashing through sd card? I mean apart from the obvious for Non Windows users ?The only advantage that I have heard is that it is faster than RUU :confused:?
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@ALL : I am not talking about the SD Card Flashing method itself. I am talking about the way Helgee's roms are cooked so that they provide more memory and RAM. The method itself doesnt has anything to do. SDCard method must be used with ROMs that are cooked with a certain compression algorithm that provides more phone mem and RAM.

@Ramerson : Buddy what i have been able to find out is that there are two compression methods,

1. XPR method, that we use normally.

2. LZX method, that provides more space.

It is specified at the time when imgfs.bin is generated. If we use the file gene-imgfs-xpr.bin then we get xpr comression and if we use gene-imgfs-lzx.bin then we get lzx compression.

I have successfully found the bin file and created a ROM with it. The same ROM is about 6-7 MB less in size with this compression. The only problem is, to use this ROM, the cecompr.dll (CE Compressend FileSystem Driver) in XIP must support the LZX compression. I think Helgee's XIP must be having that but since his roms are protected, i cannot get it myself. I have requeted him to give me the file. Lets see.
[P3400 ROM Development] nipun_cse:
I think there is no advantage SD Card flashing. PC RUU flashing is faster like SD Card flashing, logically I am not get any benefit SD Card flashing. the main hassle is we have to format our SD card....
[P3400 ROM Development] techmate:
@Krazy: I am really happy that the SMS fix uploaded by me worked:D. You are doing a great service to HTC GENE community:). I am away on tour. Will try the build once I am back. I am sure you would have cooked an awesome and complete ROM.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
I think the problem has started since i have used new addresses in the XIP in my mission to get increased RAM. I made my XIP on the basis of Helgee's XIP, and i think old gene is getting problem with this. Hell, HTC why did you do that! Why you created this mess! Look at other phones, there is no such thing. Only one phone, one spl and all works. Some have more than one SPLs but thats due to different reasons. Eh!

I dont know what to do with it at present man, i will try to search for some solution, but i can't guarantee. WM 6.5 requires a lot of RAM. One thing that i would like to try is reporting the XIP. Actually the XIP that ramerson gave me, doesn't looks like the one i saw for old gene. I remember, old gene use to have some extra files like initvmmap.exe etc, but ramerson's xip doesnt have those. The problem has started since that time. Can anybody else give me the original XIP(s) of old gene?
