[P3400 ROM Development] dheerajk27:
11 September 2009: Thanks to @krazy_about_technology for his kitchen for build 21854. I have just made a lite ROM out of it. Sharing the same, after seeing some interest.

Please note that, this ROM is for those who always wanted a lite version of Windows Mobile OS, where he can experiment and add a lot of different applications and interfaces such as SPB Mobile Shell etc. as well as easily upgrade to new versions of applications. So, many of the fats in regular WM roms are removed, and thus achieved a ROM free space of 66 MB. The rom is really fast, thanks to the tweaking by @krazy_about_technology.

IMPORTANT: I have not tested the ROM for OLD Gene, since I don't have the device. Hence, if anybody faces any issues, please let me know.

RAM: 25 MB free (On Startup) [Camera loader cab provided by @Helgee can be used to increase 4 MB plus more RAM]

Internal Storage: 65.5 MB free

Page Pool: 6 MB

Build 21854.5.0.80

Note: The following screenshot is taken after installing the camera loader. At the time of taking the screenshot one or two applications were running in the backgroud.

NOTE: No screenshots are included, since the interfaces is like any other WM6.5 ROM. ROM Content is similar to my previous 21815 build version (see below). Again, neither Titanium nor Office are included. Office can be easily installed on storage card and works smoothly on this ROM. But I have retained some MEGA packages from Sumit's kitchen. A few items such as XDA Shutdown, Opal_StreamingSrcFilter etc. are included as well. Other changes are a different Audio Booster version and inclusion EZ Input 2 keyboard (No T9). This version of Audio Booster is included just because it gels very will with HRS WOW HD (thanks to @rahmanee for the idea) and doesn't need the headset to be connected in order to work. Two when gets combined, the result is unbelievable. Though I have not included HRS WOW HD with the ROM, thinking that if a new version gets introduced, people can easily upgrade. Those who wanted to use HRS WOW HD, search for version 1.2.10.0, which really works well and stable. You will get the cab file somewhere in XDA forum itself.

Earlier Versions:-

21815 version updates:

Update - 22 August 2009: Somehow, my love for 21815 build remains even after using some latest builds such as 23017. May be, the XIP for this build which was tweaked by Sumit to the optimum for Gene, always gives me the best results. Since seeing some interest about the same from someone yesterday, I thought of uploading the latest tweaked version here.

Please note that this version has neither Titanium nor Office. It is one of the litest and stable version for Gene, though some important packages such as Transcriber, Opal DShow etc are included. The idea of omiting titanium was to give the user the flexibility to use any interface he likes, such as SPB Mobile Shell 3 (my favorite), Wisbar Advance Desktop, Point UI etc. I have increased the page pool to 6 MB for this build to get better response results.

The detials of configuration is as follows:

RAM: 25.22 MB free (On Startup) [Camera loader cab provided by @Helgee can be used to increase 4 MB plus more RAM]

Internal Storage: 65.78 MB free

Page Pool: 6 MB

Build 21815.5.0.50

Update - 08 July 2009: The ROM is tweaked a bit and added some basic good apps such as Task Manager Advanced. Office Mobile is also added, since it was found that Office runs much faster when installed on storage. So, the internal storage size is reduced to 52 MB around. Have been using the same for 2 weeks, and found very stable.

Update - 23 June 2009: The previously uploaded ROM was having .NET Compact Framework 2.0, inside. I have upgraded the same to .NET Compact Framework 3.5 with this release.

First of all I am not sure, whether I am right to create a new thread for this. Sorry about the same, if otherwise. I just cooked, perhaps my first ROM (hd cooked ROMs earlier, but never got the courage to post it here), which I thought of sharing with those newbs who prefer a lite-weight one (54.18 MB Internal Storage free), for their use. I have used the XIP provided by our Great Sumit (aka @krazy_about_technology) and SYS provied by another Great, Ankit. Thanks a ton for those guys who have given so much of contribution to this forum.

I am not providing any screenshots, as it is a standard WM 6.5 ROM. Details of the configuration is as follows:

RAM: 25.5 MB free (On Startup) [Camera loader cab provided by @Helgee can be used to increase 4 MB plus more RAM]

Internal Storage: 54.18 MB free

Page Pool: 4 MB

Build 21815.5.0.50

To be frank, I am a newb in cooking ROMs, and hence please use the ROM at your own risk. For me it is working okay so far. This is STRICTLY for new Gene. Sorry, old Gene users.

Also, packages such as Cyberon Voice Commander are not there. And, sorry guys, have also removed Office to get more storage free space, so that those who want Office can install separately on Storage Card.
