model number is not the device name. look at start > settings > system > about > device id > device name. some programs like themissingsync or using bluetooth or whatever rely on device name but i dont think model number matters for anything.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] muppel:
no no no, not what I want

No, sorry. But this is not what i want. I have to change the realy Devicename. I think it comes with the Rom.

You can find the Name 2 Lines over the IMEI (same field).

Maybe it is written in the "ModelName.txt" in the Windowsfolder. But I can´t change the Name (it is in the Rom and not possible to change).

Hi fi all di readas.

Notice the quotation marks on the title please...

So... my favourite would be OpenVPN (because it is the fastest and seems also the most secure) and it is well configured on my laptop. But I am unable to configure it on my pda. Copied the files from laptop to pda but no luck and I really do not know the bugs and weaknesses of the CE version. So I just gave up.

I also tried bluefire but I did not understand the server side (hardware router-based server?). Also gave up

And of course the first ever I tried was the CE built-in one. No luck.

So... (again:)) what are you using?

I am not a programmer, just a poweruser btw.
[General Questions and Answers] gsvnet:
I believe there is native support for a PPTP VPN, right?

Yes there is but I cannot get it to run.

Last reservation #4 ...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Please consider that the first version is kind of a beta, as it is my first Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM. I've tested most of it, but can't ensure that there aren't any bugs, mainly as WM 6.5 isn't official yet anyway.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] drhassan:
all those removed

having removed all that list of apps, it's good that you left nk.exe and some DLLs in the rom!!!!!?????

please post some pix of ur rom like good cooks do
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
I don't force anyone to use it, so if you don't like the idea or concept, its OK. Personally I hate all this crap applications Microsoft & HTC are including, but thats my personal taste. Looking at the benchmark results of my barebone ROM this improves the performance very much, compared to all the other ROMs flying around in the forums here.

This Geranium ROM isn't that good in terms of performance, but I guess its Windows Mobile 6.5, as it is still a beta at all.

Personally I don't think this is useful at all, as it looks just "normal" and I'm not keen on updating the screenshots every time I release a new version :(. Furthermore any advanced user knows the applications anyway :).

However I've attached some screenshots, don't know if this fulfils your desires.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] placella:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] citrix80:
why remove all useful apps? :cool: then this become a empty shell. :eek:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kholargol:
Because usefull apps are not the same for everybody !! You've got the OS then you install only what you really need !

The real question is : Why other cookers add useless and non-uninstallable apps to their roms ? :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cidriver:
Thanks a lot johnpatcher for your contributions and hard efforts.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] henrik.dk:
I agree with you on one side. On another side, it will be better to provide stand alone package to install. Some of the stock package is quite useful and

hardly you can get it installed for a bare os.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hileotech:
Maybe I'm asking too much, but... let's give it a try.

I'm coming from (fantastic) sw-pre-filled ROMs like Dutty, Laurentinus, Miri and so on, and I begin to love the barebone philosophy. For instance maybe many users don't use Word Card Mobile, but it's a "must" for me and for my work. And I wouldn't like to see 30 Mb of precious memory eaten by some game, whether some other user would simply love that.

Ok: I'm telling nothing new to all of you, folks.

So: here is my request. Being totally noob to barebone world, I find it difficult to search and find every cab I need.

Would it be possible to have some kind of repository of the cabs you removed?

Thanks so much
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Just tell me what you need. You'll find most stuff in the forums, if not I'll try to make a cab for you. This policy works just fine for my Barebone ROM!

Same as above. Just tell me what you need, any cab that I made is listed in the third post. So far I haven't made any, as there were no request ;).

Btw: Its not only a question of space, but any unneeded file slows down the whole device, as it takes more cpu to manage (and cache) these files, so for me its just logical to delete most of these crap applications included by HTC (or Microsoft). As said this is a question of personal taste and its kind of a philosophy ... Anybody long enough in the Windows Mobile business has his favorite applications for his needs anyway, so the included stuff is just for everyone, but not for me ;).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] henrik.dk:
I do like this idea. But due to missing htc album, I finally falled to onkolog lite version just because that version includes album.

I have to spend quite some time to disable the cool stuff like touchflo/booting noise and start menu etc. this is indeeded a good indication how much I like barebone ROM.

There is also no doubt that you are supportive&responsive COOKER. But I do feel it is a pain to find stock package.

I would really like to try your 2.5 barebone rom if an official john album package is available.

Anyway, thank you for the great efforts.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hileotech:
Thank you, johnpatcher.

Here we go:

*Adobe reader

*CommManager (if there isn't any other way to switch to Airplane Mode with few taps)

*JetCet Print

*Opera

*WorldCard Mobile

*USBtoPCpopup

*Zip

Anything else looks crap to me

Sorry if this is/seems too much...

john, have you found any benefit from sqlcemobile 3.5?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] baituo:
From the benchmark post, I see that all WM6.5 rom are low in overall performance. Why is it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Ok, I will try to make cabs for these.

Not at all, but there are applications which won't run with the "old" version.

I don't know. Certainly it isn't that optimized than WM 6.1, as it is still a beta.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Ok, I've made the cab files and uploaded them, you'll find them at post 3 :).

Please report back if they work properly.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] egoist6:
servus johnpatcher,

will definitely try it because i have always preferred naked roms and want to add apps cab by cab.

do you have any recommendations as to which of the more advanced dialer to use (rhodium or topaz)?

do you have a cab that is working for your rom?

thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] egoist6:
my antivirus scanner was reporting a trojan horse when decompressing customruu.exe.

Good ROM !

A CAB for Album would be appreciated

Cheers

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
I'm happy about the Blackstone one. Haven't played a lot with the other though.

Nope, but you'll certainly find cabs for these in the forums.

CustromRUU is known as a false positive ...

I'm working on this.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Ok, I've just added the cab for the Album application. Please report back whether it works like expected, as I don't know much about it ;).

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheNose:
Lol I've asked if you were planning om playing around with winmo 6.5 and you told me you weren't and yet 1 week later here it is! Great I'll be toying around with this when I have more time.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Good to hear that ;).

After flashing a WM 6.5 ROM I realized that it isn't that bad at all, so I decided to get my own hands on it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] panosha:
Thank you. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheNose:
Miri seem to have found winmo 6.5 compatible HTC apps! Since some of them seem usefull maybe you can update your cabs in the openingpost since you can simply download them from miri's cab repository (he doesn't protect them or anything).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
As far as I know all of the HTC applications are compatible with Windows Mobile 6.5.

What excactly are you missing?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheNose:
I'm not missing anything atm, the apps I pointed out in Miri's thread seem to be "made" for winmo 6.5 rather then being compatible. ;)

Time to bump this thread anyway, more power to the barebones!

Are you gonna update the rom when new winmo 6.5 builds come out btw?

I'm gonna flash your 6.5 barebone now and have clicked through the kitchen hardly understanding any of it. Lol. I saw a good starting point in a topic made by kwbr (sort of cooking roms for dummys), so I'll just start there, any questions I'll pm you. ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheNose:
Ok I've been using the rom for a day now, installed all the cabs I use on a daily basis and I must say...your ROM is FAST! Great work!

Expect a donation soon...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Unfortunately I noticed that WM 6.5 isn't as fast as 6.1 yet :(.

Great ;).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheNose:
Ok I've found some bugs after using the device for some days now. :cool:

1) When trying to scrol in the contact list above the dialerkeypad, the tekst gets all messed up (like the tekst is displayed 10 times slightly shifted, unreadable). When I enter contacts manually I don't have this problem.

2) When I set my alarm sound it plays a different tune than I've selected when the alarm actually goes off.

3) I've noticed the scrollbars in this ROM are the old winmo6.1 ones and not the skinnable 6.5 ones. :confused:

4) Installing the opera cab results in opera trying to load and then just exits itself. :confused:

That's all for now. :)

Donation made: 0M798943A4164504H
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Thanks ;).

Ok, I will try to fix them with the next release. As far as I know there is a new build, maybe they are fixed there.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheNose:
maybe the topaz/rhodium dialer is better compatible with winmo 6.5? I used some cabs from miri's cab repository and they tell me after they got installed that they are for a different winmo version?

Do you use the whole native winmo 6.5 sys?

Keep up the good work!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nemmatlanh:
I can't install bejive im?somebody help me?thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Come on, thats neither a description nor anything else. If you have problems, then you should tell us excactly what is not working.

What error messages do you get? As "bejive im" seems to be a beta, you should also consider that there is something wrong with the application itself. Does it work with any other WM 6.5 ROM, as there are just versions for WM 6.0 & WM 6.1.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheNose:
I'm gonna leave the WinMo 6.5 ROMs for a while, because the speed is so low compared to the 6.1 ROMs. I'll be watching the developement of this ROM though and gonna be playing around with it in the kitchen. ;)

Keep it up my German neighbour!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nemmatlanh:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheNose:
Aaaargghh, can't get used to manilla and I really like titanium. So back to 6.5 it is. Flashing Miri's ROM atm for the newer sys...I hope for less bugs...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] core7x:
that is a light / minimal ROM ..

read 1st post in this thread :p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheNose:
:rolleyes:

But this barebone ROM doesn't use the latest build of winmo 6.5 and I have some annoying bugs with this barebone release. That's why I'm flashing Miri's.

I love this barebone ROM I even donated to it. ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
I'm sorry that you encountered so many bugs. I will try to update the SYS in the next couple of days, having not that much spare time right now :(.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheNose:
I'm out of spare time atm also, my 8 month old son is sucking up a lot of time atm. :)

Barebone ROMs are very usefull and this was only your first release anyway. ;)

Sys updates are very fast atm and for the HTC stuff you should just try to use the rodium topaz packages I think.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheNose:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] LeoSK:
Guys, I need a help:

I need my screen to turn off completely (to save battery), but when I do so in Settings->Power->Advanced ("Turn off device if not used for ...), then I am unable to see/hear incoming calls as the device looks to be really turned off.

However, I am pretty sure that during the last year I was having the same options and there were no problems with incoming calls at all.

Probably I checked/unchecked something in Settings, but I am unable to find out what exactly.

I would really appreciate if you could help me.

Add a schortct to this script into TouchFlo Programs and into SPB Mobile Shell shortcut for fast switch between two shell.

Create a shortcut with icon

A simple way to create a shortcut (with icon) to my script is:

1) create a new text file on the desktop of your PC with Notepad

2) copy the next row and paste it into the text file:

\Windows\Shell Switch.mscr?shellres.dll,-13902

(if you put the script in \Windows folder, else modify the path according your script path)
​

3) save the text file in .txt format (eg. Shell Switch.txt)

4) copy it into \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder of your device

5) rename the .txt file as Shell Script.lnk

6) select it in the Menu applet of Windows Mobile Settings
