This is my first time to cook ROM and here's a Bloat Free Official HTC Fuze ROM Update- Version 5.11.502.2 WWE. I have removed almost every bloatware included from this ROM and left all the ware needed for keyboard shortcuts to work and included the Black theme Manila instead of the nasty Gray ATT theme Manila. I was able to free up more than 50mb of space from this ROM. :D And oh ROCK SOLID!

Hey chadster214, nice to see a new cook. I would like to try your un-bloated rom but the link is not allowing anymore downloads. Any way you could re-post?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Cal-El:
I will upload on mediafire for you, gimme a few min! :)

Here you go! http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?kz02gc2zy3k
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] unsoldier50:
You "DA MAN"! Thanks I will give it a try and let you know. Thanks again!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
Thanks Cal-El for reuploading the file.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ninjaap:
Thanks! I will give this a try... downloading now...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] unsoldier50:
Nice rom been using it for about 12 hrs now and cant find any problems with it.

I have previously been using other custom roms by other great chefs, but I always seem to find problems with them so I decided to go back to OEM even tho I hate the bloat. This rom solved that problem for me. THANK YOU!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ninjaap:
Same here. With all the flashing I've done since I got my phone, OEM still works the best (w/o all the bloatware). There is one thing I miss about the 6.5 ROMS though, the start menu. Does anyone know if there's a cab floating around that I can install to get this feature?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] zelendel:
From what I know there is not away to get the 6.5 start menu on a 6.1 rom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ninjaap:
Bummer... :( but I can live w/o it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
I'm happy

I'm happy that you guys like what I made. So far the ROM is solid everything works!! I'm on this ROM for a good 48hrs.

RaphaelCustomRUU.exe reports trojan

Norton is flagging the RUU file as a trojan. This could be a false positive but I have never flagged an RUU before. My NORTON AV is an old copy but the virus definitions are up to date.

Can anyone confirm the ROM is clean? I always flash from the memory card anyway and I would like a bloatfree OEM ROM for my backup.

Personally I have never seen a ROM with a virus but a quick search brought up a couple of ROMs with viruses in the components.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
My ROM has no virus. I have tested it myself and there's a couple in this thread that uses my ROM.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
It's just the ruu; it's been posted a million times before. It's not a virus. Look in the raph custom ruu thread for more info.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Cal-El:
It is a false positive, and it hapens with some RUU's and not with others! I can confirm that there is no virus in this ROM! Enjoy! :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
I have cooked a new version fixing the gray highlight with the enlarge menu. I will be posting the new ROM shortly
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
Have you thought about a TF3D2 ver?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
I did but the ported TF3D2 are soo buggy. my main goal is to have a solid working stable ROM close to an OEM ROM without bloatwares.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] BOBBYDAVIS44:
RUU false positive

I did find the older posts showing the RUU as a false positive but I have also flashed dozens of ROMS without ever seeing it. I have never cooked a rom myself so I don't know where in the process you choose the RUU. I just assumed a newer fixed RUU had been added to the kitchens.

Is there a reason you use that particular RUU over the one used by the other Chefs? I believe your rom is virus free. I am just curious.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
My ROM is based on the Official HTC Fuze Upgrade ROM. since this ROM has been tested by HTC itself I assume that is bug free ROM and everyone knows it works the best. but since bloatware are included to this Official HTC Fuze ROM everybody stayed away from them and I'm one of them. So decided to sit down over the weekend and take my time to remove all the bloatwares included in this ROM. as a result I made a solid, more space and stable ROM that works! Try it and give me your feedback! you will not be disappointed.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
which original theme?? it's either the AT&T Theme or the Black Theme.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chukalov:
ATT theme please. Just stripped the stupid apps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
I can make you a cab of the ATT theme and install it over the Black theme.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chukalov:
That's fine too, as long it doesn't affect anything like performance or create other bugs. Also is that quick launch menu coming up when switching to landscape mode or that's disabled? I downloaded the official HTC rom yesterday and it was in it but I received my replacement Fuze today from ATT and that was turned off.

Thanks for your help
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
chukalov,

we have a problem. I don't have the OEM extracted files from my phone. I must have deleted it or overwritten it since I've released multiple updates of this ROM. I can't extract it anymore since I'm running this version ROM. I'll see what I can do to get the files again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chukalov:
I actually copied the .Cab file out of my \windows folder before I wiped the phone. Then I did a hard reset and then a soft reset when it got the point of installing all the ATT crap. I added the original ATT Manilla manually after that. I saw you mentioned ATI drivers and some Booster in the first few pages. Any way to post a link to those? And are they part of the Rom or separate?

Thanks again
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
ATI Drivers and GFXBoost are not part of the ROM. but you can run a search on these two and you should get them right away.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chukalov:
I found the GFX Boster 1.1 and it does seem to speed things up :). Havent put ATI driver.

Thanks for the tip ;)

Will Custom Rom update or official rom will lock a phone?.

Hello, I have an AT&T HTC FUZE unlocked, and use T-mobile as my carrier. If installed your ROM or the Official ROM, would my phone get Locked to AT$T service only?

Thank you for your time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
to tell you the truth.. I haven't tested that. i'll test it later today since my AT&T Fuze is also unlocked but i'm still using AT&T network.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chunchu:
Will Custom Rom update or official rom will lock a phone?.

Great, thanks for the fast response. Hope it does not lock the phone. Heard so many great stuff from this ROM.

Take care.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
Alright I can confirm that it works with other network. I just inserted my GlobeTelecom Simcard and it works!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chunchu:
AWESOME

I will update today. Thanks a lot.

Take care.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
No Problem.. just report to me some feedback once you update your ROM

Question

Hey Chadster, I have read through all 20 pages of this thread, and from what I am seeing, looks like you've done a kick ass job on this ROM. I would like to give it a try myself, but I have encountered a minor issue. Whenever I attempt to flash the ROM to my Fuze, the status bar comes up on both the PC screen and on the device, but it stays at 0% for like five or so minutes and then brings up the Error Recovery Wizard. The device is still frozen on the 0% screen, so I have to remove the battery for about 3 seconds (as instructed by the wizard) and then re-insert it and reboot the device, after which it returns to normal operating status and the wizard instructs me to retry updating. I am sure that the conection between the device and activesync is established properly, so I honestly have no idea what the problem could be. Any help with this issue would be much appreciated. My Fuze is currently running the most recent official ROM update.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] avramce:
@RIDDICKulousOne

Hey there, welcome to the forums. I recently had the same problem as you, and from what I remember, did you flash HardSPL on your device yet?

The way I understand it is the default firmware has a lock that you can't flash custom firmware until your get rid of it (by flashing hardSPL). After that, you should be able to flash any custom rom after that.

Hope that helps!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] RIDDICKulousOne:
Sounds like that might be it. Now how exactly do I go about flashing HardSPL?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
you need to flash the HardSPL first before you flash this ROM.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dhatch93:
It's on page 16 of this thread...:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
What do you guys think of the ROM so far??? I cooked a new version lastnight but nothing really new to it besides I managed to put the Youtube app as part of the favorites in the Internet tab like the unlocked version of HTC Touch Pro. let me know if you guys want this ROM so I can upload it.

I've tried installing the TF3D 2.1 over the TF3D on this ROM and it seems to work fine.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] RIDDICKulousOne:
This ROM kicks a$$!

Flashed the HardSPL and put the ROM on my phone. No problems thus far and I'm lovin' it. I'll tell ya, I don't miss that sh*tty grey AT&T piece of garbage theme for a second. To be honest, I probibly wont be flashing a new ROM any time soon, or at least not until the changes made are significant (TouchFLO2 working flawlessly would definitely be worth it). One issue I am having with my Fuze, which I thought was a ROM thing and would be fixed with the install of this ROM, but I guess not, is... is it just me, or is there one hell of a delay between when an incoming call is actually placed and when the Fuze finally actually starts ringing. I called my Fuze from my house phone and got at least 2/3, if not more, of the way through my ringback tone before my Fuze actually started to ring. It didn't seem like it was THAT bad with previous ROMS. Anyone know any settings I could tweek to correct this? Any help would be appreciated.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
I think the problem is with the AT&T network. I have tried multiple ROM and Radios myself and all of them are delayed. It really didn't bother me since I am recieving all my calls. Just dont think of your calls coming in delayed and you should be fine. :D:D:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
It should. I do all of my 6.1 testing on the stock AT&T ROM. The R1.1 version works well with it, along with the Warhawk Dialer.

There's a setting in Diamond Tweak for "Ring Time". Apparently the ROM default is "With Delay" (I have no idea why). The key it changes is this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring]
"InitVol"=dword:5(decimal) ;4="With Delay", 5="Without Delay"

Someone can check and see if that helps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] RIDDICKulousOne:
I am actually a professional web designer and I do know quite a bit about the michanics of computers, but I must confess, when it comes to Mobile Devices and all the tweeking and what not, I am a bit of a noob... :) So what exactally would be the steps I would take to attempt to make this change?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
look for Total Commander to make changes in your registry.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
do you have a cab for TF3D 2.1 R1.1??
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] RIDDICKulousOne:
What next

I have Total Commander now, where exactly in the regestry do I go to make the changes?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
Ok. i'll make it easier for you.. here's a cab. just install and soft reset.

I have succesfully updated my phone with this rom, and I am extremly inpressed and happy. Been playing with phone for hours and is fast and responsive. I love it. Thanks for the hard work.

One thingh that I am working on right now is to get my wireless settings back and REMOTE ACCESS to my home computer and it's now working.

It used to work before.

Do you know if any program that was left out on this ROM was needed for RDP.

Or if there is a program to restore my Remote Destop Application.

Thank you.

Everything is still intact and only bloat ware were removed from the Official ROM.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chunchu:
Remote desktop is not working.

Is there a cab with Remote desktop application that I can restore. Maybe a file is damage. Dont know what could have happen.

It worked before, all my ports are foward, my firewall was disable and still no connection.

Very strangre. Will keep checking, if I find an answer I will post it.

Thanks again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ryotgz:
Thanks Cpt! If you want a rapidshare link, I can upload for you if you want.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
did you do a hard reset right after flashing ? I was able to connect to my netbook using the Remote Desktop Application.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
I just flashed this ROM and it is set to 5 by default.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
here's what I've noticed with this setting. after flashing the ROM loads this setting with a "delay". and then when you turn up the system and the ringer volume it automatically sswitches to "no delay". you can double check it using Diamond Tweak.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tahdor:
I have been trying various ROMs in my newly aquired FUZE. I applied this ROM, but when it start to do customization I did a soft reset so as to avoid installation of apps like opera etc.

But when the phone cumes up, I am not able to change any thing on phone in any dir e.g. in \windows\Start Menu. Also not able to delet/overwrite any fine in Windows.

Is this because I did soft reset at customixation step ? Or is it doe to fact that it is official ROM ?

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
all files in the windows directory before customization are part of the ROM. you can't delete those files. try running everything and see how you like this ROM. so far this ROM is solid.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tahdor:
I liked the ROM, and is very stable and solid. I usualy like to do some customization like move things around in /windows/start menu also overwrite some files in windows dir e.g. welcomehead.192.png. When I try to that I get error saying that files are ROM files. Any way to solve this, I am sure there will be a way as other ROMs allow this e.g. moving aroung the Windows/Start Menu folder contents.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
try using Total Commander to overwrite files. you should be able to move things around in Windows/Start Menu. did you do a hard reset right after flashing??
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tahdor:
Yes I did hard reset (now that you have created a doubt in my mind, I will try again). I will try TC as well. I have installed another ROM at present. I will come back to this ROM, and post results here. I am still looking for a suiable ROM. I almost chose this one, but this non overwrite thing made me to keep looking.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
do a hard reset at the calibration screen. that is weird that you are not able to overwrite files. i just did a hard reset after you mentioning this issue yesterday to replicate the error and i was able to move things around. and was able to overwrite some manila file(switched White Flip Clock to Black Flip Clock). what exact files are you trying to overwrite?? so I can try to replicate the error. I did not make any changes on the ROM itself besides removing the bloatware. I was careful enough not to break stuf
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] kpriess:
Incomming- Not outgoing SMS..

Does the FUZE sends SMS thru GPRS by default..?

With this rom I can't access the advanced config and check.. Im outside the US and can only send SMS thru GSM..
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
Most of the time I just hook my phone up via active sync, on my PC Go to "folder options"/"View" and check "show hidden files", uncheck "hide ext.... " and uncheck "hide protected...."

Then go into your phone and open the windows/ directory

It's easy to change things around.

To change the welcomehead.192.png .... name it welcomehead1.192.png...drop it from your desktop into the windows/ on your phone, then go into advanced config, open up "Splash Screen and or "HTC Animation" and select the new welcomehead1.192.png that you just put into your windows/
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
For AT&T it sends SMS thru GPRS.

For advanced config to work, you need to install netcf 3.5 here is a cab file for you

Appreciate the reply/link..

After 15 different ROMS in 2 days.. I think I'll stick with this one..
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
15 ROMS :eek::eek::eek: WOW! I choose functionality and stability myself. I know majority or almost every Chef here are running WM6.5. I rather stick with something that works the best with our phones.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tahdor:
I tried deleting the all files and folder below /windows/Start Menu/Programs. Ank like you mentioned, I will Install this ROM again, and will do hard reset. I always do hard-reset after RAM flash, but I am 90% sure that time :-). I will try this ROM again after 2-3 days. I really like this ROM.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
This is the only 6.1 ROM left that is bug free.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tahdor:
This is what I did a minute ago. I flashed ROM then when asked to tap screen, I did hard reset (vol dn+enter+reset). After hard reset, calibrated the screen and when it said that it will be customizing the phone, I did soft-reset before customize can start (I do not want Manila and other customization). Then when it finaly booted again, i tried to overwrite /windows/welcomehead.192.png via active sync, it won't let me do that. Also I tried removing /windows/start menu/programs/games folder. It won't let me do that.

I did hard reset again but did let the customization happen again. Still the activesync wont let me overwrite /windows/welcomehead.192.png and also wont let me change /windows/start menu.

Edit: Total Commander is ablet to overwrite and move the files (not delete). I can live with that, but Active Sync would have been good.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ninjaap:
You need TC or similar to overwrite protected files
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
I think what you are looking for is a Lite ROM. NATF makes a really good Lite ROM. which only install a bare WM 6.1
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] SDreamer:
Going to give this rom a try since it seems to be the most bug free (downloading right now), and bloat free. Was wondering though if you ever thought about making a version of the rom with some added features that don't necessarily hurt the stockness of this much, like using mun's allbackgrounds patch, making it able to remap all the ATT shortcut keys like Da_G did in his 6.1 CleanFuze rom, updating things in it like Opera, and just things like that. Or even taking the endevour of making a rom like Timolo's Stock likfe 6.5, but a 6.1 version of it with the latest Windows Mobile. I'm eagerly awaiting trying this rom (curse you dsl)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
if I do all of those you suggested then it wont' be an Official Bloat Free OEM Fuze ROM. this ROM is compatible with Muns Background4allpages.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] leebo:
Yours will be my first time trying a "custom" ROM. I lost my Fuze earlier this year and just replaced it with a used one bought on EBay.

I'm only up to page 14 in this thread, so these two questions may have been answered on later pages, but I'm anxious to get back to using a Fuze so I thought I would ask and keep reading.

Must we use HardSPL first, before flashing your ROM? I've never used it b4. (Edit: answered in post #156, inc. a link to download).

Also, in your quote above, are you saying that if we place whatever extra cabs we intend to use on the storage chip, we can make a notepad file that will execute all the cabs, thus saving the tedious process of installing them manually? And where or what search terms should I use to find directions for that?

I'm so excited to get back to a Fuze and toss my old 8525 with it's white screen problems!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
Yes you will need to use HardSPL first before flashing to this ROM. I suggest flash the OfficialOEM Fuze ROM first for you to get the radio upgrade then flash into this ROM.

I did not make this UC compatible since no one is really interested. so you will have to install cabs manually. or you can use sashimi to install those cabs for you.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] leebo:
Wow! Quick reply.

I will flash the official updated ROM first as I do want to try the new radio. I remember reading several posts claiming it was improved. This was just b4 I lost my original Fuze.

I live on the ground floor in the back of my apartment building and my signal is pretty weak. Anything I can try to improve it I will try.

OK, back to reading!:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
Goodluck! give me your some feedback once you flash to this ROM

Was wondering if anyone else is having problems with the latest Skype version on this ROM? I can't get it to log in, but when I try other ROMS it works okay.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] twelveone:
I had the same problem with Skype. I kept getting the error, "your username and password are not recognized."

I updated to the latest release and it has been working ever since. Skype was the first program I installed after the hard reset. I am not sure if that made the difference or not.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ninjaap:
That's the exact error I've been seeing. A hard reset huh? I'm going to have to think about that. Thanks your reply :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chadster214:
"your username and password are not recognized." i dont think this error is coming from the ROM
