yeah, i did installed Op9.7 but certain apps like RSS for example still uses ie. :( i was thinkin of something like seting al the ie.exe files as under cover opera shortcuts. (^_^) do you rekon it would work?

now after a bit of usage i'm impresed with wot you manage to do here bro. everything runs smoother faster and basicaly a lot better than the previous builds. GREAT JOB INDEED! the only thing i had to do is replace G-Maps with the newest version 3.2.1 but gester gives me a bit of a head ake. when its on i cant scroll through the list of wm like contacts, files, etc. but if i turn it off everything goes well besides opera (cant zoom in or out with double tap anymore, i have to zoom from the menu on every single page, which is strange cause i could of done it on the previous build with gester disabled) but overall i'm amazed!!!!! a pint on me when i get back home from work d__(^_^)__b
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chungtau:
Thanks Blade0rz, is perfect! Installed!:D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Anyone else got problems with Opera 9.7b? It installs OK but won't run, get the splash "screen" forever :-/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
IE is very tightly integrated into the OS. You could probably change a few defaults through the registry, but not all of them I don't think.

Yeah, the double-tapping is really annoying. I'm trying to find a way around that.

Don't thank me, thank Microsoft :) I just package the stuff :p
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blackemnc:
whats new with the latest release? any major thing.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
iGO 8 won't run either :confused:

I recommend adding Rishi's TaskBar cab as a battery icon replacement :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Some people have had issues with iGo, some can run it fine. Few problems listed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544445

Maybe you could flash 23041 again. They're the same build anyway feature-wise :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Thanks for the responce Blade0rz.

In Rishi's last build he has the option for the hard reset to auto install cabs from a folder on the microSD card. Would it be difficult for this to be a standard "feature" of your builds?

Oh, while I think about it, do you fancy trying to do a build with VGA Manila incorporated? ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yolinkin:
same over here ... it doesn`t run on build 23409.

BTW thx for the suggestion of Rishi2504`s task bar & Volume control they look quite wicked ;)

Wot works:

thx for the new build Blade! Camera problem fixed over here ;)

I`ve just installed FingerKeybeard v2.1 & it neutralizes the typing lag. (was using SPB Keyboard v4.1 till now)

I Reckon:

the rom would be brilliant with build-in rishi2504`s TaskBar&VolumeControl [click here], with Tachi`s dialer [click here] (it looks amazing), with FingerKeyboard 2.1 [click here] (Sleuth255 made a program SIPChange v1.1 who makes the FingerKeyb as default even after hard&soft reset AB[click here]) and last Versoin of GoogleMaps v3.2.1
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
I have been thinking about doing this for a while. Next release I think I will have a "Full" and a "Lite" release :)

I will include:

- Fingerkeyboard 2.1 (giannis version, without arrows)

- SIPChange

- UserCustomisation maybe...

- Updated GoogleMaps

There is only one M2D which works and that's starkwong's (an old, old version). I could rip that down & include it in the ROM, but I won't be doing that for every release.

Tachi Phone Canvas looks amazing, and installs fine on the P565 but I won't be including it. Slow. As. F**k. It actually took 5 seconds to answer a phone call one time when I had it installed.

Also, FK2.1 doesn't solve the double-tapping for me :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yolinkin:
Good news ... lookin` forward to that Version ;) :p

With the dialer there is a bit of a bug. well it`s not a bug it`s just made for the build with the bottom bar thinner. so basically i get a scroll bar on the side because of some unused space on the design (which i believe it would go behind the bottom bar in the previous build)

anyway if you don`t include it can you guide me in editing it? plz? :P
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Microsoft would call that a "feature" ;)

Personally I don't like the "finger friendly" version of WM6.5. The bar & buttons at the bottom are just too big. I can only hope there is an option (official or not) to have the old school bottom bar.

Looking forward to a pimped version Blade0rz :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Blad0rz.....I don't supose you fancy writing an idiot's guide to ROM cooking.

The information seems rather scattered and if it would take too much time there are some of us (well, at least me) would really apreciate knowing your mystic art.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chungtau:
I Love your ROM but can't work with Chinese (CHT) input, any idea!

Thanks!:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
I have been planning on doing this for quite some time, I just don't have the time right now! I'll compile a list of instructions over the next few weeks so that we can get more ROMs from people. I'm confident the only reason there is not many of them is because there is so little information.

I will post a kitchen with a base WM6.5 ROM to work from and let people take it from there :)

Sorry, I'm not Chinese, so I wouldn't even know what I was looking for in adding a CHT input. Try one of the Chinese sites:

hi,

newbie here.

after flashing this rom, i found out that garmin mobile xt (5.00.20w) can't work.

previously using wm6.1 w/o any problem for gramin mobile xt.

anyone facing same problem?

Many thanks for your answer.

Cheers.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
There are a few applications that don't work with ROM version 23409 i.e. Opera 9.7b, iGO v8

Use the previous version (23041) on the first post :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
New build is on first page.

GPS very rarely works for me without some tweaking. I usually have to change the hardware/software COM port & update the settings within my GPS software.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Nice job m8e....is this a bit pimped?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yolinkin:
good to hear man! i`ve been playing with loads of dialers l8ly & i have to agree with you ... they`re all crap ... (user frendly wise!) even tho they look amazing.

T-Man i quite enjoy this theme to be honest ... the one with the small bar it`s to flat and simple for me :)

BTW Blade0rz .. i`m joining T-Man at ROM cookin lessons ;) lookin` 4ward for it! I`ll get back with you guys 2moro after a play a bit at work with the new ROM ...

Thanks a lot, again!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
The WM6.5 interface continues to improve and 23047 contains quite a few GUI tweaks, some of which look "unusual" on VGA.

Unfortunately build 23047 is another build that confuses some apps into not starting. (Opera 9.7, iGO v8)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Do these apps have a log file or anything? I will install Opera this evening & see if I can find out what's going on there...

I'm uploading the P565 Kitchen to Mediafire now, so expect to have the full Kitchen & Cooking tutorial by tonight. It is based off the old-style PkgToolsBuildos kitchen & contains the base files needed to compile a WM6.5 23047 ROM.

Can't wait to see a great variety of ROMs for the P565 :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tomme45i:
Great! Thank you Blade0rz! :) I have a week of holiday now so I could finally cook something for my zest.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chungtau:
Can't wait!:D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Kitchen & tutorial is on first page. Have fun :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Sweet work Blade0rz....thank you :)

I can't find any log for Opera or iGO. There are instructions for setting Opera up for debugging but you have to run it and alter its options. Nothing to help debug why Opera won't start lol
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yolinkin:
i was gutted just after i installed the 23047. i didn`t lasted more than 5 mins ... :( i can`t operate without Opera. SkyFire looks to much like a kids toy and explorer is just crap. but i just saw fennec (by mozila). Unluckly it works only on WM 6.0 & 6.1 but looks amazing ... honestly ... (besides the fact that it is huge! 26MB)

4 today is just work ... but 2morrow i`ll start playing a bit with the kitchen! ;)

Tuturial File and Lite Rom

The tutorial file says(You can also use my pre-provided "Lite" OEM, which has most unnecessary stuff removed). Cant find that.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
iris browser is quite nice, uses the webkit engine so is very compatible.

Dorthy should be quite good too, once they do some development.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Didn't I include the OEM folder in the kitchen? Ooops :confused: For now you can use the OEM from your original 6.1 ROM as discussed in the tutorial anyway :)

I have installed Opera and can't manage to get it working. I'll cook it into the next ROM and see if that works.

edit: Just checked the kitchen. Maybe I should give a brief description of what each of the folders are :)

XIPKitchen_Beta2 - Software for porting XIPs

ToolsR - Misc Tools (Mostly unused)

TOOLS - Tools used by Ervius kitchen

SYS - SYS for WM6.5 23047

ROM - Ported XIP for WM6.5 23047 dumped to "XIP" folder

OEM - My Lite OEM folder for the P565 ;)

AddrTools - Required tool for patching XIPs to correct size

P.S. I have been messing around with trying to get various versions of Manila to work with the P565. Unfortunately the P565 doesn't have hardware-accelerated graphics support, so we can't have TF3D :( It can run, but believe me, it isn't worth it :P Missing textures & about 0.5fps framerate...

The best we can hope for is Manila2D. I will cook a ROM with M2D if there is enough interest, but personally I don't feel it's much better than titanium anyway
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yolinkin:
thanks T-Man! will try em. how's *47 lookin? as i mentioned i didn't keapt it for more than 5 mins cause Opera wasn't workin. but if i like iris & iGO8 works on *47 i'll put it back on. but right now i'm lookin for 1 hour for a good video player & from wot i've seen tcpmp looks like it but don't know which one to get.i've just got my 16 SDHC &got RIPed a few bluerays thinkin that im gonna enjoy em at work but when i got here i realized that wmp doesnt has the capability to run em. :( could you reckon something to me quickly?

much appreciated!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
iGO 8 does not work on 47 :-/

No idea regarding media players....no bother with them so far.

Downloaded GenY - Manila v2.1 VGA R1.5, seems to be a bunch of unpacked CAB files....how confusing :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
These are packages for cooking into a ROM (New-style kitchen). As mentioned though, it doesn't work at all.

If you feel like giving it a try (bearing in mind all you will see is a white screen and some vaguely recognisable text with nothing to click on but white ;)), download CaptainThrowback's packaged CAB installer for R1.1:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4226585&postcount=5

Don't soft-reset after install, instead copy this libgles_CM.dll into your \Windows directory:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ogl-es/files/ogl-es/1.00/ogles-bin-1.0.0.zip/download

(The .dll you need is in the \bin\arm\Release\ folder)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
OIC....all too complicated :-/

Does it not work because we don't have opengl?

Thanks for the info :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Yeah, that's right. We need OpenGL for the nice 3D effects. Unfortunately, since the P565 doesn't contain any hardware for decoding OpenGL, we must rely on a piece of software to do this for us. Software-based OpenGL ES is slow at the best of times, never mind that there is only one implementation of it for WinMo, it's in Version 1.0, and it's about 3 years old :p
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Blade0rz.....how is the "feature-full" version coming along?

oh...and the M2D version :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hoksangar:
hello, is it possible to rollback to Original firmware after i flash my ASUS with this ROM??

Thank you..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Depends which ASUS you're refering to.

For a Zest you can extract an original O2 ROM from the update they released.

For a P565 you can download a ROM from the ASUS site.

For either you could chose another ROM from within the xda developer forums.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Will detail when I get back tomorrow, but I have uploaded the M2D version (Build 23052):

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:

Thank you :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] milosh_bgd:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] milosh_bgd:
..missing input settings. :S
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Nice work Blade0rz.....TF2D work nice. LOVE the amarulzGreenBlack theme!

Owner setup and keyboard editing is missing. Quick reg hack and SIPchange did the job tho :)

Would be good to redo this using 23041 and include FingerKeyboard, Opera9.7b?, the taskbar cab from rishi's ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ABM30:
Try this:

1. delete the SAVE folder

2. in iGO GPS settings change the COM value to something else that it was (ex. com 3)

3. check the AUTODETECT and let the program to find the right settings

This is usual after ROM flashing

REMARK: you can do just step 2 and 3, but than this is necessary on every start of iGO. If you proced with all 3 steps, you don't need to do this till next ROM FLASH!

P.S. Greeting to Blade0rz for the nice work!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hoksangar:
i see..

now, i can try this rom without worried again..

:) :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Yeah, I forgot to change the reg key :o

I tried cooking in Opera 9.7b for the Full version and it still doesn't work, so I'm going to do a little more debugging. FingerKeyboard & SIPChange are in there though & working nicely.

I also cooked in Tachi for the M2D version, but for some reason it didn't activate.

Thanks for the tips ABM!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
:lol: no worries :)

Is there a skin for the dial pad that fits the newer WM6.5?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Not yet. Tachi is the best bet for skinning. Although I've read that MS are probably going to do a dialer update soon, so fingers crossed :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Thanks for the input ABM30 :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Yup, I'm going to integrate this once a new build hits :)

I'm still looking into getting Opera working with these builds. I tried taking the OEM files from 23047 so I'm pretty sure it's something within the new WM6.5 files - just can't figure out what :(

That's pretty much the only thing delaying the "Full" release with FK2.1/SIPChange/etc.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Your efforts are very much appreciated Blade0rz. Really looking forward to the next release :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SniperJunkie:
Got a problem guys, keep having to hard reset as after days of using this ROM my camera video stops working? I can take pictures but not video!!! PLZ HELP!!!

Can everyone please read the notes before posting
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Oh my God...it must be fricken Christmas!!

Thank you :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
No probs :) I'm going to try an official ROM (without modifications) and WM6.5 to see if Opera works & work from there.

If anybody has any requests for software to be added to the ROM, drop them here.

Also, some of the software in the ROM is just installed via CAB. Something was preventing the device from booting when cooked & I didn't have time to debug, so I just threw it in as a CAB. This will be fixed in the next version to free up some space.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
I would like to see Rishi's TaskBar.cab for the battery icon replacement.

A keypad skin would be nice, but they all seem to create a scroll bar.

I admit these could be done with the UC you've added (sweeeet!) but think they would be nice defaults.

I'm gonna read up on how to create an XML (or whatever) for UC to set all my control panel defaults i.e. region, screen brightness etc.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tylaxng:
Hi BladeOrz,

Rom u make is amazing, many thanks for your work.

New "Loaded" ROM can it be launch garmin mobile xt properly, a bit boring of 23047 user interface.

If can't, i hope next version can support it.

Thanks again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] yolinkin:
Hi guys.

I know i had a few days of missing from the forum ... but i see things r going great.

So .. Blade ... related to that post of yours, does Opera 9.7b1 works on *52?

And i wanted to ask you if i really need to use the 1GB card to Re-install the ROM cause since i got the 16GB one i kind of forgot where i`ve put the other one :( (i`m just concerned cause i remember reading about it on some random page on XDA forum). Is it crucial? Cause if that`s the case i gotta do some heavy digging through my messed up stuff to find that lil` bugger :P

BTW Blade, grats on your latest outcomes. Looks like you made loads of ppl happy :) ...

:cool: Great job dude ... Keep it up! :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
It's unlikely that Bladez0r has all software, and we shouldn't expect him to try programs for us.

He builds the ROM...you test it with the software you use.

If everything works OK with your current ROM maybe you should stick with it? iGO and Opera 9.7 don't work with 23052 so probably Garmin won't work either?

@ yolinkin: I've seen reports of people using 4GB cards to flash (not on the Zest). I *think* as long as mSDHC is supported by the boot ROM you should be able to flash from a mSDHC card. I haven't tried it myself as I haven't lost my 1GB card yet ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mikeycl:
great work

bladeorz

brilliant Rom am really impressed with the 23052 build feels much more snappy than previous ones and the addition of fingerkeyboard is a genius move.

my only problem is with opera as everyone else and also co-pilot 8 won't load it just hangs on the splash screen yet version 7 works fine. odd!!

oh and @ thrashman & yolinkin i have an 8GB card in my "zest" and have flashed the unit successfully several times now using it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Thanks for the info Mikeycl :)

A new version of Opera mobile 9.7 (build 35432) is avaialble, but this has same issue as last.....if that helps anyone? :)

SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 is about too.....but it STILL has the problem with kinetic scrolling (you can't stop it) :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
New build is on first page.

Bad news is that I tried an official OEM folder from the P565 with this release and Opera 9 still refused to work :( Meaning there is some conflict between the P565, these new WM6.5.x builds and Opera. I will try with some other builds (and 6.5 "old-UI") builds to see if I can find something that works. PIE sucks :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tylaxng:
Hi TMan,

Many thanks for your advice.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Thanks for the new build m8e :)

PIE does suck big style.....under WM6.1 it was quite usable with PIEplus but that doesn't work with the newer PIE :(

GJ with replacing gwes.exe.....seems to be a few peeps reporting bizare CPU loads with it. One suggestion was to use this task manager and set gwes.exe to "normal" priority.

I might not have read the 1st post properly....does build 60 have the UC facility?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Thanks for that ThrashMan :)

No, I left out UC in '60 as I was in a rush. It will be included in my ROMs for the forseeable future though...

edit: I may have found the root cause of Opera/iGo crashing. Will detail later tonight & possible even a new build :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
New fixed "loaded" build is on first page. Please read the notes before posting!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
Oooh, you've been playing again :) Good man.

How much space left on phone? Has UC?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
I always am ;)

I didn't check the space when I first flashed it, but it should be around ~65Mb free I think, possibly more. And UC is enabled, as it will be for all my future ROMs :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
ROM is a good 'en :)

About 70MB free. Good job with the Opera/iGO fix :)

Can the camera fix be applied after a flash? (to other ROMs)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Possibly, I'll have to check. In theory it's only missing DLL files. I'll upload later tonight/tomorrow for testing. Sorry, I was using so many different files/folders trying to get Opera to work I must have overwritten the fixed dlls :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ThrashMan:
No need to apologise m8. Might be interesting to apply the camera patch to an older WM6.5 that doesn't have the new screen layout i.e. Rishi's last ROM which is super skinny but suffers from the camera fault(s).

I'm not sure what Rishi removed, but getting 130MB of device storage is pretty groovy for WM6.5.

I loved your TF2D ROM, such a shame TF2D is such a memory hog.

Why are there 2 development lines in the WM6.5 ROM? (the 234xx series and the 230xx series)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pully:
I took the plunge and tried this, many thanks for bringing it to us Blade0rz :)

No major hiccups along the way, my fears were put at rest by watching a flash done on ustream which didnt take 1st time but was able to reflash correctly.

If a new version of a ROM comes out, is there a easy way now to put my data back on? I have my PIM data backup to MSN My Phone & on a PC so not worried about that but do I have to replace all my programmes etc one by one or will SPB backup work correctly? (have used SPB Backup when I have previously hard reset just never flashed this phone ROM before).

I think in a nutshell, whats the best way to flash ROMS and get back up and running again as quickly as possible with programmes installed?

Many thanks and great work :)
