Known Issues:

Small Fonts get blurry on Titanium / Today Screen, and sometimes images on Today Screen plug-ins (such as Artesea Twmr 6.5r) get distorted. - This issue has been confirmed by other people cooking WM 6.5 23028 regardless of the cook or kitchen used. It seems to be an issue related to the Microsoft code, and I am unable to fix it.

Thanks for providing this. This is exactly what I've been looking for. The base OS so I can install just the apps I want loaded and not have all the stuff I don't care about but have no way to remove.

One thing that would be nice to leave in would be the align screen process that starts up after loading the new ROM. I understand that if you're making your own ROM you can enter the alignment points into the build but when providing it for others it's kind of pain to try and get into the alignment setting when your screen isn't aligned in the first place. It's a minor thing process to go through after loading and you only have to do it once so leaving it in wouldn't be that big of a deal.

i will try it over the weekend , install with m2d which is my prefer interface
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
I purposely didn't include the screen align screen at the start and I don't plan to do it in the future either. But that doesn't mean that you align your to fit your screen. After you load the ROM go to Start - Settings - System - Screen and align your screen from there.

Good to see somebody from KL in here! I have very good memories of the time I have spent in KL. I was there about 2 years ago leading a project at the Petronas Towers. Really like your country.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] TomH123:
I understand you left it out on purpose and I understand how to fix it. I'm just pointing out that the settings only work for yor device and it's a pain to get to get to without having your screen aligned. Since everyone that downloads this ROM will have to run it why not have run automatically the first time it boots up?

Just a suggestion to make it a bit friendlier. It's your ROM so it's up to uou.

Thanks again for providing it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
A pain to navigate a few menus in order to align screen? I think that's a gross exaggeration. This version of WM 6.5 is finger friendly so you can navigate menus without super precision. So even if the settings are off a bit relative to your device, they will be close enough that you can navigate fairly easily.

I won't incorporate the welcome menu because they use up space and only work ONCE (during installation); so I think that between 'avoiding the pain of navigating a few menus) and having something stuck in memory that only gets used once, I favor the later.

I understand your point, but I will politely disagree.

I just want to say great Roms. I found your 23009 build a couple of days ago and thought it was great..it's just what I've been looking for! Today I upgraded to the 23028 build.

Theres 1 issue that I'm noticing in the 23028 build that I'm not sure is something with your ROM or with the build of WinMo OS itself. The issue is that I cannot setup a sync with Google to have my contacts and calendar synced to my phone. This worked fine on the 23009 build just fine. I have double and triple checked my settings with no luck. It tries to sync..but nothing is actually imported.

Just wanted to give you the heads up!

Keep up the great work!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
I am afraid that I don't sync with Google. I use Microsoft Exchange and it works perfectly. What do you use to sync with Google. A third party application or an application that is built into my ROM? If it's a third party application you need to report the bug there. Otherwise perhaps somebody else reading this forum uses Google Sync and can help you.

Would this be something I should get if I wanted a bare bones ROM and wanted Manilla 2D? Is that even possible or do Today screens like cHome, M2D, Moto, etc. have to be cooked in to the ROMS? If its possible, will a simple CAB do the trick to install M2D?

Thanks! Much appreciated.

I have noticed a bug in version 23028 (microsoft related), and I wonder if anybody knows how to fix it.

If I change the today screen theme or the wallpaper, the operating system changes the Today screen background successfully, and the top and bottom bars of the Start Menu, but leaves the old background in the middle section of the start menu. If I go to landscape mode that background shows OK (new one), but even if I return to the portrait screen the background is still messed up. The only solution seem to be a soft reset but that is undesirable. Any solution to this?

Great ROM, and great kitchen choice. It really makes things easy. I was going to a bit of customization here and there using osKitchen 1.0.8 but it seems that no matter what I do, even trying to build straight from your chocolate config with your sources, the platformbuilder has an error and crashes, which in turn causes nbmerge to crash, which then causes htc rom tool to crash...

Should I be using a different version of osKitchen or something?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
The kitchen that I am using was put together as follows:

1) I downloaded and extracted this file:

Kitchen with 23009 SYS&XIP and TPC's EXT, ver 1.0.3b My Server [CZE] | 4Shared

http://fek.plnydisk.cz/osKitchen_1.0.3b_full.rar

2) I updated the kitchen with this file:

http://fek.plnydisk.cz/osKitchen_1.0.8_update.rar

3) Download my 'sources' directory. Delete from the osKitchen that you ended up with after step 2 the entire directories that you see in my 'sources' file (from post 1)

4) Download the configuration file from post 1.

5) Open osKitchen and select my configuration file. Many any changes you like and start to cook.

That should work. It works for me on a Vista Ultimate system.

im rocking google android and really just need the windows startup so i can boot into android

thanks in advance
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
As I have no interest to run Google Android on the Kaiser (mainly because it is not fully operational yet), I haven't tried. But with my source files, the osKitchen, and my configuration file you can remove folders, burn and see if it burns to your liking. If all you need is the operating system to load, but you don't need office, flash, bluetooth drivers, media player, office, etc, etc. etc. I would not be surprised if you reduced the size by a further 1/3 or even 1/2.

Running GFxBoost on my WM 6.5 23028 ROM.

For those interested in using GFXboost on my WM 6.5 build 23028 ROM, here are my findings.

- It IS compatible.

- It won't install unless one has ConcurrenceMgr installed. So I had to install the following OEM/EXT package as well:

ConcurrenceMgr_1_5_19113219_0000

If you are using one of the Flash Ready (Vanilla or Chocolate) ROMs you can simply copy the files inside the above folder to the Windows directory, and execute the registry file inside the PPC. A soft reboot of the PPC is needed.

Once installed, I had to look for the GFXboost executable "GfxBoost.exe" because the cab did not create a shortcut on my system.

After executing GFxBoost.exe and enabling it, I noticed that the whole interface was slower. I didn't notice any other benefits on the interface.

Then I decided to play a movie with Windows Media. The movie DOES look smoother. There is noticeable improvement.

So my conclusion is that I WILL use GFxBoost with my WM 6.5 builds, but only when I play movies. The interface gets too slow for my taste with GFxBoost and therefore I will limit its use to movie playing.

You can download GFxBoost from here:

how to import all sim contacts

This rom looks great, but I was unable to see my sim contacts. I downloaded a sim manager because I was unable to import my sim contacts.Is there a way to import all your sim contacts without having to click on each one manually?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] incredulous:
Question.

In the first post you say that you have removed Skybox because 'you don't need a software store on your phone'

However, Skybox is MyPhone, not Marketplace. Have you removed MyPhone or Marketplace because I use MyPhone to backup contacts and messages on my Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
I never store my contacts in the SIM card, so I can't tell you if it is possible to import many at once, or if you need to import one by one.

how to remove the big buttons at the bottom of the screen?

how to make them standard?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
Microsoft is moving towards a finger friendly interface. The big buttons are part of that transition. I am testing out 23034 today and that one continues the trend in that direction moving the start button to that bottom task bar.

If you change to a different theme (one made for older versions) the buttons will change into the regular text; or you can create your own theme and specify that you don't want those buttons.

There is no on/off switch if that is what you are looking for.

The file that contains code regarding those icons is inside the *.tsk theme files. If you change the extension of a TSK to CAB you can open it with programs like WINRAR, and inside there you will find a file with extension *.rgu that has the reference to the bottom buttons.

witschey,

First off, thanks for uploading the ROMs - I am trying the "Chocolate" one right now.

I cannot figure how to insert a ringtone - the Ring tone drop-down list is empty - see image below.

I have a bunch of mp3 files, and tried putting them under /Windows/Rings as well as under SD Card/Windows/Rings. Neither works. I also tried converting mp3 into wma and doing the same. Again, no luck.

Would greatly appreciate your guidance or advice. Thanks much.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pndragon:
So I ended up doing my own test of installing Manill2d AND then reflashing and trying Moto on your 23028 and the results were that the latest version of Manilla was too slow and lagged when flying from one menu option to the other. The other downside to Manilla was that the latest version that is compatible with 6.5 requires too many dependency files that you end up spending another 20 minutes installing like 13 more cabs afterwards.

As for Moto, it worked like a charm and runs smooth enough to be really useful.

Now, the only problem I have encountered with 23028 and hope that it is resolved in 23034 is that there seems to be some .Net dependancies that are breaking some applications. Its happened to me twice now with two different programs that failed to run after being installed. The latest was Dashwire, and Dashwire gave me the following error message:

File- or Assemblyname

'Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony,

Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,

PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35'

and/or a dependence between it wasn't found

Looking around, the only suggestions I can find are to ensure that the following two entries are in the registry:

Location: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\Installer\Assemblies\Global]

Type: Multi-String

Name: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35

Value: "\Windows\GAC_Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony_v1_0_0_0_cneutral_1.dll","Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony.dll"

Location: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\Installer\Assemblies\ROM]

Type: Multi-String

Name: Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35

Value: "\Windows\GAC_Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony_v1_0_0_0_cneutral_1.dll","Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony.dll"

I have taken a look and sure enough, both entries already exist. What I can't confirm is wether or not the .dlls that they are refering to exist. I have NO idea how the .Net Framework works with WM6.5 and I have always just installed it myself. However I can't seem to install it in this ROM because I get a message saying that its already installed and I can't remove it.

I've never cooked so I don't know what your ability is to probe into the contents of 6.5, but can you check to see if those DLLs are in fact in there, or somehow find a way to either completely remove the .Net framework from the build or double check to make sure you didn't remove some of the necessary .Net dependancies?

I'm like a lot of other people here, completely excited at the prospect of having a fresh and bare ROM, so I deeply appreciate your effort... my 2 cents on your issue with keeping up with the latest builds;

- make the latest available without documentation (as is)

- concentrate on an MS build you're happy with and get it stable (like 23009) until you're ready to move on to another build

- only document the ones you plan on working to a semi-stable/stable build

I place ring tones in my storage card and they DO show up in that menu. Try placing them in a folder called "My Ringtones" inside the external storage card. Then do a soft reset and they should show up in the menu.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] witschey:
The dlls are not part of the source files OR the source files that I removed. I checked. If they get installed they get installed after some other file gets extracted. You can check if they are part of your Kaiser by going to the File Explorer application, go to the menu and make sure that "show all files" is selected, and then you can search inside the Windows directory for the files in question.

I haven't removed ANY files related to the .net framework. The exact same .Net framework files that are in 23009 are in this build. So NOTHING changed in relation to the .net Framework.

Yes, you can choose NOT to install the .Net Framework if you use OndraSter's "osKitchen". Simply deselect the .Net framework. However I doubt that will solve your problem. I have 60 3rd party applications installed on my 23028 build and every single one of them works perfectly. At least 1/3 of those require the framework and none of them have complaint.

If you feel that the .net framework in this build causes problems I suggest you ask OndraSter (the osKitchen developer) about it, as I am using the .Net framework that he provides in this kitchen and I have NOT altered anything WHAT SO EVER from it.

As far as I know both 23009 and 23028 are fully working. I ran both versions with more than 60 3rd party applications in them and I had no problems. However I keep the operating system clean without installing Manila and other shells that use up a lot of memory. Perhaps that is why you are having problems.

Updated: Single List Start Menu with Titanium Looks

Updated: Single List Start Menu with Titanium Looks

Yesterday a breakthrough discovery was found by a fellow xda-developers member which allowed me to fix the Single List Start Menu; so that both portrait and landscape modes are now aligned all the way to the left of the screen.

Previously the landscape mode was aligned to the left, but placed in the middle of the screen in order to avoid a 'ghost' image which appeared when switching from portrait and landscape mode and back to portrait mode.

In addition to that I found the selection image that allows the start menu to finally look the way I have always wanted. It has the same looks as the Titanium screen.

Below you will find some screen shots, and through the following link you can download the installation cab file for the "Single List Start Menu with Titanium Looks"
