This certainly looks like a good idea and concept. But, as I can see, some are already slightly offended by the idea and use of their roms. Maybe letting them know ahead of time would be a good idea as you are using something they built on. To the same point, if chefs would sometimes listen to what some are requesting (roms without 30 apps you'll never use) then there wouldn't be such a need for something like this. Collaboration instead of cliqueing up would certainlyu help the situation. I personally stopped using some roms due to it being loaded with stuff and not even having 30 mb of program memory after I installed the stuff I do use. Some chefs say its made for their own personal use...then don't release to the public and not listen to feedback as that's the natural order of things when you open it up to the masses. Lastly, maybe if graphics were stripped out, it would make the released roms a little less offensive:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] NRGZ28:
Oh.. so what is this.. a way to "punish" the chefs that won't listen and don't stop putting "30 apps you'll never use" in their ROMs ? Come on... If you want to make a difference make your OWN ROM... not dump someone else's.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] truffle1234:
i love your rom, very good and stable, but with lots of things i will never use... i will download this rom and try it out...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwill:
Its not man. And I didn't intend for my statements to be taken that way. You have the ability to make them, so you do. What you want to put out is fine, and if I don't like it, try another or cook my own as you said. But, in my case (just like any industry) the chefs are better at it than I. So, I go with what you all put out. People should NEVER be punished for the actions they choose to take if it's for the better. In your case, it is, as masses of people enjoy their phone much more because of you. Including me:) I'll stop cluttering your thread GSLEON and I only commented because I believe everyone deserves a fair say and no one is wrong if their actions are taken in a non malicious manner.

I see nothing wrong with this at all

I personally like Josh's Uberlight that is very minimum, allowed me to install my personal programs that I use as a sales rep. I do like certain ROMs, but without all the bloated softwares. So if I could dump the cooked ROM, and re-cook them with my personal programs would be great. Of course, I could not distribute my ROM, but they are mainly for my personal use.

OP. I would also like to know how you dump and recook the dumped rom. When I do that, I got one large folder with all the files.

Donations are DONATIONS

My only comment is that I completely support the altering or improving of the "free" ROM's offered on this site! What if HTC came to us (as a community) and tried to legally shut us down (as has beeen done with other software / hardware areas - look at the DVD / Video industry)?

As an aside - I asked valid, well searched questions on NRG's thread on several occasions. As I recall I was never answered or even commented to. I sent several PM's to him and his "thread moderator". I never got a response. I still gladly donated to his work BUT I will gladly support this work after that experience!

An arena that is "for profit" should be separate form this one .......

I have used many different ROMs, and ALWAYS end up back on Energy within a day or so. It isn't always the fastest, but it is the one that works the best.

This idea of ROM compression is a good idea, and when I first read it I immediately downloaded the ROM. However, I had just flashed NRG's latest, and wanted to play around for a few days before flashing something new.

Then I read his post about having not been asked permission first...

I do feel there is some aspect of open source to all of this cooking, and GSLEON3 gave all of the credit to NRG, however, I feel he should have sent a PM or posted in the EnergyROM thread first.

I feel it would have been better to compress the ROM for your own benefit, and play with it until you were comfortable enough to cook it into your own ROM. Instead you opened a new thread and posted someone else's ROM with your own tweaks, and for this reason I will probably never flash it.

However, I do hope that you can share this technique with other chefs, and ultimately churn out a better overall product. Ethics in this realm can get a little murky, but never stop experimenting! Just think things through a little better.

Isn't that a long-standing bug in Sense 2.5 ROMs ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
As I posted 2 days ago in the thread. I don't care if you distribute it, since NRGZ28 does not care anymore either.

I would not be posting right now, had my integrity not been publically questioned.

Normal packages would not include cam1.exe, or cam1.exe.0409.mui

I did write all the code that is in camera.exe that is included with the ROM.

It was a pretty simple process.

I renamed the original camera.exe to cam1.exe and renamed camera.exe.0409.mui to cam1.exe.0409.mui

Then wrote code in C# to create a new camera.exe that does the following:

change one registry entry

launch cam1.exe with the parameters passed to camera.exe

wait for cam1.exe to exit.

after it exits, change the registry entry back to what it was.

then exit.

Like I said in a previous post in this thread. It took me about an hour.

The version that I publically posted did not pass the parameters on to cam1.exe.

I gave NRGZ28 a version of camera.exe that did pass the parameters. Then he renamed his original camera.exe to cam1.exe and renamed camere.exe.0409.mui to cam1.exe.0409.mui.

I have given my original version to multiple chefs on XDA that cook for the Raphael. Later NRG IMed me that it was not passing the parameter. It was kind of a whoops moment. Then fixed it and gave him the copy.

I've publically shared the majority of my windows mobile devlopment works. Of course I request that people donate if they are able, because I have invested alot of time in some of my other projects, such as the weather city editor. It is far more usable than I need it to be for personal use. And my next edition will be supporting internationalizion through an editable file. Not much reason for me to do that, but it makes it more usable for the rest of the world.

Ark's next...niiice! I've been using his last 23518 Build and it is very stable, but alas it has many programs which I just do not use, so as long as he says it is OK to re-cook a Lite version I'd be happy to use it.

P.S. Remember to cook in his Facebook Fix found in is Rom thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] hskeik:
dear GSLEON3

can you mix the valky's ROM with Energy? Valky's ROM (as stable one), and energy's shape (graphics) please ?

another question, which kitchen you use?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
GSLEON3, thanks for this thread, I apreciate what you do here. I also would not have asked, because I do not ask when I am not able to take "no" as an answer. In this case I inform, which was done more than appropriately in the first post of this thread. However those who are angry are legitimatley so in their thinking, and I thank them also for their work.

However at the launch of this thread I was eager to try the lite versions, but when I saw that it was provided with Manila 2.5, I wondered if the Rhodium processor is fast enough for this. I had a Palm TX before, and everything was instantaneous (or sometimes made instantaneous by 1src developpers). OK it was not multitasking, but some of us prefer fast mono-tasking to slow multitasking... E.g. I do not understand why, on the rhodium, when I change the keyboard from alpha to numeric, it takes half a second...

After trying a lot of ROM, I have now reverted to the WM 6.1 stock Rom with SPB Mobile Shell to have something fast and configurable. Do you think a lite version of WM 6.5, M 2.5 will be as fast ? About the nice icons of e.g. Energy Rom, doesn't it make our machines slower ? Overall, can someone tell me what we will gain from WM 6.5.X and M 2.5 on the Rhodium which we do not have with WM 6.5 or even 6.1 and M 2.1 (besides the esthetics which is not the priority for me) ? New functionalities ? I will try this if I get some positive answers...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GSLEON3:
I am going to do some serious house cleaning here. I don't want "THIS CHEF" one line posts.

I got it on the popular roms, that's enough. That will give me a style idea to work with.

I obviously will have to try and do multiple versions; 6.1, 6.5 OEM, & 6.5.x

I am gonna keep it to one theme & one ring tone & a handful of alerts/alarms so that there is no wasted space. Initially It will be WWE only as well. I will try to then integrate language packs.

WHAT I REALLY NEED NOW:

Suggestions as to the packages you think should be included.

Sips most used.

Text messaging style most used.

Manila, which version, Sense?

The types of BASE packages that you'd like to see cleaned up, lightened & optimized for both size &/or speed.

I really don't need any more direct references to chef's, just specific packages & basic necesities in a semi-lite rom. By semi-lite I mean that there are a few things like Live I intend to cook in for messenger, or should thaty be left as cab too?

Give me some meat to work with.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GSLEON3:
I stated before I have asked NRG to help out or work with him in the past without really ever getting any answer. Sure, maybe I should have PM'd him first, but my thinking was that none of us PM HTC or MS asking anything & that anything in the rom the NRG liked, he was free to take & use, like the action screen. Nontheless, I probably should have at least extended the courtessy to him. For all of you that just like to stir up trouble, I have PM'd NRG, I plan on remixing a few more roms soon & will make the same statement to all of you that I did to NRG:

Now bear with me as I get back to rebuilding the tools I use to compress, build, modify & yes even repackage. You can repackage allinone roms. It is not easy, but you can do it if you read around a bit & understand some of bepes new tools & what they can really do, own wince cab manager & have a lot of time & paitience. That is NOT what this thread is about. It's about providing a few lighter versions of certain roms temporarily (not every version) & finding out what new features are worth adding & what is better lef to devices they were designed for, or left available for addin via cab per an individuals own prefference.

I'll tell you right now, my CFC remix (most CFC are pad only currently) has a bigger memory leak than the NRG original.

I will be writting ARK_666 next to let him know, & I will also ask him if he wants to play together on one more officially. I have been trusted with full kitchens from dutty & others in the past. They did this because they trust me not to blatantly claim their work as my own. I dare you to find one example of me posting any package from any kitchen ever entrusted to me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GSLEON3:
It is MOSTLY asthetics. There are a few new tabs & if you use social network it is pretty neat. Other than that...Not much new. Really I want to do a truly lite rom with only Manilla or only Chome. Not both when most of us use only one or the other.

Personally I'd most like to see a working Xperia camera on our devices over manilla 2.5+. Yes, you can get it to launch, but you can not get it to take a pic , no snap. However, it really makes a difference. There is virtually no lag or tracers when you move the camera around. Maybe an idea for a future package to work on????
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] hskeik:
I think you can make more than one release,

for example: one clean (lite) version, other version with sense 2.5, and so ....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
Gsleon, as you tweak Action Screen, is there a reason for it to hide the status bar at start? It would be useful to see it always, e.g. when you are in opera mini (hiding stats bar), want to make sure you use wifi instead of 3G and otherwise switch to wifi...

Edit: You have Slide to shutdown in this light Energy Rom instead of Action Screen on long power press :confused:

Edit2: The combination of WM 6.1 stock Rom + SPB Mobile Shell is not a good one (memory leakage apparently), I am testing Energy light Rom since yesterday, looks good. I do not see what is missing, but I could do without Slide to Shutdown, Games, widgets, windows live, Facebook, Twitter...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wn0x:
Clean, Lite & Fast - Thanks

GSLEON3,

Really like the rom because it is clean lite and fast. I am a business user so need a reliable build that allows me to access features quickly. I prefer the later versions of Manila because of the more readable e-mail wallpaper, on-screen access to applications and landscape support.

From a style perspective I need a clean, professional look - no distractions or advertisements - preferably with no graphics, just a black screen. I do like the color icons with later versions of Manila.

I usually ony receive texts, so the wallpaper Manila version that allows me to scroll quickly and "reply to" is fine.

As a AT&T Tilt2 user, the only feature I miss is MS Voice Command which is standard on the Tilt2, and a way to map the PTT button and Phone button (Press and Hold) to activate MVC.

I would like to cook myself, but currently volunteer many hundreds of hours writing software for public safety, so don't have the time.

Thanks for making my Tilt2 a usable device. While the rest of the HAZMAT team is fiddling with there i-phones I am getting work done. :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] atomixpaintball:
I agree with the above poster. I flashed this cleaned up ROM last night and I really like it.

My only suggestions would be to add the LEO 2G Dialer, preskinned to match the rest of the ROM.

I also would like to see a more business looking ROM with the default white taskbar icon set, and a simple black/white theme.

Other than that, I like what youve done.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
I had two issues with this lite Energy Rom :

1. the ring stopped working after some calls. I have read in the Energy thread that you can fix it definitely by making the phone ring before Sense loads, seems to work.

2. "My location" does not work (3g, wifi). Not a big issue to me.

Apart from above no problem at all, much better than the combination WM 6.1 stock and Mobile Shell which was very buggy on my phone.

I guess you have read that some chefs are now using a faster verion of Sense (2.5.2011). Would be good to get it on a light version...

I use tomtom with bluetooth for when I'm bicycling but when I put the phone in my pocket it will press the touch screen...

So I tried TouchLockPro but that didnt work, when I lock it it will minimize tomtom after a while.

Maybe anyone else knows something that works.

I prefer a program that not only locks the touch screen but also turns off the screen yet let tomtom run so the phone doesnt go standby.

Any idea's?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
TouchLockPro has an option to keep the phone alive. I do not know which phone you have, but you must couple the TouchLockPro command "!BACKLIGHTOFF;!KEEPALIVEON"

If you have a Touch Diamond, this one is already configured as left swipe down (Capacative NavSensor).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kadooosh:
I do have the Diamond so ill reinstall it and see if I can fix it.

But does that solve the problem of tomtom being minimized after a few minutes?

Also is there a way I can turn off touchlockpro if I wanna test something?

I just tried it but when I do swipe left down it minimizes tomtom so it still loses it gps connections.

I really love this program and if this can be fixed so I can use tomtom on my bike I'll donate something ;).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmmm, it looks like TomTom does not like to have the screen go off and that is the behaviour thereafter.

You are not the only one with this problem.

I can add an option to keep the display on (only keep the backlight off), but then you would still use too much battery I think. Would that help you :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kadooosh:
I think that would certainly help, right now I just keep the display on and tomtom still works for hours, I only need the battery to last for about 4 - 5 hours.

And maybe if it works very well I will buy a bigger or seperate battery.

Im a bike messenger(fietskoerier ;)) so this would be of much use to me :).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ZuinigeRijder:
Ok, I will add this to the TODO/wish list of TouchLockPro. Somehow it will be a command to keep the screen on.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mikesands:
After much experimenting I have managed to get this to work using S2U2. I can set TomTom going, then press a key to activate s2u2 and TomTom continues running in the background giving me the voice commands. The only problem is that you have to disable any auto-off you have running either in the basic phone or in s2u2, otherwise TomTom goes off as well. This is not a big problem except that you have to remember to reconfigure the auto-off when you have finished using the Diamond for navigating. (or you'll run your battery flat quickly).

I'm tryng to set up a Y-connector and lead from the bike battery so that I can use the unusual (auto-off) setting only when the Diamond is on external power.

Mike
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Wolfenstein:
I use my Diamond not for bike-navigation, but for saving my bike route for later review via www.mobota.net (gps tracker).

To improve battery power, i use an external 4200mAh battery with usb-mini-usb plug plus the regular HTC Splitter

http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Splitter-...5?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1274346196&sr=8-5

that allows using a headset plus the external battery at the same time, giving enough power for a whole-day ride.

It isnt that cheap, but on the other hand works reliably, and spending your own time usually isnt worth it.

when listening to music via the media player, switching off the phone only deactivates the display, letting the gps programm active while still playing the music.. but since you need the tomtom voice commands, that probably wont work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mikesands:
so where do you get the 4200mah battery? I've done a search and can't find anything
