[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EWAdams:
So, I've been trying to decide whose, if any, ROM to install, and to that end I've been looking at some of the kitchen software to see how they're made. It looks to me as if the ROMs are really just collections of available software with certain customizations. They don't seem like truly reverse-engineered, hacked versions of Windows Mobile. For one thing, no offense meant, but the number of people capable of disassembling WM and hacking it can't be that large. Setting registry keys is one thing; rewriting the code is something else. Yet there seem to be dozens of ROMs.

Am I wrong here? Are these ROMs really hacked versions of WM, or are they just variant collections of software with different settings and customizations?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
I shouldn't be answering 'cause I don't know much.... :o

...but I think your characterization is more-or-less correct.

AFAIK, since WM is not open source, nobody re-writes the WM guts of these roms...nor re-writes HTC Sense.

The Windows Mobile Development and Hacking board probably has definitive answers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
You are correct, these ROMs take what the Chef considers the best of various versions and combines them, plus they add the extra (free) tools that they deem to be the best. Then they cook them together and tweak the results until it is stable for the target device. So it is "pick and choose" components, based on a specific WM 6.x version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EWAdams:
Thanks for the clarification. That being the case, I won't bust butt trying to pick a new ROM as long as I'm happy with what I've got.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Well...the stock rom is fine if you like it. But the best custom roms do have some significant differences -- improvements, in many opinions -- over the stock rom....more than just reg tweaks. No, not modifications to the actual WM code, but significant things that make a difference in speed, etc. I'm not a rom cook, so I can't tell you exactly how or what. But as a rom user I know what I like. :p

I have no interest in trying to convince anyone...just sayin. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EWAdams:
How did you choose yours?

Speed and battery life are what I'm chiefly interested in, and you can usually improve both by clobbering unnecessary background processes. I want a system that's lean and mean.

I see you use Valkyrie. What made you choose that one in particular? Just curious.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
I use Energy ROMS, and he cooks in lots of neat extras. For example, Total Commander is cooked in, and there are several other utilities and applications, like the GPS tools that test the GPS connection.

I do find that I have to tweak the battery, advanced settings, and B&B Tweaks to get the battery life where I want. But the ROM is really great for usability.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Newcomers to Valky roms usually comment on how fast it is -- "wow yow" and all that. I've been an exclusively-Valky user for so long -- 5 or 6 months -- that I don't really have anything to compare it to anymore...but it certainly seems plenty fast. And the new releases are definitely faster than those from, say, a couple of months ago. I should mention that I only run Valky versions that are based on WM6.5.5 with Sense 2.5, so I can't comment on other flavors.

I'd say that rom-cook agent_47's Valkyrie roms are a little more spare -- less stuff built in -- than NRGZ28's NRG roms...and that's fine with me -- may help speed.

I also have to say that cook agent_47 genuinely seems like a nice guy. If people post bug-reports he posts fixes ASAP (as much as his school duties permit)...instead of telling them to bggr-off. I'm not saying other chefs aren't helpful...just that agent_47 is particularly so. And that matters to me.

After a long time on one cook's rom, people (me, but not just me) get so used to that cooks style that another rom may objectively be as-good-or-better but it won't seem so because it's different than what one is used to. I discovered this when a long-time NRG user and I "swapped" roms and tried the other guy's fave. Neither of us could stand it for long (like, less than a day) and switched back to the rom-line to which we'd become accustomed. :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EWAdams:
Thanks for the info. Alas, I have a Sprint CDMA phone, and it doesn't look as if the Valkyrie ROM is available for it. Guess I'll have to check out the Energy ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shaolin95:
I tried my first ROM yesterday (Energy) and the difference is night and day. It is honestly like a new phone....snappy and clean...heck it looks better than the SPB shell which I bought too quickly instead of trying ROMS first lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
It also uses way more memory than Mobile shell.

Personally, though I own MS and download NRG CHT 2.5, I disable all of them and simply use SPB Pocket Plus. Not flashy, but very functional.

If I weren't using that, I would use SPB Mobile shell - but you have to customize it to fit YOUR needs, or the capabilities are wasted. Also, check out Vostradamus application to customize the MS:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EWAdams:
OK, next stupid question.

Flashing a ROM replaces the registry, so you need to have all your tweaks backed up. I'm cool with that -- I can export particular keys that I care about. But does it wipe ALL your files and applications as well? If so, I don't understand these people who flash ROMs all the time -- I would think they would be perpetually reinstalling their apps and restoring from backup. I'd love to fool around with two or three different ROMs, but not if I'm going to be putting everything back on the phone each time I install a ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:
Yes you lose all your programs and files. But only the files that are stored on your phone memory. Not the ones on the SD card.

Most roms have some sort of autoinstall. This way the apps will be installed automatic.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shaolin95:
Well, it may use more memory as you say but the end result is the same to me, a better looking , faster, snappier phone so more or less memory, it still beats the crap out of my previous configuration. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
As other post suggested, some/many roms support an automatic-restore function call "User Customization" -- UC for short. It works such that after the new-rom-flash is complete UC reinstalls all of your apps and saved registry settings from a couple of folders on your sd card. I've only used the version that comes with the Valkyrie roms, "Silent UC", and it works fine, automatically, without requiring input from me.

There's another type of app/everything-restoring app called Sashimi. It's more-powerful, but I haven't bothered to learn it as silentUC works well for my purposes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EWAdams:
Many thanks. It looks as if it's just a question of having the CAB files available on the SD card, and a configuration file. Sounds pretty straightforward, although presumably I have to find all the keys that my applications set in the registry, too, and turn them into CAB files. Is that what you do?

Also gotta find out how to extract CAB files from desktop Windows .EXE installers... I know that's around here somewhere...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
For the registry entries, yes, you can convert to .cabs, or -- with Silent UC, at least -- just save/export them as .reg files and it will put them where they're supposed to go when it runs on the new rom.

Winrar or 7zip will open/extract .exe files and if there's a .cab inside you can get it that way.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
Actually, I find it also uses a lot more battery as well.

The latest NRG ROM goes below 60 MB available RAM when loaded with the programs I use. That isn't enough if one is going to use Opera 9.7 as a browser for any length of time.

Of course, it depends on what your particular likes/dislikes are, and the things which matter to you. That is the nice thing about burning ROMs - there are so many from which to choose.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shaolin95:
Indeed...always nice to have choices.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] doublen1:
I am addicted to the Energy Roms, they work the best for me and I tend to stick with the Titanium based roms without any Sense. Not because I don't like the Sense UI, but because the Titanium roms are so much more snappy and the battery life is fantastic.

so now i have a 2gb storage card...but i wanna upgrade a new 4gb....so can i just copy paste all files that i have on my 2gb card(including the installed rom and other stuff) to the 4gb memory card and then run it normall....i wanna do this because i dont wanna install the rom all over again,....so is this posible or do i have to do it all over again on the new memory card.... "xda rocks - :-)"
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draken Korin:
you don't have your rom installed on sd but in device memory, sd simply contains rom image meaning a change in sd capacity has nothing to do with having to reflash a rom

so go ahead and replicate your sd content on the new card and uou should be fine

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FRIEDjellyWALNUT:
Two days ago, I was running CyanogenMod 5.0.7.1-N1 with the latest version of pershoot's kernel.

I was looking for a replacement launcher app and stumbled across ADW Launcher. I installed it (by flashing the zip file in recovery), but I didn't really like it.

I had no idea how to uninstall it, so I figured I would just flash CyanogenMod again. I did just that, using Clockwork's ROM Manager.

Once I booted back in CyanogenMod, everything seemed normal. I slid the slider to unlock my phone, and everything was fine.

But when I tried to lock my phone, the button wouldn't do anything. I tried literally everything and the phone would not sleep. I restarted my phone, and the VERY FIRST TIME IT STARTS, before you slide the slider to unlock it the first time, the lock button works normally for locking and unlocking. As soon as you slide the slider for the first time and get to the menu, it becomes completely unresponsive.

I have completely wiped my phone, installed the stock 2.1update1 ERE27 ROM, and formatted my SD card, and still it does not work.

On the stock kernel, the screen timeout works fine. After the screen is timed out, the lock button unlocks the phone just fine, and once again, before I slide to get into my phone, the lock button functions normally. It's just as soon as I slide the unlock slider for that first time, the lock button dies.

I have no apps installed expect the ones that came with the stock ROM.

Sorry that was long, thanks for any help!!

tl;dr: Installed ADW launched over CyanogenMod, then uninstalled the launcher and lock button went kaput.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senortighto:
I had the same problem as you before I rooted. The power button would unlock the device and whatnot, but didn't work when trying to put the display to sleep. I sent it in to htc for a warranty repair and all was well until I flashed to cyanogen's 5.0.6 ROM. It stopped working after that, but because it was just fixed, I attributed it to something in the ROM. Once I updated to the latest cyanogen build though, it was working again. So I'd say either try reflashing your current one, or update to a new one and see if that helps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FRIEDjellyWALNUT:
I've tried reflashing CyanogenMod 5.0.7.1, and there was still the same problem.

So now I'm following the [ROM] Original Shipping Tutorial procedure to get as close to absolute stock as possible.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnboywilson:
LOL i had this same problem. But i worked it out.

Try going into spare parts selecting end button behavior and then choosing go to sleep.

I only had this problem with the latest cm rom.

I'd maybe look at pushing those back onto internal storage to see if it has any effect on things. Any apps installed to the SD card will definitely not load instantly - the phone doesn't actually scan the SD card until the OS is pretty much fully loaded as I understand it.
