Tony,

It is a hybrid of the stock UK and IT WM6.5 ROMs extensively 'cleaned' and with the various refinements mentioned in the original post. If you are after a WM6.5.x edition with a different radio it is quite a simple step to take one of the various fully 'cooked' offerings and splice together with the IT Radio. If you ask the original chef they may well be happy to provide, or you could try doing yourself - it is a good first step to learning how everything fits together !
[TG01 ROM Development] TONYKENT:
Thanks Kevin, would you be able to make a 6.5.5 rom?
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Tony, I'd suggest you try one of the already cooked WM6.5.5 ROMs - there are several available. Full details have been summarised by @Pere in this post.
[TG01 ROM Development] TONYKENT:
Thanks Kevin, I am using Novembre's new clean rom but noone has combined a 6.5.5 rom with the current uk radio.
[TG01 ROM Development] adzman808:
i thought he had already....?

Is the ROM you want not this one? Or am i getting confused between radio versions?!!

[TG01 ROM Development] TONYKENT:
Sadly no...

The 1600.05 radio is a foreign version. I am trying Novembre5's new 1600 instead of 1700.

The newest UK radio is Radio Version 5001.0300.76
[TG01 ROM Development] Shujitzu:
This is the perfect rom for uk users. As stated before no one really made one with the uk radio version. As all the roms I tried here with other radio version doesn't really help with the call quality here in uk.

Im using this for three days now and i did not come across any problems yet.

This is a must for UK users. highly recomended

Thumbs up to Kevin. cheers mate:D
[TG01 ROM Development] bib*oops:
Actually this is the italian version...
[TG01 ROM Development] TONYKENT:
would still be nice with the 6.5.5 interface!
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Correct ! This was stated previously.... it is the Italian Radio and 'boot' front end amalgamated with a totally cleaned up and somewhat modified version of the UK Orange OS. But also as has been commented, it does actaully seem to work very well in the UK :)
[TG01 ROM Development] TONYKENT:
My experience of the Radios is that both Radio 1600 and 1700 are not as good as the 176 radio.

As for the Cooked ROMS, Novembre 5's are very quick and stable. Sense reduces my tg01 to a crawl!

So how about your radio with a 6.5.5 rom?!
[TG01 ROM Development] Pere:
Do you mean 5001.0300.76?
[TG01 ROM Development] TONYKENT:
is that the current updated official uk radio as well as italian?
[TG01 ROM Development] Shujitzu:
italian or uk. its the best rom i've used so far in regards to call quality here in uk.

its good to have 6.5.5 but there aint much difference anyway and the looks of this rom is really good. gps also connects quicker than the other roms here in my experience. the only thing that should be change with this rom in my opinion is the battery starts from 99 then down to 89 and so on but not a big problem.

I still recomend this for UK users..:D
[TG01 ROM Development] bib*oops:
No, he means 5005000176, the last radio(included in ROM) update for UK.

5001030076 is the last update for Italy...
[TG01 ROM Development] mirolg:
REG entry for correction:

Many thanks - this will be included in an update version to be issued shortly.
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Tha k you for the positive feedback... there will be an update soon to fix a couple of Start menu icon issues and also the battery.
[TG01 ROM Development] Pere:
But only ROM #22 (on my table) from kevinpwhite has 5001030076,

Any cocked rom with 5005000176???

[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Hi, many thanks for your interest; I'm afraid though I don't have any plans to incorporate an HTC interface as I prefer either the (old-style) Today with a lot of detail displayed or either the Titanium UI or SPB Mobile Shell. Very happy though if anyone else wished to adopt and carry out that conversion. There will also be a further update shortly incorporating an animated boot screen :)
[TG01 ROM Development] gamerr120:
ahh okay man fair enough (: i like the idea of the 'best' rom for the TG01 with features that allow us to get the most out of the phone, nice work man :) and i shall ask around see if anybody will do it :) cheers buddy :)

Hello All,

Thanks very much for the rom Kevin. I have been running this rom for a couple of days with only 2 resets(probably down to me). I switched the phone on as normal this morning after a charge and I have had numerous phone calls cut out but just before i got disconected I could hear a strange noise from the ear piece. Has anybody else had similar problems? The battery doesn't seem to have lasted very long. I am on orange and use a mugen battery. I have tried soft reset to no avail. do you think a re-install of the rom would be beneficial.

regards,mkultr4
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Hi, I am not aware of anyone else having reported a problem like that (in fact have not really heard of any issues) - difficult to comment from a distance as there can be many variables, such as assorted 3rd party apps which can sometimes misbehave, especially in certain combinations.

You shouldn't need to 're-install' the ROM - but you can do a hard reset which will get you back to exactly the same state (hold camera and Vol Up buttons during power on; then follow screen instructions to execute HR). Just make sure you have saved any data first.

I am using the Mugen 1.3AH battery and find it lasts very well, so would expect you to get the same.

Good luck - I hope will prove to just be a one-off glitch.
[TG01 ROM Development] dr_strangetrick:
Hi Kevinpwhite, I like your current rom and the issue with icons disappearing is 99% better but I have one problem.

When I use my TG01 with my Jabra BT earpiece the volume is very very low. Callers can here me just fine but even with all the volumes turned all the way up callers are barley audible through my earpiece.

Using the phone without my earpiece is fine and using your previous rom was also fine.

Thanks
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Hi,

Can you clarify what the 'dissapearing icons' comment relates to please ?

There were no (intended !) changes to the Bluetooth functionality between ROMs; I have just done a comparative test between my original ROM and the latest beta I am currently working on and I'm afraid cannot detect any difference.

This test was first driving a BT speaker unit and then a Sony Ericson MW600 earphone adapter into my Westone canalphones.

So far as I know, the BT elements in the two ROMs are identical... difficult to know what to suggest apart from the usual generic things like making sure the headset and TG are fully charged and carry out a soft reset.

I shall be issuing a further update shortly (probably Wednesday), though as mentioned, BT should be identical all through - but you may wish to wait for that and then try again if you feel worth trying a hard reset.
[TG01 ROM Development] dr_strangetrick:
Hi again, when I say disappearing icons I was referring to the problem where program icons for applications that live on the sd-card are replaced with just the generic white square. There is a thread about this somewhere but I cant put my finger on it and its quite bad on the other chefs roms but yours is pretty good.

Your previous rom did had this quite bad but the current rom is great and 9 times out of ten all the icons appear and its just every now and then I will get just one or two white squares.

Strange as I would expect all the icons to fail not just the odd one and its never the same one twice. Odd but I had the same problem on my Omnia and there was no cure for it either so I wouldn't be too concerned about it and I look forward to trying your new rom.
[TG01 ROM Development] badaas:
this happened to a recent htc jade rom i had (cooked), so may be a build # issue, not a phone specific issue.
[TG01 ROM Development] dr_strangetrick:
Hi Badaas, I am not entirely sure of that.

When I had my Omnia I only had a 2Gb card and my Omnia had 8Gb flash so I transfered everything to the flash and all the program icons came up as white squares.

Applications installed on the sd card were fine, just the built in flash was a problem. This was a while ago and I tried several roms and because i used the finger mouse I reverted back to 6.1 and this still had the problem.

I have not experienced the problem since then until I got the TG01 and I know it does not have a flash drive but this time its programs installed to the sd card and I have tried several roms and its the same.

Kevinpwhite rom has practically cleared this up and I just have the odd icon and it does not do it every time but from what I recall when I had my Omnia it does happen to other devices and its something to do with when the device starts up the card/flash is not ready when Windows loads all the icons so you get the white squares.

If you open WINDOWS\START MENU\PROGRAMS etc all the icons show and on several occasions I have managed to 'reload' or 'refresh' the icons and then they all show again.

So I dont really think its build related but i'm not an expert.
[TG01 ROM Development] badaas:
well i've just flashed this rom, and straight away both progs i installed went to generic icon :S

one was total commander (cecmd) on SD, and the other link i made via TC for tomtom on SD

gpsgate installed to phone memory the icon is fine.

have hard reset now and will try the same and see what happens.

this didnt happen on the ffboy 6.5.x + sense 2.5 beta 3 i was using before this at all..
[TG01 ROM Development] badaas:
hard reset seems to have fixed it (master clear) - should always do this from 1st install, i forgot oops! might want to add it to first post, as a lot of people may not know the htc usual instructions for flashing roms ;)
[TG01 ROM Development] badaas:
hmm, nope. bu99ered again, soft reset and they now gone to generic icons!

SD installed progs all white generic icons now .. just made a link from SD to /windows/start menu/navigation and the icon is there.

will reset and see what happens. .
[TG01 ROM Development] badaas:
all messed up, sd apps no icons.

am reading it may be slow sd bootup, but mine is class 4! im guessing may be linked to tg01 sd issues?

here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=681988
[TG01 ROM Development] leeston2379:
I may be wrong but i believe its due to the sd being loaded after windows so when windows looks for the program at boot its not there so a default icon is assigned, but by the time you can get to the start menu the sd has loaded and your program starts from the link. Cant tell you if this is fixed in 6.5.5 as i made a habbit of installing to device after this issue appeared when the TG was still very new.
[TG01 ROM Development] dr_strangetrick:
Ive changed my card to a branded 8Gb class 6 and the problem happened on Kevinpwhites last rom but not on the current rom
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
I understood that this was the recognised explanation when this behaviour occurs.

Just for clarification - there should be nothing different between the two ROMs being mentioned which would affect this aspect of Windows.
[TG01 ROM Development] badaas:
found a prog called refreshstartmenu.exe but doesnt work on these builds :S
[TG01 ROM Development] badaas:
well i know on ffboys beta3 rom, with me using same SD with same apps loaded etc the problem never occured, so maybe there's a trick to boot the SD first before windows loads?
[TG01 ROM Development] sebatg01:
Hello Kevin,

Thank you for the ROM that you made. I like it very much but I am not able to use it because it is not working with the bluetooth Sony Ericsson that I have. With the help of forum I was able to change the radio to 5005.1600.05 and the bluetooth works very well. But, sadly, I somehow corrupted the GPS and now the GPS is not working. I tried change radio to the other ROM`s and with all the GPS is not working. So I failed! Can you, please, make your ROM with radio 5005.1600.05 and upload it? Thanks, Seb
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Hi, Thanks for the positive feedback. Sorry you are having problems with the Bluetooth. However, I am using the build with a Sony Ericsson MW600 BT headset adapter and it works absolutely fine, so I suspect that there is something else causing your problem. It is possible that some of your software apps aren't playing nicely together; the only sure solution in that event is to start witha completely 'clean' boot and then add oe at a time until you discover the cuplrit but can be a very time consuming and tiresome exercise.

I am intending to release another edition shortly, so would request you try that out and see if it works OK. I am using that current 'beta' right now and it definitely works well with the BT headset and also external BT speakers. If not then I will consider doing an alternative radio edition.
[TG01 ROM Development] sebatg01:
Thanks for quick response. I tried all options before I make my courage to write but sadly it is not working for me. I use Sony Ericsson BT Headset HBH-DS205. It works fine with your ROM with radio version 1600 with all the apps I installed (with the GPS scrambled) but not with 0300. So, because I am unable to change the version of your ROM sucesfully I will wait maybe you will want to do. Thanks again. Seb
[TG01 ROM Development] dr_strangetrick:
Hi again Kevinpwhite, something odd happened last night regarding the missing icons problem

I started IGo (which I use several times a week) and it hung on the loading screen. Very unusual as it works and loads quite quick and I had used earlier during the day without problem. I took the back cover off and pressed reset.

My phone hung when it got to the home screen, I tried again and it hung. So I took the battery out and it hung again. Anyway I tried several times and it was the same.

I got home and took my sim card out and my sd card, switched on and all was ok. So I popped my sim card back in and left my sd card out and it still worked. So I repeated and put my sd card in also and it hung again.

So I took my card out and plugged it into my laptop and ran a full scandisk, 15mins later it reported no errors. I popped my card back in and it and powered on but it hung again.

This time I copied everything off my card, reformatted my card and copied everything back then put my card back in and everything works.

But all my icons for any applications installed to the sd card are all blank, don’t know as I copied via dos and verified every file, done a file compare (all ok) and copied back also via dos using the verify flag and no errors we reported and once again I ran a file compare again (all ok)

What I dont understand is whats happened, the card passed scandisk with no errors and all I did was to copy the files off and back on again. I don’t expect you to fix it and I am not saying its a problem with your rom but I thought I would pass this on
[TG01 ROM Development] badaas:
similar thing is happening with disappearing icons on ffboy 6.1 rom im using. using spbshell on that, it has to keep reloading icons. i'm wandering if sleep mode has something to do with it. i also notice when first going to sd from boot, it waits to load the card before any files are listed.

on 6.5.x rom beta3 of ffboy no icons disappear, maybe something from these oemdrivers http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=704122
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Thanks for the additional information..... I'm afraid this issue goes beyond my level of expertise. From various threads I've read over time I understand that some devices / builds can be temperamental with some Flash cards of varying form factor, capacities and manufactureres, but don't believe there is any really definitive set of facts around the issue.

Personally I've always installes apps in main memory and used the storage card for, well, storage of data.... I've consequently never encountered problems, either with apps running correctly or displaying icons. So in the interests of simplicity, that approach would be my recommendation.

One thing worth considering is that I believe that there may be some differences in the formatting of a card done on a PC compared to being formatted within native WinCE. I'd suggest formatting on the device using Resco, SK or one of the other disc managers.....

Hello Kevin,

thanks for the Rom. I have used this with totom and it has been fine so far. The only slight problem I have found is I'm using SPB shell and the screen calibration icon cannot be displayed. The prorams I have installed do not work sometimes straight from boot, it seems I have to wait a while or access something from the SD card. is ther a fix for this?

regards,Ricky
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
@rollobbs, thank you for your interest and feedback. I have also had the GPS lock and then drop after 30 seconds. I now believe that the A-GPS is the issue. Possibly dependent on the server you put in. I am now running with A-GPS deactivated (a simple registry setting) and find that the normal GPS works beautifully.

Please run the attached View attachment AGPS_Off.cabwhich will change your AGPS FixMode to 0 instead of 2.

Or if you wish to just edit the registry, it is:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\GPSOneDevice
RegDword=0

Do please let me know how you get on with this change ?

Missing Screen Calibration Icon

Hi Ricky,

Thanks for flagging.... can I just clarify that the issue is that this icon doesn't show up correctly ?

I must apologise - it appears that the file was inadvertently deleted. To rectify, please download (right click the image and save) and copy to the \windows directory and it should then display correctly, both in the normal Start menu and in SPB MS 3.5.3. I have just done this on mine using AS / WMDC and it now displays correctly. [I will also include in a future ROM update].

With regard to the lag in opening programmes, I gather you proably have installed on the uSD card rather than main memory ? This has been discussed at length elsewhere, but I believe is a general issue with WM behaviour rather than this particular ROM. Personally I always install to main memory and use the card for data, music and pictures and find that works very well. I gather that some apps are more tolerant of being run from the card than others, so may also be related to the particular apps you have installed.
