I stand by that comment.

You are welcome to dev if you don't like the choices.

I'd be more concerned about the fact that we only have our choice of a few kernels.

But then again, if it's that big of a deal, I would learn how to build a kernel and not sit here whining about it.

rom support

I am i agree! Do it don't talk it rom grropies i tell ya! Be a doer not a talker!:cool:
[EVO 4G General] JTNiggle:
I agree that there WAY too many ROM's in here that are just themes wearing a ROM's mask. I do get frustrated when schlepping through pages of themed ROM's just to get to the good stuff. As such, I voted yes.

But I do like what it does for the community. Like others have said, having a variety of choices is a great thing. And as long as the "Developers" of these "ROM's" are giving the right credits, which they almost always are, then I don't really see the harm in it. For guys that are just learning, like myself, it's nice to see what can be done at all levels, from beginner to advanced. This way beginner developers don't shy away from sharing their work because they don't feel that it's worthy of the community.

With that said, any "ROM" that I could build using 7zip, Paint.net and Notepad should not be in the Dev section. I am nowhere near being a developer, but have customized plenty of ROM's myself using those simple programs. I would NEVER consider those to be worth releasing on here. I do set them up on family and friends phones, but that's it for now. If I ever do come up with something I feel like releasing, I'll start with just a theme, and post it in the appropriate Themes and Apps section. :D
[EVO 4G General] M@XLOL:
this is hillarious.

As others have stated I would much rather our forum have too many roms then not enough. This is one of the busiest forums on xda which is awesome.
[EVO 4G General] okaytran:
i wish all the big name devs get on a group skype and do a collab ROM and offer each of their themes as an addon zip. and that collab ROM would be the fastest sexiest thing ever.
[EVO 4G General] pulser_g2:
Thread closed and re-opened after a little cleanup of a couple of flaming posts.

The XDA line on this is that all developers must abide by rule 12. If someone produces a "ROM" which is a clone of another ROM, it should be reported as such, unless permission was sought from the original dev, and credit given as required.

There's nothing wrong with a lot of ROMs for a device. But there is a lot wrong with taking someone's work and calling it your own.

I have taken down ROMs before claiming to be original work, which had

- 4 more apps added to /data/app

- a different name in build.prop for ro.modversion

That is NOT development, and does NOT belong on XDA. It's something you can do for yourself at home, but nobody else wants to have it. Market lets you install apps, and build.prop is a little credit to the dev, so leave it...

There are some things not worthy of releasing, and your own "rebrand" of a ROM is one of those. Original ROMs are good, straight copies of someone else's are NOT.

If you see any of these, report them with the warning triangle at the top right, ideally with some kind of proof, or at least the exact version of the ROM it is copying...
[EVO 4G General] Stevenskii:
I agree that there are way too many people trying to take claim to a ROM that they didn't actually "develop" but I mean, I understand why some people want to post their "edited ROMs." Ultimately, I think that they should post the changes, and how to do them, in the ROM thread that they essentially copied and leave it at that. I will definitely be reporting the ones that are just blatantly stealing.

This should be in the CDMA section
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] negamann303:
I have it here due to the fact that the kitchen packages are for ALL Devices, All that needs replaced is OEMDrivers. And of course Carriers need to be added.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] g0ldb3rg:
Shame it's on CDMA only, it looks great

though i have to agree with the other fellow, this should be in CDMA section since someone might get confused.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] negamann303:
If someone with gsm was willing to test, I would be willing to gsm kitchen as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] g0ldb3rg:
i think you'll find what you need, just get the first gsm rom done and upload them, we really need more developers for rhodium roms :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] negamann303:
Ok this is my first GSM test.

Using T-mobile OEMDrivers and OperatorPkg .rgu

Did some reg editing to remove cdma only stuff

This test is basically to see if the rom boots correctly and works as expected.

No provisioning and no keyboard kmap included yet

If you have a provisioning cab and it doesn't install successfully, send me a link to it and I will fix it for you.

I will start this test with the easier Rom

Kitchen Rom - WP7 - GSM_Test_v1.rar
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnhale:
How is this coming along for you??? curious how its running ...I would like to help test it out.

johnhale
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] negamann303:
I haven't had any replies. A few downloads though. We will see in time I guess.

Here's another version while I wait haha

Kitchen Rom - WP7 - GSM_Test_v2

Fixed some more GSM related stuff.

I highly doubt this will hurt a GSM phone. feel free to try

Also I'm planning for a GSM TP2 for this project. So in time I will have one :) For now, I'll just play
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] janblok:
i tryed the test V2 on a gsm it won't start again it is frozen on a white screen

can anybody help me whit this a can connect whit the pc anymore
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] negamann303:
so did it boot at all?

Just hold the vol down key and reset button at the same time until you see a tri-color screen( take your back cover off for this). then flash something else for now. I'll keep working on it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] 1milenia:
shouldnt this be in the cdma section

this is a gsm section
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnhale:
he's trying to get it working on GSM now,might need a little work here but it looks nice in PPCG.

can't wait.....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] 1milenia:
go for it

if he can do it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] negamann303:
Thanks! I can't wait to get my project phone :)

Figured out that the OEMDrivers didn't module correctly when I dumped the rom. Hence the white screen. Also added a new xip from the t-mobile dump I have :) I think this rom will blow my cdma roms away :) which btw are freaking lightning
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] negamann303:
Ok I updated and fixed the OEMDrivers, cleaned and oprimized the XIP, and updated d3d drivers. This one should boot *Fingers Crossed*

Kitchen Rom - WP7 - GSM_Test_v3
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnhale:
I just got passed the 1st reset and this looks GREAT...good job man
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] negamann303:
That is AWESOME news! Thank you VERY MUCH for testing!

Now on to provisioning, and whatever issues come across
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnhale:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
What do you want to achieve exactly? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] 1milenia:
so that when i hit contacts my list of contacts comes up

then click on the friend i want to send the mms picture to then send
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] negamann303:
Wow thanks for the comments!

1. Rom name can possibly be worked on. I might just do it only for you guys.

2. I'll go ahead and leave boot screens out. I got used to adding them, almost instinct-like

3. The volume icon would be HTCVolumeControl.dll

This cab should set it back to default: HTCVolumeDefault.cab

4. I currently don't even own a gsm device so I can't test like I did with cdma. I'll just leave it stock and let you guys color it :)

5,13. That cab you left in the previous message is 'Other' Carrier when provisioning. Just added your agps setting to it as well :)

6. Yeah I renamed Total Commander To replace File Explorer. Users would ask where the file explorer was because I removed the original link. So I just renamed it so save a couple posts.

7. Now for marketplace and Tellme, When they update, They will automatically put a shortcut to Start Menu/Programs so I find moving those pointless. However I can move alarms. No Idea where Sim Services Came from... Something you installed?

8,9. Fixed Xtask(Cdma users wanted that setting disabled)

I used to have the mem info far left, got complaints cause the start and app name text got in the way.

What's your reg set at? this is Stock:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\XTask]
"MemPos"=dword:00000092

10. I rely heavily on S2U2. It's the only lock-screen I've ever had that doesn't make phone calls in my pocket. I'll just leave it where it's at for new users.

12. Internet explorer at boot is news to me. strange. I'll look into it

14. Thanks for those utilities. I used to have one, no idea when it left me or why.

16. I'll add that folder for you

18. Chome(Titanium) is left out of all roms, mainly because I was planning on releasing a plain titanium rom.

22. I'll get some default tab icons cabbed up soon

23. Changed those two settings.

Thanks very much for taking the time to give notes/opinions. That's payment enough. I don't take money from strangers haha

[QUOTE=Joe Bleau;3- On first boot in the XDA_UC window, one can see a custom volume icon over the default taskbar icon. Could you tell me how to get rid of it? I ran a cab to get back the default WM taskbar but that one does not want to go.

maybe this will help with the volume icon

go to your favorite editor and go to

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\Volumeoverlay_LoadIconFromResDLL_0

the value should be Zero, hope this helps;)

Re: Volume Taskbar Icon back to OEM & SMS/MMS Contacts

Thanks, I did not know which files it was & your cab fixed it. :cool:

I want to take back half of what I wrote above about the gray scale icons on the slider & Start menu (#22). I come from a bloated & popular ROM that looks like an Hawaiian shirt compared to the clean, formal & subdued tenue de soirée look of yours and now appreciate the slider bar & elegant Start menu. This said, maybe the big icon overlaying Home when using the slider could be in color?

Thanks for the pointer, it could be useful if one has problems removing a custom taskbar. In this ROM, the value was indeed set to 0.

*****

SMS/MMS Contacts

Are you using the HTC messaging app? If so, just tap in the To: empty box, type a letter or 2 to select the contact or when the popup appears tap & drag to see more contacts. Note that you can add more recipients by typing again after the first one in said box.

Or are you starting from Home > Contacts and when clicking on a contact to expand you don't see "Send Message"? Which ROM flavor are you using? :confused:

Mod: Comm Manager 11 Buttons Cab - Wireless Controls Tab Tweak

I wanted to add an 8th. button to the ROM's default Comm Manager's Wireless Controls tab because I was missing the 3G toggle I had in an other ROM & ended up adding 4 instead & reordering the cooked ones a little bit. I tested all on my Tilt 2 (Rhodium) running the Nega GSM Kitchen Rom - Sense - 1.1 except the IP Phone thing that I did not tried yet, cabbed it & attached below with also the registry tweaks .txt in case someone wants to use different apps when the switch are toggled or when you do a tap & hold on the text.

I took me about 2 hours to put together as I new nothing on the subject & started with andrew-in-woking's 2009 thread: [MOD] Extended Comm Manager Release 1.1 (with some work still to do) & extracted the 3G & Internet Sharing icons then found bnm7bnm's Colored HTC Comm Manager tab + 11 Buttons thread & tried the cab but the Bluetooth switch did not work and the icons & red sliders were not in the spirit of this ROM. So I took part of his registry edits & turned to grayscale his ActiveSync & IP Phone icons.

How to install:

Download CommManager_11Buttons JB.cab & copy to memory card.

Important: stop the Comm Manager service with XTask > right side arrow > Other > Processes OR use Start > Task Manager > Processes.

Install cab with XTask > Taskman OR use Total Commander (a.k.a. "File Explorer" in Start > Productivity).

Restart the phone: Et voilà!

Test Comm Manager, report here & hit that Thanks button. Or send me $20 if you prefer because it's too much effort for you. :D

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] negamann303:

Power/Display brightness settings on the WP7 themed ROM?

I've been using Nega's Windows Phone 7 themed ROM for a couple of days and it's really good. It seems to be fast and stable. I like the theme too, a nice refresh from seeing the same old windows mobile/CE interface for like 8-10 years.

Does anyone know how to access the display brightness controls on this ROM? I've searched all pages on this theme I can go to but I can't find it. Can't find the Power Options page too.

Plus, I couldn't get SMS sending to work even after trying all fixes; maybe I'll try changing settings manually later tonight to see if it works. Also, the In-Call recorder program does not work for me.

Re: Can't send SMS Fix, Brightness, ZoomBarPlus & In-Call recorder

Start > Tools > Provision Device and choose Other if you don't use AT&T or T-Mobile. BTW this tool should be in Start > Settings > Connections instead IMO.

Or run HTC Connection Setup for Pocket PC v3.1 CAB posted previously.

Yes, you can "clicking on the taskbar {left side} brings up a list where you can find the power/backlight settings button" with ZoomBarPlus which brings you directly to the Battery & Backlight tab.

@ chef: the Volume icon shortcut in Zoombar does not work.

Dunno about In-Call recorder, I have been using since a while the reliable ACR – Auto Call Recorder that can be set to automatically record in or out calls, etc.

Re: Backlight Tab Slider Missing? Screen Capture App

In GSM Kitchen Rom - Sense - 1.1 the Backlight tab is normal, with a slider under On Battery Power:

Are you sure you did not installed another app or made some tweak that messed it up? :confused: I doubt that the Home Win Phone 7 U.I. changes anything to the Backlight tab.

Instead of using an external camera, try the free XDA Whip2Snap app to make the screen captures & resize them to 40 to 60% so they don't take too much space in the threads. Nice app, you can choose the file type, naming prefix & save to memory card if you wish. It should be cooked in the ROM IMO.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] danny_extremex:
Haha yeah I had typed screenshot but I found that the ROM was stock and I was too lazy to download anything LOL as I was gonna flash back to my older ROM :P so I just whipped the camera out and took a picture.

No I didn't install anything else. Ahh now I get it. I flashed the WP7 ROM last night, used PIM Backup to load my contacts and was testing out the SPB TV app. It had built-in brightness controls in it and I had reduced the brightness all the way down in the app; exited it and then this happened (the slider disappeared). I didn't install anything on this ROM, no tweaks anything. Tried a soft-reset but didn't hard-reset. Maybe SPB's video brightness control messed up the WinMo slider :)

Re: ATT & SMS

That cab works for hundreds of people so you should look at an other culprit maybe...

Did you format the phone with the Task29 included in Nega's flashing tool before flashing a new ROM?

I always clean my phone before installing an other ROM. It takes only 2 minutes & I like to play it safe as years of using Windows thought me the value of a clean install on a formated disk. :rolleyes:

You could call AT&T & a tech could walk you through the SMS settings.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mumboender:
The cab works for me on other roms...and actually it works for me with version 1 (not 1.1). So not sure what the problem is. I just flashed back to version 1, and instead of using another provisioning cab I used the energy one and it worked fine.

I always task 29 before flashing so it was a totally clean ROM. I usually don't hard reset, but I did it as a precaution just to see and I did NOT install anything else. Still didn't work with version 1.1. BTW I did not install ANYTHING other than the Energy cab.

Oh well version 1.0 works. I will just wait and see for the next update.

I'm going to give this very interesting ROM [GSM Kitchen Rom - Sense - 1.1] a try, but would like to confirm something w/ its veteran users.

I'll task-29 my TMobile HTC Touch Pro 2 (GSM) phone, but am used to flashing ROMs via the Rhodium_SoftwareUpgrade tool and a *.nbh (which contains the actual ROM).

The GSM Kitchen Rom - Sense - 1.1 is an *.exe. Does that mean that the Rhodium_SoftwareUpgrade, or its equivalent tool, is built into the exe?

So: 1) task29 the phone 2) have phone connected via USB to desktop 3) click on the GSM Kitchen Rom - Sense - 1.1.exe (no desktop screen saving, other running apps, etc)

Have I got that right?
