I'm trying to find out the same thing. Hope someone can help.
Default_Backkeysound_RC10
Installs a MIDI file for Back Key
Default_Caller_ID_WWE_RC10
This is the Caller ID application (consumes memory, but necessary if you want pictures pop up when ppl call you)
Default_Delete_vdisk
Not sure about this one!
Default_imateV1.00.10
Installs the imate splash screen, plus some other imate visual customisations.
Default_JMM101257_wwe_1004
JAVA patch - Recomended to install
Default_KSE_Fax_v2.09_unremovable
TrueFax software, allowing you to send/recieve faxes - Consumes lots of memory.
Default_MMS_V2.0.0.16_WWE_1115
MMS patch. Without it MMS will not work properly!
Default_Patch_103_3
Not sure about this one. Name suggests it includes patches for the 1.03 ROM version. I would install it.
Default_Phonepad_WWE_RC10
IntelliPad software that allows you to search for names in the Phone app. I like this one.
Default_Smartdialing_WWE_RC11
Not sure about this one!
Default_Version_WWE_103143.sa
Not sure about this one either.
Help please!
How can I make visible the Extended ROM?
THX
Simple run \windows\loadvdisk.exe

What exactly is "back key"?
Just to complete:
Default_Delete_vdisk
Just makes the extended_rom invisible again.
Default_Patch_103_3
I've heard it updates the battery, radio and some other internals. Unless you have a problem I don't see the need - you can't shift this stuff from \windows so it will eat memory. Personally I'm just going to wait for the latest ROM update, then the above wll be out of date.
Default_Version_WWE_103143.sa
Updates some registry info, no practical effect that I know of.
Can't run LoadVDisk.exe
I can't run LoadVDisk.exe with my Mini, I can see the file but it won't run.
Is it locked ?
Or should I make changes with registry first ?
Thanks
Great thanks alot guys

You simply click on it! It doesn't display any message. Then you can access the extended_ROM...!!
Thanks guys great help. I personally did not install anything and my phone works still. Even without the patches. I will probably wait for rom update as well.

Hello XDA users....
I think you know it all, that the ROMkitchen is a fine application to get our device nearly perfect.
But the ROMkitchen is out of date. This means many applications aren´t not in the actual version. Therefore Auburnham and I thought to update the applications.
The problem is, that the amount of added applications to the kitchen is to big to make this happen by us two. Because of this problem I´m searching for some people, which wants to help.
Another problem is, that you need for this a device that haven´t got installed that piece of software. This means that when you want to help me with Phonext for example, you must have a device without any version of Phonext installed.
So, if you are going to help me make a snapshot of your device with the ssnap - Application.
Install the software.
Make again an Snapshot of your device with the ssnap - Application.
Send these two files to [email protected] with inforamtion about the program you have installed and the exact Version you have installed.
When I´ve got analyzed the two files i will reply to you with a wishlist of files that have been created on your device. After sending me the files, i can update the kitchen....
IF there are any quesions or anything else, feel free to contact me....
Regards
Stefan
Good Idea :
I'd be happy to contribute.
Tell me which application you want me to install and I'll do it provided that I find the procedure (that I've seen being posted elsewere in this forum).
NB : I'm using XDA I with a Frenchy 3.16 and be stuck with it :evil: ; so there is no chance for me to re-build a new a geniun 3.16 Rom again.
My XDA is all up and running.
I've overcome my Language FRA error message after purchasing a SD card reader and loading the ROM through the bootloader. 8)
Now, I'm about to install ttn 3 on my XDA. Do you want list it in your kitchen ?
What do you need exactly ?
I would be happpy to help. I am a regular user of your site and appreciate the effort that has been put into it.
I understand the effort needed to keep things working and up to date.
Pierre
I'm in!!
Just let me know what you need and when and I will maker every endevour to help.
Thanks for all you do

I don't want to make this any more complicated than it is, but for some programs, it just doesn't make any sense to install to the XDA memory. Most of the media players and "Misc" programs just take up too much unnecessary device memory when they would work just as well on the SD Card (if that's available).
The problem is that those huge programs require just a few small files to be placed on the device itself. So after installing a few of these types of programs, you've used up a lot of device memory from these small files, even though you installed the program to your SD Card.
Is there a way to alter the kitchen a bit to allow cooking of the necessary device files only, and allow the user to later install the program to the SD Card (being careful not to overwrite the files in ROM with files in RAM)?
For instance, with the TomTom program, if you start with a clean ROM and SD card, take a snapshot, then install the program to your SD card, then take another snapshot, you could determine what files need to be on the device, and what files don't need to be on the device, and allow users to either cook the entire program or just the necessary files in the ROM. (Note: This is a good example of a run-on sentence). Would this be a difficult feature to add to the kitchen?

Maybe the esiest Option is adding a new Select Point for the kitchen like "misc", "System Tools", "Phone" ....
This means having the programs double in the kitchen, but how cares.
I don't know exactly, but when you install a program to the SD-Card, could you select the part where to place it?
If yes, this could be a big problem. Many of the programs store the path in the registry.
If no, i could also provide a ZIP-file, where the rest of the programfiles are in, hust to unzip to the Storagecard.....

I believe this really depends on (1) how well the program was written, and (2) if you can install the program with CabInst (i.e. has a cab installation).
For example, I try to keep my SD Card organized and tidy so if I use CabInst I install the program to an appropriate folder on the SD Card. If I have to install the program from the desktop, I install the program to the SD Card root, then try to move the program to an appropriate folder and update the shortcut. Most of the time this works without even changing any registry entries, but sometimes it doesn't. Two examples from the above list of applications are AOL Instant Messenger 2.0 and Pocketmind PocketMusic 3.0. To function correctly, they both need to be in their original installation folders on the SD Card.
But perhaps the best solution would be to have an associated .zip file to go on the SD Card, as you suggested.
Shawn
Now the kitchen should be up 2 date again.
Only missing is PocketConsole and the Part "Software that needs to register"
So happy cooking and again Thx a lot to all users that helped me.....
Stefan
A Windows-way for cooking a ROM would be great for two reasons: 1) Don't hassle your server with lots of traffic and 2) Practical. Advanced users could cook a ROM without having a PC with Unix.
For example I tried cooking the Spanish version of the ROM and not all the programs I chose were installed and the worst thing is that the boot logo was just garbage, it was showing program code on the screen as a logo

Marton

Ok. Fixed the problem with the bootscreen.....
Tried also adding as much application, and all have been installed.
Can you tell me, what files / programs are missing?
No one else told me that there have been a problem wirth this ROM. I think it's because of the situation that most of the useres are using WM2003 ROMS....
You can also use the kitchen under "Windows" just have to set up a Cyguin environment on your system....
Also i didn't know how many Kitchen's are implemented by other users, but mine one is the only "official". You can't believe that everyone would be able to set it up.......
Stefan
Thanks Stefan!!!!!!
Now it seems to work but if EzWAP is selected, it throws a Log error when trying to cook...
Cheers,
Marton
P.S.: Do you know if a Spanish WM2003 exists?
Edit: This is the error:
Cannot fit files in given sections
Error splitting files
Just cooked a ROM... I selected the "Windows Mobile XDA" Boot Screen and now it is not garbage anymore but now it shows mirrored and upside down...
Any ideas?

Thanks for the response but I haven't had any success after several tries. I tried installing the Wizard unlock cab file and afterwards with Total Commander, I can reset the Read Only bit on all the files and copy the files to my SD card. However, I am unable to delete any files. They appear to be deleted but come back after a soft reset. I would like to especially get rid of all the operator settings files. The rest of the stuff like Skype, Anti Virus and Backgammon I can get rid of using Settings>Remove Programs.
Frank
Isn't "ROM" short for "read only memory"?
hi, I am using Buzz's unlocker for Wizard... it made the ExtROM visible but still it is read only
I need to find how can I delete and add files to it.
Any challenging minds out there?
Total commander does not work with the jamin in my case anyway.
Tried several time with no results.

Buzz,
Thanks for the great offer.
I can give you the clean reg but how can i get you the first part, bootloader thingie?
Regards
I have used the Wizard Extended ROM unlock program to unlock the ROM on my Prophet. I now have a copy of the Extended ROM on my SD Card. I'm not concerned about erasing the Extended ROM files, I just don't wan them installed, so I did a Hard Reset and just when it says that it will start installing the additional prorams in 3 seconds, I did a soft reset.
OK, now I have a Prophet without extended ROM. I can now install the stuff that I want.
Most of the cab files I've figured out, Does anyone know what the following extended ROM cabs do? This is from the latest Imate Jamin ROM.
Default_CAAVPPC_IMEI_2.6.77_range.CAB
Default_Imate_PPC_SA_V5.5.03.cab
Default_MP_Shortcut_MMS1_JAVA_VOICE_CV_051213.CAB
Default_PP_TSK.CAB
Default_PP_UAString.CAB
Default_PT_Signed_IconDll.sa.CAB
Default_PT_Signed_Patch_SD.sa.CAB
Thanks heaps,
Matterhorn
Default_CAAVPPC_IMEI_2.6.77_range.CAB is the anti-virus app which used to play havoc in slowing down the KJAM. Maybe this version is better but I uninstalled it using Remove Programs. About the rest I am not sure. At least you don't have Skype, backgammon and the Operator Settings files so I expect you will gain a fair amount.
Frank
you can use wince cab manager to see the content of the cab file.
Still nothing? Guess I will go the way of Matterhorn when I need to do a hard reset. Several others have not installed the Extended ROM at all and have reported significant speedup in the JAMin.
Frank
That would be me. I haven't installed one thing off the extended rom and my speed is really pretty good. You can see a video review at the link below to compare the m600 and the jamin (with no extended rom). Keep in mind I don't use mms, skype, antivirus anyway....so no big deal to leave off the ext rom. I also use adobe and don't need the clearview .pdf. Hope the video helps
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=849592
Thanks, Mike. I don't use the stuff either except MMS once in a while but can just as easily use email for that. I presume Voice Dial is in the Extended Rom but rather have MS VC anyway and things like Connection Manager, Messaging, etc., that I want are not in the Extended ROM so I should be fine.
Now to find time to do a hard reset and re-install my apps.
Frank
Everyone has diffrent issues, I was able to delete the files from there (verified by refreshing the dir, and I recieved no read only error) but I was unable to write files to it, which I thought was very strange, I am using APA_ext_rom_unlock.exe and it does NOT give me the success msg it acts like it hasnt even ran. I updated my ROM to teh test one that was floating auround 2.8.7 whatever, and I realized too late that aWizard has no way to reflash teh extended ROM so I am without all my Cingular apps and I have all the 2.8.7 Extended rom stuff with the 1.8 Cingular OS ROM which I reverted back to. Any suggestions how I can replace my extended ROM ?
any luck so far?
Hi guys,
Are we getting any hope/luck to unlock Ext ROM for JAMin/Prophet?
I don't know how you guys are doing it. I have tried several times to delete items in my extended rom using total commander, at least 10 times and the result is the same. After the hard reset all that was deleted was re-installed after the reset.
I have contacted TC a while ago, and have not heard anything, maybe they are working on it.
Just curious....as I'm new to this ext rom stuff....but why don't you just "not install" the ext rom. Then use gsfinder to install whichever .cabs you want? If any? Just curious as I may be missing something. :roll:

No, I think the end result would be pretty much the same. For me I would like an Extended ROM for the JAMin that includes exacty what I want installed - no Backgammon, AntiVirus, Smart Dialing, Skype and a single Operator Settings file for TMO USA. Then when I hard reset I don't have to mess with anything else, just let it go. I had my KJAM setup that way and I would like the JAMin to be the same. I would also be as close to an OEM install as I can get (without the junk) so I don't have to worry about proper default settings not being there because of some file I didn't install or installed in the wrong order. Having said all this and thinking about it more I am sure you would get to the same point doing your procedure and then installing the required .cab files in the proper order.
Now I have a question:
Wonder what would happen if I did a hard reset, then did the soft reset to stop the Ext ROM install, installed the required .cab files in order, soft reset and then restored from a Sprite BU file. Wonder would I be restoring any files that could cause problems due to an imcomplete ROM install? I guess I will have to try that first since I do hate to re-install a bunch of apps and especially have to re-enter all the reg codes.

Hola to all:
I need help. I have installed in my Qtek S200 the program SKINVODAFONE .
It has changed the format of screen of the telephone (menu to mark when we realize a call) and it has put it that of Vodafone.
I would like to change again the format of this screen to which it had in a principle, the standard format .
Thank you very much for your help and HAPPY YEAR!!!.
Try going to Start->Settings->System->Remove programs and uninstalling the program.
If that doesn't work you may need a hard reset, but then you will loose all you data.
Thanks levenum , but it already had tried it.
To do a hard-reset is the only thing that happens to me also, but what he would need to avoid the hard-reset is the program that installs the original screen or standard of the Qtek frees.
Certainly , I am not the only one interested in changing this screen to Qtek's original screen, in the Spanish forum also he has been interested.
One more thought:
There should be a Qtek extended ROM on the FTP. One of the cabs there should have the dialer installation.

On the FTP... excuse but that it is the FTP?
That you want to say, that should install the standard EXT-ROM? But then would it lose all the information and installed tricks, not?
FTP - File transfer protocol. Mainly describes the server on which XDA holds different version of ROM for HTC/QTEK devices.
And yes, you should install the standard EXT ROM. You need to do a full back up and then restore your data not to loose existing data. Your device will be wiped!!
I would strongly suggest to think twice before installing a new ROM if you are a novice.
Just my .02cts
Hold on just a minute.
No need for drastic measures yet.
This is the link to the FTP: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com
You can access it with IE or any other FTP capable browser or client.
User name: xda
Password: xda
You do not need to reinstall all of the ext ROM or format your device. All you need is to look for the cab file that installs the Qtek dialer (I assume Qtek ROMs do not use standard Win Mobile dialer, the ugly blue thing).
Copy this cab to your device and run it like a regular program installation.

You need to type it like this ftp://xda:[email protected] or select 'Log in as...' from the file menu.
You should really do a Google search and read up on how to use ftp.
I had quick look and there don't seem to be cabs in the prophet section, but look around, a cab from another devices, like wizard (don't remember it's Qtek name) should do, since this is just a dialer.

As far as i know the qteks use the ugly blue dialer (standard microsoft item + smartdialer)
Juan what exactly is wrong with your dialer - a screen shot would be helpful.
btw no need for caps in your title - it appears like your shouting
Hmm, well there is always ZenPhone, they have some nice skins...

Hi levenum - i think the vodaphone dialer has messed up the layout of his dialer - your tip it may work

That's what I figured from the posts too, so i guessed installing any 3rd party dialer should work.
Perhaps then if he uninstalled it the phone would default back to the 'ugly blue'

Again thank you for your help. I have been looking for some cab and have not located it.
Hi,
I noticed I don't like the extended rom feature (as far as I know it installs everything to the phone RAM).
Is there a program/way to have a group of cabs, automaticaly installed to my SD-card after a hard-reset?
btw. is there an easy way to make my own cab files ?
Thnx,
Bartus
Helo,
i a m like U !

The apparent consensus among folks who know more than I do including some folks who have written programs like "settings savior" and mortscripts to do automated cab installs is that you still have to process the cab "manually" if you want it to go to storage card..there is no automated method...
Hi all,
Sorry I've been away on a kind of post-graduation hiatus. I have a few remaining commitments this summer that will keep me busy, but I intend to update my released ROMs as follows:
1. Use latest OEM updates from HP's May 2009 official update.
2. WM6.1: update a few apps, remove a few, and switch .NET CF back to 2.0
3. WM6.5: update SYS to build 21725.
4. Scale back "motherload" packages to a standard release setup, "BR ROM"
I can't promise delivery times on this stuff, but if anybody has additional suggestions for the ROMs or new info, I'm happy to hear from them.
Thanks,
-Ben
thank you !!! waiting for your new rom !!!!
I am glad to see your post here.
I am looking forward to meeting new ROM.
hey welcome back, i wonder why you would switch .net cf to 2.0? any issue with .net cf 3.5?
Hi bro nice to see you back again. now our 9x series will rock actually bro its great if you use latest HP update with you own stuff. so basically u have to make something fast and stable. by including useful apps. like
task manager with corner icon on today for closing apps easily. and some other major stuff which is important. you can see some Roms stuff of HTC WIZARD or any other and then compare it with ur Roms. and u can make fully loaded roms as well as light versions as well. as u know ur the best cooker. so wish u good luck.
just try to fix some minor bugs in HP Roms for 9x..
Take care..
Regards
T_T what a touching moment~ god Ben is finally back to us^^
i just got wm reminder today says "the copy of your wm6.5 software is expiring with 30 days, on 1st of july"...... so is that means m$ is pushing us to flash new rom before july, lol~
so far, the 21500 rom seems quite stable on the device, so just keep everything cool~
one small question: how can make the VoiceCMD button back to working (not the software, just the button, i love to assign it as 'task manager')
so, thank you so much Ben in advance, take your time (one month should be enough)
i'll check this post frequently

Hi
im also one of the users that looks for the lightest rom
Anyway if I may suggest something I always wanted to do (maybe one day I will)
but you can be the first to do so
Mega light Rom
First I will explain something I used to call "HR installation"
On the 64mb ram devices I used to save memory (rom and ram) by installing all apps to storage card
then HR my device
and then for every installed app make a shortcut from the "storage card/program file/app-name.exe" to "windows/start menu/programs" (copy exe and paste "shortcut to…" )
any app you have/add in your rom will take device memory
most apps can work directly from storage card (not apps with plugins)
what I'm suggesting is for you to install all the apps you want to the card
then hr your device and make all exe shortcuts of the apps
Cook only the shortcuts into the rom
now you make your rom clean with no apps
the apps that must have plugins can be cooked into the rom or be given as a cab file
(most apps can be found as a cab on xda)
MS office
not all users use MS office on there WM device
MS has issued office 6.1 as an update that can be installed to the card
(I have the cab for wm5 devices)
So you can issue it as a cab only or using the "HR Installation"
But if you use the HR installation for office you must assign all doc/docx to this exe (by using this freeware
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-openwith-v0-1.html
or resco explorer)
What will happen?
when you issue your rom you will give the
1 the clean rom
2 the "program file" folder of your storage card
3 cabs folder
What will the user do?
1 install your rom
2 copy your "program file" folder into the storage card
3 tap on the shortcut he wants from the program screen
(If he doesn't tap on the shortcut it is as if he didn’t install)
This way you can add a lot of apps option but rom will be light and every user will decide what he wants only by tapping on the shortcut
This way of installing is a lot lighter then full installation
Can be improved
You can also add a link (ink) for the file explorer called "shortcuts manager " that will be located "windows/start menu/programs" and will point the file explorer directly to windows/start menu/programs
By tapping on "shortcuts manager" icon the user will be directly where unused shortcuts can be deleted
Such rom will be the lightest and I think the fastest
nice.. can't wait for the update.
well bro also u can use some latest apps in roms. like facebook windows live . some nice task manager. some other tweaking tools mostly used in other devices. so the best is to check some other devices rom postings to get more knowledge of apps and users requirements.
some battery fixes . some registry fixes and tweaking.
specially for most common uses like phone and sms or mms. which need perfection.
and best of luck. i know u will do great job. U ROCK
You do some great work around here. I've only been here for a short while with my 910c... but already your threads have been time and/or life savers...!
A suggestion - I don't know if it's possible, but there are a few registry tweaks around that help increase battery life on the 91x series (see other threads for info). It might be worth while to try and incorporate those into a ROM. I've already manually fixed mine... but a ROM that did it from the start would be golden!
Any news?
Any news on the new ROM?
July the 1st is approaching and I'm getting worried about having my Ipaq 914c blocked
Thanks again
