I`m searching for a very small ROM for my German XDA mini.
As I have a new phone now i would use my Magician only for Navi with a bluetooth gps-receiver so I need a ROM only with WM2003, Bluetooth and a Tool to see the actual Power-Status on the Home-Screen.
I also would make the minimal Settings, for Example PowerSave.
Not needed are all the Mobile Office and GSM Features.
It`s not absolutely needed that the ROM is in German and I hope there is anyone who can help me.
thx & greatz,

Just install a German 1.13 ROM without an Extended ROM. I would suggest a 1.13 ROM with Bigstorage since you get more free RAM.
Check this sticky on how to upgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=247994

I think this would be a solution to get more free ram, but with this there are still too much tools (mobile office, ...) on the magician I`ll never need.
So is there also another solution (ROM) with the minimum I need ?
I think that you're a little bit confused...all tools are installed via Extended ROM. There's no "mobile office" or any other tool on the Windows Mobile 2003 SE himself, except the Operating system tools (which you shouldn't remove). So, unless you want to start removing the system files (alarm clock, battery manager, wallpapers, etc) there's not much else what you can strip out from a standard ROM...
I think that you should start reading the link that i pointed you...
Q: Why do you need to strip out everything? Ain't 57mb enough for storing and running your Navi program
If it ain't enough then you should consider buying a new pda like the TYTYN II...(256mb rom; 128 ram).

Hi,
I want to use my Prophet as Navigation system only (no GSM, no programs, no multimedia). The Propher connects with to an external GPS-Receiver via Bluetooth. Navigation Software is I-Go. I have used it many times with good results.
In order to make the software work faster (smoother) and to use as little as possible battery power i want to have a fast, clean, and stable rom installed.
Which of all those roms out there is appropriate? I guess the memory pool is very important here? Are there any ready-made Roms suitable for this task or should i cook a new one? Which rom should be the base one? I guess i should look for a WM5-rom? Or is WM6 faster?
Thanks in advance!
XDA Neo G4. Cid locked.
OK, I see I asked to many questions at the same time
So I'll try to summarize:
Is it worth to change the Qtek_NVID WM5 ROM from "Step 1" in order to gain more free memory/speed...
...or everything, not necessary for the operation system to function, is already"stripped away"?
Thanks!
which wm6/6.1 release is more stable?
Why not try them and see?
So many people come on here looking to be spoon fed...people will tolerate it up to a point, but then wont bother.
You really should try them yourself and test them...try reading through the relevant threads and see what people are saying about them.
they all are... tried and tested by many....
some have bugs(unsupported features)
and you can find all of them in this forum.
it only depends on what you install on them.
i hv tried all and think that the clean version of wm6.1(6.1.02 DVH) without Ramdisk is best cause it has both the netcf and office(excel+word) and also the mystrious theme for media player. All other version either hv the netcf or the office and the version without netcf requires the netcf to run their primary applictions (GettingStarted, calc, usb hdd, etc.) so u hv to loose ur 5mb to run them.
In clean version gettingStarted is removed to put office as it is more important.
So give it a chance u will find it worth.

i also like wm6.1 without ramdisk, but i'm confuse with the extrom they're talking about.

you can opt NOT to install extrom. just don't copy the folder (and its contents) to your storage card, so it won't install when you upgrade ROM's.
i'm not sure if you can copy all programs to the storage card, so you can put them back when you upgrade.
a) if you have exe files, then it is ok.
b) but if these programs came from cab files, then you can use the EXTROM to install these straightaway. or you can install them one by one
c) otherwise, you have to install them from your computer.
with respect to contacts and messages, this post is your answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1189061&postcount=1
i have pda2k, which has 128 ram and 64mb rom (accdg to gsmarena). is extrom already included in the 64mb rom? the xdaIIs has 96mb rom (44mb available).
the extrom folder from the sd has cab files which is to be installed automatically when you upgrade your rom, is that it?

Simple: The ones without any additional cruft, bling, or dancing monkeys added.
Remember - most if not all of these ROMs are based on the same fundamental base (barring the fakes, or hacks). It's generally only what the ROM chefs personally want to have added which makes the difference. And even those things can be 'fixed' or overwritten with installers/CABs.
I've had my philosophical 'rant' already ...

i think u should check the wiki first.
Storage(60)-Storage available (44)=Extendedrom(16)
so u dont hv 96mb its 60 mb only. and before upgrading do not forget to merge extended rom to available storage to get more space.
thanks for correcting me.
i also read about page pool, i think the ext rom is used for that, does it really improved performance?
how can i backup and reinstall my original rom?

I've tried many WM6 and WM6.1 but can't find one of the best. And
there are more to come. So help me find one of the most stable and best WM6 or WM6.1.
Thanks B4H.
Hello!
I actually cook wm6.1 rom for my HTC TOUch ( ELF)
I search an apps like NLite, in order to deleting in the rom directly, some windows apps, like calculator or other...
Is there any software ?
Thanks !!
i dont think that exist
maybe you have to unlock the rom memory and work on this portion of memory.
i think this is a little bit dangerous for stability.
bye
OK, thanks
I just recently got his phone and i was wondering What is a rom, what does it do and how do you get a new one. What would be the point of getting a new one?
I also was wondering if anybody had any great freeware that combined a bunch of programs into one. Im looking for a simple battery meter (im using LvmTopBat)
I need a program for AIM other than octro talk, I Also need one for threaded messaging. I was using Palm_threaded_SMS but it had some glitches on my phone. I was usuing Minimo but it seemed to freeze alot so does anybody know of any good tabbed browing web browsers? i also wanted a program to free up any unused memory on my phone. Is Oxios Memory anygood?
And if anybody has used UI Tweaker Could anyone explain to me what each selection so i know what im changing the color of. Thanks for any help i get.
Custom ROMs are usually a lot more stable and perform much better in different aspects. There are programs for almost anything, you just need to search for them

if you install the latest DCD rom 3.2.5 and radio 3.42.50... you will have threaded SMS. It also allows you to use the internal GPS. Go to the upgrades forum... and READ! The WIKI on how to is in my signature as well as links to the latest rom and radio. Good luck!

the wki how to link does not seem to work and i read a bit about this new rom and multiple people have said its slower than stock. also what is rev-a. does that have something to do with free tethering? sorry if this is a stupid question. Im just really new to all this.
also what is the differnce between the rom and the kitchen. I notice there are two downloads. if anybody has the time or can tell me how to do it real quick i would just like a step by step on how to install this rom. Do i need to do a hard reset?
The kitchen is used to cook the ROM. The ROM is what you install on the device. First install hardspl on the device and then run the ROM of your liking. After the flash, be sure to perform a hard reset.

This wiki... Titan Recent should explain it all. It is step by step. The only thing you may have to substitute... if it hasn't been updated is the correct files. IE... 3.42.50 radio... and 3.2.5 rom. The kitchen allows you to select different programs that DCD didn't include in the ROM. If you download the kitchen, you can leave it alone... run BuildNB.bat and just "Play" that... and it will work the same as the ROM that DCD made for everyone to use.

ok im stuck on the bootloader mode. after i updated to SPL-2.40.olipro i am stuck what do i do?!?
Which android or WM 6.5 rom for HTC Touch HD is the best for me to use? I mean, that it has everything working(Im thinking of using WM 6.5 for everyday use, and Android purely for apps and wifi (browsing, facebook, YT(optional), and maybe some music). I'm thinking of putting custom 6.5 rom in my HD. So, can some1 provide me with the best ROM out there and a tutorial to flashing it? I already know how to put Android on phone, just need a nice ROM.It would be great if you could only copy/paste ROM threads. Thanks. And sorry if i violated something on website, but im fairly new, and cant really understand all those tutorials.
P.S. Is HD running WM 6.5 rom better than it running WM 6.1?
Thanks again guys, im really gratefull ^^
WM for battery life
Android is only running properly on SD card builds - so you can have both easily enough.
I like WM6.5 but some say that WM6.1 is faster overall.
Depends what you want.
My blackstone is my work mobile and I have WM6.5 EDGE SWIFT rom on it at the moment, works well - I just need basic functionality out of it really, but battery life is very useful!
I'd love an Android NAND rom on it sometime though
the EDGE rom thread has a tutorial link in it - but the general gist is probably for WM roms:
1) update with HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex (may be slightly different - check the tutorials first!)
2) download BlackstoneAdvancedRUU
3) find and download the rom you want, extract the .nbh and put it with the BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe
4) run BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe, task 29, run BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe again, task 28 and select your nbh file from the list
follow on screen instructions at all times.
you might want to flash the RADIO: HD_1.17.25.09.nbh too if you havent already got the latest radio...
Ok, i managed to somehow install WM 6.5 and its working well , got iGo on it, and some other apps. Now, which Android is the best for things i posted in my previous post?
(web browsing, music, apps) It doesn't need to have working camera, because i dont really use it, and if i needed it, i'd use it via WM 6.5.
P.S. is it possible to watch movies (.avi; .mkv; etc.) on WM 6.5 and Android?
P.P.S How to connect my phone to PC via WM and via Android?
P.P.P.S What's the status of Android Market's games and apps on Blackstone? Are they all working?
Thank you very much
