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!

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!

I have searched before posting this.
What I want to do is to reload Winmobile 5 onto my TyTN WITHOUT the built-in apps like calendar, word, etc also being loaded in. I would like to load up the phone app but not anything else.
Can this be done please? If so how?
Thanks

I'm not an expert...but think you could try to cook your own ROM; modify the existing WM5 ROM you have and remove all the things you dont want to be there....
I don't know if the existing tools posted in the forum could also be used to modify a WM5 ROM...but could give it a try if you want.

Mablan,
I was hoping it was a rather more simple process, such as using a special sequence of the bootloader to do this, rather than have to cook ROMS. Appreciate the thought though.
Anyone else able to throw some light on this question?
Thanks
WB

I am afraid most of the programmes are part of the operating system and you will not find a rom here customised to your specs, the last poster was right if you want a stripped out rom to your specs you had better get cooking that is the only way. Look on the Wiki under Hermes for the info you need if you are into D.I.Y.
Guys,
Thanks for the info. Ah well, looks like I'm either off to find a cooked ROM or I live with what I have got.
Cheers

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 everyone i had the touch it 2.3 rom in my t-mobile wing. I like it for a while because of the cube But i see no point of it SO I SWITCH back to its original t-mobile rom. I search around for simple roms and i found PDAVIET.. I dont really know much about it but i know its a 3rd party rom.. The only things is that i cannot find one that doesnt have the cube in it. Any suggestion guys!
You could make your own its sorta fun if you follow the guideline. I Tried them all and decided I just wanted a trimmed stock rom. I removed the VoiceCommander and My5Fave and a few other things. Applied a the 4mb pagefile mod and I'm very happy. Don't get me wrong all the popular ROM's are extremely well built and highly functional. But I like my system simple and not cluttered with more than I use. I just backup my favorite cab files as Read Only on my memory card and install them as I need them.
PDAViet has the cube...
Ok, I have a solution for you. Try Open Touch here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347057
There are two versions (with and without cube) and both are very nice, easy and simple install, nice interface, no big issues to worry about. It is based on ITJE's 2.3 ROM, which in turn I believe is the same a stock ROM, only modified! Good luck.
I'm looking for clean WM 6.1 ROM - i.e. no 3-rd party applications included - just as it is being shipped.
I want to customize it myself.
Hi osavioro,
I am working in a clean rom WM6.1, however it is half difficult to obtain aid this way…. it would be made use to cooperate?
I am constructing one based in the ROM of the SDK of the MS…
I'd love a clean install as well. I appreciate all the work the cookers do, but every 6.1 ROM has something I'd like to remove but can't. Unfortunately I don't have the skills to cook a vanilla ROM for myself.
I just use my Trinity for calender, contacts, phone and GPS navigation.
yeah me too

me too You can count me in guys. I would like to help to produce a clean 6.1. I already have some attempts on 19206 and 19701 builds.
This is my current rom and I like it a lot is pretty clean and stable,I don't lose my email, wifi settings.....give it a shot.

I would help ... but unfortunately I do not understand a bit about cooking ROMs.
Even more unforunately is that I don't have any spare time for learning, although it is quite interesting.
I am working to only create a clean ROM - WM6.1 with drivers for the P3600. Already I tried to get aid through the forum however I was not answered. I am using my PDA for the tests. As soon as possible I will be publishing a ROM Beta for tests. If possible, still it would like aid in this process.
To generate the ROM I tried to disassemble some ROMs of the forum to understand, however its creators had placed some protections, thing that I find that he goes against the principles of the cooperation.
I placed some topics questioning on what I would have to make and was not taken care of. For the S200 I found a ROM clean (Korand 3,1 - thanks!!! ) how I could work and transform into what I wanted, already for the P3600 is difficult, the people they do not want to help nobody, they only want that I make a donation!
I understand "hard work" that it is to generate a ROM, but I find that the knowledge the respect could be shared.
Thanks for all!
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.
