choose the 2003 Rom that suits you best - country etc.
add the programs that you want and cook a Rom to an .exe file.
Copy all your network settings down to paper.
Then run and install the new Rom and then replace all your settings.
It really is very straight forward I managed it and I am not overly technical.
Does anyone of any software how you can edit the graphics and any links to tutorials on how to do this.
I have just learnt how to update my own prophet with new windows mobile editions ...
I am now running Windows Mobile 6 Iphone Edition.
I would like to be able to edit the files used in this ROM or be able to create my own?
Can anyone help please ?
Maybe Cloudyfa could help? Or Maxniper ?
Cheers.

Do you have a suggestion for a WM5/6 theme as well?
Hello Guys
1. Does Itjes 6.5 ROM simply upgrade the 6.1 to 6.5 still giving me the option to add any other roms in there ( i.e TOUCH IT or perhaps even original)?
2.How can i revert back to 6.1?
i have other question but ill ask them i guess once people get interested in replying...
Thanks
Yes, U can. Because I have tried it
thanks for you response, but YES to which question.
If I understood everything right, you flash a new ROM, e.g. the 6.5 ROM, then you can do a hard reset and you'll still have the 6.5 ROM, if you don't like it, you can flash another ROM, e.g. the default ROM, then you're back at 6.1... there is in my eyes no difference between a custom 6.1 and a custom 6.5 ROM (beside the changes from 6.1 to 6.5 ) if you want to flash it back...
what i mean is.
windows 6.1 or 6.5 is the OS.
the ROM from what i understand is completely different from the OS. For example my xperia is Windows 6.1 (OS) with SE R2A(ROM). What i was wondering is if i flash to 6.5, which im still under the impression is basically a beta upgrade to the OS its self. Can i hypothetically upgrade to R3A rom or Touch IT v4.5 and such?
the ROM from what i understand is completely different from the OS.

nope you're wrong. the rom includes the os.
if you flash 6.5 rom you get win mobile 6.5 beta and other stuff packed inside the rom. if you flash touch-it (insert lame version number) you will get win mob 6.1 AND tochflo etc.
you should read the boards .... x1 rom development.... Before you flash anything to your X1 you should actually know what a rom and a flash is . Otherwise your device may be damaged or you loose personal data.
A rom is the Operating System (OS) packed with programms and tweaks the cook likes.
the rom can be compared to the hd image of a computer
which include the operating system and all other programs
you can't replace the rom without replacing the os
even if it's with another os of the same version
thanks a lot Bros'
I would just like to point out that a new ROM version does NOT mean it is a new OS version too.
A manufacturer may release a new ROM version to fix a problem (eg. fix the camera software) but it does NOT update or upgrade Windows Mobile at the same time.
The new upcoming X1 R3A ROM i think will still be Windows Mobile 6.1, NOT 6.5. However, there are a LOT of updates in the R3A ROM, including new panels, panel manager, new camera software (now with auto-flash YAY!!! and GPS YAY!!!) and improved speed and stability. This has NOTHING to do directly with the OS (although SE might have done some tuning to WM6.1).
Feel free to correct me if wrong
pls advise....

Yea it happens, I use outlook and Sync Center too, times when it told me that its a desktop error means that Sync software simply can't sync as original parameters had changed and don't match. Mine reason was when I was using tweaking apps to change things on X1 such as what the contacts are sort by (firs-last, last-first); email settings changed; same with calendar. So just keep them original or try to reestablish your partnership with Sync Center, works with me.

Well, considering you are new, I am not sure if I should go easy, as you should have recently just read the rules on posting on XDA.
But anyways, feel free to use the search feature, it is very useful.
For roms, go to the rom section, find and run DSIXDA's device_info.bat which will give you all your tech specs about your phone, and will enable you to find a rom. Read all the stickies as well, as these will inform you on what you need to do to be able to run a custom rom.
For themes, you can check the Windows Mobile Themes section. This will give you lots of ways to customise your phone.
Also, What was the shouting for, Caps Lock day was some time last week...
Performance wise, there is limit to what the elf can do, it is an aging device. But there are some overclock programs etc out there, and task managers to help keep your ram free, some roms come with a camera hack which disables the camera to save about 3-4mb of ram, or there abouts.
Now its up to you to have a search, if you have any questions, make sure you post in the correct thread. Due to the age of the elf(in), it is highly likely someone else has already had the same issue or idea or query.
