Prophet for Navigation System (only)

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!

you need to post screenshot since i don't have 91x..
but then text size is probably personal preference/
there is no 128dpi in the rom, so if it looks big it is microsoft design for the new build (compare to 218xx) to make it more finger friendly

the X should either close it or hide in background depend on whether showcase is working. (Montecristo's rom does not have wktask i believe so you won't able to notice whether an app is closed or hided unless you open task manager)
for gray page, you need to show me screenshot or give me a link let me try on 61x. I have no problem with chinese for my 61x after adding font and registry but then the setup is a bit difference since the 91x rom is based on Montecristo's.

excellent alternative rom
thanks keyx for re-build the montecristo rom... very excited for sip keyboard fixed.
no problems so far with test2 rom, great job
could you add software from your rom into this rom? maybe we will have much choice of programs from you or from monte..

THX keyx......i can use chinese sip now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi keyx
im still trying 2 work out some things
i have add fix in my heb thread
as 4 the IE when i add only fonts it works but when using RTL support i have issues (the id of heb is 1037 and 4 eng it is 1033 when switching settings i have some issues ) working on it
as 4 font size the popup menus are big but good 4 the use of a finger so it will stay as is
on my device
it can be fixed from reg ,but i will try 2 get into it also ...4 other users
4 now tnx a lot your rom is very good and fast

it is possible that you may need _CS(ComplesScript support package) as listed here
i.e
Webview_CS - IE 6on6 RenderCore component for OS use, arabic - replaces Webview
Riched20_CS - Rich HTML Editor support - Arabic builds - replaces Riched20
may be i will try build one with those packages later if you still can't manage to fix it yourelf

Testing 28011 alternative 6.5.x for 910c/912c/914c
I installed and tested the re-build rom and I must say it works very well, with the other montecrito rom could not have the garmin software and Windows Live Messenger running simultaneously because the garmin was abruptly aborted, with this rom it does not, both work perfectly so silmuntanes. Although there are some menus that appear at 128 dpi but I guess that finally was resolved by Microsoft in the upcoming version, everything else works perfect.
Thanks for this rom alternative. Good job keyx !!!!

how do i get this packages nd do u know how 2 install them?
tnx

you can probably find them in the rollup package by da-g
however i believe you need to cook them into rom so basically you need to use the kitchen replace appropraite folders with those and cook again

found this post but didnt see any heb...
im downloading the all pack 2 check if there will be something
anyway we do have heb support that u can buy so there must be also a solution without cooking the rom
but it will be great 2 have one rom with heb support (RTL) in it
will keep u updated

no heb resources files (i.e heb user interface) but in the rollup there are those complex script support packages.
i don't know if you can make it work without cooking, you can always try recmod the module into dll and use quickcab to make a cab to put them in windows directory

I believe you need to cook in the following 2 packages:
Enterprise - IPSec, l2TP and Winscard support?

I kinda doubt you need FWUPDATE because I think it is for image update system...anyhow you can find them here or extract them from the origina 28011 flash.dio posted by people in the da-g thread

Debranding from Orange UK

Hi what are the easiest ways to debrand my Touch HD from orange???
Can I do anything through registry settings?
Thanks...

Do you mean the boot screen (may say HTC innovation or similar) or a black loading screen?
In the Windows directory of your device, look for welcomehead.96.png. This is what is displayed as the OS is loaded, and to change it, simply replace the file with another 320 x 320 pixel png.

hI i found that and others ut is there not any other orange applications that will be in there that aren't needed? Or is flashing rom only option?

I think flashing to a custom ROM will be your best bet as this will unlock it allowing you to flash to any ROM of your choice depending on your needs. For information on how to do this, please see this link.

Also running a Orange Touch HD, reflashed and now happy !!
I'm running a very nice rom from Laurentius26. I've tried various ones, all created with a lot of hard work I'm sure and I wouldn't know where to start to create one.
The difference with this one I find is that instead of just changing alot of things on every release, this rom does actually appear to have been debugged and is a very stable release. The only problem I have found is that when you adjust the volume, sometimes it overlays the volume slider over the home screen when it should be just a black back ground. a quick power off and back on and all is sorted.
Anyway, reflash will get rid of the Orange add ons which IMHO don't do alot !
All the best Phil

Sense porting to 6.5.3

Hi all, noobie cook here. I tried updating to 6.5.3 on my HD2 but found that because the menu is now at the bottom of the screen the HTC Sense interface is out of alignment. There is now a gap between the top bar and the Sense interface.
I found that the HTC volume controller doesn't work either.
Could you guys please tell me how to fix this as I am sure a lot of cooks have managed to fix it (looking at the existing custom ROMs available here).
thanks in advance

In case you're using an older manila you get this issue. To correct it try to search for position fix. You will find several methots to fix it, but I'd suggest to use one of the latest (TMOUS) manila. They're already compatible with wm 6.5.x.

Many thanks for your quick reply Tistitus. Do you know if there is a list of the main Manila folders in EXT so that I can use the TMOUS one? I mean the one similar to the T-Mo UK version ie. minus the doc viewer which I don't like/need but takes a lot of space.
thanks

I Found that if you download sense 2_5_2016 WVGA LOC - you can download from this site, and drop the packages into the Ext packages folder it resolves the issue.

[Q] Multilanguage rom making and some starter questions.

I'm making a rom for my HTC Touch2/mega. My currently installed rom is stock rom. Which is comes with my phone and it has no official version of it here. It's in Turkish language and 6,5 but I want to make it 6.5.5 So I'm trying to use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445
(And I don't wan't to lose the original room. Without HardSPL Can't I backup it right?)
And my rom is customized for an operator. So I want to build it in Turkish language. I have the mui's but I'm not sure they will work on 6.5.5 and I wan't to make it multilanguge. Because as default it's asking to me which language I wan't to use. I wan't to add this option too.
But if I try to build a new rom based on my current rom the operator customizations is continues? Like I can't use hdspa/3g with another operator (phone keeps crashing).
And
216xx = HTC htc
217xx = COM1, continuing dev of 6.5.0.1 - 6.5.0.40
218xx = COM2, continuing dev of 6.5.0.50
219xx = MD, feature test branch, pretty much dead now. (unstable features are added here, this tree is based on COM1, so older base OS code, but the UI/UX code is newer)
22xxx = SEMC sony ericsson
*230xx = COM3, continuing development
*234xx = COM4, appears to be abandoned.
*235xx = COM5, more GUI changes here. New Outlook Interface.
*236xx = LG Electronics Branch
*24xxx = Possible HTC branch
*25xxx = SEMC - Sony Ericsson
*280xx, 282xx = WMD. This is a continuation of com3 from 23090. Most of the changes appear to be with IE
29xxx - Unknown
235xx has threaded email
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is there something matter If I choose not the Htc one's like 29xxx?
And Since Microsoft close the my phone Is there any point of keeping it in rom?
And Can I add video calling feature to my Mega with that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425937&highlight=video
WinCENLS_WWE and what is exactly doing? Is that neccessary for me? WWE means World Wide Edition?
Thanks

No answers? Guys please, I'm waiting for your anwers to cook my rom.

You touched several different problems.
Unfortunately each 6.5.x build will demand reviewing of most of the mui files. I know by myself. I used to build PLK versions of Jackos' ROMs and he has 2 series of ROMs (with 6.5 and 6.5.3 builds).
So you have to choose a build basing on information about it's stability/reliability, not ability to work with Turkish .muis. Either way you will need to mod some of them.
Second problem is to dump an existing ROM which I honestly know nothing about. But if it's a stock ROM, you should be able to find it somewhere anyway. By the information that you have to choose a language at first startup I think that it was not an official Turkish ROM, but the base for the device was WWE (World Wide English) and then there was a mod added by sunnysoft (http://firma.sunnysoft.cz/htc/). That's the same way it is done with Rhodium. We have no official Polish ROM, but only a sunnysoft plugin that enables the language choosing after a HR.
You can find there the newest WWE ROM and the language localization pack that you need.
Sooo I think what you should look for is an official WWE ROM (the version number you should have in Start -> Settings -> System -> Device information -> Software information) and a Sunnysoft mod with a set of different language.
Another problem is that you want to be able to choose a language after a HR. I don't recommend this method because:
- the way it is done by Sunnysoft is that they add a cab file with necessary modifications to a rom and run it after a HR by means of a .lua file or config.txt. The cab file script first asks the user for the language and then installs another cab according to the choosen language.
That means the resource files (and any other that must be added to the ROM) are just injected into the system as files. They do not delete the original english files from the ROM, but just add their own. Besides many of the .mui files (at least the ones from Base_Lang_0xxx package) should be placed as modules not files because otherwise they compromise the memory management.
So what I learned is that you should make as much changes to the ROM via the kitchen and not by a .cab file.
Furthermore the cab file is not able to make all the system changes. I know because I used to produce special PLK .cab files for Polish users of Rhodium. Mainly because we do not have a good Polish ROM and the Sunnysoft version had many bugs.
And there are a lot more changes that it's better to do during cooking than on the "real ROM".
As for myphone of course you can throw it out. It's not necessary anymore.

When I copy changelanguage.exe from my device to computer I was saw Sunnysoft. So like you said there is no official rom in Turkish. And yes it really has so much bug/mistranslates.
Actually I don't want big changes in my rom. I just want update it to 6.5.x
And yes really thanks.
My rom is 1.30.xxx.x but There was several updates on HTC support page so I installed them. Maybe they are updated the version. Should I install them to rom when I building it? Or they will just gone when I install 6.5.x 29xxx
And It seems It will be really hard to translate it to Turkish. Could you teach me? Or maybe not. f it comes too hard to me Maybe we won't be able to 6.5.x Turkish language. Whatever. I wan't to update my phone to 6.5.x without change much.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578915
And there is an wwe edition it says but when i download it there is nothing called with wwe. so I download the sunnysofts version.

Well, I'm afraid you asking too advanced questions for me.
I never changed the build of the ROM. I only developed and adjusted language files to the ROM cooked by someone else (in my case Jackos and Seem_ZA).
That's why I know that even the .mui files are different among different builds.
The "Latest Official ROM" in the thread you provided is 1.28.401.4, and you write that your ROM is 1.30, so I guess you should take the one from Sunnysoft, dump it and then before you try to translate it, try to change the build. You will se if it is stable, if everything works, and then you will decide if you should include all the fixes HTC provided or not.
Remember - the 6.5.x builds are not "official" (except for some phones offered on Chinese market). Furthermore they are not made by HTC as well, so it's rather not likely that they have their fixes. On the other hand you should look into the fixes and try to judge by what they contain. I'm definitely not advanced ehough to help on it.
But I feel that for you the most important matter is read about cooking so that you know what to do and you know what you should change.
Dump the official ROM (from sunnysoft page) using any kitchen system, look into it, try to understand what parts it is made of. There are some tutorials floating over xda like "basics of ROM cooking" or "Kitchen and utensils for cooks" etc. Changing build is a bit complicated task. You will probably not cook a good&stable ROM without knowing the basics.
On the other hand perhaps you will find a good 6.5.x cooked ROM for Mega for which the chef published his kitchen. Then most of the hard work is done, because you don't need to mess up with build changing, testing performance, optimising XIP and many other tasks.
Then you can start thinking of changing the kitchen to compile a Turkish ROM.

Yes. I get it. So I'm starting build a new rom then if it's works good and stable I will try the translate it. And I will come to you for ask your help. And I know they are not official. If they were I don't even think about the upgrade it Thank you very much

If about language modification I can say that I'm quite "trained", but if about ROM cooking... I have very basic problems (look at my 2 questions on the top of Chef central). So I'm sure you need someone much more experienced to start your cooking adventure. Unfortunately WinMo is slowly dying, so almost nobody looks over here anymore...
