[19/10/09] TomAngel-ROM-GERMAN-WM6.5-23016 M2D+Titanium initial BETA!

Hi, all German Friends...
I'm proud to release my initial Beta of a German WM6.5 for our Polaris!
This is my first attempt to cook a Rom so if you love your Rom, don't use mine
For sure there are still many bugs and half translated apps, but I appologize for it.
I will correct it in further releases.
My Rom is based on gullums Kitchen with WWE 6.5, so I think it will not brick our device.
I only tested it by myself, so I can not guarantee for others.
It is really very BETA.
If someone is able to give some screenshots, feel free to add some
It is nearby like Kostas244.
I messed up 3g-Dialer, Windows live and facebook app.
I added custom PC-like Startup animation and Welcome, modified BootPackage 1.2 by Wajk.
Radio must be 1.59.xx.xx (1.59.46.12 recomended)
Dowload : deleted, too early beta!
PW : TomAngel
Thanks and Credits will follow...
Sorry, but Rom Version isn't 21016 but 23016

Hmm, no offense, I appreciate your efforts, but IMO it doesn't make too much
sense to release a language mixed up ROM before getting it fully translated.
However, I wish you best of luck with getting it to final stage.
Cheers, Olioaglio

Hi Olioaglio,
I think it is better to show, that someone is interested in releasing ROMs for the Polaris.
There are not many Devs left that release ROMs for our Device...
Android is nearby finished...
And all the others base on the same kitchen and build.
I am new in customizing ROMs, so all the beginning is difficult, and I want to do my best. Even there are 6.5 ROMs in German for nearby all the other devices, except our Polaris. And that's (Polaris) not as bad as it seems.
By the way,... I love your ROMs, I've tested every since Oct.2008.
Thank you for your great work, especially in releasing ROMs in my native language.
If you like to help me, it would be a great homor for me to get support by someone who really knows what he does.

Hi, I think that's right. I'm interested in learning how to develop ROMs with WM6.5 with the "new" Kitchen from Ervius/Bepe. In the past I developed some ROMs based on the old Polaris-Kitchen with WM 6.1. Cause I still have a good ROM based on WM6.1 I stopped developing new versions until now. Perhaps with WM6.5 I will restart developing. First I have to learn how to dump and how to build ROMs with the new kitchen stuff. Then the next step would be porting WM6.5 to language 0407 and then add some applications, Reg-Hacks etc.
You all know that's a long way for a lonesome cowboy. If there are many developers sharing knowledge it would be much easier.
Keep fighting...
Tom

Thanks
Thanks tomduke!
I think I did wrong releasing a ROM in so early beta.
But I'll keep on trying in a German 6.5 ROM, and in most times I finally succeed.
Nice to see that I am not alone... in whishing a translated 6.5 Polaris
Thank you

Hi TomAngel,
thank you for trying to build a german rom.
I´m searching so long for it. I hope you can handle it.
Dark Dragon

Every Cocker,**** a new Rom. I think, it´s the best, you translate a good WWE Rom for the first.
The Polaris is old and my pda goes to my wife when HTC HD2 is in the shop. And the last WM 6.1 Rom´s are realy good,fast and stable.
But when you **** a verygood WM6.5 German Rom for Polaris, you are TOP

hope still comming!

Development in process
Hi DreamCrasher,
the development is still in Process...
I've built a jointventure with an other user to get a working Rom.
But the Release will not come under my name... But follow the threat, and I will announce a Release here.
Be patient...

Well, I am waiting for this as well

German WM 6.5
Hi strowbowse,
nice to here...
Development is still in progress.
Up now there ist a woking Manilla from MEGA in Ger (with nearby all Cabs from Mega including new Camera), Opera 9.7 in German,
cooked in CorePlayer and TouchCommander, EzInput 2.1.
Thats it so far...
But at the moment there are still too many bugs for a Release.
But I'm working on it with an other User from here.
Additional the ROM needs a bunch of graphical costomization...
Hope you stay with us...

Hi, nice that you like it.
Home Weather works because of Mortscript, it's still a bug of Manila.
In the case of the Theme, we will release one or two alternative CABs of Manila Skins to better fit for the girls !
Release is near, eventually at the end of the next week.
Build will be 23016 or 23081, SteveP86 is working on it!!!

Hi,
why you did not move the start menu button to the bottom bar? I used several different Rom and most comfortable for me was that start menu button.
Greetz, Bugz

Realease comming ...
Hi all,
release is near...
SteveP86 and I will release this German 6.5 ROM tomorrow in the evening.
There are still some minor bugs, but the others WWE have too!
There will be a few post installation fixes for some of them.
But I think we did our work for all the others
Stay tuned, release will open a new threat, link will be posted here...
@bugzbunny : If you like to move the startbutton to the bottom feel free to move it. we like it as it is. everyone should decide for it's own.

Windows 6.5 is here - what's new?

If you haven't heard yet the new TD2 WM 6.5 ROM is available: http://htcpedia.com/news/official-topaz-wm6_5-rom-upgrades.html
I like to err on the side of caution with these things but I know some will be wanting to get upgraded asap. So what's new with the ROM especially with TF3D? I know you get weather on the home screen but does TF3d run deeper as with the new Leo/HD2? Also are there any performance issues?
EDIT: Official Official ROM now available from HTC: http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=728&news_id=310

you sure
when i checked about 5mins ago (after spending all day checking every hour on the hour) it still shows no new update available for the touch diamond 2 to 6.5

I have downloaded it. Will it work on a T-Mobile Compact V?

compact v
isnt that the pure?
i thought that came with 6.5 already, but i think it will but not sure as they are more or less the smae phone spec wise, but i dont know if the internals are configured the same

Ive noticed ive had to make a few changes to my TD2 Tools application for WM 6.5. Here are the changes:
Enlarge Start Menu is now redundant as WM 6.5 uses a full screen Start Menu and in turn, HTC has brought back the Programs Tab in manila and got it working properly.
Most other settings have remained unchanged.

Good to see this unoffcial release of the Offcial ROM .
Not sure the ROM will be available on Offcial HTC Support page

Uhm. I updated. Then I disabled Manila/Sense, to see the new Today-screen. I was led to believe it was supposed to be like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Well, it's not. It's excactly as the old one?
Even here on microsofts pages, they show that Today screen: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/choice-is-yours.mspx
And a google search for 6.5 screenshots, all show this new Todayscreen with the slidable list. Where is it?

So what version of Manilla comes in this 'Official' ROM. Do you think this is the final release? Does it feel bug free? I'd love to flash but am chock full until the weekend.....

I like the new WM6.5 today screen, but is there a way to use it and still use the HTC Calendar, HTC Cobtacts appliaction and so on. The Windows apps are just so uggly.

Im thinking of installing this as im running Duttys R6 atm, and its well laggy and its annoying me!
What version of Manila comes with this? And are any apps updated?

Is the memory card safe when you do this update or am I better off removing it?

I didn't remove the memorycard before updating and it worked fine.

Just done, with card out....so far pretty smooth. Even picked up on my Copilot install once i put memory card back in
Now how do I rename my phone......

I think the interface runs a bit slower than the 6.1 ROM. Entering the dialer or an e-mail takes slightly longer (the phone sort of draws the the application to the screen instead of it popping up immediately).
Also, the Sense/Manila slider at the bottom (the tabs/icons) is not as smooth as it used to be.
Do you agree or is it just me?

i dont feel right about the so called "official 6.5 ROM" from HTCPedia, if it is really an official ROM, why up until now there is no 6.5 update from the OFFICIAL HTC Site?
it seems to me that the claimed Official ROM in HTCPedia is just a ploy for everyone to try it and figure out the BUGS themselves(they can just ask for beta testers directly and not like this)....what a shame, then HTC Folks will redo it addressing the bugs/problems being reported from public.
HTC guys are surely monitoring all forum site to get the much needed bugs/problem information from the so called "Official 6.5 ROM".
for me, that so called Official 6.5 ROM from HTCPedia is not final yet but in beta still since most if not all who flashed it complains of some bugs and problems with the psuedo 6.5 Official ROM.
I guess i'll have to wait 'till it comes out of HTC Support Site to be sure.....if not,then 6.1 works well for me....
BEWARE and be prudent.........

I think that it is a bit slower after bootup. but runs smoother....

Yeah I'm not too impressed either. One example is the memory usage. After a reboot I have 49% RAM available, 30 minutes later I have 28%.
Will dfinately consider a cooked ROM to see if the chefs have managed to speed up the device.

This is strange.... What other apps have you installed??? I have installed my phone yesterday with the WWE 6.5 version... And now still have 67% free RAM. Instead of 51 with the 6.1 stock WWE rom....
I am Happy...

any idea when the official middle east and africa wwe rom might be available?

Battery Issues with ALL 6.5 ROMs

I have tried ALL 6.5 ROMs
but it seems these have issues with battery drain
- whatever the reason, I don't know -
Battery lasts ONLY half a day - that too standby
You can actually see the battery percentage %
decrease every two/three minutes
and NO other software installed after flashing
(I flash Stock ROM then flash Cooked ROM then
I HardReset 3 times - please keep in mind)
- BUT -
I install Stock ROM 6.1 Professional - NO ISSUES
I install Androkkid as alternate UI
on the Stock ROM 6.1 Professional - NO ISSUES
I install other softwares like TotalCommander and
QuickMenu, Nitrogen for music, plus a few games
yet NO ISSUES
Some of these are good ROMs - Fast & Stable -
but ONLY & ONLY this battery issue puts one off
Is it only me or are there others in the same boat

Dude.. Have You tried this one?
I recommend Build 21619
http://www.mediafire.com/?1ucukuzcohm
I've got no problem with my battery

Hello My Friend
I have not tried this one - I have only downloaded the latest
from this link the build 23620 - But I will try this as last attempt
I like lecamtran's D10 D11 D12 - all stable BUT the battery issue
Even the PhamQuang ROMs have this battery issue I experience
Let's see - tonight I will try this ROM with a fully charged battery
and get back to you tomorrow

Is the start menu button on this ROM
at the bottom or at the top???
I like start button at the bottom since
it is easier to operate the phone
But if start button is at the top - fine
as long as I get good battery life

may be u shoould try battery calibration

I will surely try this Battery Calibration
It seems to be a procedure worth following
once in a month or two months
But then why do 6.1 ROMs give more juice
than 6.5 ROMs - THAT is my issue -
6.1 ROMs give a 24 hour+ charge
6.5 ROMs give only 6-10 hours
There is surely something about these 6.5
ROMs that are causing more battery drain

Sorry dude - I tried this ROM too but the same story

Hi,
I've read all your posts that proves this forum is very fruitful and many members are here to help.
I don't know if someone shares me my opinion about unnecessary move to install 6.5 ROM. So far I've barely seen a good cooked ROM without major complaints like aaryaputra mentioned. I'm aware that it is good to change, but can't you use some shell software to change the look of your phone and stay happy?
It is just an opinion and frankly speaking, does the "start button" position deserve baring all bugs in the cooked version?
I use SPB mobile shell with the elegance pack, and it is adorable by all means. I know ROMs of new OS is very elegant even in functionality, but since the manufacturer himself doesn't provide an update (even with charge), I guess it is because of the expected degradation in performance.
Am I correct? Hope to see others opinion.

No offense to you my friend, i know you have been working day and night to make the roms stable and your contribution is unquestionable but do you think most of the users really care about IE 6 ?
All i can do right now is install Opera or other browser and call it a day, apart from that 6.1 is quiet capable OS and like i said SPB shell usually does the trick of making the OS as fancy as Apple (atleast that much i am satisfied)

There is always a counterpart of anything in this world so is here many really want ie6 and many dont, you know the real reason i upgraded my touch viva to wm 6.5 which i got newly was because of ie 6. And yes its true opera mobile is better (not 10 its slow compared to 9.7) but there are some particular site which will not open on opera or any browser in this world except ie thats why many commercial company still use ie. And about other things i like the look of wm 6.5.x i today just tried wm 6.1 again yeah to be honest it was fast but its gui and functionality is really worst. The same speedy rom i made with many tweaks etc for wm 6.5.3 latest build 23102 its as fast as wm 6.1 plus full features i love it... but again as you know i cant share that rom coz of that wifi bug. Since i do not need bluetooth so i removed bluetooth from my rom and now everything works but i think many do need that here. Anyways we had a nice discussion on this topic coz of this i resaw wm 6.1 and was successful in making much faster rom

See!!! you ditto my thoughts now.
1) You don't need WIFI and bluetooth, so you don't have it on your rom, but i cannot work without them, so i am sticking with Stock rom.
2) You like the functionality of WM: 6.5 so can't do without it. I have yet to find anyproblem with WM6.1 so no problems here.
Above mentioned points only prove that people here have different requirements of their phones, some people need lots of feature, so people need balanced and some people use it for only calling and messaging.

I'm quite happy with this discussion. I've been developing windows applications for 10 years, but can't deny that in mobile world, I'm an infant.
Besides the IE flash enabled browser, what are the most critical features that is not in 6.1?
Also is there any version of wm 6.5 that doesn't drain the battery? I'll be happy to accept recommendations.

No buddy you misunderstood me that wifi bug is only with the htc touch viva its not with any of the htc devices take elf which is almost same as opal but it has no problem but some people have solved it, iam unable so i removed just bluetooth others are working. Although i wish i had bluetooth too.
People need balanced one and calling i totally agree even i need but there is some prob while coooking thats why i dont share the rom which i use in my phone....got it? overall i can say that you can make wm 6.5 as faster as wm 6.1 or even better. Really beleive me i will try to make a video of how its working on my device its just lighting fast....

Also is there any version of wm 6.5 that doesn't drain the battery? I'll be happy to accept recommendations.

Beside IE 6 flash enabled browser wm 6.5 has some core upgrades and now we have 6.5.3.3 which which has more improvements. Wm 6.5 is more finger freindly, every thing just got more good like threaded email, more clearer fonts. And the best thing is it has widget support but right now we have very less widgets if you are interested you can develop some.
See i have attaches some images from build 23102, it has new font rendering feature.

Battery Drain
Hi There. I´ve been following the conversation and....
I have also changed my ROM from WM 6.1 to WM 6.5. I did it because I wanted a better shell without the neef of using SPBShell. I hope that I coud save memory and proccessor.
What did I get? Just the opposite. WM 6.5 has a lot of mem usage (6.1 averaged 40% and WM 6.5 60% without any application runnig) and I red thats the cause of battery drainning.
I tryed killing some mem proccesses with SKT Tools but it didnt work.
I thing I will change for 6.1 with a nice cooked ROM.

Okay with my experience till now i tell you the cause and solution of battery problem
1. Battery drains quickly due to more usage of resources, in wm 6.1 there is less resource to be used, no graphics that requires more ram. But its opposite in wm 6.5 and above what happens is in wm 6.5 and above there is large about of graphical components so gwes.exe most of you have probably noted with some taskmanager that this takes the most of ram, so it is large because it needs more ram to display the graphics.
2. Sometimes rom cheifs what they do is they use rom files as modules (okay it is little advanced for normal users) in simple words the battery also depends on the cheif i mean how they cook and what they cook cooking some type of files gives high storage but at the same time it consumes ram. Thus the resource.
Now the possible solutions
1. This problem yet to be clarified. But some temp solution are there one of the basic solution is use ur taskmanager and particulary the clean ram app. When u dont use any app close it it will save the ram (thus the resource) i prefer q taskmanager that is quick and accessible from any screen and some of my favourite are xtask but its little complicated at starting, but the best i would say is arkswitch can be accessed from any screen closes the app and istantly ram release is shown.
2. As One of the above mem said battery calibration
3. Due to more graphics more ram is consumed thus quicker battery drain so if we cant come up to the level of wm 6.1 then atleast we can come close to it. Like i have shown you one screenshot of getting 82 mb free ram in wm 6.5.3.
CatonElMenor I want your particular line to quote
What did I get? Just the opposite. WM 6.5 has a lot of mem usage (6.1 averaged 40% and WM 6.5 60% without any application runnig) and I red thats the cause of battery drainning.

So you say it consumes 60% ram, yes its true but and the same time the rom can consume less ram than wm 6.1 yes somedays ago i used phamquang rom dont remember the version in that only 60% ram was consumed. So i can surely say that its 100%possible that you can get up to the level of wm 6.1 or even better.
@All: All ppl's i know u are waiting for the rom but iam more impatient than you to release it so plz have little more patience. For me its 100% bug free rom (but u never know, people use there phone in diff situation so if there is a bug we will come to know eventually, for me as i said its totally bug free)

PLEASE DO NOT MIRROR MY ROM WITOUT PERMISSION! Thank You
More updates on this ROM thread will be coming up soon. I wanted to get the ROM out to you guys as soon as possible.

Reserved for now....

Reserved...

awesome news matey!
glad i spotted this, well done on eventually releasing!
drop me a PM if you want some VBN space and ftp access

Congrats on your release bro

Nice one E!

downloading !
this rom sounds like just what i was looking for.
ill post again once i have it installed and running
thnx!

Can you post a mirror for the rom. It is messed up when i try to download it.

I will be posting a new link to download the rom on VBN soon.

I've tried the ROM and I'm sad to say that it falls in the "I've tried that roms already and it didn't work out" pile for me. This ROM has so much potential and I would use it on a daily basis but there's just too much things nagging me.
like why is there a Opera Mini 5 beta, Opera Mobile 10, Internet Explorer, and then the Opera Mobile 9.7 in the ROM in the Internet folder. why so much? Opera Mini doesn't even work. Just make a choice and put only 1 or 2 and save some space...
the HTC messaging client is the onler 2.14 which freezes on incoming sms....pretty annoying
I really like the sense theme though, quite elegant.
the icons in the start menu us quite the contrast to the nice looking homescreen. the icons are too bland....I would say get an icon set that goes along with the theme.
I have no idea what LMT is but it doesn't seem to work.
I don't see why the bing app is included if you already have the bing widget....however the bing app doesn't have any link to it in the start menu or anywhere else....saw it in program files.
again, nice rom, just needs some more work. looking forward to ur updated version

I gave all of them there so people have choice. They almost take up no space. Opera mini works for me. I would like to hear from others if Opera Mini doesn't work. Either way I was thinking of taking it off anyways since it seems to have problems with logins on sites. I really don't like Opera 9.7 but it offers multi-touch support I know others like that. I will try to get it down to two or thee browsers. It's just that they don't take up too much space. I plan incorprating UC So I can install then that way and users can uninstall as they see fit.
Messaging is getting an huge ugrade on the next release.
I am in process of going to using the Firestorm Icon Set with frames soon. Let me know what you guys think.
LMT is an awesome app once you know what is does. I will explain in one of my reserved posts for it. It is a multi-touch launcher in it's simplest form. Here is the thread on it to read up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629263
Bing Widget is going to get deleted. I didn't mean throw it in there. However the Bing app is under the Maps Directory.
Thanks for the feedback guys. Workign to make this an Everyday ROM that will run reliably if you don't like to flash all that often.

Didnt know where your ROM was until G posted a reply on the CleanEx thread..
...and yes there are two ways to go build a rom (atleast thats my take).
(1) Start with everything build into it and then filter out bad/useless stuff till you get a clean one
(2) Start with barebone and keep adding one or two things in every beta till you get a mature one
All the best mate !

Congrats on your release... This will make Tmous friends smile

@ nightryder21
Just dropped in to say welcome to the CleanEx UDT !!!
just saw post on CleanEx Thread...
Keep up the good work..

marketplace dont work for me

This ROM looks good.
I vote for the Firestorm iconset. It looks good
TY

for me neither

what do you guys mean it doesn't work? doesn't start, doesn't let you guys sign in? please be more detailed so I can fix it.

Let me know what all i can improve and remember than don't expect all features as its in beta so i might have intensionally removed some.
So the ROM is neat, clean and bugfree. And yes i didn't forgot the battery life, this time its more than that of Evolution 2. If you are a fan and love Evolution 2 then you have a good reason to upgrade to this version which you will ♥ .
You have been requesting for public release, i didn't ignored you but i was waiting for the completion of final version but i think until that this one would be a gift for you all!
What's More?
Go through the below feature list etc and grab your copy via attachments.
What to expect from this new version?
★ Speed upgrade – The fastest ROM in Evolution series. Perhaps the fastest WM 6.5.3 ROM ever made.
★ Responsiveness- It’s really quick.
Legendary Features:
★ No wi-fi auto start.
★ Today setting, volume down button, file explorer dropdown etc fixed.
Features:
★ Extra lite ROM (no 3rd party app)
★ Open or hide keypad with a touch.
★ Landscape mode available at start>settings>system>screen.
★ Good amount of RAM, start-up free RAM is approx 73 MB.
★ Added option to configure touch input and phone option.
What’s new?

Edit: Goodbye, Touch Viva! Was a great experience to learn something new.

is an old link...rom date 07/06/2010...

Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I really appreciate your work, I've been using your Evo2 ROM since it was released, and I'm amazed by your work! Never had any problems whatsoever!!
I'm sure this version will be of top quality. Downloading now, and will report my feedback after flashing..
Thanks again.
@guybrush777 This IS the correct version I guess. It was actually a closed beta when it was released in June. I believe Jagan will confirm my opinion.
EDIT: I will post my testing reports in the appropriate thread to keep this one clean.

Hi jargan,
Thanks for sharing the Betaversion
Is it somehow possible to integrate EzInput?
Greetz
Kurso

I just flashed the ROM, and it's just PERFECT and really FAST
I wonder if i can install Manila 2D in this ROM, i tried to install Manila 2D v. 2.0 but it didn't work, it kept saying "tab here to launch TouchFlo" even after a softreset i got the same result. Once i tab it tries to load then it says tab again, and it happen over n over.
Any help would be appreciated
And Jagan, many MANY thanks for the great effort and the awesome ROM, i loved everything on it

I appreciate your hard effort..!
Thank You..for releasing most awaited Evolution Ultimate..!
I am a big fan of ur Evolution 2.5, using without any trouble..
Now time to give try to new member of Evolution series...
Will update you after flasing.
Thanks again for your great work

Most probably you have missed some M2D package, right now i don't have my device to test but you can go to M2D V2.0 Thread and install all the required cabs.
And glad that you liked.

I have been waiting for ths ROM since the day i installed Evo 2.5... What exactly is better? Depending on what is different only will I upgrade.
This doesnt have TouchFLO which i require.
Basically how is this ROM better than EVO 2.5?

As mentioned in the first post,
Expect it to be a hell lot faster than EVO 2.5 and yes batt life will be like this Evo-Ultimate>Evo2>Evo 2.5.
More details, Try it or wait for others to report

This is really nice ROM amazing great performance and speed Wo0oW it is wonderfull I really loved it I just need to instal Manila on it for touch flo right? and is it better to be on main memory or no matter where it is?
and I have just two problem here (ofcourse except MMS ) first in
start>Settings>Personal>Input when you go to optin part there is no way to come out either ok nor windows bottons work there.
and I can't find task maneger at top of page in today and also other place is this my problem I just can't find it?

No comments on Manila coz i haven't tested it yet.
But taskmanager, you couldn't find it coz its not there
My experience says, for windows mobile 6.5.3 default taskmanager or htc taskmanager = useless.
Install Arkswitch, the best one for Evo-Ultimate. Search the forum for it.

Good work in this rom
~ But the keyboard no are the ezinput

jmpnjimbob said:
I've just downloaded the Beta and have it installed. Thanks for releasing your Beta. It's always nice to get a new ROM to play with.
I've installed the EzInput keyboard, Manila 2D v1.2 and ArkSwitch plus a few other minor apps. Will also post my findings here as they come up. So far so good.

Welcome, Glad that you liked. It will be great if you post the EzInput keyboard version you installed, see above our friend JoxeeM is sad

People! It is a very Lite rom. And it is a BETA!
-No Manila.
-No Ezinput.
-Original WM theme and icons. (It is very good)
-Stable only US region. (it is only one little problem for me, because I'm Russian... and I have programs, which are freeware only for russian region... )
(Original task manager you can find in "windows/taskMgr" and then create a shortcut in "windows/Start Menu/Programs")
I love this ROM, because there is only all necessary for work and nothing superfluous.
I can instal only that, what I really need. (PhonEx, SPB keyboard, Arkswitch, Core Player, Resco Explorer/Registry/Photo Manager.)
ROM very fast & stable. Very long battery life... That's all i need.
Thank you once again Jagan2!
