[Q] latest build of old WM6.5 interface and hacking nk.exe - Windows Mobile

Can anyone tell me what the latest build (both latest and stable versions please) of the old WM6.5 interface (the one where you need a stylus to use) are? Also, is it somehow possible to turn a WM6.1 (or WM6.0) nk.exe into a WM6.5 nk.exe that can take advantage of slots 60 and 61 without intervention from the OEM (the reason I ask is because I'm cooking for an Asus device which doesn't have an official WM6.5 or later rom)?

You can't turn a 6.1 kernel into a 6.5 kernel; you'll just have to get by with what you have. You could always try playing around with 6.5 kernels from newer devices with similar hardware, but it probably (>99% chance) won't work.

In that case, does anyone know the latest (stable and latest versions) builds of the old WM6.5 interface (the one which you needed a stylus for) are?

21820
Personally, the most stable old version of WM 6.5 that I've played around with is Build 21820. I was able to use to use the kernel from WM6 when cooking a WM6.5.3 ROM somehow. However, doing so your device will be very buggy. I ended up with a WM6.5 "Classic" kinda UI that crashes every once in a while.

The advantage of stylus has nothing common with old or newer 6.5 build. I cooked for Asus until 23152 - no difference. Using 6.0 nk.exe also does not cause any problems.
If you mean narrow lines saying "stylus" - just do the following:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE]
"TouchAutoLayout"=dword:00000001
You can also play with
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\Microsoft\Today\Menu]
"MenuSelectorThemeImageBottomPadding"=dword:00000001
"MenuSelectorThemeImageTopPadding"=dword:00000001
To change the size of free space in Menu items, and standard size of open file dialogue:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\GWE\Commctrl]
"TreeviewExtraItemSpace"=dword:00000001
"TreeviewPlusMinus"=dword:0000000A
Play with parameters in these registry keys and choose the most wanted ones for you.....
This will not affect all the lines and dropdown menu but half of them - will definitely be fixed.
The only tip for your nk.exe - if you have ASUSMisc.dll in your OEMXIPKernel - move it from XIP to IMGFS.
P.S.
****, Steven855 asked his question in December.... My answer is just a waste of time....

No, you're fine. I was waiting (and checking) until someone could give me a definite answer to my questions. Anyway, I'm curios as to why you mentioned ASUSMisc.dll (what does it do, exactly?). Am I moving this to imgfs to increase device performance or is this something that has to do with the nk.exe that can be changed or upgraded? Also, could there be some reason why my Asus A626 (which is a landscape device with native resolution 320x240) has a really slow framerate while in portrait mode, but has a fast framerate in landscape mode? This is a problem with the stock rom as well as any custom roms (so far) that I make. This is really apparent when I use a program that uses both gdi functions and gapi functions (such as pocketgnuboy, where the on-screen v-pad doesn't show in gapi mode, but still registers where I touch the screen). I did find a gxdma.dll in OEMDrivers.

Hi.
BTH of this thread because I can not see definite answer. Could I take any of higher xip's for example 28244 and port it to WM 6.5 not 6.5.x system ?

Are you talking about the shell (interface) or the internal parts (like drivers and kernel stuff)?

I can not really understand what you mean. What kinda advantage are you waiting from using XIP and SYS that do not match?
And what do you mean by "higher" XIP? Higher than what?
Concerning your question - you can not use 6.5 and 6.5.x components simultaneously - using XIP from 6.5 and SYS from 6.5.x or vice versa will cause unbootable rom.

As I told you - I don't have your model in hands and never cooked for it. I can only describe general Asus-related things.
Moving ASUSMisc.dll to IMGFS reduces OEMXIPKernel size and saving free space in slot0. Besides - ASUSMisc.dll is unmovable module when it's in XIP and you are porting new XIP for your device. That means you should move other modules around it to escape gaps and overlapping.

Hi.
Maybe "higher" is not good word but what are the reasons there are so many xips ? I guees new functionality is supported, bugs are removed, perhaps stability and speed is improoved too. Thay is why I asked for best xip for WM6.5
I am not going to change SYS in my WM6.5. I only look for best xip.

I guess people are confused because the xips tend to be connected to the sys builds. I don't think anyone talks about the best xip, personally; if they do, perhaps they're talking about changing oemxipkernel builds. Mixing and matching sys's and xip's seems like a good way to run into instability, not to improve the stability of a build.

Maybe I am wrong but it does not have to be necessary that only one possible "pair" of xip and sys exists. Xip is a kernel so if it fulfills what upper layers needs ( device drivers, higher level dll's and applications ) it should work. Anyway porting prodecure ( creating new xip suitable for cooked system ) is based on existing SYS so maybe it is not so "black" scenario as some people say.
Is it true that in worst case I can only not boot my device but not brick ?
Regards

Yeah, in the worst case scenario, you'll just get a non-booter. Not a big deal, but it's always disappointing. I just remembered that I have mixed and matched msxipkernels with sys's before-by accident. When I switched to OS Builder, I didn't know the proper way to port xips, and I think I was using the 23653 msxipkernel with all sorts of other builds, like 216xx, 231xx and 282xx. The roms were ok, but I did have issues with S.O.D. for the only time. I was really glad when I figured out what I was doing wrong, things have been smooth sailing since then. So, in my experience you can do it, but you probably don't want to do it.

I tried making a basic 6.5 stable ROM using COM2 (21916) build. But the screen becomes irresponsible once in the file explorer or the messaging. I can't tap on anything except the start menu and the X to end. Navigation is possible through the d-pad, but it is kinda annoying when you have a 2.8inch screen to play.
Can anyone help?

I'm not sure on that one. I guess if a soft reset can't cure it, you should try a hard reset (and if that fails, you might just have to go and reflash a more stable rom).

Do any one suggest the fast, stable and latest rom for my blue angel.
I tried the build 20958 but it is not quiet stable and eat battery very quickly.
Please post the download links too.
Is there any newer then build 20958?
Thank you.

或许你可以尝试19xxx/202xx,虽然没有太多新特性,但不是那么耗电!
207xx/209xx[Aku1.4/Aku1.5]是一种新特性的版本,但很耗电!
In my opinion sun_dream's 20758 ROM is the best so far. I've been using it since it came out and I was impressed how blazing fast was when I installed it

I'm not agree with you.
I have several issues with sundream's new rom.
Slow speed and battery draining are the most annoying problems of them...
My battery goes up to 3 days depending on what I'm doing on the pda . Sometimes I charge it every day but it is with a lot of entertaining during the day - games, one or two movies, listening to music, calls, chat, but if I use it normally the battery is enough for two days But this is only my opinion
P.S. I use the BA @ 530mhz with stock battery .

sun_dream's rom is ultra-fast and stable. I have flashed at least 2 dozens ROM before....
By the way, as sun_dream said above, if you want longest battery life, use older ROM before .199

yes, mustking, i think sun_dream wants to build a vanilla type of rom for users to customize themselves. Also, because BA's rom flashing images are much smaller than the hermes (like 25mb vs. 55mb), so cookers have much harder time even to get the image into the tight space, let alone extra utilities.
at any rate, sun_dream's rom is UC capable, so you can make it however you like it.
Use xplode's SD card extrom. contains HTC Home, HTC Flash Lite (if u dun wanna install IE8+Flashlite 3, Adobe reader, MMS, and some other minor software
(only works if u havent reformatted ur extrom partition to 128KB)
u can make ur own extrom by editing the cfg and adding ur cabs

Yes, true. But they may include good utilities such as HTC Home, Slice, Connections wizard in EXT Rom.

Yes, but i exactly mean to say that they may include it in EXT ROM with the ROM compressed file. Because some time say certain developer already included the HTC Task manager in the ROM and many of us like the Task manager of the PDAVIET Rom. So, if they only provide the different task managers in the EXT Rom and allow us the customize it our self. Then it will be a good thing i think.
mustking, I have merged the ext rom in wm2003 to create the 60M space, so I don't have that in wm6.1 now (or do I??? ) So, assuming ext rom is not available for users like me, it is safer for cooker to build rom that without, no?

I am not sure that how much space is available in WM6.1 for the EXT ROM. But, just including the utilities in the EXT ROM will be good step instead of searching foe the latest cabs...

I have been using sundream's new rom for a couple of days, but I am finding it hard to switch on my IR. I need this option as I use the IR Remote software. I am not able to find the IR option in the Comm Manager. Someone please help....
Hi,
I do not know if IR is indeed working on this version, because I have not tried it, but the proper way to switch on IR might be:
Start - Settings - Connections - Beam - tick "Receive all incoming beams "

ba upgrade wm6 to 6.5

Hi can anyone please tell me how to upgrade my ba to wm 6.5 from wm 6? , i used the wizard to upgrade from wm2003 to wm6 about 2 yrs ago, any help much appreciated, love this pda and i love using it as a phone too
basicly, when your device is already upgraded, there is not much to do.
you probably don't have to worry about sim lock and radio roms and storage sizes anymore, since apparently, it all worked fine so far.
so all you need to do is download any wm6.5 rom, unpack it, and make a RUU folder, containing the rom itself (nk.nbf) and a few other files named for example maupgradeut_noid.exe and getdevicedata and so on.
then you hard reset your device by pressing camera+record+power+reset and set the menu options clear registry hive and format storage to "YES" and enable kitl to "NO" using the camera and record buttons to flip and switch, confirm that with the mail button.
then you put your device into bootloader mode by pressing reset+record+power, kill active sync, connect the device to the pc and start maupgradeut_noid. if the 2nd screen shows you at least the version of the rom you go to, you are fine and can start the upgrade.
as soon as it is finished, use the hard reset method described above to prepare the device for the first start and then you might want to use "getting started" on the device to set it up and set up sync to get your pim data back. i shortened this description as you might remember a lot of stuff, or so i hope. most of what i wrote should ring a bell, if not, please feel free to have a look in the wizard for upgrades from wm5 to wm6 -=here=- or simply ask again, what troubles you.
with best regards
Chef_Tony
hi Tony thanks 4 ure help, when u say any rom is that only those specific for ba or are they all universal? i downloaded WM65-23052 & EnergyROM_RAPHAEL_20090811_Titanium or should i stick to the ones on the ba wizard page eg r6? i guess its the latter
of course you can only use blueangel roms found in the ba wm6 section, i mean, if you have a dvd writer that can read any disk, you wouldn't shove a slice of salami in there, would you?
the roms are so far interchangable as being WWE and work with every BA worldwide, but you need a blueangel rom, because of the rom's structure, memory consumption, drivers and so on, and after all, the buttons and the display resolution.
i once had a case, where someone tried to flash a charmer rom to a ba, that rom was way too big, and also the files were completely different, so he couldn't get through with it on his own and asked, because he would have messed up his ba with that pretty bad.
so, conclusively, 23052 builds are nice, but wait, till it's coming for the BA. i think d-two is working on it, maybe you want to have a look at the 23004 german rom thread, i asked him and he is gonna make an english version too, but until then you might want to catch status updates there.
Tony thanks it worked awsome phone, i used xplodes english rom, is there much difference between that & the german one? who needs an iphone eh again many thanks will lookout for d2s new ba release cheers
with the current releases there are no major differences between d-two's and xplode's build (except for the language) but what i wrote was about the next builds, they're both working on 23047 or 23052 builds, but d-two has the advantage that he has overcome the know sync and sms bugs, so his build will probably be the first of those two to come out. although he is rather new to this forum and so far he only supported his own wm6.5 build 23004 german, that is a guy you better keep an eye on. he is making fast progress and maybe will become one of the major chefs soon.
hi again please can you tell me how to do a wm6.5 hard reset & also how to get into into bootloader mode as to reload a new rom eg d2's, also i did notice there were 2 excel icons in msoffice maybe a bug many thanks
actually i solved it myself, just gotta be quicker with the camera & record buttons cheers
Hi Tony everything on explodes exroms installed ok except jbed, is that java? Also i looked at xplodes manila thats really nice, i guess thats on the latest phones , its like a mini o/s, so u would just install that after u install a 6.5 rom?
yes, jbed is the java applet manager.
for manila, i wouldn't say it is a mini os, it is more of an alternative gui, it replaces the titanium today screen with a touchflo one, but it also just features basic functions, photo viewing, music playing and does not alter the start menu or any add-on apps, most of the functions are also available in titanium or for titanium as an add-in, let's say facebook or stuff like that.
the time to install doesn't really matter, you can also install other apps first, whatever, you only need to know that after you install it, you have to deactivate "default" in today plug-ins and also all the others, because you can have only manila as your today plugin then and then you should find a "touch to start touchflo" button on your today screen and then you'll see, whether it works or not. that really depends from user to user, and between the different devices, roms, countries and manila versions, maybe you have to try several versions before you actually find one that runs in an acceptable speed, because that seems to be the general issue when it comes to porting manila.
thanks i may just stick 2 what i have, d2,s new 6.5.1 rom is beta so would that except xplodes extrom 23004 cabs? or is it best to wait for him to put his own one out?
thanks i may just stick with what i have, D2's new rom 6.5.1 is that compatible with xplodes 23004 extrom or is it best to wait for d2 to bring his own one out?
d-two said he wanted to release one, maybe till the weekend he's done putting it together.

How to update Manila only to 2.5.1922?

Hi all,
I got a noob question? I see that many ROMs come up with Manila 2.5.1922 and some application specifically ask for that version number. I have just updated my ROM to 1.66 WWE and the Manila version is still 2.5.1921. I wonder is there any difference between the two? If 1922 is better, how can I upgrade?
Thanks,
NTD
unfortunately you cannot upgrade Manila/Sense on its own....apparently it is so complex and deep into "wm" system that it has to be done when you cook new rom (i said apparently as you can find ported Manila/Sense for VGA devices, so effectively it is possible).
as for the diferencies, main one is an extra tab where you can flip through the documents same way as through pics... and of course is some more added tweaks, options and it's more polished then previous one...
as for you saying that some apps asking for the specific version of Manila/Sense?!?!?! never heard about a piece of soft (which is not a Manila tweak) to be made for a specific version...can you give us an example please??

Thanks for the info. What I meant about the soft is that it has the Manila 1922 on the title, i.e.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=620491&highlight=1922
Anyway, I will try a cooked rom then.

Hidden G-sensor

I was over at the Mega forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577224 and now wonder if Iolite has a "hidden" G-sensor aswell?
Was trying, he hasn´t a hidden G-sensor.
I thought so too....but it got me doubting because you find a registry entry in the Roms of Billabongstaff.....
Anyway bad luck......
Was found this entry, was changed, restarted - no effects.
I mean, that a lot of entrys in registry are nonsens, but who will clean it ?
Greetings!
Well it was worth the shot, thanks for sharing.
2 years ago I made some 6.1-ROMs for the HTC Wizard. A clean registry and a clean windows-folder will made the ROM fast and stable. I had the fastest german 6.1-ROM for the Wizard. But I haven´t a working german 6.5-kitchen for the Iolite so I can´t cook something. In another forum (a german) I would make a "Joint Venture" - project - cook a ROM together, but it was the shoot in the oven. 24 Downloads of my kitchen - feedback = nothing.
Now my kitchen is cold...
Greetings!
Hello Mirko, don't get discouraged by this experience.....there will be enough fans in this forum for a good Rom.....
But the Rom's need to be in Dutch or English as far as I am concerned and they could even be in WM6.5.3 version.....
By the way nothing but good words about Bruno's Rom.......but I have 2 Touch Cruises at this moment so I can play around a bit.....
mirko.prinz: Actually, I tried to optimize (delete unneeded files and registries) and customize my own ROM (including cursors and graphics) and it took me really lot of time. However it is only WM 6.1 21054 version as I do not like WM 6.5 and it is still not fully completed. I simply need my phone for everyday use and I have no spare time to play with it.

[ROM]|"SensePhone"|WM6.5.3|23152|Sense 2018|3.14.531.1|

Introduction:
I have been around for a few years "cooking" Windows Mobile ROMs for various CDMA devices from the Titan and ending with the Rhodium. I took a break form Windows Mobile and bought an EVO and had cook a few android ROMS, but had gotten very bored with the lack of internal customization of Android, so I decided to buy another WM 6.5 phone and restart my favorite pass-time hobby.
Concept:
The "concept" of this ROM is based off of what HTC did with its Sense interface and how deeply HTC embedded Sense within the Android OS. I like using Sense on Windows Mobile and wanted to do the same with what I believe HTC should have done with WM 6.5.3, so this ROM is alot different from your normal ROM as it is solely based and dependant on Sense.
Features:
This is not a "feature" ROM in fact most of your normal Sense features like Facebook intergration, Twitter, and Footprints have been disabled and removed for the time being since those are services that I do not heavily rely on, however if interest persist I may add Twitter and Facebook intergration later. The ROM does contain most of HTC's common Sense software such as Audio Booster to the Voice Recorder with the removal of the "bloat" software such as the WorldCard Business Card Reader, Java Blend, and JetCet Printing.
Summary:
This basis of this is to remove as much un-neccessary parts of the WM 6.5.3 OS to replace it with Sense to make Sense as much of the main OS as possible.
Instructions for flashing:
Code:
This ROM is compatible with all HD2 devices manufactured by HTC.
If you're a beginner, please read as there's a few things you need to do first.
•You need to install a modified SPL on your device that allows installation of custom ROMs such as this one. It's called a Hard SPL and it's here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433.
•You need to install a compatible radio that works with this ROM. The radios that work with this ROM all have ".50" in their name.
If you have a TMobile USA branded device, then you don't need to flash a radio. The ROM will work just fine with it. However, if you own an asian or european HD2 then you NEED to flash a .50 radio.
* :HSPL 1.66 Minimum recommended.
* :No Radio is included in this release.
* :Correct radio needed to enable 576 ram for NON-T-Mous HD2 users.
* :Please hard reset after flashing.
Info about the ROM:
* Base official T-Mous stock 3.14.531 (T-Mobile US HD2 and HTC HD2 EU compatible)
* MS build 23152 WM6.5.3
*Only compatible with radio version: 2.xx.50.xx
Available memory:
Storage: over 750 mb

TESTING THE ROM FOR PERFORMANCE
* Flash the ROM
* Hard reset after ROM Flash orTask 29 before Flashing ROM either choice
* DO NOT INSTALL ANY 3RD PARTY APPS UNTIL TRYING THE ROM FIRST AND READING IF YOUR SOFTWARE IS COMPATIBLE WITH WM6.5.3, This will help to give you the experience of the base ROM
* I dont use 3rd party apps or tweak since my rom is tweaked how i use it daily.
* After testing the rom and your'e happy, Install your software one at a time then soft reset and try the device to see if anything any bugs occur.
Disclaimer:
This is a ROM that I created for myself with me in mind, that I am sharing with the XDA community. If enough general interest is surfaces any feature that is not present or that should be remove will be taken into consideration in future ROMS.

Hey thanks you guys let me know what you think I have to finish my OP but it will be later and we will call this a beta
So far so good, no freezes, crashes or glitches.
All connections work.
Good work.
Thanks 10 char
http://www.mediafire.com/?jhn239kfztxd5xs Updated ROM and updated first OP ... don't sleep on this one I will put my old rep on the line and say that this one is as stable as the most popular ROMs
So this is stock Sense ROM, but based on WM 6.5.3 and without twitter, facebook and bloatware?
If yes, it's really cool! However I miss twitter, is it possible to bring it back?
"results"
hello,
well, i got back from droid as few of things i need did not worked. so needed something to start again with
so .. i flashed this and i must say i am pleased very nice, everything thats needed, nothing more. ok, i need some of my usual stuff, but thats MINE .. but ..
of course there should be "but.." you cannot satisfy everyone
the only thing i really miss in this rom are buttons. close/back/send in combo with back .. you get the idea .. one of the main problems in droid is missing those buttons, and destroying hw buttons on the bottom of the phone. yes, i know those hardware buttons are there for that, but as we all know, they are not so good in quality .. so .. if this could be solved, this would be the perfect rom .. well, for me anyway
cheers

I will make a cab for this it is just a registry tweak
If it's just a registry tweak, you can simply post it, I think we can do it ourselves .

cabs are silly for simple registry tweaks.
Since you did not get an answer raven, the entries are listed below. Change them to 0 or delete them if you want the stock 6.5.x interface.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\BubbleTiles]
"TextModeEnabled"=dword:00000001
"HardwareStartKeyEnabled"=dword:00000001
"HardwareDoneKeyEnabled"=dword:00000001
