Loading WinMobile 5 Without Built-in Apps

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
WB

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

New at this

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.

Getting ready to go transparent

Just got my HD2 and would like to remove/make transparent taskbars and curtains etc...
My question which I have not found an answer to is do I need to SPL, use different ROM etc or can I use the mod cabs on a out of the box handset?

You dont need to flash your device at all to install cab files.

Search for Touch X collection , you 'll found every thing you need

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

[Q] The only Doubt

Should i use the NEW ORIGINAL X2 ROMS + Extracted CABs after flashing or should i use it as a update.. I don know how dumb it is but just want to know...

I also would like know if i can directly download it and install it. is there any guide to it ?????

Some one please guide.. the whole of my xperia is just looking absurd.. i would like to know how to install the NEW ORIGINAL X2 ROMS + Extracted CABs

you cant? so dont do it... i isnt necessary for you

Hi sorry, i didn't actually want to do it, but the problem is am having a problem with everything.. i tried the accelerometer software given here, yet the main screen(not the windows menu) is not rotating.. The other thing is that the menu is not customizable. i can't remove the items that i want in the menu.. how could i do that...

[Q] Custom Motoactv ROM?

Hello,
I am working on a custom app for the motoactv platform and I would love to connect to someone who can customize a ROM (like ClearDroid) for my purposes. I basically need a stripped down version of CD that can host my app, connect to wifi (and provide all the hardware services that are on the device already) and basically nothing else. Ideally I would be able to launch right into my app from booting (this might imply a custom launcher as well).
Ideally this person would help me set up this bare ROM, add my app to it and maybe show me around the customization a little. Know anyone? There would probably be some money in it for someone who could competently help me out.
Thanks,
Judd

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Good luck
