Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

This incorrect. You still need to have the android files on your SD. at the moment the android kernel cannot read the flash flesystem (tp2 internal storage). All this is a very lim version of WM made for booting android. I made one that boots android automatically, both work well. It seems really that it does not matter what ROM you are running on top of, because haret completely unloads WM from memory. The only benefit I see is of course startup time, I got from power on to android desktop in like 2 mins or less with both calk's 6.1 version and my own 6.5. :-D

the progress on android is astounding. having it load before windows UI makes it seem like an android ROM. Couple that with a quick android bootsplash and nobody would know any better if they didn't know that it is impossible at this time to load it natively. Well, maybe the framebuffer loadign sequence would give it away to a geek person, anyone else probably not ;)

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

cool thanks for the clear up. when i flashed this rom i already had the files on my card. i didnt know that it didnt come with it

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

Data works out the box, but it would be a good idea to have your carrier provisioning cab. To directly answer your question: Me personally my data worked out the box...

Running the current Android release power/ battery management to be not the best in the world. Nicely said...

You going out for taco tonite..? lol

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

Bah No Way!

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

Awesome... just to clear up any misconceptions- Yes, it will likely be possible to load Android natively on the device's internal memory. Some Vogue users have it flashed to NAND already, effectively removing WinMo completely.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636024

I wouldn't worry about that anytime soon- let's first work on getting a solid Android release with all the functions working before we go deleting WinMo. :)

Personally, I would always keep both. The only thing you loose is boot time, and Calk here has provided a compromise for now. Nicely done!

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

Absolutely LOVING this ROM.

Android runs on top of it smoothly.

Also it is a very nice barebones WinMo ROM on which I can run whatever CABs I want. I have Pocket Informant and FlexMail running on it, and it is amazing how well this work.

One issue I am having is that it is almost TOO barebones. So, for example, I cannot get either (1) auto call recording, or (2) ICS/WModem (tethering) working on this ROM. Also, I am missing not having a battery meter on this ROM. How difficult would it be to restore the underlying backbone functionality to permit these to work on this ROM?

Thanks in advance for thoughts/feedback.

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

I think that would defeat the purpose of this ROM:
dwizzy130

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

A little confused. Is the whole point of this ROM to free up memory? Does it have any other advantages such as battery life or speed/performance? I like it because I've been playing with Android nonstop and don't really want to switch back to winmo at the moment:)

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

Agreed that it would defeat the ONE, recited purpose that you quoted.

Having said that, this ROM is FAST, and blows away every other custom ROM that I have tried in terms of speed, even with FlexMail and PocketInformant loaded up (I am still testing battery life). So, another purpose for this ROM (which I am exploring) is "INCREDIBLY FAST, VIABLE ALTERNATIVE TO CUSTOM/STOCK ROMs to replace custom/stock ROMs in a dual-boot system (WinMo and Android)". And, those functions I listed are key core functions to the WinMo boot (at least, for me).

So, constructive thoughts appreciated. Maybe this thread should be in BOTH the Android, and the CDMA Custom ROM forums?

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

This is a super fast ROM, now that the messaging client has been added thats a plus for me. I'm not a heavy user everyday, mostly sms, emails, browser thats it. Maybe youtube if someone sends me link to something that they think is funny.

So for me this ROM is ideal mixed with the fact of my new Android life.

+1 on adding this thread to CDMA Custom ROM forums... Only if Calkulin adds about 3-5 more features(core winmo lifelines), so attempted nOobish requests can be declined in the post #1.





...........................................

Calkulin mind going into alittle details...?? Will the ROM automatically copy the mentioned (list) below over to device memory, after the Droid boot up on this ROM...?

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

New ROM coming up, DualBOOT, restored a couple more Windows "essentials" and a couple of other things.

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

Liking that "Internet Sharing" icon. :)

Looking forward to putting your newest through its paces.

I cannot say this enough times: This ROM is FAST (and battery life is pretty impressive, too).

Calk - If I have a request for you to restore a couple of additional, basic (at least, to me) features to this ROM (to make it more consistent with my goal of dual boot ROCKIN' ROM), should I PM you with the request, or post it on this thread? Others may share my goal (not sure), but I don't want to get off topic either.

Thanks again, Calk, for a GREAT ROM.

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

Well I think this is as much as I'm going to put back in to it

Good enough for me...Thx

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - DualBOOT - 44MB :-)
 

New ROM is up on the first page....

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

Wow, Calk. Did you read my mind on what my bare essentials were? :)

The screenshot looks great.

For the programs, it looks like you have covered all the bases (I would have preferred Opera Mobile to IE for the browser, but that's a small thing I can live with - Maybe the internet browser can be a CAB install?). I will also be adding Auto Call Recording, HTC WiFi Sharing and WModem, but those are personal preference items (having said that, if you could bake those into your ROM, yummy!).

In the settings, looks like you have also covered what I view as essentials. A couple of suggested modifications (again, if you could bake these into your ROM, much appreciated):
Personals Tab: Remove "Lock" (I never use that);
System Tab: Reinsert "Device Information" (I like to see it all in one place without going to EPST), "GSensor" + "Text Messaging" (these last two suggested only if your ROM does not already have the precalibration (for GSensor) or the threaded SMS (for TextMessaging) hard-programmed in), and TVOut (seldom used functionality, but I have the cable!!).
Connections Tab: Would be nice to have an upgradeable (via CAB?) Comm Manager (i.e., so I can have the HTC WiFi Sharing built into Comm Manager), but not essential. Otherwise, this tab is great.

It also looks from the screenshot that you moved away from the 6.1 core (that looks like a 6.5 file explorer screenshot, though maybe I am mistaken). Is that correct, or am I just mistaken?

Again, thanks for all the hard work in getting this done. This ROM of yours just ROCKS AS-IS, and please don't view what I write above as anything but personal-preference suggestions of mine. I LOVE WHAT YOU DO, CALK.

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.1 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - 28MB :-)
 

I guess that my question got answered while I was writing my response.

Looks like it is a 6.5 base.

Any idea what is the memory/speed hit for going from 6.1 to 6.5? And, for those of us who prefer the simplicity of 6.1, any chance you can make the same tweaks you just made to your ROM, but on a 6.1 base?

Personally, I would love to test both for speed/memory differences.

Thanks again for all your great work.

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - DualBOOT - 44MB :-)
 

I like this ROM. A LOT. The changes that were made were overall good.

Having said that, I offer the following personal observations/feedback for comment/consideration:

1. Speed - Very fast. Faster than any 6.5 ROM I have played with. Slower, though, than Calk's v.1 of this ROM (which was based on 6.1), though. (Difference in speed can be seen when opening folders, through start menu, for example).

2. Memory footprint - Very small for a 6.5 ROM. Having said that, probably due to both additional apps and bump up to 6.5, it is about 50% bigger than Calk's v.1 of this ROM.
EDIT: The "gwes.exe" file is HUGE (1.07MB) on this ROM; any reason why? (At least, it seems huge when I reflect back on my ROM cooking days of WM5 and WM6 ROMs for my former Titan).

3. Change from 6.1 to 6.5 - Not sure I like this; still getting used to it. I will provide more feedback after a while. Having said that, see items 1 and 2, above.

4. Start Menu - I am probably missing something easy here, but is there a way to reorganize the layout of the icons when I click on Start? I like what is there, but would just like the ability to reorganize. Probably showing my lack of WinMo 6.5 knowledge at this point.
EDIT: GREAT JOB on the spinning Android Icon (beats the spinning wheel of Windows anytime). :)

5. Changes to Settings - I like most changes that were made. I would like to see the free shortcuts under Settings folder (Bluetooth, Clocks/Alarms, Lock, Sounds & Notifications, Today) put into the existing subfolders (Connections, Personal, System), though. A personal preference (a la WinMo 6.1). Plus, it would be nice to add back in "Device Information" and "Power" setting items, as I use these items a bit (I would also like "TV Out" (I have the cable), but I can live without that).

6. Changes to Program - Again, I like most changes that were made. I LOVE the Task Manager used, and the fact that Camera and Camcorder and Pics/Video (instead of memory bloat HTC Album) functionality was restored. I would like to see Windows Media AND Internet Explorer removed ENTIRELY (i.e., for those of us who want to add via CAB TCPMP (Master Codec Pack 5 is recently out) and Mobile Opera, respectively); I don't know how much memory such a removal would make available (as an aside, I noticed in version 1 of this ROM that nonoperational shortcut and program for "iexplore" stayed behind in the Windows folder; a probably artifact). Also, for those of us (like me) who load up Android from the "/Andboot" folder of the storage card, I would prefer that GenYDualBoot (and the two Android shortcuts) be added as a CAB, rather than baked into the ROM, thereby permitting editing/changes to resulting config files and links.

Overall, this is a great 6.5-based ROM.

Having said that, I would like to test a 6.1 version of this v.2 ROM that has Calk's changes built-in (with my suggestions above incorporated as well - All Settings changes as-built-by-Calk-v2, plus Device Info and Power reinstalled and icons reorganized; All Program changes as-built-by-Calk-v2, plus Internet Explorer and Windows Media and YGen.DualBoot stripped out (permitting later add via CAB)). Feel free to PM me, Calk, if you are interested in making such a 6.1 based ROM, and are looking for a tester.

Thoughts/feedback appreciated.

And, yet again, thanks, Calk for a great ROM (my observations above notwithstanding, this ROM truly is a work of art).

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - DualBOOT - 44MB :-)
 

I love the 6.1 start menu... Or folders in 6.5 start menu...

Calkulin and thanks for burning in GenY DualBoot....

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - DualBOOT - 44MB :-)
 

lol I had an answer for you but didn't see you online to fix that genY dualboot issue, had a cab file ready to send to you lol

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - DualBOOT - 44MB :-)
 

I am really, REALLY starting to like this ROM. Better than the 6.1 v.1.

One question, and one possible add (for your consideration, Calk):
1. When Sprint 6.5 gets released, will you create a v.3 that incorporates the new drivers/software?
2. Consider adding this to enable BT DUN: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\DUNServ er\ControlPanel]
Enabled=1

Thanks again, Calk (and, for you readers, thank me if item 2 above works out for you like it did for me).

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - DualBOOT - 44MB :-)
 

Uploading a 43MB 6.5 one and I redid 6.1 again for those that want it, so they will be up in the first page shortly. And sd_matto, I included that reg key change for you

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - DualBOOT - 6.5 & 6.1
 

Mackie I was overlooking a small step attempting DualBoot, but I figured it out. I already had the latest GenY .cab and the theme .cab for it. I ran it flawlessly on a few custom ROMs over the past few days. I changes some of my ppcgeeks profile page setting so try to send me a PM, when you get a chance.

thx

Cal... I think I'll be rolling with the 6.1 it just something about that start menu, that make me fall in love winmo all over again.

thx

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - DualBOOT - 44MB :-)
 

Awesome and thanks. Downloading now, but busy for rest of day. Will test both over the course of the next day or so, and post feedback sometime tomorrow (Sun).

Thanks again, Calk.

Re: [ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROMs for Android - DualBOOT - 6.5 & 6.1
 

Loving the 6.1, so I had to post.

Three quick qs:

1. Are the ## codes available on this ROM (i.e., to access EPST, FieldTrial)? For some reason, the usual suspects (##DATA, ##PST) are not working. If they arent accessible, is there some CAB available to provide access?

2. When you built this ROM and added the File Explorer extensions, did you incorporate the ones for Win 6.5 available since mid-Jan 2010 (as v.2.06) at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421723 ?

3. Best CAB for MMS for WinMo 6.1? I am on Boost, so I will have to manually change settings anyways.

Thanks for letting me know.

Re: [ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROMs for Android - DualBOOT - 6.5 & 6.1
 

Try this one: report back results... I have a few more native sprint mms .cab

Re: [ ROM ][ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROM for Android - DualBOOT - 44MB :-)
 

Thanks Calk, for including that Reg key (i.e., the "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\DUNServ er\ControlPanel]
Enabled=1" mentioned above).

Unfortunately, it looks like in putting back in that reg key, you added something else that messes with both (a) BT DUN ability to work, and (b) ability of USBModem (a third party program similar to WModem, but working on both Macs and PCs) to work.

I solved (a). You need to edit the registry of your ROMs to remove "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\DUNServ er]SendPPPTerminate=1".
EDIT1: This solution, though it fixed the problem of BT DUN not working in 6.1v2, is not the underlying cause of the problem, as the prior 6.5v1 has the same registry entry (i.e., the one whose removal fixed things in 6.1v2) but, unlike 6.1v2, BT DUN works in 6.5v1 without removing the registry entry.
EDIT2: There is no problem (a) in 6.5v2; problem (a) is limited to 6.1v2.

I am still working on (b) above.
EDIT3: Problem (b) persists across ROMs. Likely not a ROM issue (more likely a Mac OS issue), so I am abandoning this for now.

And, thanks info; I am still working on MMS.

does anybody have a working cab for quickgps? I'm trying to run gps in google maps (windows mobile) but its not finding satelites, so I installed quickgps but when I open it it says its not signed in with certificate or components are missing.

I'm having an issue when I boot back to windows mobile from android my clock changes to wrong time, I never had this with other roms.

Re: [ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROMs for Android - DualBOOT - 6.5 & 6.1
 

Same issue here.

In stripping down the ROM, Calk may have gotten rid of the automatic sync with network time? If you did, Calk, consider this a request to put it back in (having accurate time/date on phone? pretty important).

Either way, this can be addressed with a workaround by manually setting time in Clocks&Alarms under Settings.

Wirelessly posted (Opera/9.80 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/5.0.16823/1030; U; en) Presto/2.4.15)

Correcting the time in Settings/Clock and Alarms only helps till the next boot, when you boot back to windows from android its messed up again.

Re: [ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROMs for Android - DualBOOT - 6.5 & 6.1
 

Calk-

Will you be updating your ROM with the drivers,etc from the newly available Sprint 6.5 ROM (found @ http://www.htc.com/us/support/touch-...t/downloads/)? And, if so, timeframe?

Also, regardless of whether you choose to do this, any chance to implement a more permanent clock/timezone fix to the problem ID'd above?

Thanks for letting us know.

As an aside, I am sticking with your 6.5 ROM for now because I could not resolve that BT DUN issue from the 6.1 ROM (previously ID'd above).

Re: [ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROMs for Android - DualBOOT - 6.5 & 6.1
 

Anyone do any benchmarking on this rom vs any other bloated rom?

Re: [ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROMs for Android - DualBOOT - 6.5 & 6.1
 

which rom is better the 6.1 or 6.5

also im going to need to be able to still use some wm applications. If i cant use them I rather use one the other regular roms like stock sprint rom and boot android.

the apps i need to use still on WM are


Mymobile

Magicall

PowerSMS

WMwifirouter

SkyFire

SmartPhone Tracker


and thats it for now that i can think of

need to be able to use in call recording also and still have threaded sms and I think those the main things. will i have any trouble installing the cabs for these and using them if i use one these roms? and which rom is better and why? I was going to go with 6.5 since its just newer but how much different and how is it from 6.1. is it worth the lil more amount of memory to use?


also do i have to use any custom radios or unlocks to get it to flash or can i just start the .exe file and it will flash and thats it. because this phone is straight from the company still have not been messed with at all

I suggest you head over to the cdma upgrade section and find Calkulin's Visual Kitchen for the TP2...then you can cook the ROM that you want.

Re: [ v1.2 ] Calkulin's Stripped ROMs for Android - DualBOOT - 6.5 & 6.1
 

link please. . .

i found a thread but i dont see a visual kitchen one

*edit*

got it i think. now i just gotta figure out which rom i should flash?

huh?

im asking which one of these stripped roms should i flash the 6.1 or 6.5

or none if i wanna be able to do what i have above still
