Bare Naked ROM [4-X-10] WM 6.1 Build 21056 Manila SenseUI 2.1 & 2.5 CAB

They're not bugs, Freeza does good work. This is a Windows Mobile ROM, and as such is designed to give a straight Windows Mobile install. Things like MMS and aGPS are NOT part of Windows Mobile, and are extras for smartphones - dedicated PDAs like iPaqs don't (or at least, didn't) come with these things, either. Think of it like Microsoft Office - a lot of people don't WANT it coming preinstalled on their PC, because they want OpenOffice or StarOffice, or don't need the apps at all.

If you want these functions to be treated as basic needs, perhaps you should consider a less stripped-down ROM, that comes with carrier apps and mobile stuff.

Also, have you tried just browsing to the YouTube website and seeing if that works? Try IE Mobile, Opera Mini, and SkyFire. I know at least one of them will work.

Hey, Freeza - why don't you put the previous releases up on your server, so folks can try various iterations to see how stripped they like it?

Hi Freeza,

Since you are discontinuing this ROM any chance of posting your kitchen? I'd like to continue working on it (for my own use if nothing else) and perhaps complete the semi-naked ROM

Cheers

Seems alot of little cabs needed to to have basic stuff working correctly. also my caller id won't pop up correctly when someone calls in. it's the fastest rom i tried, but lots of little bugs

I guess I have not seen any of the bugs. There was a good bit of fiddling to get it working the way I wanted with a number of CABs recommended by the chef. Well worth the effort however.

For my use, I have decided to convert my phone from toy to tool. So I do not have any fluff on the device. No YouTube, no real need for MMS, no games other than solitaire. Still runs great for me. No issues with caller ID either. Also works great with S2U2 which was not the case on any of the 6.5 ROMS I tried. I also use the Inesoft Phone 5 Dialer with great success.

So the Apps I use daily are: CoPilot, email, Pocket Informant, OneNote, SBP Wallet, SPB Time, Elecont Weather, Opera 9.7, Internet sharing, SPB Shell 3.5, QuickGPS, Inesoft Phone, Voice Recorder, Panoramic Calc Pro, S2U2

So even with all of these apps installed, I have about 113 MB of memory available after a reboot. All of these apps have worked for me without fail. All launch quickly and I can scroll with finger gestures just like 6.5. The only thing I do not have is Manila, which I do not really miss.

It may not be right for you depending on your needs however.

Well that sux that you aren't going to make a 6.5 version. Does anyone have any good 6.5-6.5.5 bare ROMs?

This rom is HELLA FAST! but it has BUGS. Can't used Youtube and Plays video with no picture just sound. If you don't use your device for these two things, then I recommended this Rom 100%, but I do so I'm moving on.....

I'm having issues where some of the third party apps like midomi and grooveshark can't connect to the internet. any have these issues? I didn't install most of the oem cabs is there anything in there that might fix my problem? P.S apps like opera mini and such can connect to the internet fine.

anyone know if anyone else is actively making 6.1 sense 2.5 ROMS? Adrian from Blackout rom just got an HTC Incredible

[zombiegristle]

Unfortunately, I think WinMo 6.1 is going the way of the Dodo. I might've taken up cooking in my spare time, but I'm planning to grab an HTC EVO for my birthday in June.

It's just amazing how much faster his ROM is. I can't use 6.5 for more than a day before I always revert to the 6.1 blackout rom. With sense on it you can't even tell all that much.

Does anyone know how to remove the 1% battery driver from this ROM I feel that it is unnecessary and drains the battery more?
