JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM 5-24-10
 

JD's WM 6.5.5 ROM

Because my ROM makes "Sense" ...

About this ROM:

My ROM is designed for the advanced users, who like me enjoys the "Sense 2.5" UI but does not like all of the added crap that come shipped in most carrier ROMs, this ROM is a little more customized than ROMs I posted in the past but not to customized that it cannot be personalized by anyone who uses it. Some of the removed apps can be found attached to this post, and this ROM is "SD Card Auto Installable" if you are familiar with the SDAutorun feature in other ROMs and have a SDConfig set up you should be good to go, if not instructions and a example of an SDConfig.txt can be found below.

Attention:

This ROM is compatible to operate on two seperate networks providing that you have an unlocked radio and your phone is security unlocked:

To switch networks go to your phone settings then select the networks tab use the applet to switch to "GSM only", if your gsm carrier is a popular carrier such as T-Mobile or AT&T for example, Connection Setup will atomatically setup your internet connections for you, if not then go to the connection setup in settings\connections and select your carrier. To switch back to SPCS change your network setting to "CDMA only" then soft reset and your internet connection will return to SPCS.

Warning:

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR PHONE HardSPL'D TO USE THIS ROM, to do this read here:

READ ME: This ROM is designed for everyday use by me. The design of this ROM is "as is" please do not ask about adding or removing a feature or program, as I have the "Now Network (Sprint)" this is who the rom is primarily setup for, other carriers may use it by way of a carrier cab, but support for other carriers if any will be limited....... Enjoy

Using RunCC SD Autoinstall:
To use the SD Autoinstall feature of RunCC you will need to create a file named SDConfig.txt in the root of you SD card then edit this file to point to the directory on your SD card that you want RunCC to install from

Example:

Code:
CAB: \Storage Card\TP2\Cabs\Resco.cabCAB: \Storage Card\TP2\Cabs\Registry.cabXML: \Storage Card\TP2\Initial\RegEdits.xml
Note: All of your .cabs and .xml's need to be marked as read only or RunCC will delete them.


Note this ROM uses a version of WM that may not be compatible with all of your software if you have issues with the position of your app try " Ameba" or "Showcase" for position fix.

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

JD..

Any chance on uploading a version of your ROM for us hard wire usb flashers..??

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

just flashed with no issues.. 92mb program mem free at first boot / 260mb storage mem free. you have this baby trimmed back and running hard... will test on, but wanted to give some quick feedback

i dig the wallpaper also

quick question....

what customer care # is that listed with mem card icon located next to it?

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

WoOt...!!! Im now an official sd flasher... Just completed my first sd flash via WideAwake's app... Im excited... :D JD thanks for providing the .nbh file which by the way is Quietly Brilliant... :wink:

great job...

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

in the future if you want to usb flash, just rename the file to ruu_signed.nbh

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

Then what right click on it all alone w/o the other files that normally comes with it.

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

right click and rename the .nbh file and then drop it in whatever folder you have the tools to flash via usb

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

just a key note since this is a more finger friendly Windows Mobile some of the UI code has changed so some apps may not position themselves correctly also this is a beta version of Windows Mobile 6.5.5 so there may be bugs I uploaded this as a test, right now I'm moving on to working on a Windows Mobile 6.5.3 ROM which is not beta software so if you find bugs that are reasonable post them and I'll try to find a fix

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

add/remove programs has an issue where the background doesnt render sometimes when accessing it. it has been an issue with 6.5.X builds. if you close out and reopen it works. also if you open other cpl items first it works

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

Solid ROM so far. Where are the "OK" and "Start" buttons? LOL maybe that's not included in 6.5.5. I am not entirely up to speed on versions. :)

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

use your hardware keys the "back" button is ok and the "Windows" key is start

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

lol I thought I broke that ... ok will have to add this as a tip

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

LOL I know that...just wasn't sure if they would be on the touchpad or not. Thanks.

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

I also noticed this in all 65x ROMs... Never noticed the back out and go back in fix...thx


I think that is a Brilliant change to things... re: no back soft-button & no start soft-button... Simply Brilliant...!!!


Question:: Any Reg edits or cab to change softkeys on home screen example; Change camera softkey to the lock softkey....?


Feedback:: Everything is running great, nothing outside of the normal 65x buggs.


thx

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

the only softkey on the home screen that can be changed is the left key ... what is it that you want it to do .....

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

The only thing I can think of is "Lock"... Based on a fact of me, I dont use the camera that often...idk

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

here is another one for you...

i installed htc taskmanager (gadgetfreak's taskbar makes it so i can single click to access from taskbar) and have a blue background when i drop down from the taskbar. what key in the .tsk do i need to change to get it to go silver like the rest of the theme?

comparing it to the stock sprint .tsk i see differences in the base colors

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\MultiColorTheme

is that where i need to make the change?

base color 4 is the same, but 1,2 & 3 are different


^

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

ok I'll see what I can do

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

link me to the taskmanager

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

i got it fixed...

this is what i changed it to and now the blue is gone

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\MultiColorTheme]
"BaseColor1"=dword:00c1c1c1
"BaseColor2"=dword:00eaeaea
"BaseColor3"=dword:00666666
"BaseColor4"=dword:00ffffff

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=5...0654b192e70f3f

has the taskbar EXTs also

after a bit more testing i think all i needed to change was base color 3

General Feedback: I just successfully installed Dusk Evo 2.5 v4.0.... On top of CookiesHT...fyi

edit: Dusk seems to have broken the start hardkey... ClearStorage...lol Up until then everything was AOK... Just me trying something, no fault to JD's or his ROM...

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

thanx jd, hit couple extra thanx since thread op seems lite on them.

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

agreed, did the same. Great rom JD.

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

Really like the rom. Very smooth. Only thing I have found so far is I cannot get facebook updates. Login works, they start to appear and then disappear and I get no updates and events. Really only use it for the contact pics, but they are not pulling over. Just an FYI.

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

JD...If you say its Beta than it Beta... But this ROM is running and flowing too good to be Beta software...:D

Re: JD's Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.5 ROM
 

ok i will check that out sometimes you may have to hit the refresh button to get pics it can be sometimey
