I'll have to see if this really works. I have had a lot of people asking about the weather plugin lately and if a reg change fixes it I'll have to cook it into the next build.

fixes the weather in the HTC Home plug-in.

(If I read it right, it's a hosts entry that you need to delete).

Thanks again for a great ROM.

Well, I just cooked a completely stock WM6 ROM for Apache. Only extra things included are MMS (for selected carriers), Adobe Reader Lite, Java Midlet Manager, and some very small tweaks of my own aside from what the kitchen offers.
Couldn't pay my high-speed internet bill this month so I'm stuck with my Apache for a modem. So let me know if anybody is interested, I don't want to waste my time at a hotspot or using my Apache to upload it if nobody is going to use it, so let me know.
Also, I really like this ROM, I set the pagepool to 4mb which has worked great for me so far. Without all the EXTRA programs and a little more program memory my device seems to be a lot faster and more stable. The added plus of having a complete stock ROM is also the ability to easily add whatever version of whatever program(s) you prefer that would otherwise be "cooked" into the OS. For example a lot of people were having problems with the HTC Home Plugin and HTC Home Customizer. Well, now you can just install your own version, and personally... I think it works out a lot better that way. I have never been a big fan of really anything besides OEM software cooked into my ROMs, that's just me though...

wow -- another ROM to test for Christmas -- that's awesome -- i am definitely interested! i must inquire, where can i find the HTC Home plugin and customizer -- the FTP site is hard to navigate these days . . .

also -- what does the pagepool size do?

what does your memory turn out to be after a fresh install? (storage and program)
and also what do you install typically on top of that -- (like HTC stuff)
can we get a list of what's included on ver. 8? verizon specific is one of the choices, i assume?

sorry for all the questions -- pretty excited as you can tell

You can find HTC home plugin on xda-developers in .cab form.

Pagepool size determines the size of the pagepool

pagepool is a cache for executable program. The more software you tend to run, the larger you want your pagepool. The downside is that it takes away from program space. You'll know when you don't have enough pagepool - you get all kinds of flaky errors/problems that a reset seems to cure, temporarily.

I think Rob said that Ver 8 was truly going to be Clean & Simple - minimum extra crap. Just the basics of WM6 + a few tweaks and obligatory add-ons. If you habitually/want to install a bunch of stuff on your phone beyond basic WM6, you should consider using the kitchen instead of a C&S rom. C&S Roms are supposed to optimize stability by sacrificing features - if you're adding features, your defeating the whole point of C&S.

I am also getting the error on restart SDDAEMON.EXE unable to load. Also, I cannot start my contacts. In my programs, I have Contacts and Contacts (1). Same for Calendar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Exactly, this is really going to be the bare minimum in R8, which is actually a good thing... for the C&S fans of course. But like gguruusa said, if you want a bunch of stuff beyond the WM6 basics pre-loaded on your device then go ahead and use the kitchen.

Rob where can i find this new no junk ROM to try out?

RHMJR · #8 (**permalink**) 12-19-2007, 09:20 PM

Would be interested in trying out this ROM, where can I download?

Have tried a few varieties of WM6 ROM pre-cooked and using kitchen and keep encountering very little program memory available on my XV6700 when all's said and done. Under WM5 Program Memory ran in the high 50% used range, under WM6 I'm running high 60's, with frequent spikes to 70+% used. System seems fine overall, but would rather have more program memory availalbe.

Argh, sorry, didn't know you could use the search function in Threads! That said, does anyone know how I can go about finding this registry and deleting it?

Thanks!

Hello everyone,I haven't been around for a while however I do have some good news for my ROM users, and that is I will be releasing build 8 soon.I know that I mentioned a 100% stock ROM a few posts ago however I decided not to go for it. The HTC Home plugin, Audio Manager, MMS, ect. are just to big to install into program memory afterwards, so I kept them in the ROM. So what I did do in build 8 is re-standardized the directory structure, removed some 3rd party apps, fixed the HTC Home weather issue, fixed slow scrolling in PIE, returned the dialer to WM6 stock, added new sounds and changed default sounds, and more. I also gave it a 6mb pagepool, and this will give you a little more program memory.Anyway, it is still in testing and I will release it as soon as I can. Thank you all for your support!
