Colonel's Custom 3.3 Rom - Page 6

jnixson3 · #51 (**permalink**) 01-27-2007, 12:38 PM

Flawless install, pretty painless... No major hickups so far... Sprint PPC 6700.

After all the comotion of the last week, I have actually begun looking forward to hard setting my 6700... wow, never thought I would say that...

Thanks all for their hard work and input ... Especially:

Mike - for the leading the charge
Helmi_c - for his amazing work on AKU 3.3 for our Apache
and Colonel - this custom rom.

Can't wait to see what comes next...!

This is my 1st ROM upgrade from an almost flawless BellMobility 2.2 implementation
I'd like to throw in my thank you to the Colonel,Mike and of course Helmi the wonder hacker for this and other projects he's involved in.
This is so cool and with the tools and instructions found on this site I think I might just take the plunge and try cooking my own.

Colonel,
I'm planning on taking a couple days off work this week to cook my own ROM. Just looking for some advice here. I want to keep CF2 in and Voice Dialer out, so...
1) should I try to cook from your ROM, removing the items that are there, but I don't want, and adding what I do want
or
2) should I start from Helmi_C's ROM and add in CF2, remove Voice Dialer, and add what I want

If I go option 2, could you pass me some tips on getting CF2 in and Voice Dialer out? That is the method I'm leaning toward right now, as I want the leanest ROM possible, with the tweaks needed to get 3.3 going (pic & vid fixed, etc...) I'll release it publicly for all to try if they choose once I'm done.

I personally would rather just have the X close the apps and not have a "full featured" task manager.
smclose, http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA032810/, does just that.
There's no config screen. Hell, there's no ANY screen. Just run the app and it takes over the X and makes it close apps!

Can this be included in rom in the future?

Also, and I realize this might be asking too much, but can you cook one with MSVC 1.6 in ROM?

Thanks!

I'm also working the ROM Kitchen one Yuma...

.NET2.0 - see http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?opt...4,23392,page=6

About halfway down that page is the .net2.0 OEM package...

Looks like the version Helmi put up does have .NET 1.0 in it, so you'll need to rip that out of OS\f50e9a40-aed9-497a-bdea-84451210e960, I have not done that yet.

You'll also want to figure out which package installs voice dial - I have not found that one yet (but I want to keep that in mine...)

If you go the Rom Kitchen Route, post what you do in this thread:

JKingGrim, I guess I missed that latest version. The one in this rom has been working fine for me so I didn't think you needed any imporvement. I will give it a spin. Don't know how it will play with the one embedded in the rom though.

6700Yuma, hang tight. Either in the Custom rom thread or possibly in a new section I will be posting "modules". These modules will include the files, shortcuts, registry entries, and flashfile entries necessary to install apps. Once these things are packaged up nicely, it should be a piece of cake to just download and cut and paste into the rom.

I will get the .Net CF 2.0 and Voice Dialer stuff posted as soon as I get home. Basically all I did for the Voice Dialer was remove the exe, lnk, and dlls along with registry entries found in the thread "cab to remove voice dialer" or something like that.

Can't put VC 1.6 in a rom since it is not freeware. I guess I could, but I would have to have proof that people owned VC before I would give the rom to them. It is just asking for problems with Microsoft kinda like the issues with the Palm SMS threading app.

Yeah, I will be putting in a close feature. I had tried to get the HTC app from the custom 2.2 rom in this release, but I had some issues getting it to work. I will look at the one you posted. There will definitely be something in the next release to perform this function.

I think posting the modules is absolutely the way to go. Dropping them in the kitchen and flashing looks like it couldn't be any easier.

Fair enough, and true enough.

So, I guess I will await your modules system and try adding a module for VC...

What would it take to get a custom build for me personally? I can even send you my proof of VC purchase!

I just don't know that I have the patience to make my own...

I read somewhere about just installing the apps you want onto your device and making all the desired reg hacks then using wm5 dumper to back it up then making a rom from that.

Or something like that.

Is that something that can be done?

Can I start with the ApacheAKU3.3 on my dev and just add the apps and hacks I want then use the dumper to create the rom?

I realize I sound kinda lame and stupid, but I just don't have the patience to learn the cooker stuff.. I just want it easy!

I love your custom though!
