Colonel's Custom 3.5 Final Roms and Kitchen Patches
 

Well, with the release of the 3.5 kitchen and the fact that my rom is pretty much full, I figure that it is about time to wrap this up. I may decide to go in a different direction with another rom, but I think this one is pretty much done.

Here is a list of what is included in the roms themselves:

Custom Wait Icon (can be changed from this thread)

Add Ringtone app
Clear Temp
Contacts Manager
CycleBT
Device Lock
DictEditor
Extended Rom is unhidden and can be unlocked with the included app
File as First Last (for saving contacts)

Mark All as Read

The Sprint versions also include the Sprint ExtRom built in. The other versions should allow for the carrier cabs to be installed from the ExtRom if necessary.

As before, you can put the folder on the root of your SD card named Boot. In this folder you can place your VoiceCmd.exe, PIEPlus.dll, and a you can edit the Custom settings cab and edit the config.txt. Also included in the Boot folder is a copy of the PIM Backup app that you can put on your device and run before flashing to backup your stuff.

As far as the patch goes, when you download the 3.5 kitchen it should have a file called CBOW. Delete everything in this folder and replace with the contents of the patch RAR. Then click on the patch.bat and it should copy everything you need into the kitchen. Thes patches will bring the kitchen up to my roms. So, if you patch the kitchen and make a rom without making any changes, it should look like my rom. The patches also contain a copy of the Boot folder that can be placed on the SD for customization. However, if you are cooking your own rom, this may not be necessary since you can put the necessary files into the proper OEMs and you can edit the config.txt in the Customize OEM to install cabs.

Standard rules apply when flashing a rom. Make sure you backup all of you data. Then place the phone in Bootloader mode by pressing the Notes (Cassette on left, top) button, the Power button, and reset. The screen should darken and say Serial. Connect to your PC and it should say USB. Then run the installer. Once completed, make sure you do a hard reset. This is done by pressing both soft keys and the reset button. The screen should turn white and prompt you to press "Y". Also, these insturctions are part of the installer.

Updated the first post with login info.

Colonel,

Thanks for all the good stuff you've done for us with these roms. I started my rom adventures with your first 3.3 release. I'm currently updating to your 3.5 final of the non-sprint rom. This has come a long way from those first releases. You deserve a big thanks!

Colonel,

Is the spinning wait symbol (currently the yin/yang) changeable? I'd like to go back to the default if possible as it matches my theme better.

Thanks again,
Chris

yes it is. Updating first post with info.
