Many people have asked me to provide the ROM that I use everyday. I will post the ROM here for users to try. I am not trying to take credit for anyone else's work by posting this ROM. Let it be known that this ROM was made with the PPC Kitchen using base 20931. I am not taking credit for some incredible ROM that I built from scratch. I want to thank GGuruusa for his help and input over the past couple of years. Also thank you to anyone who had a part in making the Kitchen and/or improving it for the use of the users here. You are welcome to download this ROM for personal use. I will post it on the FTP so the download may be a little slow. I will also post my selections text so that if you want you can save it to the kitchen and add or take away anything you want. If you want to see what is included in the ROM just open one of the selections text and take a look. It will let you know everything that is included. I did not post a selections text for every carrier but the are all identical except for MMS programs.

When you initially install this ROM you will notice a lot of today plug ins on the today screen. Just go to settings>Today>Items and choose which items you wish to have show up on the Today Screen. Uncheck the ones you will not use. Be aware that the more items you have on the Today Screen the less memory you will have. I personally use Today clock and Today Agenda which is included in the ROM. I also use Weatherpanel. It has to be downloaded from here if you wish to use it. You can use whatever you wish on your today screen.

The theme is just the standard theme that loads when you build a ROM from the kitchen without selecting a theme. You can change the theme by going to Start>Settings>today and selecting a them. I use a Diamond theme provided to me by JustPCTech. If you want to use that theme just click the link, download the file to your desktop. Copy the file to a storage card, place the card in your device. Use file explorer to copy the file from your card and past it into the /Windows folder on your device (make sure it is place in the root - /windows). You can also use Active sync to place the file in the windows folder on your device.

If any of you want to post bugs that you find I will attempt to answer your questions but I do not plan to do a lot of changes. I am posting this ROM simply because I have been asked numerous times to build ROMs and/or provide a selections text for my personal ROM.

I use WK Task for my Task Manager. It puts a battery bar over the top bar by default. It can be easily removed by changing the options in WK Task. Just hold your stylus down for a second in the top right corner of the screen and select Preferences. You will find a menu with a lot of preferences you can change.

I did not include HTC Home in this ROM.


*If you choose to try or use this ROM you do so at your own risk. I take no responsibility for damage to your device*

DOWNLOADS:
These files were hosted by PPCgeeks member Passive. Thank you Passive for hosting these files for me.
Verizon Version (with Arcsoft MMS)
Alltel Version (with Arcsoft MMS) Faster mirror download
Sprint (with sMMS)
Cricket (with Arcsoft MMS)
US Cellular (no MMS installed)


The files have to be unzipped. Use 7zip. For some reason winzip will not unzip the files correctly.

To install the ROM on your device:

Your device must be unlocked and have a GPS enabled radio. For more instruction on how to unlock see this thread.
Download and unzip the file for the carrier you use. You should have a file named TITAIMG.nbh. You can place that file on a storage card and flash it using the SD method. I have posted the instructions for SD Flashing Method at the bottom of this post. If you do not have a SD card you can rename the file to RUU_signed.nbh and drop it in a RUU and flash it using a cable attached to your USB. There is a link to a RUU posted below. Just copy and paste the file into the RUU folder and connect your device via USB and flash. I also posted the RUU flashing instructions below. Both sets of instructions are copied from my tutorial.
Don't forget to HARD RESET

Instructions from my tutorial for SD Flashing:

These are screenshots of my ROM.

If you have any questions about unlocking or flashing please see the tutorial posted in my signature.
Enjoy!

Ok i am probably going to look really stupid here, but hey, i am good at it....I have read extensively about how to flash (working on the guts to actually do it) and I think i could recite the process and steps....when I was thnking about it and planning it, i stumbled across something that I cannot find a string for.....how to get my phone number into the new rom.....I am thinking that I have to do ##778 (I am using Cricket) and then fill in the various locatins with my number, mynumber@wap.mycricket.com(or whatever it is) etc etc....bascially i guessthat i am asking is if the ##778 and enter the correct information is how to get the phone then up and running?

Great Rom and instructions GaMedic!!

Just one question regarding the "Messages/Missed Calls" on Today. When I have voice mail and click on this voice mail indicator it causes the phone to dial *86 which isn't correct for me. How do I update this??

Additional Info: I use Sprint PCS and did apply the Sprint specific rom from above. All other features of the phone seem to work great. When *86 is dialed it connects me to a Helio recording by Virgin Mobile. Normally I just dial my own phone number to connect to voice mail, but I haven't found any way to configure the voice mail number of the "Messages/Missed Calls" in the Today app. I'm hoping someone can help.

I am guessing that it can be changed in the registry thought I don't know exactly where. If I find it I will let yu know.

Awesome ROM, GaMedic. One question though: how can I change the ppcgeeks splash screen? I personally love the swedish chef, but it's not my phone.

(edit: I recompiled the rom using Bootsplash Tools. Thanks anyway.)
