Suggestions wanted for when I cook a new Rom

[molski]

When AKU3.2 gets stable I will make a new Rom, or maybe there will be some adjustments to my 2.26.10.2 Roms if someone discovers something really cool like reducing the PagePool for more free Ram.

But for now, I would like to know what you people think what programs are missing in my Roms.
I DO NOT add programs to it that are used only by some people, I would only like to add programs that are used by almost everyone in the community!

For now, I am thinking of adding the following programs:

For sure:
- .NET Compact Framework 2 (although it requires about 5MB on Main Memory)
- Signed_CameraPatch_ov9650.sa.cab (definitely better then the standard camera driver!)
- MMS Folder CAB file

- 2.47.11 Radio Rom (a lot of people say that this Radio Rom performs better then the Cingular 2.25.11 Radio Rom, read the thread about this Radio Rom here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279380))


Maybe:
- SMSDRFix (SMS Delivery Report Fix), because I use it A LOT (and you all know...until know I build my Roms the way I like them the most!)
- Intent Midlet Manager (although I do not use it myself!)
- PPCContactsMgr 1.2 (for selecting multiple contacts, on my existing Roms there is also a plug-in for "Save as First/Last Name", so also this one looks useful to me)
- Null Keyboard (avoids keyboard pop-up, if you don't use it you also will never notice it, it's not a program, just an option for your keyboard settings)
- SipChange (to set a default keyboard)

What do you guys think?

how about including the cab file that adds mms folder as well?

[baarod]

MMS is generally pretty carrier specific. That might be problematic give that Molski's ROMs are carrier agnostic.

[vseehua]

well, the one from molski.biz just gives a generic sample server settings, i think if we can manage to unlock our CID, i wouldn't be so difficult to alter the mms server settings =)

thanks for listening=)

[jubanet]

is there any flash player?!? if positive that's a good stuff to be added...

I never use Flash, so I am not putting that in my Roms ;)

The MMS folder installation has nothing to do with MMS settings, you still need to install (or add manually) specific settings for your provider.
This is a good one, I will add it to the list of apps.

What about WM5torage? That way there's no need for Activesync or looking for a miniSD to SD adapter and a card reader...

At least I use that program a lot... Don't know how useful it is for other people...

In fact I use WM5torage a lot also, but I developed a little CAB for WM5torage and DeviceLock mapped to the VoiceDial button, because that's the way I use it. The file is available on www.molski.biz, I will copy and paste some info of the cab file here:

---------
This program installs the full versions of WM5torage 1.60 and DeviceLock,
including shortcuts for both programs and the DeviceLock Control Panel.

It remaps DeviceLock to hardware button 4, the VoiceDial button (single press).
It remaps WM5torage to hardware button 4, the VoiceDial button (long press/hold).

I made this program because I never use the VoiceDial or Record functions of the button, but I often use DeviceLock (and hate it to have it as an item on the Today Screen) and WM5torage and wanted some quick shortcuts to it (but not on the Today Screen...).

p.s. So I don't think I will put it in my Roms, simply because I would wreck my own installation and have to use a work around myself for WM5torage, so sorry.

How about overclocking, I can't imagine using it as is.

Then I will add BatteryStatus, because that is what I use to run my Wizard @240Mhz.

Hi Molsi,

What I would like is a complete *clean* rom as if it came out of the HTC or QTek departments. Might there be a version like that too? Ah, asjeblieft...? :)

Many thank for you work so far, keep up the good work!

Cheers,
Cacti

pls dnt add OC apps in the ROM,bec some of us use omapclock plus,better to have our own choice of choosing,better put it in the EXT_rom so that incase they dnt like it,they can easily erase it. also if you can add TALKING ALARM,this way better, shouting what's the time already, and SMARTKEY too(oh! i forgot,this already putted in the ROM 2.26.102.

so when can we XPECT the AKU 3? hehehe

[Mdesign]

Molski first of all thanks for the hard work and great support.
I don't think that you must put any software on the rom.
Everybody has there own "need".
If people want software on it they download it.
The power of the rom is the speed, so please keep it that way.

Thanks (bedankt)

[molski]

You got a good point there!

Maybe I just will create an "extra" Extended Rom with a few apps in it that are must-have. It's no big deal of flashing an new Extended Rom after a Rom upgrade onto your device ;)
But I am sure that I will add 3 new cab files to my new Roms...the 3 cabs listed in the 1st post (and also maybe smsdrfix, cause I also always deliver my Roms with SMS Notification on and for that little setting smsdrfix is a must-have app ;) ).

You're right...I don't add overclocking because some people do not use it and if they use it there are several ways to do it, so people have to just install this manually.

Talking Alarm is not so useful for me, I am dutch and I doubt that Talking Alarm says the time in dutch :)
And in the morning I am too sleepy to understand english :P

When I am starting to read things about a stable and 100% working AKU3.2 Rom (on every AKU3.2 Rom I tested my WiFi does not connect to my router with WPA-PSK/TKIP) I will take my hands on it ;)

when will we see real 3.2 AKUs for wizard? As far as I know, the 3.2 roms here are actually 2.26 roms with 3.2 features grafted in...

Yeah...you are right...I think we just will have to wait until T-Mobile or Cingular releases an AKU3.2 Rom (without bugs...).

Add Total Commander. That's all I can think of... I hate when ROMs come with lots of stuff.

[wizzzard]

My must haves are as follows.
1 Smartskey
2 Total Comander
3 WM NewMenu

[jorge_culv]

Molski--thanks for your hard work, and also for asking for input! Would you consider updated ROMs without IPL/SPL? My thought is the less we screw with those, the better. As long as you post a warning that the user must have a 2.x IPL/SPL then its OK not to have them as part of your OS upgrade. Just my thoughts

[molski]

My must haves are as follows.
1 Smartskey
2 Total Comander
3 WM NewMenu

1) Already in my Roms
2) Don't use it (I preffer Resco File Explorer)
3) Don't use it, don't need it!

People,

Please read the 1st post of this thread, I added some "for sure" and some "maybe" programs for my Roms....I just want to hear some feedback about them ;)

How about Magic Button? I found it very useful for me.

MagicButton is not used enough for inclusion into my Roms.
I had it installed, just for testing and I did not like it, so I don't gonna include it.

Would there be any way to have a Rules type generator, meaning if you get a specific text msg from some one and you have a rule setup for them to go into a specfic folder ?

As in Outlook I dont know if WM5 is capable although

[jorge_culv]

My must haves are as follows.
3 WM NewMenu

Don't think this can be added to any Extended ROM as it requires user feedback when it installs. My understanding is that only cabs that don't require any user input (with the exception of install location to device or storage card) can be put into the extended ROM. I like this program too! Another option would be to include it in the extended ROM but not in the config.txt so it won't install by default (and crash), but at least would be there 1 click away from having you install it....

A query/suggestion.

Having upgraded to your 30mb g3 rom, I have one problem:

The icon that used to show the sideways arrows, or circling arrows when activesync was syncing now just shows a big G no matter what is happening.
It behaves correctly on wifi, but not on GPRS.

I liked the old arrows (on a 2.16 imate rom, but also on older tmobile roms) and wonder if there is some way to get them back?

you can add as many things you want in the ext rom (well up to around 10meg anyway) but as long as you dont add them in the config.txt they dont install during the autorun process... What your asking for is what daz&sho ext rom installer does already, and molski has already pm'd me about that

[vettejock99]

I like all the cabs listed in the OP, including the "maybe", FWIW.

[molski]

Please....I need some more suggestions / feedback from you guys ;)

My "must have" program:

1. Alt-tab.exe - set it on hardware button to sawitch between the applications

2. VjToggleToday - 16% more Today screen!

3. Pocket RAR - very useful

Best regards
