As I mentioned, the OS version is still 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4). This will be my only work on WM6. Maybe the softwares will still be updated in the future.

I've done those changings:

- Used Adobe Reader LE 2.5 instead of ClearValuePDF, and updated to the latest build 103401.01
- Used Jbed instead of Jblend, and the build of Jbed is 20080610.2.1
- Updated .NET Compact Framework from 2.0 to 3.5
- Updated the Windows Live for Windows Mobile from version 10.6.0033.0600 to 10.6.0034.0800
- Added OneNote Mobile into Office Mobile
- Added China, Hong Kong and other options in Regional Settings
- Removed the HTC Enlarge Start Menu (It will be included again in my WM6.1 modified ROMs)
- Removed .NET Compact Framework v3.5 Messages CHT for Windows Mobile
- Customer Feedback is placed back

My first WM6.1 ROM has been finished. Come here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2503090) if you are interested in it.

Remember, I'm just a beginning-level cook. Please don't just leave swearing posts if there is something wrong:o... Thanks;).

Instruction: Just flash my ROM like what you've done for medkid's.

In my opinion, MWG Atom Life WM6 ROM WWE_020108_B2_DS is a very stable rom. I never find the major problem with this rom before.

However, the only problem that I really concern is the RAM of this rom is too low. So if you can include the RAM management program (Oxios CloseApps) in your rom, that would be good. And if you can make this rom have more RAM, that would be the best.

One more request for you to consider, the software that make flash of ATOM Life to be torch is very useful too.

That all from my side. However, if you just post your rom like you talk. I am also still interesting in your rom.

Thanks, mate. Over 100 views and you posted the first response...

Yes, I agree you point. But my target of cooking is to only make ROMs that very like the official ROM. I won't add anymore other new softwares that do not come from Microsoft or MWg or O2 in order to keep the ROM stable. I will only exchange the softwares that I think they're useless.

Anyway, I'll think about how to reduce more memory consumtion. I've thought about that and you gave me the push. I'll find methods to do that. Thanks mate.

Hi aa125690.

great to hear that we have another budding cook amidst us. Please do post your ROM so that we cn test it and notify you of any bugs or crashes. Together we all can help improve ROM development. As Frioniel said torch and oxios close apps are very important applications. Also please try to reduce the pagepool to increase more free RAM. Personally I never used MWG ROM, because I always go for newer builds :)

Even Medkid's 6.1.0.9 is very stable for me. TM2's 22070 ROM had some issues like restarting when battery nears 40%, lesser battery life.

One more thing, if you could also provide the option for regional settings for many other countries as an add on option later on.

My 2 cents.

I am using T2M's, but no restarting issue. I see that you are using a 4G miniSD. I am wondering if you have any problem like me - when you go \start menu\program\games (I install games on SD card), it will cause the system paused for 2 to 3 minutes, for the first time after soft reset. This applies to all ROMs I have tried. Same thing happens if using file explorer to access the \start menu\program\games folder for the first time after soft reset. However, it will be ok then. It will reduce the pause time to less than a minute for 2G, and un-noticeable with 1G.

Any good idea or suggestion? Thank you.

Same here. Been using v6.1.0.9 for sometime now. Ram and battery is quite important for me. The battery can go down to as low as 9% without shutdown. See screenshot. :)

Because other guys have already posted the modified high-level ROMs, I'll only create stable WM6 and WM6.1 ROMs as unofficial "pre-official(:p)" ROMs at the moment. I'll modify WM6.1 ROMs after that. But I prefer to make the "pre-official" version first.

I use the wince.nls file from medkid's ROM, so if you find the option you want in Regional Settings in medkid's ROM, you won't be failed to find that in mine.

By the way, I'm still doing some update and upgrade works on my ROM. And if anybody has suggestion about where I should upload, please tell me:o.

Maniac2403, thanks for suggestion. I think you could be a cook better than me(maybe you've already been a cook). Rom cooking is a quite easy job if you study and work hard. Really.

I've made a ROM modified from the official MWG Atom Life WM6 ROM WWE_020108_B2_DS. Just changed something necessary in order to make it become more usable and keep it stable. So, the OS version is still 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4). My work on WM6 will always stick on this version, as it may be the most stable ROM for Atom Life.

I've done those changings:

- Use Adobe Reader LE 2.5 instead of ClearValuePDF
- Use Jbed instead of Jblend, and the build of Jbed is 20080610.2.1
- Add OneNote Mobile into Office Mobile
- Add China, Hong Kong and other options in Regional Settings
- Customer Feedback is hided

I'm actually still trying to upgrade the Internet Explorer Mobile from version 7.6 to 7.11, and the Windows Live for Windows Mobile from version 10.6.0033.0600 to 10.6.0034.0800. And I may not work for WM6 anymore after that:). I'll start trying to build WM6.1 ROMs, and try to keep them as stable as the official WM6 ROM at the same time.

Who's interested in it? If someone wants stable ROMs, I'll upload my ROMs:rolleyes:. The one I've just made works stably in my Atom Life.

Remember, I'm just a beginning-level cook. Please don't just leave swearing posts if there is something wrong:o... Thanks;).

Have you tried the Auto Configurator?

Do u come from Hong Kong ?

I want to know that if u have a situation like this: the device becomes very slow after using FM radio for sometime, provided that the device is using official WM6 rom. However, there is no such problem when it is using official WM5 rom.

I have take the device to the CS to check if there is any problem. But they only help me to flash the rom again. The problem still sticks with me.

Anyway, thx for ur great contribution

I've never install programs into my MiniSD card, mate. We have 1GB ROM!

Hehe.. I tried cooking, don't know what went wrong :)
Would try again when I have free time though. I still haven't got how to port my own XIP instead of using other XIP's.

Anyways you can build a 'Vanilla' ROM for Atom Life, as there are none of these kinds.

Regarding upload. Anywhere except rapidhshare :)

Also regional settings are hard to comy by for India :). Any tricks up your sleeve for it ?

Yea I use a 4GB card by Sandisk When I had got the card I had formatted it to Fat32 using a Win98 machine. You know the 'format' in command :)

Normally when I reboot my phone, I remove the MiniSD out of its slot. The delay happens under two circumstances.
1. Programs installed on the storage card
Reading from storage card takes a lil more time as compared to Main memory which is a flash memory. So more the memory more time it would take to sort through all files.

2. Fragmented files on the card
You can plug the card to your home computer and defragment it once in a while. That should speed up performance.

To build a perfect Rom by using jiggs' tools is not enough, ;)

I'm studying how to port XIP too. And what is "Vanilla"? Does that mean something like Manilla? I'll make other WM6.1 modified ROMs as I mentioned.

About uploading, I do that by MediaFire, okay?

The HTC Enlarge Start Menu is very stable for MWg Atom Life ROMs, so I put it into my ROM as it's convenient to have larger area for selecting.

I've done no tweaking for my ROM at the moment. My ROM is now only for the guys(& girls, of course:p) who want the stablest and "pre-original" ROMs.

'Vanilla' means the cleanest ROM. With no extra softwares installed. Not even Voice Command or Voice Dialing. No gimmicks, just plain and fast ROM.

Mediafire is OK. A little slow at times. Checkour turboupload or asaupload.

Enlarge start menu looks nice. But if we install software on Storage card and run them. The next time you reboot enlarge start menu could take some time to load :)

The problem only occurs when the phone reads the icons from the memory card. Once it's done Large Start Menu runs fine. No don't remove it. But you could also keep it as a seperate cab as well.

I'm sorry, as medkid mentioned, the HTC Enlarge Start Menu can only work as OEM package. The CAB version of it doesn't work.

So, as what I said, disable it when you don't want it:). Or would anyone like to set "disable" as its default setting?

No mate, RAM ≠ ROM. You might have a lack of RAM after using the FM Radio whether you have installed any other softwares or not.

I use the FM radio ONLY just after a soft reset, and there is still around 20 mb of RAM after i close the FM radio program. Therefore, I say there is nothing related to RAM. On the other hand, I didn't installed any third party software to the device, so I think there is nothing related to software crash too.

About 20MB after using the FM Radio...

Okay, I have no idea with that. The FM Radio may have some problems itself.

hi aa125690, I'd like to do the same as above. In MWg website, there are three 'countries' available in the ROM download dropdown menu i.e. USA, Europe and Africa. Which one should I download? I'm in Malaysia. I know that I have to copy XDA pass.32 file into the temp folder, but I dont know which ROM to download.
Do you have problem using the MWg ROM on your Asia ATom Life unit?
