[ROM][WWE]WM6.1 19965_Asus P565 Lite ROM

[rishi2504]

Hi Friends,

Basically, it is a stripped-down version of the shipped Asus P565 India ROM. I have tried to remove whatever I could, from the OS and ExtROM partitions.

ROM Link - http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=9547fa0bd70d84778ef1259ff1b60e81e04e75f6 e8ebb871


Here are the details of this ROM :
OS : WM 6.1 Professional
Build : 19965.1.2.3
Bootloader version : 3.36
Base ROM : V6_12_0_WWE00_IND00_V2_10_0(Asus FTP) - 28-Apr-09
Storage Memory : Total ~142 MB, In Use ~ 6 MB, Free ~136 MB
Program Memory : Total ~90 MB, In Use ~33 MB, Free ~57 MB

Thanks :
Many Thanks to 'starkwong' for providing the ABI compile/decompile tool.

Here is what I have removed so far :
1. Asus Today
2. Ezimusic
3. Eziphoto
4. Asus WMP Skins
5. Asus Dialer Themes
6. Asus Today themes
7. All Ringtones & Sounds(Asus)
8. Google Maps
9. Call Filter

Further items which could be removed :
1. Windows update
2. Theme Manager
3. Welcome Center
4. Slideshow
5. .NETCF2.0 - Remove and replace with the latest version.

There could be more, just a list to start with...

Please feel free to download & modify the contents of this ROM. Let me know if you face any bugs. I am using this on my phone for the last two days and haven't found any issues so far.

P.S. : Do not change the name of the .abi file. Just extract, copy to your storage card and flash.

cheers,

Wow, great job, thanks! That's plenty of storage.
Would be bice to also remove UrTime, Asus Zip (worst unzip utility I've seen), Remote Calendar (goes away like Google Maps).
And, is there a way to free up some more RAM?

Good Work :)

Awesome work Rishi!!
Are there plans for an another lite release ?
thanks

I modified rishi2504 Rom. I removed UrTime, Asus Zip and Remote Calendar. I udpated .NETCF and SqlCeMobile to 3.5 version.

Thanks buddy, you saved me some flashing attempts....but a few questions :
1. Does the ExtROM Installer run successfully ( without any message "Installation failed !") ?
2. Does the Internet Explorer run without any problems ?
3. Are all shortcuts for other Programs and Control Panel Settings(Personal/System/Connections) there? ( You may lose some while removing some programs).
4. Does adding .NETCF 3.0 result in any improvement in performance ? - I tried adding it but didn't see any difference in performance.

Anyways, thanks for taking it forward.... I am waiting for an official 6.5 update. Will produce the next lite version only after that...

cheers,

And one more question: how much RAM/ROM available after flashing?

1. yes (I didn't modify extrom from your ROM)
2. I'm not using internet explorer (iris rules), so I didn't check it in "normal" web browsing, but sometimes when I need to use IE, it works well.
3. yes
4. I didn't benchmarked my device yet, but in normal using I think that there is a little improvement in performance

And one more question: how much RAM/ROM available after flashing?
The free RAM/ROM space is the same like it was in original rishi2504 ROM.

[poenq]

Could anyone kindly explain how to flash this ROM?

[ginkage]

Simple. Put it on a microSD card, then hold navipad Down and press Reset.

[ginkage]

One questoin: how do you edit ExtROM? What tool do you use?
Upd: Ah, never mind: I used the wrong .img file, so Winimage didn't work. Though, it worked on the right file. :)

Great ROM guys. LOVE the lite version janekiwan! Thank you both.

[farshid.tavakoli]

Since I've installed this ROM I can't answer the incoming calls with call button. Is there any fix for this bug?

thanks,

Installed this rom a week ago (modified by janekiwan) on russian P565.

Flwaless!

The only one little problem i found - is absence of "Device lock" option in today screen (Start-->Settings-->Personal-->Today-->Items-->DeviceLock), which can be solved by adding to the registry of the following lines:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Device Lock"]
"Options"=dword:00000000
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Order"=dword:00000008
"Selectability"=dword:00000002
"DLL"="shutil.dll"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004


Thanx for a great rom!

BTW Does anyone know, will there be further versions of wm6.5 with 6.1 interface? The home screen and start menu of 6.5 drives me mad :eek:

[o2xdazest]

[ThrashMan]

Yes....P565 and Zest share same ROMs. There are a number of other P565 ROMs in the forums....have a play :)
Don't forget...if you break your phone flashing a ROM.....it's your fault ;)
