[ROM][WM6.1][WWE] WM6.1 for Charmer Pure Edition [Update: 2009.01.20]

---

Hi All!

First of all a short story about this ROM:
As a Charmer owner I tried all available WM6/WM6.1 ROM in this forum. All are great, but I wanted to find something like the WM6 Essential edition, but based on WM6.1. Yesterday I decided to cook my own ROM, so I selected ChrBeck's WM6.1 WWE ROM (Thanks for him!) and tried to remove all 3rd party software, but HTC applications.

I also created my kitchen (based on Molski.Biz's Wizard Kitchen - Thanks for him ).
Now, it's only a bunch of scripts, but I'll put together with a short howto and publish it here.

Version History:

v0.3
-------------------------
- Upgraded to .NETCF 3.5 (performance increased significantly)
- Added .NET Configurator
- Registry tweaks regarding performance (caches)

Download here.

v0.2:
-------------------------
- Restored original png/gif files (splash screen, default_stwater, blankbanner, etc)
- Set Windows Default as the default theme (blue)
- Restored original Arcsoft MMS Composer because the integration of the new version failed.
- Added htcutil.dll and Device Information now working
- Translated the rest of the html help files (some were in CHS)

Download here.

v0.1:
-------------------------
- Initial release
- Removed components from ChrBeck's ROM: pocketnotepad, batterybar, psshutxp, HTC Home plugin, HHC, diamond and HTC themes, TFlow
- Updated ArcSoft MMS Composer to 5.0.70.24
- Cleared Extended ROM
- Autorun.exe now in English (removed german mui file )
- Changed boot splash
- Set WM6.1 green as default theme

Download here.

Known issues:
- Still nothing

Instructions:
Download and run self extracting exe. This will create a directory with the ROM image and the required tools. Run Update_ROM.bat and follow the instructions on the screen (if any).
Remember: You have to flash your device back to WM5 before using this upgrade!

Disclaimer: This ROM is not official. You can use it on your device, but I take no responsibility for any damage!

Remark: HTCUtil.dll was removed, because it's already in version 0.2.

Nice to see your first ROM here. I'll test it soon.

Looks sweet Will try A.S.A.P.

Interesting thing happens:
Installed .NETCF 3.5 in version 0.2 and selected as the default NETCF provider. The result is a significant speed gain!
The plan is to integrate NETCF into the ROM...More comes later.

EDIT: Successfully integrated NETCF3.5 and NETCF2.0 with only 1MB memory penalty:

great to see my follower :D

I'm reverting back to charmer, maybe I'll try cooking once more - but untill that, I'll use your rom...go on man

P.S.: IMHO touchflo is todays standard - wouldn't be better to include it? It works really good on chrbeck's rom...

Thanks nocturne.op.15!

I know that almost every ROM includes TF, but I wanted to create a clean and fast version of WM6.1.
Maybe once I cannot optimize my ROM any longer, I'll integrate such kind of tools.

PS.: Nice to hear, that you using my ROM on your charmer...

well, still found two things from chrbeck's rom - ugly (and unusable due to missing smartdial) dialer and calc skin :)

but it's good rom - and a good work, go on with cleanup :)

If you will try to perform extreme cleanup as I did in Essentials, you may find this usefull: http://www.dependencywalker.com/
it works pretty good...

As WM6.5 "released" to public, I will focused on to get WM6.5 running on charmer, so 6.1 pure development stopped for now. (but not forever :) )
