[Updated 1/15/08] Pandora Naked 6a ROM

[mattk_r]

NOTHING IS EVER FINAL!!!

Here's my Naked 6 ROM with the following:

Windows Mobile 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1620 Build 18128.0.4.4
Camera 4.0 build 28276
Arcsoft MMS 4.2.8.1
Internet Sharing
10 Button Black Comm Manager
Comm Manager Vibe Toggle
PreConfig launches SetHSDPA & SetAccousticParameters.

Points to note:

6.0 Does not include the scroll speed increase. See post 168 for the registry changes.

Button 5 is mapped and ready to use / PTT is disabled

The Big Storage versions use Bepe's Big Storage OS.nb/XIP v3.60 and is based on a stripped version of austinsnyc Lite ROM (with permission - thanks dude!) - which was from the original 3.62 AT&T release.

The non big storage roms use the 3.62.3 base OS.nb/XIP.

It does not launch extended ROM or storage card installations, nor does it include a radio, IPL/SPL, splash screens, extended rom, or anything else. JUST THE OS.

Memory Details:

W/Big Storage
Storage Free: 78.7
Program Free: 31.10
(Launcher and poutlook.lnk removed from /Windows/Startup - nothing installed, after reset/fully rebooted and all programs killed)

I would recommend you install the .NET Framework after flashing, as I did not include 2.0 or 3.5 in the base and some programs you install / use may require it to work. See the next post for links / downloads.

Why? I wanted a super stripped and fast base to add my cabs to with a crapload of storage. I don't have the time to keep tweaking my custom rom configuration, so this will give me the most flexibility and performance.

Using KarhU's stats, I put together this build based on performance statistics. It's clean and fast - and should run as fast (if not faster) as the best one's out there.

Here's KarhU's great thread on benchmarking. I've learned a lot from his work - it's an excellent asset for tuning

KarhU's Benchmarking Thread

Note too that I didn't include the .rgu files. Please use the kitchen if you want to use the components / build your own.

Known Issues / Fixes:

• None

History

Pandora 5 to 6.0 - for big storage, removed the file OEM_FLASHDRV.DLL
Kitchen 6a to 6b - added scroll speed increase

I sure hope this is the last rev, I gotta get the laundry folded and the house vacuumed before the wife really gets pissed

As long as I didn't re-introduce the PIE issue, I'm pretty solid this is a good setup. Everyone's feedback on 4U went into it. The only outstanding question is the data auto-disconnect, but I don't think that'll warrent a rev at this point.

Minor bug/weird feature - comm manager button is vacant - without a shortcut - is it like this by design?
