[03-04-2008] Slim 19199 WM 6.1 Rom

This is basically a clone of Merlin reloaded's slim wm 6.1 however the build has been upgraded from 19716 to 19199. The files were ported from the hermes build and I have verified that internet sharing DOES work on this build unlike build 19716. This build does not contain Merlin's font. The SYS portion is vanilla. The oem portion contains some basic apps such as camera, wm5torage etc.

Nothing has been done to prevent you from dumping this rom and using it as a base. On the contrary I ENCOURAGE you to and will also be including the Slim_19199_Cooking_Kit.zip which contains the ROM, SYS and OEM folders used to help with this.


Application List:

* TodayAgenda
* wm5torage
* HTC Album
* HTC Camera
* Total Commander CE
* BT Explorer
* WiFiFoFum
* Disabled Customer Feedback
* Standard Games
* Office 2007
* Touch Dialer
* Touch Duo Commmgr
* Alt-Tab + Smartskey
* DotFred TaskMgr
* PocketXPDF
* NetworkWizard
* HTC AudioManager
* Btcrawler
* Minimal footprint!
* WLAN G-Mode enabled!
* Touch Scroll only
* Arcsoft MMS

OS only! No EXTROM/IPL/SPL included! This rom does NOT include splash screens 1 and 2 so whatever you are currently using will remain showing.

I do not use file hosting services that penalize the downloader while rewarding the uploader such as rapidshare which is anything but. The oem rom version was not updated but the build # shows 19199.

Update (03/07/08) To those interested in "Activesync over Bluetooth" I am attached a replacement SYS\Bluetooth folder you can recook into the rom which uses a dll from another rom and should enable this functionality. Let me know if it does or does not work for you since I don't use this feature.

For those who don't want to recook you can replace the "bthasplugin.dll" from this package in the \Windows dir and reboot the phone. This has been confirmed to work by user pirlone.

Donations NOT required but always appreciated.

Many thanks for this, I have been waiting for a 'cookable' version of this base ROM
I think I have hit a problem extracting the XIP with this though - it might be me, but when I attempt to extract the XIP is complains about a missing file

Code:

xip2.bin: No such file or directory

I am using the HyperCore tools which I have used before with other ROMs and I don't remember seeing this error previously

It's possible it's just me making a mistake as it is late here and I really should be in bed. I have tried it a few times now and I get the same error each time, I have even re-installed the HyperCore tools...

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Andy

Hypercore does not correctly extract the XIP for wm 6.1 roms. You can either follow the instructions in the hypercore thread on how to use msflshtool to do it or download the cooking kit which includes the XIP already in the ROM folder for you.

Thank you, I knew it was something I was doing wrong.... I must admit I haven't been following the HyperCore thread too closely so I must have missed the posts about it not being able extract the XIP correctly.
Can I still use HyperCore to re-build the ROM or do I need another kitchen?

Does anyone know if VoIP works with this ROM? Is there a package I can add in when I re-cook this?

Thanks

I built the rom using hypercore.... download the cooking kit....unzip the SYS, OEM and ROM folders to your BUILD directory after removing old ones........from there you should be able to do a normal hypercore build. As for voip...youll just have to find or build the oem packages and add to oem folder.

Agree with Pumpiron579

Everything is working - no operating issues whatsoever.



I have only one visual issue, that pops up on some roms - but not on others. There is a white triangle on the top bar beside the "E" icon that does not go away. It just sits there - does not activate anything ??

I've had similar issue with Merlin Rom - and others.

Does not effect any operational functions - just do not know what it is - or what it is supposed to do.

Very nice rom - thank you

Have a good one

If the "white triangle" is sitting above the strength meter lines it's an antenna...you can disable it with a regedit I think. It may indicate roaming.

Thanks again. I noticed in the Hermes forums that Faria has released a ROM based on 5.2.19199 and he lists VoIP as being included. Does anyone know if the VoIP components he used are updated? Will they work on the Wizard or do I need to extract the older drivers/files that have been floating around for a while?

Thanks

Since I don't use VOIP all I can suggest is that you try it. OEM packages should work almost everywhere. To my knowledge VOIP is NOT part of the SYS Hermes build which means he added it.

This may be out of place to ask here but I'm going to anyway.

I currently using merlins rom on my wizard and I am downloading this rom to flash. Do I need to flash my rom back to an original rom before flashing to this rom? Do I directly flash to this one? Or do I go all the way back to square one including downgrading my IPL/SPL and GSM? Thanks for any help and sorry if it is out of place to ask here.

It's always a good idea to flash a provider rom first to wipe out any "extended rom corruption" which can cause the battery to drain faster due to the phone trying to read an area over and over. When in doubt browse the "how to flash a rom" sticky at the top of the forum which has alot of good information.
