WM 6.5.3 i8000KC23090A5 Lite ROM with BT voice dialing (Thai/Eng version)

Microsoft just released an official WM 6.5.3 ROM and I think it's worth to cook a ROM based on this official ROM. I made this a new thread specifically for WM 6.5.3.

I intended to make this Lite ROM for my own use and for Thai users especially in the PDAMobiz i8000 board. However, I think it would be better if it is useful for non-Thai.

- i8000KC28205Neo_lite
- i8000KC23090_lite
- i8000KC23090A5_lite

Note:
- This is a Lite version. Don't expect >200 MB storage memory like RFD's UltraLite ROM.
- Hardreset after flash is highly recommended.
- Classic Blue theme is recommended and softreset is needed to get all icons and functions.
- Most safe if you flash with sorg's Octans mini and use this nb0 file only.
- This ROM can be used with English and Thai CSC only. If you have deleted your old CSC, please flash it back. Note the Thai/Eng Keyboard when you use Thai CSC. I believe Samsung Keyboard will exist if you use English CSC.
- The only reason I use Rapidshare for upload is I'm a premium user. I have plenty of space and links can retain foreever as long as there is someone downloading. Most importantly, you don't have to wait a second to download like other free website. I usually monitor my downloads so it would be nice to avoid mirrors. However, I allow mirrors but will not update them here.

Thanks to:
- secany for ROM upload
- rodrigofd and wes who initiated this customized ROM project
- wes for his suggestion on relocation
- hdubli for his introduction to ExtReloc tool
- pako777 for his great i900executor
- gig and those Chinese cookers for first ROM customization and tools
- sorg for his dump tool and information

WM 6.5.3 i8000KC23090 Lite ROM with BT voice dialing (Thai/Eng version)

There is still no other fast input method like "Block Recognizer or Letter Recognizer" in addition to the Samsung keypad. KC cooks great ROMS. I wish he could preserve at least another input method in addition to the Samsung Keypad. Thanks for your ROMs

[kydkylin]

Wow,how fast!
I love your cooked ROM very much and still use the 28205.Maybe I should try the 23090,for it's MS's official release.
Thanks again for your great job!

has the new keyboard

[Lancez]

@ Dr.KC

i have noticed that with showcase, when i setup password for WM lockscreen then restart the phone, it hangs. nothing works after that. might wanna left it out in the next built.


i just got a small program called Xhook ( thanks to Kydkylin for sharing ), very useful and almost RAM free. it actually close any running apps by tap on "X" in any 6.5.x builts and even displays running app's icon on taskbar. u can just simply copy a .ink into windows\start up folder, it'll be good to go.


for the rest guys who wants to try it out, simply copy it anywhere on ur phone then make a .ink in windows\start up folder then restart and enjoy.

For those who want to try this, just remove the showcase shortcut in /windows/startup folder and copy this xhook.lnk to this folder instead. Leaving showcase in your ROM won't make any effect if you don't run it from the startup folder.

As i dont find .csc file here,can i use secany .csc JA5 file along with this PDA file ? or flashing PDA alone would be better? THank you

[dande]

KC, please leave other languages keyboards in your rom.

That's an important factor for people other than Thai and English speaking to be able to use your marvelous job build in your roms.

Thanks

[corny2007]

Dear Khuanchai,

Thanks for the latest ROM!

Do you know how this build relates to 28008, 28205 etc, which is newer?

Secondly, do you plan to release a JA5 version? There are reports of more free RAM; a total of 144.17 MB available for the device?

Cheers,

James

Dear Dr KC

Can I ask as to which one is the newest and the best build user point of view.there are many out there .build no. confuses me .

is build 28008,or 23518 or 23090 which is the newest and best build. after your answer i will download and flash the new ROM.

Thank you very much for your great work and help.

[Khuanchai]

Friends,

Understood for the confusion on ROM build numbers. Microsoft releases WM 6.5 for several vendors and they can develop ROM for their own devices. So you can see a minor changes with different development trees (so-called COMx trees).

Briefly,

COM2, 21xxx = 6.5.0 the newest build is 21889
COM3, 230xx = 6.5.3 the newest build is 23091
COM5, 235xx = 6.5.5 the newest build is 23518
COM6, 236xx = 6.5.3 the newest build is 23614
COM8, 28xxx = 6.5.3 the newest build is 28205

All of these 6.5.x builds are still in Beta stage but now the 23090 is considered an official build because Microsoft just released it in sdk.

Hope this helps.
