[PRJ][ROM][CDMA]Rhodium Elite Project - RC1

Hey!!! We’re back! We got such a good response from our last few projects that we wanted to move forward with an Elite Team HardSPL and ROM for the CDMA Touch Pro 2!!! This is the official thread and all official announcements, updates and releases will be done here or linked from here to other threads, when necessary. If it doesn’t come from here it’s not official and you deal with it at your own risk.

NOTE: This project will be better organize. With the Raphael CDMA ROM project, we had two members almost out of commission due to life issues. 1, Ltxda’s daughter passed away and that in itself was hard for him to deal with even though he was still trying his best to stay in the game and 2, the cook was having some personal obstacles that threw him “off balance” but now he’s back and doing better. That said, we’ve reorganized, learned from the obstacles we had to overcame and have new cook that’s ready to kick some butt. We’re also, soon to, implement tentative deadlines to ensure everyone is on the same page and will communicate more closely with the community. That’s how we do it in this team…admit when we trip, get back up, identify ways to fix it and try not to let it happen again then move forward stronger than before. Isn’t that how we all work? :)

::Initial Project Goals::
- HardSPL!
- Better Device Experience: Produce an "out-of-the-box" ROM for professionals/power users with...
- Increased functionality: Release a fully loaded ROM and a vanilla ROM. The project's RC releases will be fully loaded. I believe that if you test a fully loaded ROM and optimize it very well, when you strip the excess baggage it'll perform that much better.
- More stable: Release a ROM that is more stable than the stock, not too difficult to do, but ensure the stability is there when you have to push your device.
- Enhanced Memory Management: Ensures you can push your device when you need to without out of memory problems. Not always 100% possible due to third party product flaws but we do our best.
- Superior Battery Life (not always possible but we're going to give it a good go at it)
- Boost speed: When you want the device to respond it better.

::What we need from the community::
- Donations: As with all of our other projects, we'll need donations to get devices to make this happen. We need enough donations for 3 devices. The team is spread out around the planet so we can’t easily work together on the same device. Many of you know the team from interacting with us on projects related to the Athena, Shift, Raphael (GSM & CDMA), Rhodium (GSM), etc. If you need a reference check out our other projects and what others have to say. Our ROMs aren't for everyone but those that are looking for a better and more functional experience often choose the Elite end product for their needs.
- Involvement: Your involvement is imperative to the project's success. We want feedback, suggestions and lots of testing. We want the ROM to be put through the paces and for the community to report real world issues. We want your suggestions as to what freeware is useful to you and why. We include a good deal of freeware for much more functionality than a stock ROM but there are many products out there that we haven't come across, this is where the community support helps.
- Help Others: Help answering questions for those new to the community or Windows Mobile devices or HTC devices for that matter. Help directing people to the answers so the core team can focus on continued development efforts, etc.

...more to come soon...
