Noobie ROM v0.5 beta

As the release title says, this is my first ROM. Still learning, but hopefully, this should be a pretty solid, fast, stable ROM. Any and all suggestions, advice and critques are very welcome and actively solicited. I want to stress that I would not really call myself a ROM "chef." I'm more of a tinkerer, and have built on the work of Calkulin, Welrope, Maxcy, and many, many, many others in these forums who have provided me with tips, suggestions, workarounds, advice, help, resources and knowledge.

For the design principle, I have tried to keep everything pretty basic, with very little cooked in to the ROM. Basic theme as well, so you should have many, many options to customize you phone to your liking.

Built with Calkulin's VK.

Carrier: ONLY for Sprint right now.

SYS: 21057 (windows Mobile 6.1)

Manila version: 2016

MaxSense version: 1.04 (See thread here for information on MaxSense)

Includes: Resco Explorer (need to have licence key for registration)
Google Maps
QuickMenu
Enlarge Start Menu
Arcsoft MMS
Calculator
Wi-Fi Router
Long Press End Key
psShutXP for Power Button
Voice Recorder
In Call Recorder
daLauncher
ChainFire Video Driver (D3D)

Tested and working:
1) SMS
2) MMS
3) GPS
4) Data/Phone
5) Location services
6) CoPilot and iGo, both with TTS

Should be working (thought not tested):
Tethering - tethering per se works, and is enabled in stealth mode. However, till my next Sprint bill rolls around, I cannot be sure that stealth mode is working Use at your own risk. You might want to install tethering fixes found in various places on this forum.

Known issues:
1) No wallpaper included in MaxSense. Everything will look a little weird, text is invisible, etc., till you add you own wallpaper to MaxSense. FIXED.
2) While adding songs to a playlist, you can only add songs sorted by artist.FIXED.
3) You need to enable QuickStart by running it once.
4) Only the stock MS keyboard is included. This keyboard sucks. You should install your favorite keyboard.
5) VoiceCommand is not working, for some reason. Trying to sort this out.FIXED.

By the numbers:
1) Boot-up time - ~70 seconds
2) Free RAM at boot - ~108 Mb
3) Free RAM after my personal customizations - ~100 Mb
4) Free RAM after one day of use - ~80Mb

README!
As usual, no warranties/guarantees of any kind. ROM flashing has risks, and if you brick your phone, I am not responsible! Please read the various stickies/threads on how to flash your ROM, make sure your phone is unlocked, and please, please, please read up on the things that can go wrong with flashes and how to fix them. I strongly recommend using a flash with Task29 (here) to clean up your phone before flashing this ROM. Especially true if you are switching from a 6.5/6.5.x build to this ROM.
