Which rom for pure windows mobile (stripped of TouchFlo & the like)??

I'm looking to find out which stripped down ROM has the best performance and includes all of the battery / interface tweaks. I have found going with a pure wm6.1 rom to be annoying because the battery / touchflo slider / phone dialer / slide to answer / internet sharing tweaks are not there.

That being said, I also have unexplaneable personal issues (originating for my neeeed for speeeeed) with merely disabling the TF3D on a full-feature rom because then some left-over processes remain (album searcher, htc player, etc).

Does anybody in a similar situation have any favorites, or know of a stripped down rom with a solid & complete wm build?

Yes I like the TouchFlo interfaces, etc, but after a while I tire of TF3D bugs and find myself much more productive with the standard today screen. It's really not worth it for the 'wow' factor (see wow below), and I'm driving myself insane flashing 3 times day (I am getting nothing done at work: damn our proxy for allowing ppcgeeks!).

Anyhoo, i look forward to hearing the responses..

Re: Which rom for pure windows mobile (stripped of TouchFlo & the like)??

What I'd like to see:

WM6.1 w/ IE6 for Sprint
> Slide to answer
> TouchFlo slider for menus, with scrolling tweak
> Battery Performance Tweaks
> Internet Sharing
> Contacts page with vertical a-z quickscroll
> Start-menu recently run programs in the top horizontal icon format instead of listing the names (gotta be a better name for this)
> VoiceCommand 1.6.19209
> Louder volume
> MobileOffice
> Enhanced Power Options

the rest I can install myself

I actually have tried that out, and even used your kitchen with the same sys. I was very impressed, but on the kitchen noticed some heavy battery drain.

While my typical battery discharge current is ~57mA, when I tried cooking up my own I was getting ~131 - 157mA, never below. I will try your clean rom and get you some feedback.

Cheers

Re: Which rom for pure windows mobile (stripped of TouchFlo & the like)??

dcd's roms are very very basic and known to be snappy, even from the Titan days. I've tried both the 6.1 and 6.5 flavors, but they were way too stripped for me. It's likely to require several installs to get it the way you've explained.
