[THIS IS THE BEST ROM, I'VE USED SO FAR FOR PRODUCTIVITY AND SPEED AND BATTERY LIFE, ALTHOUGH I JUST GOT MY WEB WORKING AGAIN AND MY BATTERY MAYBE SUFFERING, NOT REAL SURE YET. ANYHOW , THANKS FOR THE AWESOME ROM, IT GOT THE BEST VISUALS I'VE SEEN SO FAR! =D>]
Welcome to my kitchen!
Here's what's on the menu today...
This is an HTC CDMA Diamond ROM, based on Windows Mobile 6.5. The current build number and date can be seen in the title of this thread.
I always build my ROMs with three main goals.
- Eye candy.
- Speed!
- Smoothness, consistency and good esthetics.
I preconfigure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go, how I'd want it. So, expect the backlight to be set at the maximum brightness, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set.
You will find a new ROM posted here every few days, as I always update them with the latest "ingredients" that come down the pipe, from either Microsoft or HTC. Because of that, I recommend learning to backup your settings with either Sashimi or
UC (User Customization).
I usually make 4 versions of the ROM. If you don't see one in the download directory, it either means I haven't uploaded it OR I'm not making one for the current release yet.
Here are the different versions and what they mean.
- "Standard" includes the new TF3D2 (Rhodium Manila) along with the standard Windows Mobile 6.5 today plugin (Titanium) and the Tachi dialer
- "Standard_RD" includes all of the above but with the Regular Dialer (HTC)
- "Titanium" only includes the Titanium today plugin. No Manila in this version. This also includes the regular HTC dialer
- "OldManila" includes the older TF3D Manila (as seen on a stock ROM), plus Titanium. This also includes the regular HTC dialer
