Welcome to my kitchen!
Here's what's on the menu today...
This is an HTC Diamond CDMA 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 3 versions of this 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.
- "Sense2.1" includes the new Sense 2.1 along with the standard Windows Mobile 6.5 today plugin (Titanium*) and the Leo dialer
- "Sense 2.5" includes the latest Sense 2.5 homescreen plugin from the recent HTC Leo (HD2) device. If you want more features and more eye candy.. this this the version to try.
- "Titanium" only includes the Titanium today plugin. No Manila in this version. This also includes the regular HTC dialer
You will find TWO core versions of this ROM.
The 21892 Build is from the OEM COM2 Tree and is the most reliable and bug free release. I recommend you start with this first!
The 23541 Build that's the latest in the 6.5.5 series with the Start/Close buttons at the bottom. These builds are not as stable but they reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft.
You can "follow me" on Twitter for
