a custom cooked Lite CDMA HTC Diamond ROM by 2 Bunny
Dear Members,
In a world rapidly dominated by the horrors of Windows Mobile 6.5 and Apple Operating System, the need increasingly arises for the community to have a useful solution to all its ROM needs. I believe the answer to the world's problems (at least on HTC Diamond, anyway) can be found in this thread with a custom ROM I built from the ground up in a modified version of Caulkin's Kitchen called "Elite", which couples Windows Mobile 6.1 with excellent performance, eye candy, goodies, and vast amounts of free space - not to mention low battery consumption. For both brand new users, and veterans to this thread, I have now arranged all releases in
reverse chronological order; this means that starting now, the newest version of Elite will be at the top of the list below, and the oldest will be at the bottom. Each different version in the list below is dictated by a
bold and underlined heading so they can be easily distinguished. Unlike many other ROMs, I do not post the full description and screenshots in the first post of the thread, rather they are in a small .DOC file that you can download with or separately from each ROM version (I suggest you download it separately to save bandwidth).
As of now, these ROMs have been cooked with the Sprint carrier options cooked in, but in the
new release that is NOW AVAILABLE, the ROM will be CARRIER UNIVERSAL!!! This means that it can be used on all the CDMA carriers' Diamonds (not as sure about the Verizon Diamond, I've heard it is a slightly different beast as far as hardware is concerned. I'm not qualified to answer that question; Sorry).
