GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Sorry to add a doublepost here, but after some slight tweaking, I now have a working Lite concept ROM built in the OMJ kitchen. I am currently in the process of getting it back to where we were at before, but with this I have discovered a nice ~100MB of free space total (subject to change based on tweaks and fixes).
You see, over the past couple of days, I have been experimenting with ROMs in that kitchen and am now reaching a point where we could conceivably end up with a working ROM within the next couple of weeks (I know it seems like I say that "every couple of weeks", but I'm quite positive we may have a winner this time. If you are new to this thread, this will make more sense to you if you read post #1 (which I update regularly), then
Bugs remaining include (but are not limited to):
FlipIt not working out of the box, requires CAB installation
Comm Manager has text about 10 sizes too big
Start Menu Programs folder has 5-10 unnecessary subfolders with 2-3 default applications shortcuts in each instead of all programs being in the root of the "Programs" folder (obvious exceptions to this include Office Mobile, Games, and Tools, the only subfolders that "Programs" really needs).
Rhodium PhoneCanvas Not rendering right at all. Mostly unusable unless the numbers you are trying to call were recently called or are your contacts.
Small environmental details (device does not automatically power on and unlock when you remove the stylus, screen does not dim in bright light).
The Repair of All of these items are currently being pursued by me or I am waiting for responses in various threads on various sites. For now, I think I can handle FlipIt and the PhoneCanvas on my own. I would also take care of the shortcuts in the "Programs" subfolders, but I'm guessing the folders would still be there (?).
At any rate, I'm sure it'll get all worked out fine. If anyone wants to help in any way (finding solutions to some burning OMJ Kitchen related questions), you are welcome to do that, or you can just relax, back up your contacts/tasks/call history/smses/etc in PIMBackup and get ready for...

PS: After looking at the calendar, October 10th (10/10/2010) may be a good day for release if I can get it done that early.
