Welcome to my kitchen!
Here's what's on the menu today...
This is an HTC CDMA Raphael/Herman 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(Tianium)
- "Titanium" only includes the Titanium today plugin. No Manila in this version.
- "OldManila" includes the older TF3D Manila (as seen on a stock ROM), plus Titanium.
- "Plain" is a build without manila nor Titanium.
