WOW I know that in "taste" is quite a personal option,
but I would have to say
EDIT: "that if you want to use CHT 2.0 final (when it is released) and a nice THEME try this one ONLY when it has been released for VGA screen and bugs are corrected, you definitely try this one!!!!
[ THEME ][ WinDroid ** V2 AUTUMN ** CHT 2.0 beta ][ AVAILABLE ]
The author have a HTC HD (WVGA)
but he released in "V1" a VGA compatible, so maybe "V2" would have a VGA compatible too.
I would try actual WVGA release and comment in a while.





O.a.T: 1:54 SECONDS for boot time is not a dream but is the better I have got in while time. Thanks O.a.T

So my wish is just a lite version ROM when CHT 2.1 final be released
(wihtout Titanium and with no Wallpaper in Windows UI)

Thanks in advance, and really let us know how can we help you.

First, thanks for the kind words and the excellent report. Next, yes, I am personally using 2.5.2016/21681 with RSSHub, with no extra themes, but with many transparencies (clock, calendar, slider, etc.) cooked in. I manually cab in Voldeus' menu transparency mod which also gives me BG4All. The "stark black" I mention is my description of a wallpaper that I use. I'll post a couple of sceen shots after I get my phone of the wall charger. I will cook up and post a 2.5.2016/21681 without themes and without Titanium, but with RSS, next week. Finally, I am actually thinking of cooking up a CHT 2.0 Final, but it will probably be at least a week after 2.0 final is released to hopefully avoid another flash to a 2.1 final. I'm sure you know what I mean.

V2 Autumn Theme
Very, very niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Yourwelcome
and Thanks I will try that LITE ROM when ever you have time to make it.
Yes I was concern about CHT boot time and battery dry, but seems is will be fine at the end.

To everybody: ¡¡¡PLEASE READ!!!!!!
I had just recommend to try V2 autumn Theme so this is my report:
¡¡¡IT IS A STILL A WORK IN PROCESS!!!
even when the author has just released for WVGA
I think it is a little buggy for our HTC DIAMOND VGA screen
1.- the Dark Ninja android Taskbar it appears and disapear constantly ,
2.- I can't figure out how to make the "CHT Softkeys" works fine with this THEME (start menu ICON doesn't show up even with the fix applied)
3.- The "Android style" for "Windows Softkeys Bar" appear as part of the Wallpaper, but I have no clue how to THEME the "windows softkey button" to match the wallpaper with "Andorid Style softkey background".
4.- A real pain is that the "HTC Slider TAB" "show up button" doesn't work (I mean can't make to appear the "HTC slider TAB" which is hide it automatically.
5.- If you have already installed this THeme you will have to "save your CHT 2.0beta setting", uninstall all the THEME V2 Autumn CABs and reinstall CHT 2.0beta (no need to reinstall CHT 2.0beta Editor).

I'm sorry but I guess I was so in a hurry try this one. I think we would have to wait a little bit more to have a final release of that theme for VGA screen and wait for bugs be fixed, but it is promising to be good.

O.a.T. continuing reviewing your ROM Sense 25.2016.21681 (with RssHub and Themed):
when ever you have time to make the lite one, no hurry at all my friend.
Actually I will try to make a report in Battery use, I don't know if I make a mess but something has start dry my battery (that was this saturday, I will keep an eye this sunday and I will probabaly re-flash sunday latenight.

My thoughts (with total respect to your work) about your ROM:
1.- fast boot time and fast respond when using it And WOW not one single crash or reboot. It is quite stable and fast!
2.- I'm happy that "phonecavas" (the fix dial for VGA) service seem to not had random fails when going out of Sleep State.
3.- General Theme is OK, good Sence UI coherence color, the "Start Menu" Icon it is not my favorite but I can change it so no problem at all. Anyway it is impossible to reach everyone theme taste.
4.- WOW "QuickEndkey" is a winner, I totally forget about "Slide to shutdown" and "psShutXP" (it is necesary to still have psShutXP???)
5.- Ringtones are working FINE (I mean the assignation process and ringing). Maybe you can erase a lot of them and I will compile them in a zip file. I think I had one file someplace in my external disks.
6.- by default "Sence Twiter TAB" doesn't appear but I can make it appear via "Sense General Setting TAB". I try it with my twitter account and works well.
7.- I really appreciate that "google Maps" works correct with "aGPS" (that only works if you have the correct regedit done) also it works fine if you enable the "GPS" too. (I don't have to reinstall it I just sing-in again and Voila"
8.- ActiveSync with "Push to mail" works fine with my google account (who ever think to pay for Blackberry BIS or BES???).
9.- Even there is no "windows live service & Messenger" installed I have no problem setting a hotmail acount (the phone put automatically the correct setting)
10.- Outlook works fine too, I mean I can download the "show image inside the mail" action, also the attachment files. The only flow in Outlook is that our "Wheal PAD" of our HTC DIAMONDS doesn't resize the text.
11.- In many cases the "Wheal PAD" doesn't work in spining action or the press to "go up" or "down" action doesn't work too.
12.- Now this is something I think is a problem I will try to find a fix just let me sometime. After I flash I don't understand why you put "TaskEnd" in the "start menu", NOW I get it. If you press "<--" (back button) in somecase just minimize the windows, but also when you press "X" (close button) it minimize the windows and actually don't close the program. I will try to find a fix, at least I know one with "WinMob 6.5" (the one with the "startmenu icon in the up side")

My "bottom line" opinion is that is quite a good ROM, stable, fast, compatible with a lot of stuff including CHT 2.0beta (with michaeldiamond fixs). Is the kind of phone ROM you would love for everyday use (work and spair time), you have great performance and a more organized user interface. This ROM has all that plus solid performance, nice features and a Terrific Sleek design with CHT 2.0 installed as any new Phone in the Market today.
I feel no envy for the Android phones, well of course I envy a Fast chip procesor Snapdragon, a big screen and big RAM,
but so FAR I doubt HTC company has ever dream how far can independent developers could take HTC DIAMONDS.

Thanks again O.a.T.
I will definitely try that LITE ROM (RssHub is OK by the way) without Titanium and without wallpaper in Windows UI.
when ever you have time to make it.

Again, thank you for the very complete report.

Re: 4. I think you are right. Will try to remember to leave it out next time.

Re: 6. Yes, I personally do not use Twitter or Stocks on the phone so it is defaulted not to show. But as you noted it's easy to turn them on in the Settings tab and they both work.

Re: 10 & 11. Yes, again. Seems like many apps are omitting support for the thumb wheel, primarily I'm guessing, because many phones don't have one. 'Fraid I can't do much for that.

Re 12. In my experience, neither WinMo, IOS, or Android are very good at cleaning up after themselves, meaning killing programs and reclaiming memory after exiting them. "Exit", "Close", and "X" are all handled very differently by different developers. The best solution I've found on WinMo is a combination of XTask and XHook which at least are very good at letting me know which programs are running and making it easy to truly kill. Also, WinMo 21681 seems better to me at reclaiming memory once a program has been killed than the others I have tried.

Re: Lite ROM w/o themes, etc. I should have no problem getting 21681 up by the latest Tuesday. But be aware that 21683 with the newer AKU 5610 (think service pack) was just released, so I may do that instead. And since I normally like to run a rom myself a day or two before posting it, the release may be delayed. But if I go that way, hopefully it will be worth it.

Hi O.a.T. - Again, Great ROM but how can I install/enable the Compact QWERTY keyboard? It's essential for typing when you're moving at all.
Thanks.

Thanks.

The only way I've found to do this is to use PHM RegEdit and navagate to \HKLM\Software\HTC\ezsip. Change BioToShowMenu to 1 and then select Compact QWERTY.
