Perhaps, it looks interesting. What kind of compatibility with manila 2.1 and WM6.1 does it have? What kind of advantage is there over what I've got already?

It's a GUI (graphical user interface) which is nice looking. I don't know about the compatibility issues, maybe you can ask OP over at XDA..

I think MaxSense working only with 6.5.x and 6.5 WM

To be honest, I haven't got an account there. Based on the post below yours, it sounds like it denies WM6.1 users use.

Good suggestion though. I wouldn't mind spicing up the bland default theme myself. If any members find some nice icon sets they like, I can cook 'em in.

Is the ROM posted somewhere where it can be downloaded yet; or still "beta"?

Thanks for continuing to develop for the Diamond....

You can download version 2.2.3 and read info about it in the first post of this thread, or you can send me a Personal Message to request version 2.3. You may just wish to wait until 2.5 though (see global announcement below)

GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
Version 2.5 is coming along nicely and will likely be available in the end of this week or next week (it depends which, I'm having difficulties with the kitchen). Thanks for your support.

Thanks for your work on this. I always liked the layout of 6.1 better than 6.5 so it's nice to see someone putting together a rom with it.

I'm using 2.5 and have noticed that if I get an e-mail or text, the screen lights up, but doesn't go off. If I have the phone in my bag or it's laying around during the night, this drains the battery. Any suggestions for fixing this?

Are you talking about "Sense 2.5" or "Elite 2.5". Elite 2.5 hasn't quite been released yet. If you're talking about Sense, I really don't really know what to tell you.

GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT
In addition to kitchen issues, schedule issues are now preventing Elite 2.5 from being released. I'm gonna try and look at it today some more, but I'm on vacation the rest of the week, and the schedule beyond that is a big mess, so it will be a couple weeks yet before the release of Elite 2.5. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Thanks for the file there, KainPPC.

GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT

As of recently, I have completely started over again with the Elite ROM as the kitchen had a terrible accident that it seems to have been unable to recover from. And as a tribute to the Diamond and the (completely unrelated) 11 year anniversary of the release of the Sega Dreamcast (a console I have never owned and still don't own) and just for the heck of it, I have put together another experimental ROM, this time it is Lite; that's right folks, Lite is part of Elite, and the experimental ROM currently contains 85MB of Free space to install programs that can run while you are NOT in usb storage mode. The groundbreaking release will come in a week or two as my schedule is still hectic (as usual), so if you were wanting to test 2.3, just hang in there, a new and improved Elite 2.5 is just around the corner. In the meantime I might post some screenies of the exciting ROM if the release date gets pushed back too far.

As fun as this is, it also means that Elite 2.3 testing is now complete, and the best part is that Elite 2.5 won't undergo the same testing rigmarole that 2.3 was subjected to. If you are urgently in need of a ROM, and would still like a Genuine 2 Bunny Product, the (what now seems like ancient) Elite 2.2.3 is still available for download, but I do strongly encourage the Elite 2.5 upgrade for everyone when it becomes available. Looking at the calendar right now, here are some possible release dates to give the community an idea of my expectations for this release in order of "best case scenario" to "worst case scenario":
September 17th (Friday)
September 19th (Sunday)
September 22nd (Wednesday)
WCS: September 25th (Saturday)

Of course I always would like to again thank the community for the continued support of the Elite ROM series and HTC Diamond users everywhere who keep it alive.

Update: For New Users Directed to this post from post #1 (did I say "post" enough times? LOL!), please head on down to post 50 to see where we are going with this after the "crash landing" of Caulkin's Kitchen.
