Looks like a new SYS is out. I'll keep testing. I'd prefer to polish a bit before releasing anything.

burp. ehem* 21232.

[chino331]

actually 21234 is out! :P

[Soaa-]

End of semester rush is OVER! I'm back on track. I've been playing with 21232 for the past week or so; seems quite stable to me. I'll have to check out 21234 when it's up and see how that goes.

lovin this ROM, fastest i've tried to date!

[Torx]

yay-ya! think you did good on exams?

[Soaa-]

There weren't really exams. It was a project rush. ;P

Looks like 21234 is up. *tries*

Al ... I'm missing your ROMs. The latest I've seen are 21231 and they're great except they all change things that I liked better with your Edge version.

I'll keep looking to see if you get back to it. In the meantime, I'm sticking with yours.

[Soaa-]

Yeah, I've been playing with Juicy's kitchen lately. Never was totally satisfied with a ROM I built in it though. They tend to be rather heavy for some reason.

I'll try building a lightweight ROM with Rhodium Manila next. A lot of bugs have been fixed lately so it's actually usable now.

[Soaa-]

Okay, screw Manila. I tweaked WM7 Titanium Project a bit and holy crap it's sweet.

Before I go on, here are some changes I've made to the ROM in general. First off, I'm dropping Frugal edition: as it stands right now, it's a very fast, lightweight and stable ROM that feels stock. I don't see any major improvements that can be brought upon it. Next, Edge will lose its name: there will only be alRom now. I'm trying to achieve a balance between having the latest software, time for me work stabilize the ROM, time for me for other things, and time for you between flashes. I think a bi-weekly release cycle would be a fair balance, and would offer pretty major updates at every release. That is, one release every two weeks, not two releases every week.

Another thing I'll clarify is the version scheme. All releases will have a three-number version, where the first number is the major revision, the second number is the minor revision, and the last number is my own stability/polish rating from 0 to 10.

Finally, I'll reiterate the main goal of this ROM. alRom aims to provide a clean and polished out-of-the-box experience that requires little extra configuration to be usable. In short, flash and go.

At long last, a quick overview of my imminent release, alRom 0.10.8.

> Windows Mobile 6.5 build 21806 [thanks to da_reeseboy and all those imvolved]
> XIP and OEMDrivers optimized using nueSpinLockPatcher [thanks to No2chem]
> Updated D3D drivers [thanks to Juicy]
> Opera Mobile 9.7b1 [thanks to Opera Software ASA]
+ WM7 Titanium Project, including TitaniumWhether and Opera Favorites [thanks to everyone involved]
* Built using Calkulin's 4.8 kitchen
* UPX compression [script from Juicy's kitchen]

I figure I might as well release my kitchen; lots of chefs are doing that nowadays.

I'll probably release either tonight or tomorrow morning. Stay tuned!
