(Dev back, maybe) Just Works 6.1 21055 Rom - Simple, Effective, Fast, Reliable

[popssracer]

The Just Works 6.1 21055 Rom

Windows 6.1 Professional 21055 build

UPDATED 7/24! Made a few changes to the skin, taskbar, and some other under the hood changes as well. Whole things running a little better since i reworked the kitchen i use to make this rom.
UPDATED 5/22! Added some settings and bits to fix the default Internet Browser manilla tab issue! See below for files and instructions!
UPDATED 5/6! Fixes to some of the small issues, adding Telus carrier rom!
UPDATED 4/26! Tweaks to fix the taskbar icon (thanks to tank)

This is a simple, easy to use and fast rom. This rom does not have any extra software, you put what you want on this rom, it comes with only the tools needed to be fast and efficient. (This means there is no browser included either. You choose which one works best for you and install it.)

It uses Manilla 1.2 with a sleek basic black skin. I know it is relatively unsophisticated, but I made this rom for myself and anyone who does NOT want the latest build of 6.5 (I have yet to find a single build of 6.5 that was truly as fast or as stable as it was billed to be). If you want the latest greatest, this is not the rom for you.

If you want a phone that works efficiently and does not crash, lag or break, this is the rom for you.

Credits and thanks go to Calkulin, as I am using his kitchen as a base(though discontinued). I have changed and added and subtracted things from it, but I couldn't have done anything without his work and a lot of help from many others!

I have made 3 roms for the time being, one for alltel (which I am still on), one for Sprint, and a generic carrier rom, for everyone else. All of the roms have a 24mb pagepool size, I have included the pagepool changer, so if you are installing for a verizon phone, you must decrease the pagepool to 6mb (i think, im not on verizon so i could be wrong). If you need help doing this, just let me know.

Please let me know if you like it, if you dont like it, suggestions, etc! If you would like a tweak or two for your own personal rom, just request it and I'll do my best to facilitate it. I'm not very good with themes, but I can probably help with custom programs, etc.

Use at your own risk. I have tested this rom quite a bit and have pretty good confidence in it (had it on my phone for 2 months continuously) but I am not responsible for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of using my roms. Your phone must be unlocked to use this.

*UPDATE TO FIX THE MANILA BROWSER TAB ISSUE!*
Ok, Install the desired browser in the default folder. Do not change where the files go, let the installer install ON the device, not on your storage card. Then download the file below that corresponds to the browser you installed. Unrar it, and place the file (InternetPortal-en-us.xml) into the /Application Data/Manila folder on your device. Soft reset, and you should be good to go!

Hey, I flashed the Sprint Rom real quick before I was flashing another and noticed an error on the Music tab. The popup says "The file 'AudioManager_eng' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."

Other than that it seems very quick, snappy.

good to see im not the only person here that does belive that the bloated slow and unstable build called 6.5 and 6.5.x is not worth giving up a faster and more stable 6.1 (that can have beauty added to it)

the proof of my words in in my tp2 rom below (in my sig)

keep up the rom devlopment u are part of a dying breed!!!

Dangit dangit dangit. Im aware of this problem, and I have a little program in the kitchen that fixes it, and somehow inbetween checking everything, saving and building it got unselected... I have NO idea how. I will rebuild, update and repost them in short order!! Many apologies!

*Edit: Reposted all 3 roms with fixed (hopefully) audiomanager. If anyone out there can give it a try and make sure its fixed, i would greatly appreciate it

There isn't a browser installed. You'll have to install one for that to work. I'd give one of these a try.

Yep, as roguefoxx said, you must install one yourself. I left a browser out specifically because everyone seems to want a different one. Even within opera there are as many versions and betas that people prefer. I personally have Opera for most things and have skyfire installed as well in case opera cannot do something.
