LatROM 23569 - Clean & Updated

The premise of this ROM is to provide an ultra-clean, simple, and updated ROM. There are minimal themes, minimal extra programs, and none of my own customizations...all those can be installed via cab by any end-user.

This ROM is based heavily off RZ's kitchen. I highly recommend you check it out, if you like to play around with this kind of stuff. Many thanks goes to raidzero for providing the kitchen and so much support.

What about the ROM? Here are some specs and what goodies it includes:
- As per the title, COM5 build 23569
- HTC Sense Manila 2.5.2012 (non-CFC in case you desire to install your own mods)
- kimi_sae_ireba People Messaging Mod (for speech bubble SMS)
- Co0kie HomeTab v1.8.0 w/ CHTEditor
- Opera 10
- pyrorob Leo 2G Phone Canvas
- no2chem's updated nueBattery2/battery.dll driver and nueCPLPower
- EzInput 2.0 Compact QWERTY (portrait)
- Tweaks, updated drivers, updated packages wherever I feel fit, etc.

Please note that this ROM does not have a specific carrier cab included; data will not work unless you install one. You may download dcd's carrier cabs from here.

I would appreciate any feedback or bug reports regarding this ROM. Please hit up the thanks button if you enjoy!

Special thanks to:
- raidzero (again) for the kitchen and teaching us how to cook
- Juicy47 for the inspiration of a clean, fast, updated ROM
- Sharkie405 for the extra support using RZ's kitchen
- Jbradthomas for the extra support using RZ's kitchen

Final Edit
Sorry guys. I finally ended up selling my CDMA HTC Touch Pro, and upgraded to an Android device (HTC Desire). I wish you all the best with your device, and recommend you to try JB's ROM if you're looking for a similar experience. Thanks for using LatROM!

Now that's what I'm talking 'bout!

Re: [ROM][06-11] LatROM 23569 - Clean & Updated

I've been looking for a clean rom that didn't have all the junk so many others do. Went from Juicy to building my own with Calkulin's kitchen.

Flashed to this and it looks great, only problem is I can't find Activesync. Also was looking for information on people messaging ie how to remove it. Is there a cab to revert to normal HTC messaging. Anybody have a solutions to these problems?

Anyway looks great so far, hope you continue with it and keep us updated.

RE: the Activesync, my bad. I think I may have been a bit too thorough making everything clean...haha. You can just copy and paste to \Windows\sync.lnk to your start menu in the meantime.

As for the original HTC messaging, I'm not sure why you'd want it (it's pretty slow and if you have a significant number of messages, sometimes crashes). I tried throwing together a cab to revert back to HTC messaging for you, but it conflicts with the new messaging client cooked in.

Anyways, if it's just the text bubbles you dislike, you can play around with these registry keys:

Code:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]

"People.Message.BitMode"=dword:0

"People.Message.ChatBoxMargin"=dword:50 ; hex

"People.Message.FontSize"=dword:2

"People.Message.ItemPerPage"=dword:a ; hex

"People.Message.ShowOldMsgTime"=dword:1

"People.Message.UseChatBoxUI"=dword:1

"People.Message.UseInputBoxSkin"=dword:1

"People.Message.UseNaviTitle"=dword:1

Quote:

People.Message.BitMode - bit encoding mode for characters. 0 for 7-bit (160/153 default), 1 for 8-bit (140/133), 2 for 16-bit (70/67).

People.Message.ChatBoxMargin - size of margin between edge and max speech bubble width, default is 80 (0x50h).

People.Message.FontSize - size of font used for text messages, range 0 - 8, default is 2.

People.Message.ItemPerPage - max number of text messages per page, default is 10 (0xAh).

People.Message.ShowOldMsgTime - 1 to show time stamps on old text messages, 0 to hide.

People.Message.UseChatBoxUI - 1 to use speech bubble ui, 0 to use classic list.

People.Message.UseInputBoxSkin - 1 to use messaging client skin, 0 to use classic skin.

People.Message.UseNaviTitle - 0 to use classic header, 1 to use navigation header, 2 to use compact navigation header.
