WM6.5.3 w/Threaded Email--See Video

This is my own custom ROM that I have been working on in private for a few weeks. I get a lot of requests to share my setups and ROM preferences, so here you go.

This ROM has a lot of custom tweaks and optimizations meant to make the device as quick as possible (listed below). In fact, I think you'll be quite surprised at how responsive it by way of comparison.

It was built on a heavily modified SSK (Scott's Simply Kitchen), so please feel free to donate to him for providing that platform. I also borrowed a few ingredients from Calkulin's kitchen. Having said that, a majority of what was done to this ROM is not found in either.

This ROM has been beta tested by numerous folks over the last few weeks, notably BigD5, who was indispensable for feedback. I'd also like to thank Fards, Mr. Makk and especially Redd214 & Rawdikrik (for custom Action Screen).

I have been running this ROM in one version or another for weeks best way to describe it is smooth fast and stable. this is a 6.5.3 ROM that realy works no excuses. I have tested many different ROMs from all the big name chefs and this ROM by far is the fastest and most stable that I have seen. Thanks goes to Mal for all his hard work and for keeping me up till the middle of the night flashing new versions.

Just kidding Mal.

[darren.wlsn1]

[darren.wlsn1]

Quick question - is there any need for a provisioning cab (I'm on Sprint) or MMS fix? TIA

I don't believe so. I didn't need to do any of that.

Great rom btw only thing I can't find is a Remote Desktop Mobile cab as it doesn't seem to be included in the rom.

Yeah, no provisioning .cab needed.

Didn't add Remote Desktop--may add it later if enough people need it, but I figured there are .cab laying around if folks need to install.

@darren.wlsn1 yeah, meant to test out that program. May cook it into a revision in a few days.
