PPCGeeks - *Blazing Fast & Stable* Maverick MobileShell ROM *SYS 23135* UPDATED!

Maverick SPB Mobile Shell ROM

Highlights:

I design ROMs to have the best compromise between speed, usability, eye candy and stability. Try out this ROM and see if I succeeded.

*Lean, mean, stable mutlitasking machine. At least in my hands! Test it out and let me know what needs fixing.

*Has overclocking built-in! Set to 748MHz, but can be easily changed.

*Uses Opera Mini as default browser for speed.

*Windows Start menu removed and replaced with XTask to increase free memory.

*Various speed and memory tweaks.

*SPB Mobile Shell cooked in Espresso theme. This theme has the best speed & RAM consumption:eye candy ratio in my opinion (after testing various other Shell themes).

Usual disclaimers:
I make no guarantees that this will work as advertised. ROM flashing is risky, and I assume you know the risk of bricking your phones. If you brick your phone, or somehow do something bad to it, I take no responsibility! On the other hand, I will be happy to answer specific questions and tweak the ROM so it works well for the great majority of people.
Despite everything, if you still insist on flashing this ROM, I really hope it works well for you. Suggestions, comments, critiques and encouragement are all welcome. Especially encouragement :razz:

Known Issues:

1. Overclocking sometimes does no stick after a soft reset. Don't know why this is. Just start it up again manually after a soft reset. FIXED: Removed OC. Please install the cab, linked to above in the acknowledgements section.

5. All settings should now be working.
