[HTC HERMES] DarkVisions 5.0 - WM6.5 ROM

[utak3r]

The next generation of my DarkVisions ROM - DV5.0. It's based on Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional. But... it's different than most of productions you can find everywhere. You won't find any honeycomb here, nor you won't find any beautiful Titanium plugin. Instead you get plenty of free RAM and an amazing speed of the system.

Right now it's based on build 23016.
Free RAM: between 27 and over 29MB. Normally, using Homescreen++ it should be around 28MB.
Free storage: 49MB.
Dialer with video calls support.

Remember - if you encounter strange problems with unexpected hard-resets, go and flash some original ROM containing an Extended ROM, perform a hard-reset, than flash this ROM and again perform a hard-reset - since now on your device should work without any problems.

The ROM can be downloaded from here.
Here you can download the package containing only the splashscreens, if I ever forget to include them in the ROM package
