No2Chem nueROM 0.1 b1007

**no2chem** · #1 (**permalink**) 10-24-2007, 07:34 PM

NEW VERSION, UPDATE: FIXES slow boot issue. Fixes USB issue. SYS files updated to AKU 0.7, XIPKERNEL still at AKU 0.2.3, XIP at AKU 0.7.0

There is a new 0.3 ALPHA posted on the ftp - I'm going out on a limb here, but - I've checked it and it's pretty stable.
0.3 ALPHA has all files in XIP updated to AKU 0.7 status, except for nk.exe. I obviously need some people to double check it, but it seems to be ok thus far. THE KERNEL IS NOT AKU 0.7. Everything else is, so it would be interesting to see if it resolves anything. It is CE OS 5.2.1921.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD, if you don't like flashing your phone often, or need your phone every second. There is a possbility that IT MAY CRASH, EXPLODE, etc your phone. It is not fully tested yet. Please give me input as to how it works for you so we know what it fixes / breaks. If it crashes, please let me know, and any details.

Thanks!

To download, you'll find it in my directory on the ftp:
ftp://ppcgeeks:ezupload@up.ppcgeeks..../Users/No2Chem

I'm open to suggestions, so let me know...

This sounds pretty good. I like what you've put together. Had I not just gone through flashing and hard resetting my device a second time, I'd give this one a try. Maybe in a week or so when I'm bored with my installation I'll give this one a shot. Definitely some good ideas in there.

Problem with the 10-button comm manager is the WiFi option, since we have a hardware switch...

I'd have to agree that adding the X-Button and codyppc's threaded SMS into this would probably allow them to run a little smoother, not to mention they just seem like necessities to me. The system's useless without X-Button, and the built-in SMS is dreadful.

I like wkTask more, so I might end up putting that in. Typically I use the threaded SMS in pocketCM, but I can see why people might not want pocketCM - it tends to lag a bit. I'll see to adding this stuff when I have time.

On the rom speed issue, it may be that because items in ROM are marked read only WM is able to work with them faster,... perhaps we are just all hallucinating - someone should really benchmark to see...

If you do include Cody's Palm Threaded SMS app in your ROM, don't share it on here. There are rules due to Palm complaining about their friggin threaded SMS app. If you create a ROM with the Palm Threaded SMS installed, share it privately. Don't post it on the forums.

Just a heads up

Word on the street is that it has something to do with system cache. If its in the ROM, it gets included in the system cache, and that memory space and system threading gets priority over other parts of the OS.

Think about it from MS's point of view... they want things like phone operations to have priority over installed apps like DivX players, IM apps and any other third party apps.

But this is just a guess. Only MS (or perhaps HTC) would know for sure, and we won't get an official statement from them because they are trying to pretend that custom ROMs don't exist...

Threaded SMS and MMS should DEFINITELY be included on all roms. However, something like X-button should be left up to the user's choice. For example, SPB I use Pocket Plus 4.0 and it has a built in X-button feature. IMO, its better than HTC X-button 1.51. (2.0 is bloated garbage).

Anyway, my point is some people use a different option like PP4 or WisBar. Therefore, this option should remain open.

When I think of an ideal rom I think of a streamlined ROM with the core features (Office, for note functionality, Voice Speed dial, crucial Registry edits, Youtube hack, cdma compat. dialer skin, etc.) I personally find that the included voice program (with voice tags) is more accurate at recognizing my voice than Voice Command ever is (not to mention WM6 and VC incompatibility bugs).

Things that should be removed are all the Sprint Crap, on Demand, Live, etc. Just the junk that nobody uses or stuff thats clearly replaced by something better.

Agreed. I like Magicbutton. I also would leave out the battery gauge since there are tons of those available and are very small in size.
