BigJ's üb3R *Sprint* ROM --- B.E.T.A. (rev 1.0b) 11-26-07
 

This is my first attempt at a ROM for the mogul. The kitchen used was based on the work from this thread

DogGuy's Kitchen (Now with working BT base)

This ROM should not be considered final by any stretch of the imagination. I post this publicly for those willing to provide feedback and assist in the troubleshooting process. Since this is my very first on this platform I have taken a very conservative approach, using very few OEM's and did not modify the core files very much. This is in no way of the same calibur as the 6700 ROM series I developed because this is not a 6700 and I have only had my 68 for like a week. I dont know the little "quirks" if you will, and this phone seems to have them in abundance (read as: pile of garbage). Anyways Here it is, I hope you enjoy it as much as i do, and I like it a lot because the stock rom is a seeping pile of shit.

Included in this ROM
Battv - battery guage
Calendar +
Call Firewall
DeviceLock 1.1
Blue skinned keyboard
Memmaid 1.7 (dont like 2.0)
Tons of additional menu extension and context templates
Picturemail (yes it works right out of the box)
Single Line notification plugin (uber)
o2 lastcall, sound profiles, runningprograms
Phone codes (found in windows directory) *NOT WORKING* see below
Phonealarm 16beta (the version that doesnt mess w/ the volume while in a call)
Pimbackup 2.5
ptravelalarm - works much better than GS and has a today plugin
RC MOD Tools to change the color of everything to suite you
Resco Explorer, simply the best 617
Resco Picture Viewer Pro, 632
rlToday w/ custom "J" theme
Softreset button in programs
Speed dial today plugin to use pix or txt to dial out (similiar to treo)
Startclean to keep that start menu nice and shiny
Task Manager 2 (formerly known as X-Button by HTC)
TCPMP 072rc1 w/ working vid, tested streams from ORB
Youtube download plugin, antiquated but i still like it
SMS enhancements to make your conversations easier to follow
Clear Voicemail shortcut under programs
Winrar of course
....and a TON of misc speed tweaks and stuffs



==========KNOWN ISSUES===========
## Codes do NOT work!
pTravelalarm today plugin will not pull the alarm up -- By design, no i wont fix it, i put a shortcut to set it in the start menu
Phone as Modem Connection... plz manually remove the rescource key under HKLM - COMM - Internet Sharing to avoid authentication error #67 when using internet connection sharing
The single line notification todayplugin will initially show like 446 missed calls or something, this is normal, give it a day or so and they will clear automatically and then it will start to function properly
Some of the programs that need registration are not registered, ill fix the ones i can shortly, in the meantime use google or your credit card
The Alarm Clock does NOT have a default sound, make sure you CHOOSE one when creating your alarms!

SUPER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You MUST have your bootloader unlocked... follow the instructions in this thread to do so

I HIGHLY reccomend running radio 1.40 as 1.32 from sprint is complete crap. It will also give you better Bluetooth functionality, better reception, faster internet speeds, and more battery life. It is included in my ROM download.

This is not the default BOOTUP state of the phone but you can at least get an idea of how I use my phone personally. I was going to go with HTC HOME but it just takes up to much damn space. I opted instead to make a custom rlToday skin, and put other programs to track notifications like phonealarm and the notification plugin. Here is what you are seeing on my phone

1 - rlToday plugin (if you want to change the metroid picture, modify the "Launcher.png" file in photoshop.../windows/skins/launcher.png)
2 - phonealarm with custom BigJ-Mini skin (it looks like the double bar, i love the sound customization but w/ the single line notification plug, i dont need the bulk)
3 - Single Line Notify plugin
4 - o2 Sound Profiles (if you use this, set your phonealarm profile's sounds to "Leave Unchanged"
5 - Calendar +

Reserved for Later Use

Yeup, im gonna reserve this one to....

Dunno how many i need, forum restrictions are tight....

:headbang:

Wait, I thought you said you got a Touch? Didn't like it?

Looks promising :D

The TOUCH is on my 2nd line, but thanks for asking and yes I LOVE IT!

looks great always love the roms you posted for the apache thanks. any mario themes or anything?

I've always enjoyed your reserved, subtle use of the English language, J. ;)

This is both a highly-impressive and extremely intimidating list of customizations. I might go ahead and take the plunge tomorrow, although I was hoping to hold out on flashing my phone again until the next major ROM release. I really don't want to mess with the deactivation/reactivation process on Mobipocket...

Hey, and don't forget you've got that entire subdomain on my host if you want to skip RapidShare...
