[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] thingonaspring:
New RealVGA ROM Based on Ranju and Darkforce's 6.1 Roms

THING_V4.1 (WM6.1 19188)

Fixed in V41

- Flashdisk 15mb - works only on G4 (ironic eh?)

- Fixed BT Pairing - my Jabra 320S actully works for once

-- if it doesn't pair first time, reboot and try again

- Fixed Skype

- New SDBUS.DLL to hopefully improve SD card support

- USB sharing of SD cards is now fixed using a modified version of Ranju's SD card driver

Base Rom NBA file - using Ranju's V7.1

- Pagepool 5.2mb, default timeslice 1ms

- using this rom as a base causes Notes sync to work perfectly, I don't know why

- Flashdisk 15mb on G3 and G4

OS

- Darkforce V1, massively modified

- Catalog, customer feedback, welcome center, fwupdate, entertainment (games), transcriber and loads more pointless junk removed

- Many OS DLL, CPL, EXE and MUI files are now modules including powerpoint, word, excel, onenote, windows live

- IE homepage set to "about:blank". saves time and RAM every time you run IE

Drivers

- a mixture of Ranju's, JWright's and my own favourites

OEM

- modified camera OEM from Ranju 7.1

- - removed unnecessary DLLs

- - made the EXE non-modular as it's unloaded from RAM on exit anyway

- - general tidy up (initflashfiles recreated, shortcuts organised a bit)

- Storage settings supporting SDHC (default), SD and USB conectivity

- - If your card does not work on first boot, switch drivers and reboot

- - If it still doesn't work, switch back and reboot again

- - I've tried 5 cards, 2 SD, 2 SDHC and 1 miniSDHC in adaptor. All worked using this switch-reboot-switch-reboot process

- My own OEMApps collection, very small with good support for 192, 128 and 96 DPI

- RealVGA (as always)

- STK (my one with low mem footprint and now with nice icons too)

- Schap's Advance Config and VOIP Settings tools

- Jwright's Network Plugin and Network Wizard OEMs

- Performance App (over/underclock - defaults to 520mhz, no over/underclocking)

- Pimbackup 2.8 by DotFred

- Laurentuis26's pocket notepad

- GSPlayer by GreenSoftware

- ArcsoftMMS (partly modularised)

- Pocket RAR by Rarlab

- VijayCandellaLite by Vijay555

- TotalCommander2 by Christian Ghisler

- XPDF

- Today screen is kept minimal to save RAM. The standard plugins are included and can be enabled on the "settings->today" menu

- TCPMP0.81 by Coreplayer team - modified to use some plugins lifted from VTAP

- - libmad.plg replaces mp3.plg for better MP3 decoding

- - new MPEG4.plg decoder

- - general tidyup of other plugins

- - frequently-used plugins (mpeg4, ac3, mp3, intel PXA renderer etc) are now modules

- Like the SYS section, the OEM section is almost totally modular

- - OEM EXEs are not modular as they will not fit in VM

- - Some DLLs are not modules, again due to limited VM space

Notes

- RGUs have been removed from this ROM. I know this annoys rom-cookers, but it makes the ROM smaller and faster for users.

- To make up for this, I've released the exact kitchen used to build this ROM, with all the RGUs intact.

Thanks

- It should be obvious by now that I owe a lot of thanks to Ranju for his recent 7.1 release

- Just to repeat, the Base nk.nba, some drivers and the updated Camera OEM in this rom are all based on his ROM and Ranju deserves credit for that work.

- The Darkforce team deserve huge applause for their work on getting a functional 6.1 running on the Uni.

- The SYS section of this ROM is a heavily optimised version of DFT V1's SYS.

- Thanks to the developers in the "Developing and Hacking" forum, Schap, Dotfred, Vijay555 and the rest of the gang

- My fellow ROM-cooks, Laurentius26, Beasty, Ranju, Midget1990, JWrightcmps, Mo3ulla and all for sharing their work with the community

- The users who eagerly test our work and keep us pushing forward

- The ops and moderators of XDA-developers.com

- The gods - bepe and mamaich, in a class of their own

- Anyone I've forgotten - not intentional I'm just absent-minded ;-)

Important notes :-

Beasty has informed me that using the flash bulb for long periods can cause the thing to burn out - so please only use candella for short periods. If you're really worried about it, disable the lightbulb key under "settings -> buttons" and assign it to some other function or <NONE>.

Before flashing ANY cooked ROM, your phone should have the latest bootloader version and be fully unlocked and SuperCID, otherwise it may lock up or crash randomly. Do this with bepe's glorious unlock tool here:-
