Voice Dialling

Also attached, MSVC UK 1.6 with working call announcements and fully working via bluetooth button & wired headset button. Please ignore the error at the end of the install as this is just the program trying to map a hardware button to MSVC - This can be done manually through buttons in Control Panel if required. Just map to "MS Voice Command" (not "Voice Command", this does not work properly)

Cyberon Voice Speed Dial is available in the links below as well

A Hard Reset is recommended after flashing for better performance.

Flashing can be done either via USB using CustomRUU or using the internal storage method.

Please Ensure battery is atleast 50% before flashing

My Roms are not designed with lots of storage space in mind. They are designed to be full roms with all the apps in the standard release that you would generally need. They come with considerably more storage space than the original diamond roms however I do not tweak them to get the most space out of them as that is not the point to me (we have 4gb storage anyway).

Please do not request superlight versions as I do not plan to make one. The light version is designed to be a base for other UI's than diamond manila, not a stripped down build.

If you have any questions or bugs, please do not PM me, post in the thread instead so the community can help you fix them. I do not respond to bug reports or requests via PM unless it is something you are working with me on.

I would like to thank all those who shared the topaz and rhodium oems & roms & especially carburano, christonge, danny_and_2 and all other chefs who share. Also the people who make the tools for cooking available, bepe, ervius, udk and others.

I would also like to thank my betatesters JonInAtl, lucasjohny, Gman25 & ycimpir for helping to iron out any issues in this rom.

Also like to thank the members of this forum, 4winmobile.com & ppcgeeks for the support

Shaks.P Roms are free and always will be. If you like my Roms optionally send me a drink here:
