[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
UPDATE : DEVELOPMENT STOPPED : I'm not working on this ROM anymore. This is quiet stable version so feel free to try it out. But please don't contact me, unless its an emergency. :)

Hey Guys!

Wait is over. Here is another nice ROM for everybody to enjoy. This time, its with Manilla 2D and as with my previous ROMs, its fully loaded and everythings working the way it should be. Its a no nonsense, no compromise ROM. I've tested it quiet thoroughly for last 3 days and found it quiet stable and speedy.

I give it the name BlackMetal. The name is inspired by the design of ROM.

Here are the details of it:

ROM's base operating system version is CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 20270.1.3.1)

Free Memory at Startup : 23.11 MB initially, After normal use for 5-10 mins : 20.10 MB

Free User Space : 44.29 MB

Page Pool : 5 MB

I have created it with my own ported XIP from WM 6 Original Rom for P3400i using Ramerson's Kitchen (my favourite) for GENE.

Here are some screen shots from the ROM:

I have also attached the individual images of screen shots with this post.

For New Gene (Version 1.0) :

Live Skydrive : http://cid-988261b694475a67.skydriv...mits|_WM6.1|_BlackMetal|_ROMv1.0|_NewGene.exe

Like my previous ROM, the Pro User's ROM, as i call it dearly, this one is also complete in every sense. Apart from SQM, Windows Update and Welcome center, nothing is missing from it.

Main Features

* First WM 6.1 ROM with Manilla 2D Elfin version with Windows Live working!

* Nice themed layout for key applications like Manilla 2D, Phone Dialer, Windows Media Player, Calculator, Audio Manager etc.

* WKTask, an advance task manager and program launcher which shows icons of running programs on task bar and manages them very smoothly. Its the primary task manager used in this ROM. HTC task manager is not there as i think its not of much use along with this one.

* Good FileSystem and Application Response timing: Windows folder is accessible within 5 seconds from any explorer application despite being a manilla based ROM. Application response time is also fine.
