[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] duttythroy:
INTRODUCTION TO THE ROM.

MOD EDIT: WINDOWS BETA BUILD EXPIRED 1st OF MARCH

[ DUTTYS HD V1.8 EXTREME ] You will notice on boot up that its much faster than before only setback this ROM doesn't support anymore UC Compatibility.

With the new Manila its so fast and un-believable quick with some added features and tabs.

New calendar tab which makes life so much easier now which is so awesome also when activated when manila is in landscape mode.

New Contact card and Email setup also contributed by the new manila

Just tapping the time in the Home screen will bring you to a new world of setting up your Alarms and also check other time frequency in other parts of the world.

New Calculator which also expands with more features when activate in landscape mode, just brilliant.

New Phone Dialler which is just fxxking awesome in every aspect including conferencing call support and every calls with contact you can do so much more during a call etc.

There is also a lot of update applications which acquaints to around 90% of the ROM.

One of the main features which I like most is the new interface which will dazzled you with the daily operation of the phone which will be seen when you flashed and see.

New Notification process which now replaces large Title Bar which manages all your current notifications, alarm, appointments etc.

And of course this ROM support landscape mode which makes life for some much easier now, I have made a cab which you will just need to install and soft reset which will activate landscape for most apps in my ROM, including Manila, Phone , Programs and Settings etc.

Recommendations to trying the Rom.

Flash the rom

Hard reset/clear storage

DO NOT INSTALL ANY 3RD PARTY APPS UNTIL TRYING THE ROM FIRST, This is due to anumber of reasons new files drivers etc.

I dont use 3rd part apps or messed with tweaking ,as my rom is fully tweaked as how i use it daily.

After testing the rom and ur happy, INSTALL ONE APP at a time and use it, soft reset and try the device to see if anything strange or any bug as arise.

do this for other apps until u find ur source of the bug.
