[Touch 3G ROM Development] chanaev:
Hi everyone, who have HTC Jade or also known as HTC Touch 3G!

Introduction: I glad to introduce my first modified ROM for this model. It will be "Lite" version of ROM, which contained minimum standard software. This gives us free place and improve performance. So and you install software which you want instead HTC vendors choice =)

Many thanks to udk for the Jade-Kitchen and OliNex-Team for Hard-SPL, cause without them I can't do these ROMs.

Why 2 ROMs, are they different?

No. At first I start develop only Russian ROM, because am natively from there, but right now I'm in Germany and, as I know from my friend, there are "deficit" with German ROMs =)

So, I decide make ROMs in parallel for 2 localizations. They are completely identical in content point of view.

Russian ROM v1.* based at 1.40.411.1 firmware

German ROM v1.* based at 1.40.407.2 firmware

Russian ROM v2.* based at 2.32.411.1 firmware

German ROM v2.* based at 2.32.407.2 firmware

There are little announcement: I want release also another one version "Sterile", which contained nothing 3rd party or OEM software, except Windows 6.1.

My strategy is not fast increasing version and build number, but stability.

So, right now many monstrous HTC components like Manila 2d, Office, Windows Media Player are in system yet. In general I a little bit learn about inside structure of ROM. I'm newbie in WinMobile and PDA devices. Jade is my first one.

I want receive more feedback from you about bugs, request some features and so on. It very important for developing and improvement.

And what we have:
