[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] At0mAng:
Warning & Major Announcement!

Just an FYI...download ROM at your own risk. New ROM is coming within the next three days depending on what I hear back from the testers who have final release. It is tons of work how I am building this ROM so I am not going to rush it. I am no longer supporting this build so I can put my free time into the final version of V1 and base future ROMs from there. Everything from my modding tools (kitchen) to thread has been or will be revamped to make future upgrades easier for both of us.

Some quick notes about new ROM:

Primary ROM will be WM 6.5 Build 2308 based on Leo device.

Secondary ROM will be based on whatever the latest build of WM 6.5 is available from Da_g.

The guts of the ROM:

Main ROM will be about 95%, maybe even greater from LEO device. All applications, Windows SYS files, drivers and payload/xip from LEO are used. With the help of Da_g's new dumping tool I was able to dump the XIP for LEO (which other tools can not do properly) so I am almost sure it can be ported over. The only time any software/driver/sys files are used from RHODIUM is when it is specific to RHODIUM. Every core file to in EXT so far has been converted from modules to DLL. Saves a little bit of space and I am not totally convinced modules are better. With the ROM in this thread it started with a memory leak and I think I cured the leak from the ROM in this thread by converting some modules back to files. So I am very sure it will have a positive effect in new ROM. There have been additional tweaks and cleaning of inner base of ROM.

Manila:

Manila versions 2.1, 2.5, 2.6 and No Manila version will be available at release. All 4 versions will be released at once.

All manila versions are the lastest versions with more new and complete stuff coming along the way ;)

Software:

Google Maps, Opera, Windows Live + Messenger, Business Card Reader, Copilot, Windows Market, and some other stuff has been removed from ROM. A majority of the missing software will be available as a CAB on first page of new ROM thread.

This will be a clean stripped ROM for you to put on whatever software you like with the use of some automated program at the end of customization.

I have not played with UC and WM 6.5 yet so I am not even sure if it runs with the new way Window's does it customization. If you do know it does for sure or some other app that works like UC let me know so I don't have to waste time searching around when I can be finishing up here.

Visuals:

The ROM will come with the stock look and feel. There will be additional visuals that you can add on very easily with efficient storage & memory use.

Ringtones, Wallpapers, and Alarms:

All of tese items have been removed from ROM to save space, yes I am anal like that. Each group wil be available to download with options from Raphael, Rhodium, Topaz and Leo.

Backups:

I have never really used any backup software. I keep my contacts in outlook, all of my settings are done at the end in an XML file and I really don't care to keep past text messages. Also, I find that using a restore can cause lots of problems. As a user to ROM Modder, I have seen many problems created by restoring from back up so I figured out a semi-manual way that works well for me. What I have been using lately is MyPhone by MS and it has worked very well for me for what I use it for. Very simple if you have data or Wi-Fi access.

I put many many many hours in this ROM including the time I took to create the base, tweak the **** out of it, create graphics, learn a new style kitchen, prepare kitchen for futurse use and get every part to play nicely together. Was TONS of hard work and hopefully it will be enjoyed by many as much as I am enjoying it now.

See you on the final side...
