[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] At0mAng:
Objective:

To be able to create a ROM on your phone from your favorite chef. Also you will be able to combine differnt packages from different chefs. So you like Chef A ROM but you like Chef B graphics you can combine the two as long as the Chefs break up their packages according to specs of app.

Also you will be able to browse, download and install apps from developers here at XDA, HTCPedia or any other website if they wish to place their Apps here.

Chefs, developers, and any modder can put up their own work on server and will be responsible for maintaining their work on App Store server. It is up to each modder to set price if any. PayPal system will be part of app.

Project Lead Time

V1 beta will be available after all bugs have been found and squashed.

How it will work:

User can create ROM and flash from phone. User can also browse App Store and select what programs, tweaks and themes to include in ROM or add to current ROM installed on phone.

Theoretical scenario

User wants to install new ROM on phone and does not like any of the custom stuff chefs put into ROM. What is user to do?

User downloads and installs Fusion Visual UC on either Windows Mobile Device.

User then runs Fusion Visual UC and selects all settings user prefers and applications. Through activesync Fusion Visual UC will install custom package on SD card of device and install latest Fusion Power ROM.

New ROM will be loaded on phone. At end of Windows Customization, Fusion Visual UC will take over, issue some prompts and then proceed to install all customized user settings.

At end of customization user's device will reboot and user will have totally customized Windows Mobile build as if user cooked the ROM themselves.

All flavors of Manila will be included to allow user to select what version they like to use.

More to come soon!

Funding

This project requires some funding which I can not do on my own, if I could I would so I am hoping to get some help from the community since it will be for everyone to use as end user or developer.

Costs will be:

Friend who is helping me with code. I already gave him my new TP2 as partial payment and would like to give him some payment as we get further a long. Anything is good...

Server equipment - Would like to keep server in house for the launch of App and for a few months after that. So I will need to purchase equipment for server.

Additional Phones - Would be nice to get a phone for myself for testing reasons and one for graphic designer. No big deal, can make do without but would make everything easier.

I am a student and do freelance IT work on the side. I filled up my schedule as much as I can for this week and next to earn some extra cash to carry the burden of cost. Only downside is it takes time away from App.

Thank you in advance if you contribute to this application.

Everyone who contributes will be set up with free exchange account. Also if developers want to charge for their apps I will try to cut a deal with them to allow donators to access their apps for free.

Developers have no charge to use this app nor are they required to share in their profits.
