[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cruiserrr:
:eek::eek::eek: 430 downloads of the diff versions uploaded so far !!!!!

Hi, I finally decided myself to learn how to cook. Thanks to swtos and pcarvalho for their roms and specially thanks to gullum for sharing his wm6.5 kitchen. Since he published it, the polaris section has seen quite a few new cookers. Thanks also to Bluemetalaxe for the Icons and a general thanks to all the xda contributors (TMC, 6gf8's PowerRadio, XDA_UC, bl05, ervius's kitchen and tools...). It is being a lot of fun so far !

It is may first ROM ever, I recommend the ROM to anybody using wm6 or even wm6.1, people with slow devices, people with big thumbs and people with lots of programs. How does it compare to other ROMs? No Manilla oriented, it is rather focused on how to keep the machine clean and fast while having efficient navigation to lots of programs (many programs can be installed silently without leaving duplicate files into windows folder and many other programs do not need to be reinstalled after a hard reset if kept in the SD. They only need shortcuts and sometimes a few reg keys / files to be restored).

Versions available: LITE / XDA

How is the Xda & OpenGL/Freeware ROM?:

Storage: 133,79 Free 121,47 / Program: 100,83 Free 50,91

Latest developments: More and more shortcuts replaced/added, HardLeys reconfigured, Backlight fixed, Power Radio and Quick GPS background as theme. Update Recommended. Help wanted from other cookers/testers please see the post "To do list/help wanted"

Excluded: Manila, Calculator, FM Radio, Office Mobile, OneNote, Sample Music, Google Maps, HTC Task Manager

Included: Net CF 3.7, BT Jetware Extension, Showcase, HGPS Switch, EZInput, Album, XDA_UC, Power Radio, Most of HTC Mega, BL05, PIM BackUP 2.8, PHN NotePad, Cyberon VSD, FDC Soft Task Manager, ACR, Second Today, Opera, YouTube, Mortscripts (Screen Rotation), cruiserrr customization (IE to SD, RSS to SD, Folders to SD, etc)

Links To SD (install the programs to sd\program files first, then flash the rom): Office Mobile, Google Maps, PocketScreen, XNView,

Links To SD (Commercial software): IGO, SKTools (and icons to diff sk tools), SK Tracker, SK smgr, Resco Explorer

Check here known bugs.

It is an ongoing development so each day the ROM will have more icons converted and more shortcuts to SD, etc. Links to commercial software will be kept in a separate folder "SD Icons" for the time being. I plan to do a mortscript that allows to customize which icons to install or to do a mirror structure of folders or to integrate in normal folders only in a "full" version.

How is the Lite ROM?: I would say it is fast!

Storage: 143,00 Free 136,00 / Program: 100,83 Free 53,32

Latest developments: Same as XDA Rom

It is like the XDA ROM but does not include Cyberon Voice Speed Dial, Sun Java, Opera, Audio Booster, Audio Manager, RSS Hub, Streaming Media, TouchFlo, Voice Recorder, HyperGPS, Power Radio, Second Today, PIM BackUP, PHM NotePad. Please report any links included by mistake.

Cabs post

Common to both:

1. No radio included. 1.59.XX.XX is what I use / No initial splash integrated (can use this one), flash without fare / Non bootable from SD, needs pc to flash it / Usual disclaimers apply.

2. Folders and shortcuts rearranged, using basically Bluemetalaxe Icons

3. No additional footprint: registry keys not used are deleted, icons replace the original ones, etc. (ongoing work to clean garbage left by the flash process in \windows like provxml files, duplicate shortcuts, etc).

4. After flashing XDA_UC will start and install any tsk/cab/reg/xml etc silently. Please look in the forum for instructions on how to use. After first boot, the network customization will be launched and showcase will be fully configured ("X" at the top-right corner).

5. Mortscript will be used but only "static" mortscript so not to penalize performance/battery: no scripts doing this and that every x time. Only scripts based on system notifications or processes.

If somebody wants a naked version I will be happy to remove any programs you ask me to whenever a cab installation is available.

If somebody wants a standard or full version, ... well.... do not ask me to do it better than pcarvalho or kostas or gullum, in fact this rom has no development, is mostly customization and benefits from their work and others with the new builds porting and the kitchen release and the software integration.

Beta testing only (see above for stable versions): Lite + Many shortcuts

I will appreciate suggestions, feedback, help, etc.

Hope you like it !
