[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ralphusion:
This new ROM is a clean slate ROM and the first batch of my own cooked kitchen set with utensils et al, merged, sorted and built from scratch. With a number of speed tweaks to further increase the speed of this ROM, I've also added some enhancements like Auto Date/Time Picker from Cell site, Unattended Installation upto 2nd Boot, Full support for XDAUC with a multitude of user customization options. I'll be working on more mods and enhancements with future builds.

I need to mention that that I was earlier using l3v5y's kitchen for all ROMs before version GT1G and has been an inspiration and guide for some time now. Of course the likes of Da_G will always be in our mentors list.

I would also like to extend my thanks to Makeveral (incredibly efficient BsB ROM and his useful apps), Mr Makk (awesome tutorials), Ervius (kitchen) and yozgatg (packages and Android Bootloader) for their extended work in XDA, and last but not least, all users of my ROM who have given me valuable inputs and feedback, needless to say without which I wouldn't have been able to get anywhere with my ROMs.

Before I make this sound like an Oscars speech, here goes the latest ROM.

ralphusion Lite ROM (RaL.GT1K)

So folks, version K finally here after a long hiatus. K has some noticeable bug fixes, some minor new adds, apart from which it is pretty stable as always. Do note that there might still be some minor quirks (like some bottom icons not showing in the edit contact screen). Unfortunately I really haven't had the chance to look into them.

Amongst the noted fixes though, we have the scroll wheel working now, it skipped my earlier build for reasons unknown. The auto rotate which was never really in good books with me, works throughout the device now thanks to Zensor 2 which has been added as a UC option. There are other minor pieces which improves performance as well as an experimental game fix which I picked from the forum but haven't tested yet, which attempts to fix some of the games reported to not work. A revert on the OpenGL drivers should pay providence to some of the reported OpenGL apps not working too (although I haven't tested them either).

All in all this ROM should be a better ROM (not all that different though) than the previous ones. Let me know how it goes.

Known Bugs

Battery seems to drain a little faster than in previous builds (feedback here would be appreciated)

Found the occassional crashing of poutlook while using a Gmail account

Sense 2.1 doesn't load after a soft reset (Workaround: Disable Sense from Home-Items, soft reset and then renable Sense after bootup)

Provider settings (gprs, mms etc) won't load. Seems like a broken package. I'll try and fix this in the next release

Screenshots:

Note: The Sense background seen here isn't included in the ROM. Also I haven't auto selected the Home theme (amarullz) at boot. I'll do so in future releases.
