[HD2 General] l7777:
RIM And Apple have stellar devices and user experience because of one thing, they control the device 99.999%. Everything from the hardware to the software. That allows them to ensure a good user experience. WM and Droid, to a lesser extent, do not have this advantage. They only give minimum specs and an OS, then it is up to the hardware manufacturer and carrier to develop the user experience. The hardware vendor doesn't care about user experience as long as it runs. The carriers just want to peddle their software and services. As a result, you get devices that are full of quirks, annoyances, and bloatware. It is extremely obvious if you even casually browse XDA that people buying a HTC/WM device are not happy with the experience. Just go see all the hundreds of threads complaining about drivers and performance for various devices. Most forum members are content to download a cooked ROM and go with it but those people are only the minority. Microsoft and Google are attempting to grab a bite of the majority with W7P and Nexus phones. I can't say I blame them. I enjoy my WM phone and can do quite a bit with it, but the user experience is horrid when compared to that of my fiance's BB Storm 2 or an Iphone when handed to a person unfamiliar with smartphones. There will always be a way to break into the phone and tinker with it. WM7 will be broken just like the iPhone and Android based phones.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shah1237:
Why is this rom different than anyother rom.

The reason is * Freedom *.

Yes, a rom which lets you decide what you want.

Wat about things that you dont want?... well the rom is cooked with minimum stuff, so the stuff in there is required.

*** Freedom Is Yours ***

(Link to the rom is only send on user request)

Well I tested the rom on my phone for 24hrs and it is working fine. I changed the manila version and packages.

I have mailed the download link to all the users who were willing to test the rom. If you haven't received a mail from me, please pm me.

Base Os: W6.5 (24006)

Manila: Manila 2.5.20121412.

Packages: T-mobile Leo 2.10

Tweaks: Manila flip clock fix and Lock screen fix (The first time you lock the screen you will notice some lag, but after that every time it will be instant.)

Well as I said, with this rom, you can choose what you want.

No themes, applications, graphics driver (neo)…

Changelog:

Updated sys to 24006

Tweaked xip and sys

Pagepool 18mb

1. Footprints does not work. You need to install Mort script for which the cab is attached in Post #9.

2.Removed e-book reader from the manila tabs, it’s a resource hog and a useless application for many. However, if you still want that application , here you go, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=642463

F.A.Q

1.The rom does have the htc keyboard, but you said you will only have stock keyboard?

With the testing of beta v1 of the rom, there were some issues with installing other keyboards. In order for the rom to function properly, it was required for me to cook the htc keyboard.

2.Rom does not have any theme?

Choose the one you like. I recommend Condor GT black. Search on the forum you will get the link

3.Rom does not have any performance drivers?

Choose the one that you feel works best for you.

I highly recommend installing one of the drivers available from here,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442712

I suggest neo_2007_3, but the roms works well with other drivers as well.

GFX boost is also great but it also drains battery a lot faster.

4.It does not have browser apart from IE?

You choose, which browser you want to use. Opera is highly recommended, but you can also go with sky fire, bolt, etc.

*** W6.5 & Manila 2.5 is not a supported OS for our device. So have some patience when operating them. ***

What about a pure, nice and clean 24001 rom with an always-updated and ready-to-be-installed .cab collection along?

This way, apps can be installed just as needed, and the overall performance could be way better.

Just my two cents.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] teo74:
the idea seems very interesting!

I think you should also attach in the first post a list of useful software, or at least give a link for each application you took off the rom so that anyone interested can find the latest releases.

That would be very convenient and would attract a lot of attention too, I suppose.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shah1237:

I will try to provide as many links as I can.

Flashed it this morning. The only thing I noticed so far is, that HTC album is installed, but not linked inside the start menu.

Other than that this rom seems like a keeper to me. Lightweight, fast and fluid.

I'll have an eye on battery cosumption and report back.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shah1237:
I removed the link from start menu as it was redundant with windows picture and video viewer.

Do let me know about the battery consumption.

Did you install any performance drivers like neo or chainfire?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shah1237:
Np.

I am a users myself, so cooked the rom which i want in my phone.

There are some bugs reported by users, but there arent that major and some users will not even care about them.

But hopefully i will ironed them out before i release a full version.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Z3rO`:
No problem, I made a link myself, so no big deal.

I installed the chainfire HD2 patch, since a lot of ppl reported that it works fine on our blackstones. No problems so far.

Another thing I installed is the Mylocation rilphone, so that I can update mylocation without wifi enabled.

I'm using radio 1.17.25.09 btw.

Found 2 bugs, unfortunately those are showstoppers for me. Could be related to my carkit, but I always see the same caller ID for outgoing and incoming calls. Its the ID of the first caller that called me after a softreset.

Second bug is, that bluetooth turns itself off with no apparent reason. Other than that I still like the idea of freedom of choice.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ICV:
Same bug here. Sometimes first ID caller, sometimes none (blank ID)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shah1237:
Can you provide more information like any other application you installed.

maybe any tweaks, themes, etc....

if any other testers can confirm the same apart from ICV.

did you install any other program,tweaks,themes etc...

information will be useful for me to identify where the problem lies. :)

hi, I installed the v2 beta and it doesn't have the call history tab for manila 2.5.

Not that I will die without it, but that made me think that it could be useful to provide a list of cabs to instal the missing tabs together with the rom.

What do you think?

bug report:

I found that the link in manila tab settings>security>factory reset is not working (it says that "ClearStorage" file cannot be found)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shah1237:
Well there aren't any missing tabs from the rom.

The call history tab is an extra modification.

You can install it from here.

Reason there is no list of software as i want users to click on search and do it by them self.

Also, these is a beta rom, i will put some important links once i release a final version.

Hi,

X1 is my first WM phone. So far I am quite happy with but... :-).

For the last year I have been using it with Spb Mobile Shell on top which made everyday experience with the phone much better than WM 6.1 on its own.

Now, as I see all those ads with new Windows 6.5 it seems to me tat this system is even more user friendly.

Questions:

1. Is it worth to flash my rom to 6.5?

2. If so... which ROm should I choose? (there is quite a few of them and as you can see... me - no expert!:-)

I just want something better, more finger friendly, etc...etc...

Please, all suggestions (and direct links) are welcome.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iulyan:
You can make it more "finger friendly" with softtouch cab...

The 6.5 works faster for me than 6.1 ;)

I have Energy ROM
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galtom:
I am quite happy with screen responsiveness :-), although I will try X1 Softtouch.

I was hoping that with new ROM, phone will get (beside new to eye icons) faster, more phone like maybe a bit more stable.

For example I am sick with this tine "x" (to right corner of screen) that I need to use to close almost all aplications. Why did MS not made it bigger?

I would like to change the look and usage of msg. tree.

To all you that made a swap from WM 6.1 to 6.5 - any pros and cons? Or not really much of a difference and I will not get anything more than I already have wit SPB Mobile Shell?

[Palm Treo 750 ROM Development] einsteinecker:
Wow, I really like this ROM. I thought nav's was cool, this is even better! As with nav's ROM, I'll pitch in with some bug reporting.

-Palm's messaging app cannot be closed. It can't be exited, apparently, when I tap the close button on the bottom right it won't close the program. I used Wakutask to minimize it but that's the closest way to minimizing it on one tap (another way to minimize it it to open Start ->Show Today and it should go to the RAM.) Unfortunately, I am unable to use the Task Manager to close it as well. Only a Reboot will clear it away.

-Where is the "Keyguard" control panel applet? I want to turn off keyguard but cannot find the option.

Some other none-Palm related issues:

-When I install FileExplorer Ext, it freezes the phone randomly. Could be a probem with it, so I use Resco explorer for installing cabs :/

-HTC Task Manager doesn't work. Does anyone know which task managing progam is good for the new close button position?

-The aforementioned Waku Task works as designed, but as I mentioned earlier the close button no longer works at the top right (it would if you enable X-button skinning), but having active tasks still on the top bar is great :)

So, seeing how good this ROM is, minus the above issues, I'm wondering what should we call this ROM? Mietas edition? :)

Thanks again fo keeping the Treo alive!
