[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] qbus00:
Hello :-)

There are lots of ROMs for Topaz to choose from, but none of them suite my needs. That's why I decided to create my own...

The general idea was to create 6.5.3 based ROM with Topaz 2.53 packages (so with Manila 2.5.20113030.0 and Topaz dialer).

There is also COM2 (with Start menu at top) version available. It has the same tweaks as 6.5.3 version. Differences between them are described in changelog.

The ROM looks pretty close to stock one but is tweaked to be as fast as possible and I removed as many bugs as I could found (also those introduced by HTC).

Now with kitchen. To start cook your own ROM just unpack content, run osKitchen.exe and select one of projects from Projects\HTC Topaz folder.

If you like my ROMs and wanna donate here is a link to do so:

There are two versions available - with HTC Messaging (QBUS00H) and without HTC Messaging (QBUS00).​

This ROM was created using OS Kitchen.

Changelog:

QBUS22:

COM2 upgraded to 21909
