[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jakdillard:
Introduction:

I have been around for a few years "cooking" Windows Mobile ROMs for various CDMA devices from the Titan and ending with the Rhodium. I took a break form Windows Mobile and bought an EVO and had cook a few android ROMS, but had gotten very bored with the lack of internal customization of Android, so I decided to buy another WM 6.5 phone and restart my favorite pass-time hobby.

Concept:

The "concept" of this ROM is based off of what HTC did with its Sense interface and how deeply HTC embedded Sense within the Android OS. I like using Sense on Windows Mobile and wanted to do the same with what I believe HTC should have done with WM 6.5.3, so this ROM is alot different from your normal ROM as it is solely based and dependant on Sense.

Features:

This is not a "feature" ROM in fact most of your normal Sense features like Facebook intergration, Twitter, and Footprints have been disabled and removed for the time being since those are services that I do not heavily rely on, however if interest persist I may add Twitter and Facebook intergration later. The ROM does contain most of HTC's common Sense software such as Audio Booster to the Voice Recorder with the removal of the "bloat" software such as the WorldCard Business Card Reader, Java Blend, and JetCet Printing.

Summary:

This basis of this is to remove as much un-neccessary parts of the WM 6.5.3 OS to replace it with Sense to make Sense as much of the main OS as possible.

Instructions for flashing:

This ROM is compatible with all HD2 devices manufactured by HTC.

If you're a beginner, please read as there's a few things you need to do first.

•You need to install a modified SPL on your device that allows installation of custom ROMs such as this one. It's called a Hard SPL and it's here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433.

•You need to install a compatible radio that works with this ROM. The radios that work with this ROM all have ".50" in their name.

If you have a TMobile USA branded device, then you don't need to flash a radio. The ROM will work just fine with it. However, if you own an asian or european HD2 then you NEED to flash a .50 radio.

TESTING THE ROM FOR PERFORMANCE

* Flash the ROM

* Hard reset after ROM Flash orTask 29 before Flashing ROM either choice

* DO NOT INSTALL ANY 3RD PARTY APPS UNTIL TRYING THE ROM FIRST AND READING IF YOUR SOFTWARE IS COMPATIBLE WITH WM6.5.3, This will help to give you the experience of the base ROM

* I dont use 3rd party apps or tweak since my rom is tweaked how i use it daily.

* After testing the rom and your'e happy, Install your software one at a time then soft reset and try the device to see if anything any bugs occur.

Disclaimer:

This is a ROM that I created for myself with me in mind, that I am sharing with the XDA community. If enough general interest is surfaces any feature that is not present or that should be remove will be taken into consideration in future ROMS.
