OK, all you flashing addicts, here is another WM6.1 rom!
This is Based on Josh's Saphire Pro Kitchen, with my fixes/updates. I wanted a simple but full rom with the least amount of configuring/installing/changing of things as possible, with decent free storage/program memory, stable, and this is where it is. I removed a couple things so it should be ok to release here on xda dev (paid for programs removed).
I want to thank ivanmmj for the lzx compression. The full rom is around 61 meg of free storage, and the lite rom should be close to 70!
A couple screenshots. If someone takes some screenshots, I'll post them here.

I like the rom
I'm running the one I made with my extra software in it (non free software), but other than that it's the same.
I flashed the rom and so far everything seems to be fast and stable.
However, I had some minor problems.
* After the initial startup, file explorer extension wasn't working. I had to uninstall it and install my own copy to make it work.
* There are some cab files in the /Windows folder. Are they really supposed to be there? It seems like a waste of ROM space to me.
* The X-button software has some messed up fonts. Instead of the names of the software, when I click and hold on the x-button, I see some squares.
* It seems like you included the Helvetica font. Where is this necessary? If it is not required by a certain software, I would remove the font completely.
* This is a personal preference but instead of the bulky and slow Opera, I would include Skyfire. It is much much faster than Opera.

I knew you guys could find stuff I missed!
I realized I don't have the latest file explorer extensions in there, I'll upgrade it for the next release, hopefully that will fix it.
I put the cab files in the windows directory because there is no extrom, os and splash screens only. Maybe I can figure out how to edit the extrom eventually. I'll remove the spbcalculator from the windows directory. the cinc_011.cab is for my operator, I might have to split into 2 builds if this takes off!
I just searched my entire kitchen for the Helvetica font, and I just don't see it anywhere. Did you install something else? Same for the x button, the one I have in there shouldn't pop up anything when you hit the "X" button, unless from the today screen (and mine seems to be fine from the today screen). Do you possibly have a sdconfig file to install things on 1st boot? This is uc compliant. Interesting, I'm not sure about these 2 issues.
And, I will look into skyfire. Maybe you'll convince me to switch!
Thanks for trying my rom, and for all the input! I will try to work on the issues and get another version up.

Now you got me confused I installed a couple of things but I don't think any of them installs Helvetica. Hmm. And I tried HTC x-button before. Never had this weird font issue. I will try to take some caps if I have some time.
By the way, these are only minor issues. The ROM is still quite fast, stable and functional.
Ok, I checked under /windows and appearantly there is no helvetica font. However, when I change font type from Office Word, I can see Courier New, HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin, HelveticaNeue LT 55 Roman, PDC and Tahoma. I know PDC is for Pocket Digital Clock and Tahoma is the default. But the other fonts, as far as I know are not default in WM6.1. Do they maybe come within Office?
I think the wierd font issue in htc x-button may be related with this PDC font. I remember some discussion about that font, that it messes up some applications. Am I the only one who has this problem? Weird.

Interesting! I just reflashed to v2, because I was testing (and bricked, then had to unbrick). All I see under fonts in office is Courier New, PDC, and Tahoma. I'll have to search for the Courier New (at a different computer right now). I don't have the issues, with the fonts that are in it right now, with x button. It kinda looks like something else might be installing the other fonts.
I'm also working on figuring out the extended rom so I can make a couple more things uninstallable.
USB to PC settings are under an icon entitled "Keypad QuickTasks". Why is the icon titled so? Default provider is "CBW" - that's easy enough for me to remove. Can you move HTCAlbum to Multimedia folder? Default Today shows double date info - one entry from Today and another from Pocket Digital Clock.
Trying to connect my Motorola S9 headphones produces "Problem with Bluetooth Hardware" message. That's one I've never seen before. (edit: BT is fine now. Apparently, I have to manually turn on BT in Com Mgr before attempting to find BT devices. I guess I'd never noticed the need for the extra step.)
Thanks for cooking this.
(edit: after using most of the day today, battery depletion seems excessive. From 100% battery to 67% battery after one 30 minute conversation with BT headset.)

Please Post ONLY real feedback from Black 2! Real Issues, Real Suggestions, etc... provide as much information as possible and If you have already come across a FIX, then post it too.
If this thread becomes out of hand as the last, then it will not be made public.
For people who keep requesting the download link for BLACK 2.0, if you care to check the WIKI you will see that its there.

Thanks,
JJ
P.S. Thanks for all the messages and support, I have releived some stress and now I might consider getting back in the,,,,, wait for it...., ****en Kitchen! (dont throw a bible at me for swearing)....
Welcome back jj
Just ignore all the PMs and crap from the whiners and the dickheads - hell, post the rom with a different userid and ignore all crap they fling
in the PM box
I might have sounded off about everything that's going on in the WM7 thread but it is a shame that people like me who don't post a lot but read a lot, lose access to the time and effort you guys put into these ROMs.
NOW PUT YOUR ****EN APRON BACK ON AND GET AT THAT STOVE MISTER ;-)
---
Don't let the b******s get you down!
BTW, I realsie there's no feedback on Black 2 in the post (OK, hitting myself already ;-) but it has just been rock solid for me.
I will edit this post and add something useful here today - i promise
Edit:---
OK, thought of something Would it be possible to add something like psshutxp to build so that when the "uneducated masses" (I don't like labelling people n00bs ;-) make a reg change that they've read in the wiki (yeah, right) they can use that to then restart the phone rather than complain when the registry changes don't take?
Sorry jj, best I could do - it really has been the best ROM so far and I've had no issues with it out of the box - but I can see this being one of those handy additions
OK, so how about this as a skin that will suit psshutxp on a black ROM? Perfect if you ask me...not my work though so I can't take credit. I believe is was a guy called xcilion http://xcskins.50webs.com/index2.html
Hope you don't mind the suggestion, but there is a problem with voicemail notifications that seems to affect only Orange customers. This has been fixed and the fix will not interfere with anyone elses voicemail. Would you consider adding it to your ROM even though it affects only a minority?
BTW - great to hear from you again - hope you had a couple of cool ones with the donation I sent!
The fix just involves running the sdkcerts.cab file and replacing the sms_providers.dll in the windows directory with the one in the enclosed zip file
Please EDIT your post and attach the FIX for ORANGE customers.
Three issues with Black 2:
1) In messaging - when you select an email to open and press the action button (center of D-Pad) it often bounces you out to Today screen. Then pushing Messaging button takes you directly to the email.
2) Removing Battery and Wireless Icons from Systray (using HtweakC) cause device to slow right down and pretty much die. Putting them back and device speeds up again.
3) Windows Live - using the messenger no problems, but cant remove the email account it creates called Windows Live (am guessing thats as hard coded as MS acn make it?).
(Sorry they are issues and no fixes - and welcome back- otherwise its VERY stable - one beer sent!)

Q: Do SPB Pocket Plus and SPB Weather work ok?
A: Yes & Yes although I personally favour SPB Mobile Shell
From the Guru JasJamming himself
To be honest, althought SPB pocket plus doesnt cause boot issues on Black 2, it does hog your memory.
I ended up using SBSH instead and my memory is great. I dont have the memory leak issues as some have reported. These are the apps I use everyday and the usage frequency:
1. sbsh pocket breeze: all day long
2. sbsh ilauncher: while in the car
3. spb gprs monitor: all day long
4. WMLive: when out of office
5. TomTom nav6: driving to/from work etc.
6. Check emails every 5 minutes
My memory on a fresh SR is around 27MB with the above plugins etc and after a days usage its around 23mb.
One thing i have noticed, WMPlayer, if i load that piece of crap, my memory gets eaten up, and for somereason after I close it, it doesnt free up all memory but hey its Windows right. Now I use pocketplayer.

Man you had me worried for a minute there.....Glad to hear from you.
1. Ringtones settings reset to default after prolonged usage of phone.
2. Please implement the wifi fixes for the bubble.
3. Can you fix the nice softkey applet - htccalendar link. I just replaced your SoftKeyApplet.cpl with that SoftKeyAppletEx.cpl but I like your interface better.
4. You may not like this one but Kypur and LSVW have some nice default alarm sounds in their ROMs. Can you replace yours with some of theirs.
Once again...Glad to hear from you. Peace paypal something your way>>>
I don't know if this is just related to my Hermes, but anyway I post it:
Earlier today I turned my Hermes ON again after leaving it OFF for almost 2 days with Black 2.0 inside; Instead of loading the OS, my XDA Trion went directly to Bootloader mode and then had to make a soft reset.
memory leak.
i remember reading about someone else having a memory leak on the original black 2.0. i am having the same problem. i have removed everything other than the rom and the "fix" cabs and still seem to have about 1Mb less program memory per hour without any programs running. if there is something else you need from me to help figure out if this is something with the rom install or a hardware probelm.
ps. glad to see you cooking again
wifi ap missing
i notest that some people was have problems with the wifi with this new rom becuse it happend to me when i flashed it.
*fix* i found on my own just want to get it out.
soft reset your phone with the wifi on and the aps should show up.
hope this helps.

I'm wondering if M$ is just handling memory differently in WM6 than they did in WM5... Taken a page from Linux memory management perhaps?
Glad to see you back with a future release, I always had a small issue with my phone answers the incoming calls while being taken out of the belt pouch, is there a way to have a new aplet to control actuating answering only through the green button.
And many thanks for the greatest ROM ever.
Mr. JJ,
Though I am not actively posting messages here, I am really support your Black edition WM6, I installed 1.2 and now 2.0, and happy with it's speed and stability !! Support u and your contribution !
I almost have no problem with 2.0 SPB Mobile Shell + SPB Diary + CE 2.8 R3, but when I turn off the screen with power button and try to turn on again, the screen will sometimes still in black unless I push the reset button.

Same here...Setting up my AP was smooth. Then once I tried to reconnect after powering off the AP was not available. FIX was checking the "THIS IS A HIDDEN NETWORK BOX". Soft resets did help me.
2 issues
1) Is there a way to make the windows live messenger only connect in Wifi Mode and thru USB cable.. Or not make it connect to 3g/Gprs ... it gets annoying after a while.
2) Anyone who installs SPB software should be aware that it can possibly screw up your WIFI connection and deem your hermes unable to use wifi. The reason i know this is because after i hardresetted my device with only resco explorer installed...i could use the wifi again...
First off let me tell you black is the best operating system i have used on my 8525 fastest, no more soft resets, no more problems thank you for this build of wm6
running
Pro Black 2.0
radio 1.34.00.10
HERMES100
CINGULAR
boot 1.06
i have used the ipl-sspl spl-1.09.ds by DES to upgrade everytime with no problems
theses are issues i have but cant seem to find the fixex for them
cingular keyboard fix symbols are all wrong (i searched can't find cab)
everyone tells me they hear me very loud when i am speaking normal on speaker phone and also speaking into the phone (i thought it was from radio 138 so i put back to 134 and same prob) could this be caused by black 2.0?
i never had this prob before
and that is all i have noticed
and most important PLease included me as one of the lucky people who get to download and use black as their os on my 8525 thanks

1) My understanding is that MS and the networks agreed that messenger would try to use GPRS first - for income purposes - but all you have to do is hit cancel when the device starts to make the gprs connection.
2) I dont think there's any logic to your suggestion - the reason I think that is that I have SPB pocket plus installed and my wifi works fine.

Man your setting yourself up for a flame homie. I typed "Keyboard fix" in the "search this forum" button and found this on the first page http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36144&d=1175128576
So far Ive been using 2.0 since it was presented, and for the life of me, I cant find anything at all wrong with this rom, besides the wifi bubble thingamabob! I mean I work the hell outta this phone, with numerous apps intalled, and everything work as it should!
8525, radio:1.34, hard spl, black 2.0,
apps:tcpmp, tomtom6, netfront 3.3, sbsh PW, MS live search, Tengo thumb, Tengo KB, Bandswitch, resco photo viewer, palm msg, logmein, flash7, reset scheduler
JJ, I am sure it was good to take break and have a beer
I added a couple of wma files in the windows folder because I wanted to use a different ring tone for incoming calls. When I go under sounds and notification and choose phone:incoming calls, I don't see the new ring tones.
I tried placing the files in the ring folder which is under the windows folder as well and still no go even after the soft reset.
Black 2.0 and the rest of the information is in my signature.

I added a couple of wma files in the windows folder because I wanted to use a different ring tone for incoming calls. When I go under sounds and notification and choose phone:incoming calls, I don't see the new ring tones.
I tried placing the files in the ring folder which is under the windows folder as well and still no go even after the soft reset.
Black 2.0 and the rest of the information is in my signature.

you need to put the files in the my ringtones folder under my documents
I have tried hundred of variations of ROMs and applications and this is the best combo I have found so far. Along the way I have had to reinstall ROMs many times to get the cleanest combo of programs that integrate together and this is my list of what works. Basically I just like to keep changing ROMs to play with new things and these are the apps and themes I found myself reinstalling over and over again so I figured if they have made it through my torture testing and I still keep installing them maybe they will work for you too. This collection probably works on most lite editions of ROMs but the majority of my testing has been on Schaps and everytime I think I find another one that might be better he releases a new one and I keep going back.
I have the Palm threaded SMS program which integrates very well with default wm6 stuff like notifications and creating new SMS. Its got the PocketCM 0.16 which I think is the best contacts program especially for use without a stylus. I am not a big fan of the HTC home so instead I include HTC Plus which is a lighter app that looks awesome. Its got a bunch of other stuff for weather, wifi and watching movies, so check it out. This is just a mod for Schaps ROM so you will basically have to install these one at a time to put them on your phone (preferably from your storage card). It may take longer this way but you get your phone set up exactly the way you like. The Keller Spec mod includes 13 core programs, 16 optional programs or alternates of core programs, and 17 themes.

thanks for cooking us a rom! do u have any screen pic's or does it look like schaps?
This is not a Rom. These are add-ons to schaps Rom.
That is why two links are provided. One for the Rom and one for the optional progs.
lame........cook a rom guy. pointless to just list what you are using. anyone can do a search and come up with exactly what they want and install it themselves.

The Schaps ROM is awesome, I didn't want to mess with it, I have spent a lot of time figuring out a nice combination of programs, and I just want to share what I know works well together and maybe save some people the trouble. I really love the Schaps full version but it just had too much stuff in it, I liked the lite version but ended up having to reflash the ROM dozens of times after adding programs and .cabs that didn't work together or that created crap I didnt want or left crap on the phone after removing or messing up the regular programs. If nothing else its a good collection of up to date apps and a good collection of themes that are all named consistently.

Don't see what's lame about someone new experimenting with Roms and cabs to come up with a good working solution and then posting his findings to help the rest of us. I wasn't aware of the Keller Spec Mods until this post.
Cheers for the info Brandenk.
Have just gone for the light Pandora Naked Rom so I also appreciate a list of up to date suggestions for addons. thanks!
can i ask what home today plug in is used in this rom it looks like htc home plugin but the clock is much nicer and it looks much cooler
NOT LAME
WIND YOUR NECK IN
appreciate the list mate
its nice to see that someone has found a rom and taken time tell us what apps integrate without issue
nice post
definitely not lame! this is exactly what i need! thanks for providing this man. i like schap'sbut i have issues with purple and choices of applications. your list definitely saved my time.
will you keep the list of applications updated though,if there are newer versions of the apps or if schaps updated his rom to 4.21 and beyond?
The home plug in is HTC Plus v2.0
And yes I will be updating this regularly. As I find cool new programs and updates or even conversions like the potential in the PCM programs I will post it here.
Cool, Thanks for the effort...I see nothing Lame about it....
just what i was looking for.. thank you.
would you be able to help me with two things.
1. how do i set the sm thing to be black and use that as my default contact list.
when you said to "copy it to device" it automatically saves it under "My Documents". I used activesync to transfer it.
2. ........ son of a *****.. i can't remember. ummm.. hmmm..

For some obscure reason I cannot get to your addons file on Rapidshare so cannot get it from there.

Nice post
I too using Schaps roms - Thay are excellent - but I love spb pocket plus 4 it works flawlessly with his roms, instead of HTC home.
Some nice programs too.

I transfer the Addons folder to a memory card and transfer it to the Programs folder on the phone, so if you are in your my documents just go up one level and you will see the programs folder. Then use the Advanced Config setting from Schaps to set the right soft key to PocketCM.exe.

STFU. This is very useful. Brandenk has spent a lot of time testing this stuff and it can save other people a lot time in working out what things to run.
The only thing that I cant find is a internet sharing cab. Can someone point my in the right direction? Or is it better using remote desktop?

Try searching this site with Google, if you search for something like, hermes internet sharing, you should find it. Another great place that I didnt know about until recently is the Development and Hacking forum under General Discussion.
http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all
I use remote desktop or just enable it through activesync so Im not really sure.
Due to personal issues, I will temporarily only be able to list The.Decoy's ROMs here. I am unable to cook for a bit.When I get a chance, I will be back to play with mods again. Enjoy His work as it appears to be shaping up nicely! Most of the information below needs some updating, so I will get to it soon as I can.
UPDATE!!! NEW ROMS & 6-IN-1 KITCHEN RELEASE
23102, 24001 & 28014 - Trinity & P3600i
PLEASE SEE POST #233 ON
THIS PAGE
Notice! The following specs are no longer accurate, but are probably very close:
P3600 Specs:
22.22MB Free Ram - After using all day, it settles in to 18-20MB
46.88MB Free Storage
P3600i Specs:
21.71MB Free Ram
13.84MB Free Storage - Ouch! I'll get this better. I need to selectively RecMod Packages, but currently figuring them out. Although, with your extra storage space on the i series, this may not be an issue, huh? It's sure a fast ROM this way.
These specs are from my P3600/Trinity with HexEdited, so not very accurate!! Can I get feedback on what you actually have on your P3600i's?
Featuring: cHome Titanium with My Blue Theme and My Custom Icons
Kitchen and XIP/SYS were a joint effort from myself and The.Decoy. I had trouble with getting the XIP/SYS complete, and he helped me finish it so it worked. The Kitchen is The.Decoy's new Kitchen and my EXT parts combined.

After Flashing, give it some time. It takes a LONG TIME to finish loading the first run. Immediately after flashing, I recommend running the FingerKeyboard Setup found in the 'Tools' Folder. Then use the 'nueSIPDefault' also found in the 'Tools' folder to set your desired Keyboard. See Video Above.
For those who don't like being stuck with BLUE all the time, here are my themes for these ROMs:

Super Ultra Lite Version !!!!!
YA! That's just what I expected. ^o^
God Bless
God Bless You !
FYI
The.Decoy is generous enough to look through my Kitchen for errors and will help me fix them. When that is done, I will release a better version. The first one was a test to see if I could make one boot.
I'll get back to you soon. Possibly tomorrow, even if the.decoy has not had a chance to go through it all, I will see about getting a Super Ultra Lite version out.
Then, after he gets a chance to look it over, I'm sure you will get some fun stuff.
Crossing Fingers
Anyone tried the P3600i version yet? Does it boot? Work? Crash?
OK, I decided to drop a Super Ultra Lite pre-version on you tonight. It's 2:00am here now, so I may have left something out. I'm going to bed now, but if you find anything wrong, or would like to see changes, please leave feedback and I will see what I can do when I'm awake agian.
Good Luck and Enjoy!

a version with EzKeyboard & Video Calls and that would seriously ROCK!
Happy to see you back on track SuperSport...So what happen with wifi with this ROM ?

I'm not sure if Video Calls work yet in 6.5.3. Do you know of a ROM where it works? I'll look into this if I can find a source for a working Dialer.

I'm not fully back on track, but I miss doing this stuff.
I don't know what to say about the WiFi issue. I'm recommending to everyone to only flash your ROMs AFTER going into the Windows Mobile Tri-Color Boot Screen. Power/Camera/Reset. My WiFi is still down on my Trinity, so I have no way of testing it on these releases. Hopefully, we will find a fix for the WiFi issue soon.
I've got a big message on Today Chome :

Which version are you running? The Beta Expiration has been removed, that text is only Text and can be removed through the Registry. I thought I had done that, but again, at 2:00am, I obviously missed something.
I'll try to put together a Cab file for those who have already downloaded this ROM and don't want to download a fixed version.
Well full version the one I found in 28014 folder above the UL folder...
wow, great to see you again! Waiting for updates since weeks
it is possible to have a version without Chome? i'd like to use SPB Mobile Shell. Thanks alot!

The Super Ultra Lite version does not have CHome. Also, I'm rebuilding and uploading the Kitchens, AutoFlash and RRU's right now. Should have them up within a couple hours. From the Kitchen, you can add remove any of those items. Custom ROMs. If you would rather not try cooking, then I will work it out for you.
I don't know how many personalized ROMs I can build, but if people can be patient, I will attempt to try a few. What I would be willing to do is start from the Blue version and drop anything people want left out. Adding things is a little more time consuming and might be done on a case by case basis, depending on the need. Some Packages I might already have and it would be easy to add them. Or, if you provide the package, that would help too. Not a cab, but an EXT Package.
First, I want to apologize if anybody had trouble downloading today.
I was amazed that there were over 200 downloads between 3am and 5pm Pacific time. Thank you everyone for checking these out.
I'd still like input on the P3600i versions as I have no real way to test them or see Bugs as you would on your phones (I'm on a Trinity). How's the Memory, Storage Space, Bugs, etc...?
The reason you MAY have had problems downloading was because I removed all the files from MediaFire and re-Cooked and re-Uploaded everything. I also restructured the MediaFire Mirror a little so it was easier to keep track of files from my end.
So, they are back up and rebuilt (Links in Post 1 & 2). Input would be nice if you get a chance. I've been speaking with The.Decoy and he's pointed out some issues I need to deal with, so hopefully I can understand everything he tells me and make these better.
Just for the record, The.Decoy is Incredibly Intelligent, it actually blows my mind what he knows (Many Levels Above My Understanding of All This). A good guy to hang out with, indeed.
Dear Supersport
Had flahed 28014 Blue version for P3600 yesterday and it really took long time to stabalise but after that WIFI and phone all working smoothly. No errors observed till now and will post if any observations are there worth mentioning.

I don't really know if there is one, and it's not that I'm videocalling all the time, actually it's my 4th or 5th phone with that capability and I used it only ONCE on my first phone just to see how it works but I'd like to have all phone features enabled whether I use them or not but I could live without it I guess still it's a bit weird that newer phones are stripped form that feature don't you think?
more important - what about EzKeyboard? imo it's as usable as FK but it takes less screen space so it's a bit more handy (for me ofcourse)

Thank you for the report. Yes, first boot is a LONG boot. I've noticed that since the 23xxx versions. But it does eventually get it done.

Ok, I have to agree. I've NEVER had the opportunity to use the Video Calling feature, but I also feel every available feature should work, Just In Case!
I'll see what I can do. I had a report that the video dialer in my 23504 Blue worked, so I'll try that here. I don't remembe if it disabled the Smart Dialing feature, but it might.
Could you tell us how to remove the beta warning ? or should we reinstall ?
+1 for EZInput especially since it includes predictive typing for foreign language user... would be great to be able to choose to use it... but fingerkeyboard is nice too !
I also wanted to report having a weird message about voice command stoping because lack of ram (I don't use voice command).
Since it's christmas time what about a weather plugin included or even better a preconfigured CDigitalClock :

********************************************
I bricked my Diamond while I was testing out some new stuff on my next ROM release. So for now, this ROM is on hold. Luckily it is a nice stable ROM, so please feel free to keep using it if you wish. I can still try to help with any problems you have.
Don't worry about this ROM, it is completely safe...I only bricked mine because I was testing some new packages.
Thanks for all the great comments...I was really looking forward to creating some great ROMs for the Diamond
I now own an HD2...but I am trying to get enough money together to buy a replacement Diamond so that I can continue this ROM
********************************************
********************************************
I've been playing with my own custom ROM (thanks to Ervius for his amazing Kitchen!), and thought I'd share it with others.
It's been customised to my own liking, so there will be a few settings that are not "default", such as the brightness, text size etc...
I've tried to get a good compromise between speed and memory usage. Everything in Sense 2.5 should work. Other apps that I find useful have been included.
You'll notice the clock says 0:00 when you first boot up. This is a side effect of the Manila clock flip fix. Don't worry, it will change back to normal the next time the minute changes.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN INITIAL BETA RELEASE, TO TEST AND ENSURE THE ROM WORKS AS IT SHOULD. LATER RELEASES WILL INCLUDE A FEW MORE VISUAL TWEAKS AND ENHANCEMENTS. I'M NOT HAPPY WITH THE FOLDER ICONS, SO THEY WILL BE CHANGED NEXT RELEASE TOO.
A SENSE 2.1 VERSION WILL ALSO BE MADE AVAILABLE SOON.

[Current known issues]
- On first boot after customisation, there is a few minutes delay before the device resets. Instead of waiting, you can soft-reset once the customisation progress indicator reaches the end.
- going to sound settings on the Manila settings tab will crash. To fix this, go to Start menu > settings > sound options and close it. After that, the manila sound settings tab will work.
- Camera gives an error. Cab fix in post #2
- Video Calling not working yet
[Notes]
- Please report any issues you find, and any suggestions you have.
- If you want a faster ROM, open Diamond Tweak (in the Tools folder) and set all the Device Performance settings to advised. This will use more RAM but increase performance.
- To enable manila locker, go to the Settings tab > personalise > manila locker. Don't enable backlight setting as it still doesn't work 100%.
- I always suggest flashing a new ROM using internal storage method (reset + volume down + back button). Always Hard Reset after flashing a new ROM.
- If you have any strange issues, please use MTTY and try flashing again

While I have tested this ROM extensively, you use this ROM at your own risk, and I take no responsibility for any damage caused to your device.

looks really promising.
let's try it
waht rilphone.dll is included? 1.15.
Wow, this sounds exciting, scotsman! Great work, I think I'll try this out
But how about available program storage?
And as soon as someone gets this downloaded, there seems to be a serious need for mirrors!
What is the difference between the Qilin dialer and the other ones (Tachi, Rhodium)??
Oh, and last question: Which keyboard is included and what languages? Just the standard 6 or also additional languages (e.g. norwegian)?
I am also going to try ...................! ThAnK YoU cHeF.
Nice nice! Finally released

At the moment there is 65MB free storage. This may change if I decide to remove some applications and let users decide to install them.
Opera 10 takes up 10MB of space, so this is a lot of space if people don't need Opera.
Quilin dialer uses a little less RAM and has support for video calling. But video calling is not yet working.
Only the default languages are included.

Okay, thanks! I hope that next release will have some more storage available, but without removing Opera
Regarding languages, I suppose the ezInput from Gen.Y ROM is possible to install after flashing? (See first post on this thread, under 'Attached cabs')
Mirror
I'm downloading it now, sounds promising. Will mirror to Megaupload if I like it!
How's Don Salari know you?

Now Testing thr ROM...
can't resist this one.....downloading right now, gonna try this weekend.
Tx for sharing scotsman!
Good job The_Scotsman!!! Wait from you Romz with 28*** build! Thx!
swapped from Don's version 2 to give this a try. (for me its the best sense 2.5 there is for diamond so i'm using it as a benchmark)
first well done with the release. i love the look and feel. working through setting everything up and so far
email set up is lovely. runs smooth as silk.
wallpaper works fine
installed the 16 shortcut option. (could be worth adding to the rom)
calander works fine. adds appointments fine
issues with the Album. (it doesnt swap between shots) used the cab from Don's thread which fixed the issues.
auto update on weather works fine
twitter tab works fine
facebook intergration works fine.
contact picker for the contacts tab works fine. and the fb intergration for contact pics works well.
after playing for 30 Mins setting this up running at 72% ram
only had a short play with opera but seems to be running without memory issues.
wifi connecting fine, no issues.
i've not had chance to test gps (i'm old fasioned and dont use quick gps. i have patience but i'll report on my tomtom tomorrow)
in general. i'm not having an issue so have to say you are competing with Don for the most usable 2.5 on the diamond thread.
i would advice adding clean ram 1.9.3 to the rom as it is running on the border of ram usability but full credit for the beta. can't wait for the RC
kind regards, and many thanks
Chris

Thanks for the great breakdown...it's good to know that so everything is being given a thorough test by others...there will always be things that I forget to check.
How is the overall speed? Acceptable or does it feel sluggish? I tried to compromise between speed, ram and having all features included.
The albmu issue you mention...do you mean pressing "albums" in the pictures tab and viewing the pictures in full screen? Which cab are you meaning from Don's thread?

I'll try to help you the best I can with your ROM as it seems promising! Maybe you should put the Megaupload link in your Post 1 to make it easier for people.
Do you know where we can get the working Camera app?
I'm looking to maybe cook my own ROM in the near future. What Kitchen do you recommend?
Thanks for your hard work Chef!
thank for the links
3G Video Calling & Smart Dialing!
Please, ONLY those who are comfortable flashing ROMs try this. If it causes problems, you will need to Boot Into Bootloader and Re-Flash another ROM.
Hello Everyone.
After many months, maybe even over a year (Ever since 6.5 came out), I've been trying to get a working Video Dialer on WM 6.5 ROMs. Well, a couple weeks ago, I had muhammri verify for me that it INDEED WORKS! Not only Video, but ALSO Smart Dialing!
So, with that knowledge, I've tweaked the ROM a bit and would like Video Call testers. I don't have a way to test Video Calling since I don't have anyone to test it with, so I'd like some of you to let me know if the Dialer works properly in this build. If anyone wants to see my Mug, PM me and I'll call you or give you my #. I've NEVER been able to test Video Calling. US only please.
Please keep in mind this is a BETA, and as such, will likely have some issues (Menu not cleaned up yet, Icons need replacing, Likely other issues...). Please point these out to me so I can fix them and get a clean base Kitchen that I can release. I'm anxious to see what others will be able to do skinning the dialer more than I have. (Hint Hint - nAr & icke! )
As always, you Must have HardSPL Installed, and you Should backup all your data.
ROM INFO:
Titanium Build with Home Screen Customizer that allows a weather Panel
I will be making other builds later (M2D, Stripped, etc...)
Includes the new Mail App with Conversation View
Includes the new Contacts App
Free RAM:
23.02MB
Free Storage
47.01MB
Feedback would be appreciated.

FINALLY READY! Download in First Post.
Sorry about that, I accidentially deleted the wrong kitchen and had to find all the parts to put my working kitchen back together again... I'm cooking Trinity and HD2 at the same time today...
OMG!!!!!
Im am so going to try this. and i thought the trinity forums were dead.
Dont working...
23569? I tot it will base from 23504.
anw, I'm downloading it now. will come back with my comment once tested.

Hard SPL : Olipro 1.2
Other software install : Garmin Mobile XT (GPS) after completed flash.
Bug/Error Found:
-error short cut on camera & record button
-Finger keyboard setup error
-Not able to change to personalize ring tone
-Not able to close sound & notification

looks promising, but i'll wait for the kitchen - i prefer to choose included packages myself
OH! It's fantastic! Any Image?
I prefer to wait, but when there is a stable version I try it, for now I like my ROM but the battery is dying.
Thanks Superspot!
I believe that when I deleted the kitchen, I put it back together from the wrong parts. It was quite unstable. I started from scratch and built the Kitchen again. This time, much better. Not perfect still, but better. See Notes Below in RED on what is fixed or not...

So and I . I have downloaded this ROM but not testes yet. Think better wait for the Udate
By the way, Thanks to SuperSport for your amazing ROMs for Trinity. I am one of you fans....
Thank you guys, and I'm really sorry. Between health, Thanksgiving, kids, etc, I have not had much time with this. I will try to focus again as I know Trinity does not get much Love lately.
This is my latest build with a few things fixed. It's still definately BETA, but much better than the last one. There are still some issues, but I will get to ironing them out again...
DOWNLOAD
EDIT: Finger Keyboard Broken...
Really, I'm very excited, but I wait for a Stable version.
Is any possibility of test the ROM in the PC?
Thanks SuperSpot
Great ideea to keep 6.5 at a bare minimum to leave more RAM available for intensive apps such as navigation software!
I just installed it and I have a few problems:
-SD card does not work. works on my computer, tried formating it, no result.
-Device Information and Microphone AGC icons are doubled
-Opera 10 mobile does not work "a critical component is either missing or cannot start..."
Good work so far!
Make it great!
Sorry: I tested the first one so I'll come back after I test the latest!

Thank you for all the reports. It does help. I'm also running into those issues. I've recreated another that has fixed some of them. I'll keep working and get another release out asap.
It seems that when I included all the Video Dialer stuff it breaks other things, but I'll beat it!
It also seems like I'm having trouble with 23569, so I'm backing down to 23504 until I get it stable, then I'll try adding back 23569...
Here is the current one if anyone is feeling daring. I've removed FingerKeyboard and Added HTC EZ-Input, including Compact QWERTY, Full QWERTY and Phone Keypad. Duplicate Icons still exist and Opera is removed till fixed.
alright, so this 23504 is the latest beta right? gonna test it in a minute, as 23102 built from yours and Decoy's kitchen is having some issues because of my changes and i dont remember what i have changed to revert it back but i hope opera mini will work, its essential. also if you're going to cook another betas etc please do version with ez input and finger keyboard separately - there are many of us who highly dislike finger kbd or make it uninstallable. alright, downloaded so i'm going to flash it, cheers!
edit: alright, so it is quite fast (as far as we can say something like that about 6.5 roms ), Opera Mini works fine with wifi, i thought ez input will be v2.1 not v1.5, but its still a beta, so neither this or lack of weather panel is really an issue. what i like is that you didnt include 1000 apps, only the essential ones - this way we can install what we want, anyway first thing ill turn off in the kitchen when its released is additional themes which are so damn ugly i cant stand having them included . will give this rom a try during next few days, probably until another version arrives, looks good so far, keep up good work SS!
edit2: woah! the included chome customizer is ACE ! i've managed to add weather panel easily, and this is much better panel than the one i was used to see in earlier roms! great!
edit3: issues spotted - i cant disable T9 properly, it reenables everytime i start typing a new message etc. also windows media player volume is reverting to 75% no matter what you set each time you run it
this is just a beta and I already love this rom
SS,
apologies, not able to reply as I'm occupied with my work & assignment (part time student).
my pending reply are as follow
-Error to start garmin mobile - "que.exe" NOT SURE WHY. MAYBE UPDATE WILL HELP?
*Not sure, but maybe some thing left out when you cook the ROM, fyi, no issue when I flash with other ROM before
-Video Call Work (outgoing & incoming) Is Video Calling AND SmartDialing working together?
*Sorry, didn't check it, however from its apperance, look like its work I think.
-Change Input Sim Pin Background Color (currently green) Anyone remember where that image is? I can't seem to find it.
*It's the screen where you need to key in your sim card password/pin.
Anw you have done a really good work. Seem like there another beta update. Will download and test it later.

Hey jedai, long time no see. Probably due to my lack of doing anything in the Trinity Forums lately.
Thank you for the input. Yes, the Home Screen Customizer is a favorite of mine also. I like the weather panel it installs. I am not happy with the EZ Input yet either, but I like it better than FingerKeyboard for now. I will try to track down the newer version, as I was not aware of the update.
I think I'll be removing more apps on the next release because I feel the same way about too much stuff that I don't want in my ROMs.
well i wasnt exactly active either there is this "TO:" field bug also - outlook may hang if you choose a name from ez input helper (i hope you know what i mean, i dont know how to call it but it shows you contact names when you just type one letter, and there is one from windows/outlook and one from ez input and the one from ez input hangs outlook when used, especially when xt9 is enabled, which happens to be enabled everytime ez input is used, as i mentioned earlier).
there isnt much more i've noticed, few suggestions maybe - htc connection setup shoud be part of the rom i think, even though its damn easy to find and install. also as i tested some roms recently, both winmo6.1 and 6.5 some of them werent able to play 3gp movies which is kinda weird behaviour for a mobile phone, so i hope this one will be able to play them (i dont have any of these files to test atm). maybe its time also for office 2010? i know besides new nice icons not much has changed if anything, but still - if we weren't for eye-candiness we would stick to wm5.0 dont we?
