OK - that COOL but can some one explain me - HOW to read and understand that language ot PDAVIET - Please folks - when you release some information in diferent language try to translate to english so every one can read it.
Please read
Ok apologies for cross posting.... but can you obsessive flashers please read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1110678&postcount=50
and keep in mind the bit towards the end about bad images.
-
Disclaimer... ok just thought I'd better add. I'm not trying to say anyone has put out a bad image. or that anyone is trying to. before anyone thinks I'm claiming that.
Work,on this version,the videocall?
And in the ExtRom that applications are found?

Well so far you are the only one who wrote that and was "kind" enough to repost it again. I believe each person here has the brain to make their own judgement. If they like PDAViet ROM and flash "a lot" so be it. There is no point of trying to convince the others that PDAViet ROM is not good up to your standard. Your "high" standard might not be the same as the others.
It would be best if the developers of these PDAVIET images posted here, then people could ask them questions, and they could respond to bugs etc.
They can carry on posting images on their forum, but I think it's important to realise these roms are posted on a non-english forum, and many people here are flashing it blindly, not knowing if there are things to watch out for, patches or registry imports that should be run, and so on.
I just think it's dangerous the amound of hype surrounding these images when nobody is posting any proper change logs, or able to answer what is changing from one rom to the next.
It's unlikely anything bad will happen, but at the moment, someone saying "wow this is so fast" seems to be enough in people's mind to warrant a reflash.
It's all getting a bit silly imo.

I'm absolutely AGREE with you !!!
Hi imisim,
and that's exactly why I wrote the disclaimer, I obviously didn't write it clearly enough, sorry! I'm saying I don't have a problem with any of these people posting the ROMS (although it would be nice if they produced changelogs saying what they were improving), I don't believe there's any problem with any of the ones they have posted!
The thing I'm trying to warn of was that when people are posting random rapidshare and other file upload service links "HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE???" For example I haven't seen any of these recent ROM images posted with an MD5 sum that can be checked for validity.
Sorry if I didn't make my point clear!
I believe each person here has the brain to make their own judgement.

and I fear you may be too optimistic there!
Cheers and best wishes,
Ivor.

I agree with you however you need to keep in mind that the PDAViet ROM are leased in their site which is Vietnamese.
The change log is there but in Vietnamese.
The problem is not PDA Viet because their ROM is published for their members and most of them are Vietnamese. The link to their ROM as being posted by the xda-developers members and unfortunately most don't read Vietnamese
BatteryStatus issue....
.....after having issues with reseting my device, I realised that BatteryStatus was causing the issue, forcing me to hard reset my device twice....now the device resets nicely.....but can anyone recommend a good small battery indicator, or even a taskbar one?
Thanks
I don't speak vietnamese too, I posted that link just because that ROM is the most stable one I've flashed, and trusth me, I've flashed all!
BTW, I agree with who says that way is not the most secure.
outfocus: I use iLauncher3, but is not free
I have to agree. I'm interested in trying one of the WM6 ROMs on my wizard/xda mini s, but with the frantic whirlwind of posts, follow-ups, and the almost random naming conventions, the whole BBS seems to have become a frenzy and it's now left me at a complete loss as to which, if any, WM6 ROMs I should have a go with.
Add to that a huge amount of "people should just read the threads" posts, combined with maybe 20 topics, each of 20+ pages of crap to read through, and I'm now probably too nervous about bricking my device to try. For example, do I flash the orwell1984 one, and if so, do I need to roll in the WWE stuff, or will it just work? Should I go for the pdaviet ROMs, or not - and if so which is the best?
Is it any wonder people are left scratching their heads?

The change log is on their site and here is a rough translation
- ROM v2.00.04 PV was based on ROM v2.00.03 PV
- Aggressive Reg editing.
- Fix RAM leaked and device hung.
- More available RAM (above 24,25Mb) and guarantee faster
- Some additional improvement and add-on.
just one question: is this ROM same as the ROM in this post(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290865)?
If not, what the difference between them?
Thx.
Pro Differences / Preliminary Review
Sorry Alan but this is the best ROM out there, BUT you need to understand how to use this - let me begin: (in no particular order)
To use ozvga you must load midgets version of ozvga for crossbow.
The following applications WILL HANG YOUR UNIVERSAL:
SPB backup (BUT YOU CAN USE SUNNYSOFT V4)
SPB Pocket Plus (sorry!)
Now you don't need anymore the CB dialer skin, microsoft voice command 1.6 or new menu for wm5 because THEY ARE ALL IN THE ROM! (But don't restore your old WM 5 new menu settings file or you will hang the device!)
This little Vietnamese beauty also comes with a new version of XP shutdown, an amazing smart dialer, remote desktop and streaming media player!
The dfferences in the PRO version are:
The addition of the remote desktop & streaming media player
Added to settings is a customer feedback form and in connections is another icon to the communications manager.
Voice commander is mapped to the record button
Other things YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Soft resetting WM 6 is sometimes a two stage affair. This DOES NOT appear to be a bug but rather an (early) characteristic. If you need to reset 3 times or more the application you just loaded is not compatable.
Activesync 4.5 beta has embedded smarts for WM 6! When you synchronise for the first time it will ask you suddenly if you want to maintain wireless conectivity while docked to active sync.
There is also a newer bluetooth stack & system tray icon. If you use TomTom for example you no longer need to map the incoming port. The option has been removed anyway.
To summarize - this version of WM6 is blisteringly snappy, full of great features BUT NEW... IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK THE SAME AS WM5 AND NOT USE ALL THE SAME APPLICATIONS. But the overall result is fantastic in my opinion.
Regards,
Simon Jacobs

RAM Leaked problem is most important than others, I think.
Hi, anyone know the difference between the 2 rom in its initial release?
Thanks
They're both working beta versions, both have bugs, maybe not the same ones but still bugs.
Unless you want to bugtest the ROMs, leave it for a week or so for the next versions to come out.
These are not ROMS you want to flash if you're looking for a stable replacement for WM5, therefore if you're asking which is best, the answer is, neither, at the moment.
If you want to know the differences, read through the threads for each one and see what problems people are having with them.
well, there's a lot of differences here and there.
Mun's rom is a higher version of WM6, and includes some stuff (office 2007 compatibility) that LVSW's doesn't. Of course LVSW's has some tools and apps that Mun's doesn't have. Haha.. It's pretty tough to compare them.
I will say this, I found Mun's ROM to be a bit faster in terms of bringing up new programs/windows. I dunno if that has anything to do with his customization or just the version of WM6. However right now a lot of people (including me) are having trouble using activesync with this version. I switched to LVSW and am syncing fine now.
There's some other issues here and there regarding VOIP and stuff that separate them...
hope it helps. As always, for comprehensive info, you need to go read the posts..
Well my opinion is that this thread is pointless, try thrm both and you will find out which one fits your needs, thats all, it is not a hard task
so if active sync works in one and not in the other how about some combined work?
How about waiting until a stable release comes out. I mean wtf, it has been a little over a day and people already want the perfect ROM.
Tweaking a ROM takes a lot of effort. Its not always that easy to locate problems and even if you do, they are not always easy to fix.
Give it a few weeks or wait for an official ROM if you can't deal with a few bugs here and there.
Who is complaining? I think you are misreading peoples intentions here by criticising the ROMs. It is in essence part of the testing process that you give feedback and also desire to solve the issues.
Noone is expecting the perfect ROM, but if you dont want the perfect the ROM then what is the point in developing?
I didn't quote anyone so I refered to the previous post by jpless.
Maybe I misread it but he made it sound like it was as easy as putting feature A from ROM1 into ROM2.
Its possible for some parts but could introduce a lot more new bugs.
I'm sure mun_rus and LVSW are well aware of each others Roms, it just takes time to evolve it to the state WM5 is in today. Especially since we don't have an official WM6 Rom.
Sorry for my harsh tone earlier. In time, we'll have a perfect WM6 Rom.
I take them both.
Mun's ROM so Quickly
LVSW was able to sync
Thanks a lot both MUN/LVSW .
@ZakMcRofl
Thanx for comments. You are absolutly right.
Just wait for next release. I have to test new rom before and should say that:
-AS sync - OK
-GPS camera - ok
-etc
I have no chance t otry videocall, so don't know anything about it
I'm waiting for the second betas to come out, and I think I'll jump on Mr. Mun_Rus's rom because, well, I sent him money, so I might as well use the results of that, right?
In the name of healthy competition, I declare that I find mUn's ROM the better of the two after careful evaluation. So im going to go back to mUn's ROM for now. Faster and less buggy camera-wise. Maybe you are tired of this now, but thanks again to both you and lvsw for your work.

You didn't quote but referred? Anywho I know it's not as easy as it sounds, just thought that maybe by comparing the bugs in either one we could maybe help solve some of them or something Just trying to help here...
Usually its considered bad style to quote the person right before you since it takes up board space and is the default reference point anyways.
The problem with the bugs is that you can't always pinpoint them to a single file or module, otherwise what you say would be possible (replace the file from other ROM).
A Rom error can come from a file, a registry entry or combinations of the former. Obviously having a comparison base can help but its obvious that LVSW and mun_rus already use it plenty - check their WM5 AKU 3.5.x Roms for example.
MUn is Best
In all the roms I've tried, Mun was the very first I tried, and although I don't use it any more, It was the most stable, IE I didn't soft reset it unless an installation wanted me to, it never crashed on me.
dude... the last post on this thread was in 2007...

so faria's rom is the only rom that has a working ver of voice command 1.6 ..meaning his is the only ver that will announce incoming calls.. i myself HATE voice command but my buddy wants it.. i loaded his phone w/ schaps rom and he wants voice command to announce the caller name.. would anyone be kind enough to extract the ver from faria's rom. thank you
Can be extracted from here.

Please have your friend see the section on HOW TO BUY

...k first off not what i was asking for.. 2nd thats the OLD build.. the one in farias new rom is a newer build.. 3rd if u try and say im asking for warez you my dear sir are slightly L.D. considering VC is built into WM6 roms..
and if you 2 took enough time to look thru the forum u would see there are numerous links to voice command 1.6 cab files posted in various custom rom threads.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1301496&postcount=2 being the example.... so b4 u open your mouth try and know what your talking about k thanks
i agree jason. what benefits are in the new build.
lol its jacob... and the new build allows the annoucement of "incoming caller" like it will say call from jacob on mobile phone.. and so on.. ALL previous builds mine the one in faria's rom WILL NOT announce on the hermes/tytn device.. there have been tons of threads on different boards complaning about this but faria's build seems to have "fixed" the problem.
yeah i tried farias rom i guess it was just me because i still had to use ms vc fixes. that is really good news if a new build is available. i would be willing to pay faria for this new build if it does indeed work as you suggest.
I have tried to obtain this also but every time there is someone with a negative attitude assuming we are asking for or intend to pirate this application when they know for a fact that the newer build in faria,s rom is not even available to the public!
It's not farias ROM that makes this work. It's the VC version. What I did was loaded faria, copied the VC files (the exe and the system file). Now I own VC so I install my copy onto any ROM, then I load the 2 files from faria. voila, it works.

Care to share your sucessful files with us please?
Are you sure that the announcement works on the loud speaker and not only on Bluetooth?
As far as I know the loudspeaker caller announcement issue is not yet resolved, or am I mistaken (hopefully!!).
I have the older 1.6 Build and it does not work on PDA's with WM6 and Samsung CPUs.
Regards.

The faria one worked thru loudspeaker for me. It even worked when I was on the headset in a call. I was not able to get the correct fix to make it work perfect but I loved the fact it would announce everything thru the speaker at the least.
ooo share the 2 files! please!

So, because a piece of software is bundled with a piece of hardware when it is sold it is okay to extract it and make it available to everyone? That's like saying, hey you got that new pc with office included, can you extract that and make it available because I've got a pc also. Grow up!
I second the request. Also, if posting the unreleased version of Voice Command would be illegal, wouldn't posting Faria's Rom be illegal, too?
FYI, I actually have bought a legit copy of MS VC, which of course does not work with my Tytn. Everything I am asking is that somebody that has installed the Faria Rom to post here the relevant files, for sparing us the trouble of installing the ROM, copying the files and than reinstalling our favourite ROM and applications (I have 20+ programs and it will take me half a day or so to reinstall them and I do not have that time available).
Or, at least, since people may be reluctant to post it on the forum, could somebody please PM me the files (I have bought a legit copy of MSVC 1.6, which of course does not work on my Tytn, despite claims that it should. When I contacted MS, they told me that they are aware of the issue, but they will release a patch sometimes at the end of the year, maybe, but no money back. Great :-( ).
VC 1.6 (17913) works on WM6 LVSW!!
I have installed VC 1.6 Build 1.60.4622.0 on the latest LVSW, then downloaded Faria's WM6, expanded it (using imgfs) then replaced the following files:
1- voicecmd.exe 369kb(4622), 136kb(17913)
2- VoiceCmdRes_PPC.dll 75kb(4622), 86kb(17913)
3- VoiceCommand_PPC.cpl 38kb(4622), 33kb(17913)
4- VoiceCommandWMP.dll 28kb(4622), 12kb(17913)
with their namesakes, after renaming the originals, and now I have announcements over the loud speaker working and version 1.6.17913, I did not try any other function "yet".
From the variance in file sizes, this is either a specific build or some functionality may have been moved to other files in the package. Hence, it may not be enough to copy the above 4 files only; to get all functionality working.
p.s. If I only copy the fist two files, announcements work but I lose the ring tune!!, I guess the cpl to get the version.

@zmanuel - why doesn't your legit 1.6 work with your Tytn? Mine does when I use Jules' cab to enable BT activation. With this build nothing I do gets the VC BT enable to work... (I just reflashed this version to test,as my version is slightly different)
@simple - looking at my kitchen I see that there's more files you need to extract. If I get time I'll post the list. (A file server and I are arguing on who's boss right now so I'm a little busy ...)
No, I'm not in the mood to create a post a cab/ individual files, sorry.

I imagine that you can find faria' rom in a version that isnt big storage..and to retrieve these files would only take about 10 minutes in one of the point and click kitchens...so who's the stupid one?
whats the best 6.1 ROM out there right now and why?
Please no, not another one of these questions. If you are not going to take a bit of time to read or search the forum then just try one of the lastest 19213 builds!
Ive already tried A LOT but nothing compares to Chap ROM with all the applications and stuff.
oh dear... i'm with gwen on this one... hahalololzzz... i'm off or some more reading... what a spectacular 1st post i've ever had here. btw- thx u gr8 pplz!
I agree with wam7. Always a horrible question. Every ROM is different just like every users needs are different. What is the perfect ROM for one, is not for another. Just read more, try as many ROM's as you can, and settle on the one that works for you......
Agree with wam & mike, you need to read the chef's wm6.1 threads / posts for all details & specific. Then flash some to see what fits U best...
Mod...close this redundant thread question!
My opinion is that any ROM that has the essentials that you use is good.
On my ROM, I include what I consider to be the essentials, and not anything else - if you want to add more, you can. Office, WLM, and Voice dialing is included with my ROM, but you can remove them if you don't want them.
I look at the ROMs that have 40+ applications installed as a default and usually think "Wow, I'd never use all that stuff" - but again, this is only my opinion
I was using CRC's WM6.1 v9 Rom, but I had a screen problem so changed to Schaps WM6 v4.31 which didn';t solve the problem (which was a loose D-Pad connector).
BUT, I decided to keep Schaps rom because I missed all the excellent functions it has. It may not be WM6.1 but it's the ultimate rom out there IMO.
best rom = ppc2003. google and install it. its the latest version.

THE BLACKRAIN ROM RELEASE WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
Rom images
PROJECT CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE - PLEASE READ POST ABOVE
Introducing the BlackRain ROM Series, based on Topaz/Rhodium Original ROM's.
UPDATE: I will be posting from my PPC A lot of the time, answering questions and so forth. I'm actually making this post, and trying to answer questions from my PPC right now. For this reason, when you ask a question, look in the Third (3rd) post on this page, and see if you question is answered there. I will answer all popular Questions there instead of posting individually. Also, don't worry. The reason the ROM hasn't been posted is this. I only found a File Host a couple of hours ago. Since then, I haven't been home to post the Files. All these updates and answers are coming from my Diamond. So as soon as I get home sometime thru the night, and get set up on the File Hosting site, I will provide you with a link.
Introduction:
The BlackRain ROM Project was started by myself, and a few friends in the Tech Department at the Company I work for. The Development of this ROM originally began for personal use only, and was never actually intended for public release. However, over the past few weeks, seeing how big the request was for Topaz/Rhodium Ports, we decided to release it here on the one and only XDA-Developers Forum.
BlackRain is a fully functional ROM, with very few, known issues as of right now. However, like any new port, there could be some bugs. Any problems you experience, please feel free to report them directly to me, and we'll try out best to take care of them.
Last but not least, I have to state that this Project will be done at the fastest pace we can acheive. All three members who have been working on this ROM work everyday in ThirdPary Software Development. And truthfully, when we get home, we sometimes do not want to work on anything else. We will log on everyday to answer questions and help you as much as possible, but I will not gaurantee any updates dates, or even guess at them. All I will say is we will have a final version within the next 3 weeks.
ROM INFO:
Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional
CE OS 5.2.21734
Memory: 204.4
Main Features:
* XBmod Manila Rhodium VGA Port (Updated - Minor Issues)
*Topaz Phone Canvas (Fully Functional)
*HTC TouchFlo 3_0_33125_0
*Audio Booster (Tachi)
*HTC YouTube (Tachi)
*Menu Enhancment
*Notifcation Enhancment
*MusicID
*Teeter 1.6
*MP3 Trimmer (Tachi)
*Topaz Keyboard w/Arrows (Portrait/Landscape Fully Functional)
*HTC Camera 6.25 (Bugs Fixed)
*Album 3.0.1914.1129.1 (Bugs Fixed)
*Quick GPS (Topaz)
*Internet Explorer 6 (Fully Functional)
*Opera 9.5 Build 15613
*Much More!
Known Issues:
*When Adding Contact From Call History, Application Will Crash (Manila DOES NOT CRASH. The Call History Screen Simply Closes & You Return to the homescreen when this happens.) Will be fixed in next version.
*Mark All As Read Feature DOES NOT WORK. Delete All Feature still functions perfect. (Will Update In Next Release)
*AudoManager Tab In Manila Crashes. (This Is a Mistake On our Part. We have included a 2 second fix for this which you can download from below. Details Below.
*Thats All Folks!! We have been testing this ROM for three days now on 3 Seperate Alltel Touch Diamonds, and these are the only issues any of us has experienced. We have not had one single crash from manila, nor any other application for that matter. We are not experiencing any of the more commong bugs, such as ring delay from previous s2a versions, or any others. Th eonly draw back on this entire ROM is not being able to add contacts from call history. This feature works 1 out of 5 times, however, IT WILL NOT CRASH MANILA IF YOU TRY!! In other words, this ROM is fully ready for everyday, heavy usage.
AUDIO MANAGER FIX:
To solve the issue with the Audio Tab, simply download the "AudioTab_Fix.rar" rom below. Extract contents into your windows directory, and choose "yes" when it asks if you wish to overwrite any files. You will be good to go then.
We Will have this fixed in the new couple of days. We simply forgot to include these "fixed" files in the ROM.
Thats it for now. I will be posting screen shots within the next hour or so, as soon as I get home from the office. Once we figure out about posting the ROM, I will aslo update the thread with all possilbe information on the ROM (channel log/features/etc.)
IMPORTANT
Ok guys & gals, heres the big catch. We are ready to post this ROM right this second. It's packaged up, and ready to go. However, it is to large to post right here on the forum itself. And like I said, we did not plan on releasing this to the public until here recently, therefore we never set up an offsite account to host this file.
If anyone wishes to host this ROM for us,we would be more than happy to do that. If no one is able to, we WILL NOT BE ABLE TO POST THE ROM until Saturday, possibly even Monday. No matter what, we will have the ROM posted here by Monday Morning. If you wish to host this file for us, just PM me and let me know, or post a comment in this thread. If anyone wishes to do this, it only needs to be hosted until monday, and we will move it to our own offsite account.
UPDATEWow guys!!!! Honestly, when I opened this thread today, I personally thought that you would be waiting until Monday before you seen this ROM posted. However, to my suprise, I recieved 14 replies & offers of file hosting in under an hour after posting!!! THATS AMAZING!!!!! It actually makes me glad to have decided to share this with the fourm!
Now, I have actually found someone to host ALL of the files for me! Not only will we be posting the BlackRain ROM, we will aslo be sharing the OEM Packages for new version of manila, as well as the new phone canvas. But wait, dont worry. If things go as planned, WE WILL HAVE CAB FILES for these applications as well.
I am actually updating you all from my Diamond right this second, and it is getting kind of rough on the eyes . I hope to be home in a few hours, and as soon as I do, I will be sending the files to be posted and will then share the links with you all. Thanks for the support!!!
NOTE: I am trying to answer as many of you quesitons throughout the thread as possible. Keep in mind, I am, and will be doing alot of posting from my PPC due to the crazy hours I work, and the little time spent at home. So if your reply, or any future updates are a little "off/mispelled", just cut me a little slack lol.
THANKS GOES TO:
XboxMod - If it wasn't for his por to manila, we would have probably never even started on this ROM. Eventhough we done some work to fine tune this, all the credit goes to him period!!!
Dharvey - For hosting all the files that are needed, from OEM's to cab's, down to the ROM's themselves!!
I3V5y - For doing the .cab files that will make life so much easier on you all!!!
Much more that I will mention when I'm actually posting from a PC!!!
Q&A
Q&A SECTION
This Post Is Dedicated To Getting All of The Most Popular/Common Questions Answered. When you post a question in this thread, chech this post first to see if you have been answered. (I post alot of updates from my PPC, and this helps me move faster, instead of answering each question with an individual post)
When Will This ROM/Applications Be Released?
The ROM & OEM Packages are already ready to go. The reason they were not relased when this thread was first opened was due to the fact that we needed to find someone to Host the Files For us on an offsite account. WE HAVE FOUND SOMEONE to do that for us. The person will be hosting every file, ROM's, OEM Packages, & Cab Files. If everything goes well with there File Hosting Site, I will have everything posted for you to download tomorrow.
Is this For CDMA or GSM Devices?
Currently, the BlackRain ROM is for CDMA Devices. However, we are planning on releasing a GSM Version as soon as next week. ALSO, we already have the Topaz Phone Canvas Ported For GSM Devices! We will be posting the OEM Package for this at the same time as the ROM.
Will you be relasing the Update Rhodium Manila Port Outside of the ROM?
Yes. We actually have two different, fully functional versions of the XboxMod Rhoduim Manilla Port. One For GSM Devices & One For CDMA Devices. The reason for this was due to the fact that many features that could be used on the GSM Devices, were useless on CDMA. We already have OEM Packages of both versions. More than likely, these will be released at the same time as the ROM as well, however, I will be talking to xBoxMod about a few things before making that decision.
Will You Release The Phone Canvas Port Outside of The ROM?
Again, yes. I understand that the Topaz/Rhoduim Phone Canvas ports have been long awaited! They will be posted at the exact same time as the ROM, and YES, there are versions for both CDMA & GSM.
Are there any known/major issues with this ROM or any of the Ports?
There are no MAJOR issues of any kind that we know of with the ROM, or any of the other ports we have worked on. Manila is literally the only feature that has any known issues as of right now, and that is only one minor problem (Listed in First post). Other than that, the Phone Canvas, and every other feature of the ROM has worked flawless. We have tested this ROM on 3 seperate Alltel Diamonds, for the past three days not, and the bugs listed in the first post are all we have found. Not one crash, not one freeze. In other words, this ROM is ready for everyday, heavy use.
Will you Be Relasing Cab Files of the Update Manila & Phone Canvas?
Yes. Hopefully, we will have cab files for both the Updated Manila version & the phone canvas, ready to be posted at the same time as the ROM thanks to I3v5y from xda for agreeing to help out with this.
Will Manilla Work On Other ROM's?
Yes. We have run this updated manila version on the Shipped Alltel ROM for an hour or so to test it out, and had no problems other than a bit of lag. We recommend a newer build, at least 20931 or up, however, you shouldn't have any trouble running this on stock rom's or any other custom ROM's. Not that we know of as of now anyway.
Will The Topaz/Rhodium Phone Canvas Work on Other ROM's & GSM/CDMA Devices?
We were able to install the Phone Canvas on a Shipped Alltel ROM, and had no trouble at all, and you shouldn't have any problems with installing it on any other custom ROM's either. We will post details on how to install this once the cab file has been posted. AS FAR AS GSM VERSION GOES, we have tested it to the best of our capabilities. We are almost 100% sure that everything is perfect on it as well, however, I will make no gaurantees until its tested on a GSM Device. But Like I said, I'm sure it's perfect.
If this is the Actual Topaz Phoen Canvas Port, Where is the Toggle Switch in The Lower Left Hand Corner?
I've been asked this 8 times already... Let me explain..... The BlackRain ROM as of now is for CDMA Devices, and that is what the screenshots in the post above are from. Some minor changes were made to the PhoneCanvas to make it fully functional on CDMA Devices, such as replacing the toggle switch with a spearkerphone feature. THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS OF THIS PHONE CANVAS PORT!!! CDMA & GSM. This change was only made on CDMA versions. The Toggle Button is still there on the GSM Port, as it will function on GSM Devices. Hopefully, or at least we plan on releasing a couple of different versions for the CDMA PhoneCanvas, with different features in its place such as a mute button, link to activate in call recording, etc. But for now, it will simply activate the speakerphone.
This is impossible!!! Your images show 200 MB in one of the Screen Shots! Diamond DO NOT have that!!!
CDMA DIAMONDS DO!!!

It started out as the V1D version, yes. But it has literally been completely stripped down, and redone. There are literally no known issues with manila, after three days of testingon CDMA Diamonds.

I'm sure. And yes we will be sharing the build with the forum. If all goes well, and everyone likes what they see, we will try to get it added to PPCkitchen as well.
We are also working on a side project, Excalibur ROM's. There not as special as this one, but there still pretty nice. There basicly standard 6.5 builds, with manila, w/o manila, lite, packed.
This is amazing stuff. Mind if I ask how you guys are able to work on these roms through your company?

So this will be a CDMA ROM?
Does that mean the ported topaz dialer is also only working with CDMA?
Ahem, from which phone is the screen? I mean, Diamonds DON'T have 200M of memory...
