The best ROM for s620 - explain it :) - HTC Excalibur

So many versions of cooked ROMs comes every week. Kavana and Ricky works hard, but every time there are people who want more and more.
I make this topic to help Kavana and Ricky to find what is best for community and put it in next version if they wont to. I will be happy if they post here some posts about possibility of this and that and their point of view about best ROM.
This is my Best ROM:
-WM 6.1
-Most apps from Kavana-s ROM
-10-15-20 color schemes with diferent colour and wallpapers.
-SEF security - cool free utility. With this your best frend or wife will recieve sms-s when your phone is stollen and SIM card is changed - I think this is very useful
-Weather watcher or some good alternative to see the weather fast
-Some RSS reader with possibility to download all data with one click. This is good because you can download every news with Wi-Fi or PC connection and then you be able to read all staff offline.
-Opera Mini 4 (and make it default browser)
-Settings for disable voice tags
-Good startup manager. With this you can control startup applications.
-Some diferent alarm - with one so simple function RING ONCE!
-Some chat Client with ICQ, MSN, Jabber, etc support
-Last version of oldSAP Favorites with already configured some cool staff like Opera, Weather Watcher, RSS, ICQ, etc - its easy to remove it but hard to add it you know
-Some registry optimization tweaks
-Add Bulgaria in Connection Setup - I will provide all information
-Some advaned calculator
This is the best ROM for me... tell us what is your best rom

Without a doubt, you are the 6.1 ROM KING, CROWN Of ALL TIME, even your sticks men, the PudgeDaddy, also the Micky1022 will say the same thing! Your are the 6.1 ROM KING....! Ricky, please don't add no slimfast to your ROM!(lol)

lol. yea no slimfast...but if you can...work on a 96DPI secondary version....im dyin to see that resolution fully operational.

I second AbsoluteDesignz last request.
Also, i´d like to see Wifi Profiles as a bundled app in the rooms, i find it very usefull.
And, of course, RICK´s ROMs rule!
Cheers.

The Excalibur 83DPI Only

96DPI is not for the Exacalibur, for a pocketPC, YES, 83DPI only for the Excalibur, no arguments, go for what you know, stick!

yeah i use 6.1 ricky's rom..i tried V6 but went back to v5
v5 rules for me!

Ricky ROM is ok, but all the credits go to Mr. Kavana.
Witouth his ROM, there aren't any ROM from Ricky I think.

Here in the attachmen is Sef install - try it.
For technology - this is not a discussion about who is the best rom of current ones - this is what you wont in the feature. If you don't wont anything and you think last Ricky rom is perfect - don't post here, because you make offtopic.

ATTN: Technology
You've made your opinion abundantly clear. But PLEASE don't post unless it's going to be something useful or contribute to the conversation. It's just flat out annoying...
...That said, one of the things I'd like to see is a builtin backup program (I know there's 3rd party programs out there, but pretty much assume that everyone who's flashing ROM's a lot tends to back up their data...)
Another is the easy-to-use ability to change the contents in CHome. It could be I'm missing something that's already there, but there hasn't been an immediately obvious way to do this that's easy to use.
Great work guys, keep it up!

Backup system is important. good point

I'd like to see the Messenger app working through the tmobile proxy...
Maybe some more comm manager skins? Touch style?
How about a web cam app to either stream or upload pics to ftp?
Or something I've always wanted, the ability to control media player on my pc through bluetooth. My Logitech BT keyboard can do it...
How about full screen Google maps?
A better photo app would be nice.
Oh i have a good one, a way to make the phone auto-answer like the nokia bug phones without the display coming on....
anyway thats my wish list and i'm sticking to it! Until then I'm very happy with ricks' awesome 6.1 roms. v5 seems to be the sweet spot on my Excalibur.

Storage Card....lol
Sorry

I think the Kavana release is best.
I prefer extra things NOT added.
I prefer stripped down ROM with basics (e.g. MS office). I can install my own things that I like.
The brightpoint ROM, for example, has Yahoo. this is a big pain when Yahoo release updates.
Basic functionality i want is:
1. UK keyboard
2. MS office
3. Registry editor
4. Don't mind a nice freeware explorer (total commander, resco, etc.)
5. Task manager not really needed in 6.1
6. Java
7. Flash lite
thats it.
I always install the following, but i would not want them in the basic rom:
a. MSNBC
b. Yahoo to go
c. Windows Live
d. Freememory
rgds

hah Resco is not free
I can't live without celetask .
There are so many features...
I don't now about SEF and Storage Card. I always install it on main memory - 400KB I think.

I don't think we should have resco on the ROM.
I know that having WM 6.1 is dubious, from a licensing point of view, but at least we did pay for WM5 and most have a legal right to WM6 upgrade.
we should not have other software installed where there is a clear legal issue. MS may well ignore a few hackers using 6.1 unauthorised, but smaller companies that live on micro-profits may not.
just my 2 cents

[RELEASE v 0.10] WMXL - Windows Mobile "XDA Live" Edition

The First Edition of
Windows Mobile "XDA Live"
for HTC Hermes​
I have applied my XDA Live Scripts to the "Vanilla" edition of Windows Mobile 6 for Hermes.
So I present you with Version 0.10 of XDA Live!
Quick FAQ:
Q: How do I install it.
A: The self extracting archive will runthe RUU after it extracts all files. I used The XDA RUU which was modified to push the Des Bootloader to your device. This installer does not require your device to be SuperCID and should work with any Bootloader version.
Q: Will WMXL (Windows Mobile XDA Live) fix my corrupted radio bootloader or otherwise bricked Hermes?
A: If the other tools here can't do it then don't bet the farm on WMXL doing it. The Flashing tools are still the same, no magic pill here.
Q: Kyphur you are such a Guru, how can I be like you?
A: Remember that my head is in the clouds on this one only because I'm standing on the shoulders' of giants. This project owes it's very existence to many other contributers here and they deserve as much if not more of the cudos than I do. The is a team effort, please support everyone who made this possible. (See my post here). I have been a member her for only 15 months give or take but I have spent more time reading than doing or posting.
Q: If you embed a program into the Rom how can I remove it (to save memory).
A: You can't remove file that are in the Rom. You can remove the Shortcuts to the programs. Again I will repeat that programs in the Rom do not consume any memory. If you don't want the program simply ignore it and it will not harm you.
Q: Will you still release the scripts?
A: Of course, I have spent this evening building and testing this Rom for Release. Expect this to delay the release of the How-To but it is still coming.
Q: I have more questions...
A: Read this thread.
Click here for Images of all the Themes I have collected. I've decided that instead of embedding them all, I will remove all but the default Crossbow Theme and add the Aero Theme.
The rest of the collection will be made avaliable via my website this week.
I have integrated the following Applications:
Dictionary Editor
HTweakC v2.1
MS Hearts for PPC
PHM Registry Editor
SMS Backup
StartClean
VJCandelaLite (Flashlight)
Windows Mobile Remote Display (CERDISP)
Fixes Specific to using "Vanilla" Base Rom
Office Mobile Folder and shortcuts are restored
Remote Desktop Mobile has been embedded
I have integrated the following Registry Fixes:
By default only the Date Plugin is enabled (and it is set to a single line).
The Today Screen says "XDA Live" and the about screen shows " - XDA" after the OS Build Number.
Pressing & Holding the Comm Button toggles the between Vibrate & Normal.
PDAViet Memory Leak Fix is Applied.
Disabled the warning for Unsigned Applications (Application Lock)
Misc:
I have added two "Classic RingTones, (OldPhone-US.wma and OldPhone-UK.wav) for those of us who want to get away from the music and chirping Ringers.
I have removed all carrier customizations, no need to soft reset to avoid customization!
This Version is missing:
Voice Call.
Push To Talk.
Smart Dialer.
Microsoft Live! Mobile.
Windows Mobile Update
BTW, this truly is a group effort.
Without pof & team unlocking I never would have even gone looking for the base Rom.
aChef by aklok_hk is doing the heavy lifting.
Sleuth, ShogunMark, Faria ViJay555, Bepe, Maimach have all been instrumental either directly or indirectly in this project.
Des and the SSPL was another step that got me to this point.
Olipro's RUU Workshop was used to make the installer package.
Of course there are all of the guys who have been doing this before I bought my first PPC Phone, they blazed the trail I simply walk behind them.
Finally, I can't forget my unnamed source. They took a big change passing this along to me. Even though this relase is built on the Vanilla Rom, without that trust I wouldn't have been able to spend that previous week cooking with a WM6 Rom Image.
Oh Yeah, here is the download link: WM XDA Live v0.10​
Praise be to Kyphur!!!
To kyphur
Hi kyphur,
Congratulations for the release and Thank you very much.
Good job.
Taguapire.
well done kyphur well done...
Praise you sir, job well done!
awsome work kyphur! quick question though, will you still be working on your original version of XDA-Live, and if yes, will it include the things that this one is missing (LIVE integration, PTT, etc)?
downloading... thanks for all your hard work
All hail to the guru and his team...
Just installing as we speak. I'll report back on stability useage etc as time goes on - and look forward to updates, fixes, advice etc.
Many thanks Kyphur
WEEEEEE!!!!!!
I love me some kyphur! Your work is much appreciated, and I mean that very sincerly. Get some rest and thanks for everything!!
I will continue development using "Van" as my base so I can release fixes and updates to you.
If I get a better version that I can share (even the original one or an update of it) I will be able to apply my scripts to it so everyone can now join in the development phase of this Rom.

ok crap i just upgraded to the other guy's vanilla wm6 release
guess i'll flash this one on now lol
good work, just wondering if you fixed the keyboard issue (the symbols seem to be misaligned in a random order)
Quick question ... if I flash this ROM and for some reason need/want to go back to the new Cingular ROM (e.g., if I can't get Goodlink to run on this yet) should I have any problem just re-flashing the new Cingular ROM over this XDA ROM?
Welcome in the HALL of Fame...
Thanks to ALL the active people who made this happen.
Nice

Check the wiki, 8525s and other Hermes have a different keyboard setting.
You shouldn't have any problem reverting to another Rom.

{Open to Suggestions} How Lite do you want it?

I will be doing one/two more lite roms based on supa dupa lite but will be opened to suggestions.
So far I have been asked to removed acrosoft mms and make it available as cab which will give us total storage rom app 80mb.
So please put forward your suggestions and I will try to make it as suitable for everyone and at the same time as lite for who wants it and if that is ok I could do a full rom
Here are mine suggestions:
Remove Pocket RAR, X-Button, Network Wizard, SMS backup, bring back WM6 default dialer .
I actually need MMS in there, ArcSoft MMS 4.2 seems better then 4.0 and 4.1 so you might considare getting it in
About HTCustom errors, I am quite sure it is caused by kaiser comm manager, try it and see for yourself
Thats it from me..
i hope you can remove everything and provide cabs for everything. and ths cabs should work. and i hate to search for cabs, you should post all "known to work with your rom" in your rom thread.
and thx for your hard work,
regards chief

I might do two lite roms one similar to supa dupa and one just bare back which hopefully I should get about 85 mb storage free and supplied cabs but Rom would be hopefully available by this weekend as I have been tied at work just coming from holiday.
thanks for your appreciation to my roms everyone.

For me the lite versions should be totaly free of software - those from microsoft and those in CABs like htc home.
They could be in extrom that the user could decide if to install them
More storage! More free ram!

that is exactly what i am looking for "a totaly clean rom"
now that we can find cabs for almost any oem or third party progs it would be great to have a rom in which you could decide what exactly you want to install and you can always uninstall easily.
hopefully you get time this weekend. this is a great idea.
I would take out all help files, remove all advanced BT features(like a2dp, SAP).
remove the STK(sim tool kit - it runs on boot every time!!)
wow

and thats me just taking 5 mins to do a quick rom, i will review the threads for what the people want and do two roms a bare back rom with almost nothing but still functional with all the necessities that is toch dial,comm, start clean. other rom will be identical to supa dupa but remove some small bits
Hi,
The lite version should be held in the Kaiser Style.
- 3G Kaiser Dialer
- 3G Kaiser Comm Manager
- Windows Media Player with Kaiser Skin
Everything else can do away
- Pocket RAR
- SMS Backup
- x - Button
- Network Wizard
Who needs the individual components can it install as it wants.
A completely small system, on which everyone needs installed which it.
MfG
S64
I have a question. Is there any way to get rid of Windows Media Player ? I hate it, i don't use it it's useless..
I was wondering alswo is there any way to remove pictures and video? I'm using resco picture viewer so the alternate program takes more storage.
That's only suggestion
switch dialer to 2G please.. and keep BT stuff.. why the hell would u want to remove BT stuff? i still wanna use my ear peice!
I am after a totally clean clean rom with the basics only and all the rest as CABs.
Is there a list somewhere which tells one what all those cryptic files/folders are in the ROM, thinking of removing stuff myself..
Cheers!
Third post nailed it!

I'm quoting the third post ... and there isnt anything else needed to be said ... Chiefcooker nailed it! Especially that last line, "Thanks for your hard work"!
Were I good enough to make a super lite rom, here are some guidelines I might employ:
TAKE OUT PROGRAMS THAT ARE:
1) upgraded regularly (X-button, WMP, Arcsoft, etc.)
or
2) that have superior replacements (file explorer, PIE, contacts, etc.)
AND
3) that don't affect the stability of the ROM
LEAVE ANYTHING THAT:
1) can't be found and reinstalled quickly from a .cab file (maybe A2DP... not too sure of examples here)
2) affects the stability of the ROM
REPLACE NECESSITIES w/ LATEST AND GREATEST:
For things that can't be left out: dialer, comm manager, and etc. Go with the latest and flashiest versions of these rather than saving a couple hundred K.
I figured it would be just a matter of time before someone made a minimal ROM with all apps/features as cabs. That would eliminate having to cook ROMs for different tastes. It would be more time efficient for ROM cookers to focus on carrier/driver/OS functionality.
Leave 'Clear Storage', 'Error Reporting' , 'ClearType Tuning' 'Internet Sharing' all the standard themes, pictures and smilies out. No templates for Word etc.
Basically I agree with everyone else, leave only the needed programs and delete anything that can be found in CAB form for others to instal. 'Video Dialing' could be left in. I like the Kaiser style comm manager
AFAIK..
1.) When you try to take out the Windows Media Player, it starts creating problems, so it can`t be taken out of the ROM..
2.) ArcSoft MMS doesn`t work when you install it as a cab, it needs to be integrated into the ROM for some reason..

calling for compatibility test

I'm working getting a build together, but am a little out of touch with what's the latest and most popular cab's going around.
If you can, please post or PM me samples of what you'd like a new rom to work with. Idealy they'd be dialpads, comm managers, today screen, etc. I'll do what I can to be sure they work with the base build.
It's currently at 82.74 Storage and 30.18 Program, with just camera 4.0 installed. Testing battery usage and stability...

And a welcome return to the kitchen sir
The file manager dutty (the old dutty) released a while back which is based on GSFinder+ is a great file explorer to use, JJ released the black ROMs for a while with it.
Gimme a sec i'll get the files zipped up.......done
I ALWAYS use it, support for zips and just runs RINGS around the stock file explorer.
Current chefs I like
Are CRCinAU and Abusalza (PDACorner)
I haven't seen any compressed or big storage ROMs that work well with activesync with exchange 2k7.
In my opinion HTC Home is a must as it has the launcher, the weather, the profile settings.
Some people don't like it because of it takes up so much realestate, but I beg to differ because of the features above.
I also would like setaccousticparam.exe to run upon install of a ROM it helps a lot with sound, PDACorner V19 and most of the DVH roms are good like this.
Split MMS, with arcsoft MMS 4.2.81 is also wanted. and of course the 1% battery DLL would be good too.
What I like is storage, stability, and looks, which I am unable to find them combined together! Oh I also like video calling and am a heavy data user.
CRCinAU is coming out with something real special, might worth talking to him. But again, his hasn't got the looks I want, I like nice icons, some sounds while clicking and colours on the task bar, come on it's a 2 year old gadget, let's spice it up a bit! What MS CE OS build are you working with?
As for files, PDACorner has a bunch of cabs that works with most builds these days including CRC's
Further thoughts on naked light roms:
I don't understand why people look for such ROM, as far as I can see your SD Lists are as long as a trip to Bombay! Might as well get them cooked in, the necessities as they are what we all use. I am happy at least with PDACorner with the different things well cooked in, speed and not compromising stability. I am only putting the heads up on the returning chef. Let's face it I am lazy, and who isn't sorting out SD config list compatibilities etc. I like nice icons I like colours on my task bar, I don't like S2U2 at times it conflicts with BT voice commander commands as far as microsoft goes.
Further thoughts again, you guys should stick to one chef, and get them to make things the way you like it and reward the damn chef accordingly. I see people jumping from chef to chef, and yet I see some chefs only make so little from what is considered as a full time job.
These are only my 2c

I like iContact, but PocketCM is ok too.
I generally install UltimateLaunch myself (via Sashimi auto-install), so I prefer a Rom that doesn't waste space with anything else. With that I use TodayAgenda, and other 3rd party apps for weather, etc.
Don't like Big Storage. Also staying away from compressed ROMs.
Do like big Program Mem.
Lately I've mostly played with ROMs from CRCinAu and PDACorner.
Stability and Speed are the most important. Since I'm not a data user, I tend towards the "Lite" ROMs, since I figure most stuff I can install myself (tho I get the impression some things run faster if cooked in? Haven't unravelled that mystery yet).
For Comm Mgr I am not too picky.. however its nice to have a ROM where either a) the CommMgr has a vibrate button or b) push-and-hold on the Comm button toggles that (yes I can install after, so not a big deal)
For dialer, the bigger the buttons, the better, and easy access to call-history and contacts list (recently there has appeared an infinitely un-useful IMO
screen when you "hide keypad" before making any call.. seems to be more a function of the ROM than the dialer tho...)
Looks are nice.. function is better.
Any task manager is welcome.
matt isn't this for a naked ROM for the kitchen that you use to do where we can install cook our own apps in? If so then theres no need to have HTC home or any other crap loaded as you can cook it yourself.
ANYWAY matt I'm glad to see you back and can't wait to try out the kitchen with new ROM..
here are some cabs..all of these work with the latest 6.1 ROM's
Don't forget Call Firewall. Personally I use Total Commander instead of File Manager, but that's personal taste. I'm not a fan of the S2(fill in the blank), and definitely not a fan of any menus with large fonts.
Would also like to have a theme where the top/bottom bars are glossy black, and just a plain black background (not the diamond background)
Thanks for the feedback and especially the files!
After I'm sure it's good and stable, I'll open the "pandora's box" and get a new kitchen setup for the masses.
Most of my old OEM Packages are outdated, so there's lots of work to do to get new ones built from around the site.
realty clean clean latest build AKU 1.3.3 (no MMS, NETCF,office, HTC Home) compressed with big storage will be very welcome
the minimum files in windows folder the better

Agreed..
I think some people think your actually like making a full ROM or something which is not the case. For those who don't know he makes a very clean naked ROM and releases with the kitchen and OEM packages so you can COOK your own apps in and make it the way you want.
So it might save some time and not ask for a bunch of apps cooked in..Provide some cabs and maybe there will be an OEM version of it.

Well here go my 2 cents
¤ NETCF35 [Definetly...!]
¤ Samsung Time [Instead of that awfull thing that takes out half of your screen space...]
¤ Network Wizard [The automated one. Dunno the release...]
¤ MS Office 6.1 [Latest version with OneNote and OneNote correction]
¤ PIM Backup V.2.8
¤ Schap's Advanced Config V.2.1.0.0 [That's a must]
¤ Call Calendar [A VERY usefull tool/add-on]
¤ MagiCall or Call Firewall
¤ TCPMP Media Player V.0.81 RC1
¤ Regedit Merlin
¤ Personalizer 2.0 [To change the displayed carrier name]
Please find below the Rapidshare link pointing to a RAR file conaining all the above mentioned applications.
¤ Kevlar-Source to XDA Developers ¤
Hope my opinion serves some purpose
Cheers.

Yes it does. I've using it for a week now and works perfectly.
people here says right things, but few corrections. htc home, snaps tools, and .net3.5 difenetly must be included. as for me no need to include ms office and mms. maybe you need to include dutty task manager, and sort of comm manager which allow to use 10- buttion stile. and personal reqest from me - cab whith dialpad, I'm from ukraine - so english dialpads not for me. and if you provide cab I will translate it by myself.
you doing great things - wish you inspiration, and if you need some photoshop work with rom - my icq in profile, will help whith pleasure.

[PRJ] Request a ROM!

Similar to what kareem9nba did for the Raphael, Hermes and Kaiser (and I did for prophet users) I'm opening up a service to let you request ROMs with the apps/tweaks you want, without the crap you don't want!
The ROMs will (for now) be based on the 2.03 shipped ROM, but I may start using a newer XIP/SYS when I get a decent, stable one - yes, that means no WM6.5 custom ROMs yet, sorry but I don't have the time to port everything yet!
What I can do:
Programs/Games:
Thousands of these. - I'll add paid apps, but you have to supply the registration details, or add them during the first run.
Version:
You want a clean ROM? say so, and I'll strip the rubbish. Want the sample images left in? again, say so and I'll leave them.
Other:
Whatever else you'd like. Can be tweaks, changes to the OS or whatever. I can also include your chosen radio OS, or splashscreen if wanted.
Preferred Upload Host:
I'll upload it wherever you want, and drop you a PM when it's done.
I'll probably have the apps you want already. If not, I may need a cab file to add what you want.
I'm going to do this for free, but donations are welcome (there's a link in my signature)

I can base it on the latest AZTOR ROM if wanted.
EDIT:
Opera 15316 is the latest build I can find, that okay?

Lol, you didn't steal it. The more we could expand on it, the better I just recently got a Universal so i'm thinking of opening it there (cooking is quite different there so still have to get used to it :S).

I think cooking for the universal is similar to cooking for the Prophet, so I might be able to help out with that.

This may take a bit of time as duttys ROMs are rather well protected.
I should be able to get everything going though.
I'll PM you when I get nearer to finishing it so I can get your Smart Protect settings.

That shouldn't be too difficult, bar the fact the the sprint Diamond is CDMA, so I won't be able to test it directly to make sure it all works. I can probably test all the parts on my GSM Diamond, but I may need to get you to test things once or twice.

Cdma Diamond Rom
Can I get a rom based on the latest leaked sprint rom wwe 2.00.651.1 and give the latest but best radio with the whole diamond2 tf3d tricked and tweaked out on low memory can I get that?
As stable and fast as you can get it
not so much a rom, but mainly just a cab to install the '3' tab into the tf3d from the pro (or whatever one they are using) if it's possible?
What about another of your own great roms but put all cabs for apps you usually include into a folder so that we may install what we like. Do the same for tf3d, tweaks etc. I mean in a folder within the ROM itself.
Cheers

HTC HD - BlackStone, my "Tweaked" Final Version.

Hello EveryOne!
I'm here since some weeks now, to look, try and improve everything. This, in order to build a final version of my HTC Blackstone in perfect accordance with my demands.
I mean:
Look, Speed, DailyUse, No Freeze, No Bugs, whatever the program I use. And I won, got the perfect one!
Please see here under:
A) Look:
Screens are in attachment...
Well it is sober, but that's what I like. My Htc BlackStone looks what it is: a BlackStone.
Sometimes, when I see what people ask here to developpers, I laugh and think: "Oh Gosh! Why don't they ask for a washmachine in their cell-phone too?".
B) Rom WM 6.1 Manila 2.1, and Radio:
The ROM is - HTC_Touch_HD_MR_2009_RUU_BlackStone_HTC_FRA_1.56.406.1
and the Radio - Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24
Why these ROM and Radio? Because they are the official of HTC, much easier for me to customize than some beautiful cooked I found and tried here, as Miri's, Dutty's, KWbr's or Panoshka's.
I tried other official versions, and I honestly don't see a meaningful difference, except that some added programs couldn't work properly.
I think the most simple it is, the best it works... So, even if mixing WN 6.1 with Sense 2.5, or WM 6.5 with Manila 2.1 works, the result seem to me too complicate. As well, making deep changes increase risk of instability, bugs, especially by adding other third party programs.
In fact, if you are developper yourself, you know what you do, then you can fix problems. But if you're not, then it's better to stay on one's level, without pretention or arrogance, and just try to customize with simple things...
C) Added programs, (IN THIS ORDER, laughing!):
01-BS_Rilphone_1_13_25_24.cab
02-NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab
03-Tnyynt SD TuneUP.cab
04-IPC_Black_Calculator.cab
05-Black Dialer EN.cab
06-Whiteglow Transparant Clock.cab
07-Glass icons.cab
08-Dutty's NoTopCurtain.cab
09-Diamond_TF3D_Config_Setup.cab
10-HD Tweak 0.5.4_French.cab
11-Celogeek_tweak_20080808.cab
12-mUn background4allpages.cab
13-HushSMS-v0.6beta.CAB
14-ACR Version 1.2.4.CAB
15-Express News 1.0.39.cab
16-DeluxeMoon.cab
17-BattLog0.2.3.130.zip
18-CorePlayer v1.3.6 Build-7427 for PPC.cab
All those programs can be found on the site, except for item 15-Express News and 18-Core player, I found on the websites using "search".
D) My comments:
Well, today, a cellphone can be use for quite everything: as GPS, Radar detector, remote control or...phonecalls!
Mine is fast, stable, safe, and does what I want efficiently:
Phonecalls, contacts, texts, mails, news, websurf, meteo, pictures, movies, music, FM Radio, and the Moon for fun...
I don't need more, and with this config, it is a rocket as fast as the new phones i tried: Iphone4, HTC Desire or Samsung Galaxy S.
I was about to buy a new one of these, to be "up to date", but I don't see the utility anymore!
A good config on a Blackstone is a MUST.
Best regards,
BobbyTrash
Ps: To perfect this look, I was looking for a ".cab" to make Topbar and Bottombar transparent, I didn't found it here. Some cooked ROM do it, perhaps a developper can provide such a cab...
In an other way, a short program allowing to rename and link easely unused tabs, would be useful too, whatever the ROM or kitchen...
mate you haven't cooked a Rom, your just tweeking
Yes, absolutely..
I just did it for people who search for simple customisation, more than for a cook...
I thought it was clear in my post, though! Thanks for your answer.
Bobby
probably should be moved to the themes and apps section
You're right...
How to do that?
Regards,
Bobby
Only mods can move threads
MOD EDIT - Thread moved to Themes & Apps section..........and renamed
