Great & stylish new rom ? - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

Hi,
Greatball doesn't have an Artemis, but maybe Tom Condon or other Artemis rom-creators have seen the latest stylish today screens also.
Why not create a rom with Greatball's today screen, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402021
This is the most stylish skin (with SPBMobile 2.1) i have ever seen (last picture with analog clock).
Together with Greatball's Samurai Diamond Weather + Night
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402124
Would be the most fresh looking rom ever
In combination with latest msn, SPB-backup,PPCBackupcontacts,SDHC Cab installed,QuickGPS for 7days,... and good ram offcourse.
We just need to install our IGO8, and we have the best Artemis ever
For the moment we have to tweak & install all the little programs ourselves
Who create a "Greatball Diamond Samurai Styled Rom" & freshup our Artemis for a long time ?
Thanks,
Cheers!

These skins from Greatball are skins for SPB Mobile Shell.
And this is not freeware!! So you can't just cook this in your rom...
If you want to use his skin, you need to install SPB MS 2.1 and install his skin.

Yes I know, but we all want a great looking rom, when hard resetting, not much extra install work nescessary So good looking right out of the box.
The latest 'reasonable' good looking was the Oops Black.
But now we got used to the tabs completely down the screen instead in the middle of htc home... And we saw the stylish analogue clock...
Hopefully soon a new stylish rom will appear...
The Touch 4.02 was my best rom ever.
Cheers,

TouchFlo on the B&B v4.0 (in future), possible??

TouchFlo on the B&B v4.0 (in future), possible??
Option only please.
I installed the other Touchflo ROM to see what all the fuss is about...and I just don't get it. On B&B ROM 3.7 you have 5 screen shortcuts (home, people, weather, launcher, sound) which are just great. With (the current) Touchflo rom you need to press a key to launch touchflo and then swipe. It looks pretty and would be great in the pub..nothing else though IHMO.
Off-topic rant:
The other issue is that other than HTC apps which look really great, and easy to use you end up "leaving" the Touchflo interface for a crap MS screen which hasn't been redesigned for 5+ years (Pocket outlook).

Nope....no touch flo in 3.7....
It really is the only thing that needs adding to 3.7 to make it absolutely stonking!! Not bothered about the cube thing, waste of time if you ask me, but scrolling contacts, email, web etc with your finger really is useful.
Cube is nice for 5 mins - then it gets boring, I actually reverted to 3.7 after using the touch flo rom for a couple of days - but the problem with the "X" not working did my head in.....
Sorry for rambling....
I would agree - touchflo ist a funny application, but have lots of problems and bugs. I think, first of all we need devices, which are stable and performant.

Todayscreen Greatball Throttle SPB Mobile Shell 2.0-any new roms with this upcomming?

Hi,
I work with the Oops Black for the moment, but i feel that the last touch 4.02 still was the most stable.
1> Is there a new upcomming touch rom ?
2> I don't seem to find the iphone icons, not so nice for an overview...
I like the following todayscreens :
--------------------------------
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402124 - superb today screen!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402021 - icons too iphone like
And the "Throttle Launcher" seems also nice as a today screen.
Hope some new roms will arrive soon with one of the 3 above included
It's very quiet nowadays concerning new roms
If anyone has nicer today screens, please post for us
Or great SPB MobileShell 2.0 themes
Cheers,

I think maybe the best is to install a light stable WM6.1 rom without anything, and then install what you like (SPB Mobile Shell 2.0) with great today & weather screens.
Then install the programs you need... New roms are not always needed...
runs perfectly on last version of Vanilla
Are these todayscreens applicable for the P3300???
I tried to search trough the both threads, but I'm not able to find exactely an answer on this question:
Do I have to install the SPB?? what is that??
Thanks in advance!
Yes, just instal SPB Mobile Shell 2.0
You can find a lot of themes everywhere.
Just place all the files in the program files/Spb mobile skin directory (overwrite everything) and reboot.
Very simple for our P3300 having some very nice skins
Sweet! Thanks for the tip... Going to try
Hmmm, tried it... and like it (a lot..)
After some searching because the phone didn't went directly to the SPB menu today screen after boot-up or after unlocking and creating some linkt to the pocketCM contacts.. I have a little question: Does the calender tab also shows upcoming events? or do I have to press the organizer/calender and then "this week?"

An Xtream Comeback....

My god its been a while since i was here!!.... Been so busy my phone stopped having its Roms changed more than my underware and became simply my phone..... BUT now iv forgotten how to do this shiz and i feel so incredibly lost on here and my BIG problem and the reason why i came back
.......Apple iphone white is making me so excited i think a little bit of wee came out! it looks nice and its SO much faster then my Artemis BUT i love my Artemis but i want an iphone ARRRRRG!!!..... i know... Ill go on XdaDev and see if thoes clever F***ERS have been able to make it Run any faster. im using Artemis Touch 4.01 Full with cube and im also using Ultimate launch wich is making thigs quite laggy any ideas of how i can rekindle my love for my phone?
...more or less the same here: since changing to tomtom 7 my orig. htc rom is a bit sluggish!
i am back to the good old days with meschle: vanilla 4.01!!! changed radio to Artemis 2.98.90 gsm radio though, since all the new cooks dont seem to know about the downs of porting radio roms from other machines to the artemis!
its been a while back too, when we found the battery drain on most cooked roms resulting from any version above the mentioned radio! 2.98.90 is the last released for artemis- often other versions result in a constant polling for radio-signal, thus draining battery enormously--and spreading more radiation than needed.

Strange, don't need anything faster for my P3300, i use gsm,gps,wifi and no delays at all.
I have YuE_WM6.1_v4.4_LiteSE_WWE rom and installed a lot of extra's on the storage card.
TomTom is not so spectacular anymore (graphicwise), i use IGO8 (3D buildings) and rom fast enough (standard 201MHZ).
You can always tweak it up with batterystatus to 247mhz but what goes slow?
What do you do with your Artemis, video or graphic processing ???
Please note that faster processorsettings = faster battery drain.
In past i had Qtek 2020i & Eten G500 (both +-400 a 500mhz) but don't miss the speed...
Don't follow the hype, Artemis is best price/quality all in one at the moment.
At least we have a mini-sd extension slot and gps, that's a minimum
If you want an iphone for the 3D interface, install htc rom with 3D Cube & set to 247mhz.
The Iphone layout gets boring with the icon startup screen is not so 'funky' as the SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 with Diamondskin & Samuraiweather on our Artemis
You can install also an iphone skin, iphone s2u2, ... ringtone,... so that it looks the same softwarewise, but it's not so spectacular as you might expect...
Be individual, install your own rom, todayskin, programs and make a backup of your own perfect setup is the message !

Between YuE_WM6.1_v4.4_LiteSE_WWE and Vanilla 4.02, which one is better ?
No idea, i took Yue's cause it was a newer version, and if i'm not mistaken it had less pre-installed stuff. I want to start from scratch with the lightest rom and install SPB Mobile Shell, and all other tools I like, no unescessary stuff to save program memory & ram. I did install the latest RADIO for best battery/consumption settings...
In past i used the 4.02 from Meschle & tested the Oops black, but don't like the HTC Home plugin and the diamond-plugin... SPB Mobile Shell with diamond skin 2.1 is really the coolest
Yue's extraclean should be the lightest, but i didn't get it too work, cannot flash it through windows cause romsize lower than normal.
SDHC Card flashing is not possible (tried it with an SD also but no succes). But i'm satisfied with my current rom for a long time.

try the following in order to get sd card flashing to work:
run uspl!!!!
than:
quoted from ...."i dont remember"
"1) install WM5torage in your pda
2) start the program
3) deselect all voices in the panel (expecially Removable Class)
4) connect your pda with PC via USB
In this way windows read the SecureDigital as a fisical disk, so you can create, resize and delete partitions
5) in your PC right-click on Computer, then select Manage
6) Select Disk Manager and then delete existent partition
7) create a new partition with max size 256MB
8) format this partition in FAT32
Now your SD is ready to be used for flash!!!"
Thing that made me drop YuE_WM6.1_v4.4 is that friggin` russion stuff.
yeah, u can change dialer and pads, but it keeps contacts search in russian
apart from that, my original htc wm6.0 rom was definately not the choice for tomtom7 somehow it felt... sluggish!
both YuE_WM6.1_v4.4 and vanilla 4.01 ( my all-time classic from the good old days!!!) both do the job quite zippy--so i agree: stay with the artemis, forget about yuppie-style ipone!

oh I just known that vanilla 4.01 and 4.02 use the same OS built. I uploaded vanilla 4.01 in the collection topic. I hate diamond black skin black GUI on 4.02 but now I finished setup all my programs and lazy to go back 4.01
Specialist ROM cookers never make clean ROM. It's hard to upgrade builtin 3rd party softwares in the future. Not everyone install new ROM every month. We want to install one ROM and forgot it. Use it 2- 5 years without hardreset.
If I am ROM cooker, I will make clean ROM and the optional all-in-one.cab. An optional All-in-one.cab can install in one click later. These can be easy upgrade or uninstall in the future.

nice idea! just to let you know on that matter: all pdaviet roms are missing a vital part, this makes it impossible to re-cook them!

I need some friendly advice...

Hello,
I am looking for some friendly advice from the users of this forum. I am not new to flashing ROMS and have spent a little time in the kitchen myself, but it has been awhile and well I have some questions...
WM 6.5 vs 6.5.1:
Okay so as I understand it these are my options when it comes to OS. It looks like the two popular ROMS are using 6.5.1 and from what I have read it is better than 6.5. Thoughts?
Titanium vs. Manila:
More detail below, but can I install both of these plugins separately without them being baked in? Perhaps there is a good, solid WM 6.5.1 basic ROM and then I could add the today plugins as I see fit?What comes stock with WM 6.5/.1? Titanium or Manila? I really want a good solid up-to-date base ROM I can fiddle with a little. Suggestions?
Titanium:
I think this looks and feels slick, but for me to find it useful I need to apply the [APR 29][WM6.5] WM 7 Titanium Project - beta6.9 mod. This has its own issues with the weather and icons and in the thread it says don't use the CAB attached, but I have yet to find a more recent version if there is one. The biggest feature I like from this is the grouped notification panel. Having all my notifications in one spot make all the difference to me. Also being able to have the view set to the top of the screen is pretty damn nice.
Anyone know if I can add the nonfiction panel and lock the view at the top without this mod?
TouchFlo/Manila 2D and M2D 2.0:
If I cannot accomplish the above and if the mod continues to be flaky I will be back to the more traditional today plugin. I have to say I am not thrilled with the default Manila 2.0 (or whatever the newest version is), but it does appear that modifying the basic skin is fairly straight forward, is this correct? Is the new version my only choice or should I say moving forward. Are most new ROMS going to use the newest Manila?
So which ROM should I go with? Here is what I have tried:
NFSFAN's 6.5 21864 SYS/XIP V1.00 GENERIC CARRIER ROM
vin's - 11/07/09Wm 6.5.1 SYS 23504,23081 Titanium+Manila in 1 ROM. Looks like he posted an update yesterday, maybe I'll give it a go.
I have also looked at vin's WM 6.5,WM6.5.1 MANILA ROMs SYS 23081 & 23016 NO TITANIUM, but I have not tried it yet. And what is the difference between RED and BLUE?
Your comments & feedback are appreciated - thanks!
Titanium comes with OS from MS,Manila-from HTC.
6.5 officially released (not for vogue,though)
6.5.1-beta

Official WM6.5 ROM

I really need a help for obtaining an excellent WM6.5.x ROM + <<sense 2.5>>
I've searched all WM6.5.x ROMs on XDA but i don't know which of them can be better for 'HTC TOUCH DAIMOND'
In fact ,i want "WM6.5.X CLEAN ROM+SENSE 2.5 ,STABLE,FAST AND WITH SETTING ITEM IN START MENU "
IF IT IS OFFICIAL ,IT WILL BE BETTER CERTAINLY​
THEREFORE,Please Help Me For Finding best ROM ,tanX
simple, not exist
LOL
Don't waste your time with 6.5 it is always going to be slow
Now I can tell you what a good all rounder rom is an that is the MEMO one.
I would say this as I'm helping with it but IMHO it's a keeper.
MEMO Rom
Yes, i too say that 6.5 is not for Diamond. So why u try that?
With all the options the MEMO ROM is the best one (Try it and feel it)

I'm using the latest energy rom + cookie home tab, and is fast,stable and has good graphics..there is only one problem the free ram is a bit (18-20 mb)
energy rom
Sure, energy roms, especially the latest, are bright, fast, BUT NOT LIGHT due, perhaps in a certain way to the huge amount of apps included. Things that most people does not use. I prefer using wm 6.5.5 rahter than 6.1, but today there is no light rom WITH SENSE (2.1 OR 2.5) AND WM 6.5.5. You can find a good titanium rom wm 6.5.5 (ralpfudsion ralGT1J) with plenty of free ram and stable
Hi,
First you need to understand the limitation of your equipment and specially for the ram. On my side I have tried several rom and I have normally a preference for rom 6.5.x due to my HD2. So I found a good compromised between 6.1 and 6.5.x it is a 6.5 rom (build 21907) back to basic. There is enough ram left and I can customized as I want. The other solution as stated above is to use a titanium version of 6.5.x or 6.5. I also recomand Ormet rom the 8.32 one.
Hope it will help you
I would suggest you to try out the Gen Y WWE ROM. Its a 6.1 with Sense 2.1 ROM. Pretty stable. It has a share of its own issues, but you may wanna try it out yourself. Its got a very good integration of Sense into it with a Start Menu that the Topaz (Diamond 2) shipped with.
The link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521941
Here you go. Try it. Its got some good features. If you are starting out new, I suggest take small steps. Rather than taking a leap into 6.5 or 6.5.x give this one a try.
What's your idea ?
tanX of all for your nice suggestions nonetheless it's better that i use WM6.1 for HTC touch diamond instead of WM6.5.X
I INSTALLED DONSALARI ROM(WM6.5) ,IT WAS NOT BAD... , however it has some features that i want
roughly OK : WM6.5.X+SENSE 2.5

I personally had issues with that rom. Diamond does not truly perform too well with it. Had it for a few days then removed it. For instance my video stuttered horribly with it and my album never even began playing H.264 videos. I could only use WMP.
I personally think you should fall back on a tweaked 6.1 ROM with Sense 2.1 or Sense 2.5. Maybe you could search for Manila cab and install it.
try the Don Salari rom dude. i think it's the best official rom n' it's very light (clean basic). good luck!
you might want to try out Benko's 6.5.3 ROMs for Diamond.
Here's the link.
