@MG! A New Elf Rom! [email protected]! Now with CRACKBERRY ADDICT SUPPORT! Elf 2.1! "The New Black"
Welcome to Elf v2.1!
Elf Is "The New Black"
Below you will also find the CRACKBERRY version of this rom. Please, seek professional help if you are addicted to CrackBerry, but, as a public service, I have included it. TIPS ARE HIGHLY WELCOME!
The damn CrackBerry hack took an INSANE amount of time.. The actual hex edit is easy; it's figuring out what to edit! argh.. Seriously nuts. BIG thanks to Shadowmite for his help in figuring this out. Also, a thanks to JJ for his complete lack of moral support as I tested it
Highlights:
Cooked into the rom:
1) BIG STORAGE! (48.8MB available after all ExtRom programs installed)
2) Shadowmite's TweakUI 1.4
3) dotFred's PimBackup
4) TaskMgr
5) ATI Patch
6) Office 2007
7) OneNote patch
Cooked into the ExtRom:
1) Windows Live Search (My personal killer-app)
2) Windows Live Messenger (the NEWEST Live Available!)
3) Device Lock
4) WM Transcriber
5) SIP Config Tool - VoIP configuration
All extrom customizations are REMOVABLE via. the Remove Programs App in Settings.

Anyways... What are you waiting for?? Why aren't you downloading? Oh, you need a download link? Well.. Instead of having a great big red DOWNLOAD HERE link, I'm going to have some fun
Download here (Rapidshare)
High Speed Mirror (thanks Chamelion!)
Download **FIXED** CRACKBERRY rom here (Rapidshare)
Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it..
Notes:
- X-Button has serious issues. I am not including it in this release. I recommend SBSH.net iLauncher as a proper replacement. It is inexpensive, and just amazingly awesome. It's the task manager of choice for most people who really know what they're doing.
- I need an icon for SIP Config Tool; I'm a god-awful artist. So, if anyone wants to contribute back an icon, please do and I'll release an updated cab for it.
- Splashscreens are professional; I do have some other more fun ones that ToddJG did; I'll post them later for seperate download.
- In my tests, with the standard battery, and full time push-email, I was getting an insane battery life with this ROM! Longer than I had seen before. So, I'd be interested to hear other's opinions on this issue...
- General idea of what got cooked vs. added via. Extrom. Basically, I wanted a core OS that allowed one to operate the device but leave most of the other stuff in ExtRom to be installed on HR customization. So, things like TaskMgr and PIMBackup (both VERY small programs, but, also HIGHLY useful) are cooked. Live, Live Search and other stuff that I like, but you might not, are in ExtRom and marked as 'removeable'. You will be able to reclaim the space lost on the Live installation, etc..

It's based on LVSW. It *highly* stable. So, if you prefer newer and unstable check out that Rockin' rom or Faria. But, if you prefer ROM's that don't need Ritalin, mine's the best around (IMNSHO).

A new High Speed mirror compliments of Chamelion has been posted in post #1.

I have to agree here I will give TheElf a spin around the block too. Will report, if anything....

Excellent, I will try later this week; I've just gotten Sleuth LSVW rom up and running.
Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the good work, Elf. Just had the original Elf edition setup 2 days ago and has not had a soft reset.
Trying this 2.1 out tonight.

WebCamera Plus from Ateksoft not working
Thanks Elf for the great ROM. I finally took the plunge to flash the ROM fo the first time. So far everything has been working fine except for the WebCamera Plus. Apparently after flash the ROM, it somehow returns a new device ID to the software hence the activation of the software fails.
So the problem would be similar to those from TOM TOM users.
I suppose I have to call Ateksoft to issue me with another activation code.
Apart from that it is a great ROM.
Thanks

I wish I knew why it does that silliness. Although, this whole activating based on some strange device ID is just silly too.. Pirates just bypass it. Legitimate people who buy the software are screwed out of the program...

There have been HUNDREDS of downloads of both roms, and only a VERY SMALL handful of posts.. I guess this ROM is the secret Diamond around here

WebCamera Plus from Ateksoft not working
Thanks for the reply, Elf.
BTW, donation on his way.

Great ROM elf, awesome in fact.
I just have a small problem with the refresh though. When I change the settings on the today screen like take away a button for instance, it does not refresh it until I do a soft reset. weird.

WoW!
With all the different roms ive tried this is the best so far!
well done, cant wait to see more!

We're like the diamond in the rough... The new black... You know, once you go with an Elf, you nevah go backlf (well, something like that).
CUS' i'm TELling you that I'm way better than some of these other ROMS
I'm just joking of course. I have great respect for all the cooks on here.. JJ is a great guy if you ever get to know him, Custel is, well, uh, uhm, anyways... Sleuth is a nice guy (smart too), and LVSW, well, he's just plain cool--I only wish he spoke English better because he rocks and I'd LOVE to pick his brain on a few things..
Anyways, I'm missing tons of cooks, so, don't take offense.. PLEASE! I'm just trying to be funny.. But seriously... In the words of that annoying idiot on TV that hocks his "Video Professor" software--"Try my product!" lol

I just put this on my TyTN today. I'll be testing it for the next week or so. So far, everything seems ok. It's definitely less snappy than Black 3.0, which is what I had on before for about 3 weeks -- 3 weeks without a single reboot. I'm hoping this ROM can show the same kind of stability.
Black wouldn't recognize my microSD after removing it - I had to soft-reset to recognize a re-inserted card. That is fixed in this ROM.
One minor bug so far - when setting an alarm with the built-in alarm function, AM/PM reads "P 1" and "A 1", rather than AM/PM. Not a big deal.

Go to HTCustom, change the TIME to Normal, NOT AM/PM.. It is a WM6 bug.

About memory... compared to the others your ROM is relatively low on Program memory (in my case about 24-25 Mb after install).
But you tell in your ROM we can remove the extra programs we don't need. Will this also increase the program memory (as I understand in WM6 memory allocation between storage en program memory is dynamically)?

just tried it, actually still trying it for a couple of hours. first glance, seems faster than anything before. but as with all black roms, most probably it is not that stabil. for me, dutty's rom was most stabil so far, and farias rom was the one i liked the most. and ive tried most of them, if not all of them.
no going to schaps, heard nice things about his rom.
later,
io

wow, just got used to black shadow. here it goes again, getting ready to the majik over weekend.

looks very nice
I use Custel and I don't think I'll switch but I wanted to say I liked the specs and look of your rom its very nice.

Its based on the 17913.0.3.0 imgfs graft which is a highly reliable collaboration from many chefs. m$ may not beat this from a reliability/performance aspect until they release AKU 1.0

damn right! also this ROM has the newest OEM packages (from roms already leaked) packaged in a modular fashion (ie, OEMapps is split into seperate packages), so you can decompile, remove and recompile to your own liking.
the only reason this work was done in regards to the black project is due to the somewhat broken BT stack and intermitted power consumption issues in the RTM 17745 build. Lets see how this black holds up.

Let me ask my questions again:
I currently run Black...
What version number is this ROM?
Since I am waiting for TouchFlow, should I skip this rom and wait for your next release?
Again, Thanks for all your hard work though - I am sure that it's very much appreciated
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the version is MAJIK.
thanks,

i have to eat my words - i've installed majik under strong temptation.
so far my comment - this is fast, more swift compared to black shadow.
well done jj!!

Blackberry donsn't works :'(

Go on guys, make my day, continue amusing me wasting bandwidth. And don't be so amazed when even a cool Ausie looses his manners.
The big question remains open. Would I finally find my way out from the frequent SODs.. None ROM has yet made it for some (me included) and I tried personally all hacks, tricks, wisdom, you name it.
JJ no matter what, thumbs up !

The Israeli Team

When calling someone and when I get connected the phone vibrate....like it with Redial 1.02 app...how can I disable this JJ?
Regards,
Primoz
p.s. Thanks for the release...already installed and trying it out

SDHC support is listed under the "changelog" but Black Shadow supports SDHC cards (I am using a 4gb microSDHC with it right now).
that being said, I will probably upgrade to Majik tonight after work

Hi, just installed this ROM and now playing around...
I started Media Player and played a 5 minute song. At that point my program memory dropped from 29 Mb to 10 Mb, THAT'S 19 Mb!!!
Is this normal? (could be, never noticed it with other ROMs)

Seems quick so far and I like the boot screen and the audio manager plugin, very nice. Oh, also the touchflo or as some like to call buttonflo works after simply running alpha and sr .

This version isn't patched for BBConnect. Keep watching tho.... somebody might patch one. I know how you Crackberry addicts are...

I've deleted several off-topic posts here btw. See page one for why. Let's keep this thread on topic plz.

Can someone please post Vijay555 Tools I downloaded the add-on pack but it did not include Vijay555 Tools.
Can someone also post that black theme with the 2 blue lines that were in Black 3.0 I think.
Thanks!

dangit! im just resisting the urge.. it has come to the point that im trying to deliberately make my current ROM (BS4) crash on me and force me to HR. then i can update. but just to think of the re-installing again.... anyways, i think itll be worth the time..
will be off to canada this weekend.. will make sure i bring the laptop and my 8525 disk! ;P

|6.5|DIAM||ROM||WWE|| ** EnergyROM Series 1.0 21232 ** || Build 52009 ||

Welcome to my ROM thread!
This ROM is the "3.0 series" of my ROM line, and it's designed to have the latest and greatest applications and improvements. Because of this it may not always be as stable or bugfree, as a stock ROM. However, I can assure you, it's much... MUCH faster than any stock ROM on your device.
The ROM is being continuously developed and bug fixed and there's almost daily releases. I've decided to name each release by the date when it was released. For example, 50109 would have been released on May 1st, 2009. I should also mention it's UC compatible and more info about that can be found here.
The ROM is currently based on the 21232 OS core, with all the new goodies from the newly announced Topaz device (the Diamond2).

Known bugs
The lock screen interferes with the HTC Dialer application. It's best not to use it for now. If you have to, you will have to deal with weird behaviour from the dialer!
If you want to use the microsoft dialer instead, open up Advanced Config under Tweaks (in the Start Menu) and disable the phone skin (first item in the Phone section). Reboot...
The names appear to overlap in the dialer when scrolling down in it. This is a known bug in all 6.5 ROMs and there's nothing we can do about it until HTC updates their dialer ​

Thanx, i will give it a try, already downloading.
Great fast rom, i can choose only one keyboard, full qwerty keyboard doesn't work.

seems very promising, bud... gotta try the ferrari out on the diamond

..is video call available in the rom?

Hi, I've just installed this ROM. Really beautiful! Extremely quick but not much memory left, my device has only around 20 odd meg program memory. Still it is very quick like I said and all the programs installed seem to work OK. I cant seem to launch the phone pad or the qwerty though? I disabled the phone skin in advance config but still no joy. Is there any way to do this? The menus look the business! Thank you for the ROM, I would like to use it but I really need the keyboards to be working. I will leave it installed for tonight so if anyone wants to know anything about this ROM please ask while I got it on and I will be able to answer.

damn , scary how good this rom.
i tried almost all 6.5 roms and this is the fastest and best looking.
and youre 1st rom for diamond is even beter as most 6.5 roms that are updated lots.
i dont have much experience in rom cooking etc.
but isnt it a good idea to remove apps that doesnt work on diamond 1.
like flashlight?
and 1 more question.
is it possible to let photos store on internal storage/pictures instead of is/my doc/??
tried advanced conf but doesnt work??

It seems that it's impossible to use another keyboard than the Microsoft's one even with sipchange (Tried eZinput 2.0 and FingerKeyboard2)

THIS IS THE KIND OF FEEDBACK I NEED TO MAKE THIS ROM GREAT

I have to work a little more to get the memory usage down more. I dont think I need a Diamond specific dialer, but I will cook that into the next release to see if it fixes it. It will have video call as well. No qwerty keyboard ? Strange.. I will look into that.

CycloneSkins--Putting a 'Twist' into Your HomeScreens [H-Beta 1] [Production Stalled]

CycloneSkins
*Putting a 'Twist' into Your HomeScreens*
**Proud to be the First 'Official' CPR-Based Horizontal Theme for the Dash**
CycloneSkins aims to give users a chance to have awesome, revolutionary skins for their phones, each day of the week.
There will be a total of 7 skins when complete (maybe more after those 7). As you can see, there are 3 Proof-of-Concept screen-shots below, illustrating 3 of the Horizontal themes.
All themes will be CPR based, and take no more than 5/6 MB of space, and no more RAM than normally required by a Titanium Layout.
While unfortunate to some, these skins will be optimized for the following conditions
Excalibur running Ookba's 3vo ROM Ver 2.5.080809
Excalibur running Ookba's 96DPI
[optionally] Excalibur overclocked to 240
After having a good release, I will make it a project to adapt these skins for other ROMs, aiming to make these skins universally compatible amongst all Excalibur units running 6.5.
Main Update:
WARNING: BACK UP THE FOLLOWING BEFORE INSTALLATION:
/Application Data/Home/Titaniumpanel_media_topbar.xml
/Windows/Titanium_320x240.cpr
(In the Registry) HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome
(In the Registry) HKLM/nls/overrides
/Windows/Startup/Checkstatus.mscr
ITS FINALLY HERE! HORIZON BETA 1 !
Yup yup, Its true! So here is the details on this. Well, for starters, it is the FIRST CPR BASED HORIZONTAL THEME in development on these parts of the forums, but it is still sorta far from done.
Thank you to Stylez for cab'ing up the files necessary.
Thank you to Mr.Nick for your amazing Glass Icons!
Space requirements: 160kb (install to device)
As far as the phone ROM and extras:
-This will ONLY work on Ookba's 3VO Rom (2.5 for Sure, you can try others)
-This will work best with 96 DPI installed
-This will work best (if not only) with the Topbar icons for the 3VO Rom
Installation:
Download the CAB file below
Transfer to phone, and install to Device
Do a soft reset to make sure everything is put into effect
THERE YOU GO! You are running Beta1 of the Horizon Theme.
For now, these features exist in the Horizon Theme:
Each panel is a full screen
CComm panel has indicators on right side of active/inactive features
It is quite easy to read due to large size
Other fun stuff that I am forgetting to mention
These features are currently not implemented, but I hope to add them soon:
Horizontal Effect (Including button swap)
Better icons/graphics where necessary
On the Notifications panel, something similar to the CComm panel
Other features as per popular demand...
[old] I have a "working" version of Horizon on my phone now, however I have decided not to release it since it is a humiliation in terms of appearance. I have still to fine tune, fix, and change around some stuff, as well as add in the extra icons and text, etc. Screenshots from my DASH are posted just below here in post 2. These fine tunings should take a day or two tops (assuming I have time to work on them) and hopefully I can have this theme cabbed up for V1.0!

*By the way, I'm looking for someone who has a Windows Mobile 6 (or higher) coding (and compiling) knowledge and environment!! PM or E-Mail me if interested. Its a simple task really...*

Looooks greatttt... Cant watit to use it

how about custom panels? willit wor with this theme?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have been researching how to make this theme work since probably July...I'll tell you I exhausted almost every method I could think of.
The way this theme works, is rustic...and that is all I want to say for now since I don't have a beta 'build' yet (it'll be soon though).
This theme has its limits for sure...and I can tell you for sure that the beta will only work FOR SURE on Ookba's 3VO 2.5.080809 ROM running the 96 DPI Mod, overclocked to 240 (although overclocking is optional it makes a smoother transition as will all homescreens). This is because this is the phone I am using, and the only ROM i have access to at the moment, since i don't want to go flashing everything all over again.
When i have the beta, I can't assure anyone that I will release it, there's a chance...but I would rather have this as a one-hit thing...avoid big issues, etc. I may be inclined to pull in private beta-testers...All this is still in the works....My main goal for now is to get a Beta working on my phone.
To stop dilly-dallying around the inital question, no...as of now custom panels WILL NOT work without some modifications. How about people post a couple of custom plugins (that aren't included in the screenshot) and I'll see what I can do...However, the INITIAL RELEASE will be what is in the screen-shot, and from there I will add in other panels (as popularity demands).
To sum up what I have basically said here:
1-The way these themes [will] work is very rustic, and that is all I want to say for now...
2-The first release, be it BETA or V1.0, will be fully compatible ONLY with Ookba's 3VO 2.5 ROM with the 96 DPI mod running
3-The first release, be it BETA Or V1.0, will NOT BE COMPATIBLE with custom panels without some serious modifications taking place.
4-While this may be a big downside to some, the theme will ONLY WORK with the panel set-up that i have demonstrated, and in that order...Like I said, this is a very rustic way that I am making this horizontal theme possible, and the only way to really get it totally personalized is with taking time to modify.
4-After i get a working release (as shown by the screenshots) I will work on my next theme , but will also try to put in the most popular custom panels...Adding the extra panels isn't too big a priority for me since I am using the basic panel's provided by Ookba's 3VO ROM (as shown by the screenshots)and those panels cover just about everything...Keep in mind...the first post has 3 proof-of-concepts for 3 different themes...but I have a total of 7 semi-unique themes i plan to release at some point in the not so far future...
5-I am still looking for someone with some knowledge and ability to make a simple program for Windows Mobile (for this phone and theme). If someone is interested, please PM me or Email me...
6-As far as beta testers go...I am not totally sure. I may be inclined to select a few private-beta testers, but I don't know how that is going to work. Basically, I want this to hit the community with a boom...with a working version, not a buggy disappointing version.
I hope that what I have clarified here doesn't deter people from wanting to use this theme...but hey..its the first horizontal theme for our phones that i have seen since i joined the community! Please be patient...more news will be coming soon enough...

Lol so when can we use themmm cant waitt lol looks good

In all honesty, until I can get hold of someone who would be willing to make a simple application for me, this theme cannot exist. Prior to posting this on the forum, i was unaware I would have to BUY Visual Studio to create applications for the unit...Without that program, i can make this work, but it would be a total disappointment and wouldn't work as I nor anyone else desires.
I really do know the method and everything, i just need someone who can put it into code and compile it for me....its like i said, a simple task!

It's an honour to see my work in such a great ROM, thanks for the thanks!!!
Great work as usual.

I am having problems with my data connection? It won't connect at all. Any suggestions? I am with Bell. Have the latest Radio. I also installed the CDMA weather fix as well.

Uninstall the weather fix,then install dcd_bell.cab http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/index.php?dir=Titan%2Fcarriers%2F
Run IE to make sure your data works now,then disable "windows default" and enable "touch flo",scroll to manila weather tab,set the city,run weather update,and after that you can install cdma_weather_fix

Thanks VIN,
I will try this when I get home. At work right now and will let you know how I made out.

Fantastic work again ... your stuff never feels like its Beta. Great Job!!!

Long live,VOGUE !!!

I am trying this ROM out, seems pretty nice...
Any idea how to install Windows Mobile Marketplace? I tried the "original" CAB found here, it installs but then hmmm it is nowhere to be found?

seems like there is no way to move them up,its 25 pixels of wasted space....

Hey Vin, Just wanted to add, that i am trying your ROM too and i am quite pleased so far with it, no obvious bugs or hang ups.
Well done
Im using the no-Manilla version, love this 23081, wow.
Thank you for all your hard work, hope to see your ROMs around as things progress.
Peace
WR
Edit, I think i replied to the wrong ROM thread, my bad.

hey VIN, just reflashed cause I screwed up my FAVE People in Titanium somehow. Decided to flash the manila/titanium new rom you just created. Flashed twice and hard reset once. Great job on incorporating RSS, Advanced Tools and the Snooze fix. Love it love it. You have a talent in the Kitchen! WM651 is awesome. New features are GROOVY. I am 42- I'm not too old to be fascinated with flashing am I? It is like a disease, a good ailment though!!

While I love this ROM, I have had multiple lock-ups where I had to soft reset the phone. I did install the Mega GSM dialer, I'll try to remove that and see if that helps?
Anyone else installed a different dialer?

I have installed the dialer from PDG (PAUL DEGROOT)with no issues noticed.
