Wing Linux version 0.4.1 stable has been released to our project page at:
http://wing-linux.sf.net
Wing Linux is a project devoted to Linux and Android on OMAP850-based devices. Currently, our project has support for the following devices:
HTC Artemis (preliminary)
HTC Elf / Elfin
HTC Excalibur
HTC Gene
HTC Herald
HTC Opal
HTC Pharos
HTC Prophet
HTC Wizard
HTC Star Trek (new!)
Other devices may work too -- Give it a try!
We have Android 1.5r4 (Cupcake) and Angstrom 2009/stable (November 2009 pull) running on these devices, with keyboard / buttons, backlights, bluetooth, GSM/GPRS working in various states on all devices. The best supported devices are the Wizard and the Herald, but others work well too. See detailed device status at:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/wing-linux/wiki/Devices
New features from 0.3 and 0.4 include:
Enhancements for new APNs and calling support
New board support for many devices
Video rotation on keyboard slide for devices that support it
Fixed SD card mounting in Android
Added new fake battery driver so no more /sys_dev cludge is needed to boot Android
Lots of miscellaneous bug fixes
Fully working bluetooth support in Android (not all devices working)
New friendlier installation using progress bars and dialog boxes
Real-time clock support
Angstrom and Android systems are now merged together, allowing access to the full Angstrom system from Android, including super user
LCD and Keyboard/Button backlight controls from Android fully working (Herald/Wizard tested, others may work)
No more use of swap files! We use compressed main memory now!
AndExplorer file manager application now distributed as part of the Android image
If you've used our previous development version, 0.4pre3 or 0.4pre4, we've added the AndExplorer file manager, upgraded the Angstrom and Android images, and added HTC Star Trek support for 0.4.1.
Enjoy!

You can indeed make and receive calls on it -- though sound is still an issue. The other person will be able to hear you, but you won't be able to hear them.
Most of our work this time around was on getting more APNs put in for wider support of GPRS. We're targeting our 0.5 release towards getting working sound.
- d
awesome! Any updates on wifi?
Too bad sound isn't working, since you really need that to be able to use this on daily basis.
BTW are there any release notes somewhere?

Wifi support is targeted for 0.5 when we can move to a newer kernel. As for the release notes, there's a ChangeLog up in the files section (though it's a bit out of date, I've been trying to figure out a way to do release notes that takes into account all the projects we merge together and all the collective changes...). You can also look at the tickets for 0.4 on the wiki -- that covers most of it.

thanks. BTW Is there any specific feedback needed that I can help you with?

Nothing specific -- just what works and what doesn't. The more info we get about what works on each device, the better, as it tells us what direction to go in next.
- d
allright. I will test and report here the results. Last question: how do I update? Do I need to uninstall the old version or does the new install overwrite the old?

The cab files will upgrade previous installations when you install them (replacing the kernel, initramfs, and rootfs.tar.gz), but there's no way right now to upgrade the root filesystem image non-destructively. For that, you'll need to delete /Storage Card/linux/rootfs.img (make sure you have filename extensions showing -- there's a rootfs.img.status that should not be deleted). After that, just start Wing Linux like usual and it'll go through the installer again.
If you've made significant changes to your old installation, I'd recommend backing up anything important first, as this will completely reset the installation.

Hey guys, i have a T-Mobile Wing and this actually runs pretty good. I can go online and use the browser, what got me wondering is why is there no marketplace included with this? Just curious, i see you guys are making an amazing progress =]]

The Market app is a proprietary app of Google. As such, we're not permitted to distribute it. Which is unfortunate, but we gotta play by the rules.
Glad to hear it's working well for you.
- d
you can however install apps by simply adding them to your storage card and open them from there...
I've tested version 4.1 today
What worked
- contacts
- import contacts from sim
- browser
- installing apps (I've tried Tetris- only the screen size seems wrong)
- sending sms
- receiving sms
- make call (no sound)
- end call
- receive call (but I have no idea how to answer it...)
- AndExplorer
- music (without sound ;-), just the browsing part)
- changing the homescreen (adding shortcuts, change background)
Not working
- power suspend (top bottom on elf)
- camera (is starting up with blocked pattern and then goes back to start screen
- camcorder
- sound
- WIFI
- bluetooth (hangs on 'turning on...')
- calendar
- gallery (it loads, the screen turns black and it returns to start screen)
- alarm (it loads, shows alarms and clock but your not able to change or set an alarm)
That's what I've tested. Maybe more things are working or not working.
Nice! Great work darkstar62!
Haven't had a chance to check this project's status lately. Perhaps I can get bluetooth working on the Opal with the newer Angstorm.
I have two midterms tomorrow, and another two the next day so this'll obviously have to wait.
By the way, the detailed devices status link in the first post is broken.

Im pretty impressed with the progress of this project. I cant wait for the sound and smaller niggles to be sorted out then my trusty old wizard can becomes more than usefull again. The most recent windows mobile 6.5 releases are just way too bloated and sluggish on older phones. Great work guys
0.4.2 bugfix released
After receiving feedback from HTC Star Trek users, we have released a 0.4.2 bugfix release. This should correct booting issues found by star trek users in the 0.4.1 release.
Additionally, we've added the ability to reboot your phone from Android. Simply hold down End and select Power Off. Your device will then reboot.
Enjoy.

Yeah i figured it uses the end key as the power key.

Sadly, no. The Jade uses a Qualcomm MSM processor which is not supported by our project.
You might take a look at the Vogue Linux project, they deal with qualcomm processors and have made really good progress.

Since I recognized LE versions have much better performance, I decided to grow my own stripped ROM, based on the new official Dopod WWE ROM.
The purpose of this ROM is NOT to have an out-of-the-box-everything-inside ROM for daily use. It's been stripped to gain maximum performance. Everything one needs additionally, one has to install manually.
It's name is Elise and here are
Elise's Core Features
What will you get?
Ultra Slim Mod of the last official Dopod Release (Build 17944.0.3.1).
Free Storage: 65.5 Mb
Free RAM (on cold boot) : 30 Mb
It's fast: \windows-directory read-time < 1s (after cold boot, not cached or tweaked! for even more performance use JJ's Pimp my Black Tool). Just before someone is wondering again: Yes, this is indeed a kind of system performance measurement.
What it does NOT have:
Office
ClearVue PDF Reader
User Feedback (and related SQM stuff)
Autoupdate
"Clear Storage"-Tool from Control Panel
MS Live Stuff
!!! >>> MMS Support <<< !!! (Does anyone use MMS?)
Games
Java
Streaming Media Player
VOIP
Transcriber
BT-HID Drivers, BT-USB Drivers, USB-HID Drivers (Note: USB and bluetooth is still working, of course, just those WM6-generally included subdrivers are removed)
Help (After a couple of testing hours it seems to be no issue.)
What's else DIFFERENT from the official ROM:
Standard Dialer is replaced by Marshall's Orange Dialer (Black Skin files will be uploaded soon and could also be extracted from Marshalls cabs). It's located in its own subdir.
Standard Patches like Bypassed Welcome, No Batt/ConnMgr-Icons in TaskTray, No Certifcates-Warning
HTC TaskManager 1.5 instead of 1.0
Own Theme
What does ist have ADDITIONALLY:
Nothing
Known Issues [Elise.12]:
Surfing through IE is not possible. URLs are not recognized as valid.
There are hidden ringtones, that can't be chosen in ControlPanel. Will be deleted on next release, to gain another 250kB of storage.
Revision-History
.12:
FIXED: Button 5 is linked to an non existing shortcut. (Mapped to fileExplorer)
FIXED: Notes Icon still there but app not working. (Removed)
FIXED: Incoming Call Ringtones can't be changed. DialPad beep can't be changed/disabled.
IMPRVD: Another 0.6Mb Storage
--> Download Elise.12 <--
Screenies:
thx! good work
Blah you should have at least left streaming media in there.. lol
it's the naked lunch ROM... for the best cook in tha house...
* Office
* MMS Support
* Streaming Media
* BT HID Drivers
* BT USB Drivers
* USB HID Drivers
can u remain these stuff??
That should be tasty
I'll try it tomorrow - looks very good.
nice work though not sure office should be removed since most hermes users have this phone as a mini laptop. I'm sure its fast! you won't have any issues with leaving the help app in although I recommend removing it completely
This ROM is screaming fast. Was getting worried that WM6 was always going to be sluggish on my 8525.

Is this the new ROM performance benchmark? I keep seeing it mentioned as though it is, therefore I must ask: How often does one actually do this in the course of normal usage?
how can one reinstall MMS support for this rom? any cabs?

They don't care because no "normal" person ever does it. They should do the "hidden for your protection" trick a-la Windows XP, etc.

1. Yes that's absolutely right. And that's the reason I removed nearly everything I could. And you will notice that this also will affect the overall OS performance. (There are some threads in the forum discussing this.)
2. Well, I think that you guys are smart enough to install the apps you really need on your own. Make sure that you don't spam the windows folder again.
3. No, I'm not going to release any cabs of the things I kicked. Sorry, really got no time for that . Office, Streaming Media and such stuff could be found in the forum. If you need the drivers and MMS, you need another ROM.
Wrong file on rapidshare!!!
Warning, unfortunatelly I upped a wrong file after the .11-Update. I therefore removed the download link. I'm currently fixing this issue. Just in case your ROM didn't work as expected.
The correct files have been upped again and are ready for download. See 1st post.

Wow, "if you need drivers and MMS, you need another ROM". Well I guess that statement practically sums it for mostly everyone. This thread may end up being very quiet.
Good luck with this ROM.

1. I know a lot of people not using MMS, when they got SMS and eMail.
2. I don't know just one single person, that needs those drivers I removed.
3. I'm sorry, but really didn't want to make you cry. This ROM is just an offer, there are enough other approaches that would work for you.
4. I don't know why people are complaining. This thread is titled ULTRA-LIGHT MOD. What the f*ck do you expect?
Screen shots look nice, although i use lots of the things you have removed, so i guess i need a different rom, any chance of you uploading your .tsk?

being part of the tester team, I feel we should collect findings in here, rather than in the "old version 4.0"-thread!
so here we go:
- no problems on my hero (german mdaciii, without wifi)
- no touchflo integrated ( or am I blind?)-- SOLVED
many thanx

Hey thormdac my friend..!
[email protected] only Joked.Hope u understand.I update support Touch Flo cube not button.
If u don't understand see this video :

Cheers...!
and again [email protected] only Joked.U and [email protected] also very good man for me.
I found only two little things:
1- the clock on the top bar is not sinchronized with the htc home clock (when this switch, the first switch about 10 seconds after)
2- every time I make a call the receiver volume is always set at min. also if I set to max.
Anyway, they are not important and Tom is great.
Weehaa... looks great...
I´m really curious about it.

More Findings
1. Touchflo works well without the hardware button...when you finally find it
2. No obvious signs of the auto vibrate sound profile issue, either when adding an appointment or when an appointment come around. Haven't tested the auto profile yet though - just enjoying not having to turn my system sound back on every five minutes
3. The camera seems to work quickly and properly - nothing new or sexy to it, but working is sexy enough for me
4. The touchflo cube config module is better and slicker
5. It feels more stable and a bit faster - highly subjective, I know
6. I thought I had a few issues with ActiveSync at first - dropping connections, USb device not recognised -but that seems to have settled down
7. I haven't yet found anything I could describe as a bug but I'm still looking
Tom's done a very good job here - good work fella! He copped a little unfair flak around 4.0, as did the testers. This is not a commercial release - it's what you want to make of it. If you don't like it, or it doesn't work it's no-one's fault, just your tough luck. That's the risk you embrace when you move off of the OEM ROM. If it doesn't work don't donate - it IS optional - and use a different ROM.
This will do nicely for me in the meantime.
I don't make it for "Donate"
For all : I don't make it for "Donate"
Remember i make it for us.And make it because i like this work...
Have people donated to me and said.He already donated and tell me need share link for him.
I don't want share link because this only beta version.Still have bugs.I need test and Fix it before release v4.1.My Rom always free for all people like my Rom.Donate to me if u like my work, don't donate and tell i need make.. ect ect..
Please understand me...!

just a suggestion
Hi tom... everything goes well and works ok except that phonepad input problem.. bythe way i have a suggestion to the cube enabling process.. as far as i know in the actual HTC touch the cube is enebled when your slide the finger from top to bottom.. I think you have reversed it .. in this rom and the previous one exit is by this method.. If you can modify this setting easily can u update in the final version... If u cant also no problem as this rom is great.. Keep up the good work....
cheers and good luck to your studies...

But it is the only issue i could find
Hello everyone. I've been working on this project today and I'd like to share my work. This is the mini version of NRG ChomeWeather 3.1... MiniWeather 1.0.
It's only got ONE layout and that's a 5 day layout as seen in the screenshots below. It's portrait device compatible so feel to install on Tornado's and such. This version also hopefully corrects the problem people have been experiencing with the phone locking up while the keyboard was locked and the weather app was updated.
This version also has a solid autoupdate routine that hasn't failed me once in the last 3 days.
All in all, I believe this is a rock solid version and I've tried to anticipate any bugs that may occur. Think of this as a light version of NRG Weather 3.1, as it's only 2 megs in size.
However, I will stop development of the old 3.1 version and just improve this. I hope you like this... and please report any issues. Thank you.
A few words for the newbs... After you install and reboot, please set your location code in the Options. Then update.
In order for the detailed forecast panels to show updated information, the phone HAS to be rebooted. There's no way around this... YET. I'm currently
working on moving from the CTestUIPanel to another panel, but not ready to do so... yet.
Features:
- Autoupdate according to Yahoo servers' time + 10 minutes + 1-5 random minutes (so we don't all hit the server at the same exact times)
- Update in 15 minutes when no connection is found.
- First forecast day info comes from Yahoo... the rest from weather.com
- Verbose status information as the script is running.
- Minimal set of icons to save space.
- Detailed Forecast panels can be turned off in "Advanced Options"
- Application will not automatically refresh the screen while the phone's keypad is locked.
- Built-in leftover notifications removal tool, in case you want to uninstall. See "advanced options".
October 18th - 1.2 Release
- Twice as fast current forecast download.
- Only one layout supported.
- Revised layout and removed the monitor, for now.
- Blue / black backgrounds behind the temp and hi low indicators, actually follow the official sunrise/sunset of the location selected.
It updates in 15 seconds or less now...
etc...

This is a preliminary release of MiniWeather 1.3 with support for the new 20279 core which has a different Chome platform. This version is NO different than 1.2 and it ONLY works on the "Rose" based ROMs, including my own Excalibur version.

I think there's room for all of us here, and that's cool the way you made blue/black deal to reflect time. Great idea!
Looking goooood!
Great job Org (sorry, NRG). Works great. Really simple to use (as it should be) and awesome looks. The only thing I found is that for some reason it doesn't show low values on cTestUI. It's been happening since a couple of versions ago on my device (although I've uninstalled before installing this new one). Here's a SS of what I'm talking about. I think maybe it's some residual reg values or misplaced pics.
Anyway, it's a great app. Thanks for all the hard work
Hi NRG/Org.....
As usual your work is wonderful, this version works like a charm and seems that my phone has about 1 Mb more of memory free, thanks for your amazing work, waiting for your new version without the testui panel......

Well I figured out what the problem was. The script wasn't equipped to handle single digit temperatures Now it is and the second post was updated with a new cab. You can just use the attached "patch" cab if you've already installed the application. That way you don't have to reinstall everything. Thanks for the heads up on this.

I made them a .cab file for their app already. Only thing i couldnt seem to do ( and i don't know why) was integrate mortscript into the .cab. I followed your .cab structure for mortscript.exe and it never worked. Hopefully showaco will post my .cab shortly and if you want to you can take a look at see if you can integrate mortscript into somehow.
It's easy really. Mortscript only needs two references in the classes section of the registry to tell windows how to open "mscr" files and of course the mortscript.exe file... copied somewhere on the device. I chose \windows for my cab files

see thats weird. i tried that and it didnt seem to work. i added the mortsript reg entries in the HKCR section and everytime in stalled the app and tried to run his weather options.mscr file it said that cannot find file or one of its components.... once i installed the .cab withouth mortscript and installed the mortscript.cab file posted on his thread it worked fine.... weird.
Simply.....Amazing.
anyway to let it auto-disconnect the GPRS after update?
I could make it an option...
what is the 21XX number of the normal clock png icon? i don't have it anymore after doing a series of uninstalls and reinstalls etc.
Hey DUDE!
I am seconding what Showaco said. I really like the way this looks. I am glad you started using the clock panel too. Maybe we can collaborate on some ideas in the future. I sent you a pm last night, so if you didn't check it yet, check it. I hope all is well in Orgville and have a great day, bud.

I am working my way back and looking forward to give you guys a new WM6.1 kitchen and will look at the WM6.5 one and see if I can add any value with my version of one of those too... for those who are having trouble I will try and catch up in the next week or so if it is something urgent feel free to PM me.
Again my sincere apologies and hope that everyone understand that I didn't mean to mislead just circumstances have kept me from delivering...

Sprint.....
Now THAT is VERY strange... as it is specially optimized for sprint... I must have screwed something up when I adapted the kitchen for popular use rather than just my personal use... I have done some more cleanup/tweaks and updated to build 20931 and will put that up tonight... and will test it throughly to ensure it all works
Just to help my testing can you let me know what selections you made when building? and if you did any modifications to any folders as well...
Thanks!
Im using sprint as well. i wasnt able to install cabs and active sync wasnt connecting. i only unchecked the pim backup utility.

Same as him......
Hello,
I also was unable to install anything after flashing. Anything that I tried to install would give me an installation unsuccessful error.
Active sync was spotty, it would just drop connection and then reconnect.
I am on Sprint as well.
Regards,
Jus'

Must be some of my reg tweaks... I will ensure proper defaults are in-place for when they are not selected
Device Info
How did you fix the Device Info issue? I have been trying to figure that out for a while now.
I have Sprint as well ran into not being able to connect to Data.
Hey m3jorge, I'm really liking this Rom you put out. Totally dig the modded m2d theme you put on with the white underlay on black icons, but I can't change the top/bottom bars to matching diamond(black/grey) in Appearance under Settings, also get the can't install cab error, and no active sync errors others are also experiencing. Other than those 2 issues, everything works and looks nice. Good job and Thanks.
btw... I did all the selections and minimal selections trying to identify the reason why folder won't let let cabs install, but no luck.
Vogue/Sprint
Ok I think I've found the root of the issue about the cabs not installing... quick question though for those having the issue...
Did Customizations run? or try to run? and did you let customizations complete... thanks...

if so, what was the cause?

I believe I have what i did is I took the VIRSER_ATCMD.dll (along with the other VIRSER dlls) and fuart.exe from the Alltel 3.10... I found that if the two versions don't match all kind of things with active sync become unhappy

ok that is the weirdest thing... Customizations installs like 3 cabs... but cabs don't work after that? or are we talking about carrier cabs don;t work???
carrier(sprint) or any cabs won't install, because I verified no internet access via testing youtube app and get no videos to load up. gonna reflash and skip customizations to see if that is a factor in cabs not installing.

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

*Audio Booster (Tachi)

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?
