Although my Artemis shows 60 % free program memory, this ROM is still painfully slow.

i've download now n will try...

Thanks for the rom!
Like user above, runs very slow on the main menu but once in file explorer etc it's just as fast.
Time to upgrade the phone??

3rd wm 6.5 rom p3300
I have tried all 3 version of this ROM,
nice look but very very slow on my artemis.
today TITANIUM good, Honeyconbs slooooow other apll quite fast,
IGO8 breeze, tt7 slow.
I hope that some1 can make this fast than today.

it was lag & makes my phone hang... this ROM requires more RAM...
anyway thanks uploader... something new...

tested it for 20 minutes.
TOO SLOW on Artemis.

downloaded and tested for a day or so now
the titanium is better than in previous versions, seems to run smoothly and integrates well at last...good to see the clock finally making a propper appearance in there
also the first chance to play with the new honeycomb interface.
unfortunately the jury is still out on this one.
my view is that it's more of a hinderance than anything else at the moment.
This totally replaces the start menu. Click on the start button and you're taken straight into the honeycomb interface. I wasn't expecting this behaviour from it...i thought it would be more of a today plugin replacement or something, and if it's going to behave like this on new roms it needs to be
a)quick
and
b) easy for you to find your programs or settings that you want.
Personally i dont think it does this yet.
You can click and hold to bring any app into the "favourites" part of the comb, which means you can now "pin" your favourite apps...mcuh like your last used apps used to automatically appear at the top of the start menu.
Unfortunately i think finding anything more than you favourite 5 or 10 progs would quickly become a real pain in the ass.
let me give a quick random example
on a "classic" style rom, let say you want to go to the "SMS SETTINGS" app....you'll go to start , settings, hit the communications tab at the bootom and choose SMS SETTINGS
on this i'll go to start, straight into the honeycomb. From experience i know that it's not in here (which is good becuase this is now a looong page to look in) so i choose the SETTINGS cell. now all i can see is 7 cells and remember there are no tabs here anymore so this is ALL of your settings. I've got About, backlight, bluetooth, buttons , certification, and clocks and alarms. Anything else i have to start randomly scrolling and searching so i start moving downwards. Eventually find it on the 12th cell on the left That's 12 'Down clicks'. If i wanted WLAN SETTINGS or something i would have to do a lot more scrolling. Everything is alphabetically sorted which helps, but it's a 3 colum system and so you still need to read ALL of the available options and you need to know EXACTLY what that app is called (is it TOMTOM or NAVIGATION? Is it under T or N ? etc...you get the gist)
I hope they are still experimenting with this interface becuase i think it looks good and COULD, if done right, be a really nice feature for the WM6.5 system...but it still needs some fundamental work before it works well. Remember how, from the concept art, we through it would be a 2d scrolling 'intellingent' list...it's not. It's stricly up and down alphabetical.
I can't quite put my finger on what it IS that's wrong with it...but there is SOMETHING...it just takes too lonk to find what you need at the moment. Maybe it's just unfamiliarity and it'll all become clear after a few days use, after all i've had 5 years of experience with the old system...the same as lots of people switch vista and XP's interface into win2k mode becuase they know where everything is. I always plead with those gus to stick with it and learn the newer systems becuase they usually DO make sense....but this time i cant see it yet
The new lock mechanism also needs some work. they've obviously tried to emulate a slide-to-unlock mechanism without making it TOO similar to the iphone....unfortunately this means that you get the small blue slider we've all seen on the screenshots at the top-center of the screen and sliding it 1cm or 2 to either the left or right unnlocks. I personally think this gives too much scope for accidental unlocking. I mentioned in another thread a while back about how a "shake to unlock" feature would be self defeating. the point of a lock is to make sure that when the phone wakes up becuase of incomming texts or whatever the phone doesnt totally wake up and end up accidentally resetting all of your calendar appointements or calling people while it's in your pocket....you need it to be HARD to unlock accidentally, but not hard to unlock intentionally. The balance is not quite right here either, same as the honeycomb.
it's still in beta and hopefully the whole thing just needs those last few "tweaks" to the functionality and ergonomics before it too "makes sense" but right now i'm more than willing to switch back to dhee's last manilla rom....it's just easier to use. I hope i'm right and that this rom is in BETA for both reliabiliy AND functionality reasons.
theres a lot of potential, but it isn't there yet.
these comments are ALL down to the mew 6.5 system, NOT dhee's rom, which seems to have done everything it can with what it's been given. Considering the clumsyness of the new interface etc this is as good as i could hope for a 6.5 beta rom to be, and i will install his next rom without ANY hesitation.
for anyone wanting to try the new features out, this is the rom to go for, but i wouldn't blame anyone for not keeping it for too long
thanks again dhee for a great rom, i just hope you get an improved system to pass on to us next. I'll probably leave this one for another day or so to see if it grows on me, jstu like i gave XP and vista's new interfaces a chance.

he's now updated it with an M2D version, link : http://pirun.ku.ac.th/~fscinrn/Download/Pawaj_65_M2D.7z
will flash and let you know, i'm not convinced there's enough room on this rom for M2D too but who knows, he usually pulls it off well
NOTE the download is ONLY an NBH file

rom 6.5 M2D NEW
I have flashed 3 times my artemis with this ROM but always, after reboot wake up one error and auto reboot, so, for me is not working
I hope that someone can fix it.

Same result ... And i flash once - device reboot, show me white screen, show error message and reboot again. Back to YuE WM 6.1 firmware. Waiting for stable release.

yeah, the M2D version didnt work for me....reverted back to his earlier 6.5 Beta 2 version with M2D becuase i dont think the honeycomb and titanium is quite ready yet

very very slow.. also the menu is not very much clear

This one is not from dheewatara, and was one of the first roms to include WM6.5.
So far DJ M2D WM6.5 5.0 UL is the quickest and smoothest.

i found DJ M2D WM6.5 5.0 UL to be the same speed as the 2nd rom with M2D from dheewatara, but dheewatara's rom has the newer camera version (with panorama mode) and a slightly newer rom version if i remember correctly. I'm sticking with that one for now

we beg pardon for my terrible English :-[ , I wanted hear there is version room without additional programs ( light ) plz give reference

Hi ppl,
All the links give error .... not found....
Can someone give me a positive link?

Hi any re-uploaded links?
Thanks

NOW DISCONTINUED. SEE POST ON PG7 FOR ALTERNATIVE
AC - Naked ROM
This ROM is designed for "professionals", that is, someone who needs functionality and raw performance over endless crap, gimmicks and slow animated uselessness.
Testing shows it to be extremely fast, uses 45% of memory day-in-day out.

5. use your device as GPS on the move (tested with Garmin, Microsoft Voice command over bluetooth)
6. do not use MMS, upload to facebook or youtube.
7. prefer original WM over HTC apps and feel where possible
8. hate Microsoft Media Player and use CorePlayer or Pocket Player Bundle
9. prefer Voice Command to read out your calls and text messages rather than fancy ringtones
10. don't like Titanium or Manilla that much ('cause it ain't included!)

Known Issues
prob: no longer asks for screen calibration on install.
fix: Do manually via Settings > Screen until I find a fix.
prob: after installed you'll get a white screen saying "please wait".
fix: Hit one of the top icons and it'll go away.
note: I'm looking for a fix without enabling HTC's RunCC.
prob: clicking the battery icon doesn't do anything (it should really invoke power).
fix: access manually via Settings until I fix.
prob: screen text is default (one size too large imho). Need to find the registry key to notch it down a level.
fix: do manually via "screen"for now.
prob: the background is a gif as I can't workout how to get the compiler to use a jpg for the Default_stwater.
fix: none
issue: slight colour banding because of it.
prob: empty Tools folder on Start-Menu.
fix: delete it from /Windows/Start-Menu/Programs
issue: can't find the location to kill it so you'll need to do manually.

AC - Professional ROM
This ROM is designed for professionals.
It is extremely fast and uses 41% of memory whereas most take 60-70%.

Don't you think it would be fair to mention that those "most" roms are using TF3D, and you are not?
There are many roms, in which you can have this "professionalism" in memory and speed if you switch off all interfaces and leave bare WM.
So, be fair, and change this line. Compare it ONLY to bare roms without manila. Then it may be not so super-special, but just another rom without manila....
But of course the "professionals" will see it. It's the "not professional" who may fall for this advert....
P.S. If I switch off manila, then I have 39% after boot-up (with lumos, and other software in background). Is that something special? Not, it's standard. At least with Nataly roms.....

Dude cut him some slack.. The guy is just contributing his work. It wouldn't hurt to make a general comparison of his rom with others regardless if it is with touchflo or not since he is not asking money for his rom. At least he did not name 'whose roms were those.' If he wants to call it a professional rom then so be it, nobody has monopoly over that word is it not? Let the user judge for himself if this rom is worth his while or worthy of such title.

Here's two reasons ...
1. there are no startup or scheduled services running so battery life is rather good. In standby last night with no activity and full charge the battery still shows as full (that's 8hrs standby!).
2. there is no Manilla OR Titanium. Which other ROM does that? There is no Windows Media Player. Which other ROM does that?
You'll have to try it out and see why.
Other poster >> I'll zip up the kitchen and post as soon as I get a moment. What are these two packages - if they really add value I'll include them for next release.

Look, I'm cutting slack, etc but... If you publish something, then it's up to public to judge it.
So, it's good there's another cook, only let's be fair. It used to be, that such roms were called inthe thread title [naked] or [no manila] or anything else, BUT it was clear.
reason 1 - hmm, to me it looks like the common fault of all diamonds - battery metering, especially at full charge isn't reliable. For me the way to check it is to measure the mAh drain of the battery. This is closer to being objective.
reason 2 - every rom which is provided with kitchen can do that (remove manila), and lately there are lots of those, so practically everybody can adjust the rom to their liking with or without manila or titanium.
Anyway - what I'm suggesting is a clear and consistent naming and comparison of the roms. Since pietrucci stopped doing benchmarks there are no reliable scores to compare speed, memory etc, so people look at descriptions. Therefore those descriptions should be as accurate (and fair) as possible especially when you are trying to compare one rom with the other.
Good luck with your project.

Well I agreed with what you were saying and made the changes you suggested. I've also changed the 41 to 45% memory as this is what it uses with constant usage over a couple days.

snoopy20, will you make a new b.23004 ROM with 2.09 drivers? And kitchen actually yet...

OK, so you've got a fast and stable rom... but a rom that doesn't do almost nothing...!
In that way, it's better buy a cell phone instead of a PPC/PDA...

Ignore the whingers...
..., their venal sniping and their inane comparisons with the work of others.
As the saying goes: "There are none so blind as those that will not see..."
I like that your ROM is geared towards using your phone as a tool, not a toy.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the future...

I agree, cut the chef some slack. I take "Professional" as in 'professional users only'. Naked roms do take some patience and skill to tailor to your needs. Some people want a rom that takes little effort others do want more control.

I''m agree with huisie. You make a good job and this ROM realy needed. First, I d't know any other naked wm6.5 ROM with fresh build within. Sec, I d't know any ROMs without WMP and so many deleted trash.
I think You wrong to call your ROm 'Professioal", but the name "Bussiness" are fit correctly: this ROM not for a play, it's for job.

Truely speaking... I am loving this ROM... Thanks a lot....

Excellent, the first happy customer.
I will update to 30004 soon and aim to wrap up the kitchen asap.
If anyone knows how to or where to ask in order to solve these little bugs please let me know or ask away on my behalf.
PS) I'm after stability and bug-free operation over compiling to the latest XIP release so I wont be doing daily updates. Most XIP updates seem to pertain to fixing OEM compatibility and Titanium issues anyway so it's not so much an issue with my ROM.
PS2) I think TaskManager is mandatory but when compiled into the ROM it doesn't run automatically, hence I provide as a separate package. The compiled voice command doesn't read out calls/messages either which is why that is as a package too (tested and working this way).

[KITCHENS+ROMS] [WWE] [10.27.2009] WM6.5 23081 - Sorry NOT FOR P3600i!

Alright, let’s get Started! This is the new WM6.5 23081. I added a new Startup Animation (by aestivalisakito) and Sound (by me), Modified the Start Menu, Added my Favorite Keyboard (On all but Super Ultra Lite), and ArcSoft MMS 5.2.2.37 (on all but SUL).
I will start with a Super Ultra Lite Version, and then see where that leads me. My plans, if I have time, would be a Super Ultra Lite, a Normal Chome/Titanium, an M2D, an M2Dv2, a MotoSurf, an SPBMS 3.5, and who knows what else. Each Different Version will be listed on Page 2 (Might Spill onto Page 3) with the Download Link for each. In each Download Link I will post the Self Extracting Kitchen, an RUU_Signed.nbh, and an AutoFlash file.
What is AutoFlash you ask? I've taken the RUU file, added the Flashing Program, and Packaged it all up into an AutoExecuting AutoFlashing Program, and, it's a smaller download than the RUU alone. Pretty cool huh? Yes, others have already done this, but I'm going to make it a standard practice from now on.
"AutoFlash (tm), Making Flashing Socially Acceptable, One Package at a Time!"
My recommendation for Flashing is:
Make sure you have Hard SPL on your Phone. I recommend Olipro 1.20 - Click Here for More Info
Be sure your battery is at least 50% full.
Start your phone in Tri Color Screen mode. Steps below
--Unplug your phone from USB
--Hold down the Power & Camera Buttons
--While still holding them down, press the Reset Button using the Stylus
--Release the Reset Button, but continue to hold the Power/Camera buttons until you see the Tri Color Screen
--Plug in the USB cable (if asked about installing a driver, do this), You should see USB in the White Box)
Now you can Flash.
Run the AutoFlash file for the ROM you've selected, or Flash using the Standard Flashing Program included in the Kitchen.
Enjoy!
Suggestions:
For those who wish NOT to have a Startup Sound (it can be annoying) use my attached Kill Startup Sound.cab I'm sure this is going to be downloaded a LOT. If requested enough, I'll remove the sound completely.
If you set the IE8 Browser to 'Mobile' instead of 'Auto', it's actually usable. 'Auto' will try to display Full Websites. If you have the time, it looks Beautiful, and it displays basic Flash, but it does take a LONG, LONG, LONG time. (Menu, Tools, Options, Other)
Thank you to EVERYONE on XDA. Chefs, Programmers, Cookers, Users, Noobs, everyone! You've ALL helped me to be able to do these. I'm sure I'll learn a LOT more as the days go by.
I wanted to give a Big thanks to the.decoy and Tomme45i.
This is part of Tomme45i's Kitchen, and I'm using the.decoy's SYS/XIP. He's done an awesome job of making them lite and fast!
Keep an eye out for the'decoy's ROMs coming in the future. He's remaking the Kitchen from Scratch so that it can cook Trinity and P3600i all in one Kitchen. He's also completely reworking the folder structure and a LOT of other hidden surprises. I know you will all be impressed, the guy is super smart and talented. Like many others on here, he's got a personal life, so it may not be completed immediately, so please be patient.
Of course, there's also Chanvi/Oggi, Ervious, and Many others, I can't remember them all.

Wow, this one is Lite! No Really, I mean it! You may need to tape a roll of quarters to it to keep it from floating away..
I know this will not be for everyone, but there are those out there who prefer to start lite and add what they want from cabs. Well, this is the one. This thing runs FAST, but has NO extras. If you don't want it in there, it's NOT.

Hello
SuperSport, nice ROM tested since 1 hour and something is missing for me ... a real finger keyboard, can you share the one you cooked in 23064 Rom. I didn't find it on your mediafire web site.
Thanks a lot

I just noticed this. Will see what happened. I had it working, but somehow lost it.
Edit: Indeed, I accidentally removed a language folder for IE. It's back in, but will take me a bit to re-upload the files. I will notify in this post when they are back up, check back. All updated and IE8 Working!

SuperSport, nice ROM tested since 1 hour and something is missing for me ... a real finger keyboard, can you share the one you cooked in 23064 Rom. I didn't find it on your mediafire web site.
Thanks a lot

The Keyboard you speak of is Cooked in. I will be adding it to the Normal Version coming shortly.
Here is a CAB version. Not sure if it works on this ROM, but it's worth a try.

I was using 1.56.70.11 for a Long time, but then decided to try others to see which one gives me best performance and battery life. Because I use my phone so differently from week to week, it's hard for me to judge, and I just stopped with 1.46.30.11 and have not changed it again.
I 'THINK' 1.56.70.11 gives a slight GPS perfermance boost, but at the cost of battery life. That's only an educated guess from using it for a year or so. I'd be curious what others think now that 1.56.70.11 has been here for a while...

[ROM] 2-18-10 Egzthunder1's 25005 (MetroPCS) - Clean Version

Thank you all for being patient. I don't have as much time to cook as before but due to a bunch of requests (particularly due to different tastes for boot splash images), I decided to cook a new rom altogether rather than fixing the old one. This one has more features too! So, if anything, you are all getting something better (and so am I )
*Increased pagepool size to 18 MB!
*New Build 25005 (no clue about which COM branch it belongs to, so please don't ask )
*Added Bing
*Added Mega Dialer (scroll bar is still an issue, but it doesn't look that bad)
*MSN Widgets are Back
*Removed Opera since there is a newer version out there (with Flash support!). I haven't gotten the cab, so I will let you all install it and let me know
*Internet Sharing Added
*FaceBook Mobile is Back!
*Showcase Task Manager
*Added QuickGPS (for faster lockons... or so I hear)
*Dialer Lag is gone!!!
*The only extra that I don't like (and I did not put in) was haptic feedback when touching the start menu. If anyone knows how to get rid of this... please.
Here is the Link
Installation Notes:
Drop the XDA_UC folder located in the rar file onto the root of your SD card. Flash and soft reset. The UC process will start upon second boot. You can add/remove any cabs that you want to (or not want) so that the system will install them automatically.
CDMA Weather Fix:
Select the weather in your city in the Manila tab prior to installing this fix. Once it is selected, install and soft reset.
LINK to Weather Fix
Please enjoy and if you like it and feel like buying me coffee... by all means

Bugs
*Graphics on the radio buttons and scroll bars look weird. I think that the zoom on them is screwed up. Looking for a solution...
*Strange behavior of the bottom bar. Touching either left-most or right-most corners will make the device vibrate. Touching the center will make it make a sound. I have absolutely no clue why this is happening. I have never come across this on any rom... suggestions are welcome. [highlight]FIXED! See Next Post on How to do it[/highlight]
*I accidentally forgot to cook in the MMS composer, but you can get it from a lot of different threads in this site. You will need to obtain a cab and install it (sorry about this).
Everything else is working so far

Misc and Fixes
*Vibrating Bottom Bar: This is due to Showcase Task Manager, which I had no idea it had this "annoying" feature on it. To disable, open Regedit (cooked in the rom) and look for the following entries
HKCU\Software\e-Natives Technology\Showcase
Look for the following 2 keys and change the values to 0
SuiteVibrate_Tap
SuiteVibrate_Hold

One more for the road

egz, which opera has flash support. I didn't think any of the opera browsers supported flash yet.

I read somewhere in the Dev ad Hacking that a new version of Opera had emerged with flash support... I will see if I can find it.
BTW,
I am about to release a new rom (I am currently uploading). I think I have tackled all the small issues present in this one. I'm sure all of you will be happy with it

Opera Mobile 10 u3 has the flash support. Its off by default, you just need to enable it in settings.
BTW, there have been ways to get flash working on opera for pretty much every 9.X version as well, it just required some fiddling (and ran like crap, buts thats besides the point, it did work).

Yes, I am aware of that. Ever since the cabs for Flash lite 3 surfaced about a year and a half ago. And I do agree too... it was very much crappy

[ROM][WWE][SenseUI] XevRev 1.0b2 - [WM6.5 28014/21889] - Release: Dec 17, 2010

Welcome to XevRev Vogue Series!
If you have never flashed a custom ROM onto your phone before, you must unlock your phone! Instructions can be found here!
This is for CDMA based Touch (Vogue) phones! GSM phones (this means your Touch has a SIM card) are not compatible and flashing this ROM onto a GSM could render your phone permanently disabled!
This is the first release of XevRev, based on WM6.5 28014 and 21889 with XPR compression. You will notice the similarities to NuVogue because NuAngel and I are real-life friends who share our knowledge on cooking.
The basic methodology of my ROM's is to create a suitable "OEM" replacement ROM. That means there will be a focus on stability, usability and ease of use; along with an "out-of-box" experience that should require no major adjustment once flashed. This also means that the ROM will feature a very trim set of "stock" applications. I want to enjoy using my phone, and any tweak or change I make needs to make my experience more enjoyable and simple.
One of the main points of XevRev's core builds will be the focus on SenseUI. 1.0 will utilize the same SenseUI 2.0.2016.3224 packages found in NuVogue 8. There will be no focus on Titanium due to the ridiculous amount of tweaking and (imo) "garbage" applications required to make it work flawlessly with little hassle.
XevRev will only be released with carrier specific builds. I have developed XevRev with Verizon in mind, but I would hope that the other builds are just as stable and capable. The main reason for a focus on carrier specific builds is that it seems to get programming/roaming update working (at least on Verizon). This means you can program your phone without flashing back to a stock carrier ROM like some people have had to, or manually updating PRL files. It also means you won't have to update your PRL after using some REALLY old carrier cabs (which just REALLY ticked me off).
I will now explain how XevRev development will move forward for the short term. XevRev will not be developed like many roms, and will not receive a "major" release every build (example with NuVogue 1,2,3, etc). Instead, it will receive minor updates addressing issues with the current software, then major releases that add new features.
1.0 series
This series will focus on getting the basics right. There will be ZERO focus on GPS features in 1.0 because of my inability to test them because of letting Verizon's customizations run. *edit* 1/21/11 - I have obtained my new XV6900.
What is on the XevRev 1.0 to-do list:
Adding MightyMike and Juggalo_x's tethering fix to beta 2! TOP PRIORITY!
Setting the following registry values to be default out-of-box:
Getting nueSIPDefault or another SIP Default software to make Swype primary keyboard.
Disabling WM built in word suggestion.
Disabling Swype's built-in auto suggestion.
Removing Music tab from SenseUI
Removing Programs tab from SenseUI
Removing Wi-Fi options from com manager.
Finding a fresher default sound system to drop in.
Finding the "Verizon Train" sound effect for messaging. This is only for myself and not for the main build, just so I can bug my buddy to hell and back with it! lol Found it on my new Touch Pro2. Muhuhahaha!
Making Opera the browser that will load from SenseUI Home screen.
Making about:blank he default page that will load from SenseUI Internet screen.
Replacing Earth with Opera logo in SenseUI Internet Screen.
Possibly replacing HTC Mega theme with a different theme.
Possibly cooking in SBP Time (demo).
Possibly replacing ArcSoft Messaging client with another SMS client.
Possibly removing nuePerformance.
Possibly add an auto home screen lock that doesn't completely @#$% me off.
Possibly add in EZ Input. ADDED IN 1.0 BETA 2!
Possibly remove Total Commander since it is a power user feature.
Fixing the weather update on the home screen. COMING IN 1.0 FINAL.
Remove any modules that are not doing anything at all!
What is on the XevRev 2.0 to-do list:
Porting CDMA Phone Canvas to QVGA.
Making Youtube app function.
More to come...
XevRev 1.0 features!
System
XPR compressed ROM. This is the best compression to use on Vogue, and provides faster loading and better loading performance then no compression at all, and faster overall speed vs LZX.
SenseUI 2.0.2016.3224 based mostly on Mega Ext TMO_UK_1.33.110.2 package, along with crazy4tricks's Manila SenseUI 2.0.2016.3224 package.
HTC Default M2D theme.
HTC Vogue Dialer with working program codes on Verizon Wireless (*228 PRL update and phone programing should work 100%).
xTask 2.3b4, with task icons pre-disabled. I picked this task manager for ease of use.
nuePerformance - for boot benchmarking.
nueSIPDefault - for setting SIP input to a different keyboard during boot.
ArcSoft Messaging 5.2.2.64
Imaging
HTC Vogue Camera app from PPCk (if anyone has anything newer that works, please let me know!).
HTC Album 3.0.1918.2223.
Input
Swype Keyboard 3.9.22.22(apparently) with Baly23's Touch like skin cooked in. Original WVGA Swype theme has been removed to save space! Keyboard loads much faster then when installing manually, but may still be too laggy for some (looking for feedback). Please donate to Baly23 for this wonderful QVGA skin!
EZ Touch Input from HTC Mega! This package shouldn't be as buggy as the old one found in PPCK. I have discovered no bugs with it.
Internet
Opera Mobile 10
IETools
Microsoft MyPhone 1.06.2718.0001
MySquare 1.3beta3.1
HTC Facebook 1.0.07.1
Productivity
Microsoft Office 2010
Utility
HTC Calculator from PPCk.
frNotepad 1.4.3.
SpbScreenshot - for reporting bugs on XevRev.
Pocket RAR - Supports ZIP and RAR, so why have anything else?
Foxit PDF Reader - Picked over Adobe Reader because of Adobe's own software being filled with security holes.
Total Commander - Popular Registry Editor
.NET CF 3.5 cooked in.
Mortscript COMING IN 1.0 FINAL!
Games
Solitar
Bubblebreaker
Carriers
Verizon Wireless
Sprint PCS
Alltel
Telus (CA)
Bell (CA)
Cellular South
Cricket COMING IN 1.0 FINAL!
Noticeable things you will find missing from this ROM
Codes folder - I have removed this from my dev builds, because for whatever reason, it would prevent my phone from receiving PRL updates from Verzion's *228.
Gobs of games - Seriously, how often do you play these things? I drive around to places, I don't take a bus. If I did, I would take my Nintendo DS instead of playing on my Vogue.
Carepackages *poke's NuAngel* - Takes too much space up in the rom, plan and simple. You can delete it, but the space is never freed up.
Crappy default themes from PPCK - Seriously, how old is some of this stuff? I want my phone to feel fresh, not dated. Replacing the default theme is a high priority.
SenseUI themes found here - Many of these themes are based on the dated look of Sense 1.0, and they are just ugly. Instead look in this thread for Sense 2.0 themes. Unsure how many are optimized for QVGA.
Manila 2D Customizer (M2DC) 0.29.235. This is not compatible with this build of Manila 2D 2.0.

Changes between 1.0b1 and 1.0b2
Added Build #81+
-Added MightyMike and Juggalo_x's tethering fix. I'd rather be safe then sorry. Not sure how well this fix still works.
-Added aGPS Confirmation package from HTC Mega. I don't know why I forgot this. Please test GPS features and give feedback!
-Added EZ Touch package from HTC Mega, seems to be working great! Perhaps this will fix whatever bug people talked about with the PPCK package found in NuVogue. If you want this as the default SIP, remember to set it in nueSIP!

If any links are dead or do not work, please private message me and I will fix them! All link to new domain name now.
If you want another carrier other then the ones listed above, simply request it and I will build both flavors for that carrier. I may release a generic one in the future after beta testing is completed.

Have fun and good night everyone!
I look forward to everyone's input. Development of XevRev started 09/24/2010, it was almost to the point of release in early November, but I've been busy with my new job! I hope everyone enjoys the fruits of my efforts.
I am considering a Paypal donation link, but I'll leave that for another day, along with the first screenshots.

Are both 28014 and 21889 equally stable? I know that 28014 is 6.5.3 and 21889 is 6.5 but was just wondering if they are equally stable lol.

Bell #80 doesn't work...please.

my testing with 21889 has been that it's as stable as the 28014 build. i would like feedback on 21889 to see if others find it stable.
The manila packages I'm using are from the HTC Mega, and that ran on 21889 which is why I thought to try it. SenseUI feels much faster with this build, but it's not as thumb friendly with task managers and hitting the start button. My new Touch Pro2 uses 21887. so I'm wagering that the builds in that series are stable.
As for build 80, I will fix it when I get home later. Is the link wrong or is the file corrupted somehow?
*edit* Fixed those links. Should be good to go.

I am uploading Beta 2 builds tonight. In addition to the builds I have previously done, I will be adding South Cellular. My upload speed is currently crap, so I may have to upload the rest in the morning after I get access to a cable connect.
I have uploaded pics from the beta 2 Verizon builds. I couldn't snap pics of Swype and Touch Input for whatever reason.
Beta 2 will add what has been listed above previously, I think the biggest is a much newer EZ Touch package then what everyone was used to in NuVogue, in addition to the aGPS prompt (GPS should work fine after this on all GPS enabled phones). I also added the tethering fix just in case, I need to do some file checks to see if the default PPCK files are already hacked or not (or I might just as in the IRC chatroom when I have time).
I'll make sure the uploads and links are posted (correctly) before I head to work tomorrow afternoon (EST -5 GMT).
If the testing of beta 2 goes well, then I will make my next release the true 1.0 and start working on some real improvements (Like getting Youtube to work, and adding QuickGPS).
Testers, please give me input on the following:
Swype Experience
Touch Input Experience (Beta 2)
Can your phone be programed and receive PRL updates on your carrier (I have confirmed this working on Verizon only!)?
TouchFLO Experience
Dialer Experience (particularly on non Verizon, and on all 28014 builds!)
21889 Stability
GPS Experience (Beta 2 only please)
xTask Experience
Any repeatable crashing on any build!
I recommend everyone to reboot your phone after your first boot with XevRev. This will particularly increase performance in 28014 builds (for whatever reason). Thanks everyone for giving my new rom a shot!

Sorry havent been around for a while, been moving. Will install this and test as soon as i can find my cables (hehe).

XevRev 1.0 beta 2 Released! 12/17/2010!

Remember to reboot your phone once after initial flash to get the best performance, especially with 28014 builds!

Instead of making everything brown like the mega sense have you considered black like the newer 3d versions of sense (ie. Rodium ). I made the Black theme on the second post of your link (sense/manila 2.0 themes). I have tonnes of system files that I ahven't deleted yet to get rid of every trace of brown from the mega if your interested.
P.S. gonna flash this baby on the old Vogue after Christmas to test it out, cool to see someone new take up development. My old Vogue is now a "PDA / MP3 player" for my oldest Son since I moved to the Desire but this looks fun enough to test out.

RE: ROM for Vogue (Bell)
hi,
I've been reading your posts, and seeing all the releases.
What's the best version for my HTC Vogue, on Bell ?
I think you now have a Beta 2 ...can I use that on it?
thanks
KC

also, any kind of GPS/Turn by turn navigation like tom tom or something that could be incorporated into this build, or if you guys know of a good one for Vogue on bell ?
I'll be sure to donate soon...
thanks
KC

For Bell, Use either Bell Canada ROM (unless they are still around in the US, let me know if that's the case then I'll figure something out.)
As for turn by turn navigation, Google maps is installed. i am currently unable to test the GPS features, but next week I am going to go threw the process of flashing my Vogue so it will have working GPS for testing (lots of time off for the holidays).
As for the theme, I world love to have a nice black theme like on my new RhodiumW, if anyone has a link to one that will install in cab format, I'll oemize it and toss that in instead!

Installed it yesterday evening. Everything is running smoothly; no crashing. Only thing that I have a problem is that the Weather doesn't update under the clock

I'll zip up all my graphic files for my jmitr mega black theme and send it to you. With four kids and Christmas coming soon, be patient though!
I designed my theme based on the Rodium look, it's the closest I know of
Jason

awesome. look forward to it. I'd love to see some pics of it if you have time to post a few.
As for the weather issue, I'll look into it.

Well, its going to take me awhile longer to get GPS up and running. Even though I got the GPS unlocked easily, for some reason my ERI has disappeared on the phone, now I can't program it. WTF

The GPS works fine with Google Maps on my Bell Vogue.

Good to know. I plan on adding QuickGPS at some point, but without being able to test it, seems like a pointless idea atm.
I unlocked the GPS on mine finally, but I still haven't figured out the ERI issue. If anyone with a Sprint Vogue could do the following it'd be a great help:
Dial ##diag# and put the phone in diagnostic mode.
Open the file system in either QPST or Bitpim and navigate to /ERI and tell me the name of the file there + extract/rar it.
This information must be from a Sprint Vogue, no other carrier will help me. ~_~ The file names seem to be completely different between carriers.
Yes, my phone is completely ERIless.. (WTF). I might make another post for this issue so I can fix it. I have NO idea how I nuked the ERI, but its really gone and I can't program the phone anymore. lol Perhaps I can test GPS features using a laptop and standing outside.... in the snow..... wait, I don't like that idea. lol
Hopefully this week I'll have time to dig into XevRev_V a bit more. I'd like to make a few tweaks before I really dig into making a Touch Pro2 release for my new phone (and i really hate Verizon's stock roms!).
