There are so many Athena roms that it can be a little daunting trying to figure out which ones to try. Although the surest way to know the rom that is best for you is to try it out, it would be helpful to the community to get some feedback on how the different roms compare from those that have tried them out.
I myself have stuck with Irus' Ultra Vanilla because of its great speed and stability but am curious if there are other roms that equal its speed and stability.
Looking forward to hearing your experiences.
Thanks,
A.
I am using sogarth base rom now, with some tweaks.
Net CF3.5 installed (modaco cab suite), Diamond tweaks for speed, disabled HTCSENSOR (ATHENA) and GSEN installed, moblue and jetware extension to solve ANY BT problem. Wtask to improve the task control, much better than HTC Xbutton
I am using it in 192 DPI, easy to use with fingers (first time in my Athena owner life I've lost my stylus, because I used somewhere, not needed for 2 days and discovered it missed too late )
Opera, IE and the VGA applications are working fine Tom Tom is fast, NO HANGUPS at all!
The fastest GPS Fix ever seen in my ATHENA. Radio 1.58 , I have to test if it works but this ROM support HSDPA AND HSUPA
I tested all the ROMs here, excepted latest Michyprima and Irus/Sogarth Vanilla.
TO me the answer is simple: I can't live without rotations sensor, FAST now, faster than Diamond and rotate only when and what needed. Face down screen off means longer battery life.
The choice is Sogarth base or Sogarth/Irus Vanilla? I am happy now with base..

I second this....but I"m using Radio 1.57 though, I like the fact that it changes from 3G to H when needed.

you'll need a registry editor...
and do the this: This is where I went and changed from "1" to "0": HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCSensor\GSensor\DeviceAvailabi lity=0
softreset your phone then install GSen, run it and you're all good to go.
to get the screen off when you turn down your phone: in GSen CFG at the bottom line "#fdscreenoff(0)", change the "0" to "1" save it and turn your phone down and see if the screen turns off.

That is such a true statement, I reverted back to the Sogarth base too because I like the rotate and some of the other programs that were removed in the vanilla. I also installed the .net 3.5 and just like Lennie I am also using radio 1.57
The only ROM that I have not tried is the AP4, AP5, and the MiChY 1.60 ROM.
I loved the Sogarth/irus base ROM, but the vanilla is even better. Everything removed can be put back to get back the base ROM but why take in stuffs that you'll never ever use? The less bloated it is, the faster the ROM will run. Takes less time to backup and restore are among the other benefits. I'm now trying out the 0 page pool version. I love it just as much.
This is also the only ROM that let's me put in my own splash screen for the soft reset. Irus has removed the animate.gif file and the associated sound. So if I like it the way it is in the base ROM, I simply copy them back from the extra folder. If I want to change it, simply design my own and give them the same file names and copy to the windows directory.
This is letting me to be the cook without having to learn how to cook!

question about net cf 3.5. Did you successfully install it with Sogarth vanilla rom? I am getting error message of not enough storage room. When reading at Modaco site, error seems to occur when an active process blocks the installation. I am not seeing anything in Sogarth vanilla rom that is creating a blockage. Any advice? Thanks!
I just saw that net cf 3.5 is in vanilla rom. Never mind...
Eaglesteve,
I just tried the Sogarth/Irus vanilla but found that it was sluggish when compared to Irus' Ultra Vanilla and so I have now returned to that one. Is there any other reason besides the speed that I should consider giving Sogarth/Irus vanilla another run (I am not particularly interested in the auto screen rotate)?
Thanks,

I'm surprised with your finding regarding speed because I had the opposite experience. I had found the irus ultra vanilla sluggish, that's why I did'nt use it.
Besides speed, the Sogarth Vanilla is of newer built. It's not just having auto totate. Many programs look and work in improved manner. Example is the contact application. The vanilla also is the least bloated, as irus has removed almost every non core applications, but let you put them back should you choose to do so. That's why its faster I guess. Backup and restore for example is faster. Lastly, it is also more stable, with almost no bugs.
apap, I would recommend trying irus's 0MB page pool version. To me it seems quite a bit speedier than the sogarth/irus rom, right there on par with the ultra vanilla IMO.
I am currently using the sograth/irus base 6.1 rom with radio 1.58.00 and I am very happy with the performance/stability. (No tweaks currently).
Cheers

READ everything before downloading please!
This is most likely the first beta(unless the moon turns blue and this beta is flawless) of the new AP 5.0 rom
its late at night and i will probably get a more detailed version of this and a vanilla uploaded tommorow but here is the run down:
most issues from 4.0 fixed hopefully.
new config app is in the works but didn't make it for this beta.
pretty much everything has been updated to latest and includes all working apps from the diamond rom.
album should now be reliable. haven't seen any problems with it coming up yet*knock on wood*
no manila sip since that changed the whole dialog stuff when composing emails and such. probably will end up as a cab in final with option to turn on and off the manila suggestions that replace the microsoft ones.
other things i dont remember
THIS IS FOR SPL 3.5 ONLY!!! IT IS A FULL ROM ALSO AND A BETA
please test app compatibility. also i tried to fix the realvga issues but it seems impossible without cmonex or creator of realvga.
one issue i would like to challenge someone to fix: a dialog should come up when connecting usb that should ask if u want to connect to activesync or mass storage mode. the exe for that dialog works(htcusbtopcdialog.exe or something like that in windows folder) but the dialog doesn't show up. browny points for the one who figures this out.
now here is the rom(remember this is for spl 3.5 only): DOWNLOAD SPL 3.5 ONLY
*note: sorry i had to say spl 3.5 so many times(still probably isn't enough) but i need to make sure some idiot doesnt try this with the old spl 1.XX*
Pawel
Can you make a Vanilla on the old spl please please please please? I don't want to repartition the memory unnecessarily, as it severely limits my ROM options.
Thanks!

dont worry there will be one. it was decided it was no good to do it for AP4 now, but AP5 WILL have one from day one. you have my guarantee for that
p.s.: I meant the final version above, but the beta will also have one tomorrow.

nice job.. ill stay posted
ssd upgrade?
will this rom support ssd upgrade from the poor microdrive?
can you flash from sdcard or is it just desktop only with this?
EDIT: appears desktop only, the 3.5bootloader keeps saying image not found, tried a few variations of ATHEIMG.nbh but no avail such as ATHE100.nbh ATHIMG.nbh ATHE100IMG.nbh
Cmonex, do you know what image name the new spl looks for?
Flashing With Microsd.....
hey all,
just a note, i have spl 3.5 on my x7501 and have flashed 4 different variations of cooked roms now, including AP 3.0 and a few others, and all from microsd... the only one i have found that WILL NOT flash from microsd is AP 4.0, as i cannot find a .nbh file after extracting the .exe (but it may be possible)...
Anyways, sorry i cannot say for sure that you can flash THIS rom yet as i havent tried it, but you CAN flash from microsd/minisd with spl 3.5 as long as the file name is ATHEIMG.nbh --- ONLY! (as far as i know)
hi
no comments, no screenshot from the 1st users ?
is it possible for you to make a version of AP 5.0 beta without all the extra programs in system and programs menu. Thank's
So far so good. AP5 Seems to be faster than AP4. Installing softwares now. I like the new volume control. Will keep posted.
Playing with it now, thanks a lot again to all!!
Looks very sleek and is definitely a lot quicker than AP4!
I like the new comm manager, but after switching to 128dpi it became unresponsive...
Tapping on any of its icons (WiFi, bluetooth etc.) simply makes it disappear...
Will report more later...
Cheers

Nope that doesn't work here with either ap4 Irus' 3.5spl rom or ap5.
-------
In the end I installed at work, as I found a cable in with one of the cameras.
seems much faster that ap4. not felt need to start tweaking too much yet..
Initial thougts, startmenu is set too big for initial load in 192dpi, might be best to turn it off set it smaller for initial run.
new htc home still prevents igo8 from starting. turn it off reboot and works fine.
Replaced htc home with UL and rltoday combo for speed and reliability.
new task manager and popup screen for system state is nice, when you press the new funky icons at the top. turned off task manager and use WKtask though instead as more functional.
Not checked yet what the buffer setting for the SD card is, on AP4 I set it to 256 as larger files loaded faster. But seems good so far.
Can write large files to MD without it corrupting, so maybe it was something in AP4 that was causing it.
Nice big buttons to press to answer calls!
Overall vast improvement.
FWIW i'm sticking with 192dpi for the time being as I like S2P and S2U2 which I'm about to install.
update, as typing had problem #1.
screen locked on incoming call, this was 3rd call I've had but 1st problem. had total commander open and flexmail (but not syncing). Not certain what caused it, can turn off screen with power button so device not hard locked, but reset with pinhole and it's working again.
Tested incoming call after reset with no issues, if I get it again I'll see if I can work out why.
Testing AP5 BETA
I have installed the AP5 beta this morning and it is working great. So far i have found only one change needed. But that is not an issue with using this rom. The first screen after reset is shows "Smart mobility, Featuring AP4" and it should say AP5.
Bluetooth, Wifi, and other software problems which we had in the AP4 are gone . It is a very good work by AP team. Thanks to all.
Before you release the AP5 can you please update the WKTask to version 1.173c which is the latest.
Anyone struggling with AP4 SPL 3.5 should try this. You will love it. Once again Thanks for the AP Team. Some screenshots from my device with AP5 Beta
Opera 9.5 build 781 with AP5 not working
I installed Opera 9.5 build 781 in AP5. It installed without problems, but I couldnt open Opera. Anybody else have the same problem ?.
Other softwares I tried and are working fine are
SPB Diary, SPB Finance, SPB Wallet, SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, Pocket Informant 8, Resco Photo Viewer Pro, Resco Keyboard and Resco File Explorer.
Thanks again for the ROM.
Thanks once again for your work.
New icon of Bluetooth in the bar of tasks.
New icon of 3g and bar of signal
It does not turn the single screen?
Good bare speed (Far better for my pleasure)
New system of tasks… when pressing on the icons in the bar of tasks appears to us a screen to use with the fingers… half strange… will be necessary to be accustomed….
Garmin XT follows without working. Why... Why....????
Bye!!!!

For SPL 3.5 only.
Thanks for Olipro
Information:
bla-bla-bla.
How about some descriptions and screens for this ROM?
Does it have HTC touchflo? How does its contact application look like? etc.
SPL 3.5 means... WHAT base ROM? AP4, AP3, AP5, IRUS?
WM6 or WM6.1?
Other info?
EDITED
The ROM's name explain something: IRUS rom (settings, about)claims to be the WM6.1 19521.1.1.0 build; from the file name this ROM seems to be the WM6.1 19209.1.0.2 (older build ...). Otherwise sometime rom cookers edit the build numbers ....
Base: wwe ROM from HTC X7510
NK.exe : from ap4
wm6.1 19209 b19209.1.0.2
19521 - fake ROM
I'm going to try this out today, thanks .
Hmm, there is some customization that's missing here, maybe to make it "Ultra Lite". Gotta tweak it to see if I like it or not.
*Update*
Ok, a LOT of this ROM is in Russian, I really don't like the included apps, there are some pirated application on there, HTC X-Button doesn't work at all, there isn't the same HTC Home as AP4/5, you can't customize the menu AT ALL, the scroll bars are thin making it VERY hard to use your finger, it starts using OzVGA, not even RealVGA, HSDPA is disabled by default...The only thing I like about this ROM so far, is that my MobileTalk application actually works, and that I can run Garmin again due to the larger RAM size. I will wait for AP5 vanilla before I flash again, or I'll try AP4, as at least that works with my MobileTalk program.
*Update 2*
Wow, here's a MAJOR problem with this ROM, apparently he didn't add the ability to uninstall programs. Sorry buddy, but because of this, this ROM is gone.
darkjedi,
Sorry, however not all your conclusions about this ROM are correct.
1. There are NO programs in Russian. All are in English.
2. Yes, there isn't the same HTC Home as AP4/5. But nobody said that it must be here
3. The menu used is QuickMenu. It is fully customizable and it has HTC X-Button functionality inside. You even do not need HTC X-Button installed. To customize menu just click Start->QuickMenu->Options
4. It is easy to make the scroll bars as thick as you like - just run
OzVGA and customize
5. Yes it has SOME problems with uninstall, but it is not so critical
And what about speed of this ROM? It is very, very quick and responsive.
Actually it is Ultra Lite, but high-speed system.

Sorry but no, I do not want some "QuickMenu" program that looks ugly and is obtrusive. HTC X-Button is small and does it's job, and allows me to just hit the X and the program closes. And btw, the OS STARTS in Russian btw, and CorePlayer is all in Russian. So I have to go into ANOTHER program just to edit the menu? Ugh. That's incredibly stupid. OzVGA is annoying and very buggy. And WHERE is the add/remove programs? Let me guess, ANOTHER program? Nice attempt, but with all this crap? Sorry but AP4.0, bugs and all, is much better.
Does not sound like an ultra lite to me if it contains so many unwanted third party bloatware.
I'm still waiting for a true vanilla, not pseudo vanilla. On Spl 1.2 please. There's no need to lose any memory to useless programs.

You know even with all the negativity, I may try it. Still having several issues in AP4 and AP5. Waiting to install the next Ap5
1) So the startup and/or Coreplayer is in Russian - who cares Install wwe version
2) I hate the HTC Home in Ap4 and AP5 too big.takes up way to much of the today screen. ALways install htc home vga over it anyway.
3) Quick Menu is really not that bad. It is installed in many of the roms in other forums - Kasier especially.
4) Haven't used OzVga since my universal - It have some issues awhile back, but it was basically like realvga used in other AP rom..Not sure if it works well, but hey why not try it while I wait for another AP rom
5) This seems like a real issue, that would suck, but again I just feel like flashing something, while I wait for another rom to try....

Best ROM
This ROM works practically without problems. And very fast.
On speed and reliability it the best of all for Athena.
And Russian? It I would learn only that it talked Lenin. (V.V.Mayakovsky)

Does it have HTC Touchflo and the new Contact Applications ? Is the speed as fast as the WM6.0 stock ROM?
Have you tested its GPS, bluetooth, and WIFI yet? Could you uninstall the big menu, russian coreplayer, ozVGA, and HTC X-button?
Hi Everyone,
I am seeing lot of updates including iPhone version. I am wondering which one is the best compatible for my Dopod 818 pro.
I am looking to the lot of experts on this wonderful forum to provide me some expert opinion. I just don't want launch some ROM and have the dopod become a brick.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Brenda
All the ROM here have been tested, at least by his cooker.
So, just pick the ROM that suitable for your need, try to read the guidelines and start flashing.
I've been flashing my dopod 818pro almost 20 times, and still OK until now.
How is the iPhone 1.1 or 1.2 upgrades or which one did you like the most?
Hi Legedug,
Thanks for the fast response. Did you try the iPhone ROMs? Did it work? I ran in to some problem when I tried it (went to three color screen and stayed there). Of all the 20 odd upgrades which did you like the most for performance as well as functionalities? Please share info and thanks.
Brenda

Yup, I tried both, it used old method for flashing, it worked (means I can see and running the program/not stuck in boot looder), but for some reason I did not use for long time.
In my opinion the first stable ROM is Varanusvincent ROM (Black edition 2), I use this ROM for several weeks.
The next is dioxda 1d, and then I tried to cooked my self, and now I use my ROM base on Glass Prophet ROM CE OS 5.2.20270( Build 20270.1.3.2 NAM).
The third one is Varanusvincent ROM (Bubble 2), I catagorized this ROM as clean (without HTC Home).
So if you want to add some feture later, try clean one, but if you interested in ready to use, pick some ROM that the features included within.
But if you want to add some feature for your need, the best is trying to cook your self (Inteks has made the best cooking software that I used it a lot, called it, Neokit)
I've tried about 10 roms. The best for me is Dioxda2's 1d. It's the fastest, stable, and low batt consuming. Combine it with 2.19.21 radio rom. It'll be great
Perfect ...
you'll find it hard to believe but in my opinion,... the best ROM so far is,... Crystal V4 from hma4. It is rather "old" brew but no WM6.1 ROM has been better in my opinion.

Is there one file that I can download that as opposed to many links???
Hi Legedug / drTaruna:
I am trying to install the Dioxda2's 1d for the dopod 818 pro. I am looking to download the ROM and associated apps... I am seeeing so many links... is there one nicely packaged big file that I can download that has all the utilities and the ROM. Please advice. Thanks in advance....
Brenda
A quick question:
What apps do you need?
Because there are lots apps on here such as icontact, s2u2, s2V, s2P, HTC home, mortscript, throttle, quickMenu.
Or if you like (prefer) complete ROm, use full ROM such as Cloudyfa or Varanusvincent ROM.
I think Dioxda's 1d is a full rom. Many useful programs included. I only have to add some readers for my eBooks collection.
Here are some. ...
... some more cabs.
There are some useful application. Ready to use, in Maxniper's thread. Just download and copy to storage card.
Have a nice hunt
Enjoy ... .
Options I like and want.....
Hi Legedug,
I am looking for nice Dial Keypad like in the Glass or IPhone and ability to change theme, Low battery Consumption, good signal reception, voice dial, ability to close programs from Home page, good Blue Tooth connection, Good key board for Instant messaging and finally easy navigation.
Not really interested in Radio or PDF reader or etc stuff that I would use a laptop for.
Are there separate cab files that I can load in to my SD Card and execute for each function? Thanks for all your help.
Have a great weekend.
Brenda
Thanks drTaruna....
Hi drTaruna,
Thanks for all the cab files. I have downloaded them and going to use some of them definitley. Really appreciate your help.
Have a great weekend.

Sorry, I am out of my office now
I only could point out the soft for what you need.
1. Dialpad; use dfx dialpad or iphone dialpad but for changing the theme you should manually create and replace it the file from /windows folder
2. Battery consumption; use batfix.cab
3. Signal reception; use networkwizard
4. Voice dial use cyberion or microsoft voice dial
5. Bluetooth connection depend on ROM but also there are some BT connection in cab file
6. Keyboard; PocketCM keyboard, also some cooker made his color keyboard.
7. Close program from homepage; use QuickMenu plus WKtask
8. For easy navigation; it depends on taste.
Hope this help you little
lite.cab is sktools, loaded from varanusvincent's threads. Useful to clean up ram and optimized reg beside for benchmarking.
Enjoy ...

how is this rom compared to tom's 2.06 (tf3d 2.1) rom?
for me tom's 2.06 is the best from regular (not m2.5) roms, everything works good, very stable, pretty fast and no bugs at all.
the main difference is 2.06 vs 2.08, this can be felt in some way?
anyone tried them both & can compare?
10x.

I've tried both. I like Tom's ROM and used it for some time but the Facebook integration always caused Touchflo to restart for me, this doesn't happen on Dutty's.
Therefore I prefer Dutty's Had no crashes, very stable and a few other tweaks I like.
Downside is having to add a lot of CAB's to get the look that I want but this is down to a. my personal preference and b. my inability to make things myself!
Hi do anybody know how to change to 3 rows instead of 4 rows for dutty rom? Tried tom's cab but it doesn't work. Screw up the start menu display.

On the other hand, installing a new keyboard is about the easiest thing you can do. Ezinput, FingerKeyboard or others...
Well worth it if you're otherwise happy with the ROM. I've never ever had a custom ROM that's been exactly the way I like it. But I don't complain about it, I fix it.
i would like to switch off "vibrate when keys are pressed", but i can't find the setting?!
some one please explain difference between MSVC and non MSVC versions
i tried to search but found its something with linux or c++ i don't know any of them how this difference seen to user?
all previous roms are with or without MSVC?
MSVC is Microsoft Voice Command (or Control ?) which gives you the abilty to operate your phone by voice commands.

You are right about that one
Anyway how about Page rotation on this Rom?It's just for me or there is nothing like that ever there?
I don't like the new Acrobat reader,you can't view pages completely as full screen,I'm sure Dutty will take care of these few things pretty soon.
Is this bug with weak signal indication? I can see no more than 2 bars.
I read about similar problem with udK's Leo ROM. And there was problem with icons file, as I can remember.
With udK's R6 and Shadowlines 6.5 Stable there was no signal strength problems (radio the same).
And thanks for great ROM. I think, that you must name it R1, not R0. It is solid and fast.

Just install the attached fix (official from HTC), it will improve the signal indication.
Extract and run the exe from SD card => soft reset => enjoy

OK, thanks. It works.
Hope, this fix will be included into new release.
I am on Tmobile and live in Lincolnshire, so have never enjoyued great signals. However, I genuinely think that this ROM is brilliant. I have yet to come across a bug.
If I'm being a picky arse, I would like the Wireless to be on demand, but this is being picky.
I think this ROM is very fast indeed and this mythical beast, 'dutty', has got a new fan...Excellent
I have been using udK's R6 before but now tried this one.
Good experience. The hotfix fixed the signalbar thing.
Don't like the File explorer ex version though.
The wifi seems to stay on all the time and does not automatically disconnect when not in use, even tough it is set up that way. Anyone got this too? Drains the battery pretty fast....
sms notification doesn't seem to work in stand by either...
Alee's HTC Titan/XV6800/Mogul ROM - Build 23569
Notes: Your phone must be unlocked. I use Olipro 2.40. You also have to have a GPS radio installed. I use version 3.42.50. Please read up on flashing roms for the Titan if this is your first time. I'm not responsible for you breaking/bricking/making your phone unusable. Use at your own risk!
I will include a Verizon ROM and a Carrierless ROM. Should work with DCD's carrier cabs, but I have no way to test. Please let me know if it works!
6.5.X ROM 23569 - Verizon - Updated 5/23/10

6.5.X ROM 23569 - No Carrier - Updated 5/23/10
http://www.4shared.com/file/pxK7WmZh/ALEE23569NCV2.html
This is a WM6.5 ROM for the Titan. I've started cooking a rom for this device because it seems like other ROMs don't update with new builds too often anymore. This 6.5 ROM is designed to be light and useable everyday.
It has 23MB of free RAM in low memory mode, and about 29MB of free RAM in high memory mode(no camera) while using ActiveSync. It runs stable and has 119MB free memory for programs/files.
In order to save memory and resources, some packages have been removed. This means that not all features are available or will not work with this ROM. If it's not included in the ROM, and somebody asks for the feature, I'll do my best to provide a method to install the features in the future.
This is a work in progress, and it's not for everybody. Some things just don't work, but the things that work run well.
I'm going to try to support this ROM as best as I can, but I'm not a pro at this. Alot of my work has been trial and error and reading through the forums to fix my mistakes. I will probably try to keep up with updates until January of 2011, where I'll be able to get a Touch Pro 2 with Verizon's new every two.
The ROM generated thanks to the PPCKitchen.org project. I think it's a great utility that helps a normal person like me cook a custom ROM. Feel free to give their utility a try if you want to cook your own ROM.
Additionally, thanks to all the developers who have publicly provided fixes/patches/updates/programs to the Titan world. Most are long gone and have moved on to better phones, but I wouldn't still be using my XV6800 without their work.

hi alex,
nice to know theres any update ROM for Mogul.
I'll try it
thanks
gonna test it out. Sounds good though. Thanks
New Version
Updated the ROM today. I cleaned up the Titanium registry entries and it seems to have made the Titanium screen snappier and smoother. I also put in some reg entries that are supposed to help the 6.5 memory leak issues. Seems to work well enough for now.
Calculator Replacement
Since you're already doing a Calculator Replacement, I'd submit that you consider using the program 'Eval' ( www .dl-c.com/PPC/ )
I've been using it for many years going back to pre-phone pdas and I think it works better then the built-in, and possibly better then the HTC version (though I can't guarantee that)
check it out and let me know what you think
souns good imma try it right now. is there a way you can build one with cricket arcsoft and wap built in if possible
Can't use WiFi
thanks for this rom! i really like it!
but just one problem which it cannot use wifi as before.
would you mind telling me how to solve this?
thank you very much!
@915Tibby.
I have no idea what cricket is, but if you send me a link to a thread with the files and some sort of instructions, I'll give it try.

Wifi works for me...can you describe where you run into problems when you try to connect?
hello everybody!
Im really new here so i was wondering....
Is there a reason I should be using this ROM instead of Ryan Mogul's WM6.5 light ROM? "forum.xda-developersdotcom /showthread.php?t=496982" (without the space, hyphens and switch the 'dot' with a period .)
Is this one better? Is this one more "up to date" and does it work better than Ryan Moguls WM6.5 light ROM?
THANKX!!!
I've never used Ryan's roms so I don't know what is better or not. It seems that rom is based on an older build of windows 6.5 where mine is built on the newest 6.5.5 build. The newer build has some graphical enhancements that are designed to be more finger friendly (larger buttons, start menu on bottom.)
Based on his include list, it seems like he includes more things in his ROM. I cooked my rom based on having the bare essentials and every user can install his own extras based on their preferences.
The best way to check is to try them both out and see which one is more appropriate for you.
hey i just flashed your verizon rom to my phone, and it didn't work.
Never mind! I got it working! GREAT ROM! THANX BUNCHES!!! Oh and btw, yours is much better than Mr. Ryan Moguls!
thanks for the reply

i am in China,but 23566 rom works very well for me,i mean wifi,everything.
thank you very much!
Thank you! One thing...
Thanks so much for doing this. I really appreciate getting some new life into an old device, it feels like cheating! Anyway, I have one minor nitpick. I'm a GNU/Linux user, and had trouble opening the archive because .rar is a proprietary format. Would you consider using a zip archive next time? Thanks again!
I will upload the ROM as a zip next time.
