As the title suggests, B???k = BLACK
Black will be back for the Raphael. Ive had time off from xda-devs (busy with career and simply drinking) but now as soon as the Raphael lands in my palms you will also get your hands on the dark flavour of HTC rom development.
I wont be releasing ROMS on a daily basis, but more sparingly with the latest releases and of course surprises. Once a ROM is released, feedback will be gathered over a period of time before a revision is made available. Lets remember to also use our devices for what they are for, and that is not flashing them everyday unless you are extremely bored.
FADE TO BLACK
coming soon to the Raphael
Now all i need is the raphael.

Welcome back sir!!
Yep i think we need some WM Black action again
That's music to my ears.
Welcome back JJ
Looking forward to the roms.
Can't wait, I remember the Hermes ROMs, I thought we had lost a legend when you left, but now that you're back, looks like I will have to buy a Touch Pro when they release.
RAPHAEL SHADOW OF THE DAY
it could be a nice name
i tend to name the roms after metal songs, metallica springs to mind this time. i.e. Fade to Black http://www.imeem.com/diane-ebbers/music/G7nSDc7m/metalica_fade_to_black/

OK then dude, howz about "WM6.1 BLACKENED?"
Welcome back black shark!
Ok, this announcement made me decide to buy the Raphael instead of the Omnia or Xperia
Hi JJ. Have been lurking around since your Hermes time. Welcomeback ^_^
I want one too of course, but i think the price is an overkill for me. Around $1000? Geezzz... Think i must wait until it dropped into 700-800 level (such as my current Kaiser), or else my wife will kill me. LoL =D Well, see you around 4-5 months from your firsthand to Raphael then =)
As for Metallica theme, I guess your nick should be changed to "Master of Puppets", who control the realm of the "Blackened" with has neverending "Fade To Black" twilight season
Please feel open to let us be your "Friend of Misery", Master.
"Hit the Lights" and then "Jump In The Fire"! "Carpe Diem, Baby!". Yeahhh...!!!!

welcome back to the dark side.
Lay beside me, under wicked sky
Black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining
So what will us await with the dark side of ROM developement?
I am not here for very long so please let the padawan know
Cant wait - Another rolercoaster ride once realeased me thinks..... Welcome back JJ.
.
Welcome back bruh,
Black was the first rom I flashed. Can't wait to see you tear it up again.
I spoke to Telstra yesterday and the rep said they have Diamond on stock now. He didn't have any info on Touch Pro yet. I don't know if I can hold on much longer.
JJ, do you know when Touch Pro will land Oz? If it is soon, I will wait. Otherwise, I have to jump to Diamond instead.
Ever since you're ROMS for the Hermes, nothing has been as good
Even Duttys Kaiser ROMS were not even close
I'll be switching to T-Mobile when the Vario/Raphael comes out, and now I'm in the 'Can't Wait" status simply because of this awesome news
It is true, Once you go black, You never go back...In a HTC phone ROM sense lol

Seriously. There was only one really stable ROM for Kaiser. Q-mobile 1.2 and then he vanished... Maybe Q-mobile was really Jas in disguise? eh?
Jas you should make a ROM for AT&T Tilt to give the US people something good to work with until we get a Touch Pro over here.

I almost agree with you. I loved Q-Mobile 1.2 too!
But I guess you've never tried udK Vega ROM, it's as stable and fast as Q-Mobile, but it's a WM6.1 ROM.
You should really give it a try!
On topic:
Today I reveived my Touch PRO, waiting for the first cooked ROM to flash!
If the performance will improve the same as with a Kaiser cooked ROM, my Raphael is going to be very fast!

Hello,
I've been on my Touch Pro now for a little over a week. It's truly a great phone out of the box, but perhaps it could be better? I noticed a lot of work and posts concerning different ROMs for the Diamond and Touch Pro.
I'm wondering which ROMs, if any, can be used on the Sprint Touch Pro. I understand that custom ROMs are faster, which is good.. but what else might they provide besides pre-installed or removed programs?
If I were to use a different ROM, I do want the Sprint Navigation and Sprint TV apps that are pre-installed. I suppose I could grab those CABs and install them manually?
Apologies if this has been asked, but it seems most of the stuff around here pertains to the GSM version of the Touch Pro. I don't want to try anything without being 100% sure!
Lastly, has anyone posted a backup of the stock Sprint ROM to go back to?
I too would like to know all this as my sprint touch pro is coming tuesday. does anyone know if there is a wiki for sprint touch pro yet?
Count me in. I've been a lurker for many years (back when the HTC Apache came out) and am lovin DCD's rom for the Titan. Now that I've jumped on the Touch-pro bandwagon I'm looking for a cooked rom too. JD's rom does not interest me since it removes features I want, and I'm not sure what the benefit of his rom is.
Same here, except I'm getting a Verizon TP soon.
Is there some page that compares/contrasts the various roms that are available?
Re:Custom Roms
There is a list of custom roms as well as other info you may want to read in the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443869
my fav one so far
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43229
that one has been my fav. I'm a huge fan of nuerom but its not that great for the touch pro right now. I use 32mb pp and its sweeeeeeet
ive tried all the ones posted on ppcgeeks. the one i like the best is ya4juggs. the newest ones are clean roms so there are really nothing in them except basic stuff, for the person who posted about the sprint navagation and sprint tv. not to worry there is a link for a sprint cabs including the ones you want and more you just have to instal them and your good to go. if you can find them i will post them. dont forget to unlock your touch pro
So, are these custom ROMs just reportedly faster because they have less installed?

Yes, use this one, if you use the one in your previous post it will brick your device.
Are there any ROMs that keep the Bell branding? I remember using a WM6 ROM on my Treo and it changed the logo to Sprint, which got me weird looks when I tried to sell it
Anyway, I basically just want to make sure that the ROMs for Sprint will also work with Bell's Touch Pros.
I like MightROM4 for windows mobile 6.1 and MightROM5 for Windows Mobile 6.5.
I also have seen someone porting Touch Pro2 ROM to original Touch Pro which has some new features.
i like neuroms,, started using nuerom on my mogul! it went from a piece of crap, to a 31mb monster that was faster than my stock touch pro
so now im using nuerom for my tp
My Verizon Touch Pro comes on monday. First thing i'm doing is flashing it. I'd like to get some opinions on the best ROM's at the moment to start with.
Thanks
ssk
Hands down it's the best out there.... especially with the kitchen bc you can customize it to your liking instead of only having what someone else decided to cook up for you...
sounds good, now just so I don't get lost, I'm kinda new to this. What's the difference between a ROM that's been cooked and then one that has a kitchen. Is it the fact that the entire ROM is customizable?

A cooked rom comes pre-built - you just flash and away you go
A Kitchen is a small program which lets you customize what you want, then create the ROM files automatically - then flash.
The Kitchen is more hands on.
I actually am using mighty rom 4.16 (Flashed a few others, but keeps going back to mighty mike).
SSK is good!
When my girlfriend got her Touch Pro the stock TELUS rom was horrible! Crummy performance, crashed often.. minor glitches.
I'm a fan of cooking a completely custom ROM but SSK really worked in a pinch. She's been using it two months steady with no complaints.
I tried JD's, Juicy, and mighty.......but im staying with the SSK rom now. Its perfect for me and my VZW. you will love it. Mighty was cool.....but i had to do all this customization to get it about how i wanted it, and then it was buggy. SSK was flash and go for me. I just added my own theme, apps, and did an active sync.
Just got my TP (VZW) on Friday. i loaded SKK It works seamlessly. SKK and POINTUI is the way to go
thanks guys, i really look forward to being an active member here

I've been flashing every build SSK puts out for the last couple months, and have enjoyed every one of them. When I was first learning how to use the kitchen, I wrote up extensive documentation on how to do it. My .doc file is a little to large to attach here, so let me know if you would like it via PM.
I for one, would love the document. If you get a chance, I would appreciate you sending it. Thanks.

Check out Scott's new website with forum for all of your SSK needs!!
http://www.sskusers.com/
For those who Don't know, Scrosler has released a ROM from his his newly formed kitchen SSK 2.0. After 4 days of being posted, no bug reports are coming in. The full Kitchen will be released very shortly. Check in on him at
http://www.sskusers.net
Scott is realeasing ROMS and Kitchens for the Sprint Diamond as well. Documentation can be found at that site.

I would definitely suggest using SPB Mobile Shell 3. I've never been a fan of SPB things, but MS3 has made terrific improvements to its Shell, and now I can't go back to anything else. Hands down the fastest and most convenient Shell out there.
Try it out, and temporarily disable POINTUI Home first beforehand. You will love it!
This ROM, any from the SSK line up, will sadly leave you wanting for more...
More ROMS! Because they are the best with the fewest problems. It will make a huge difference to your phone. You will sit up at night, staring at your computer hoping Scott will put a new one up without warning. Then you will stay up all night downloading and flashing. It will affect your marriage and your job. But you won't care beacuse now your phone will amaze you.
Do it. Do it now. Do not wait. Flash a ROM or build one in a kitchen, you will never regret it.
I wanted to just flash something fast and bug free and be done with flashing (after 6+ months of constant flashing). Happy to say that SSK HD 6.1 did the trick. Great battery life comparted to other HD 6.1's I had tried as well.
SSK Rules
The newest SSK ROM out is awesome. For those of you that don't know whick one, it is SSK 2.1.1. He has WM6.1 and WM6.5 both available with a premade ROM or a kitchen.
IDK if its a problem in the build or just with manala but the weather tab has some issues. when i try to add my town, i go to the state, then try to scroll to the town and all it shows is the first few cities of the a's and when you try to scrool it goes strait to the end of the z's. so it might be better to install just a rom without manila and load that on your own.
So... maybe its just been a long day but does anyone know if sskusers.net not work anymore? It keeps taking me to godaddy. wtf? And I cant seem to find any links that will take me to download the 6.5 Roms... Can anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks.
I saw some posts on ppcgeeks that mentioned that Scott was taking the site offline and would not be doing further development work on his ROMs. I'm on his Touch Pro 6.5, it really works well and I'll stay with this one until I buy a Windows Phone 7 (as long as it has GPS and can run a few select apps I'm using now) at the end of the year.
After spending a huge amount of time trying to get a working android to boot on the athena I am thinking that maybe if enough people are interested in donating we can get some devs interested in helping us.
Initially I would like to get android 2.0 to work, my thinking is to firstly get people to commit to donate to getting android to boot.
The other option is to get enough together to buy a 2nd hand athena to donate to a dev to work on.
Please post here if you wish to donate to the project and how much you are willing to pledge.
Devs: PM me for details of the relevant git etc if you are interested in this.
Donation list:
Avengerpenguin £20
UniversalCitizen £20
Definitely!
Hey I just made another donation - as drewid - and I am excited that you are talking about this and working on it. Thank you!
I saw your twitter post a little while back and was wondering if you had finally got a working build tested after losing your adapter? I am so psyched for Android but I know it will be a while still.
I am going back to the drawing board this evening to test more WM ROMS since my current one and the last 4 before it have not seemed stable. I feel like I am nearing the end of my patience for Windows Mobile at this point, but I like the device. I have to get it stable and with enough features to keep on using it.
If you don't mind me asking, do you still like WM? If you had to recommend a best ROM to use on my 7501 which one would YOU recommend? I just want reasonable speed and good web browsing, stability. I can add SPB Mobile shell again for pizazz since I bought it a while back but it doesn't always seem stable on recent ROMS.
Thank you again for working so hard on this and all your ROMS work! I wish I knew development so I could help out more.

Ive got a new adaptor and feel that I am getting close to compiling a working 2.6.31 kernel for the athena, but am trying to learn linux at the same time, making my progress slow.
Yes I still like windows mobile, its just that with lennie now cooking as well I decided to spend my time trying to get android to work after running on my blackstone. My thinking for me as my athena is a second device that with android I could almost have the equivilent of a dell/archos android tablet without any outlay.
To be honest I havent flashed any new roms to my athena for a while and am still using my last release.
Hopefully there will be plenty of time to help once we get to a working build and there will be a lot of testing etc to do
Just donated to the cause
Hello Avengerpenguin,
Just made a donation from an email address beginning with 'wide' and ending with '.com' would of made it sooner but was waiting for payday.
Lets hope we can get a working version sometime soon or I might have to go crazy and get the HTC Desire when it arrives. (if it's not got the same issues as it's Nexus sibling that is)

Many thanks for the donation, I have had confirmation of the donation and will keep it in the kitty for the android dev, I like you really hope for a working android either by my doing or from someone else, unfortunately work has dictated that my android work in on the back burner for probably another week or so, but will get back to it as soon as I can
I will probably get a htc desire in april when released on orange to use for work, looks like a great device.
I am willing to test!
If you need a tester, I would like to do so.
I have an X7510 which I only use for music, and that even only in imergency if my MP3 playe is out of power!
Hey guys,
since I don't know how well or quickly the Xiaomi community is working, I was wondering when you think we will see the first custom ROMs and Kernels.
Especially an OC Kernel, I could imagine, would improve the experience on this phone alot.
Thanks!
It will take long time cause of accessibility problems. Very long.
Probably never.
Ah surely
Without jokes, there Will be custom developement in mid future?
No. Not before mid 2020
I think currently it's overpriced for sd730g, may be worth for that camera!

You can install any keyboard. I love GBoard, but you can use SwiftKey or whatever you want.
Just search for "Keyboard" in Play Store. If you want something very "raw", look for keyboards in F-Droid.
I spoke with some of the developers of custom roms and no one is interested in developing for this phone.
It really seems like there won't be any custom rom/kernel anytime soon and probably, maybe, never.
We will ahvr to stick to the stock rom.
Anyone interested in starting a reward campaign here?
First fully functioning custom rom gets the cash bounty
I'm putting in $10
Is that a feature? I would defo be willing to throw in some money!

Thanks for your information sir, could i ask why they are not interested in developing for this phone? Personally i think is a pretty interesting hardware
As MoneyFist, I also would donate for a good featured custom ROM ?
I don't understand why there are people saying we will not get custom roms. I think, the main reason for now, is that we have no sources, or I least I can't find them. Once we have sources, devs will be able for, at least, compile something
Sources have been released a while ago. I think once the phone will be widely available in India, we will see devs creating stuff...hopefully.
