This is a copy and paste job, the thread that is most updated can be found at www.SkinZone.org. Please ask questions and do your research before flashing any ROM. This is my first public release as I have been cooking my personal ROM for a while and sharing it with the Gold Members at SkinZone.
Just another option for anyone who wants to give a try. This ROM comes preskinned and we are working on new skins daily. Manila contacts is currently the default contacts application until we get a skin finished for iContact to match the new Manila Contacts application. Sorry if I missed any info, I am off to work. I will answer any questions, but I recomend using the forum at skinzone to keep most updated. I will be adding new builds as it becomes necessary as well as bug fixes and add-on cabs can be found there.

Thanks to everyone, and thanks to whoever posted this wallpaper in Diamond forum. Please come forward and I will add you in the credits.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS FOR GSM ONLY!! If you have no sim card then you are not GSM, sorry. I will not be held responsile for any damages cause to your device. Please read this tutorial on how to flash a ROM if you are not familiar. Also, HardSPL is required. I recommend radio 1.12.25.19, but ROM should work wih any Raphael radio.
New Versions are now available in 2 flavors. One with Rhodium manila working nearly 100% on update 1C and one without manila. Manila and nonmanila versions are basically identical except for manila and a few connecting apps(Weathermaster, new contact card,...). The non manila verson includes iContactBE with Snowball skin(Thanks). I will be including iContact in Manila version for future updates, but I want to make a skin to match Manila contacts first. This ROM is made as a tribute to skinners everywhere and includes skins from many individuals out there. If your skins are included and you are not mentioned here, PM me and I will definitely put it in
Thanks to everyone here for helping out, and thanks to all the cooks at XDA for sharing their information and packages. Gianni86 at XDA for some of his work that is included. And now with the new version special thanks to Holdemdogg at SkinZone for a customized Windows Media Player, and help figuring out how to do the manila files. Voltage for his inspiration and wonderful work at SkinZone.
This ROM is based on HTC build 20771 thanks to At0Mang for the kitchen to get me started. Finally got the connection setup wizard from Rhodium working. I use XBMods version 1C with all fixes cooked in for it. I have been using it for a while and everything is working. Please let me know if you find differently. I used the keyboard from Touch HD which has arrows. This is a personal preference, so if you dont like that one let me know and I can change it for the next release. I am changing things almost daily, but will not make a new build until we have enough changes to constitute a new build. I will post a changelog and bug fixes in the following posts. Hope you enjoy.

Please post any bugs and steps you took to remedy if applicable. I will be maintaining and updating this ROM for a while and am making new builds all the time. Any suggestions are welcome, but just because you suggest something does not mean it will end up in ROM. I am trying to make a fast stable ROM with most of my apps cooked in to make it easy on myself. Just decided to share this version because I thought it was cool.

http://www.skinzone.org/jmckeejr
If you have problems with downloading you may need to disable security on your PC until you get it downloaded and unzipped. Otherwise, let me know if I can help more. RaphaelCustomRUU.exe often shows as a virus and is deleted by security programs. I have also uploaded just the RaphaelCustomRUU so if you happen to lose it, you dont need to redownload the entire package.
UPDATE: 4-26-09 I have been working on a new build using 21042 as a base. It is a hybrid of sorts, using some parts from 20771 and XIP from 21042. PM me if you are interested in testing this build. I will be uploading in the next day or so. Still might have a few bugs to work out, but deffinitely worth a try. All features of current build, plus the newer notification bubbles and some little extras. Will include footprints application with Google plugin, some new shortcuts in start menu. Calender shortcut will take you straight to calendar tab, etc. Battery usage is higher than current build(hard to beat that ). And available RAM is a little lower. I am working on finding a happy medium with available RAM, battery performance, and speed. This is why I will be uploading to my FTP(graciously provided by www.SkinZone.org) a new version. It will be password protected, so if you want to try it you will have to PM or email me. You may also post a request here or at Skinzone and I will PM you with the password.
If you like the ROM and would like to donate you can donate to Skinzone here, or XDA-Developers here. And if you really like it, you can buy my wife something to get her off my back here . Any of these are welcomed, but not necessary. This is a hobby for me, and I enjoy it most of the time. My wife on the other hand does not
Changelog and Bugs
Removed HTC Album from autorotated apps, seems to load much, much faster. Added FingerSuite for message boxes. Removed a lot of stuff, if your missing something let me know if you need a cab. Chrome now skinned with grey selection(except notification manager. I'm at a loss right now). ChromeRefresher with icon to keep grey selection when changing tsk and back to HTCBlack.tsk(may not work on other .tsk but let me know). Icons for manila tweaks. Windows Media player skinned by Holdemdogg at skinzone. Updated to WeatherMaster 2.0. Updated connection setup. Got PTT mod working correct with icons, etc. thanks to NATF for the package and info. Replaced Gyrator with G-config. Lots more....
-If you need PowerPoint, just navigate to \windows\ and send ppt.exe to start menu as shortcut. Still not in because no matching icon yet. EDIT: Have the icon, ready for next edition.
-Attached is a fix for contacts shortcuts in No Manila version. This will only revert registry entry "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Rai\:MSCONTACTS" back to original from --switchtopage Manila://people.page back to original.This was a leftover registry change from the manila build. I am cooking a new no manila build as I type this with the fix cooked in. It will also include new Footprints application with google plugin. Note: This cab is only needed if you downloaded the original Chome No Manila. Not needed for No_Manila_Update.
-Just noticed that Footprints is not showing the text in album, just a blank space, but I am working on it. This would only effect the No_Manila_Update, as this is the only version with Footprints cooked in. I will try to have a fix for next release. EDIT: Quickfix Copy the attatched HTCAlbum.exe.0409.mui to windows overwriting existing. Then soft reset.
If you need further support, you can also PM or email me.
Add-on Cabs
Add-On Cabs
This ROM comes with file explorer extnsion, but just in case you need it here is Total commander.
AMP will add some more functions to the music tab. I will put a link to original thread when I find it. Disable TF3D before installing. Soft reset after install. Enable TF3D. Works fine for me. Adds extra buttons that go to first song of next album, or prev album.
Here are just the graphics for the transparent HTC dialer in black by Mr Hawaii.
looks nice,
gonna flash this baby and let you know
You did a fabulous job on this. Very impressive graphics and icons. If is runs half as good as it looks it will be spectacular.
All in all looks like a great piece of work.
oooo and post 2k
NSIS Error
I got an NSIS error when I tried to open it. I then re-downloaded a ROM that I've downloaded and flashed, (RRE RC2) and it worked fine. Then I tried it again and got the same NSIS error message. It says integrity check failed, or download incomplete, check with author. Any help is appreciated. It looks like a cool ROM. Thank you.

Anybody else having a problem? Is this a problem with downloading? I am able to use the link and download without any problem. Or is this an error after you already downloaded it?

So far, so good, I been runnin the same build for a week now. I have just made some changes here and there. I swapped out some parts with couple different ROMs. Set file cache higher, and a few extra tweaks everywhere. Still a work in progress though. We're workin on some more skins to go with the chrome theme. WMP is almost done, then I want to make grayscale highlights instead of green. All in due time. But this is a good start, I listen to music all day on bluetooth and usually still have 50% at end of day with radio 1.12.25.19 and this ROM(actually a Gold Edition of this). My personal ROM has like 10 more apps cooked in too. I'll probably be hitting you up for help if somethin comes along. You get that connection setup ported yet?
Jmckeejr,
Everything fine working fine here and download went fine too.
However the finger menu are not properly skinned and you can some blue bar lines on up and down arrows. Could you please fix that. Thanks.
Installing fingersuite 1.11 solved the above problem.

I dont get any of that. Did you happen to grab a screen when you had it? I was looking into fingersuite. Is it possible to just use the message enhancements? Guess I could check for myself. Thanks for trying the ROM. Sure you'll be happy with it, I am not having any problems as of yet. There is a litle issue with adding the media players to the whitelist, but I'm looking into it.

Yeh, it downloaded very quickly (40 seconds Touch_Chrome_Public_RC1 RAR File 99,585KB, but when I tried to open it, it didn't go to zip wizard or whatever it's called on my laptop Windows XP I.E 8. It just gave me that NSIS error message, "Installer integrity check has failed. Common causes include include incomplete download and damaged media. Contact the installer's author to obtain a new copy." I'll keep trying. I really wanna flash this ROM! Thanks for your RE:.
I got the file to open late last night using something called jzip. But then my computer told me the Raphael RUU was a trojan and deleted it, and I gave up and flashed Mystic. I'm downloading the mirror you posted, as I type this. Thanks you for your assistance.
Ok, same trojan thing on the RUU, and now getting integrity check fail error message using jzip. Thanks again.
Ok guys. I have downloaded and redownloaded. I get it every time with no issues. Your lucky its less than 100MB(barely) so here is a mirror.
Also, I uploaded some new stuff to the add-ons. Chrome Manila changes all selections everywhere to grey, and you can read the rest in the 2nd or 3rd post.
Here you go
Just wanted to say this runs great.
SPENT 2 DAY WITHOUT A CHARGE AND AT 71% BATTERY! incredible!!!
Only thing not working is the weather database manager. I cant add my town i get this huge error. But hey no issue I have never been able to run it on any ROM!!!!!
Thanks. I am already working on an update that will include some new stuff like finger message box and grey selections in everything to go with chrome theme. Also, removing LongPress End key all together because I do not use it and have psShutXP on long press end key. Having some problems getting rid of green in album. hmmm.. anyway, should be an update in a few days. I'm cooking WeatherMaster in instead of install and hopefully the new edition will help you out. I get my weather working fine with a small town here. Also, if you use sashimi or UC, you should be good to go here. I cooked them both in.
can't wait!!!
I use showco's XWeather so no issue there. Again love it.
hey can you cook in Power point mobile next time? I'm actually one of the few who uses this...
other languages?
hi...

very good work!!!!

Its there, just no shortcut. Not many that use it, so just go to windows and find ppt.exe and send to start menu as shortcut. I will see about including it in future release.

Sorry, at this time only will be available in WWE. There will however be a version with manila and one without for those that use SPB Mobile shell or WAD or any other home screen replacements. I am actually thinking of taking out all external language files to lighten things up more(just a thought). For now though, there are some files in there for other languages at least for the keyboard and stuff.
jmckeejr...
Excellent ROM that I wanted... Thanks.. Free RAM fro Program is 126MB!!!
Battery?? PERFECTO!!.. Thanks..
Love the ROM very much...
Thanks, New versions on the way
Thanks. New versions coming today. Manila and no manila. Some new features like finger message box, chrome refresher, and icons for more programs. Also got hold of the Rhodium connection setup and teeter with 50 levels(instead of 32). Doing some final tests now, then should be up in a little while. We have a great balance of performance:battery, and now lighter as well(more storage). If you like Chrome, your gonna love Chrome2.0. A lot of new custom skinwork, and more. Details in first post when I get to it or at www.skinzone.org (will be there first)

Tips/Updates (by ltxda):
- Save As enhancement. Go to Settings, System, select File Dialog Changer and check "Exchange Standard File Dialog". This changes out the standard Save As window and provides an enhancement where you can choose any folder/subfolder on your device and navigate the structure when trying to save files from any source.
- WkTask enable: it is disabled by default and must be enabled from the start menu and set to start on startup(if prefered). It will place the battery bar on top like in previous bars if the setting is selected. The version is not the latest because the latest causes issues.
- wkTask: Two nice features...of course they are in the manual...to get back to Today screen from any program....click-hold the area where the X typically is and drag left. This takes you right back to the Today screen. To minimize the current app, click-hold the X area and drag down. Very useful little program that has replaced Magic Button for me. Also allows per app control. Thanks Hirad for the recommendation! Also, This resides in the area where the X typically sits to close programs, etc. Start wkTask from Programs, click and hold the "X" area and go into preferences for wkTask. Make sure it's set to autostart by going to Startup tab and clicking the corresponding button. This is a great task manager.
- FingerTouch Keyboard: By default the option is not set to to layout 1. This can be changed via the options or via the bottom left corner button.
- Today Screen: All/default plugs have been deactivated except for htc home. Just go to Settings, Personal, Today and go to the Items tab to reactivate what you want.
- Reminders: I'm annoyed by the constant reminder notifications after the initial notice. To disable this annoyance go to Settings, Personal, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications tab, select Reminders from the drop down and uncheck "Repeat". Not sure if this bothers anyone else but it really annoyed me and I've seen a couple of posts asking how to disable this.
- Vijay555's VJCandela aka Flashlight: It's been reported on other threads that prolonged activation of the flash light LED may cause it to burn out so use at your own risk. I have used it without problems. Comes in very handy. Also great for blinding your enemies before an attack! ;-p
- HTC Home customizer: the version on the forums will mess up the htc home plugin because of the new larger vga images. the addon cabs have the older version that also worked in all dpis.
- TCPMP: starts in portrait and is used in portrait but after closing with X will make the phone go back to landscape.
- Config App: A new config app can now be found in settings under system. This app is made thanx to cmonex and will allow u to do many things. If u any have suggestions including what to add please pm me.
- Touchflo: Touchflo has the scroll sounds enabled by default. this can be disabled via the system tab in settings. settings for touchflo are also found in the new config app.
- VueFlo: the sensitivity for changing orientation can be adjusted in the system tab of settings. orientation changing can be turned on and off via the config app.
- SRS Wow HD: it can be found in the system tab in settings. use this to get surround sound and to improve sound. it is mostly used for the speakers or a headset.
- Large Start Menu: i have moved the settings for the large start menu from personal to system tab in settings. u can enable or disable the large start menu from in there.
- USB to PC: a new usb to pc tool is included. it allows mass storage now and is found under the connections tab in settings.
- Opera browser: easy configuration can be done by typing opera:config into the adress bar. it already has been modded though to allow up to 50 tabs and to have a ie7 user id. a cab in program files/system will make opera have a x7510 user id again.
- Customizations: only sdautorun.exe is ran and if finds the sdconfig.txt on ur sd will execute ur settings and reset. if not will end the customizations and allow you to use the phone. the phone might need to be turned back on.
- skype, weatherpanel, igo, video playback: turn off htc home and if needed install the one in the addons. it has been found htc home causes issues with these because of it being vga size and a resource hog.
- missing icons and same welcomehead in all dpis: these are caused by realvga. tobias needs to update his realvga to fix these issues cause by the new aku1.
- vga album: it can hang sometimes. this could be also associated with htc home. if it does hang just do a soft reset. this is do to the app being vga. newer versions in the future will fix the loading issues.
- enlarge menus: the setting to turn off the enlarged menus is found in the config app. there also is a advanced button to adjust how big u want the menus. if u really want a finger friendly menu, try 1600 but dont go above it.
- apptodate: this is a interesting app we included that will once ran check for new version of the rom and config app.
- wmp in 96dpi portrait: there is a issue with it starting. the work around is to run wmp in any other mode and go to the skin selection and select the proper skin in there then coming back to this mode.(tested by going to 192 dpi and selecting the 192 dpi skin)

Please Note: This is a new aku first so like any other new version of windows mobile, some things might not work for now. Also there is some unreleased and beta stuff in the rom so somethings take a bit longer to load.

yes, it is great that AP4 is coming soon; but if you need to post about pressing F5 or thanking the team, why not post in one of the other threads discussing the same topic.
And when it is released, please try to refrain from posting things like Downloading now or thanks for the great Rom.
If you really want to thank Pawel, ltxda, Boinger66, Olipro and Cmonex, why not click on one of their signatures and donate to the project or them individually.
If you must post about "great rom thanks", "downloading now"
"getting another beer","American Beer is mostly water", Euro Beer tastes like the crap at the bottom of the keg",etc; please post those in the other bull **** threads..
AND if you like the Rom DONATE a few bucks to the AP Team!
Ok, Chris...you can delete this and the other crap posts in this thread!
Thanks for all the hard work AP Team. Hitting F5 and charging my X7501.

THIS ROM IS FOR GSM ONLY!!
Update: 5/12/09. Added new Hybrid builds. I have gotten the Notification Manager to work on 20771 FULLY. This means we have icons in a build lower than 21xxx This also means we lose the option to choose snooze time. It will be same layout as newer builds LSK=Snooze RSK=Dismiss I am trying to find the solution to having snooze options in newer builds, but need help.
The second hybrid is with snooze option but no icons. Both builds are using 20771 SYS(except OS folder) and 21042 XIP. I can post some screens tomorrow hopefully. Just wanted to get it out there to get some feedback. PLEASE NOTE: This is also for testing purposes to see how the ROM performs as a hybrid build. Report back on battery life, speed, etc. IMPORTANT: This ROM comes with TP2 keyboard, which is known to have some bugs. It is possible to use this without too many issues though. Here's a quick guide:
-When entering number fields, the keyboard stays in number mode. You must open opera and just enter the ur field to get QWERTY back. With XT8 enabled, the hardware keyboard is slightly buggy, but working. Everything works except FN. There is a trick to it. You have to hit FN, then DEL(backspace), then FN and your good to go for a while. I have included shortcuts in tweaks for enable/disable XT9. Please refrain from posting keyboard bugs, but if you really like the ROM and need another Keyboard I can put one in later.
Download: Snooze version has no icon, but Right soft key menu. Icons version has icons but no menu for snooze. I will add more info tomorrow, but I got to get to bed. The upload should be done soon.
UPDATE: 5/5/09. Added RC2 with font fix as well as added some applications.
Additional Apps in RC2 and 20771 Hybrid TEST builds
-Facebook v.16...................-Netflix(will be cab next time round)
-cleanRAM..........................-Total Commander
-Google Translator...............-Chess
Note for RC2, I may have left the shortcuts from my personal build in programs tab. Just remove them and replace wth your programs.
Note for TEST build: See post 4 for more details.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
You will find the ROM is already tweaked, fixed, setup and whatever. No need to go adding unneeded tweaks and fixes to it. Please use the ROM for a while before ading any software or additional fixes. You may just find that the things you usually do with another ROM is not necessary here. I have increased cache sizes, applied almost every tweak that will improve performance and battery, and cooked in a variety of programs. As this is an RC1 release, please leave feedback so that we can make it better.
You will find that this build does use a bit more RAM than previous Chrome ROMs. The pagepool is set higher to get the most from the device. It is not locked, and can easily be changed.

Select your poison. ROMs should be named accordingly. I will not direct link here, this gives you the chance to see other ROMs as well as daily builds when available. I will also start to upload add-ons to skinzone for easy access.
EDIT: Temporary Mirror for No Manila build
I noticed a lot of downloads in previous version, but only posts from 3-4 people. If you like the ROM, let me know so I can continue to make more. It is kind of rude to download someone's hard work and not even give a thank you. If you have a problem with anything, I am always willing to help get things straightened out. That said, ENJOY the ROM.
If you like my hard work and would like to donate you can donate to Skinzone here, or XDA-Developers here. And if you really like it, you can buy my wife something to get her off my back here . Any of these are welcomed, but not necessary. This is a hobby for me, and I enjoy it most of the time. My wife on the other hand does not
Bugs and Changelog
rc1
-Calendar text does not show double digits. This is due to the last minute addition of Helvetica 55 font. This was to fix the odd font change in USB to PC popup. I will look into the registry for a better fix, but for now the attatchd cab will replace the new font with Tahoma renamed to overwrite it. Best to disable TF3D(though not sure if it will matter) and make sure to soft reset after installing.
HYBRID CHANGELOG:
-Build is based on 20771
-Using XIP from 21042, some OS files from 21042, shell32.exe from 21042
-Added shortcut in utilities for SSMaHo used for mapping TF3D to different programs.
-Added TP2 Keyboard. This has a few known bugs, but is usable. If you like the hybrid builds and want a different keyboard, let me know. This is for anyone that likes the TP2 keyboard, but doesn't want 2 SIP menus popping up. XT9 is disabled by default for hardware kb to work fully. I included shortcuts in tweaks to enable/disable XT9. With XT9 enabled, there is a trick to getting FN keys working. You have to press FN then backspace. After that, you can use FN keys without issue. If you enter a number field and can not change back to QWERTY just open Opera and enter the url field. Somehow Opera knows how to fix this.
-Updated Facebook to newest official release, Added latest release of Skyfire Browser, Added Chess game.
-PagePool set to 20MB
-New taskbar from BilboBrian changed a bit by me. Includes black folder icons, and new settings icons.
-As stated before, Notifications working fully w/Icons in Icons build. There are no icons in second build, but you do have choice of snooze times.
-Builds are basically identical except for the notification part
-These are beta builds, so may find bugs. Please report any bugs(not keyboard or Manila bugs) ASAP. It was hardfor me to tell any difference in speed/battery, so please report back on that as well.
Add-ons and Cabs
Recommended Add-Ons:
-TF3D AMP adds functionality to music tab in TF3D. This is still in development, but looks very promising. Definitely a possible cook-in when it is ready.
-Skins-Find a number of skins at www.skinzone.org. If anyone would like to reccomend a good TF3D theme, I am on the prowl for something to flow good in the Chrome ROM. I like to have a theme cooked in because it should keep from common slowdowns that come with added themes. I would like to keep my Wallpaper though, so would have to go well with that.
-Attached a new envelope for email preview. Thanks to Voltage at skinzone for the original image. I just made some changes and made it work in TF3D.
20771/21042 Mash-up ROM (Hybrid wannabe)
Ok, so for a while now I have been searching, reading, asking, etc. how can we get those nice notifications from Topaz/Rhodium on builds lower than 21xxxx. From everything I found, it was believed that you can not have the new notifications on older builds. I got a step closer here. Still dont have the nice icons on top of some of the notifications, but I am happy to have the bigger bubbles. There is an added benefit here as well, we can have the orginal left/right softkey setup which allows us to choose a snooze time I ended up swapping out some parts between kitchens and doing some blind tests to come up with this. The ROM seems to be even faster, but as stated it is a test build and could have bugs I haven't found yet. Feel free to test with me, and help get this working fully, or at least make sure it is stable.
The reason I was so interested: I got the BEST battery life and GPS, etc from the 20771 build. For example, I can listen to music through bluetooth all day at work and still have around 50-70% battery at the end of day. But with 21042 I only have about 20%. I use the 1.12.25.19 radio, and so have matching rilphone.dll in my ROMs. I also have cooked in some extra GPS registry entries, as well as enabled aGPS by default.
This ROM is just like screens above with a few added applications(listed in post1). Attatched are some screens of the working notifications.
First of all let me say thank you for cooking this ROM. Initial assessment of it is excellent for a 6.1 rom. It fast and everything seems to work pretty will. Graphics is excellent.
the onlly issue I have is the scrolling from within outlook. it either scrolls a full speed or its struggles so to scroll it opens the email your thumb is at instead of scrolling. Scrolling in File explorer is excellent and this is what the scroll should be like inside of outlook.
overall I would give this ROM a 9.95 out of 10! Good job!

Is this straight from boot? I mean were there any applications/themes installed, or any changes through settings>screen>text size or advanced config? It will help me in troubleshooting because I do not have this on any of the ROMs. I am using this same build, but with more programs cooked in(Resco Explorer, Resco Radio, CorePlayer, Pocket Artist, Pocket Player, etc.). I used the public build for about a week to test and tweak, but never came across this problem. Someone did have a font issue in the 20771 build, but we had chalked it up to 3rd party add-ons.
Anyway, if you can give me more info, hopefully I can recreate this on my own device and get you straightened out. Iwould suspect an extra font or something. Maybe one of the registry entries for font links, but I thought that manila used its own font system(fonts are actually *_manila files).
the only app that i did install was S2U2... i dont believe this should have any bearing on the font or text size. tho..
This is very interesting. I tried installing S2U2(1.62) and have no problems. Even installed a theme. Possibly you need to hard reset if you did not hard reset after flash. Or you might want to hard reset to see if that fixes your problem. Like I said, I have been using this ROM for a while, and can not recreate this issue. If your up to it, do a hard reset and let me know if you still have the larger fonts(which is what would cause the # not to show). I did remove Courier font, because it kept taking over the USB to PC popup. I fixed the issue(a missing fontlink) and here is the file if you want to try copying it to your windows folder. I dont think this will resolve your issue, but is worth a try if you dont want to do the hard reset(although now I'm curious and would like to make sure it is not like that from boot).
Here is my calendar tab as well, for reference.
that is strange... I did a hard reset and a fresh install with the same results... i will try the courer file you posted...
and tried the courier file... to no avail...
So your saying that even before installing anything you have the font issue? By fresh install, do you mean you tried to hard reset and flash again?
I will reflash my device later to check it out. Maybe anyone else using the ROM can give us some feedback to see if this is an isolated issue, or if it is in the ROM. 50+ downloads today, someone has to be using it. And unless your the only one noticing it, you would think someone would post something...
I cant do a flash right now with my battery at 48%, but will definitely do it later and let you know.
yes I have installed nothing when I hard reset and also when I did a fresh install.. Hopefully someone else can confirm...
OK, fix for you in second post. I added a new font to fix a bug that sometimes the USB to PC popup would show Courier font because it called for Helvetica LT 55 Roman.ttf. Thanks for help in finding this. I will cook an update soon. Any suggestions for the next release as far as apps? And a TF3D theme that would go good with Chrome series?
Just installed the rom and it looks awesome. I'll test it all day tomorrow and come back with some feedback. I don't know if you can change this for your next release but in footprints "Favourite" is misspelled.
I guess that the spelling would depend on where you live. European english is spelled correctly, for U.S., we use different spellings(don't know why). The program originates from Europe, so thats what we get. Just be sure to grab the font fix until Iget an update. Will wait for a little more feedback to make sure things are more final.
jmckeejr,
I was opening your 20771 ROM thread this morning but didn't see this one until now.
Looking forward to download this and make the try.
I love your 20771 RC2 ROM very much. Fast and reliable. Running 4 days/night without a single reset. And the ROM running faster than after soft reset.. Amazing. What I do is intalling cleanRAM and let the cleanRAM schedule the cleaning every night when I sleep.
I will try tonight (morning your time) and will report to you if any bug found.
Thanks again..
umm this look interesting.. downloading to try it tomorrow.
thanks for your job
[ROM][WWE]Chrome ROMs & User Submitted |User-to-User Guide| Sense 2.1,2.5 or Titanium
UPDATE: 2-19-10
Newer User submitted ROMs now available. Thanks to madnish30 for updating some items and working hard to update the ROM. Here is a link to his sense 2.1 post, which hopefully he will keep updated. And here is his Sense 2.5 version. I think I will let this thread go to user submitted ROMs for now. Then you can get the Chrome ROM feel but in different flavors. Remember to keep kitchen questions to the kitchen thread. Good luck guys, and God bless. I may return at some point, but I just dont have the motivation right now and am spending all my time trying to salvage my marriage.
Check post 2 for links to User Submitted ROMs, but always read the thread to find the latest updates.
UPDATE: 1-11-10
I didnt make a lot of changes in the ROM, most changes are on my end with the kitchen. It is a newer build which has a new feature, Threaded email. I havent used it personally, but hear good things.
Chrome 23518 Titanium
Chrome 23518 Sense 2.1
Chrome 23518 Sense 2.5
Change log from previous ROMs located in posts below. Make sure to have a look to see what has changed since 21232.
THIS IS FOR GSM MODELS ONLY
Before I give you the rundown, just gotta say thanks to everyone here and at SkinZone.org for making this possible. Special thanks to hilaireg, Da_G, At0mang, NATF, NRG, Holdemdogg, Volt, bilbobrian, Giannis86, all various developers, and everyone I missed.
I will not be held responsible for any Damage in any form for any cause

Please check the version you downloaded. My FTP has been having issues. I am workin on it. You can always visit the link below and Download the correct version. This is the best way, as you know what you are getting.
Download older versions here.
LEAVE FEEDBACK so I can perfect this.
Also, Please note: My ROMs do not include a custom splash screen. There are 2 available to match the ROM available apon request.
Now the lowdown:
See post 2 for full list of Packages\Apps (OLD). Following is a list of Chrome custom addons:
-Added shortcut for switching between HTC Dialer and MS one.
-Added custom program and folder icons to nearly every program. Added "My Apps" folder for your installed programs and more organization. I like to keep the start menu clean and beautiful.
-Included a custom taskbar by bilbobrian and modified by me to be a bit lighter
-UPX Compressed most of the exe files to save space and speed up loading times
STATS:
290MB of 320MB Free Storage after customization(can anyone provide this? I have a lot installed through UC, so my numbers are way off)
120MB of 193MBFree RAM at first boot
This ROM comes equipped with a lot of extras and is by no means a "Light" ROM. It is quite fast, and still has plenty of space for anything you want to add(if there is anything to add ) I might consider a light ROM later, but for now I wanted to have a Cadillac of ROMs. Everything is included if I need it, if not, it wont hurt anything. I have included several Titanium plugins for people using Titanium instead of TF3D (Certain versions). I might also make a TF3D version which would remove Titanium for us manila users to have more free storage.
Suggestions are welcomed, but not necessary meaning it will be included/excluded.

Bugs and Fixes(This ROM is a work in progress. Rome wasn't built in a day)
-Some updated system files for build 23053. Missed these before build went online. This will make taskbar dropdown list work. I never used it during testing, so missed it Just overwrite the files in Windows folder.
Addons for Chrome 6.5
- Manila TV for GenY Manila 2.1
-The newest version of MyPhone is attatched here
-Prefer Manila's SMS interface? SMS tab is set to open MS threaded messaging by default in this ROM. Install the attatched cab to revert.
-To make SIP menu work fully install PatchedBiotouch.dll. Note that this may cause some scrolling issues, but none that I notice personally.
-If you prefer "Home" hardware button to go home instead of opening start menu, install Chrome Keypad_Old_Home.cab. Also attatched a cab ro make Home open start menu(revert)
-If you prefer the old fuzzy circle in start menu, here it is. Extract and copy into windows folder, overwriting the original.

[B]UPDATE 12-4-09[/B]
Here is a variety of ROMs to fit all your needs :D
First there are COM2 ROMs from build 21882. These have older UI style(which is what the now official 6.5 uses)
Not so many changes here, just an update. I did however change some files to modules to have them load from virtual memory rather than RAM, and compressed many image files(for space and faster loading)
Next is the COM8 builds(with lage bottom bar and start menu on bottom left)
There are some small changes across all builds mostly with dialers:
Manila 2.5 build uses newly ported LEO dialer which works hand in hand with manila 2.5. There is a small graphic glitch in this dialer noticable when keypad is shown(in SIP menu area)
Manila 2.1 and Titanium use Rhodium dialer, which should work better with Manila 2.1 and Titanium.
I have updated some applications in the 28008 builds including CleanRAM, BING(a new beta)
The titanium build also uses new Opera 10 beta2.
Sure there are more changes, but none I can recall off hand :p

UPDATE: 11-13-09
(from my original post)
All ROMs are uploading and I am spent. No more updates for a while. It was very difficult to pull all of it together because my kitchen has now tripled in size and it takes at least 330 minutes just to scroll through and make all the right selections. Then flash each one, test a bit, reflash, test, etc. I wont be around for a while, but dont let that stoip you from donating :p

There are a lot of changes, but each ROM has its own qualities and changes. M2.5 of course has updated Manila 2.5 files and LEO packages that correspond to it. All HTC software upgraded to latest 1920 versions from LEO with exception of NewContactCard which is still 1919 build. Removed extra Titanium plugins(if your not using Manila I recomend another ROM anyway)
M2.1 has some minor changes, mostly theme from previous COM5 build. Re-Compressed all images for space
Titanium has all Manila items and dependencies removed. Slightly different MenuEnhancements because latest ones wont work without Manila enabled. They are yet untested.

-Basically ALL new icons for programs and settings(in high quality format). Let me know which you like and which you might like to see different.
-Faster customization(only has 1 cab and maybe 2-3 other settings that need to run)
-Removed ReStart
-Removed WiFi Monster
-Added music ID software(account may be required for some services)
-Removed Manila TV to repair menu in Calendar tab(was not working previously, strange that Manila TV breaks it but it does)
-Lots more...
UPDATE: 8-15-09
-Build 23028
-M$ added some new skinnable parts
-I added some graphics
-New icons
-As a workaround for volume issue I have added SetVolume found in System folder. If you run the shortcut volume buttons will work as volume buttons again until soft reset. They do not open HTC Volume control but SetVolume which is skinned like HTC Volume control
-MORE
UPDATE: 8-11-09
-Build 23025
-New build has large toolbar on bottom which causes some lost screen space in TF3D and other programs :(
-YouTube sound working again
-Manila 2.1
-Some issues with programs that call on Pocket Outlook :(
-This build is simply for those that want to see what direction M$ is going with 6.5.1. It is usable, but expect some incompatabilities with certain software. Some programs will require using back button to exit since they moved X button to bottom bar and some software does not support this.
-Expect more scrollbars where you didnt have them before because of the enlarged Toolbar.
-Volume hardware buttons are not working correctly at this time :( Seems they open the new Taskbar helper instead(can also access by touching clock).
-New magnifier is disabled by default, find a script in Settings>Admin Tools to change it.
-Expect the current images on softkey buttons to change eventually as I will hopefully be skinning that. For now it uses the default images from Classic Blue.tsk
-lots more I'm sure ;)

Changelog:
-Manila 2.1

-more I cant remember right now
UPDATE: Added build 21921
Changelog:
-New build: 21921
-Added Manila TV page and found some pretty decent streams. If you run across a great one let me know. Might try adding Radio too.
-Battery icon issue seems to be fixed.
-Still using gwes.exe from 23001 for icon issues.

With use of UC or other restore programs you can now flash, walk away, and return later to see device is fully set up. Note that it takes a minute for customization to start because usually it loads while you are aligning screen. To do screen adjustments later, go to Settings>screen>align
-Opera build 16983(Compressed)
-LOTS more. Check posts later in the thread.

Looks pretty good. After you get a few nibbles and I hear good things I'll give it a shot.
This is great, Love the work you put into this, the new builds (21232 V2 DA-G's) are much smoother and would be perfect with your build. Thanks

I can say one bad thing right now. Not too bad, the audiomanager found in multimedia has the slider misplaced. I had it working before, but I think I must have changed something because it either gets messed up from MP3 Trimmer or the fix would be having AudioManager with everything in place and MP3 Trimmer with some things mixed up. Working on it right now. Other than that, we'll have to see. I'd like to have both, but might have to remove one or the other. The audiomanager has an MP3 Trimmer built in, which is part of the problem. Being that it is a beta build, I am not too worried about it. I'll get it fixed up soon.
EDIT: I have an odd fix for it right now, but I'm gonna narrow it down and make it easy for ya
EDIT2: Duh, the problem was on my end in a plugin I had installed during sashimi. No wonder it worked before, I added the problem myself later. So, please report any real bugs not related to addons.
I noticed you didn't mention the keyboard...
The mapping in the 20771 didn't work out for me... I messed around with it for a while and didn't end up fixing it... I ended up having to flash 2 or 3 times... (Finally back to stock, and then on to something else.) to get it to work right again... Except for that..I really enjoyed the rom...
Damn... it sure does look sexy...

This has just stock input method. No TP2. Don't need more to worry about.
Thats strange about the 20771 mapping. It was working fine for me in a few builds. Only time it was off was if I had enabled XT9, but still wasn't too bad. Maybe you have touch pro instead of Fuze? And you are talking about one of the hybrid builds right? Maybe I'll go back and make one with the standard keybooard.
If anyone having trouble downloading, I am having problems getting onto skinzone for some reason, so I don't know what is up. Let me know if its working right.

Bugs and Fixes
I found this after installing Audiomanager Titanium plugin. I think it is due to that, but thought I would post it here. Appears the plugin installer includes an AudioManager.exe file which was different than the one I cooked in. So, this most likely will not be needed.
An odd bug due to the adition of a standalone AudioManager and MP3 Trimmer. The graphics are a butSince it is an odd bug, here is an odd fix. You need to install the attatched Glossy_VGA_AudioManager cab, soft rest, then uninstall the cab. I have no idea why this would fix anything, but it does work. In process of looking furher into this. Make sure to install to device of course.

I've been trying & requesting an .exe or version of Audio Manager that will work outside of TF3D/TF3D2 for a while now. I don't like WMPlayer and I use CorePlayer for my .avi but it sucks as a finger frienldy music player. This also comes in handy when using SPB-MS3.
A custom "Programs" folder under the "Start Menu" would be nice to control clutter and add organization for installed programs.
Haven't flashed yet cuz I'm still luv'n your 6.1 Chrome w/Notification.
Thanks again
Nice looking and fast ROM! Thank you!
Couple of things I found:
- Launching Internet Explorer gives error message "The file :MSPIE cannot be opened...." and the phone freezes.
- Opera shows only blank page.
Looks great, unfortunately launching AS gives an error message about "MSSYNCAPP" file not being signed and incomplete and it freezes. Also, just found out that when receiving and incoming call the S2A does not work.

Yes, there is some sort of bug with all of the "short"
shortcuts seem to have something wrong. All of the registry entries are intact and the actual exe files open fine, so I'm looking into this tonight hopefully. As a temporary workaround, you could change the properties of the shortcut to point to the actual exe file. For Internet Explorer simply change from :MSPIE to
Code:
"\windows\iexplore.exe"
Leaving the part following the command from the "?" will ensure you can keep the same icon.
About the Opera, not quite sure what you mean by "shows only blank page". I mean it is literally blank page? Is the Opera skin there? Or does the page start to load and then stops. I have experienced the last before, but I think it is something in Opera or poor connection as a simple reload of the page will then show the page. If you are having trouble with connections, try the enable/disable proxy shortcuts in "Tweaks\Proxy\" folder.

Your problem is also related to the problem noted above. I will have a fix hopefully tonight.
As for the S2A, it is and has been working fine for me. Make sure you didn't use the PhoneSkin shortcut in phone folder. This is meant to toggle between the S2A dialer and the default MS one. This due to HTC/MS bug in dialer scrolling. Some people prefer MS dialer, so I made a simple script to switch on the fly. I have an updated script with more options which I will include in the fix for shortcuts. Try switchiong back and forth to make sure you have S2A enabled.

Hi jmckeejr, liking the ROM so far but I am also having the problem with the shortcuts for items such as activsync and IE. How do I change the shortcuts so this can give me access to them. Thanks. Also, any way to get the g-sensor to work when viewing pictures?

Just finished up a fix. See cab attatched to post 3. As for the G-Sensor thing, why not just use the included G-Config app? It will add the appropriate registry settings for any app you want to auto-rotate. I have disabled it by default in AudioManager because it takes twice as long to load with it enabled. Go ahead and enale it and see what I'm talking about.
Found the g-sensor right before I read your post. Thx.. Also, seems like the cab fix worked. The ROM is real nice as far as I can tell and I've been testing now for over a couple of hours. One other small bug. I've gotta keep putting back my screen brightness as it keeps putting it back to the stock settings after ever soft reset and randomly every so often but other than that, I like it!
UPDATE: I think I found out how to get the screen to stop adjusting. Was in the startup. Any way to get IE6 to play the flash videos on sites such as youtube. Or even do this in opera..? Thanks.

Ok, this ROM comes equipped with Lumos(click there). You need to go through Lumos setup under tweaks folder if you want to change the settings. I have preset it to save battery. You will notice that when you are in a dark area, the screen may be dimmer, and when in bright area the screen will be brighter.
Opera should have flash support built in(with addition of FlashLite3.1), but Youtube requires Flash 10, which is not supported by Opera. You can view videos on certain sites, but not ones that require Flash 9 or 10. You can use Skyfire for these sites I thought I had included Flash3.1, but for some reason it was missed. I'll work on it for RC1.
About the IE, I wouldn't know, as I have never really used it. I prefer Opera. If you go to www.m.youtube.com you can view the mobile version of youtube. It will play videos through streaming media player. You could also use the Youtube app which would be your best bet..
This rom is very nice the only issue i can find after using it for a full day is the shortcuts the only one thats annoying for me is the one for windows media player when selected i get a error amd the device freezes ...and when switching themes in the 6.5 home screen it hangs for a while ...but over all i like the way u put it together keep up the good work ...im lookin for some one to make me a a vey custum tmobile rom for my fuze

The start menu shortcuts are handled different in 6.5. Stil catching up with all the changes. I'll add that to the fix in post 3 tonight. Thanks
|RAPH|6.5|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM 3.0 'Phoenix' (21731) ★ || Build date 2009/6/5 ||
Welcome to my ROM thread!
This ROM is the "3.0" series of my ROM line, and it's designed to have the latest and greatest applications and improvements.
Because of this it may not always be as stable or bugfree, as a stock ROM. However, I can assure you, it's much... MUCH faster than any stock ROM on your device. I build my ROMs for speed, therefore this is a "performance" ROM. Battery life is not important here
The ROM is being continuously developed and bug fixed and there's almost daily releases. I've decided to name each release by the date when it was released. For example, 50109 would have been released on May 1st, 2009. I should also mention it's UC compatible and more info about that can be found here.
This ROM is currently based on the 21728 Windows Mobile 6.5 OS core, along with all the new goodies from the newly announced Topaz and Tachi devices.
It's got the new new Manila interface, new HTC enhanced finger menus, new notifications system, album, FM radio and MP3 trimmer, connection setup etc.
Starting with the 51809 release, the ROM was recreated from scratch. The result is much, much lower RAM usage and general snappiness and speed were vastly improved. Therefore I decided to rename the ROM "Phoenix" as it was 'reborn' just like the mythical bird
If you own a Touch PRO, use the "Keyboard Selector" application under Utillities (after you flash the ROM) to select the proper keyboard layout to use. The ROM comes with the Fuze layout by default.
What you will find in the downloads directories:
"Standard" includes the new TF3D2 (Rhodium Manila) along with the standard Windows Mobile 6.5 today plugin(Tianium)
"Titanium" only includes the Titanium today plugin. No Manila in this version.
"OldManila" includes the older TF3D Manila (as see on a stock ROM), plus Titanium.
"Plain" is a build without manila or titanium.

Video preview of the ROM here > YouTube Video
Pics coming soon.
Known bugs
The lock screen interferes with the HTC Dialer application. It's best not to use it for now. If you have to, you will have to deal with weird behaviour from the dialer!
If you want to use the microsoft dialer instead, open up Advanced Config under Tweaks (in the Start Menu) and disable the phone skin (first item in the Phone section). Reboot...
Goodies
- If you want to go back to the 3 row Start Menu download the attached cab.
- If you want the original slider as seen here >
- If anybody wants a high resolution wallpaper for Manila for THIS ROM, download the cab below. THis will set your "default wallpaper" as the current background in Manila but.. you'll see it on ALL tabs
Make sure to disable the wallpaper in settings after you install the cab, and let it set the "default wallpaper" to get the full effect.
- If you want to use the great white folders that geok made for this ROM... Download and install the attached cab
JUST A REMINDER: this is a GSM only ROM. ROM for CDMA version found HERE. OR YOU CAN TRY YOUR LUCK HERE. READ BOTTOM OF POST (coming from the chef himself)If you just got your FUZE and this is your first time using a custom ROM you may need to START READING HERE FIRST before you proceed.
======================================
For everyone: words of thought from the experts!
"A general rule if you don't see your unique problem mentioned anywhere in this thread, chances are you're the only one with the problem and YOU did something to cause it.
The random hard reset problems have been around for a while. I've never experienced them myself, but I bet it has something to do corrupted blocks in your internal flash chip. I recommend searching the forum for raphdiag.nbh and using it to format your flash storage.. then install the ROM again" NRGZ28
======================================
"Please remember folks that there are a lot of variables here and the ROM is just one of them. You may have any number of the following issues
1) a bad flash
2) an incompatibility issue
3) a settings problem
4) a large RF source in your pants
If several people all determine that they have done XYZ and have problem ABC it may be that NGR can do something about it. Until such time, you have some troubleshooting to do. Namely;
1) Flash the stock ROM and spend a few days noting the behavior as you add your software
2) Flash an NRG ROM and use it a few days without adding software
3) start adding software until the problem occurs." ..BigBadger
MORE BATTERY SAVING TIPS FROM BigBadger
• There is nothing special about this ROM to make it use more power than other ROMs except that it is tweaked for performance over battery life.
• Make sure you follow all of the flashing instructions to the letter. Especially the part about hard reset.
• Backlight is set to high. You might want to change that.
• 3G is on by default. Recommendation is to turn it off when you are not surfing the internet.
• If your radio does not match your rilphone.dll you can get crazy bad battery drainage. Make sure they match. There is a separate thread for that.
• Check to see that some application is not still running in the background. Check, do not assume.
• Check to see if the screen is still on when you expect it to be off. Soft reset can fix that issue.
• Some radios work better with some carriers and locations. Asking everyone to tell you what radio to use may not give you the best answer. Be specific about your situation.
• The battery meter will not settle down and give accurate readings for a few battery cycles.
• For the first few battery charging cycles, try to charge with phone off and then allow battery to get down as low as possible before recharging.
• The GPS sucks the battery dry. If you want to keep track of yourself, consider something like GPSToday that only wakes up the GPS once in a while.

Change all the values to 1024000 or 1228800 that way you can send 1mb or 1.2mb files over MMS.
Then Change;
HLKM/Software/ArcSoft/Arcsoft MMS UA/Config/mm1/ UI/size Limit
Then set the SendDefault and/or RecvDefault to a value of your choosing. I set all mine to 1228800.

by: warri Youtube Bug work Around: Okay I Found a Small Work Around. It appears ONLY the HTC Youtube application is bugged. you can install the "Official" Youtube application found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=495327 and it works. (it auto updates when you run it as well) (going to make sure the auto-updated one runs as well)
Youtube bug solved/background change When Changing Wallpaper, Take the jpg that you want your manila background to be, and rename it homebackground.img then drop it into your windows folder overwrite the existing one. Reset Tf3d. DONE. Youtube Still Works. DO NOT use the wallpaper button on the settings tab, or you will not beable to use the HTC Youtube App.
RED Screen When picking Photos If you are having an issue with Red Screen During Choosing Contacts, or Wallpaper pictures please download THIS FILE . Disable TF3D move the htcphotopicker.exe to your windows directory, restard TF3D. Done.
9. by: gjakovic Hi EnergyROM lovers, You know the problem on people tab where for contacts with multiple numbers manila will call only the default one!? Well now it is fixed I ported the code from Topaz and recompiled the embedded LUAs in manila files that caused the problem. Enjoy! Although this is a Manila problem I have decided to post my fix here to contribute to great ROM and bring it closer to perfection.
P.S. Since this is a new port please report back if you find any issues.
Instruction for noobs: Stop the manila: Start->settings->today->tab Items-> uncheck TouchFLO 3D, use Total commander to replace the files in Windows directory with the ones in attachment. If having trouble, edit the propreties of the original file and uncheck the option read only. Enable manila again.

FAQ'S:
1. by:NRGZ28 Seems that Captain Throwback found the problem with the All_People crash! I omitted the httpclient.dll file from my rom and that's what's causing the All People page to crash. Here's a cab for the fix, until I can release a fixed ROM
2. Again hope I dont get flamed but I cannot seem to get picture rotation and thought it was working in 51809
goofeyass: hergs HTC Album 2.5 cab works great, pictures rotate and seem clearer. You can install this cab over this awesome Rom.http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ynjlvtjawvc
3. It's a great ROM, but can anyone tell me how to active the Titanium view?
at10ti0n: start -> settings -> today -> Items tab -> check "windows default", uncheck TouchFLo 3d
4. I downsized my start menu, and now it looks great and is even more user friendly. Now if I can just get File Explorer on the start menu with a better looking icon...
at10ti0n: Another thing you may want to look for it the "re/Start" program. it is floating int the forum somewhere. I cleaned up my menu and it helps to re-prioritize the items in the main window. I only wish I could change the sub/sub folders. HERE
5. I'm absolutely hating new TF3D scrolling currently. The icons when u scroll, are just too low, its too near your thumb. Is there a way, perhaps a manilla file replacement, that can put it back up a lil higher, as it was in the OLD TF3D? Shep was able to do it, but shep doesnt really reply questions : / also if it helps, showaco's all tabs pictures cab, does solve it, making it higher. however, scrolling TF3D with showaco installed in landscaped is screwed, being off centre to the right any solutions?
gjakovic: TRY THIS
6. can you possible make another manila file that is the lower position but clear in all tabs . as in transluscent no matter what tab your on , for the past few builds it seems that its only clear on the home tab for me. THANKS !
gjakovic: TRY THIS
7. Can I return the start menu icons to three in a row?How?And could you return the phone.exe icon in start menu?
NRGZ28: HERE
8. I´m not sure, but I hear the ringtones and the alarm more quiet than older realeases (of course with volume at maximum), anyone notice this too?
bauerpavel: ...full is like superloud a.Audio_Full_Boost.cab b.Audio_Lighter_Boost.cab
9. Is there a cab floating around for a "Fave People" entry on the 6.5 Start screen?
BigBadger: Look here: 6.5 PLUGINS!
10. Its official BB connect doesnt work on WM6.5. Have tried now on several ROMS including this one. Its no go, both 21232/21234 Builds. If anyone has a workaround this please let me know. Or if anyone has got BBConnect to work on WM 6.5 please post
HappyHammer: A quick search would reveal there is an easy solution to this. Either edit the registry as described in this thread or search for Taiseer's cab. I have BBConnect .106 working fine on EnergyROM 52209
11. Is there an issue with SocialNetworking (upload to facebook) from Album? It isn't built into this ROM and I was curious...
kwill: heres a cab to put the album with facebook upload back in and the account manager in settings. i use it and it works fine. i really havent noticed what the album 3.0 does for rhodium manila. i actually dont use tf3d2 enough to notice. HTC Album + SocialNetworksEngine.cab
12. MORE QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY THE CHEF HIMSELF!
13. Can't Sent Text Messages! When composing a new text message the address to: turns to a number 1 after I hit send, and will not send to the person. So instead of either a phone number or John Doe I just have a number 1.
Should be: Looks like:
John Doe 8:30AM 2kb 1 8:30AM 2kb
Hey whats up yo? Hey whats up yo?
Strangely, if John Doe texts me first, I can reply to those messages just fine. Its ONLY new messages that wont work. Also, im not getting a text message can't be sent message, it seems like instead of sending it to 3305551234 its sending it to 1.
Tomik1: Try this registry setting: HKLM\System\Inbox\RecipientAutocomplete\MaxSuggest ions=0
14. I didnt see any answer to this and was wondering if anyone has any solutions. If i am on a call, and someone calls me, i get no notification until it is missed. When missed, It beeps telling me that i missed a call. I noticed this on the last 3 builds (52009. 53109, and 60109). Any clues?
outphase: Fixed! Change registry key /HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/CallWaiting/Sound to CallWait.wav

you are much more lucky than i am, i cannot download any data via this link
What exactly is the PagePool_Changer.exe used for in the roms folder?
Also in your manilla theme the stocks icon pops up on the slider when it passes over the stocks item, this has been a issue in all the 2.x-3.x roms that have used your custom theme.
The only reason why I am point this out is because it doesnt fit in with the rest of your theme and someone else might perceve it as a "glitch".
Other than that I have not stumbled upon any other problems, its great rom like alwase
damn, just finished installing 51909... whats the fixes for this version? the all people button working?
Can you please post changelog (when you get time)? Thanks
is there a change log? do I need to re flash from the previous version?

just letting you know that you have linked the wrong directory. you need to add the raphael folder.

Old Manila
Dear NRG
Is the Old Manila extracted from the latest 5.0 WWE ROMS or is it older??.
perfect work
Some people are never satisfied!!!
He does not post the ROM they complain.
They complain and BEG complain and BEG for the ROM, so he post the ROM early they complain of small bug on a Overall smoking build
He fix the bug, Post a new thread to keep the crap out of it, still they complain and re-adds the crap; then complain of needing change log ( HE SAID HE WOULD POST A NEW THREAD TO RELEASE THE ROM WITH THE FIX INCLUDED IN THE LAST THREAD) what more change log is needed?
NRGZ; Thanks for the continued efforts BRO!
Thanks! Just made my jump to 6.5 and this is fast!
One thing I've noticed is that Internet Explorer doesn't work? Can't connect to any sites. Opera works fine.
Thanks.

Awesome ROM! Thanks!
Welcome to the "EnergyROM" thread !
This development thread is for my "Energy" custom firmware series for the HTC Diamond2 (Topaz) device.
The current build numbers and date can be seen in the title of this thread. I usually update the ROMs about twice a week, as new builds come down the pipe or as new software/updates are available.
I build my ROMs with four main goals.
Eye candy ( I want my ROM to look great and for it to all flow together nicely)
Speed !!!
Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics
Stability through private beta testing before public release
I pre-configure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go. So, expect the backlight to be set at the maximum brightness, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set. Doing it this way, makes for a nice ROM that's ready out of the box.
I recommend learning to backup your settings with either Sashimi or UC (User Customization). Backing up with SPB Backup or similar products, is NOT recommended, as they tend to backup the previous release's registry/file bugs as well!
Looking at the download folder you will find two core versions of my ROM.
A 21916 Build which is the most reliable and bug free release. It has the Start menu button at the top left corner. This build uses the same stock system that came with your device. This is usually the fastest and most stable build, but it's also the least fancy
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
A 29022 Build that's the latest in Microsoft's development with the Start menu button at the bottom left corner and big softkeys, making it all very "finger friendly". These builds reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft. Most people choose this build... Why else would you install a custom ROM ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can stay up to date on the status of my ROM development by "following" me on Twitter.
It's definitely the fastest way to get in touch with me and please don't be afraid to tweet me if you see major issues with the ROMs.
I generally do not answer "support" questions on Twitter, as it's really not the proper medium for that. Service packs and quick fixes will always be released as links in my tweets and that's definitely the fastest way to get a fix for a ROM.
To follow me on twitter, click here!
This post features all the Cookie Hometab based ROMs I make.
The original ROM is the "energy" version and that's a good starting point. All the rest, are themes applied to that ROM.
They all come in two versions, Cookie 1.8.5 and Cookie 2.0 (the ROM filename will be labeled "Cookie" and "Cookie.2.0, plus the name of the theme)
You can see more screenshots of these ROMs a couple of posts down.
The two Cookie versions look pretty similar, but Cookie 2.0 has multiple sliding homescreens/freely moveable widgets (similar to Android) and
quite a few more features and speed.
My own 'Energy' style
This is the best ROM version and the way Sense should have been designed by HTC
Offers the biggest customization ability out of all versions. You can add/remove bars or items on the homescreen, arrange items any way you like, plus lots of extra features
Three built in lockscreens. "HD Mini" style, Manila style or Windows style
3 pages of quicklinks with a configurable amount of shortcuts displayed
3 Homescreen layouts to choose from, as seen in the above screenshots, all completely customizable !
Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <
Dinik's "Anastasia"
This ROM series is skinned with Dinik's great "Anastasia" theme applied on everything.
Everything has been skinned, including Sense, the start menu items, the soft keyboard, parts of the dialer... etc
_LeCiel_'s ".sencity"
This ROM is themed with the .sencity theme released by _LeCiel_ who is a very talented artist ! Please support his work if possible.
.sencity is not %100 complete yet, but _LeCiel_ is working hard on finishing his work to completely skin the entire ROM.
Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <
DJC & Bobsbbq's "Touch Of Glass"
This ROM series is skinned with DJC's "Touch of Glass" theme throughout Sense and the Start Menu
More will be skinned as DJC continues his work on the theme in the future...
Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <
ElCondor's "GTX"
This ROM has the white GTX theme applied
Android styled taskbar, matching dialer, matching start menu background and Action screen background
GTX is a total reskin of the operating system, so expect a very different (white) experience
Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <
'Standard' ROMs that have no addons installed on the homescreen. Stock Sense 2.5 !
'Energy'
This series retains the stock functionality of the Sense UI. The files have been compressed by "CFC" compression. making the UI lighter and faster
This ROM still retains my theme and style, plus all the regular apps you find in my ROMs.
There are no homescreen addon-ons in this ROM. The best speed and the most stock functionality.
'Reference'
This ROM is mostly for people that want a close to stock ROM with the stock visual style. It's also perfect for doing your own customizations.
A lot of the cooked in apps are removed in this ROM, the Start menu back to the stock 3 row style
Sense and everything else is back to the default HTC green.
ROMs mostly created for enthusiasts...
MaxSense UI (android style homescreen)
This is a complete rewrite of the Sense homescreen, by maxycy.
It features a 3 screen, Android style, homescreen with widgets! The widgets can be placed ANYWHERE on the three screens.
75 Quicklink accessible on all tabs
You should really visit the original thread for this mod shown on the next line to see all the features!
Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <.
Titanium (ROMs for raw speed!)
This is a minimal ROM version without Sense in it. It's used primarily for people that like to customize the default 6.5 homescreen (Titanium)
You can use it to install alternate homescreen interfaces like SPB Mobile Shell, etc
Very low memory footprint and good battery life, but very simple and lacks a lot of features that you would otherwise have available in Sense...

ROM features at a glance:
Very fast startup time. You find any startup wizards in this ROM. You'll be up and running in a couple minutes after flashing the ROM.
XDA_UC is built in. It will import your custom XML and REG files from your storage card after first boot.
My own Settings Exporter application is found in the Tools folder. Use it to export all your settings after you customize the device. When a new ROM comes down the line, use it to import everything and save time.
Everything is setup to use the phone right after flashing. Sounds, notifications, etc
The HTC Messaging client is removed, leaving the windows built SMS client for much faster texting...

A: Yes, it's highly recommended, this thread will help you out.

Q: NRGZ28 have uploaded new ROMs, but I can't see any changelog for it!?
A: Sometimes their isn't such a big update and therefor no changelog will be posted. But you can try to look at the changelog for HD2.
Q: Their are new ROMs that are recently released, but I can't find them on Hotfile...
A: NRGZ28 often spreads the news about new upcoming ROMs when he starts to upload them. And he don't just cook ROMs for Topaz, so have patience and wait for the uploading to finish.
Q: I use GTX themed ROM and the clock stretches zeros, how can I fix this?
A: Install the hotfix called "ECKM GTX clock 0 fix" that's attached to this post. NOTE: This fix is from the original GTX thread where you also can find hotfixes for other bugs in GTX ROMs.

A: This could solve the problem.

Q: Where is the "addons directory"?
A: At the moment, it's located here.
Q: My battery is draining... is their any fix for enhancement?
A: Yes and no, because sometimes this "fix" helps and sometimes not. However you can find the trick here.

A: It's recommended, because it will remove any old settings that may cause bugs in the new ROM.
Q: It would be great if I could boost the audio on my phone, is there a way to do this?
A: You could take a look at this.

XDA_UC FAQ
The XDA_UC cooked in my ROMs is modified from the stock XDA_UC made by Noonski. Great addon, by the way... Noonski did a great job with this !
The version in my ROMs is trimmed down to fit the needs of my ROM series.
Some of the extra features are:
It will copy shortcuts (.lnk files) found in \XDA_UC\Start Menu\ to the device's start menu folder (\windows\Start Menu) in the hierarchy that it finds on the storage card. For example: Let's say you have a navigation package on the storage card, like Navigon. If you make a shortcut to the navigon.exe file as Navigon.lnk and copy it to \XDA_UC\Start Menu\GPS\ as "Navigon.lnk" then on a fresh ROM install it will copy any shortcuts it finds there to the same location on the device, so it'll end up in \Windows\Start Menu\GPS\. This works for other folders on the Start Menu as well. Just put the shortcuts in \xda_uc\Start Menu\ in the folders you will like the shortcuts to appear to, on the device.
It will copy a custom splash screen from \Storage Card\XDA_UC\welcomehead.192.png to \windows automatically and overwrite the one in the ROM.
It will copy a custom Sense background found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\sense\wallpaper_sense.png to the device and set that wallpaper as default in Sense. So rename your wallpaper as "wallpaper_sense.png" and drop it in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\sense\ and on the next ROM flash that wallpaper will become your wallpaper in Sense.
Other than that XDA_UC works as designed by Noonski and it will do the following things:
It will automatically import your PPCbackup (*.pib) file found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will install custom XDAS scripts found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will silently install CAB files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will install special CAB files that require user input (such as Agreements or any type of prompt) found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\SD
It will silently import REG files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will silently install REG files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\Exporter, as exported by my own Settings Exporter, ONLY if the "automatic" file is also present in that folder (and it most cases it should be, enable that option in the Settings Export application's menu)
It will silently import XML files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will silently import CER files (usually Exchange certificates) found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will silently run custom MSCR files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
That's it, but don't forget to checkout the Addons folder and look in the XDA_UC section for tips and tutorials on how to export your email/wifi settings and various little .reg and tweaks you can add to your XDA_UC collection.
As always don't forget to check what installs automatically before reporting a problem with the ROM. Most of the time, if you notice you have a problem that nobody else is experience is because one of the cabs you dropped in the XDA_UC folder is installing automatically while you don't even think about it.
Cheers will definately give it a try, erm why does your music collection look too similar to my 90s college collection lol!! Some classics there!!
Cheers
Just installed the standerd version from the 18th sep from you.

Hi! Excellent Rom, but there is one question:
The program soft key manager changes name Left softkey, but does not start the assigned program.
SORRY guys but just trying to point out the obvious,,,,,, NRG split the roms up in two, so dont you think its about time to stop with the wifi bug if you want him to continue development,,,, seriously, if you want it, flash the rom, if not dont,,,,, if you flash the rom youll find out,,, ,,, by now we should asume that the wifi IS messed up.... so why not just report if it isnt,, ,,,
i for one would like the oppotunety to be able to flash Energy roms with manilla 2.5 in the future... not trying to slam anyone or offend anyone, but just pointing out what i got from the last few post by senior members in the "genesis" forum, including NRG...
NRG: Thanx for another superb rom.... keep up the good work pls
amazing rom thank you for your hard work my phone rocks thanks to you

What's wrong about asking for a known bug in previous roms?
Considering that this is a new build and that NRG says on the first page that there are NO bugs, only some from HTM (twitter), I just want to know if has figured out what the problem was and if he has fixed it.
That's it dude....
NRG, thanks for your amazing roms, your patience and dedication!
Ok, more people saying that the wifi bug is still there. I'll post my findings when I finish downloading the file........which is going terribly slow (rs mirror).

Finally finished downloading the rom and it's installed now.
I am connected to my home wifi and I'm trying to see if wifi goes on and off.
A problem (maybe bug) that I see now is that I can't turn off the wifi manually through the com. manager. I see the slider is to the right, so wifi is on, but it's greyed out.....I can't turn it off.
I have to click on settings - wireless lan - menu - wifi - menu - turn off wifi
So this is pretty annoying.......can you guys check it out and see if you can turn wifi off manually in the com. manager??
Thanks, I'll checking the forum....
Cheers!
Thanks for all your hardwork on the EnergyROM's, you shall definatly be receiving a donation when my own personal credit crunch ends.
Love the Twitter integration too, I'll just wait a couple of revisions until it works, but its nice to see HTC embracing the "new" social networking site.

Maybe you have connected your phone with activesync and try to turn off or on a wifi? If yes... unplug phone from your pc.
Ok, I've been testing the rom now for about 40 minutes and so far no wifi bug for me.
I've let the phone on for 10 minutes and it didn't try to connect to my wifi. I've switchted the phone on and off (the screen) and it doesn't connect to wifi automatically. Which was the case in the previous version.
So for me, thusfar no wifi bugs. I'll keep the rom for a whole day and will post tomorrow with an update.
Thanks for the great rom!!
Cheers!
Wow!! another nice new ROM! thanks, NRGZ28, gonna flash this ROM later and report what i found(hopefully i would find nothing as bug).
