Welcome to my ROM thread!
This ROM is the first one in my series of ROMs for the Touch HD, and it's designed to have the latest and greatest applications and improvements. I also make ROMs for the Touch Pro device and that can be found in this thread.
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.
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, 33109 would have been released on March 31, 2000.
The ROM is currently based on the 21042 OS core, with all the new goodies from the newly announced Rhodium device (the Touch Pro 2).
The ROM should already be %99 bug free.
You will find bugs with Manila, not setting the time correctly on the HomeScreen or little things like that, but these are all known bugs with Manila.
- This ROM is a Ferrari, therefore it drinks a lot of gas and burns a lot of rubber (RAM)... so be prepared to charge your phone more often!

FAQ Section.
Q: Why does my phone rotate from portrait to landscape like crazy ??
A: Calibrate your G Sensor from the Settings control panel. If that doesn't do much, disable the Screen Gyrator from the same control panel.
Q: Does this ROM have video call ?
A: Yes !
Q: If I use this in the US, will the time jump back and forth one hour if I access the clock settings from the home screen ?
A: Yes. This is a bug in the Manila interface, that will hopefully sort itself out when the old DST time will kick in.
Q: Why is the phone a little slow when you first boot it up ?
A: ConnectionSetup tries to detect your SIM card for the first 30 seconds after boot up. During that time, the phone might be a little sluggish.
Q: How's the battery life with this ROM ?
A: It's good for me, but you still have to charge your phone everyday.
Q: Does this ROM have the new Rhodium Start Menu ?
A: NO! It has the default windows start menu
More to come...

- Missing links to notication manager and finger menu tweaks. Will add them as a hotfix cab in a little bit.
excellent , i might just give this a go !!
nice i will try it out...thanks!
What is the build 33109 ?
You said you'll be naming them as the date of release. Now I noticed that you used 09 for the year rather than just 9, but then you used 3 for the month rather than 03. That might get confusing depending on how you handle the single digit days number.
Also, keep in mind that different parts of the world would read dates as day, month, year instead of month, day, year. That'll cause confusion, making some people think an older version is actually a newer version or vice versa.
My suggestion would be to use a 3 letter abbreviation for the month. So MAR3109 or APR0109, etc.
I like the skin !!
Enjoy
Great!
Good news! I will try it and later I will tell you how it goes
Thanks for all your work
I think this rom don't have video-call (in pictures I don't see...)
Edit: sorry in first picture of 'phone' in post 2, I see... I see... Open Speed dial, Video Call, etc.
hey nrg! welcome and great you are starting to cook hd roms! used your tp roms and know what you can do, just one question! i have been burning my mind out trying to get more programs with the new rhodium startmeny and frustrated to max, how do you do that! in your program tab i see more programs, four rows?
i am not an expert but have been trying with different changes to the manila registry with half success....
right now i am used to using the new startmeny and the only setback with it is its limitation on how many programs you can have there, i will test out your rom.
thx
looks good

Welcome to HD
Hi NRGZ28, welcome to the HD forum. I use your ROMs on mt Touch Pro (although it spends all its time in a drawer). Always flash your new releases. I expect the same goodies for my HD
Downloading now..
Looks like a awesome ROM, can I change the start menu back to normal? i.e. most of the new Manila V3's have a big icon start menu, I prefer the old start menu.
Thanks again NRGZ28 and keep up the good work for XDA-Developers..
This has the old start menu.... I hate the new start menu. It's for dumb people.. lol

Awesome with a new rom! What can we expect, tough? Lite? TouchFlo3D?
Thank you udK for your committment here!
I am waiting for your ROM to test
Welcome to Xperia forums !!!
maybe give some informations ^^
a little forecast would be nice
I'm looking forward to it because none of the rom, that have been made already, fits 100% to my expectations.
altough they are all great
first itje's rom. and soon this. cool times ahead
one thing im missing on cooked x1 roms is a full tf3d ROM that is lightning fast. hope yours does this this.
First beta online, test it.
Have fun.
if anybody would share his experience regarding touchflo/video playback speed compared to other roms ?
EDIT: pls udk if you could also share more info....for ex. is it based on r2a or r3a ??
Downloading now!
let's try it out tomorrow morning, now my battery is 20%
Good work udK! How are you liking your x1 so far?
UDK.....I follow you since P3600!!!
my X1 is very happy
tnx
udK i just flashed your rom, I love it. I find it stable, and battery consumption is nice. I was torn between itje's new 6.5 and your rom, so I decided to give a reputable new cook of the X1 a try. And I like it! No bugs found yet, just one question, is there a way to add a PROGRAM tab in TF3D?
Welcome UDK, looking forward to some high quality roms from you, just like the onces you cooked for the polaris (which i am still using).
Looking forward to you ROM!
the start menu is the old or the new extracted from the rodhium?
beautiful
never tried udk before but this rom is very nice its like a mix between itje and jack put together hehe ...very nice!!
-first loading time was a bit more i think but after that everything seems nice, programs menu from tf2 is missing but i can live without it seeing as every icon on the programs folder has the new theme to it. also i would say you should take out the "G-Sensor" menu from settings (afaik xperia has no sensors?)
-new communications manager is nice i like it
-the font size is perfect
-speed is nice
-also everything is finger friendly 100%
-the link with facebook works but it doesnt seem to have the menu for it to work in the favourites?? ...i dunno maybe its me but i cant get it to work?
-how do i check on battery life better because the "power" is missing from settings??
-please tell me about this push page thing?? is it like rss feeds?
overall very good work its perfect as it is tbh nothing big although i will try and review a bit better in a bit just at work at the moment
EDIT: also when screen goes black ...i press the on button and it comes on and goes black and then comes on again... its ok i can live with it not bad thing but annoying lol. i will try a reset.
EDIT2: sorry boss lol ...when replying to a sms i just tap the message and the type box is not located in the correct position.
Already downloaded but not yet had time to flash. Great work and very fast
Welcome UDK, used your diamond roms before i switched to the X1, which is nice as i can keep using your roms!
I have to say this is a beta?! really? doesn't seem like it, its fine! i love it. 1 thing i like about it is that its 1 of the only roms that is using the normal htc black theme in tf3d2. All the other roms are using the new tmobile theme which i hate personally. Dont use the tmobile the udk!
Very impressed with this !
nice work!
Very good effort here! Looking forward to more releases!
BTW, do you have the original wallpaper for this?
**Couple of issues.
1.) No Power settings in \system\settings
2.) Cannot add myFaves tab even with myfaves.hidden set to 0
3.) Can you change the default green to black or another?

Here is a relatively fast, no waiting Mirror for your rom : Himalaya23420Beta
You can include it in your first post, since 4shared is mega-slow.
Thanks for the Rom, love it. Hope you will keep up the good work and post a new version soon.
I think about using 23060 Shell section, it is much stablier and better looking.
http://www.4shared.com/file/137815754/110ef008/Himalaya23420release.html
Here goes new test release for out himalaya! We are so close to release men!
What in new build?
- Build in NET 3.5 (probably, non tested)
- Reorganized dialer and phone, no problems anymore!
- New start menu
- Some new modules from new builds, mixed, 23060 and 23420
Hope you like this!
Peace to you my friends! I told a girl I love her today, she is so angry, I'm gonna to hurt myself, then suicude, But first I must release this. I will release kitchen soon.
I love her, she hates me, what the hell, my life is so ****
downloading~ be back to review thanks!
eh, thats sound sad but never give up, shes angry becoz she have a position for you in her heart but now this position may have to upgrade or downgrade...
do u know tofclock? do not follow his footstep....
run a quick test and found out its not much differences at the beta release.
the build that you use are still with the same error i last found
-task and calendar cannot create new as all mess up
-yes no button for pop out menus are missing still, some error on registry
-ramdisk allocation issue
-.net not functional, tested with advance config tools 3.3
i think the best stable will be 23409 instead of going higher as mostly buggy. just have to fine tweak some issue with that build
top BANGET.....
Very good..........download now....
thank u

Flashed this ROM today. Good ROM, but still some issues need to be fixed :
don't know it's because of the 4 column program tab on the homescreen, but I cannot slide to other tabs (contacts, messaging,...) - only sliding over the menubar works
hardware button 'home" doesn't work
slow
I can't review the ROM in depth because I'm about to flash your 6.5.5. ROM.
Just flashed your 6.5.5. ROM. My remarks :
I never installed the 4 column tab on the homescreen, but I find this pretty annoying, since I can't slide to left or right when on the homescreen
Settings in start menu take me to the settings tab. Again, pretty annoying for me, because I can't even disable Sense that way. I would prefer a folder in the start menu, so I can assign hardware buttons, enter my name and address, change the theme, etc.
hardware button 'home" doesn't work - maybe it has something to do with the 4 column program menu?
the help icon in the start menu is the default one when no icon is found
All in all a decent ROM, but the above mentioned issues makes my blackstone less user-friendly (in my opinion), so for now I'm returning to Mike's ROM.
If you don't install those extra tweaks I believe you'll have an excellent ROM!

Welcome to my ROM! What will you find?
Windows Phone 6.5.5
PointUI Home 2
Latest Xperia Stuff (Camera, Panel Manager, MMS)
Lots of HTC stuff
Not Included:
Opera: I preffer original 9.5 for X1 cause of zooming with volume keys is killer feature for me. Though I now that most people preffer newer version (9.7 / 10) which I do not like that much. So as a matter of choice I left it out completely. You can find it attached to this post.
I simply did not like that every ROM comes with Manila and most of them were slow (no offense to the great cooks here!!) due to the fact that Manila 2.5 was made for Snapdragon CPU. So I decided to make my own and to use PointUI Home 2.
Current WM Version is 29007, this may change with future Releases.
ROM is optimized for speed, usability and graphics. This ROM is intended for those people who do not suffer from ORD but rather for using it on a longer term. I have been using various versions of this ROM for quite some months now so I think most of the Bugs are Ironed out. You may expect to discover a bug or two anyway...as it is the case with every ROM.
Point UI Home 2 consits of a Home Screen with some widgets (which you can choose). There are more widgets available in the PointUI forums, feel free to have a look! There also is a "take me home" button on the bottom of every screen (the small PointUI Logo) which...well takes you always home Except the case you are allready at the start screen. In this case taping the button will open up the "Quick Launch" whre some nifty tools are located. So to speak taping the "take me home" button once takes you home while a second tap opend up the Quick Menu.
There are also other utils integrated in PointUI Home 2 such as a taskmanager, call history and more. Give it a shot and play around with it for some time ;-)

You are doing this at your own risk, I am in no way responsible for breaking your device! (just in case...) I recommend doing a "task 29" before flashing or at least one or two Hardresets after flashing!
After Flash the first boot takes a while. The device will do a reset. After the first boot just hit up the start menu, go to "Tools" and activate PointUI Home 2. Install all your apps and you're done.
Some final remarks: some apps tend to silently add today plugins. These are slowing PointUI Home 2 down so please make shure that apart from PointUI no other item is enabled.
If you preffer having a black backround (systemwide) go check this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6786770&postcount=30
Activation: PointUI is running everything even in free mode. Only thing I came across is the actvation screen. After flash, just accept the terms once. Then after every reboot (which should not happen too often ;-) anyway) and around midnight (you might see it every morning) the following screen is displayed whre you simply shound tap "Cancel". Thats i't (And please: never post a crack ore warez related to this topic here or eslewhere!)

need serial
Hallo first of all thanks for the Rom nice looking,
no problems so far.
Only one question PoinUI need reg. its keep asking for the serialnr.
Keep the good work
shall try this rom , after the register problem is solved.
Thx for sharing it
afaik point UI asks for a serial, but you can cancel this and it will work just fine in this rom. you dont need to type any serial in. it will work without.
cheers
@derliebewolf: right?

Review:
Awesome ROM, no SOD's for the time I am using it, it's fast, bug free and PointUI makes it complete. Stable one.
Good job Derliebewolf.

BEFORE FLASHING:
THIS IS FOR GSM ONLY DO NOT INSTALL ON A CDMA DEVICE, IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE RESEARCH YOUR DEVICE TYPE BEFORE FLASHING...YOU MUST HAVE HARDSPL INSTALLED ON YOUR DEVICE, ALWAYS REMOVE THE STORAGE CARD AND SIM CARD, AND RUN TASK29 BEFORE FLASHING ANY ROM (some people don't follow these recommendations and don't have issues but even they will recommend doing it)
This build from the WCX Illuminati Team is dedicated to those who use the AT&T Tilt2/Euro TP2 and want maximum customization of their today screen and sense 2.5 tabs. Everything for the AT&T version and Euro TP2 version (TMobile users need to install keyboard mapping cab)of this device is pre-configured for AT&T/Euro, there's no need for cabs to update the keyboard or mms size, there's no need for any gps fix cabs, it's good to go from the get go...just install the ROM.
We always recommend when first installing these ROM's to reboot the device 3 times to ensure everything settles in real nice prior to usage. This time we've added an automated first reboot so the user just needs to restart twice before using, which is a nice feature, just don't freak out that the device restarts itself, it just means the ROM installed correctly Once installed and rebooted the user will see there's no lag when scrolling from tab to tab using the slider, or finger flicking from the screen. We have kept the stock CHT screen for enthusiasts looking to theme or customize their phone the way they want it.
We have included most all necessities and utilities people use on these devices, and have left out things available in other ROMS that we feel most users will never use (cabs for those applications are readily available to install and the device has tons of storage for those that want them.
What we've created is a very fast, sleek, customizable and finger friendly ROM. It's been tested very thoroughly before release, there were zero claims of SOD's or anything not working.
There are two types of builds available:
21916 (start menu softbutton on the top of the screen, most stable build, but less finger friendly than 23148)
This is generally referred to as WM6.5
23148 (start menu softbutton on the bottom of the screen, very finger friendly and a very stable build)
This is generally referred to as WM6.5.5 or WM6.5.X
Both builds provide a huge amount of available device storage space, and allow very good multitasking. Ram use is controlled very well for a UI that's known to consume it.
First variations will be manila 2012 and arcsoft messaging client(Chose these for best stability since cht hasnt been updated in a longgg time) Next variations will be manila 2021(these will be released when I am settled back into things after surgery) Hope you enjoy these...

Very nice Sir
Congratulations on a very good build...I'm not sure what a proper opening for a new bug free fully functional rom should include...I'm not going to smash a champagne bottle against my computer screen (or am I?)....am I supposed to throw my phone from a pitchers mound? Kick it like a kickoff? C'mon
All joking aside, to anyone looking to install, as a tester of the AT&T builds I can say I ran the 23148 while WC was working on the 21916 build...I had no issues whatsoever with how it ran or how things worked, everything was nice.
The 21916 build was ran on my device longer, again, everything worked as it's supposed to...I'm an end user, not a developer, I'm not even an experienced tester.. my phone is used heavily during the course of every day, and when I flash a rom I need it to perform, and this one has, extremely well...I forget what available storage memory was at the fresh install exactly, I know it was over 200MB...the rom is fast and runs multiple apps simultaneously very well...battery usage has been very good...I don't really know what else to explain, as I said, I just use the phone, and am not experienced in testing or explaining what others might want specifics on technically...if you experience anything other than what I have, which has been functionality, you'll need to mention it to WC
Finally it's here. I've been checking the other thread like every 30 mins during the entire last week (literally, kind of).
I appreciate your hard work, Mr. WC !
23148 2012 arc flavour runs butter smooth on my tp2 since 10 days, and speed is not the enemy of battery. So anyone interested in a customisable ROM without compromises should give a try quickly
I recommend radio 4.49.25.17 for western european users.
any screenshots ?
Screenshots may not be very relevant since it's a stock ROM with out-of-the cab aspect of CHT. It's tweaked for own custom, and doesn't provide any fancy icons / themes out of the box. But there is sincerely enough to do with WVGA CHT themes to do it @ it's own taste quickly if needed.
If you are already a CHT 2 user, just export / import your settings to retrieve your previous home tab layout and configuration. But as I see you come from a Core Cell rom, you won't recover the theming.
As I remember Core, this WCX release will feel lighter, faster and less stuffed (but some features like youtube app will work perfectly, including in landscape browsing). So it might be quite different.
WC posted a video here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3i5VXdwsd8
The device in the video is not running the stock today screen that the rom comes with, the clocks were changed, as well as the quickling icons and some other changes...WC has a video of the stock rom and today screen as well but I don't believe he's posted it anywhere

Hi,
I was really drawn to the Today screen in the Youtube video as the date and clock are both much more legible than the one provided in the rom. Do you know what I can change to get them there or where I can get the additional changes/cabs?
A small quirk I also found is that the time zone seems to be stuck on GMT and is grayed out - I have to pretend I am there but any manual resetting of the clock will revert back to the proper time when the device is sync'd thru Activesync. A small fly in the ointment?
Thanks,
cl

thx!!!
Well for those concerned or were wondering, i had my anterior/posterior lumbar fusion surgery on the [email protected] 730 a.m., and home now since the [email protected] p.m., so they are quite amazed at how fast my recovery was for me to be able to walk outta the hospital after such an extensive surgery...but i am home, sore as **** and if you ever have to have this kind of surgery.....OMG...lol.... what you see in the picture is the incision they made in the front, like a c section for a woman, about a 3 inch slice...they removed disk, inserted another disk to promote bone fusion and a small plate to hold it in place with 1 screw, then they flipped me over and inserted 4 screws and 2 rods....fun fun....
Regards,
WC
Welcome Home ...glad you're alright
Yes, hope your speedy recovery continues!
