ROM review's by PURESKILLZZZ

[PURESKILLZZZ]

The ROMS of XDA........

So many have messaged me , So many have asked in numerous threads. Which ROM is best. Well there is no one best rom . Each rom has its perks , ups and downs. The rom depends on the cook and the user. So lets put an end to the who is best and decide which rom is best for your own personal use.

This thread is to show all the roms that I have personally tested. The threads the cooks created have grown to extremely large sizes. Hopefully this can lead you in the direction of the rom you wish to use.


Special thanks to
papamopps who first planted this idea in my head And of course helping me with the thread.

A special thanks to the great cooks of XDA

I cant forget a guy who always has great ideas gambit.

And last but not least all the people who message me and gave me ideas on what to test in my reviews.

ITsPapaBlack v3 BETA - MMS included


************ Pre testing **************

OK the time is 3:21am here in nyc the boogie down bronx. I am now flashing your rom ... You are still cruel .... I will go thru the same tests but since its the beta ill keep it for at least a few days as long as MMS works.... Went thru a whole day with no MMS thats horrible and cruel .. Presently at 32% .. Will get back with further updates after rom is flashed and wing is back up and running ... Many thanks pap your last rom looked real sweet wish I could have played with it a while longer but I cant resist a new flash......


************** The test *******************


I love the clean screen . As my background is always a picture of me I can see myself clearly.
Ok ... 1st bug I have seen was when going thru changes on the today screen the picture album opened and I couldn't get out of it no matter what I pressed. After about 1 minute the phone rebooted. Ok I see no MMS at all let me find someone to send 1 to me . Also on the cube after the reboot some icon asre missing on one of the panels. I believe the memory and storage icons.
Now I just did another reset after running Connection setup to see if I can get MMS. The icons now came back on the cube with that reset as well. There is that bug i see him ... lol ... Once you goto today's settings and goto item and change anything well rather i been choosing battery and metrix the cube icons get messed up. OK I see MMS now let me try sending a message again .. Must do the reg-edit to see sim contacts. I know most dont like to see their sim contact but I prefer to see them in my contacts.
Bluetooth works quiet fine with both motorola H375 and motorola HS850 even tho I dont see my bluetooth icon now when im using the phone. MMS still isnt working at all .. Thats a big bug. Let me add ArcSoftMMS v4.2.8.1 cab and see if it will work MMS.
WOW reconnected phone to computer and it locked up .. Activesync could not connect. Slide control works i can turn off sounds as I wish. When sliding the screen changes in parts. it cuts a picture into parts then takes a few moments to set it clear.
All my MMS messages were deleted from all folders on this reset. Not sure why as I change the settings to manual removal. And after a few differnt MMS cabs still no MMS ..... I think I will flash back to your older rom as i need MMS. I will gladly test any fix you have as I don't mind flashing ....
The Audio Manager works flawlessly let me test windows media player even tho i rarely use that application. Ok it works as well for music but doesn't play any video. TCPMP player works but if you want to see a video you must first start the video then close the program. After if you restart the program you can see the video. You must do this every time you want to see a different video.
HTC Album works but I can only view pictures that are in my picture folder. Not sure if thats how it works but if not then thats not good. The batteryStatus can be started through the programs folder with out changing the icons on the cube.
Oxios Hibernate works flawlessly as usual. Sim manager works quiet fine even tho I feel its a useless utility to me. Total Commander works as I use it for reg-edits. Romsettings is ok. Enlarge StartMenu works as well with no issue even tho I turn it off not sure if I mentioned that about this rom .. LOL .. Now I know I am tired ut sill I have to flash so seeing how much more I can test before the flashing continues.
All the office components work very well. Due to the fact I don't have a data plan I cant properly test the Internet sharing for you. Sorry about that my dear friend.
Now maybe I missed it but how do you change the icons and settings on the cube . Since I never actually used it before I am not 100% sure.
I hope this little test of mines helps in the development of this rom and hopefully all the bugs can be sorted .... If I could cook already I would try to fix them as best as possible.

[PURESKILLZZZ]

[OLD] ITsPapaBlack 6.1


************** Pre Rom ***********

Looks sweet .. Guess ill be flashing it just to see how it looks ... Dammm I think I tested 6 or more roms in less than a week .... Been playing them real hard ... Maybe soon I will have to learn from you and the other great ones and make a rom.

Why do you do this to me .... I am already flashing .. Im at 95% and you post that link to me ... You are just too cruel .... LOL .. Well let me try this rom for at least 10 minutes before flashing to your new one. Ok its rebooting now. I see touch-it on the screen ..... I see your crazy character. ok its sitting there for while now ... ill get back .. wait it the tap in screen ... okie doke ....



************ Installed rom *************

OK... Since you aren't playing fair knowing a flash-a-holic cant ignore an upgrade rom i can only take a brief look at this one. the cube is running flawless, Audio manager is working and it added my ringtone with no hassle. The player does get a bit laggy when opening and closing slide repeatively. I turn off enlarge start menu as usual no problems there now to get testing MMS which I use immensly. ok i havent synced phone yet need some numbers to add . Also have to reg edit to get my sim contacts showing.before i re-connect let me test wifi. Connected perfectly and flawless but pressing the settings tab in comm manger i cant get to the wireless lan settings. going to test bluetooth with motorola H375. Bluetooth connected flawlessly. Also tested with motorola HS850. Music has been playing the whole time with no interruptions from 1 gig card. Ok when sending MMS the music lags a little. the sent message sound doesnt interfere with music playing they just mix like its part of the song. The folders open extremely smooth. I like this speed. OK MMS is working fine verified 5 picture sends. whole time phone was used while writting this test battery went from 100 to 87% under full drain og GPRS/EDGE , wifi , bluetooth , music playing , backlight on maximum brightness. Now sorry I can test further but I am a flash-a-holic and I want to test the new rom I just downloaded.....




OK .. I just flashed back to this rom and I didnt realize or rather I didnt see that when you change settings in today > item the cube icons are messed up. Guess thats a bug from this rom and it went over to the next version as well... Ill play some more and see if any other bugs i can discover. But I still love this rom anyways .




Ok after a whole day of beating this phone to the ground as I do all the time. The rom is sweet but the battery life seems to be a bit shorter. The cube icons do get hay wire but after a while they come back to normal. The comm Manager opens when it feels like mostly when installing or going through multiple screens and applications.

MMS does work but sometimes is a little bit buggy but its nothing to really complain about. The official rom from t-mobile does that so maybe its an issue with these phones. Speed is still awesome even after installing and un-installing about 50 plus apps and games. Just installed ultimate theft alert and so far no conflicts .

Also I am not sure if it was purposely but the side scroll line is skinnier . I think I like it this way. And of course I added S2U2 which has no conflict with this rom.

I am patiently awaiting the MMS fix for the other rom or if I get another wing to play with ill re-install it and mess with MMS . But I cant sit with out MMS as I send and receive plenty pictures and files. And for those who may not have known you can send files through MMS to other cells or to any e-mail client. I seen a hack for or rather a patch for 512k MMS on the motorola L6 and will have to find a phone to test it and see if I can receive such a large file. Has anyone sent files larger than the standard 300k.



Ok played with your rom a bit more intensely . The final little buggers I found are the dial pa screen sometimes doesn't easily allow you out but blanks the dialing portion of the screen and only shows the bottom 4 icons for out / in / all / missed calls.
The trick to the cube is to adjust it from ultimate launch settings not today's settings. Doing this it works flawlessly.
The MMS has 1 other little bug . When you sending multiple messages at once it sends them to draft rather than sending them but I like the pop in line which asks you to resend so I guess its a give and take. But I am greedy .... LOL ... This is also present with the SMS when sending many messages.
Well thats it ... Over all a great rom I must add. has a lot of smoothness to it . Waiting to see more of your wonderful work.



Ok I dont want german but was wondering as I am not a cook yet can you make an add-on cab to make all things appear in a different language. You know like a language pack. Yeah your rom is hot like fire but it just a question mainly because when i showed it to a lady friend, she asked " Does it come in spanish sweetie ". So if you can make it in german then I know you can make it in spanish .....



Well I redid this rom again and after playing with quiet a few roms i tweaked it to be almost exactly what I want. Changed a lot of the icons. Still have the full black effect which is awesome to me . Even tho I am still patiently waiting for papas other rom to be re-emerged.

The main tweaks i would love to fix are. The keyboard icon on the bottom middle of the screen comes and stays after you dismiss or delete a mms or sms message that popped up on you and you didn't goto mms or sms. It goes away after you goto phone or any other screen but still it should stay hidden.

The ultimate launch which i installed full version after 3 times figured out I could keep papas file to keep his set up. When changing settings it comes back with missing icons for a few minutes unless you goto other screens and then return.

I lost papas numbers when I added HTC home . Trying to figure how to get those back. The rom is very fast and smooth . Very little complaints . The color is what makes it the most attractive to me. So if you are looking for a sleek black rom this is definitely the rom of choice.

Well first I would like once again thank papa for his rom, as I am sure by now he knows I love the black.

************************************************** ******


Audio ..... AudioManager nothing more to say. Two thumbs up

Battery ..... So far seems very strong as running wifi , full back light, installing and un-installing, playing with UL and BatteryStatus. And also been messaging like crazy.

Blue-tooth ....... Has no draw backs as of yet using 3 blue-tooth units on it atm.

Calculator ........ Is working with no flaws. Guess this will be checked for now on as a few have asked on more than 1 occasion about it.

Camera ..... Sweet with the easy settings for storage as you open it the first time

Games ....... Well papa didn't add any folks so you have to do that part yourselves.

MMS ....... MMS .. YEAH !!!!!! Papa did it .. The MMS is awesome.

Phone Key Pad .... Its black like I like but for some reason i wanted more. Like almost a three "D" effect on the keys. Maybe a shine to them as well. The keys don't light-up or flash until several key presses later.

SMS ....... Another perfect out the box as we all knew before flashing.

Texting with Keyboard ...... The keypad letters all work fine but I needed duprades fix in order to see the symbols in the correct places. Glad he put that out there.

Voice Command ...... There isn't one added ... I have a few cabs will play with this tonight so I can update people on it as I received a few messages asking about it.

Wifi ....... Worked with out a flaw. Actually had a great connection speed from some other roms. All the flaws I saw in the beta are now gone with wifi .. Again papa did his thing.

Windows Media ...... Doesn't want to play much of anything but hey it doesn't bother me as papa added TCPMP 0.81RC1 Beta. Even though most content you have to play them once, stop it, close program and then restart the program and then the content plays perfectly.


************************************************** ******
****************** BUGS AND ISSUES ***********************
************************************************** ******

Ok with his last black rom and the beta the little keyboard icon on the bottom center pops up when you get messages and doesn't go away unless you enter a totally different screen and come back. He has fixed that little issue which shows papa is on point.

So if you want to complain about a rom remember if you don't speak up and tell the cook what you do and don't like then don't say anything at all. The cooks here are doing this out of appreciation , admiration and love of the art of cooking. If you think it is so easy then put out your own rom.

When going into settings or various different programs and you attempt to close them the comm-manager pops open. Or maybe a better way to explain is when closing various windows that window is also there to be closed.

When going to the start menu the today screen wont open from pressing today. I have to goto Start > Settings > Today in-order to use it on my phone. From the comm-manager screen the wifi settings wont open either.

Sometimes when programming Ultimate Launch the icons don't show perfectly for a hot second but thats was also present in the last rom so could be associated with UL.

Now remember I tested this on a t-mobile wing . A lot of these problems did not occur on the brief time I had with a tera. So if you have a different phone please post your findings.


************************************************** ******
****************** THE BOTTOM LINE ***********************
************************************************** ******

The rom is impressive . Fast moving with the incredible improvements that papas created. Gives the old black rom a chance to rest now . Papa did it as I am totally pleased.

And of course I like the black ........ And for those who may not get the second splash screen I don't want to blow the surprise but the pun is on the word MOD v.s. "GOD" .....

I hope my review of this rom helps many in their questions as I tried to cover as much space as possible. If you feel something is missing please make a note of it so for future note my reviews will be as full as possible. And once again thanks to papa for allowing me to be on the beta testers team . I feel so special now.

And a note to zcink who also has been looking for a newer rom . Mate trust me you will want to test this one out . I believe that papa has gotten it correct. You wont be disappointed.

MMS ....... MMS .. YEAH !!!!!! Papa did it .. The MMS is awesome. Well I see 1 flaw . No audio will play I guess that may be contributed to the media player. Ok Now I need to remebr the regedit to hopefully make coreplayer read and play all the MMS video & audio.

Phone Key Pad .... Its black like I like but for some reason i wanted more. Like almost a three "D" effect on the keys. Maybe a shine to them as well. Same as in previous version
the keys don't light-up or flash until several key presses later. But now it takes less presses.

Wifi ....... Wifi is taking quiet a time to connect ... Very strange from papa ... It connects fine but doesnt get an ip ... Ok a few resets later and wifi is flawless . Maybe I installed too much before my first attempt to connect to wifi.

Windows Media ...... Doesn't want to play much of anything but hey I dont use it .

The rom is impressive . Fast moving with the incredible improvements that papas created. I love the weather add on in the battery status. Very pretty and to think papa was playing with it I saw it and asked for it ... Well a little hint in the changing of the settings for your own city & state to change the readings from celcius change the word "metric" to the word "english". Cant tell you how to do much more as papa said to let you folks do a little thinking. And remember you never argue with the cook .. LOL

Gives the old black rom a chance to rest now . Papa did it as I am totally pleased. A more powerful rom for my phone........ Ok for your phones too .

And of course I love the black ........ Also what ever splash screen you have in your phone will stay there as papa didnt change it.

I hope my review of this rom helps many in their questions as I tried to cover as much space as possible. If you feel something is missing please make a note of it so for future note my reviews will be as full as possible. And once again thanks to papa for allowing me to be on the beta testers team .

Audio ..... AudioManager nothing more to say. Two thumbs up

Battery ..... So far seems very strong as running wifi , full back light, installing and un-installing, playing with UL and BatteryStatus.
Also had several phone calls.

Blue-tooth ....... Sweet as usual with papas roms as I click bluetooth I dont have to goto add new device it just grabs it and connects.
Has no draw backs as of yet using 3 blue-tooth units on it atm.

Calculator ........ Is working with no flaws. Guess this will be checked for now on as a few have asked on more than 1 occasion about it.

Camera ..... Sweet with the easy settings for storage as you open it the first time

Games ....... Well papa didn't add any folks so you have to do that part yourselves.

MMS ....... NO !!!! Papa how you do this to me .... No MMS ...... Back to that recorder screen .. Arggghhhh....

Phone Key Pad .... Its black like I like but for some reason i wanted more. Like almost a three "D" effect on the keys. Maybe a shine to them as well. Same as in previous version
the keys don't light-up or flash until several key presses later. But now it takes less presses.

SMS ....... Another perfect out the box as we all knew before flashing.

Texting with Keyboard ...... The keypad letters all work fine but I needed duprades fix in order to see the symbols in the correct places. Glad he put that out there.

Voice Command ...... There isn't one added ... I added one, now I am happy.

Wifi ....... Wifi is correctly..... Wifi is flawless.

Windows Media ...... Doesn't want to play much of anything but hey I dont use it .

So if you want to complain about a rom remember if you don't speak up and tell the cook what you do and don't like then don't say anything at all. The cooks here are doing this out of appreciation , admiration and love of the art of cooking. If you think it is so easy then put out your own rom.

When going into settings or various different programs and you attempt to close them the comm-manager pops open. Or maybe a better way to explain is when closing various windows that window is also there to be closed. He has fixed that problem as well.

From the comm-manager screen the wifi settings wont open.

Sometimes when programming Ultimate Launch the icons don't show perfectly for a hot second but thats was also present in the last rom so could be associated with UL.

Now remember I tested this on a t-mobile wing . A lot of these problems may not occur on all phones. So if you have a different phone please post your findings.


************************************************** ******
****************** THE BOTTOM LINE ***********************
************************************************** ******

The rom is impressive . Fast moving with the incredible improvements that papas created. I love the weather add on in the battery status. Very pretty and to think papa was playing with it and made about 12 versions before this final one.

And finally someone who doesn't hide the sim contacts even though you can show them. Papa did it as I am totally pleased. A more powerful rom for my phone........ Ok for your phones too .

And of course I love the black ........ Now papa has made his avator his 2nd splash screen so you know its a papa's creation.. And oh WOW !!!!! The HTC Album is awesome with the ability to choose what folder you want to use.

I hope my review of this rom helps many in their questions as I tried to cover as much space as possible. If you feel something is missing please make a note of it so for future note my reviews will be as full as possible. And once again thanks to papa for allowing me to be on the beta testers team . I feel so special now.

And a note to zcink who also has been looking for a newer rom . Mate trust me you will want to test this one out . I believe that papa has gotten it correct. You wont be disappointed. YES zcink I mean this one is a newer rom .... GET IT !!! zcink I am talking to you.

And papa stay on the dark side as its the color scheme I love ......And I never like the cops in the movies anyways I rooted for the bank robbers....

Yeahhhhhhhhhh !!! ... Papa fixed the MMS ... Sweet as pie .. I now can say this is his best black rom to date.

Now I am going to attempt the MMS hack to allow me to send 1200K files instead of only 300K files.

HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\UI\Size Limit
change key : wap2sendlimit1 to 1228800 (1.2M)

change key : sendlimit3 to 1228800 (1.2M)

Then change the settings in MMS . Start > Messaging > Menu > MMS Options > Servers > T-mobile MMS (which is my carrier, if different pick your carrier) . Now goto Send Limit and change the value to 1200K. Click done and you are done.

Testing with 528K file ....... successful.......
Testing with 671K file ....... successful.......
Testing with 770K file ....... successful.......
Testing with 976K file ....... successful.......
Testing with 1.07M file ...... unsuccessful - goes to 99% but then doesn't send.

OK now back to the rest of the rom .... I am already extra happy with MMS. Ok the rest of the rom looks sweet so no other comments at the moment ..

Okay papa used a little bit more memory for what installed lets see how it goes. The button that papa is referring to shows a 0 on my screen until you press it so its not blank here unless the zero just doesn't go away. I believe that to just be a misplaced picture file.

The reg hack isn't set up so i will have to take a look into that just now. OK I think I see the error with the reg hack papa .. The file you was showing me before you went to sleep I need to know the location so I can give you the edits working .

But at least the MMS is still working which we know is a must for me as much as data sharing or what ever you call it is for zcink. Who by the way could not even bring me back a gift or show me any love ... But thats a whole different story .....

Well all else is good as I am testing with a t-mobile wing so other phones may give different outcomes so people PLEASE POST your findings.

So if you want to complain about a rom remember if you don't speak up and tell the cook what you do and don't like then don't say anything at all. The cooks here are doing this out of appreciation , admiration and love of the art of cooking. If you think it is so easy then put out your own rom.

I haven't installed any software yet not a single item as I wanted to test the rom fresh .. The buttons are an improvement papa waiting to see the next release...

Waiting for the top bar edits , the audio player with your pretty buttons .. nd what other little tweaks do you have papa .. You know I will flash anything you have so I am here waiting ....

But last but not least I also adore the black keyboard. Its the perfect match for ITsPapasBlackWeather rom ...

****************** BUGS AND ISSUES ***********************
************************************************** ******

OK papa going to let you know I put your rom through the mud as I have to test you harder and more punishing than the rest as I was there through development.

Been banging on the buttons to see what the phone will do ..... . Installed all the software t nce to see if the rom could andle it vs installing some and soft-resetting. Ok the rom buckled for a moment did a few resets and it didnt want to work . Was about to give up and reflash and then the rom said "I AM BACK"

Well after that I un-installed and re-installed many applications to see if this rom was going to fall apart. YES papa have to test you very hard. No problems there at all ..... Even tried installing while talking on phone we still running ...

Now its not all roses. When dialing or using the phone you cant view a persons contact information. And some of the settings shorcuts dont work . But yes papa forseen this and added a folder called settings in the programs menu.

Same issue with tcpmp as before if you play a video you have to play it once, exit program and then restart program to see the video. First time you only hear audio. Ok core isnt working or rather isnt playing the video at all. OK realoneplayer isnt playing anything either ... hmmm not good not good.

Ok tried conduit pocket player no good on the video. Hhhmmmmm why is this I wonder. Guess just stick with tcpmp

Ok the wifi is working correctly now. Able to use both browsers at once and update weather ... Just PERFECT papa !. You know the extend of my network and i had to beat the wifi to near death.

OK the MMS/SMS is 100% .. Damm papa you put your foot into this one ..... All you have to do is goto Messaging > Menu > MMS Options > Servers > ( Your server mines was ) T-Mobile MMS > Send Limit > Choose 1200K

Now for you folks who ask the same question 100 times. NO !!!!!! The MMS/SMS 1.2M hack is not needed its already installed. You hear me people like robert ........ Ok 1 small issue with MMS it doesnt play audio and all moving gif & videos ... So using tcpmp as default for all.

To set tcpmp as default player for all media : Open Tcpmp > options > settings > select page > file associations > click all selections > click OK > File > exit . Now Soft reset your phone. Now its set. If not do process all over.

So if you want to complain about a rom remember if you don't speak up and tell the cook what you do and don't like then don't say anything at all. The cooks here are doing this out of appreciation , admiration and love of the art of cooking. If you think it is so easy then put out your own rom.

Now remember I tested this on a t-mobile wing . A lot of these problems may not occur on all phones. So if you have a different phone please post your findings.

As you see I used the Ftouch with the cube as I like the flow of it . So I have that and ul running ... was a little tricky as for some reason your rom makes the screen harder to press and dont want to adjust pressure too much.

I have a sweet looking sexy comm manager not the the t-mobile ugly one. papa has all his black screens in this rom.

Rom is looking very sweet now ...Black like I like it ......

************************************************** ******
****************** THE BOTTOM LINE ***********************
************************************************** ******

The rom is impressive with great speed, Has a beautiful home screen with battery status WOW !!! Awesome Black.

All the buttons work from the comm manager screen with the sexy new look . . The rom has power and is a good addition to papa's collection. Enjoy folks.

I hope my review of this rom helps many in their questions as I tried to cover as much space as possible. If you feel something is missing please make a note of it so for future note my reviews will be as full as possible.

And a note to zcink Try this out .. You will like it mate ......

And a special note to itje. WE ALL LOVE YOU DONT STOP COOKING !!!!!!!!

And I cant forget papa( yeah its his rom ) who gave me a lot of lessongs in parts of rom development along with ivanmmj who is now holding class.

[PURESKILLZZZ]

********* ITsPapaBlack 199xx.1.2.0 ************

Thanks again papa for letting me test. And thanks to gambit for being my fellow test dummy ....

Ok folks a little bit of a teaser review of the new release coming.

1.) Almost all bugs have been fixed

2.) MMS/SMS still with working 1.2M hack

3.) Bluetooth seek speed even faster.

4.) Wifi using less battery power.

5.) Slighty more memory.

6.) And of course papas custom today screen.

I have screen shots of the memory and to show people the amount of texting I do and this is only day 6 of my cell phone bill cycle.

****************** THE BREAK DOWN ***********************
************************************************** ******


ActiveSync ...... No good ..... Cant Sync files & contacts.

Audio ..... WIndows Media Player .... I miss AudioManager.

Battery ..... So far seems very strong as running full back light, installing and un-installing. Also had several phone calls. Took 3 hours in the installing and testing battery ended at 72%

Blue-tooth ....... Not working ... Tried from settings and the bluetooth folder.

Calculator ........ Is working with no flaws. Just beautiful ...

Camera ..... Sweet with the easy settings for storage as you open it the first time

Games ....... ttran001 put 2 games there I guess so you wont be bored.

Internet Sharing ....... I dont use it so untested. I am still looking for a good hack for it free.

MMS ....... Not working at all ...

Phone Key Pad .... Basic keys but they have a smooth movement so way better than t-mobile rom.

SMS ....... Messages come in but cant read all of them unless I move to deleted box. Once in delete box you can respond to message.

Texting with Keyboard ...... The keypad letters all work fine. Sweet job ttran001.

Voice Command ...... Yes its there cant test it with bluetooth. But it does work via the phone.

Wifi ....... Wifi is having problems. Have not made a sucessful connection yet to secured access point.

Windows Media ...... WOW ! It actually works been a while since I seen that.


************************************************** ******
****************** BUGS AND ISSUES ***********************
************************************************** ******

OUCH !!!!! Activesync isnt working correct at all .... I went to Start > Setting > System USB to PC and checked the enable advance network functionality and no dice. I can browse the files from my phone on my computer but thats it. And the sim contacts are hidden I dont like that. I miss advance config here.

Phone is doing the famous T-mobile rom thing of locking up and freezing a bit ... Been banging on the buttons to see what the phone will do .....

The Bluetooth is another horrible issue I live on a headset as I move around a lot. I finally got it to turn on by going to bluetooth explorer but the hardware still didnt start properly. None of the fixes I have for bluetooth help at all.

Installed T-Zones and it doesnt work I get this error .. "Internet error -8:" "Cannot dial up" .... Something is missing as T-Zones and MMS use similar services. Ok the wifi issue .. Installed hitchhiker to help ... Now I do plenty of networking and wifi mac address is allowed on my routers so I am lost.

Now the MMS / SMS is an awful mess. Just horrible . Cant even reply to a SMS message you have to start from a new message. Never seen that problem in a rom before. Let me try to fix it real quick since cant live with out it.

So if you want to complain about a rom remember if you don't speak up and tell the cook what you do and don't like then don't say anything at all. The cooks here are doing this out of appreciation , admiration and love of the art of cooking. If you think it is so easy then put out your own rom.

Now remember I tested this on a t-mobile wing . A lot of these problems may not occur on all phones. So if you have a different phone please post your findings.

I believe that the issues with MMS/SMS , wifi are all contributed to a wap setting or part missing ... Thats just my 2cents .... Even upon removing Arcsoft from registry , re-installing it and re-doing the network wizard it didnt work. I then attempted to install ArcSoftMMS v4.2.8.1 which didnt solve it and then the newer version Alex__Arcsoft_MMS_5.0.31.7. That was also no help but while tweaking it I noticed that several registry entries are missing. I believe those referring to wap settings.

************************************************** ******
****************** THE BOTTOM LINE ***********************
************************************************** ******

The rom is impressive with sweet speed, and it is packed with plenty so ttran001 was being nice today.

All the buttons work from the comm manager screen which has been flawed in a few roms .

I hope my review of this rom helps many in their questions as I tried to cover as much space as possible. If you feel something is missing please make a note of it so for future note my reviews will be as full as possible. And once again thanks to papa for allowing me to be on the beta testers team . I feel so special now.

And a note to zcink test it to see the internet sharing portion please.

************************************************** ******
****************** BUGS AND ISSUES ***********************
************************************************** ******

GREAT !!!!! Activesync is working correctly now ..... I am still missing advance config here. OK a small note . Even with the fact activesync is working there is still a little bug with it. As I have to fully check it . So I opt'ed to change the splash screen and had a problem flashing it. Had to goto bootloader mode manually. Had to do multiple reboots of the phone in order for activesync to resync the data ... At one point all numbers and info was erased from phone by an activesync error. Now all is working. Still say its buggy but an immemse improvement from having almost no use of activesync.

The freezing is not apparent in this rom so ttran001 is working hard even tho he fixed that in the last build... Been banging on the buttons to see what the phone will do ..... When the rom boots up it says 5.0 not 5.2 ... hmmmmm small bug.

The Bluetooth is now repaired and working 100%. I was about to install total commander as I didnt see it until I pressed start and there it was guess he hid it there.

Ok the wifi is working correctly now. Able to use both browsers at once and update weather ... Just PERFECT ttran001 !

Now the MMS / SMS is still an issue . Still can't even reply to a SMS message you have to start from a new message. Attempting a removal and re-installment of SMS / MMS . OK we cant get it back 100% but with version 4.2.8.1 you can get the options to choose. With version 5.0.31.7 you lose the abilty to alter it but can choose servers. In both versions there are still registry values missing ... Looks like it needs a complete tear down and rebuild . That has to be cooked ....

ttran001 Even tho you dont like MMS we DO ! .. Well I do ... LOL

So if you want to complain about a rom remember if you don't speak up and tell the cook what you do and don't like then don't say anything at all. The cooks here are doing this out of appreciation , admiration and love of the art of cooking. If you think it is so easy then put out your own rom.

I believe that the issues with MMS/SMS are all contributed to missing reg files ... Leaving that alone not trying to fix it this time .....

Last but not least the picture viewing ... hmmmm ttran001 fix that as well .... Rom is looking very good now ...

************************************************** ******
****************** THE BOTTOM LINE ***********************
************************************************** ******

The rom is impressive with great speed, faster than last 2 versions and it is packed with plenty so ttran001 was being extra nice today.

All the buttons work from the comm manager screen which has been flawed in a few roms .

I hope my review of this rom helps many in their questions as I tried to cover as much space as possible. If you feel something is missing please make a note of it so for future note my reviews will be as full as possible. And once again thanks to ttran001 for allowing me to test his rom.

And a note to zcink Try this out .. You will like it mate ......

And a special note to itje. WE ALL LOVE YOU DONT STOP COOKING !!!!!!!!

I must say this rom is a beautiful toy . I was pleased with testing it and now I have to put it on 2 other phones as noisey people saw it and want it ....


Well folks I guess this will be my rom testing template . Feel free to use it if you wish. They say copying is the biggest form of flattery.


***** Final NOTE ***** Activesync is working perfect as flashing and entering bootloader are fine now .. Maybe some of the installing was conflicting or just the fact that the rom needed to settle into the phone. ***************

[PURESKILLZZZ]

Hi ttran
Been using your ROM since OpenTouch v4.0 and I absolutly love them. Can hardly wait to download v5.0 biggy and flash it to my phone to see the wonders you have worked this time.

I want to apologize for not donating, I would love to as I really enjoy your ROMs and think that you deserve it, but can't due to the fact that I live in SA and don't have a credit card. I am really sorry as I truly want you to win your bet so you can keep making ROMs for us.

For the ROMs you have already created, thank you very much.

And for anyone else who wants to send to ttran001 or any other developer you can use this as well.


***** And if this post is against any rules which I dont see any I will remove it .... ******


I was just trying to help.!

[PURESKILLZZZ]

****** GREAT NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!! ******



5.2org MMS/SMS working 100% ... The fix that ttran001 uploaded is the same identical file that is already in the rom . I tested his file , the file from 5.2org and the file from 5.3 biggie. All 3 are the same so I opted to use the file from 5.3 biggie as its working in the rom already.


Method 1


1.) Flashed 5.3 biggie to your phone.

2.) Run the network wizard

3.) Let network wizard restart phone.

4.) Send a MMS message to anybody.

5.) Let anyone send a MMS to you.

6.) Open Total Commander

7.) Goto \Windows

8.) Goto file thread_sms.htm

9.) Click File >> Properties

10.) Check box Change... Then check Read only , Hidden , System.

11.) Press OK.

12.) Soft Reset device.


Method 2

1.) Download my file Pureskillzzz thread file.rsr and extract thread_sms.htm . (at the moment its on my ftp)

2.) Copy it to the windows directory using activesync or Total Commander.

3.) Open Total Commander

4.) Goto \Windows

5.) Goto file thread_sms.htm

6.) Click File >> Properties

7.) Check box Change... Then check Read only , Hidden , System.

8.) Press OK.

9.) Soft Reset device.

You now have working threaded SMS/MMS in 5.2 org

****************** BUGS AND ISSUES ***********************
************************************************** ******

As the rom finished flashing and I was alining the screen. the start menu popped up. Hmmmmm will flash a second time later to see if this happens. Upon the 2nd restart of the rom after it does it pre-install apps I got a phone call but couldn't answer it and the phone locked momentarily. Working now. Yes still get the pop-up on alining the screen for the first time

GREAT !!!!! Activesync is working correctly now ..... I am still missing advance config here. OK a small note . So I choosed to change the splash screen and it worked flawlessly.

Been banging on the buttons to see what the phone will do ..... When the rom boots up it says 5.0 not 5.3 ... hmmmmm small bug. He hasnt looked at that at all ... Guess this home screen with the strange start where its all list instead of folders. I personally prefer folders dont like this list mess like horrible vista.

Ok the wifi is working correctly now. Able to use both browsers at once and update weather ... Just PERFECT ttran001 !

OK the MMS/SMS is not 100% but its working. You can't get the options menu to choose MMS settings. Ok since I been into this rom for a good while I will attempt the MMS fix so I can adjust the settings. Changed to v4.2.8.1 but the registry edit doesnt work here. After you edit the registry you cant send MMS at all.

Now with v5.0.31.7 you lose the abilty to alter it but can choose servers. In both versions there are still registry values missing ... Well it basically only affects what I want to do which is send larger files. .... HHmmmmm I will play with this another day.

So if you want to complain about a rom remember if you don't speak up and tell the cook what you do and don't like then don't say anything at all. The cooks here are doing this out of appreciation , admiration and love of the art of cooking. If you think it is so easy then put out your own rom.

Now remember I tested this on a t-mobile wing . A lot of these problems may not occur on all phones. So if you have a different phone please post your findings.

Now I have flashed this rom a total of five times on two different wings to see differences in setting up. At one time I had a sweet looking sexy comm manager now I get the t-mobile ugly one. Strange guess maybe it was a bug ... hmmmm very strange.

I seen people complain about the screen . Have a little patience. When the rom is installing and setting up the screen does not fit . Once all is complete it fits perfectly.

I installed oxismemory even with it already being installed as I feel that the pre-installed versions dont work well and I love this application.

Rom is looking very sweet now ...

**edit ** Ok one more little thing I noticed. When using TouchFlo and returning to the home screen the top bar is now showing . But the big issue with this is that it hides the top portion of all the ul screens. So any today screen or picture is covered by the top bar ... Trying to figure this one out now.

************************************************** ******
****************** THE BOTTOM LINE ***********************
************************************************** ******

The rom is impressive with great speed, Has a beautiful home screen even tho I got rid of it not my taste. Modding it now with ultimate launch and touchflo running together. And it is packed with plenty so ttran001 was being extra nice today.

All the buttons work from the comm manager screen which has been flawed in a few roms . The rom has power and is a good addition to ttran001 collection. Enjoy folks.

I hope my review of this rom helps many in their questions as I tried to cover as much space as possible. If you feel something is missing please make a note of it so for future note my reviews will be as full as possible. And once again thanks to ttran001 for allowing me to test his rom.

And a note to zcink Try this out ..

And a special note to itje. WE ALL LOVE YOU DONT STOP COOKING !!!!!!!!

****************** BUGS AND ISSUES ***********************
************************************************** ******

As the rom finished flashing and I was alining the screen. the start menu popped up. Same problem as in last rom.

GREAT !!!!! Activesync is working correctly now ..... I am still missing advance config here. OK a small note . So I choosed to change the splash screen and it worked flawlessly.

Been banging on the buttons to see what the phone will do ..... .

Ok the wifi is working correctly now. Able to use both browsers at once and update weather ... Just PERFECT ttran001 !

OK the MMS/SMS is not 100% but its working. You can't get the options menu to choose MMS settings. Ok since I been into this rom for a good while I will attempt the MMS fix so I can adjust the settings. Changed to v4.2.8.1 but the registry edit doesnt work here. After you edit the registry you cant send MMS at all.

Now with version 5.0.31.7 you lose the abilty to alter it but can choose servers. In both versions there are still registry values missing ... Well it basically only affects what I want to do which is send larger files. .... HHmmmmm I will play with this some more later.

Now for you folks who ask the same question 100 times. NO !!!!!! The MMS/SMS 1.2M hack doesn not work. YES !!!!! You have to apply the thread_sms hack inorder for threaded MMS/SMS to work.

So if you want to complain about a rom remember if you don't speak up and tell the cook what you do and don't like then don't say anything at all. The cooks here are doing this out of appreciation , admiration and love of the art of cooking. If you think it is so easy then put out your own rom.

Now remember I tested this on a t-mobile wing . A lot of these problems may not occur on all phones. So if you have a different phone please post your findings.

I have a sweet looking sexy comm manager not the the t-mobile ugly one. Thanks ttran001

I seen people complain about the screen . Have a little patience. When the rom is installing and setting up the screen does not fit . Once all is complete it fits perfectly.

I installed oxismemory even with it already being installed as I feel that the pre-installed versions dont work well and I love this application.

Rom is looking very sweet now ... Looks like his avator people so be happy ....

************************************************** ******
****************** THE BOTTOM LINE ***********************
************************************************** ******

The rom is impressive with great speed, Has a beautiful home screen even tho I got rid of it not my taste. Modding it now with ultimate launch and touchflo running together. And it is packed with plenty so ttran001 was being extra nice today.

All the buttons work from the comm manager screen with the sexy new look . . The rom has power and is a good addition to ttran001 collection. Enjoy folks. You can leave 5.3org alone now.

I hope my review of this rom helps many in their questions as I tried to cover as much space as possible. If you feel something is missing please make a note of it so for future note my reviews will be as full as possible. And once again thanks to ttran001 for allowing me to test his rom.

And a note to zcink Try this out .. You will like it mate ...... And robert if you ask any questions that I answered in my rom I will ignore you and flame you.

And a special note to itje. WE ALL LOVE YOU DONT STOP COOKING !!!!!!!!

And I cant forget papa who gave me a lot of lessongs in parts of rom development along with ivanmmj who is now holding class.


Well folks I guess this will be my rom testing template . Feel free to use it if you wish. They say copying is the biggest form of flattery.

Ok the rom test has begun. Yes you included the network wizard but i have gotten accustomed to roms auto starting it .The comm manager isn't on the usual button but thats a minor detail guess that goes with a persons choice. The rom feels light and smooth . The cube is refreshing to see it work out the box with no hang ups.

There is nothing in the Accessories Folder so don't see why thats is there. I love your collection of games as it gives me something to do if i am bored sitting somewhere. Total commander is what i use a lot is in the start menu but isnt in the programs list or anywhere else that I have seen.

MMS which is an extreme biggie to me works out the box ... That right there made me a happy camper. Core player which i like way better than windows was pre-installed another plus. Bluetooth went smoothly tested with Motorola H375 and HS850. both connected easily and reconnected on restart.
