[19/10/09] TomAngel-ROM-GERMAN-WM6.5-23016 M2D+Titanium initial BETA!

[TomAngel]

Hi, all German Friends...

I'm proud to release my initial Beta of a German WM6.5 for our Polaris!

This is my first attempt to cook a Rom so if you love your Rom, don't use mine :rolleyes:

For sure there are still many bugs and half translated apps, but I appologize for it.
I will correct it in further releases.

My Rom is based on gullums Kitchen with WWE 6.5, so I think it will not brick our device.

I only tested it by myself, so I can not guarantee for others.

It is really very BETA.

If someone is able to give some screenshots, feel free to add some :D:eek::D

It is nearby like Kostas244.
I messed up 3g-Dialer, Windows live and facebook app.

I added custom PC-like Startup animation and Welcome, modified BootPackage 1.2 by Wajk.

Radio must be 1.59.xx.xx (1.59.46.12 recomended)

Dowload : deleted, too early beta!

Thanks and Credits will follow...

Sorry, but Rom Version isn't 21016 but 23016

Hmm, no offense, I appreciate your efforts, but IMO it doesn't make too much
sense to release a language mixed up ROM before getting it fully translated.
However, I wish you best of luck with getting it to final stage.

Cheers, Olioaglio

Hi Olioaglio,

I think it is better to show, that someone is interested in releasing ROMs for the Polaris.
There are not many Devs left that release ROMs for our Device...
Android is nearby finished...
And all the others base on the same kitchen and build.

I am new in customizing ROMs, so all the beginning is difficult, and I want to do my best. Even there are 6.5 ROMs in German for nearby all the other devices, except our Polaris. And that's (Polaris) not as bad as it seems.

By the way,... I love your ROMs, I've tested every since Oct.2008.
Thank you for your great work, especially in releasing ROMs in my native language.

If you like to help me, it would be a great homor for me to get support by someone who really knows what he does.

Hi Olioaglio,

Hi, I think that's right. I'm interested in learning how to develop ROMs with WM6.5 with the "new" Kitchen from Ervius/Bepe. In the past I developed some ROMs based on the old Polaris-Kitchen with WM 6.1. Cause I still have a good ROM based on WM6.1 I stopped developing new versions until now. Perhaps with WM6.5 I will restart developing. First I have to learn how to dump and how to build ROMs with the new kitchen stuff. Then the next step would be porting WM6.5 to language 0407 and then add some applications, Reg-Hacks etc.

You all know that's a long way for a lonesome cowboy. If there are many developers sharing knowledge it would be much easier.

Keep fighting...

Tom

[TomAngel]

Thanks tomduke!

I think I did wrong releasing a ROM in so early beta.
But I'll keep on trying in a German 6.5 ROM, and in most times I finally succeed.


Nice to see that I am not alone... in whishing a translated 6.5 Polaris

Thank you :cool:

Hi TomAngel,
thank you for trying to build a german rom.
I´m searching so long for it. I hope you can handle it.

Every Cocker,cock a new Rom. I think, it´s the best, you translate a good WWE Rom for the first.
The Polaris is old and my pda goes to my wife when HTC HD2 is in the shop. And the last WM 6.1 Rom´s are realy good,fast and stable.

But when you cock a verygood WM6.5 German Rom for Polaris, you are TOP :)

[DreamCrasher]

hope still comming!

[TomAngel]

Hi DreamCrasher,

the development is still in Process...

I've built a jointventure with an other user to get a working Rom.
But the Release will not come under my name... But follow the threat, and I will announce a Release here. :cool:

Be patient...

[strowbowse]

Well, I am waiting for this as well :)

[TomAngel]

Hi strowbowse,

nice to here...

Development is still in progress.

Up now there ist a woking Manilla from MEGA in Ger (with nearby all Cabs from Mega including new Camera), Opera 9.7 in German,
cooked in CorePlayer and TouchCommander, EzInput 2.1.
Thats it so far... :eek:

But at the moment there are still too many bugs for a Release.
But I'm working on it with an other User from here.
Additional the ROM needs a bunch of graphical costomization...

Hope you stay with us...

Greetz Tom :cool:

Shure there should be more, but I don't know now.
But I will do, when there will be the Release !

[ch-grimm]

... looks nice.
Especially working weather tab is great. Seems to be problem in some other ROMs. Great.

I only fear that my wife will not like the background ;-)

Waiting for release :-)

Hi, nice that you like it.

Home Weather works because of Mortscript, it's still a bug of Manila.

In the case of the Theme, we will release one or two alternative CABs of Manila Skins to better fit for the girls :D !

Release is near, eventually at the end of the next week.
Build will be 23016 or 23081, SteveP86 is working on it!!! :cool:

[Bugzbunny]

Hi,

why you did not move the start menu button to the bottom bar? I used several different Rom and most comfortable for me was that start menu button.

Greetz, Bugz

[TomAngel]

Hi all,

release is near...

SteveP86 and I will release this German 6.5 ROM tomorrow in the evening.
There are still some minor bugs, but the others WWE have too!
There will be a few post installation fixes for some of them.

But I think we did our work for all the others

Stay tuned, release will open a new threat, link will be posted here...

@bugzbunny : If you like to move the startbutton to the bottom feel free to move it. we like it as it is. everyone should decide for it's own.

[locuter]

How long will it take ... ? ;-)

[TomAngel]

Hi, the ROM will be released today at 20.30 MEZ this evening. The Link will be posted here...

[TomAngel]
