Update - 04/14/2010: See this post by AstainHellbring for the latest update on this project.

Update-05.31.09: Thanks for your votes. I see some don't care about this ROM and most do. Considering the feedback, we're moving forward with the project.

Thank you in advance for your support and donations.

Well people, if I don't do something to keep my mind busy I think I'm going to go crazy with my situation so here goes.

_-::Brought to you by the Elite Project Team::-_

* AstainHellbring
* mrvanx
* cmonex
* Chainfire
* Olipro
* LTxda
* DaveShaw
* Other core members TBD at a later time, if/when needed

::Initial Project Goals::
- HardSPL!
- Better Device Experience: Produce an "out-of-the-box" ROM for professionals/power users with...
- Increased functionality: Release a fully loaded ROM and a vanilla ROM. The project's RC releases will be fully loaded. I believe that if you test a fully loaded ROM and optimize it very well, when you strip the excess baggage it'll perform that much better. :)
- More stable: Release a ROM that is more stable than the stock, not too difficult to do, but ensure the stability is there when you have to push your device.
- Enhanced Memory Management: Ensures you can push your device when you need to without out of memory problems. Not always 100% possible due to third party product flaws but we do our best.
- Superior Battery Life (not always possible but we're going to give it a good go at it)
- Boost speed: When you want the device to respond it better.
- Possibly extend the ROM to the CDMA version of the device.

::What we need from the community::
- Donations: As with all of our other projects, we'll need donations to get devices to make this happen. Many of you know the team from interacting with us on projects related to the Athena, Shift, Raphael, etc. If you need a reference check out our other projects and what others have to say. Our ROMs aren't for everyone but those that are looking for a better and more functional experience often choose the Elite end product for their needs.
- Involvement: Your involvement is imperative to the project's success. We want feedback, suggestions and lots of testing. We want the ROM to be put through the paces and for the community to report real world issues. We want your suggestions as to what freeware is useful to you and why. We include a good deal of freeware for much more functionality than a stock ROM but there are many products out there that we haven't come across, this is where the community support helps.
- Help Others: Help answering questions for those new to the community or Windows Mobile devices or HTC devices for that matter. Help directing people to the answers so the core team can focus on continued development efforts, etc.

...more to come soon...

Not that it directly benefits me, but an interesting prospect would be getting GSM to work on the sprint branded Rhodium, which according to HTCs FCC listing has GSM disabled...

Anyway, you have a yes from me, I'd love to run an elite ROM, and I'd loved to be involved with it's production if at all possible! :)

I second what l3v5y said. I'll be getting the T-Mo variant of the TP2 and would love to see (and maybe work with) the initial (and amazing) work that the Elite team does with new HTC devices.

In other words, yes :D

Just a question. Don't know how you guys cook/build roms. I think it will be based on existing roms..

Since the touch pro 2 is going to get upgraded to wm 6.5, will this be the OS you guys will use?

And since it isn't release yet (fully functional) for the touch pro 2, are you guys able to make a good product with wm 6.5 or do you wait for the update to be released?

regards.

We will most likely be going with wm6.5. This will be up to the cook to decide for sure but most likely wm6.5

Just wondering, is there going to be anything similar for the Topaz?

I'm more likely to get a Topaz (it's cheaper :D) but would still love some Elite Project goodness!
