After flashing many many many ROMs looking for a relatively clean one, I was never truly satisfied with what was out there, so I decided to make my own ROM. I've probably spent a little too much time on this, but I'm really happy with how it turned out ;). This ROM, simplicity, is my take on what a Rhodium stock ROM should be. It's fast, stable and pretty. And now it's up to you to make it your own :) Enjoy!

This ROM is cooked for GSM devices only.
Description:

  • Windows build:
    • 21916 - Start menu on the top
    • 29017 - Start menu on the bottom
  • Sense: 2019 CFC with latest Co0kie's Home Tab mod
  • Base: Stock Rhodium 2.07/2.10 ROMs

Removed all the garbage/bloat found in stock ROMs and added some basic necessities.​

Downloads:

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have used Hard-SPL before flashing any ROM. I also recommend you to use Task 29 each time before flashing any ROM. Also note that this ROM will boot with the radio off. Turn it on via the Comm Manager.

simplicity basic

Of course, many thanks go out to all of the xda-developers forum. I used to have a list here, but there really are too many people who have helped out to fit on a list. So lets hope this community stays great. :)

Quick review

Ok, so far this ROM is uber fast!, I don't know what you did special but most WM6.5 ROMs with sense and CHT run considerably slower than this. Also the memory at first boot was very good with 91 mb free, which again I have never seen with Sense& CHT running. The only thing that I see that needs to change ( my opinion) is the signal bars could be larger. It was great to have CHT & the editor loaded at first boot. Thanks for your work!

Very clean rom. I agree it runs considerably faster than most roms with CHT and Sense running. My only strife is Lack of marketplace app and My Phone.

Though its not a deal breaker, Swype would be nice as well :)
Definitely keeping an eye on this rom.

Yes, I can confirm the phone number issue.

My first impressions of this ROM:
- Very fast. Very pleased with that;
- No bulky apps. Really pleased with that;
- I'm missing a battery remaining percentage, instead of a visual battery;
- The phone number issue. This is a very irritating bug, because I don't want to answer all incoming phone calls. Maybe this is a quick fix, else I have to revert to NRGz ROMs.
- I've installed Opera Mobile 10: It's a lot faster than the included version. Maybe you can cook it in the next release?

Maybe the Facebook tab is a welcome addition to this ROM or if someone has an easy way to install this (cab?)? I can understand that not everyone uses Facebook and that this ROM should be without too many apps.

I've setup the phone with the setting in my signature. I had to install PHM Regedit to add the SlideWakup value.

Keep up the good work. I really like this initial ROM.

I am also going to be monitoring this ROM, right now I want something that is simple and fast.

1st time that I am going to flash my tilt 2, and I just want something to speed my phone up.

I'm glad to see all this feedback so quickly :) I'll try to fulfill all the requests made as soon as possible (probably tomorrow, its 12AM over here).

This will probably be added in the next version:
  • Caller ID Fix
  • Microsoft My Phone
  • Marketplace
  • Battery Percentage
  • PHM Regedit
  • Maybe Swype? If enough people ask I definitely will ;)

As for the fix, here's a quickfix for you guys. Instructions:
  1. Open arkswitch and go to processes (swipe your finger left).
  2. Search for cprog.exe tap it and tap "Kill" (you might have to do this twice, until you don't see it in the list anymore).
  3. Now run the cab attached.
  4. Restart.
  5. Enjoy! :)

Personally I can live without swype and myphone. And while I like marketplace it's easy enough to add so I don't think it needs to be added either.

I like how light and fast it is. I would just get the caller id fix in the next release and maybe remove Opera, since most people are going to install either mobile 10 or mini 5.

The home page for IE sucks, what about using the standard one?

Definitely swype.

Can you release a maxsense edition too please?

Other than that, your above planned changes look nice.
