Like all the roms I build in the past, all junks will be remove in the beginning for the base/lite rom. And eventually comes w/ a super full rom w/ Chinese support.

Installation:
1. Install HardSPL
2. Use RUU tools in or Micro-SD method written by me

Some cabs and extra files you may need.

1. UC Package w/ removed panels, games, Opera (tweaked to use ramdisk) ...etc. Another good UC example by ianl8888 here.
2. UC ROM SDConfig.txt Builder. Highly recommend tools for UC process.
3. HTC task manager. Install and soft-reset
4. Camera shutter sound
5. Other SIP for CE star (2.4 or above mulit-language version): Japanese (extract to /Windows), Zhuyin注音 ,ChangJei, pinyin

How to use my SDConfig package:

1. Extract the zip file to the root of yr micro-SD card and you 
should have a directory structure w/ SDConfig.txt under "\Storage Card":

\Storage Card
     |
     |---UC--|
             |---apps (folder)
             |---config (folder)
             |---License (folder)
             |---panel (folder)
             |---shortcut (folder)
             |---Myinfo.reg.xml (file) 

2. Myinfo.reg.xml is for personal information Name, 
email that can be generate easily w/ the tool I suggest above.

3. Edit SDConfig.txt to suite your need for what to install 
after hard-reset.  And put the needed files in corresponding folders.

4. My supplied SDConfig.txt example will: 
    a. add back the Xpanel w/ panels apps I want 
    b. install Google map, opera ...etc
    c. Copy/move shortcut for start menu, and opera's config 
        to use ramdisk as cache and max for 9 tabs instead of 3
    d. Copy the license file (NOT INCLUDED) for Resco Apps 
       (Explorer, picture viewer ..etc), Core player, Gamin Mobile 
        XT ... etc

Bugs and workaround:

1. New Manila (TF3D 2 w/ landscape) does have quite a few minor issues. Any bugs/issues report with the new Manila/TF3D goes here.
2. The same w/ the HD Camera apps. Any bugs/issues with the HD Camera report here.
3. IGO8 can't detect R2A rom's device type and crash. put the following in sys.txt:
   [device]
   type="ALIAS_XPERIA"
4. TTS on IGO8 may not work w/ TF3D 2 active. Run "No Today Plugin" to deactivate it before start iGo or use mortscript example from here.
5. (Fixed in 2.2) Data Disconnection takes too long in Comm Manager. Fixed w/ attached comm manager taken from HD.
6. In 2.8/2.9/2.95, the path to X1 Camera is losted. Fix:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SonyEricsson\Camera]
"ApplicationName" = "\..\Windows\CameraRunner.exe"

Tweaks:

1. For all WM rom, SIP change may become slow after lots of software installed. Here is the solution that works by re-import the CLSID in registry. (Backup first!!!)
2. Ramdisk Size:
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RamDisk]
   "Size"=16
3. Sliding keyboard to wake up the device
4. Re-assign XPanel button
5. How to edit TF3D 2 branding
6. Steps to get Weather in calendar works (for V2.5 or above)
7. 外掛注音相關輸入法 鍵盤對應問題 (hardware keyboard mapping w/ Chinese Input)

I want to be the first to flash

[Reversedhex]

sounds promising because i liked your previous rom (1.07)

but why is it based on x1a?

[romeo0119]

Alright R2 base, I cant wait to test it out. Are you doing the first one lite and full one after?

[sve1313]

This is a good news!

[nightsoul666]

[dawongster]

jack,

i need se panel 2. i know u wont put it in the rom, but can u at least separate it from the fish panel cab. i like it due to its simplicity and the fact that i can view two clocks at the same time eg hk and sf simultaneously. please! this would help a lot...
