Welcome to the "EnergyROM" thread !



This development thread is for my "Energy" custom firmware series for the HTC Diamond2 (Topaz) device.


The current build numbers and date can be seen in the title of this thread. I usually update the ROMs about twice a week, as new builds come down the pipe or as new software/updates are available.

I build my ROMs with four main goals.

• Eye candy ( I want my ROM to look great and for it to all flow together nicely)
• Speed !!!
• Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics
• Stability through private beta testing before public release

• The 21914 Build which is the most reliable, fast and bug free release. It has the Start menu button at the top left corner just like a stock ROM. I recommend you start with this first!

• The 24631 Build that's the latest in the 6.5.3 series with the Start menu button at the bottom left corner and big softkeys. These builds are not as stable or perfect, but they reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft. These are also much more finger friendly throughout.
  

Cookie Hometab based ROMs




Cookie 'Energy' style

• This is the best ROM version and the way Sense should have been designed by HTC
• Offers the biggest customization ability out of all versions. You can add/remove bars or items, arranges items on the homescreen any way you like
• Three built in lockscreens. "HD Mini" style, Manila style or Windows style
• 3 pages of quicklinks with configurable amount of shortcuts displayed
• 3 Homescreens to choose from, as seen in the above screenshots, all completely customizable !
• Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <

• This is the same as the Cookie version above, but with Dinik's glass theme applied on everything.
• Everything has been skinned, including Sense, the start menu items, the soft keyboard, parts of the dialer... etc

• This ROM has the white GTX theme applied.
• Android styled taskbar
• Matching dialer
• Matching start menu background and Action screen background
• GTX is a total reskin of the operating system, so expect a very different experience
• Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <

• This series retains the stock functionality of the Sense UI. The files have been compressed by "CFC" compression. making the UI lighter and faster.
• You have the choice of two styles.. "Energy" style where everything is blue and there's plenty of nifty apps cooked in, or "Reference" style where Sense is stock,
  everything is green and only basic apps are cooked in.

• It features a 3 screen, Android style, homescreen with widgets! The widgets can be placed ANYWHERE on the three screens.
• 75 Quicklink accessible on all tabs
• You should really visit the original thread for this mod shown on the next line to see all the features!
  
• Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <.

• This is a minimal ROM version without Sense in it. It's used primarily for people that like to customize the default 6.5 homescreen (Titanium)
• You can use it to install alternate homescreen interfaces like SPB Mobile Shell, etc
• Very low memory footprint and good battery life, but very simple and lacks a lot of features that you would otherwise have available in Sense...

• New Sense 2.5 core, to address Sense freezing, Twitter scrolling and lockscreen delays
• Sense seems to me much faster now
  
• Some of the "skewed to the left" icons from the previous update are properly aligned now
• New lockscreen graphics for the GTX ROM (thanks to Livven for the inspiration )

• First Manila 2.5 Leo based ROM released! (first Chef to release a custom ROM with Sense 2.5)
  

• It will copy shortcuts (.lnk files) found in \XDA_UC\Start Menu\ to the device's start menu folder (\windows\Start Menu) in the hierarchy that it finds on the storage card. For example: Let's say you have a navigation package on the storage card, like Navigon. If you make a shortcut to the navigon.exe file as Navigon.lnk and copy it to \XDA_UC\Start Menu\GPS\ as "Navigon.lnk" then on a fresh ROM install it will copy any shortcuts it finds there to the same location on the device, so it'll end up in \Windows\Start Menu\GPS\. This works for other folders on the Start Menu as well. Just put the shortcuts in \xda_uc\Start Menu\ in the folders you will like the shortcuts to appear to, on the device.

• It will copy a custom splash screen from \Storage Card\XDA_UC\welcomehead.192.png to \windows automatically and overwrite the one in the ROM.

• It will copy a custom Sense background found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\sense\wallpaper_sense.png to the device and set that wallpaper as default in Sense. So rename your wallpaper as "wallpaper_sense.png" and drop it in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\sense\ and on the next ROM flash that wallpaper will become your wallpaper in Sense.

• It will automatically import your PPCbackup (*.pib) file found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

• It will install custom XDAS scripts found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

• It will silently install CAB files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

• It will install special CAB files that require user input (such as Agreements or any type of prompt) found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\SD

• It will silently import REG files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

• It will silently install REG files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\Exporter, as exported by my own Settings Exporter, ONLY if the "automatic" file is also present in that folder (and it most cases it should be, enable that option in the Settings Export application's menu)

• It will silently import XML files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

• It will silently import CER files (usually Exchange certificates) found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

• It will silently run custom MSCR files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\

Cheers will definately give it a try, erm why does your music collection look too similar to my 90s college collection lol!! Some classics there!!

Cheers
