Welcome to my kitchen!



Here's what's on the menu today...




Today I'm serving up an HTC Blackstone (HD) ROM, based on Windows Mobile 6.5. The current build number and date can be seen in the title of the thread.

I build my ROMs with four main goals.

• Eye candy
• Speed !!!
• Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics
• Stability through private beta testing before public release

I preconfigure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go, how I'd want it. So, expect the backlight to be set at the maximum brightness, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set. Doing it this way, makes for a nice ROM that's ready out of the 'box'.

You will find a new ROM posted here every few days, as I always update them with the latest "ingredients" that come down the pipe, from either Microsoft or HTC. Because of that, I recommend learning to backup your settings with either Sashimi or UC (User Customization). I also provide an example script to use to save your email settings in one of the posts below.



You will find TWO core versions of my ROM.

• The 21864 Build is from the OEM COM2 Tree and is the most reliable and bug free release. I recommend you start with this first!

And...

• The 23081 Build that's the latest in the 6.5.1 series with the Start/Close buttons at the bottom. These builds are not as stable but they reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft.

You can "follow me" on Twitter for the latest updates! Click here!

If you don't see the ROM in the download directory, it either means I haven't uploaded it OR I'm not making one for the current release
yet.
Please don't ask in the thread when it's going to be uploaded or when I'm going to make one. It'll be there as soon as I can get it out

Its cool though as need to charge my battery anyway!!!

Last EnergyROM i tried was buggy so hope this really hits home... HTC are really doing well with these homescreen animations...

I hate Twitter though and would really like a Facebook Tab... maybe something we will see in future releases by HTC>>????

one can only hope!
