Thanks to Polyrhythmic for his support and permission to continue to provide this build. Polyrhythmic's Original thread, Thanks also to Kallt_Kaffe for the use of his custom kernel which I have included in the download.

Zenity's Changes:

Integrated Camera update : Camera often FC's in Haret installs due to excessive startup times
Integrated Cell tower location and pin verification
Added dark themed build
Removed the following expired apps;
Astro
maps
facebook
nav launcher
(all these apps are available in Market)

For Nand users, NBH is set for panel2, 320x428 @ 143 density, use rogue tools to change density, if you prefer another resolution or if you need a different panel type you will have to edit the nbh using Loserskaters NBH Editor, and reflash it.

For advanced users: You can edit the NBH to reduce the system partition using the NBH editor, I suggest 82Mb minimum for /system, this will give more space on /data.

Created another Romantically Apocalyptic themed Splash screen exclusively for Polymod, download, rename as kaisimg.nbh, put on SD, flash, enjoy : Polymod/Zenity Bootsplash (16)

Having been asked about Donations, I would like to request that anyone wishing to should donate to Polyrhythmic, it is his build, I am only maintaining it.

(Note: the numbers in brackets following the download links are an infrequently updated download count)

Installation instructions.

Nand:

You must have HardSPL installed, recommended minimum version 3.29.

Recommended Radio version 1.65 or above.

MicroSD card must be formatted Fat32.

Download whichever themed version you prefer.
Unzip the downloaded file to a suitable temporary folder, then copy everything to SD card root.

You will now have an SD card with one file on root,(KAISimg.nbh), and one folder,(andboot), place this SD in your device and flash the NBH using bootloader method, ( if you are unsure of how to do this please read through Dukenukemx's excellent guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680518).

Once you have flashed the device you must remove the battery, then replace it and power on, once you have the scrolling text press and hold the centre of the lcd screen until you get the install menu, ( you can also use dpad centre button, or volume up button ).

Once in the installer menu check that sys on nand, data on nand are starred, then choose option 1: install (yes, you know you will wipe your present system, yes, you want to clear data).

Once the installer finishes choose quit, and wait until the initial boot completes, ( this will take a little time, but once you see the boot animation everything is going well).

This next stage is important, please read carefully, or your system will likely be unstable.

Once you reach the welcome screen, press the android, skip the intro, skip the sign in, press next to both the following screens, and once this is complete, wait, for at least 15 minutes, with this build ,(as with most deodexed builds), it is important not to dive in and mess with things, the system needs time to copy the odex files to cache, if you interrupt this you could get a load of fc's, and most likely have to reinstall.

Once you have completed the waiting stage, you are usually best to power down, and reboot, your system should now be ready to begin using.

Initial setup:

This is common to both haret and nand installs, and is my usual procedure with most android roms, it should help with both battery life and speed.

In settings;
In Sound and Display, uncheck Orientation.
Set animations to Some. (you may wish to leave this at All).
Add google account.

In Spare Parts;
Set Window and Transition animations to Fast.
Check Home app in memory.

Advanced options: These may yield additional performance.

Use either Compcache or Swap, using both may actually slow the system down, you will require an SD card that has been partitioned with a 64Mb swap partition for swap.

Installation Instructions.

Haret/SD:

You must be using at least Windows Mobile 6.1
Recommended radio version is 1.65 or above
MicroSD card must be formatted Fat32 and be at least 2GB

Download whichever themed version you prefer.
Unzip to a temporary folder, then copy the files to SD.

You may delete KAISimg.nbh from SD, it is not required for Haret installs.

Fisrtly you must rename one of the default-device.txt files to default.txt, or alternatively edit the default-device.txt file and save as default.txt.

What you may need to edit/add;

board-htckaiser.panel_type=x, panel type may be 1,2,or 3, it should be apparent on boot is you are using the wrong panel type, the screen may be wrongly coloured, or have odd pixels, streaks etc, reset the device, change this option and run haret.exe again.

mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 sets the screen resolution, default is 240 320, other common values are 320 428 and 320 480. (see lcd density).

lcd.density this also affects how the display looks, larger values make the everything on screen look smaller, default for 240x320 is 160, 320x428 is 144, 320x480 is 120,

board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=x sets the keyboard map, 0 is querty US, 1 is at&t Tilt, 2 is Nordic, 3 is azerty, 4 is qwertz.

Once you have edited and saved the default.txt file it is time to install it to SD.

run Haret.exe, once you see the scrolling text, press and hold the lcd screen centre, ( you can also use dpad centre, or volume up keys), until you get into the Installer menu.

Once in installer menu choose option 1: install, and yes, this will wipe any system on SD card that you may have previously installed, it will not wipe WM.

Choose yes to wipe previous system, and data, wait until the installer has finished and returned to the main menu.

Choose quit, and android will continue to boot.

This next stage is important, please read carefully, or your system will likely be unstable.

Once you reach the welcome screen, press the android, skip the intro, skip the sign in, press next to both the following screens, and once this is complete, wait, for at least 15 minutes, with this build ,(as with most deodexed builds), it is important not to dive in and mess with things, the system needs time to copy the odex files to cache, if you interrupt this you could get a load of fc's, and most likely have to reinstall.

Add google account.

In Spare Parts;

Advanced options: These may yield additional performance.

Use either Compcache or Swap, using both may actually slow the system down, you will require an SD card that has been partitioned with a 64Mb swap partition for swap.

Data ( 3G etc), under Haret: Notice that you may have to start a data connection in Windows Mobile before running Haret.exe, failing to start data May prevent 2/3G data from working correctly under Android.

Sounds like you've got some good things to add to Polymod that it's needed for a long time. Best wishes and have fun with the build!

Always had fun with your build poly, no matter what I tried, I always ended up re-installing it

I know you stated it in the other thread but what are all the changes you did to delta?

and is your download themed like the screenshots (those are gamma I think)...I loved the dark theme.

The first post is pretty much a placeholder at the moment, It will be evolving to reflect the status of 2.1D soon, I am working on the screenshots and changes at the moment and will update the first post as soon as possible.

Delta is now available in both light and dark themes, screenshots will follow soon

Absolutely top notch instruction and ROM.

Far more stable than my previous attempts with other ROM's. Ill be watching this closely.

Thanks a lot zenity.

Thanks, it has always been my favourite build, and just needed some updating to bring it back to life

I only received my Kaiser ( well, TytnII here) on monday. Ive gone through about half this subforum already Every other build I've tried managed to go fine until I put my sim in... then it went south from there....

Will see how it goes with this build once Ive tweaked as per your guide....
