Hello :)

There are lots of ROMs for Topaz to choose from, but none of them suite my needs. That's why I decided to create my own...

The general idea was to create 6.5.3 based ROM with Topaz 2.53 packages (so with Manila 2.5.20113030.0 and Topaz dialer).
There is also COM2 (with Start menu at top) version available. It has the same tweaks as 6.5.3 version. Differences between them are described in changelog.


The ROM looks pretty close to stock one but is tweaked to be as fast as possible and I removed as many bugs as I could found (also those introduced by HTC).

Now with kitchen. To start cook your own ROM just unpack content, run osKitchen.exe and select one of projects from Projects\HTC Topaz folder.

If you like my ROMs and wanna donate here is a link to do so:

There are two versions available - with HTC Messaging (QBUS00H) and without HTC Messaging (QBUS00).

This ROM was created using OS Kitchen.


Changelog:

QBUS22:
  • COM2 upgraded to 21909
  • Removed any task manager from COM2 (you can choose the one you want from CAB - downloads at the end of this post). Be aware that installing HTC Task Manager on ROM with HTC Messaging causes a bug: phone starts to freeze when rotating to landscape in HTC Messaging
  • Added Bubble Breaker to COM5
  • Kitchen released - link at the end of post

QBUS21:
  • Removed non english Manila language files (saves space)

This looks really well, only disadvantage is that it has HTC's messaging client 2.5 which is, based on my experience, unusable. Is it possible to remove this from your rom?

Hi, I'm also not fan of HTC Messaging.
The problem with removing it is that then we lose integration with Manila (no unreaded messages numbers at slidebar and SMS tab on Contact screen is not working).

Hi

If you look at Energy latest ROMs (NRG) he is using a HTC Messaging client that has less of these bugs and problems. Quite good.

Perhaps you can integrate that version of HTC Messaging into your ROM?

Cheers

Nice ROM qbus. :)

Very nice memory footprint.
I like the implementation of ShowCase
"No flipping clock"....I assume this means the clock doesn't insist on displaying the time -1hr and 4 minutes so it can flip back to the correct time?
"New TSK".....I don't know what this is.

Unfortunately this ROM shows me to be permanently roaming :-/

Hmm this is strange. Have you tried other ROMs based on 2.53 packages and/or on newest SYSes (like 23549)?

I haven't touched anything releated to operator settings so I believe this is a problem of HTC/MS rather then mine cooking?

I'm using official HTC Messaging for Topaz - this one is faster and more stable on our devices then Leo one.

I think I found the "problem". The "3G" switch is set to off by default. UK's 3 network doesn't support GPRS so enabling 3G appears to have fixed my problem :)

I would like to have the keyboard button at the bottom of the screen so that clicking it makes the keyboard disappear. It seems to be a common "fault" with 23xxx + ROMS that if you click the keyboard softbutton it just offers the various types of keyboard.

Oh....and automatically importing SIM contacts would be good :)

Yes, that's true. I've seen figure somewhere showing that it's less then 1% faster then original ones. However my subjective feeling is that when using Manila's slider it is a little smoother on NeoS drivers then on original ones.

For the keyboard issue - just move your finger a little more to the left edge of the keyboard icon ;).

There are two options to do that:

- just use original base ROM with Manila 2.1 and cook that (easier but worst effect) - for that case I think that we have already super ROM - it's Aman's TESS (however it's based on COM2).

- mix Manila 2.1 with 2.53 packages (to get all finger friendly improvments from that) - this option is better but requires more work, time and testing (nhathoa tried to cook such version but it contained some bugs).

nice work, any chance we would see com2 version?

Yes - this is possible. My first idea was to cook 6.5.3 ROM but since someone asked for COM2 I'll cook a ROM based on this line soon :).

A 6.5.3 rom with 2.53 drivers without manilla would be nice too if you got some spare time :) [no manilla but with comm manager, topaz dialer, keyboard, etc].
