|EXCA|ROM|WWE| ** EnergyROM Series 1.0 21048 - HTC Snap based ROM ** || Build 52409 |

[NRGZ28]

Hi and welcome to my ROM thread. This is RC2 (release candidate 2) of my Snap based ROM for the Excalibur (Dash, Dopod, etc).

The XIP (kernel) and SYS (main system files) are directly ported from HTC newest handset, the Snap.

This ROM includes only the stock applications for now (with the exception of a few things, like omapclockset and celetask) as it's meant to be a community based ROM where we can ALL work together, chip in and make suggestions to make the fastest and best ROM for the Excalibur.

To activate the weather panel, use the Activate Weather.cab in the "\My documents" folder on the phone and reboot.

The pagepool is set at 8 megs (up from the stock 4) for better speed and general "snappiness". You can lower it yourself by using the pagepool_changer application on the ROM's nbh file. I like mine at 8 and could care less about available RAM as long as the phone is fast and responsive

I will add more as more feedback is provided, but for now let's test this first release and see how it performs I hope you like it.

INSTRUCTIONS for flashing:

You can look at this great guide found here or you can follow my instructions below...

Hell, look at both to make sure you're doing this right!!

1. Run Auto.bat included in the archive. It should resent a black command prompt window.

2. Make sure you remove your storage card from the phone before the next steps.

3 .Follow the instructions in the black window. Do NOT reboot when the SDA unlocker tells you to reboot the phone. It's not necessary.

4. You might get a prompt asking you if you want to run the spl program. Just say yes. At that point you should get a white screen.

5. If for any reason you're not seeing a white screen, you did something wrong and you need to try again.

6. Flash the ROM following the instructions in the flashing utility.

You can expect the phone to be "stuck" on the green windows mobile screen for about 2 1/2 minutes the first time. After that, it should only take about 40-45 seconds for the phone to reboot.

INSTRUCTIONS for recovery in case something goes wrong:

Turn your phone completely off. While pushing the camera button, plug in your usb cable. The tricolor, bootloader screen will come up and you can flash your regular OEM ROM which can be downloaded from one of the stickies.


I recommend flashing the modified bootloader made by jockeyw2001. It's attached to the third post.
What it does is, it CID unlocks your phone, so you don't have to use the softSPL everytime you want to flash a ROM. It also makes recovery from a bad flash much easier, where you dont have to hunt for your original manufacturer's ROM to load in order to resurect the phone.

I recommend flashing the hacked bootloader attached to this post to make future flashings easier, as there will probably be many revisions to this ROM (depending on YOUR input).

Nice! Now if only my replacement battery would get here already!

Two questions... (1) what version of Java is it running, (2) does Innercircle work?

 

[johnnylavah]

the transparency menu looks pretty slick!

Will test and report soon as I can...

Cheers,

Jeodek stock.. I know.. I'll change it in the next build

And yes, innercircle works

However YouTube and the Album don't... so we'll see about that :/

 

[MrBraun]

Tnx for this rom NRGZ28!

Just one things:

1) How about the clock into top bar? (into left of battery when i go into options....);

2) Can u add a CHOME Slim?

Tnx in advance for the answer!

 

[NRGZ28]

I will add those if I can find them anymore. Anybody got a cab for the am/pm version of clockontop ?

 

[Empel1960]

Hi NRGZ,

I've been using your ROM's for a while, this looks fine, a couple of issues,

1- No bluetooth
2- Wifi doesn't work, wifiinit is on the startup but once you try to activate it hangs in there

This if you use the connection manager on the panel if you go to the start menu and use the connection manager it works fine both of them

Thanks for your hard work

Enrique

Sadly I don't have an operable phone to test at the moment... to those of you who have flashed... how does it run compared to the Rose roms?

 

[ikando2on2]

good

its real good but there is one thing you cant add my favs anymore like 1.7 and other thing that we could add before from chome?????

 

[Adaho0]

few minutes after first flash and look...
Looks really great Boot fast, seeking network fast, ROM fast as hell
Settings>Phone>Band select didn't work
Frozen when Menu>Contacts>Add contact, after remove battery works fine.
After change HTC Panel to Sliding panel and restart, change back to HTC Panel in 5 min...
BTW seems to be great ROM
My Regards

Great Work

This is by far the most asthetically pleasing rom i have used yet. i have to use my phone for business so have already flashed back for now but i cant wait for the final realease ha. as for bugs the only ones i found were that streaming media had no visual when playing and i could not get a data conection when trying to use opera mini but ie worked fine.Oh and also i could not use the NRG rinku cab either just fyi.

I can replicate that.I can turn both bt and wifi on/off with both comm managers no problem. Although I don't recommend using the built in ugly, microsoft one. Use the HTC one on the Start menu

its real good but there is one thing you cant add my favs anymore like 1.7 and other thing that we could add before from chome?????

1.7 is one ROM, this is a completely DIFFERENT ROM... Thank you
It's not like I took their ROM and "remade" it. I made this from scratch

Yeah, there's no band select because this isn't a 3G phone, so there's no bands to select really. I will remove that option in the next version

 

[thousandlegs]

Flashing now. I'll report with any issues that I find. Looks great though.

 

[uansari1]

Since you're taking input... is there any chance you could include BaseHue, Resco Explorer and the SMSToolPack? The first two I use extensively, and the SMSToolPack would just be a "nice to have" since we all love flashing ROMs so much.

Also, does the HTC Sliding Panel homescreen pull the panel icons from bronzeres.dll?

On a sidenote, I actually took a look at your ROMs for the Raphael and was floored. I'm not surprised to see such an aesthetically pleasing ROM find it's way to our phones.
