A few days ago I posted something on L26 V5 Diamond thread. It was either a very broad subject or a very naive one that nobody cared to write something in reply. Maybe I shouldn't have posted there.
Now I bring the subject here in a separate thread hoping that we would all share our views and experiences with regard to Original/Official WM6.1 ROMs vs the cooked ones. I already apologize if the subject doesn't deserve a thread and leave it to mods to decide whether the thread should remain or be closed.
Here's what I'd posted there:
So far as bugs are concerned, who's the culprit : build 19588.1.1.4 ? or L26_K_D_V5 ??
It seems an error is repeating so often & so regularly that it's becoming a systematic error. What am I talking about?
Well, we usually get so much focused on L26_XXX ROM or Dutty's_XXX ROM ...etc. that we totoally forget about the "Original/Official" ROMs these cooked ones are based on.
Somewhere in the devine XDA text , God once said :
Flash an "original/official" ROM / HR / flash the XXX cooked ROM / HR
The above is now a universally accepted verdict among us frequent ROM flashers. But how many of us do stay upon the "Original/Official" ROM - whether HTC or AT&T ...etc - for 10 minutes (or 10 seconds for that matter !!) ??
We flash the "Original/Official" ROM (whatever version it is - though , we generally tend to flash the Latest Original/Official one) only for the sake of the above said verdict and certainly not to see how that original ROM works on our devices. Understandably, this happens because we're in a hurry to flash the beautiful cooked ones.
What is my point?
How many of the rulings we pass (and the bugs we report) on L26_K_D_V5 have been tested (over a period of a week or so) upon the "Original/Offical" ROM the V5 is based upon (i.e. CE 5.2.19212 Build 19588.1.1.4) ?
Perhaps it's time that someone with an authoritative knowledge of ROMs takes the list of reported bugs/issues of V5, flashes the Build 19588.1.1.4 , rests upon it for a while , and sees if these are native issues of the "Original/Official" ROM or Leo's V5.
Does it sound too idiotic and naive? Maybe. But at least I can claim that I have not seen such thorough comparison between these two specific ROMs anywhere in the forum. Of course, the wise redbandana (God bless him) usually brings us news of (and introduces to us) new Original/Official Kaiser ROMs in separate threads. But what I mean is thorough comparison between these two specific Original/Official and Cooked ROMs.
Cheers
i see your knoweldge and believe that you are on to something, i don't remember what ROM i was on cause i have flashed almost all of them, but when i went to the official of the same build a lot of the same errors were being seen. most times as long as the chef knows of these problems in the official rom they try to cook the fixes into their version but it is not easy to see every bug in a rom by yourself.

the fact is , up in the heaven , all mods/chefs/very_senior_members know all about these things. My point was to open up a window for us mortals down here to have a clearer idea about what we see in (and pass judgements on) cooked roms.
The undeniable truth is that each chef cooks his rom on a specific original version/build and a clearer knowledge of the original built in each case (and a comparison between the two) allows us mortals to have a better understanding of what the chef has actually done in his rom.
As a very minor and silly example, while in L29 V5 Diamond I am struggling to to see why the "disconnect" button in GPRS connectivity bubble is missing, it would be helpful to know whether this is the "default" option of the original built or is it Leo's - and if it is Leo's, what are the merits/faults of his choice.
You may ask why I don't do such thorough survey myself ? Well, to be honest, I would really die to have such extensive knowledge and expertise. But the fact is, some people are savvys and gurus and some are not. It takes me a lifetime to be as knowledgeable as Dutty or Leo or Alex ...etc. I just hope that in here each of us can bring just a little piece of his/her info to share with others on the subject of this comparison.
Well, I've been using HTC original ROMs for a long time, so here's my report:
Original HTC WM 6.0:
- Great radio (1.27.12.17), GPS fix fast, good battery life
- Skype works
- Cleartype works OK on landscape
- No missing G icon or disconnect button when you click the connection icon
- Feels fast enough (a lot of RAM free)
Original HTC WM 6.1 released on may
- Less than 60 MB RAM available on boot
- Bad radio (1.65.16.25), problems connecting to WiFi with WEP enabled, slow GPS fix
- Skype does not work
- Cleartype does not work correctly on landscape
- Does not feel faster, needs new SPL to avoid random freezes
- No missing icons / apps
Original HTC 3.02
- My favourite unless Nothrills comes up with something better
- Excelent radio (1.58.26.20), best GPS and WiFi
- Skype does not work
- Landscape mode works OK
- Camera can be easily patched or updated to 5.04
All of them come with Office and Onenote, Windows Live, and usual utilities
All of them can be tweaked with KaiserTweak or AdvancedConfig and you get a pretty much fast and estable ROM that just works.
No screen redraw problems, no blank screens, no missing buttons, no missing apps...

It's amazing that while reading your report on Original HTC WM6.1 , I suddenly felt as if I was reading the threads of some of the new cooked kasier roms! Everything you said (and a lot not mentioned here) are exactly the same problems reported in those threads over and over again.
So next time when one reports in , for example, Dutty's new rom thread that : "Skype is not working" , or "the cleartype in landscape bug" he should know that these are exactly the same issues in the original 6.1 and has nothign to do with Dutty's rom.
I agree with you so much. Amazingly to Cook a rom is a few files added here, a few files deleted. Put in what you want, make a few tweaks to the registry and Whaaa Laaa.
AMazingly, WM6.1 has a lot of bugs. Probably not what Microsoft expected when they developed the software. The landscape issues I try to tell everyone over and over it has nothing to do with what the Cook did, its a WM6.1 problem.
I do not use skype but I am assuming the same thing. I think in this thread, we should add the most common problems that we have so we can start looking into them more deeply.
Obviously the cooks inherit the bugs of the ROMs they use as base.
HTC finally released an official WM 6.1 ROM for the Kaiser, with "improved graphics" but at a cost.
- Bad radio. 1.65 radios are not better than 1.27 or 1.58. Ask anyone about GPS fix or battery.
- They changed a display routine so it's faster, but they screwed cleartype on landscape mode, that was working on previous HTC ROMs
- A lot less memory available, and I do not see a big speed increase in return
- The ROM feels heavier than previous one, the screen switches in one move, but the total time to do the switch is longer than previous ROMs
- Skype does not work, it was working on WM 6.0
Some of these bugs have been corrected by cooks when adding files from other builds. HyperDragon III works OK on landscape, ROMs from L26 and Dutty work with Skype... But they introduce other bugs like the missing G icon, or disconnect button.
I hope they interchange their findings so we finally have a ROM where everything works. I don't care if it gets 1432 or 1512 points on some benchmark, if HSDPA does not work, or the device soft-resets while playing MP3, then I'm not going to use that.
Reading all of this makes me wanna downgrade to 6.0. Until we have a working Android, that is...
Just wanna share with you as I am using an official ROM for a long time now.
Original ROMs are the best as they have every thing working. Yes everything, sometimes a minor bugs are annoying like I was unable to send a vcard as sms using one of the super ROMs.
I think the only point is tweaking. If we tweak the original ROM they will perform as good as the cooked one.
As much as the chefs change in ROM as much as we get bugs. My opinion is chefs should concentrate on main issues and always release lite versions leaving options for users.
I have to admit that I have learnt a lot from cooked ROMs which helped me to tune the original ROM to my best.

ryncppr, apart from the need to learn more about Original roms, i also came across another strange fact that is widely ignored.
Does anyone care "what" original rom to flash before flashing his desired cooked one? I read many of the threads ; it seems that nobody does pay any attention to this matter. BUT the type of Original rom we flash before flashing the cooked one (depending on our geographical location and the make of our phones), DO CERTAINLY COUNT A LOT.
This is what I noticed and just posted on Dutty's V1 thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398271&page=90
Technically, I don't understand why this happens (perhaps you as a good chef could explain this matter in technical terms) , but I have no doubt now that it is crucially important what original rom we flash first.

A big problem is that people do not believe you need to hard reset after you flash a ROM. You do. THe process that WM has built in only clears the memory and storage files, leading to useless junk that gets left behind.
I used to think if I flashed a ROM it was completely getting rid of the last rom, which has found not to be the truth. Though a clearing system file is now shown on the screen, it is not truly getting rid of all the old files, hence the problems with putting ROM over ROM.
bad practice
I know it's a bad practice to have, but I very rarely hard reset my phone after a flash, and I have to admit I never flash the originals back to my phonebefore flashing. once in a great while I hit a weird glitch that I can't seem to find a solution for, and so I hard reset to fix it. I guess part of it is that i'm so impatient that I can't stand to wait a few extra minutes. I check the site anytime i'm not working and if there is a new rom available I've downloaded and flashed before looking through the bugs found. I guess i'm gonna start going to originals first and hard reset every time, now to help on that, is there a way that we know of that will automatically do the hard reset one time right after a flash? I know UC wouldn't work cause it runs after the hard reset/flash so it would loop. if we could cook the rom to auto reset once and one time only it would help out those that ocasionally "forget."
on a side note, this was typed through my phone so sorry for any spelling errors there might be and thank you ryncppr for a great rom.

The truth is you are a big boy and can handle the giltches/issues. Just take a look at hundreds of posts out there in which people complain and report about some of the most unthinkable issues (e.g. "my phone resets itself every 5 minutes" (Jesus Christ) !! or "when I push the call button my phone starts media player"!! perhaps soon we should expect posts that will read: "after disconnecting the bluetooth headset, our washing mashing stopped working" !
I know that for example Dutty is very serious on his belief on flashing original/HR/cooked/HR every single time one wants to flash a rom - and for god's sake this man really knows what he's talking about.
Sometimes very bizarre things happen when one ignores the above must-do process.
However, my main object here was to invite people to share their bits of info on what a specific original rom does (or might do) to our devices when it's flashed prior to a specific custom rom , and why.
and btw, your spellign is brilliant.

I'm afraid your post has nothing to do with this thread - just wonder why u posted this here !
anyway, you can find the original/official kaiser roms here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
HTC & AT&T do different things
Ok, in oder to see the effects of different original/official roms we flash before the custom rom, i did the following and noticed an obvious difference:
1) flashed AT&T offiical WM6.1 CE 3.14.502.1 (built 19209) and then L26 V5
- flashed the same official AT&T and then Dutty's Diamond V1
in both cases, both L26 and Dutty's roms were not functioning optimal on my device. had to deal with many issues (from BT to GPRS to connectivity ...etc. as well as general responsiveness of the device)
2) flashed HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0 and then L26 V5
- flashed the same original HTC and then Dutty's Diamond V1
in both cases , both L26 and Dutty's roms were functioning a lot better on the device. almost %90 of the previous issues were gone.
in both 1) & 2) I used radio 1.65.16.25 and observed strictly the same procedure (usb flashing, same HR, no SD card inserted, no 3rd party app installed ...etc.)
what's going on? i'm now more confident that the type/version of the original or official rom we flash prior to the custom rom affects the custom rom and its behavior on our devices hugely.
this is still widely igonored by the chefs as i've never heard them on their threads mentioning/suggesting what original/offiical rom should be flashed prior to flashing their cooked roms.
I think alot of what you are trying to accomplish here was discussed previously. I have always been a proponent of trying to use Original ROMs in order to better understand what is "original" vs what is cooked and doing all tweaks by myself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=389519
Just stumble upon this. I think this one is quite insightful. But yet we have only Cooked ROM threads, reviews, and comments. Not on Stock ROM... once a while though *wonder why.. LoL*
Maybe we should encourage people who use stock ROM to start a thread for their own stock ROM version and make some reviews among the users? Not so good idea, but not so bad either.
I mean this thread is not only to know what work in 6.1 and what doesn't, right?
And for the current moment maybe we could have common concensus for responding to 'bizarre problems after flashing ROM xx.. bla.. bla bla' with : reflash stock rom -> hard reset -> reflash cooked rom -> hard reset -> still have problems?

The lite version will need to be flashed via your SD Card.
Please report any issues you find and I will begin working on fixing them.
A couple of known issues:
* battery meter doesn't update properly. Update the registry to look like this, soft reset and Voila:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:00000065
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:000003e9
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
"BaseId"=dword:00000000
* Phone won't powercycle - it is a bug that has to do with M2D. Use the reboot option under quickmenu
please report back any bugs that you find, and i will work on them and get a new version posted as soon as possible, but I am only able to upload when I get home from work (usually around 9:00pm CST) because I have a slow internet connection at work.
here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=f3232c42acce9cf541446e35a78dc46339c6720f418718fac95965eaa7bc68bc
Here are the requested screen shots. I apologize for the delay it just kept slipping my mind. The only thing that will change in the final release will be a custom theme for M2D to go along with my theme for the ROM.
Beta;
I'm up for it send me a PM. --Thanks;

i will beta test
Let me know. am in!!
Let me know. am in!!
I will test it!
I can test need some screen shots first
hey!
i also want to test your rom
Private Beta Released
The Beta Version was released last night to the 10 Beta Testers. I am anxiously awaiting their response. I am hoping to be able to fix any bugs that they find and release it to the public Mon or Tues.
Beta Testers
I had a couple of the beta testers report that they are having trouble flashing. One tester tried a different RUU (Flash Center) and it worked. I didn't have this problem when testing. Can some others try a different RUU if you are having troubles flashing.
I have family obligations tonight and will be offline until Sunday. Please report back any info to me.
Testing Open To Everyon
I included the link to the first beta release of my first ROM. Please report back any bugs that you find. The first post also has a couple of known issues and bugs.
Also, updates will occur in the evening as that is the only time I have a reliable internet connection to upload.
Please Teach Me
For the past two months, I've been struggling to learn how to cook properly for the Herald. After following the lessons by Ivan, I am still clueless when it comes to SYS. I simply don't understand how it works. If you don't mind, do you have another way of explaining to me how to work that folder so I can preinstall programs I want? Thanks.

I am flattered that you would seek my advice, but I must honestly say that I am still a very very newbie when it comes to ROM cooking and probably not the best person to seek the advice of when it comes to learning to cook. All of the information is out there to learn from, unfortunately it is just not in one nice, neat, and organized place. However, if you are wanting to add programs to be preinstalled in a ROM then you should be focussing on your OEM folder. That is where you are going to be adding the packages of the programs. The way I understand things, and keep in mind I am a beginner, the newer SYS folders are basically the newest versions of the different things that MS includes in the ROM. Your OEM folder is where you will be placing the packages of the programs you want to use.
Bugs???
Everyone please post any issues or bugs that you find so I can work to fix them.
Thanks
Hey Qball, I was still unable to get the rom to install after the RUU error. I tried using another RUU but to no avail.
i'll test the rom today.
try to make an *nbh file smaller- it'll leave more space to operate the rom
test: A-
it's pretty fast rom, has a lot of useful programs, but as i was afraid, the rom is little "fatty". on fresh flash, i had 15 mb of ram, and 24 mb of storage, whith is not much. i didn't dig it to much deep'cause i don't have time for this, but on my opinion, if you'll strip it down , it could be a very nice rom.

Hey MichyPrima,
Just logged in after work and will download all the offerings tonight. I don't know if I will have time to give full feedback tonight but our cup at the 7510 forum has never been so full.
Thanks a bunch.
Report after install
I just install full 6.5 ROM.
There're some problem I found as following.
1. some setting items is not response(Power, Organize StartMenu, Backlight, Device Info, Gsensor, Keyboard layout, Languages switch, Microphone AGC, Keylock, TV out, Task Manager, VueFLO, SMS Mode)
2. sound and notification is not close after setting
3. Comm Manager doesn't go back after press back button
I will come back to report more.
as if it is WM 6.5 beta a problems is Normal Like all Roms
To me it is seems Like i Should Sell my X7510 After trying Almost all kind of Roms So i realised That it was a Bad Ever phone i Baught and Shame on HTC They not Provide Any Stable And fast Rom anf what a ATI VGA laggy you thought the 624Mhz CPU Maybe it Should be fast Enaugh at least as HD one my previews Phone, i am very disapointed and now i am stocked with Cooked Rom i cannot go back even to the official WM6.1 Rom Sorry Guys but this is the truth, Big Thanks To MichyPrima For his Great Effort.
Hi there. Thanks for providing these ROMs, it's great to have skilled folk who know what they're doing out there . Can you tell me what the 'full' ROM has that the 'light' one is missing?
Also (and I am searching the forum for this) can someone point me to an idiots guide to flashing the X7510, I've done my Universal a few times but I'm not sure about this Hard SPL thing...what is it?
Thanks all.
feedback for boht 6.5 ROMs
I try both light and full version.
Light ROM is faster. But both will hang after play for awhile.
There're many icon in setting not work.
Next I will try 6.1 ROM
MichyPrima thank for your first cook ROM for X7510
It's good start for 6.5 ROM
Thank you, Michy!
Been waiting for this. Installed on my 7510. Bugs are same as in poltep's post. So rom is not really usable but when it does work it is incredibly fast! Media player on the home screen is great w/ album art support and highly accelerated add to library feature. The whole OS seems so much faster than 6.1 and I prefer it if you could work out the bugs. Resco file explorer will not install nor will some other programs I tried. Please keep working on this as I'm sure all of us will donate generously when it is stable. And thanks again for your hard work! Is there a Wm6.5 media player upgrade or is it still the old 10.3 media player that is contained in your 6.5 rom?
Hi Michy,
Thank you for your fantastic efforts here. I am liking very much the 6.5 interface and am moving my other devices over to it. I have to echo the comments that have gone before, however. Many of the icons under settings do not respond so until that can be addressed the two 6.5 ROMs are somewhat problematic. The Chinese ROM that appeared on the forum appears not to have those problems ..... but of course its in Chinese. Alexeym is helping us with a WWE translation for that ROM so maybe that will help you go forward with your 6.5 development also?
Major install problems with 3rd party apps
Hi Michy,
Have been playing some more with the lite version of the 6.5 rom. Though unusable for issues raised in previous posts, I love the speed and usuability of media player, file explorer, etc. The biggest issue however is the inability to install programs. Total commander will install as will advanced config but Resco explorer, skype, tom tom, opera and other important progs will simply give an "install unsucessfull" error. I don't see this issue in posts about other 6.5 roms. Is there a registry fix that can enable these progs to install? I have disabled security warning and this didn't help. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Thank you Michy, The 6.5 inteface makes the advantage even better in my opinion... A lot has been captured already in the posts, but just wanted to help with my feedback... I have yet to see it (FUll version) hang on me and I was successfull installing a GPS application but unsuccessful installing iGuidance. Plese let me know if there is a work around. I'm downloading the light version as we speak and if there is any change with that version I'll let you know, otherwise assume I had the same issues.
Cheers!!!
Hi Michy
Hey Michelle first of all your 6.5 ROM runs great smooth and fast on my X7510, way much better then the stock HTC ROM.
As told above indeed under settings, the back light & power shortcut/function do not work. I also noticed that every time i enter the start menu the icons change. For example the settings icon changes each time into the icon of one of the icons of the other apz in the ROM.
Also in the home screen the compose function for sms mail etc does not work.
The advanced con fig tool does not work also but can be installed and then works. Installing Tom Tom 7 is impossible ? How to solve this.
I have reverted to your 6.1 rom. And must say I'm very impressed by it. Tho still waiting for your 6.5 to be as perfect as can be.
Greetz Ché yes named after the cuevara Che
Any new development
Hi Michy,
Your roms really set the standard and I'm waiting for the WM6.5 one to have the discussed bugs fixed so I can upgrade.
Not wanting to put you under any pressure as you already do so much for the community, but are you continuing to play with WM6.5 for the x7150? In your signature, I cant help but notice that you run WM6.1 on your own Athena and its been a while since this thread has been updated.
Have you abandoned the project? I'll move across to your 6.1 rom if thats the case
Thanks for all your work as always!
Thanks for the rom !!
is there a way to get 96 DPI settings? i have tried to install realvga96dpi without any luck.
am I doing something wrong?
Regards
Thank you
I was trying to throw my X7510...now i got windows 6.5 ..thanks for adding..
i will install it later.
Fantastic work, but can i ask you a request?
Can you convert a ROM from wwe to italian lang?
i try to make a my rom, but i failed, and when i use your "switch language", it work, but at the automatic soft reset, the phone is block on the primary screen (the bios screen...)
can you help me, or tell me the instructions for change the lang to italian?
thanks a lot.
(i'm an italian user, and i know basic english language, if you tell me in italian, with PM if you want, i prefer...)
Does anyone know of a Rom that both tf3d and wm6.5 with word suggestion that actually works?
I have modified settings in advancedconfig and through start>settings>personal>input. After modifying the settings, word suggestion remains absent.
I have tried EnergyRom Series 3, RRE Series 6, and Shep's 21232 and 21222 builds.
The only rom I have flashed over the past two days that word suggestion actually seems to work is from Da_G's Most recent kitchen with RomSaved Dagyo's. However, there is an absence of tf3d. I attempted to add tf3d and other packages and build a rom but for some reason the packages I include in the rom are not being included into the newly saved rom when I flash it, which is weird because I never came across this issue on 6.1roms for the Tilt.
I type too many text messages and emails from my device to people that look down on grammar and spelling mistakes. Any help on either matter would be appreciated.
EDIT: NEVERMIND YOU NEED TO REMOVE HTC KEYBOARD, DURR. WEIRD I COULD NOT FIND THIS INFORMATION THROUGH SEARCH.
Updated:
Finally had time, and access to norwegian files for a new build. Seems a bit faster and more responsive.
New in this version:
- Removed some unused/unnecessary stuff from OEM
- Camera application updated to version 5.04
- Removed taskmanager from the taskbar and replaced it with a norwegian version
- Removed some more stuff from SYS (Uneeded/unwanted)
Bugs:
- The license agreement of MSN is still blank, press "godta"
- The default start page of Interet Explorer does NOT work.
Uploaded to 4shared:
build 28002: here
previous build 23071: here
Make sure you have read this before upgrading
Important:
This ROM does not contain a radio, the radio of your previously flashed ROM will be used
Please let me know if you find any other bugs or problems! This will definitely help me improve my work! (any positive feedback is wanted as well)

Thanks to this fantastic forum I've managed to cook my own norwegian 6.5 ROM based on build 23071. So far it seems to be working very well.
Since I'm not sure about the demand for norwegian ROMs I havn't uploaded it anywhere yet. If youre interested in trying it please post here telling me so.

Hi there.
I like to try your ROM.
Espen
I'll try to find a nice place to upload it as soon as I can, will probably PM with where you can find it.
Things I've done with this ROM is by the way:
Removed:
Transcriber (doesn't recognize norwegian letters anyway)
Autoupdate
IRDA (No infrared on kaiser so this is useless)
Livesearch
MS Money
MS Tag
MS My Phone
Added:
Working version of Windows Live (Since I do use msn occasionally)
Taskmanager
+Some other minor tweaks
Basically a quite clean Rom based on a mix of the OEM of my stock 6.1 kaiser and 6.5 build 23071 SYS.
Very nice and it makes me curious
Hi
Very nice initiative. I have tried most the roms around here, and have had some difficulties with 6.5 roms and have currently gone back to a 6.1 rom, but this makes me interested to try a 6.5 rom again
best regards Rune T. Norway
Added info:
Flashed the rom, and tried it for a little more than a day, but I found it it a little unresponsive for my taste.
I always look for the fastest I can find with the best batterylife, but things is of course a matter of taste, and one seems to get picky after trying all these magnificent roms ;D
I currently use 23053-uncompressed (with only 58Mb free storage at startup), and this is fast and stable.
If you wanted to try and cook a norwegian rom based on this one, it might be a winner for my taste.
RT
I've just installed your ROM and it's working good so far.
Espen
have u got any pictures ? and I hope u can post a english vision as well ;
thanks very much !
Improving
First of all thanks for the response!
Also I will not be cooking an english version of this as there are quite a lot of them out there already (probably a lot better than I could do them too)
Have been working a bit to improve this version built on 23071 for a while, and have made a couple of test builds for myself removing unneeded apps, the duplicate alarm clock shortcut and so on, but have turned to build 23081 simply because I like the magnifier in it. Will probably post it as soon as its ready.
BTW. I've been working on a couple of uncompressed versions as well, most people use the SD-cards for storage anyway.
Might take me a couple of days, maybe weeks as I'm currently playing around with my diamonds and trinitys too...
Great - keep up the good work.
Still no issues with the current version.
Espen
Me WANT
Hi, there i would realy like to try this on, I'm sick of reading eanglish on my kaiser
-Thx
Sorry, i can see clearly now, so i found the download link
Just to let you know
Lately I've been working on the 23081 build, uncompressed. It's fast and responsive, but there's some minor bugs with Internet explorer that I'm trying to fix. I'm looking for the norwegian languge files for 23088 though so if anyone could get me those I'd be very happy....
Remove IE, it sucks anyhow. It's slow and useless.
Add Opera and set it as default browser
Opera 9.7 Beta
The beta works great.

Have been playing with the idea, might try it when I get time, not sure yet how difficult it is to set it as the default browser when I cook it and integrate it into titanium. Will defenitely look into it.
Sounds great
Looking forward to your next build
Finally..
..a new build.
Check out the first post for links.
I have not added opera, you are free to do so yourself
Nice.. I'll check it out over the weekend..
Thanks
Thanks for testing! Please leave me a message telling whats good/bad and so on.
At the moment I'm in the process of cooking a ROM with touchflo 2.0 from the HTC Mega (touch2), seems like there's just a few bugs that I need to get rid of, when (or if?) I get it done I'll upload it if anyone wants it. (Not a huge fan of touchflo on kaiser myself since it doesn't work properly in portrait though)
Not working at the moment:
YouTube (Freezes)
Opera (works, but it's in english)
Dialer (fixed, went back to the built in dialer from WM 6.5)
Comm Manager (fixed, used the original from my HTC Kaiser)
Hi, I have not had the time too test your rom untill now. I'm falshing as we speak I will report back after testing for a few hours..
