[RELEASE] Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Tornado Hybrid

Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Tornado Hybrid
CE OS 5.2.19202.3.0.0 (SKToolsLite readings)
I am glad to be able to find the time to assemble and cook this ROM. A "Very Special Thank You" to GnatGoSplat for providing the base ROM, assistance and encouragement. A "BIG Thank You" too to RickWyatt for helping me out with my first ROM release sometime back. Thank you to everybody else who are willing and brave enough to flash this ROM to your device. I hope you enjoy this ROM as much as I enjoyed cooking it.
As I am quite busy, support from me will be intermittent and difficult to come by. I hope experienced forum members and cookers can give a helping hand. Please use KarHoe's (great work man!) fantastic Guide to flash the ROM. (Best result when "format BINFS" is done.)
The significant feature of this release is the XIP 20202 from Vox. Please see the benchmark data below for comparison.
Base ROM: GnatGoSplat's WM6.1 Clean 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0) Eval

THANKS for the input; I really appreciate it and hope to be able to solve them where possible.

Thanks Ili, thanks for you help.
Well, the SMS are threaded, i import the SMS with SMS Tools Pack and this tool don't leave it in threat, but i make some test and the message in effect are threaded.
Well, i install the HTC Splash Screen for the startup images and i'm looking how to change the background call, jeje.
Thanks a lot...
This is a nice ROM

Thanx for your work, man.
Flashed this rom a couple of minutes ago.
Seems to work fine, liked homescreen in previous release more, so will try to shape it the way i want.

I just flashed my test phone and it works REALLY fast compared to previous 6.0 on it! is there any way to modify the clock font size and type to look like the one on HTC Home?
Anyway, awesome work!
Now i just need to find how to put Hebrew on this thing, cause letters are coming as squares again
Any chance you could check my post on the smartphone general regarding how to dump a rom and extract hebrew from it ?
EDIT: I can't seem to be able to send or receive bluetooth OBEX, keeps saying it can't be accessed / Fixed with AmpTweaks - Registry Missing for it!

Hey Vladimir.. I found out Ebag's realvga works fine with NightRavens 6.5 rom. check out the short discussion here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5037557&postcount=65

can you provide a link to realVGA that was made last for the TreoPro please (or the one you used)? I recall there were some special repacks and one-install file for the TP

lol, i know that i have Titanizer, i dont mean adding 3rd party plugins to carousel i mean whan u have realVGA on it makes screen appear bigger but u still only see 5 things form carousel (even if u have more) its just its look have lots of empty space around it, like the Font of the carousel appears to be smaller as it meant to fit 240x240 but whan u get full vga of 320x320 font size dose not increase, so there should be a Registry value to change font size or Registry value to change size of that see-through frame around carousel tabs to allow more to b shown on screen at a time...
PS. would post screen shots of what i mean but i wll have to do hard reset, and atm i need my phone working so i might do it l8r..

Hi Carpintero
The title of your thread is very misleading, "3d on elfin" . You should change it to "TouchFlo 3D style theme" and maybe someone will help
Good luck

YEP but dont know how to do that

That's odd, I have tried 6.1 and 6.5 on two separate Elves, and the 6.5 may boot slower, but after that it is quicker....

not wiht me ,all the apps and calender ,start in a slower way ,sms starts slower ,so don't agree wiht you perhaps you have a super model

Sometimes, when you have a lot of messages and you import them on WM 6.5 with PIM Backup - cprog.exe is going crazy and uses all CPU power. Maybe it happend also for you and thats why its working slower. Its only my suggestion, and it doesn`t hurt to check
I like WM 6.5 because it happens to have better RAM memory management, and its really faster than 6.1. (or is it my imagination )

My cents :
I think if you have M2D 2.0 already on your phone then all you need is to install the cab provided at the bottom of the thread mentioned in post#1.
EDIT : Sorry for the wrong info. The cab there is just a fix for one issue. My bad .

But i wish to say: Touchflo runs alrightly, Will try the Touchflo Fix and Reportback =]

[ROM] HTC Raphael AKA Touch Pro, Win 6.5.x build 29022 WWE extra clean by Beny

At first: everyone called me "Beny" but this nick wasn't free So I put anything. Second: this topic should be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=440 but I can't write there. Nevermind. I want to share you my ROM for HTC Raphael. It's called "extra clean" because I delete a lot of useless stuff (I don't write e-mail, mms or check weather, just call/sms/mp3/gps) Of course I left Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Free RAM: 157 MB. I didn't notice any bugs or hangs. I used brilliant Tacchan23 theme's (the best for WinMo in my opinion): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624874 (including dialer, taskbar etc), if someone (like me) doesn't like huge menu - I put Livven's 96dpi themes too. welcomehead and default wallpaper is:
added software:
Opera 10
PHM RegEdit 0.7 PL
hTorch Flashlight 3.2
Advanced configuration tool 3.3 PLK
CHome editor 1.6
TCPMP 0.72RC1
enjoy! (and sorry for my english
