Special thanks to...Hdubli hes is the most important person in the development of our custom roms, give him all the thanks, withough him this would have not been possible..

Cross fingers, thank you rafyvitto

Amazing man~~~
Waiting for your news.
BTW, will the Bluetooth performance improve?

---

good news! is it possible to make second version with normal wm 6.5 (i mean 5.2.21857) dont like 6.5.1 big buttons style (

---

Can't wait. This is the one I've been waiting for. How far along are you?
I kind of agree with JMFC too. Unless you can at least turn those buttons off. I still haven't played with WM 6.5 too much.
Also, I have been wondering if you could adapt the tf3d bar to go to other programs than what htc has used. IF you like a different music player or photo viewer for instance. My main uses are the programs tab, the internet tab, and the weather tab. Home and contacts being obvious as well.

Who had the stupid idea of those ugly buttons. Main reason for not flased Hdubli's rom are those. And I definetely like them on top.
If I had the option to revert to 21857 rom I would proceed (even not the original).
But you are my heroes guys. Keep on.

---

I thought I read that hdubli had given up on the 2.5? or are you helping him enough to make it work rafyvitto?

I have tried to connect the handfree to my little mobile Samsung M-628.
Everything work fine...

Nice!!! Thanks for this.

it's what I use on my neoTouch

skinning later may be the easiest thing to do, although I do hope they have a very thin bar for the bottom bar that fits wvga better. I don't like how it interferes with tf3d's slide bar. But really I just can't wait to get this up and running.
Also, I still need a layman's breakdown of backing up my current stock ROM. I read some of what hdubli already put out, but if it is possible to simplify it, it would be a great help.
And when this 2.5 ROM is finished, I'd love for a very simple step by step to flash it properly. I think flashing is probably easier on the f1 than it was on the f900, since I don't believed they figured out how to flash from a sdcard. But I have only done it about 3 times so far, and want to make sure I've got it down before I screw it up.
Thanks again for all the work, and I can't wait!

Actually, after reading more into how to backup a rom, by dumping and reconstructing, this doesn't seem to be the thing for me to attempt. I don't seem to be able to find any programs/utilities that will handle this as well. SO................
Would any of the experiencenced people here be so kind as to actually reconstruct and make a factory rom for the Acer s200 available? I am too old to learn too many new tricks, and while I am a capable dabbleler, I am by no means capable of being a professional. So knowing my limits, I can only stand on the street and ask for help.
By the way, if you need the stock rom to reconstruct, and can tell me how to dump it on my device, I would be happy to send it to you.
