HTC Raphael users who had so been partying on the pre-release version of Windows Mobile 6.5, but now the party’s over. Microsoft has issued takedown notices to the XDA developers and as of present all links to the original post and subsequent post have been removed. No more of Da_G’s Window’s 6.5 ROM. The only good thing is that the forum has neither been locked nor shut down. And for those of you banking on forums mirroring similar ROMs, well that’s gone too. Many websites and forums have reported receiving similar take down notices. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.
Here’s another one from the halls of the xda-developers; all those who have a variant of the HTC Touch and love to show off new ROMs now have a new toy. You can try HTC’s new geo-tagging Footprints feature. A new Beta ROM from NFSFAN includes a version of Manila2D with Footprints and is available for Alltel, Bell Mobility, Sprint and Verizon Wireless Touch handsets. If you don’t have a Touch and want to try out HTC Footprints, herg62123 et al has released a new version of the standalone Manila2D – a pretty decent Iolite version that features a Footprints tab.
Here are your links to xda-developers forum. Remember that flashing ROM’s is not for the faint of heart, be careful and know what you’re getting into.
