Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard for Tornado - ENGLISH ONLY.
Version 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0)
The core OS is a leaked evaluation version from the Motorola Q8 (1.07.24R) which I ported over to Tornado.
This is a clean ROM with no 3rd party apps except OEM apps.
ArcSoft MMS 3.5.2.15C
Esmertec JBed
There is some customization for the USA T-Mobile SDA so some changes
will be required in your button mappings. To set up your MMS and Data
connections, go into Settings/Connections/GPRS and delete the TMO
settings and add your own.
Known Bugs
Encryption menu option in Settings doesn't work, I don't know why.
Sim Manager menu option in Contacts is blank.
Camera brightness doesn't work - it's a common problem with Camera 4.00 on Tornado.
This is OS only, it will not change your IPL, SPL, flash, or radio.

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 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324557). (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.
