changelog for custom rom by cmonex edition 1.0. (as firmware version in control panel, NEC firmware info applet! :) ) important note: this is first edition so a little bit experimental. but it is tested out fairly well. some apps and tweaks are experimental such as the skin and the isotherm IE fix. let me know if you like them and they will be kept! also, the IE speedup fix will be developed further anyway.
