Following from a previous thread before someone blocks it...
I understand that we are flashaholics and keep trying loads of different roms one after the other and are waiting for one which works reliably and does not miss any standard WM6 functions.
Can I ask if that is your case?
Before you respond, please read the wording carefully. Nobody is saying that there should be a rom which magically installs the applications wanted by the person holding the phone at the time. That's impossible, you see. I'm asking if you are waiting for a rom which rarely crashes, has a working camera, wifi, bluetooth, working Media Player, working SD card etc. Again, just in case you missed it, bug-free, not a telepathic rom which already has all the apps you like.
(Respects and admiration to: Cloudyfa, hma4, Gollum, korand)
A real good question....maybe it could be done, when the users of a certain rom report to the cooker and they work together until the release is as bug-free as it could be...f.x. gullums Coffie multilanguage has some bugs but only very very few and with help from the native speakers every bug could possibly be fixed, I think....
a believer..
i do believe everybody want a free bugs rom.i agree with invd.
1. need to work it out together
2. need experience user
after all,for me this flasholic is just a hobby
like roms with fully functional features with great interface.
i wonder if this roms can be modified like windowblinds or bricopacks aspirate or somethin similiar.
I have WM6 Korand WWE 2.5 on my Prophet for about a week and i have not noticed any serious bug.It's fast ,it's stable and finally it's CLEAN.
Consider also that the previous WM6 Korand ROM had some issues with certificates that Korand managed to solve in the last version.
So YES i believe that cookers working with users will finally create the BUG FREE ROM.
(Hope that this will happen soon)
you must understand that cooker are not working for the users,they are just sharring their work with us,you shoud give them a big thanks,and stop blaming the threads with stupid questions and requests.let's give those guys a little respect.
If you think you can create a bug free rom then try it. And show some respect to the cookers.
Sorry, I fail to see why recommending that cookers work together towards a bug-free base rom shows a lack of respect. Read my 1st post in this thread. If you can see anything there which shows a lack of respect then either my use of English or your reading of it is deficient. Apologies either way.
i agree with him

With that lot, I'd suggest Korand 3.1 with the HTC Home installed as a cab. Or may "Merged Reversal" which seems to have fewer bugs...
Always blame the keys... People these days...

only one user know the answer of my question?
I think my question is new and nobody compare these ROMs.
I read all the posts and serach completely please answer to m question correctly and becarefull.
Thank you l3v5y very much
That's because we cannot know what you will think of a ROM. The best way to find out is to flash it and see what you like/dislike.

have you found any? if so, can you tell me which ones, please? as i am constantly updating this rom when i find a bug.
I haven't found any yet! Which is why I said it seems to have fewer... Anyway, keep up the great ROMs!
I would recommend k0rand 3.1 as well. If you don't want scrolling then chriskay's reversed rom might be a good choice as well.
you may try pdviet transformer 1.0 by cloudyfa... I'm really enjoying that rom!
SHADOW 2 CE is very good and u can instal any CABs u want
It is really fine and do not like some other ROMs with rainbow colors!
i tried many ROMs and at the end decided to use SHADOW 2 CE + CABs of my choice
Other ROMs r great too, but i always found some unfine parts!
Thanx to all our ROMs cooker they r the best and try to do their best
for me its probably Gullum's rom...
the main thing that i love about his rom is its stable, faster than any other new rom ive tried, responsive keyboard(especially Happy Taping Keyboard), good battery life ....thats it..for me i use it for sms and call, and also web browsing
and i hope to seeing Gullum's 6.1 rom...hehe..for now im using Touch Evolution and is running not too bad for a 6.1
For me I like every ROM that released from every developers. But sometimes some ROM not serve for all my need. So, right now, I still try many times for every ROM.
I will try every new realised ROM, a lot of funs from them
everytime I go back to Korand 2.6.
For me it's the fastest and best at conserving battery.

Korand 3.1 official,
1-Fast booting
^^^^^^^^^^^
As fast as last official WM5 Qtek ROM.
4-more storage space
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yes.
5-Stability
^^^^^^^^
Very stable, even more stable than some official WM5 verison...i believe it's partly because the improvement of WM6.1 over WM5.
6-Not hanged my device
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The same to above.
7-more needed application and software
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The stability is partly based on NOT including unnecessary softwares.
Hi All,
Ive been looking through the forums and it seems there are so many ROMs to choose from..! Anyone 'tried & tested' and know which ones the best to install..? Ive currently on T mobile (UK) and dont want to have to do many patches after the new ROM is installed.... Any ideas please on the best ROM to install..??!
What does "best ROM" mean?
I think the answer would be that you go through the ROMs yourself and decide on what you like. No one can tell you what the best one is as different people like different things.
I personally use NRGZ28's EnergyROM (Great chef!) and have been doing so for a while now. In fact, from day two of getting my Serra!!
You don't have to do much after hard reset - just settings really.
Good luck!
I like Energy Rom,because this thing is FAST and almost bugsfree
You've got a choice between elite's Rom (Currently RC3, RC4 will be out very soon) or EnergyROM 2.0 I'd stick with RC3, as the dev team is actively engaged in support & bug tracking whereas NRGZ isnt much so.
It depends on what you're looking for... Right now I have RRE 6.5 with Rhodium Manila, it's very quick and has the benefits of both WM6.5 and the latest Manila port.
NRGZ28 builds awesome ROMs (fast, good-looking and stable) but so far they are only WM 6.1
Soon he will bring out his 3.0 (which is WM6.5) series which is very promising.
Elite ROMs are a bit too loaded for me, and I have found them to be less fast than NRGZ's ROMs.
My advice: Try and find out on your own, only you know what you'll like best.
There aint such thing as a BEST ROM. it is user dependant.
Why don;t you flash a couple of roms and the tell your experiences in the therefor opened threads.
And so you will also know what rom suits you most
good luck.
Modz close thread please
greetz,
the general
The best ROM is subjective. Have a look and find the one you like the look of.
Please read the stickies before starting a new thread.

Hello everyone,
before I bought my TouchDual, I had a usual HTC Touch. Well, at first the device was horrible slow. Then later on some one released a light ROM which works great till this day (my brother owns the Touch now).
Well, I got the TouchDual, but can't find a slim, fast, stable ROM. Its horrible.
I don't need a overloaded Divice. Just a slim one with all updated drivers and fixed bugs.
Is there anything out there which even comes close? My current ROM is driving me crazy! I prefer an older build it just has to be fast and stable.
PS: Couldn't someone stick a Thread like that? I'm sure plenty people are searching for such an ROM. (Yes I used the search-function)

The reason why there isn't such a sticky is if you ask 10 people this question, you'll get 8 different replies. There aren't many ROMs for the Nike anyway, so why not try all of it? I did..
It also depends on if you want WM6.1 or WM6.5.
There's not many 6.5 ROMs but NemanjaLO was doing the only Lite ones - as to whether they're completely stable seeing as WM6.5 is still undergoing development well, that's for you to judge.
But, as Lukesky says, it's all down to personal opinion and preference so do a few searches and try some out - you get usually get a good feel for the ROM by people's comments in the thread.
try this one... I've been using the manilla edition of it, and was stable and for a manilla rom packed full with all kind of apps it was fast. I think it will satisfy your needs.
If not, wait untill tWolf sees this thread. He must have flashed every single "basic", "clean" or "lite" version of the roms on this board to his niki and will surely be able to tell you which one was the best
Well I don't need 6.5. I just want an ROM on which I can run Tom Tom smothly, browse for Files and don't get interrupted writing SMS. My current ROM has some very annoying settings.
Such when you use T9 and want to add a custom word, it doesn't automatically switch to ABC-Mode... which is absolutely stupid.
The "Clean Black" Rom doesn't seem too clean with all that stuff on it. Especially the skin...
Where are you Mr. tWolf & NemanjaLO?
PS.: Even though it's right that every ROM has to kinda fit personal need, it is impossible (for people who need their phone everyday) to just try a whole bunch. It's just like buying a car. I need advice for a compact, small, efficient one.
Thanks so far.
If you don't even want the skin, then it's best you cook for yourself, else the lightest nike rom I know has to be this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435153&highlight=lite
Can you even use that one with an Nike?
Hey everybody,
I am sitting here now for hours and trying to figure out what I need, and what I wont ever use, ...
I got myself a touch pro and now I am trying to find a rom that fits me, or at least to figure out if i do even need a rom.
What I need is a stable phone that works fine with GPS and also stable enough (and with enought battarycapacity) to use the GPS for example 10hours in one turn (don't know even if this is possible from the beginning ).
first of all:
Whats the advantage of WM6.5?
Is a cooked 6.5 Rom possibly as stable as a stock rom from HTC?
Till now I am used to SPB Mobile Shell and I would buy the new version of it, ... is Sense really a good supstitude, and as fast as mobile shell?
Some ROMs come with lots of preinstalled software where I might only need half of it, is it possible to uninstall some of it?
I read somewhere something about QuickGPS, ... is it common and usefull in cooked ROMs?
Are Hotfixes from HTC usually included?
... slowly I get more and more questions in my head, ...
Last but not least:
Is it recommendable to use a cooked ROM if I dont't want to flash my phone for the comming year, and just using a stable and fast phone?
Which ROM would be recommendable if I use it mainly for surfing some pages and GPS and playing a bit around?
Thanks in advance for helping to unscramble my brain ^^
Ps.: Has anybody an experience with Touch Pro and German Vodafone, with different Radios? (As you see I like to stay up to date, but I am too lazy to follow it ...)
In a friendly way I suggest you do some serious reading which is really a FRIENDLY hint. Read the Wiki and Radio threads to learn more about your phone (hardSPL) and some ROM threads. Do n o t assume that all custom ROMs support all languages (my guess is that your local language is German) so - again - you have to look around a little bit.
Custom or cooked ROMs do include a lot of little tools and features (some Chefs put more in some less). Regarding stability, read a little bit through ROM threads currently there are not many unstable ROMs out.
Keep in mind that, pending what base ROM version you chose (called SYS followed by a number 21xxx for example) that it may be a beta OS from microsoft which need not to be "per se" a bad thing.
The biggest suggestion - still - read Read READ to UNDERSTAND what's going on.
A Titanium ROM would be MY choice if you want to continue with SPB Mobile shell (which is good BTW) so no need to have the Manila 2.1 or 2.5 included with the ROM.
Well we were all kind of clueless about this at one point..so I won't flame you for posting this, but please please go and read through the stickies in this forum, and then through a whole bunch of ROM threads before doing anything to your phone. Don't be one of the many retards who post on here asking questions that have been asked a million times.
Couple of things to get you started.
1) use the SEARCH function. It will really help you, just type in your question and you will get an answers..
2) Read these threads:
how to flash your phone:

3) Once you know what flashing is, what HardSPL is, what a radio is, what a riphone.dll is, and what a rom is, start with a nice simple Windows Mobile 6.1 rom and flash that. Browse this forum and find a [ROM] thread that states its Windows Mobile 6.1, download it, and flash it. I would never advise a newbie to flash WM 6.5..yes it works great et al but if you are new to this you will likely run into issues and end up coming back here.
4) Once you are happy with the basics of flashing, and you have played with your new 6.1 rom, go and take a look at some of the newer all singing all dancing roms based on WM 6.5, which is the latest version of windows mobile available. Again here start with the basics, so one that includes "manilla 2.1", which is currently stable and pretty much finished. This will give you some nice upgrades to your phone which you will not have seen before. Make sure to start with a version that has build "28xxxx" as its number also, as again this is the most stable.
5) Once you are used to that you may want to jump to the 21xxxx series (less stable but much nicer to use imo - this is the "development" series of WM 6.5, which is *not* final or released), and see how you get on with that.
6) If you are feeling adventerous go for a Manilla 2.5 version after this, but ONLY IF YOU HAVE READ ALL ABOUT IT FIRST. 2.5 is full of bugs/issues at the moment, 99% of which are known and have been posted about already.
The key thing here is to READ READ READ and DO NOT sit here posting questions - I guarantee that 99.999% of your questions have been answered already. If you stick to those rough guidelines you will have a good time flashing and will be respected here..happy flashing!
edit: one more thing, I will answer one more question. If you want the most stable and reliable ROM on your phone..do one of two things. Either research lots and play with every single rom you can find until you find the one that works best for YOUR network and area, OR just stick with a stock HTC rom..there is no "middle ground" here..its very simple
Sorry for having my questions out a bit quick
And thanks a lot for the info you gave still!
Just wanted to say that I did read quite a bit (and actually I stopped when I got a headache) so I am familiar with flashing Hardspl and so on, ...
One of my main question (if Manila is a substitude for Mobileshell) is answerd by tyguy, so thanks a lot for that!
Anyway you all do a great job here!! Thanks a lot!
For a German user on Vodafone see my friends and contact Schnitzelbrain he is German and Raphael user ( and maybe Vodafone ) very helpful surely he can help you chose.
I reccomend Chrome ROMs though.
WM 6.5 is more finger friendly than 6.1. If you're new stay away from the SENSE(next generation Manila) as it wasn't designed for your Touch Pro and it takes some tinkering around with. The better handling 6.5 builds are the 21XXX builds as they are "official" builds. Look for 21882. The 28xxx are experimental builds but function fairly well.
Each developer has their own style, so it may take you a couple tries to figure out who matches your style.
one warning about manila 2.5 (sense) is that it's been stated that sometimes the animations will be slower. This is because sense was made with a 1ghz processor in mind, so make sure you keep that in mind as well.
I'm currently using NRG Rom Phoenix 2 and (manila 2.1) it rocks.
SirHanni, just try some of the popular 6.5 roms such as the energy roms...
You need to experience each rom to know it you like everything about it.
For instance I like my current rom because the weather updates to my location.
I also hate the roms with the start button at the bottom.
