Hey all,
I have a kitchen up for you Sprint CDMA users. If you aren't familiar with PPCGeeks, you'll want to register there to download it, but all the info is in this link.

The build is 20931 and runs very stable and fast.
If ROMs are more your style, I have a completely cleaned out one based on the same build here:

What do you think is the best NIKE rom out there?
I'd say tom codon, the last version is excellent, has a lot of fonctionalities and most important, no bugs. So far the best rom I've ever tried.
u got a link or something? with rom specific? tnx
it's called Niki project rom editor v2.1.3.
also depends on what u are looking for. More features=takes up more memory. Lighter rom=more space available
Mary 3.3 is my fav
I like niki project 2.1.3 too. But I think Tom bought a Diamond and he will not update his Rom anymore...
Mary 6.1 for sure, the Manila 2d it's an awesome improvement for the NIKI !!!

New Mary v.6.1 OS 5.2.20748 (Build 20748.1.4.0)
Manilla 2D Time
Im with the others that Tom's Niki Project 2.1.3 ROM is the best out there at the moment however as previously stated Tom has upgraded to a Diamond so there is no more development going into that ROM.
If you want a ROM that is still being updated then you cant really go wrong with the Various Mary ROMs by hellonasty, pretty lightweight and fast however I found that I needed to install most of the applications that are in Tom's ROM by default anyway so changed back.
I'm a novice chef and I'm seeing more and more people use a hybrid build for their roms. For example, NATF is using 21009 which he got from Da_G and I'm wondering why? I've been using NATF's ROMS has a base for my customizations and I'm looking to start building my own base. Since NATF went away from the stock AT&T ROM I've noticed the hybrids are quirky so I'm trying to get a handle on why chefs are using them as I go forward.
Also, is there a good collection of Packages somewhere for bundling in to a rom?

There are alot of reasons for making a hybrid. The main reason is taking the best of everything. a dll from here, a package from there, a sys from here, a xip from there. You are right that it can be quirky. However it can also yield incredible roms if done right.
Honestly there is no great location for packages. Most of them are collected over time. I have several hundred that it has taken me years to get. Probably about half of those are now out of date. The best thing you can do is just start searching. If there are any specific ones you need let me know and ill see if I have them.

Hybrid builds may introduce some quirks, but they rarely cause "dealbreakers" as I've seen some problems referred to lately.
Two positive examples of hybrid builds that immediately spring to mind are: MS Voice Command [was broken in Fuze stock ROM - needed a new DLL and OS build to correct], and GPS Navigation [horrible in Fuze stock ROM for 99% of people - needed Blackstone/Diamond drivers and registry changes to correct].
One dealbreaker would be: Captain Throwback. When he flashed to my ROM based on 21009, his Exchange connection suddenly stopped working. This began as a dealbreaker, but ended up being narrowed down to his SD card being partitioned, which OS 21009 didn't like. This is a quirk that was resolved by creating one big SD card.
Unfortunately that hasn't been a good collection of ROM packages created for the Raphael yet. On the Kaiser, _Alex_ distributed a modified version of KaiserKitchen along with a rather large collection of QVGA packages.
I totally agree that spot fixes like the GPS/DirectX drivers from the Blackthrone are important additions. I didn't realize MSVC was broken with the base AT&T build. That can certainly be a good reason to upgrade. That's sort of why I wanted to get a handle on why you guys were doing it. To me, MSVC isn't worth losing multi-select but I'm sure it is to others.
I'd love to see a base OS thread where we can just discuss updates/changes like this without the clutter of general support for a ROM.
I agree, _ALEX_'s kitchen was awesome on the Kaiser. I've been putting together a collection for my own use, maybe we should all just get together and create a good set of packages for chefs.
You don't need to lose multiselect, it's controlled by a registry key (which i discuss in my 20xxx registry settings thread in the raphael forum)
Also, the fix for MSVC in stock fuze rom is simply a blackstone wavedev.dll driver, don't need to upgrade the os to fix that, just extract rom, drop in driver replacement, cook

I can't seem to get rid of multiselect using that registry key. It's cooked into my latest ROM, but multiselect is still there.
I thought we tried dropping the DLL file into the stock ROM, but it wouldn't take... since the OS is 19971.
Can anybody make this or is there something like this out there?
I'd prefer the new 23034 build, but any 6.5 will work.
Thanks
I too am looking for a WM 6.5 ROM with TF2D integrated.
Does such a thin exist?
23017 build is what I'm currently running.
This is what you have been looking for

I too have been looking for a rom that combines 6.5 and manila2d because I am too lazy to make my own ... Finally found one today and remembered how often I came across this post. This is JustPCTech's rom from ppckitchen.org. Combines 6.5 build 23017 with the Manila2D from the HTC Mega. Its an older build but its not a big deal for me cuz 23017 works better than all the newer builds I have tried so far.
ENJOY!!!

i know there are a few people working on manila 2.5 based ROMs, but their current build is a 23017 based one..
yet over in the CDMA forum, they have a 23060+ based ROM (23403 to be exact) with manila 2.5, and i wondered why it was that no one was working on one for the GSM users?
I would LOVE to have manila 2.5 on my phone but i want it to be a newer version of winmo 6.5 as well..
here is what i'm referring to:

Hi there and welcome to our playground.
In the near future there will be updated win6.5 builds with Manila 2.5 but they now just need a stable build to try to get manila 2.5 working proper.
If you keep changing to every new build out there you would keep having new problems every time that had not been problems in previous builds.
That's my look on things.
PS [Rom] Raphael - WM 6.5 build 23071 Manila 2.5 VGA from muttim86's room is a rom that will probable update to a newer win6.5 build very soon.
Hi there!
I need a working ROM for my HTC Touch Pro.
I found one (hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470164) but that one was posted in 2007 so the download file is long gone from the internet! It was a ROM with a Stock market tab in FT3D.
I've read the rules and the Wiki but still I can't find what I'm looking for on this forum because of the many ROM's people have made! Don't get me wrong: I think that's great but I need help locating the right manilla that can be downloaded! Or point me in the direction were to look!
Thanks for your help! and greetingz from Holland

Er...
Well the latest is Manila 2.5 or sense 2.5 w/e you want to call it.
Most of the roms offer one or the other.
perrsonally i recommend energy rom... they're wonderful.
Leo version is slow but pretty
Pheonix two is strong.

Oké! Thanks for your replay. I've read somewere that manilla 2.6 is still in beta?
I know (from the wiki) that I have a HTC "Raphael" (touch pro...duh! ) but I see a lot of ROM's for the Diamond and pro 2 aswell! Do they all work fine on the Touch pro to? As a newbie I don't know were to look for when I'm looking for a ROM.
Can I create a ROM of my one? What need I to do that? I know my way around Paint Shop Pro but not around programming like in C++.
Manila (aka SenseUI)
Newer versions of Manila may require that you use a WinMO 6.5 custom ROM as HTC released the new 2.x versions of Manila (aka Sense) on devices that sported WinMO 6.5.
Additionally, some of the recent Manila releases (ex: 2.5, 2.6) may be versions obtained from dev/test ROM source. If you're after stability or rely on your device, this may not be preferable.
Custom ROM's
There are several customs available ... some chefs even release different ROM streams. In many cases, custom ROM's will also contain recent application updates. If you're after stability or rely on your device, once again this may not be preferable.
Custom ROM's are usually specific to devices. For example, if you own a Raphael GSM device, you only flash custom ROM that are Raphael GSM specific. Flashing custom ROM's from a different device or CDMA may permanently damage your device.
Kitchen (DIY Custom ROM)
Building a custom ROM has become much simpler. Many chefs who have moved onto another mobile device will often release a final ROM as well as the kitchen they use to prepare the ROM ... this serves as a great starting point.
Additionally, there are many tutorials available on how to use kitchens floating around the forum.
Lastly, moderators typically close threads requesting "What's The Best ROM" as selecting a custom ROM is like choosing a vehicle, house, partner ... it's all about personal preference. And from past experiences, these types of threads usually get out of control pretty quick. So, to avoid having a thread that you start closed, it is best to avoid "What's The Best ROM" discussions.
HTH,
OH..........sorry!
Don't want to upset the moderators!
Then I have just one final question:
Is there on this forum-part a topic with a standard ROM with instruction on how to customize it? Or can I find those things in the Wiki?
I would like to contribute to theme's or even a Dutch ROM.
I only need to know/learn how to do that! Can someone give me a link to some documentation and files/programs to use?
Thanks!

AFAIK, there isn't a "Generic" ROM with customization tips. What most members do is download a kitchen and post any customization related question in the corresponding kitchen thread.
