Best one I've ever used... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733649

Thx !
I'll try it.

It's easy to suggest "searching" but I've spent a few months out of the loop.. searching brought me here, ironically enough.
Thanks for the links guys
Edit: Wait.. that's an Android ROM. I wanted (and I believe OP wanted) a minimal WM6.5 ROM.

I use the miri 6.5 rom. Can find it on Google.

Help on flashing for a noob...

Hi all
I'm a total noob here and i'd like to flash my Qtek s200 G4 WM5 to a nicer rom. I read a lot of posts here and the wiki but i need your advice before i do anything.
Here is what i'd like to have :
- a rom without bugs or problems if possible
- a rom thats quite fast (i need ram and proc to use video and stuff with my bt headphones) and doesnt use too much battery
- a new interface (black vista like if possible) with scrolling and cube (like the pdaviet video on youtube)
- a tutorial or a step by step do do it without killing my phone
I know thats a lot to ask for a noob lol.
By the screenshots i like the PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 Touch. If its stable and doesnt use much battery i'd like this one but maybe i should try a newer one???
My questions :
- Do i have to upgrade to WM6 first?
- can i come back to my old wm5 rom (which works good) if i dont like the new and how?
Please feel free to give me links to posts i missed.
thanks for your answers and keep the good work.
I think you can find alot of useful links and information in this thread. I also wanted to have the pdaviet 4.0.0.06 rom, but I went for Gullums multilingual Coffie rom instead, I haven't regret it, works perfectly, faster and more stable than my old WM5.

1) no, you must HardSPL/SoftSPL your device first.
2) yes! Depening on the brand of the device, you can either download the official RUU (check out the wiki) or perform a ROM Dump to a spare SD card. (also check out the wiki)
Thanks An3Azz.
l3v5y, i'll check this one
any other member wanna tell me which is the best rom?
the more stable and the best looking?
I think the opinion of most users here is that the best ROM is in the eye of the beholder! I like my own ROMs as I cooked them to be the way I want them, others like other ROMs because of the way they are...

Stock 6.5.5 Rom ?

Anyone know if there is a Stock Rom of 6.5.x anywhere ?
Im after a good base rom to start cooking my own roms ?
none of the stock roms use 6.5.3 or 6.5.5
all stock roms are just 6.5
ok so I have the 6.5 Stock and im using oskitchen.
apart from addind the new windows build, where do I get and put the new manila software that works with 6.5.x ?
google "chef central xda" you will get much better info there.
thanks for the info but there seems to be a lack of "noob" tutorials and info.
Ive looked over chefs central but cannot find out how to do what I want. Ive even posted in there and not got an easy answer.
Any chance you can point me in the right direction ?

To be quite honest, they don't expect noobs to be cooking their own ROMs right away ..
First you have to understand the Windows Mobile file structure, and as if that is not enough there are thousands of things beyond that to take into consideration ...
I wish I could point you to a spot that had it step by step, but it just takes time to learn it all ....
Hi i have the same interest which is the 6.5 stock rom you are using i did look but all i found were 6.1 thanks

It's a good idea to cook one's own ROM but what unique things are you going to produce? What are you going to offer which some of good ROMs in the forum are not offering? It it's just for learning purposes, fine but do you want to put that much investment, just for learning?
I have a stock rom 6.5 but when I update it with oskitchen to 6.5.5 I get strange graphics bug. (see attachment) If someone can assist me in getting this to display correct I will then have a good base to start from.
(Im told its cuz I dont have the latest Manila ? Not sure tbh. but a lil help updaing it would be nice
My rom for the time being is purely for me to learn.

Official rom + programs vs Cooked one

So.,.. im in doubt again.. Should i use Official rom and modify it with programs and themes as i want, or should i use some cooked rom ( elegancia rom is the most suitable rom for me within the cooked roms..)

Difficult question; all depends on your expectations/needs.
Personally I'm more fore a Cooked Rom reason way; it is mostly build by a personal creator, with his opinion/experience on the way how it will be better, and if you look into each Rom Builders thread you will see a lot of updates, and a lot of people recommendation and gives feedback about there opinion.
Let say that mostly a Cooked Rom is build on customers needs, and not on the thinking way of a factory.
If you ask me, tray it out, you can always changed your Rom version.
One important rule, reed always attentive the instructions, and follow them.
yes ... u are right... i found elegance rom best suiting me .. but 2 things i hate about it :
i cant get original volume control back ( instaled all possible cabs, but no )
lockscreen is damn ugly even when i restor original one, its ugly...

All depends on taste sir; unfortunately this isn't a thing I can help you out.
But if you go take a look on the theme thread's you will certainty find one you like. (There are different versions of it, but it's a little bit searching)
I don't know if you have take already a look to the Artemis Rom?
I don't have the intention to favoring/make publicity fore one Rom builder; but I have had a lot of different Rom version's and I always came back on Artemis. (But again this is personal need/opinion.)
Oh yes; it have the opportunity to switch between two different lock-screen versions (they are build in the Rom) and it have the original volume control.
In case of; you can find the link in my signature.
and whats the speed of device with artemis rom? and are there bugs ? have u tried elegancia rom ?
the only think i dont like with estetics on artemis rom are those bubble buttons for phone and menu... can that be fixed?

Okay, this are multiple questions
- Speed is Okay (quietly fast comparing some other that I have used), and smoothly.
- Bugs; I must be honest thil here I think I'm a lucky guy and didn't have found bugs on it, but I must also be honest in the past there were some version's where the battery drains fast; but on the version I'm now it's okay. (2,5 sometimes 3 days of battery life (I'm always in 3G used synchronization of whether/Mail/Twitter(if it works) every 10 minutes used 4H/day WiFi/(surfing on the net) and do about 3H of communication/day (I Know I'm phone addicted) I don't set my device on sleep; always turns on 24/24 and if I have time about 1h/day I listen the radio on it.
So I must say I'm satisfy on battery life/comparing on the needs I have.
Of course that don't mean there aren't now bugs, Sternas (the creator of Artemis Rom) do mostly each week a Rom update, I don't have always the time to follow it so I can not say if it's always smoothly. But I see if people communicate bugs/problem's he do directly a new update. Much respect fore that fore someone who build multi language Rom!
- No, I didn't tried Elegancia Rom; so I can not compare with this version.
- About the bottom buttons; he have 5 different versions of it already build in his Rom; so you can shoos between them. But it's not something fix from the Rom; in the Theme Thread you will find hundreds different versions. fore WM 6.5.X there are a lot of stuff. So you are free to install whatever you like.
I hope I gives you a fully and useful information.
In case off; just ask.
Kurt
The most impotent is to follow your needs/taste.
Ons you have discover that part its just flashing
(Impotent no matter witch Rom you decide to take is to read/follow the instructions thy mention on there thread.)
And if after all it wasn't what you expected; you just take a other one.
err, i just got artemis rom ,and whats the diffrence between official rom and artemis rom ? i dont find any diffrence..

Eh? A lot sir;
Fore the beginning it's WM 6.5.X instead of WM 6.5.
secondly you have all the latest manila/OS/packaging versions.
There are also included some useful applications.
And ...
But if you mean; "on the first look it look like Stock Rom"
Yes; it's normal; because Sternas cooked Rom on Stock Rom Philosophy.
Reason way; everyone have a different taste about Look/skin.
so you are free in that part. (but if you used it some wile; you will see the difference by experience)

Help for a new user ?

Hello everybody
I'm not new to Android I bought a Galaxy S II last summer and I discovered root and all the other funny things ;-)
And today I get an Archos 101 gen8 for free ! ^^
I immediatly went on my favourite site : XDA
And I'm a bit lost...
What is the best rom you can recommend me ?
I read that ubuntu is avaible but I don't know if it's fully working...
Should I use Urukdroid or BullAOS (CM7, I'm right?) because my tablet is pretty slow with stock android ... ?
The best would be a dual boot and I think it's quite possible no ?
Thanks a lot
And I apologize for my bad english it's not my mother language...
I believe that it is up to you to see what ROM works best for you. I prefer UrukDroid, some like Ubuntu, others still just use chrulri's ROOTED stock ROM. Advantages/Disadvantages are mostly seen in personal use.
One way to go about it would be trying them all out and see which one best suit your needs. If you like speed and optimization, go for Uruk. If you feel that stock ROM is good enough and you just need root, try above mentioned chrulri's ROM. If you don't like android and for some reason want Linux, go for Ubuntu/Debian.
Hope this helps.
Peace.
Ok thanks I'll give a try to ubuntu and Urukdroid ;-)
Suggest you Urukdroid. You can use it as your daily OS with many other benefits.
