As far as I can tell there are 5 WM6 roms, making it pretty hard to decide which one to use.
Theres Phils alpha and beta versions which both appear to be cooked versions of the Vox rom? And both have a high CPU bug resulting in bad battery life.
THeres the perfect english version, don't know where that came from.
And the sticky post with a HTC beta rom, sticky because...?
And also the official dopod rom, which some people say is the best choice.
So I guess I'm not the only one confused about which one to use. Guess the dopod one is the best bet at the moment.
None of the actual ROMS are based on HTC VOX. NONE.
All are based on an INTERNAL UNIT BUILD...
I've tested them, and the best is " Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado Perfect English Edition" by andot. It has some bugfixes (eg: WMP, MMS..) and other TWEAKS, that you will NOT FIND in other ROMS (eg: Automatic Time, Unlock Clock, etc etc). So, right now, it's the best build.
No CPU overload problem, it was fixed. (and btw, it can be fixed manually by removing a key from registry, a2dpfix related key)

There is no official DOPOD ROM. That name is misleading. I am guessing the cooker meant that his ROM is for the DOPOD variant of HTC Tornado.
I'm agree with DSF " Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado Perfect English Edition" 20070807 is for the moment ( 07/08/2007 23h31) the best ROM for WM6 on Tornado.
Not being self-whoring or anything here, but pretty much ALL of the major issues in my ROM have been sorted in a test build I build today, expect a release sometime next week.
AFAIK, all the WM6 builds are based on my ALPHA build, however I will be porting a HTC S710 XIP and IMGFS when time and resources permit, so we'll have something like an WM6 RTM build for our tornado's...
Phil
Yes, without Phil's alpha build, we have nothing about the WM6 for Tornado, Phil did a great work!
Thanks andot, also thanks for some of your great work I've included in my test BETA2 ROM
Phil
its nice to see two brilliant cookers helping together! nyahahaha!
brilliant + brilliant = awesome rom!!!!! am i right?
If we help each other, the world has got to be a better place by the end of it Maybe not create a ROM together, but definitely share what we have and know

that is the whole idea between open source software as well, such as linux. it doesn't mean that you must create a single rom but you must use each other's wisdom to perfect your own work.

You are right, Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado Perfect English Edition 20070807 is the best at the moment. I have tried all these ROMs on my Dopod and now decided to stay with this ROM. Thank you all for your hard works and effots.
Just one small question. Anybody try the WWE version released right before Tornado Perfect English Edition ? My Dopod seems to have better batery life on WWE Rom than Perfect English Edition ROM. I have done a comparation test in the same amount of time (8 hours). In WWE ROM, my phone losts just less than 10% of battery but on Perfect English Edition ROM (v20070807), my phone losts up to 20% (even I used Automatic CPU speeds Mode in Tornado Power Control, saw the CPU speed is lower to 132MHz, closed phone and didn't use phone within these 8 hours).
Can anyboday help to explain to me why and how to solve this matter ?
same here. but without power control. in about 12 hours i have lost about 30%
Phil, what font size are you usign for SMS? I hope it is the same as your Beta build because the 'Perfect Tornado ROM' uses a very small SMS font
I flashed back to the WWE version this afternoon. It's more stable and somehow has less power consumption (I can't put my fingers on the exact reason for this.)

Do you know which application cause that?
With the V3 i lost 8% between 00:00 and 09:14 it's very good (ps: I don't use tornado power control, just automitkeylock, xbar are running)

I have no idea about what application causes this matter, just use what it has in your Perfect ROM. Can Automatic CPU speed mode in Tornando Power Control application cause this matter ?
Perhaps the automatic CPU power reduced the clock speed when not in use, hence giving you more power, that should be what happened
Using the WWE build my current power draw is 48 mAmp. (SDA) What do you guys get using other builds? (use celeTask to check)

So, which ROM should we continue to develope with ?
AKU 3.3 ? or WM6 ?
Hi Jesterz
Thats not an easy one, I tried the WM6 rom, and it worked but with the mentioned bugs, but it took all of my available ram, and kept coming up with memery shortage errors, does WM6 need more memory for it to operate, and will it ever have enough on a prophet?
JD
WM6!!!!!!
Im test the PDAVIET and the only big problem is the charge item.
[]s FerSoft
I say continue with AKU3.3 it's the one with less bugs...
yeah me too, lets go on with Aku 3.3
Personally I think that we should continue with WM6. More 3rd party applications will be developed for it in the long run, and it makes sense to future proof our Prophets.
WM6 please. Since the official wm6 has been released, why we need the AKU3.3? I really like the update option in WM6. And a bounch of other features in WM6 is also cool.

I think aku 3.3 needs just a bit more tweaking and that should come first, right?
You're probably closer to another release as well...
Sorry, I do not know why I got triple post here.....
WM6 Please Please Please
I loved WM6 only probs were
reset on return from standby (obex fix) only when not plugged in mains or usb
charging/batt status doesnt work after return from standby
Sometimes looses BT and Wifi information
I think the first two are linked. The device can only come out of standby if the obex dll registry is removed or renamed. maybe if the obex thing was fixed the charging might continue to work!!!
Excellent work though Jesterz - I use your 2.2r1 in production. Rock Solid and I have even kept the Jesterz Splash Screen

It is useless to play around with ext rom only. The core problems like IR malfunctioned, USB charging unstable that need to be fixed.
Of course we should look forward to WM6.

I think it too, but you can't force people to buy prophets so they could turn their heads our way!
WM6 is my choice.
I think it will take a long time to stabilise wm6 rom but eventually we will reap the rewards as it is the future.
WM6 for me. Let's prepare our Prophets for the future.
I think we should go for WM6! This is the feature!
Better go for WM6!!! Go Jesterz Go!
I know many of you may think this is based on opinion, but personally I'm new at the scene and just tried Faria's WWE WM6 ROM (the real thing) featured at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297762 .
My original reason for installing was cause my 8125's OS started lagging lately for some reason (it would take a few seconds for menus and items to show up instead of being instant). In addition, battery life was HORRIBLE (would die in around 2 days). So I went and downloaded Faria's WWE WM6 ROM (the real thing). Installation was easy, the ROM worked great, my battery life greatly improved (even though I overclocked to 247 with cpuscaling at 143).
Unfortunately, I messed around too much and accidentally killed my phone application , not to mention the OS has started to lag (probably because I installed too many things?).
Either way, I'm looking to download a new ROM. I want something that has all the features of Faria's HTC Wizard Rom (the real thing), and more. I don't care too much about extra space, because frankly I don't need it. I just want something that's fast and feature-packed (and includes everything from Faria's ROM). Any tips or suggestions? Help would really be appreciated, as I've just gone through 3 ROMS that I didn't like. Thanks.
try explore rom it prob more of the lines your looking for
Try this one.

I have tried many different ROM's, I keep going back to this one. It's the most stable for me.
Core 2.0n
For me, the best WM6 rom is the Core 2.0n (based on XPlore 1.0)
Thephone is very fast (boot in 35 seconds), no bugs, working well with TomTom6.
I'm only waiting a full French WM6 rom
for months of WM6.0 use; Faria is the best for stable.
im testing Pandora 1.05 right now.
From all of the ROMs that I have used. I think Faria is the best one. it's very stable.
pfff i think its best for me:
base version of Pandora:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307080
and core 2.0 of coz.
Faria's overloaded imo.
i like reloaded
Faria The Real Thing is most stable for me
soft reset everyday, to remove the slow down due to any memory leaks
and I'm gonna buck the trend here, wm6 is SLOW. use a 2.26 if you want a quick one
two day battery life sounds good some people think one day is good others, several days (but it depends how much you use it).

5.2.1413 fast
Hi,
i have been using Xplore 2.0n and it is great.
Its near Full Vanilla, but it supports AD2P and most of the basics.
The new 5.2.1413 build is FAAASSTTT, and there are FULL VANILLA releases, nevertheless, i was unable to set AD2P.
If there is a fix for ad2p, i will surely switch to 5.2.1413 because it is way way faster than Xplore 2.0n

The ROM Kitchen is the newer version of Faria's rom, and its vanilla, but you can add stuff into it. My Crossbow Reloaded (link below) is a cooked version of this rom with stuff added to it and a few fixes I put into it.
Ok guys, I have a brand new Kaiser, only SIM unlocked.
Ive tried the original vodafone UK ROM (Win Mobile 6) and now I installed The latest version (Win Mobile 6.1). I had a tytn with a win mobile 6.1 and the power consuption was really low (using 3G and BT always on). However on the tytn2 these ROMS look kinda gully, about 1.2% power consuption per hour. So I would ur experience to find the best that suits these points:
-Light, fast (dont need touch flos and that thing)
-Has HTC Home installed
-Has low power consuption
-Best RADIO and SPL for low power consuption
Does this exist? On my former tytn PDAViet ROMS used to be like this ^^

If you can only find ROMs with stuff you don't need, you certainly haven't looked hard enough at all.

Hi there,
Simply, I need help and advice regarding Polaris ROM's
I was looking for answer in ROM Development section many times(FAQ too), but all topics are so confusing(disorganised, confusing and uninformative) that I'm losing my sanity.
I was trying few roms(like panosha think), but unfortunately dissapointed me(bugs, unresolved issues etc.)
So what i need is quite simple in fact:
-fast, stable 6.1 or 6.5 version
-bug free or at least little bugs
-fully working radio(bluetooth, wifi, 3G and GPS)
-need default microsoft keyboard
Don't need gizmos, although nice GUI is a good point to go.
Thank you in advance.
tl;dr
Help me finding best ROM
go to htc support page scroll down to the bottom of the page, enter your phone's serial number and you will download the newest official ROM, with update utility included.
a good rom for polaris..
It's been more than 1 year that I use the rom called 3LIT3 (FULL VERSION) on both my 2 polaris... they work very well, 3LIT3 is really a fantastic / fast/ bug-free rom. I have the "3LIT3 V FULL WWE" VERSION.. and I can guarantee for this one only. I know there are the VI, the VII and the VIII versions of the same rom, but for sure number V is absolutely perfect. Everything including bluetooth, gps, external speaker, battery, wi-fi ecc ecc is working very well, without bugs...and including footprints!!
AH I FORGOT this rom is based on WM6.1 plus manila2d of course...
You got just to update the google maps cab..and your poleris will FLY!!!.
@faredino
thx for the tip this rom ist the best rom i´ve tested
i had m-amines, which is also nice but not as fast as lit3
i had pcars 6.5 rom, which is good but very slow (i think 6.5 is´nt the right thing for polaris)
and since a few days the lite3 VIII, which blew my mind...very very good work a pitty that he stopped working on it
so if you need a good stable rom take lit3 !
How about 6.5 recommendations?
So what's a good bet for WM6.5?
Was using pcarvalho's latest (24DEC09) but it has been freezing up & generally running very laggy. My Orbit 2 is going to my wife so I need something friendly as it gets whilst also reliable & quick. WM6.1 comes over too strong on the 3LIT3 ROMs...
i just tested pcars and kostas, but haven´t found a better rom then lit3, it got not the nice appearance of wm6.5, but i prefer speed and smoothnes

Tried, tested and i can confirm that.
Stable, bug free with nice gui.
Thank you.
3lit mmm, too slow for me.. too much stuff, probably many of them will never be used.
obviously you pay your many stuff with -speed!
a 400mhz processor can perform more than that, it have to, with 3lit I felt like going back to omap 201mhz ppc generation...
I have two Polaris and on both I have returned after many tries to an official 6.1 ROM, with radio updated, and tomtom7.
I think it's all what you need, a fast and crashless rom,
for me it's just all I need
Recently I have upgraded to 3LIT3 VIII FULL ITA....
...definitely my fav's ROM!!!!!!!!!
Will thank chavonbravo for the rest of... the days of my both polaris!!
If you're also using that rom, please consider a donation to the great mind of chavonbravo!
Also..anyone has changed the rom's keyboard? i think that is the only "not really perfect" issue of 3LIT3_VIII.. but it is overall GOOD anyway
Bye everybody,

There is no such thing as "best ROM"
All will depend on your personal needs.
What is best to me not necessary should be for you.
Said that, enter to ROM section and read a bit to know users comments, then make your choice
On my opinion Tomal 8.2, 8.5 and 8.9 are the more stable and great performance, but it´s up to you to find out your "best"
Or...............
Or you can check every members signature where they proudly announce their favourite ROM!
but i dunno whether my jasjar is suitable for 64 mb rom or 128 mb rom

Cooked ROMs
Best ROM for iMate JasJar (HTC Universal, Exec, ...)
I would have to agree that Tomal's 8.5 is the best of the posted ROMs. Not perfect, but it is very stable, good performing, yet fresh enough to run most new apps.
Above 8.5, there's all this annoying stuff in the UI, and performance and memory usage take a hit. Below 8.5, certain niceties like drag-scrolling disappear, the dialer looks ugly, and fundamental apps such as Microsoft's Facebook won't install.
There are a few non-Tomal ROMs out there - one of them, a WM5-based version, is really very good, and I used it for weeks. But for me, 8.5 with WM6.1 is the best compromise.
It looks like I'll be staying with this ROM, and staying with my iMate JasJar, until a similar or better big-keyboard big-screen phone running Windows Phone 7 becomes cheap enough.
Cheers

First I installed luca16thebig's light ROM 6.1, I found it really awesome as it was really fast and stable in the beginning. But as the time passed I realized that my battery is draining a lot quicker and also the mobile started to RESTART itself once every hour. The last thing which forced me to reflash the device was when I wanted to configure GPRS and no matter what I did it didn't want to connect.
Afterards I installed "TML v8.7.1 21028 regular 64MB", and so far everything is working fine, though its just been 2 days. GPRS is good and battery time is better.
Things I am not liking is the non availability of MMS inside the ROM and also I would really want to disable Auto Time Sync feature somehow.
Apart from this I believe it is so good. But I will flash "TML89_WM61_21048_REGULAR_64MB" or "TML89_WM61_21048_LITE_64MB" tomorrow just to check whats new in there
I hope it helped someone
Have a look through ROM thread, you can disable timesync by deleting from REG startup. MMS can be downloaded as cab, use Dutty's - I've posted it somewhere.
Thanks for the prompt response, I am using Arcsoft - do you think Dutty's is better ? I am going to search the thread for Timesync registry hack..
