I agree. It is time to upgrade my friend... There are so many roms out there that are almost 100% stable with everything working and not all of them include all of the extra crap either... If you wanted to keep the same general look going on and not the touchflo if thats what you're trying to avoid, then look into some of the professional roms instead of the touch roms.
A good example is TNT5.0 Professional. It has all the amendaties of WM5 but also supports all of the WM6 software.
...Thats my opinion anyway
I have
I've updated to WM6 many times with multiple roms, but they tend to lag in performance. Though one rom looks promicing is this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331812
BUT! It's a Hermes rom and I have no Idea how to flash that onto a wizard. So instead of risking my Wizard to brick, I was hoping someone could possibly patch those cabs for WM5.
If anyone is looking for a little project, please patch those cabs on the first post.
Thank you
i use TNE with over clocking, with no problems. just as fast as wm5 if not faster.
touch no evil.
and dont flash a wm6 rom that wasnt built for the wizard.

give this rom a try. It was originally made by its right but I personally modified it to have a larger page pool and is quite fast.
It is a touchflo rom though... Not sure how fond you are of those style roms...

Well does anyone just have the base WM6 rom that I can flash? Nothing custom, just the standard, factory WM6 rom? Cuz that would be the only way I would be willing to upgrade. If not then I just want the cabs to work on WM5.

Well there is TNT Official... It's the closest to an actual OFFICIAL Wizard WM6 rom as you are going to get...
Install that(it is CLEAN, nothing on it really) and you can install anything you want if you're not interested in a custom rom.
You could also give this a once over...
*Updated 9/27/07 8:30am* BETA TESTERS NEEDED! The Real Official WM6 OS
Hi there,
Anyone knows about any cleanest ROM with latest updates (OS patches, HTC patches) and no other stuff in it?
I would go for Alex's UltraCLEAN ROM but it looks like the OS is too old comparing to Helmi's/Dutty's/Schap's ones.
So far the best I ever used is Helmi's Clean ROM, no custom splashscreens, no custom graphics, just completely clean ROM (I appreciate any performance tweak, not bloody graphics )
But it looks like it's out of date these days...
Any hints?
Thanks,
Gabriel
ROM OS versions
To be clear:
Duttys New years Rom 2k8 Fixed [DualTouch v2] TouchFLO: v5.2.1933 build 18533.dutty
Dutty's SupaLite Rom v5.2.1948 build 20000.dutty
Alex.HTC.156.UC4.ROM v5.2.1620 build 18125.0.4.2
Schap's WM6 Pro 4.30 ROM v5.2.1948 build 18548.0.7.0
Helmi kaiser aku.0.7.0_04_clean v5.2.1978 build 18578.0.7.0
See the difference?
Hmm isn't Helmis the latest OS version rather than the most outdated?!?!

Ha! You see? you got the point
How can he have such build (acting as a newest one) and be almost 3 months out of date?
Any fake going around?
FWIW, I stripped and released the Folders & OEM packages from the HTC ROM found in this thread.
thats not exactly how is works
Its not always the newest builds that are the best
But the builds usually is ported from other devices, like polaris, touch dual or w/e.
I have portet the build in my kaiser to herald, (norwegian) and I portet polaris os to herald (wwe) its the same build, I duplicated excatly same edits, removals of files...did exactly the same setup. But there is a very noticeable diffrence in speed and stability on the two ports, even though it has same apps, same setup, same os build.
I dunno if this explain anything to anyone
But do not make the mistake beliving newer os version is better.
cheers
IIRC (and I could be completely wrong here) the 5.2.1978 build was a fake.
Something to consider with these build versions is that not all of them are built for the Kaiser - some of them have been ported from other releases for other models of device.
Some people only believe in using builds that were intended for the Kaiser, others think that there are benefits from using new versions.
As with all things in software, with fixes come more bugs - newer revisions might have one thing fixed, but another three broken. You never can tell.
Beyond ROM versions, there's also software versions which can be even more significant. For example, we're seeing roms with a much newer version of the camera software now.
So there's an awful lot to consider really.
Alex 1.6 rom is using the most updated at&t rom which should include all the basic patches from bluetooth hot fix to the other stuff. If you want newest NetCF on there, you can cook that in. Many of those roms have been tweaked out, so using Alex's rom, I think is the cleanest. A little bit more understanding of these version numbers would help you understand more about these roms.

Absolutely agree with you itje. The latest HTC OEM apps also go a long way in helping you determine how "latest" a ROM is. CE OS Build alone shows only part of the picture...
Hiys
Ive just gotten myself a nice little htc s710 and i would like to get as must out of it as possible (Well duh)... So I want to know wich rom are the most stabile and the farstest to run on this little baby?
Could anybody point in the right direction of a rom that satisfies those basic needs - and if there arent any that really stands out then to the newest rom for s710 wuch include danish
Thx alot in advance

The New Guava ROM by Dr.Gonzo. (WM6.0)
Best bet.
I doube it... In my vox and guava 6.0 gadu-gadu didn't want to "show" contact status when I was conected and it was blank white screen when I wanted to unlock keyboard I have now 6.1 96dpi and no problems:] And it looks nice too
It depends on your needs...
Try to flash your device with several roms instead of asking to other people.....

Well I would say that there isnt anything to disagree with when it comes to the fastest and most stabile rom but ok ill waste some time reflashing a few roms ^^
//M
The ROMs currently used by everyone haunting this forum are based on Dr. Gonzo's roms. Either the latest WM 6.0 New Guava rom or the WM 6.1 v 1.1 rom. And they are both stable (which is something no other cook can ruin, unless they are completely out of it and then nobody will use their rom) and contain everything you need to have a functional phone. The most used ones are ZEshee's 96 dpi ROM (based on gonzo's 6.1 rom) and gonzo's 6.1 rom.
I say flash both of these and see if you like the smaller characters of the 96 dpi one more. I f you don't, Gonzo's rom is best.
And this is not about personal preference. Gonzo was the best cook that ever came to this forum. And we all thank him a lot.

It's not a waste of time, a rom which probably would fit perfectly for your needs, probably doesn't fit for an other person....
Hi,
My name is Baron. I own a HTC P4350 PPC. I was wondering if there is any port of the Original WM 6.1 version for the Herald without any customizations. I have been trying different versions of each cook's 6.1 versions but I don't know. I like them but I guess I like things to be original lol. I really like the TouchFLO, its awesome. But if there is anyone who can help me out or even let me know how to aquire 6.1 and teach me how to port it would be nice. Maybe I can be a cook or something. But I guess that would need the help of all of you. I am familiar with flashing Heralds at the moment and of course last year I was flashing Motorolas with Motorola's custom OS not the ones with WM. Anyway thanks for your time and I hope I can be seen as a cook around here or something. Oh, don't forget about the original WM 6.1

There was never an original WM6.1 for the Herald. You'll have to cook your own ROM using a WM6.1 base and port it using a stock 6.0 Herald ROM without any kind of customizations except for a lot of the customizations needed to fix all the bugs that will arise from simply sticking both bases together. The original ROM tends to be slow and buggy, though... What about the original ROM do you like? There might already be a ROM that has those features.
Thanks for your fast response. I knew there was never a actual 6.1 release for the Herald, I was just wondering if anyone ported the original release to work with a Herald. But with what you said about it being buggy, I never thought about that but I guess that would make sense, but I have seen some custom ROMs with 6.1 and flashed them myself to see how it would work and these 6.1 versions were not bad at all, especially with TouchFLO. So I guess my question is, how were they able to cook a 6.1 version? They had to have picked up an original to modify it if I'm correct. As I said I would like to learn how to cook as well so if anyone has time to help me learn at least the basics that would be appreciated. I can learn more myself if I know the basics.

I have a few threads dedicated to teaching how to cook. It's just the basics but it's enough to get you started.
Every 6.1 ROM here has been made by porting a 6.1 from another phone (there is no "original" per say as new versions are released all the time.) using the OEM of an original HERALD 6.0 ROM but modifying it heavily, making a custom XIP (kind of like the kernel and all the stuff related to it) from both the ported ROM and the older ROM, and then adding their own apps and tweaks.
In my case, I also do a heavy amount of stripping of useless files.
I'm kind of on the same page. I'd love to find an unmodified wm6.1. I've tried a couple of them, and they're all great, but they also have a bunch of stuff loaded in them or different versions of apps. I'd like to find a wm6.1 load that JUST has the org wm6.1 apps in it and nothing else. No mods, no alternative apps, skins, etc.

then take an original WM6 and behappy with that...belive me ivansstripped wm6.1 ONLY have tweaks that are really useful...to correct the crappy MS waste....
If you do NOT wantto correct that crap...go with an original WM6...it the same
same here
I am also looking for this...
I am VERY new to cooking and have not been able to manage to Dump any of the 6.1 ROMs. (I must be missing something)
I would like to start with an "original" ROM that I can play with and try to build my own custom ROM

I guess I'm having a hard time understanding what "original" means. If you just want something clean and stripped that you can add whatever you want into it, then any of my ROMs will do.
To ivanmmj
I guess by original I meant base 6.1 ROM but since there is not an official 6.1 base ROM for Herald I was just trying to figure out how the other cooks were able to get 6.1 in their releases so I could cook up my own 6.1 for me and possibly upload it for someone to test or use. But it's ok, you already answered that for me but maybe you can point me in the right direction. I've been hearing that a Kaiser 6.1 ROM is easy to port to the Herald. But let me know how you were able to port it. I read some of your tutorials and I'll definately give it a try as soon as I get the time. Possibly this Sunday or so.

If you're looking for a bug free base, you might be better off just using one of my ROM as a base (since I tend to release the kitchen files for my ROMs.)
I have a post somewhere here about SYS and XIP porting. Find it and follow that. It works fine with kaiser ROMs.
Thanks! I don't know if I have tried your ROMs yet. I'll give it a go.
From what I have been able to gather (not very much) is that some ROM have their RGU files removed, making it imposible to Dump the ROM. When I try to open with the Package Tool nothing happens?

Actually, some ROMs are even encrypted...
In my case, all my ROMs are released WITH the kitchen files in case you want to make your own version. All that I ask is that you mention where the base came from since the base took a long time to make.
I don't know if this is the right place for this post.... and forgive my ignorance again.
I just can't get the Kitchen to work with any 6.1 ROM. I have tried JustMe and I follow exactly the same steps as with the original ROM. I just can't get a poputated OEM or SYS folder. What am I missing?

...Original rom?
There isnt a true original rom. Theres a base, which cannot be loaded on herald unless is ported with original 6.0 (which is ment for herald).
So. basically it looks like this:
Base 6.1 + Original 6.0 = herald 6.1
(original) (port)
you cant just use a base for a rom. you can port it, then extract what u want and dont want though (which theretically will turn yer ported 6.1 into an "original" one)
I managed to port a 6.1 rom following ivanmmj tutorial, quoted below.
" How to port a SYS folder
1. Open your old SYS folder and copy the .VM and WinCENLS_WWE folders into your new SYS folder
2. Go to your old SYS\Shell and copy shell32.exe and shellres.dll into your new SYS\Shell
3. Replace the old SYS folder with the new one. "
but I only did step 1 and did not do step 2. It worked and seems stable.

The Shell32.exe doesn't always have to be ported, but if you port a ROM that comes with a different dpi, you need to use your old shell32.dll (unless you want to manually convert it into the proper DPI...)
im new to this stuff and already flashed my first and brand new phone and the 3vo rom works great and looks good too but wanna make some changes to it myself. I have a brand new Tmobile HTC Dash 3G with 3vo rom on it atm 6.5 windows mobile
what tools/software/rom's would i need to do the following:
make and edit my own cooked rom
back up my current and original rom
and some sort of tutorial to explain this
Bump. I was actually just about to post a thread asking how to do this.
I'd like to stick with the factory WinMo 6.5 ROM, but I'd be nice to be able to cook in a few apps (MyPhone, WMWifiRouter, Opera, Java, etc) into the ROM.
