the best rom so far

I've tryed the MB version of WM6 for about 2 1/2 weeks. It was manageble. Quite a bit of tweaking to get it where it needed to be. Anyhow,i felt it was good but i knew i could've used more speed in terms of hopping in & out of programs,apps, etc. Now i have the Xplore version. Xplore version seemed to draw me in due to the the focus on memory. I would like to hear some different opinions on which rom is best. I definitely know this is a matter of opinion but i would really appreciate the insight. If anyone has tried the Faria (real thing) rom and you like it...tell me why...give me some opinions or insight on why. Thanks in advance!

It's pretty hard to say which is the best. Everyone has had different experiences with different roms. I have a G4 wizard and so far Underground has proven itself to be my consistent choice. Few tweaks here and there(what rom don't you have to tweak) but my main issue was battery. Even after using the battery cab for each rom, Underground always gets about two days of battery for me and overclocked at 260. Also, after a long day of using the phone I hold about 20 megs of free space. Again, this has been working for my phone and I can't say everyone will have the same results.

Underground
Having tried them basically all: UNDERGROUND is my best choice

i have tried a good bit of crossbow roms....
orwell: ok...had to do a lot of tweaking and to me it wasnt all that stable. first crossbow rom i used...switched back to original wm5 until better roms were released
pdaviet: honestly...i never liked these roms...for me it was too cluttered with applications i didnt need...it was based on orwells with tweaks but still wasnt as stable like i wanted to be.
underground: Just Ok...no major bugs...but the performance wasnt there (even after tweaks) and my phone would hang a bit. free memory was about 22 ~ 25mb.
mb: good rom. quite stable. free memory above 25mb. didnt use it for too much because mun released his rom.
mun's rom: another good rom; ran stable without crashes for weeks. performance was good and free memory was good (about 27 ~ 29MB)
faria real thing and vanilla: both are good roms and were real stable. real thing had apps but i prefer barebones so i can practice cooking. vanilla was good but had some bugs (phone settings issue...i didnt have problems with gsm but i think faria did). vanilla had great free memory (30 ~ 31mb). this is the rom i am practicing cooking on...i am still working on clearing the phone settings issue myself (need more hours in a day man...)
xplore: this is a great rom. cooked for free memory...i have 33mb free on my main phone. i havent notice any big problems except a wifi issue i encountered (wouldnt turn on) but that was cleared after i used the UK 2.19 radio rom (which is great by the way....i know ppl like 2.61 for it reception but i have been missing a lot of calls)
nottosmart vanilla: unfortunately i didnt get to try this but i read that its a good rom.
i really liked mun's, faria's and xplore. it really depends on what your looking for your wizard....mun's was real stable, xplore and faria had free memory above 30mb and were vanilla roms. we owe a lot to these guys for their hard work and there're the reason i started cooking (btw thanks molski for your cooking pack..its awesome). thanks guys.

Best Rom For HTC Wizard?

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).

I am completely of agreement with you.

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

I agree. i have been on this fourum reading for a while now. I recently desided to become a member.
For the prize core 2 definatly gets my vote. it has been the most stable. doesn't require soft or hard resets.
i belive by far the best yet....
I know you chefs are always on the grind trying to make better.
Appreciated :}

I have a quick question...
Which one is newer/better?
Faria's WWE WM6 Rom ?
Or Faria's HTC Wizard Final ROM with Pro Kitchen?

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.

is there a stable wm6 rom???

is there a stable wm6 rom that features wifi and bluetooth support???
because all the roms iv'e tried recently lacked the support of either bluetooth or wifi or both...
the only stable rom i tried was the crossbow one but that did not offer the toutch apps or anything..and became highly unstable after installing all the cabs i needed like the home plug and touch flow cube
so is there any rom or kitchen out there that does support these features???
my wizard is a g3
and is unlocked

curious...which ROMs have you tried recently that lacked support for bluetooth or wifi.....i thought that was pretty standard in every ROM....

ive tried nbd 8.1,8.2,8.3,9.0,9.1 the 8 series were better than the 9 series because the 8 series sometimes worked fine
tried wizard retouched rom no bt giving the error after searching for devices
tried blackdiamond 2.0 no wifi and sometimes bt but most times errrors
just flashed to xda wm6 v3 so im trying this one out for a few days...

mfrazz's ROM's have always been incredibly stable for me. I've tried numerous others, such as NBD 8.3, 9.0, BlackDiamond 2.0, and have had issues with all of those. XM6 on the other hand has been nothing but stable or me.

hmmm...you should probably try whiterats or theloon custom roms or build your own with one of the many kitchens out there. i have been between the two on my wizards for awhile now and i have yet to experience issues with BT or WiFi

I can look at releasing the OEM / SYS / ROM folders for XM6r3 if people want that. As for the kitchen itself (the tools) I use HyperCore (so you just put the OEM / SYS / ROM folders in the Build area). You should be able to drop these folders into any Kitchen (with slight modifications, like the name of the .nb file in the ROM folder as various kitchens want it named various ways, but you just rename it).
You can do similar by just using HyperCore to dump the nk.nbf and then packagetool it. I just tried that myself on the XM6r3 full and it appears to ahve pulled apart. Only thing is that most of my OEM entries are in the SYS folder for some reason after it finished.

stable rom
i´m testing octaivoi 4.5 and dont fail, this looks so stable works bt, wifi, cam, dont freeze and works with 3th part apps

i have flashed bd 3.0 and it works great wir bluetoothwacht and its a great rom too

The best rom without doubt I have tried TNT 5 HTC PROFESSIONAL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328917

i think u should try several roms to figure out which one is best suitable for ur equiment

the easiest kitchen in my opinion is farias the rom is also very stable

stable rom
stable rom --> tested wifi an bluetooht --> ICTDifrentie ROM

Close the thread!!

yeah close the thread im sticking with xda this is the most stable on my hardware and why should i change a winning horse so im sticking to this one and waiting for mfrazzz to cook up a next release before im changing roms again
but it was a nice thread reading all your reactions also for the cookers out there it's nice to know that on some machines the roms i did not like worked perfect for other people...happy cooking end keep giving us new stuff!!!

Help needed

I have tried almost every ROM for my MDA Pro (WM6) i found on this forum and every one has worked really slow and there was a long list of bugs (appears to be only on my MDA). Can some one send me a link or ROM via mail or via any way that is fast and reliable and stable WM6 (if possible with Task manager,Windows Live...). Sorry if my english is bad
TXH

you should try the last Beasty&Leo Rom that was made for 64MB only, that has decent speed, very few bugs, and almost no crashes for me. of course, you must realize that these are all "beta" ROMs, so you'll always have some trouble...

I have made very good experiences with Ranju's ROM v 7.4.
Seems quite stable and very fast to me. It never causes any unexpected softresets. The radio I recommend is 1.15.
So good luck!

PDAVIET is very fast
I was using Ranju´s v7.6 and very stable, but if you want more speed try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392334

Which is a Best ROm WM6 UNiversal?

Which is a Best ROm WM6 UNiversal
test post test rom here
thanks

Different ROMs have different reasons to be liked. It depends what you want from a ROM as the cookers have put different things in them. All of them are very good.
It's best you check out each of the ROM forums and see what best suits you.
Personally, I've installed quite a few of them to find which suits my needs the best.

My recommendation is that you READ and LEARN as most of all here made it when entered this site by first time, that´s the best way for you to know what is the best ROM.
Good luck

It's your choice
Take Tomal's V8.2 and be happy.
Or simply try all self.

Same thought

try this
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421102 not bad at all stable so far and fast

It does not exist yet
<Sorry for lengthy one.. but its one of the FAQ time and again asked and clarified>
Seriously..
A perfect super ROM that is WM6 or WM6.1 for Universal does not EXIST as device is not made for WM6 and above, whatever available is simply ported and made to work for Universal by tweeking the stuff.
The best ROM for Universal is undoubtedly the one that came with it.
I own Uni since 2005 and really have not faced any issues with the stuff that came with it and everything just works as expected.
Everything else simply works for a period till another version out or little longer till you get equally frustrated with it, something or other will be wrong with any of the cooked ROMs for simple reason that the cookers may not allocate equal amount of time/resources for developing and testing like M$ .
If you dont bother about the missing/nonworking features of a ROM that is cooked that contain most of your requirements, simply flash it and use it.
Feedback the comments/findings back through this forum, if cooker finds time or feels need to fix them, look for another version from them.
In my observation since I joined (last two months) and comments by experienced users who joined this site years back almost same and the efforts are to make Uni live longer and keep the enthusiasm of cookers and their passion to share their work and knowledge. Nothing is being claimed in response except some good thank you messages and encouraging notes and small donations to keep them singing. So its all your call as rightly disclaimed by cookers

I am not agree that "The best ROM for Universal is undoubtedly the one that came with it."
Perhaps could be the more stable but not the best, as wm6.1 comes with a lot of new features to take more advantage of devices.

Wanted: ROM WM6.x for Uni with support for Scandinavian keyboard and BT Sound
Hi all,
After scanning the forum for this topic in the last 2 days (it has been raining all weekend, and the wife is going horsbackriding, nothing else to do...), I decided to put up this post.
A lot has been said about "What is the best WM6.x ROM for Uni". I am still running on the original ROM and WM5. No complaints. Only this that I would like to see improved is the available RAM for storage. When installing software on my Jasjar, I always install on SD when possible. But som software is just screaming for installation on the device. And this makes installing new software always a challenge.
Right now this is what I have in memory:
Storage: total 43.50, in use: 39.04, free: 4.46
Program: total 50.16, in use: 28.78, free: 21.38
So I started wondering if one of the new WM6.x ROMs would improve my memory problem? I use Opera, skype and msn the oftest of all default windows programs. All other are the ones I purchased/downloaded like GPS/navigation, mediaplayers, weather, alarm, backup and wifi scanner, among other.
What I find most important when going for a new ROM, is better memory, BT sound (don't need a2dp, I have a Jabra BT8040 that does the trick for me in mono), and Scandinavian keyboard. Oh yes, and real time push email. Guess this means I need at the least AKU2.
Now this last one I am not sure if the keyboard option is supported per default. I use the sym button to get access to the special characters like ø,æ and å.
That my Jasjar gets the look of a Touch Pro 2 is a nice bonus, but not a must ;-). I am so pleased with my Jasjar, even after 4 years of daily usage, I still am convinced that there is still no worthy alternative available. Even though I have been flirting with the Touch Pro 2....
So guys, what are my options?

Well the options you have
1) use the same rom LOL
2) Use the rom's here some of them have more free storage...
i'm flashed to thingonaspring v1.1 which gives you 40.69 mb free memory after flashing.... And the one with most free storage memory is contullas rom... but after flashing to this rom you would need to do doc format every time you reflash another rom and it is bit old build now...
3)Or simply get bigger sd card
4) well about the looks there are lots of GUI software like WAD2, rltoday, home++ , SPB mobile shell, etc so use some of those themes for new looks..

Been using Tomal 8.81 for a while and so far fast and stable, recommend.

I can recommend Tomal's 8.5 too. I'm using it for several months without problems: fast and stable.
