So which are the modern ROMs?

I'm using Darkforce right now, but I read its not going to be updated for awhile, and there are ones based on a newer source. So what are the modern ones?
Midget_1990 v1.0
Pdavied 2.10.07
Jwrightmcps 2.02.02 WWE
Are those the 3 most recent, based on the current version? Anyone have any pro's / cons? we need a wiki, on all the different versions

The most recent ROMs are:
Midget_1990 V1.0
Ivan V3 (the download includes a modded version of Midget's ROM as well)
PDAViet 2.10.07 (Which is actually a mod of Midget's ROM)
Ivan V1 and V2 (I think V2 is still on my webserver...)
Jwright's and Darkforce are older ROMs using an older WM6 base - which, by no means, makes them worse
There is a Wiki page for WM6: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM6_Universal, feel free to update it with any information you feel is relevant

Is Ivan's the one in the thread titled "[NEW BUILD!!] Universal WM6 Professional Rom"?
I didn't relize Jwrightmcs was an old one. Darkforce has served me well but it has a few annoying bugs, so I've been thinking about upgrading.
Are you saying that PDAViet 2.10.07 and Ivan V3 are both mods of Midget?
Thanks!

Yeah - JWrights may be of the older base, but its still extremely popular

PDAViet is a mod of Midget's
Ivan's V3 is a mod of Ivan's V2. However, in the same RAR archive is also a version of Midget's ROM that Ivan modified to look like his version 3. This is why the RAR file is over 100Mb, whereas the average ROM archive is only about 55Mb.

Okay gotya, looks like i need to read through Ivan's thread.
Thanks.

Hi Ivan, beautiful rom
In contacts I can't change any contact because it does not save the change;have you a solution? cheers Cesare

Have both versions the contacts problem ?
The Wifi fix will be in v2, i didn't have any time to check it thoroughly before releasing, this is the reason why i didn't add it into either of the rom versions.

Yes in both versions I have contact problem and then there is not office

hmm then you used some weird stuff because i have office and it is in the rom
Or you used a extended rom from some older wm rom

Great ROM!
Ivan, I'm a bit confused about the small number of posts in this thread.
I think your ROM's are great, and this one is the best I ever used on my Universal!
Battery consumption is low, performance is great, stability is great.
Every Universal owner should install this ROM!

Most of the times, people only look to "sticky" posts...

[KITCHEN] BETA: Extended Elf/Elfin Kitchen for WM6.1

Extended Kitchen for Elf/Elfin
Elfin base: New Elfin 2.xx
OS base: VF Kaiser UK 3.08.161.0 (Build 19199)
Completely rebuild the XIP section based on:
- Kaiser: MSXIPKernel, MSXIPKernelLTK
- Elfin: OEMXIPKernel
adjusted boot.rgu by adding the 19199 related changes
OEM packages except of OEMDrivers are clean 19199 packages
Requires the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package
Full XIP editing support
I've added a tool that removes the RGU's from the rom and moves all the DSM content to one DSM
Please read:
For the case that you are a cooking ROMs and getting donations for it, I would really appreciate a small donation,
cos I'm saving money for a new device. (I thing that would be fair )
Download: ELFIN_DEV_v2.1_Build_19199.rar

elfin rom not work on elf and viceversa, but I am not sure.Because there are some rom that can be used with elf and elfin.

The new 2.20.x.x Elfin ROMs work with both devices.
I asked swiftblade a while ago. It has something to do with the XIP.

ok, great
could someone try if this rom is booting on Elf/Elfin:
http://rapidshare.com/files/89216919/OS-ElfIn.rar

it is the final 19199 build... I know it is confusing, cos there exists 19521, 19716, but this one is much newer (much faster, more stable, not beta)... don't ask my what MS is doing with this numbers, I've looked into all this builds and non of those is fake (only the 20000 build was fake, but that was not even AKU1 )

I am using an Elf (Wasabi 64/128), I have flashed 2.20 ROM (for Elfin) for sometimes. It did worked on my Elf with the result that Program Memory became bigger than what it should be and extended over Storage Memory (less Storage Memory).
It also consumed higher memory.
BTW, it did work.
+++
There is one thing that I cannot do, I cannot make an OS.nb smaller than 50MB. It cannot be flashed to my Elf.

Correct 50MB is the Limit which should give you a pretty nice Big Storage Anyhoos.

@Bepe..It is great pleasure to see your wonderful kitchen at this forum.. And yes, I can confirm that all the 2.20.xxx.xx ROMs work on both the ELFs and ELFins without any hitch.
I am downloading your Build 19199 now and will try it out after work....
@Noonski... Welcome Back! The ELF forum was never the same without you..

Report
Already flashed OS-ElfIn to my Elf, it does work and it is much better than install Elfin 2.20 ROM on my Elf.
Camera doesn't work.

What pool does it have 4Mb or 8Mb???. Lately to those who we have ELF have us forgotten because 8Mb of pool it is great for us that our machine has few RAM, and nobody can say to me like to change the pool to 4Mb.
Thank you

Ok, thanks for testing
There are no apps installed on this rom, cos I'm not releasing an Elf ROM without having an Elf.
I'm just making a Kitchen the other ROM cooks can use.
This Kitchen is just a "perfect" port of the new OS and to add the OEM apps is job of the cooks.

yes, it is WM 6.1. Build 19199, forget about the other WM 6.1 builds... this one is the newest one, more stable, much faster, not beta.
19716 Is beta build and very slow
19521 Is a very old build... I've known this build for about 4 months
191xx Also old and some of them beta
19400 Also new... but no idea what exactly that is... it is somehow different from the other build
19199 Is the new build ported from a leaked HTC Kaiser rom, it seams to be something like final AKU 1; Try it, it's very fast
I have no idea were all this builds higher than 19199 come from, but all of them are real and not fake numbers. So I'm thinking MS is working with different teams on this builds. Build 195xx 197xx seam to have a newer kernel, 191xx have newer SYS stuff, 19199 is the perfect one with new kernel and SYS

[03-24] cooked a new *English* wm6.0 Rogers rom 1.83

This is not an amibtious rom but its my first release.
The Rogers Rom seems to be newest of the wm 6.0 series and has some interesting changes, Call Display being one of them. Being on Rogers in Canada I decided to release a cooked rom based on it. I left alot of it original but upgraded a couple of things and added a bit.
I noticed that some of the software rogers released is different than the ones in Alex's kitchen kit.
For example the 4.08 camera in rogers is 4_08_28875_00 Alex's kit has 4_08_28288_00. This may indicate that some bug fixes were made but I am not sure.
Its just another ROM to try.
Removed:
Windows Live,
Cyberon Voice Speeddial 1.2
HTC Home
Bubblebreaker
Solitaire
Rogers bmp, wallpapers, some of the awful ring tones
Windows Update
Upgraded:
.net 2.0 to .net 3.5
SqlCeMobile 3.0 to 3.5
Added:
Quickmenu
GlossyBlackbars
Some themes I made
A few extra ring tones
Pocket Sudoku V.9
Synchrotime V0.95
Sleuth's UC Compliancy
I did a small trick where I took my animated.gif and called it startup.gif then simply copied it during the cold boot. End result, if you want to replace it with your own animate.gif just copy over top of the file with your own as it is not part of the ROM.
Also uploaded seperately a nice Symian Splash Screen and the original Rogers radio extracted from the Rom.

Thanks. I will try this out.

Cool bro, I've been waiting for someone to use the Rogers rom as base since we got a hold of it. Thanks, and I'll give it a whirl tomorrow and post some feedback as soon as I can.

So far the ROM seems pretty quick & clean. I have not installed any apps yet so I will report back again.
But, the radio seems to be ROM dependant. I have tried it with a few other WM6 Roms with no luck.

is the ROM dependant on this radio?

Rom dependant on the Rogers Radio?
I cannot say, I used the radio released with the rom. I have not tried other wm6.0 radios on it yet.
I wouldnt suggest using the radios for the wm6.1 roms such as the 1.64.xx or the 1.58.xx I would doubt they would work.

When I installed this custom ROM, it gets stuck at the end of the customization "Running SDAutoRun.exe".
I do have a SDConfig file in the root of my memory card.
Any help would be appreciated.

Help Required

I am noob in windows mobile I have just switched from nokia n73 to HTC S710. Some people think it was not a good idea but anyhow. 4 days back I tried to upgrade my cousins gene but after applying HSPL it was dead. I asked a lot of people in gene subform how recover, in the end a Rom chef told me if I had bought phone this year then there is no solution to it. So finally I had to take it to HTC service centre and they have asked me to check after 5 days.
Now I have bought Vox myself so learning from past experience I am asking you guys first. I have read wikki though.
1) Which is the fastest but most stable rom? (Which does not have bugs)
NEO ROM for Vox v0.9 [New XIP 20202]
Windows Mobile 6.1 v1.1
Or Hikey's Rom tell me the version.
or someother.
2) From my information given Which USPL should I use 1.16 or 1.34 or 1.35 and also can I use them or will they brick my phone?
My Device Info
Boot Loader
Vox
ONBL 1.34.0000 wifi
LG
Vox
SPL 1.34.0000
Vox IU
CPLD - 04
OS From about
Windows Mobile 6 Standard
CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4)
Radio Version 4.1.13.54_03_.10.90
RIL Version 2.002
Any help will be appreciated.

First you should decide whether you want WinMo 6.0 or 6.1. As far as I heard the ROMs with the new XIPs are faster. I would say the Neo ROMs are the fastest 6.0 ROMs. For 6.1 there isn't such a huge difference But my experience is that the 96 dpi ROMs are pretty fast, but they are by far not bug free. Otherwise you have to decide what software you need. Gonzo's ROM has everything in it, my Lite ROM is pretty much the same, just without some apps.
In the Wiki is a list of hopefully most ROMs.
For USPL the 1.16 is definately working, as it did for over a year now. I don't know if the newer ones have any advantages or not. If you go to the wiki and follow the guides carefully you should not brick your phone. Link is in my signature.

My SPL is 1.34.000 as I have seen from my bootloader information. So can I use 1.16.
Is Neo Rom .9 bug free, have you tried it also I have read few threads people saying Hikey's WM6.1 roms are stable but does not have his thread here. From my information given is stock rom for my current os available somewhere.

It is on the XDA-dev ftp. There are a couple of shipped ROMs.
