Best WM6 ROM: Most Beautiful, Undergournd, PdaViet3, clean Orwell or Molski 3.3 with Crossbow style?
What's your vote? Let's take a poll.
Underground...
I haven't tried all of them so it wouldn't be fair if I voted. I have tested PdaViet3, Underground, and Molski's 3.3 though and of those I prefer the Underground. Will be testing MB over the next few days...
Underground. Stable, Fast.
Clean orwell
I wil try the MB version next, but other version contain mistakes and stuff I don't want.
If you're able to do all the tweaking yourself the clean versions are best
MB
After trying both, I found Underground faster, but MB just felt more complete. Also, Underground had the annoying problem of my alarms not going off, thus making me late for work and school. Couldn't live with that so I switched back to MB. Hopefully, the next edition will be faster and retain the apps included in MB.
I have tried them all, Most beautiful wins
I have tested and used for at least a week. Usage includes, phone calls, voicemails, conference calls (three ways), wifi, web surfing (proxy work, home and via gprs) Pictures, installing third parties SPB Software.
The one that looks and feels together, quick, agile is Most Beautiful.
IMHO.
I'm kinda like the kid at the pool, sticking his big toe into the water and trying to decide if the water will be too cold. Are any of these really a major step forward over the last 2.26.10.2 ROMs? (I'm using Molski's FINAL)

mb is the best, comes with good apps also....
pdaviet 4 the others sucks
Most Beautifull
Between my experience with MB and Underground -- MB wins.
I had significant battery life issue with Underground. MB seems to be as stable as I had it with Molski's 2.2 ROMs.
Speed?? I don't know how you guys can compare the two. They seem equally fast. I've used SKTool's benchmark on both and they are both getting very similar scores.
yeah i tried everything
MB is the best so far...
maybe something better will come along later
I have flashed every ROM available for my Wizas. I am liking MB the best with some tweaks that I tend to be anal about of course.
Most Beautiful
Just like the name says.......so far.
I really can't comment much other than I'm using Most Beautiful, and after about 2 days of tweaking, poking, and loading various apps and cabs onto it, it feels really nice and has been stable for me for over a day (once I took the beta battery status off and went to .4 its behaved VERY well).
Like I said, I haven't used the other roms so I can't dismiss them, but MB is very nice for me. I wasn't sure I was going to stick with it at first over the Faria AKU 3.3, but I've about tweaked it to where it feels close (and better in some ways) than that ROM (The Faria 3.3 ROM is Excellent in my opinion. This one is very good and approaching it.)
I'm looking forward to the port of XDA Live ROM from Hermes as its supposed to be very Faria 3.3 like but WM6.
Currently testing the PDAMobiz WM6 which is promising.
How to download it ?

finally...i think?
i finally decided after a few (ahem, at least a dozen) switching between MB rom and faria's 3.3 that im going to stick to.......Faria's 3.3.
i guess its because of its completeness.. almost everything you need is on the rom itself. no more looking for stuff to add or what not...
well, i guess i'll be sticking to this for a while...
Hello, everyone here say that WM6 is much faster than original WM5 rom. I for one have managed to flash every shipped WM6 rom and what can I say: molski AKU 3.3 WM5 is BY FAR the fastest rom! Why is that?
I've encountered many issues connected with using wm6, like: softkey lag (it takes almost 1 sec. for wizard to proceed the softkey. The screen rotation is also slow.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

When you find out, let me know
I managed to "beat" the TMobile 2.26 in benchmark. System speed is similar, but still not the same thing.
What WM6 ROm version did you actually use to compare and how did you compare?
Lots of people here are now using WM6 including myself and I really don't see any issues regarding performance when you compare to WM5.
So, I suggest you to play little more specially with these recently ones like X-plore 1.1, read the benchmarks and see the difference.

I thought Molski's 3.3 aku was snail paced, 2.3 aku is by far the fastest. superrom1.1 with NO overclocking is faster than every other rom with overclocking! ymmv
Man, I've tried EVERY rom, starting from UNDERGROUND, through MB, and ending on Xplore 1.1
Each rom has the same issue, softkey lag, and slow screen rotation. Maybe it is faster in TCPMP or in whatsoever. Nevertheless, comparing to Molski WM5 or even T-mobile 2.26 - WM5 is much faster !
When talking of speed why don´t we share sktools benchmarks with and without overclocking to each ROM without any software. Just after hardreset, tweaks, and sktools.
Let´s start to compare??
BTW the overclocking speed that TCPMP shows is more specific than to compare batterystatus vs. omapclock.
Btw. after anichillus will be ready with Xplore 2.0 this discussion will end - because I believe him to create the fastest.
yea xplore 2.0 will be the tits
It would be a neat thing to compare all these roms. One added complexity is that many of the custom roms are by default overclocked, so they would need to be manually throttled down for the comparison to be fair. (For example, supperrom 1.1 is by default overclocked to 252 mhz, Molski's has both smartskey and battery status installed, but I don't remember the default settings.) In addition, filecache and sd cache settings can greatly affect reported sd read speeds. Also, I'm not sure how the benchmarks compare with "real world" speed, but its the best we have for now.
Have fun!
1. Xplore 1.1 (taken from thread) 195Mhz (BS)
2. XPlore 2.0 (early stadium) (taken from thread) 195mhz
Poppamops, a favor...
Since you're running the new x-plore, could you check the following registry values?
HKLM>Drivers>SDCARD>ClientDrivers>Class>MMC_Class:
BlockTransferSize
HKLM>Drivers>SDCARD>ClientDrivers>Class>SDMemory_C lass:
BlockTransferSize
HKLM>System>StorageManager>FATFS:
CacheSize
HKLM>System>StorageManager>Filters>freplxfilt:
ReplStoreCacheSize
I've found these tweaks will increase the reported SD read rate greatly.
Thanks,
Well i think farias wm6 (the real thing) is working awesome and it is so much faster than my mda with wm5. Especially the soft keys and especially the message buttons and internet explorer button on top of the phones. So i highly recommend this rom. And i think you may have a bunk wm6 rom. switch it up to one of the newer ones and you'll see a difference

At your clock speed no wonder it's going fast.
You'll burn your wizard if you keep it at 299 ...be carefull.
Well i am running Farias rom on my other 8125. I have 2 8125's and 1 MDA. On the one with farias rom it is only overclocked to 260. thats it. Havent really tried anything higher and really dont need to. ITs pretty fast. And Anichillus i have heard some real good stuff about your rom. seriously i had to ponder about which WM6 rom to use. EIther yours or Farias. Its just farias had a couple of programs already included that i needed. But on my next 8125 i will be running Xplore 2. So im looking forward to that one.
299mhz at BatteryStatus is only about 260+mhz in real.
Yeah i think it was about 270 something. somewhere around there

Also good for comparing clockspeed is tcpmp. It shows clockspeed
Guys , the BatteryStatus shows the right speed !
Other don't ! How can you trust a program with your CPU if it doesn't even show you right speed ?
How do I know that ? Well , just read clock speed with omap or any other just after flash...it should be 195MHz on a stoc rom ... then contradict me.
I think you're wrong anichillus. We may have 195 mhz omap processor, it runs on 170 mhz in windows though. It is a hardware but software trick.

Can you share something to support that ? Or it's just an affirmation ?
Well I believe I have found the offset for the Kaiser PagePool and it is set at the standard 6MB. here is the copy from HexWorkshop 4.2
FFFF FFFF 9B4F FFFF 64B0 0000 6400 0000 C874 0480 0000 6000 0000 0000
As you can see its almost the same as the Hermes which makes life easy if Oli or Pof would like to confirm my findings that would be great! The Offset is 21963880.. This should make for easy adjustment of the pagepool once we have the Imgfs corrected
seems correct, but the pagepool offset may vary from one rom to another, see here how to find it.
Cool thanks for the confermation Pof. I have also spoke with Taz on getting the imgfs tools modded to work with the Kaiser. It will be a great day in Kaiser History when that happens!

Great news mate I cant wait to flash
Coming from a Wizard background where to me a 6mb page pool was my optimal, what size page pool is recomended with the128mb memory on our Kaisers. I must admit with the larger memory on the Kaiser I have stopped closing apps and just minimise most apps and let Windows get on with managing resources. It works much better than my Wizard in this respect.

I am honestly not sure I might go down to a Zero PagePool and test that since there is so much RAM to be used Untill someone does some benchmarks with different page pool sizes I would have to say that 4MB and 12MB would probably be the fastest since that seems to be the case with most devices
Hey austinsync...
I'm not finding it at the offset you have above... For reference I'm finding it here:
0x003A6F80
That is the same location for both the ATT and HTC ROMs. Can you confirm? (or set me straight).
Cheers.
yes give me a minute ok. Also are you just opening the OS.nb in Hex editor or the whole .nbh?

Oh and I'm using Hex Workshop v5 (beta)
okay guys....hold on let me put on my flame suit.
so i've been readying this post and i can't for the life of me figure out what the hell you guys are talking about. coming from the 8525, i know when i flash there are two files...and one of them is the file you guys refer to. How do i edit these files? where are you guys getting these tools? Where can i read up to better understand what does what.

For better understand of the PagePool, take a deep reading in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295932 by Pof...
Sure helps you.
what the factory set RAM? I set mine to 4MB and forgot what it used to be someone check there untouched Kaiser for me please thanks
can no one look at there phone real fast and tell me what the Memory RAM is total??
On my Vario III, the total program ram is 101.38. That help?
thats perfect thank you!
I did something similar! I edited the OS.nb to 4mb pagepool and then flashed it but when I checked the total program RAM I didn't have a reference from the standard ROM, so I flashed back to check! jeje!
Anyway... I've noticed that there's no change in my total RAM after I changed to the 4mb pagepool..? Anyone else noticed this? Thanks....

Yes I have noticed this also guys no matter what you change the PagePool to in Hex it always reverts back to 6MB so this is some very interesting stuff. Maybe that offset isn't for the Kaiser or maybe the Kaiser doesn't have a Pagepool given the amaount of RAM it has from the factory I'm not sure myself until more testing is done.

F.A.Q.
Guide to Seeing MAX RAM:
In order to see the below effect, after initial startup be sure to go to Settings - Home Today - remove all Home Today options. Go to Program Files and Click Oxio. You will generally see around 30MB free. Now Reboot the Device. Once it starts when you click on the Start Menu you'll see Oxio as a quick shortcut since you used it last. Click that and you'll see the max Free Ram Upto 38MB. (128/96Dpi Mode)
What is RamDisk? Why do you let me configure it?
Unlike Flashdisk, RamDisk is temporary storage. It's used to store files or temporary files and folders till you reboot. One of the most common uses of it is to store Internet Browsing History/Cookies/Temp files there, so once you reset your phone it clears up. If you don't use RAMDISK and surf the net alot, cleaning your extra useless temp files and cookies can be a nuisance. This helps you out. You can create ramdisks from 2/4MB as high as 32MB on the 64 Uni and possibly more on the 128MB uni depending upon requirement. Remember once you reset your device the files stored in the ramdisk will wipe out. Some users don't need high ram disks and some don't need them at all. Meanwhile some users do a lot of surfing and want to clear their cache/temp/traces without pains of software. This ensures that!
Guide to Get Extra Storage & RamDisk:
1) Use the attached Ext-Rom Unlock Cab to get 10 MB Additional Storage!
2) See the RAMDISK Install.txt inside Ext ROM to get your ram disk active.
Why don't you use version 19900 (or newest cores) like others?
The simplest reason is I found Thing_xx Kitchen to be stable, fast and effective. I know everyone loves seeing the latest thing, but I personally believe what is Best is what is Effective and Efficient (Stable, Fast, Secure). The latest ROM's seem to have tons of bugs and issues (probably because of quick porting and less depth analysis). I find the kitchen I use as a very stable one, and one that offers the best overall. You must also realise that the Universal was given Windows Mobile 5.0 and not 6.x! All Roms that are 6.x for the Universal are ported. As a result you might never find a perfect compatible rom for the Universal. I feel stability on any 6.x rom kitchen is important. My ROM's are aimed to be Stable, Fast & Effective (in that order).
Why is my RAM less at times?
After loading the system (bootup) , if you go to program files or settings or any other location of the device, ram is utilized immediately. Even after you exit the program folder, some of the ram is "cached" in so later attempts go faster. As a result ram may vary time to time. Our initial startup ram mentioned goes through a quick process of multiple steps and a reboot in order to remove the extra cache. Movements made after seeing the initial ram will change the amount of free ram from time to time. It is possible that if you're using the RAMDISK it will convert there.
I need help! Can You Help Me?
If you need help please email me directly at admin @ rdosti.com or add me on msn messenger: [email protected]. Otherwise feel free to use the Xda Forums for help, suggestions,etc. I can not guarantee a response or a solution. I will try to help you out if I can.
"Wow! I love your rom. I wish I could help you!"
You actually can help me in one of the 3 ways as mentioned:
1) PM or email me and become a partner (help me find cabs, test roms and do some fun testing stuff).
2) Send me an email at admin @ rdosti.com , thanking me and telling me how you loved or liked the rom. (Keeps me motivated)
3) If you can donate even a dollar or more, I would appreciate it. I can't ask for funds, but if you feel I deserve it or feel you want to thank me, this would be a great way for me to get another handset (universal or other and make more roms) (probably motivational as well). I don't drink, so I can't ask for a beer - Donations can be sent to admin @ rdosti.com (PayPal).
Instructions to Flash:
Hold "Flashlight Bulb Icon & the Power On Button" (at the same time) and using your pin/stick push the "soft reset" button. Wait till you get a screen that shows your bootloader on the bottom. I advise using the latest bootloader for your G3/G4 device.
The "bulb icon" is on the center-side of your PocketPC next (left of) the volume (up & down/left & right) key OR on the right side of the camera & speech/recorder hardware key.
The "power button" is on the top side of the Pocketpc - right next to the SDCARD/MMC card slot.
The "reset" hole/button is on the side behind the pocketpc (opposite side of the bulb icon key). The "reset" hole is the tiny hole in between the charger port and the headphone jack.
Is Your Rom 100% Safe?
No, my Rom Is NOT 100% Safe. I take no liability of any issues arising due to the flashing or trying to flash of the ROM or any of my work. There are chances things may mess up and cause issues or even "brick" or "kill" your phone.
Your phone should be SIM-Unlocked before flashing. We have used the Universal RUU (CID bypassing) in our zip, however remember all ROM's have a chance of failure or causing problems. I take no responsibility of the way by ROMs are used.

Thanks so much!
Hi!
Screenshot the ROM?
thank you i will test now but i have a qusetion why i can't find rom like TNT for kjam so nice roms ... all roms for UNI look a same maybe we dont have good cookers or what
kjam - Isnt Universal.
Univeral = Jasjar, O2 Exec, Etc.
Well the best cookers..are busy with other things
Cookers like us have to play a role now Though my main focus will be Vanilla Roms since I prefer letting the user put what he/she wants, rather than adding too many things that some people like, others done.
I have never seen a WM6 or WM6.1 ROM with 31,4Mb of RAM free. Awesome!!!

Support the 128MB ROM?
Mod Edit: Please don't quote the original post just to ask a question, it clutters up the thread - use the "Reply" button instead
Am not too sure really honestly. You'd need to check or try it. I dont have a 128MB Universal to test out sadly. Hopefully it will , but am not totally sure.
After 2 hour's use:
It is really very fast and stable ROM. every thing working for me:
System:
1. Wi-Fi (working ).
2. Bluetooth (working ).
3. Phone ringing without delay.
4. Arabize (working ).
Software:
1. Destinator (Cool).
2. Opera Browser (cool).
3. Resco file explorer (working ).
4. Cash Organizer (working ).
Thanks dear for this nice ROM

thax for ur answer and i have kjam and uni lol i ask about this coz we need nice roms like TNT organized rom looking nice with HTC HOME nice sounds NOT ALOT problems this what i mean .... if i know how i can cook i will cook sooooo nice roms but i dont know really how and really i dont looking b4 how i can cook i just look for kjam but i stoped coz i can't cook like it's right (TNT ) WE NEED GOOD COOKERS
I really love it being so free of "junk".
But the core is pretty old no? (asking)
Well look at the core this way ...
Universal by default never had WM6+.
If you look at in that perspective - WM 6.1 with any core that gives you stability and speed is better than any other core.
This is something that most people skip and forget about, because everyone feels that the latest core for OTHER devices is the best for Universal & IS INCORRECT. The truth is any core for 6.1 ported to universal is equally good - IF and ONLY if you get stability and speed.
I personally believe its better using an old core that brings you both stability and speed vs. that a new core that has complains for freezes, lack of stability and speed.
At the end of the day I found go with Stability and Speed over anything else.

Guys there are a lot of roms created by the genious minds of rom cooks here. id like everyone to share there view of the roms overview and a vote for the best rom cooked for the Universal. Sounds fun huh!
my list (sorry if I missed anyone)
ROM really depends on your needs . If the cook has put in the apps you use, go for his rom. Otherwise it takes up more space adding your own apps - or alternatively go for rDosti/B&L vanilla and add all your own.
The free memory is important to me (being a 64MB Uni owner!!), and I have recorded the free memory on a clean install with no SD card in.
I want working camera, TCMD TCPMP and Route66N7 to work properly (which likes its memory!). I don't use wkTask, but prefer QuickMenu or currently playing with Battery Status (but after making own theme with weather, this took up too much program memory, and although looked nice I decided that I needed functional and not eye candy!). Fast is also good . I also need my Blade BT headset to work with my BT GRPS mouse.
My observations (in no particular order):
Tomal 7.7 OS 19900 (19900'2), 27.8 MB free (program memory) here
-this is stable and has all apps I like *my favourite* (also has flash-disk)
EFN 2.4 OS 19588 (19900'3), 27.4 MB free here
-seems stable, need to add few apps (eg, TCMD, TCPMP), but has VC - keeping my eye on this! (more of want than need as I don't get 3G at home!)
rDosti 9 OS 19188 (19174), >33.9 MB free here
-seems stable, vanilla so need to add all apps you want (incl. Word, Excel, .NET etc). Built on my old favourite ROM from thingonaspring (below) - but with same problem. Can't get Blade (BT headset) to work
PDAVIET 2.61 OS 19949, 28.6 MB free here
-hangs occasionally, couldn't change alarms
-not a rom cooker on this forum, so feedback is useless from here!
Mo3ulla 1.5 OS 19588, 26.97 MB free here
-seems stable, but was disappointed with free program mem
Thingonaspring 41.28 OS 19188 (19174), 29.8 MB free here
-stable, excellent free memory, settings/buttons had no lock or backlight, some components getting old (TCMD) - has real VGA (if you like that sort of thing!)
-seems to have stopped cooking any more universal rom's - anyone heard from thing?
JWRights here
-no information, except was slow in dealing my cards in Patiences game
Beasty&Laurentius 2.08.01 Business here
-they also have newer test version and older FullFlavour/Vanilla versions, and were my favorite cookers
-beasty still pops back to help, and may produce newer rom, but has gone on to some wierd htc machineAdvice: pick your ROM(s), and help the cookers sort out bugs & features by encouraging them - and they can use this information with others too.
Hope this helps someone
great
thanks jonmorgan for your effort and views. come on guys more overviews will help our good rom cookers to improve their cooking by giving out your reviews of their great and effortfull work..
My vote goes for....
Ranju´s v7.6 & v7.7 definetly!

Ranju's 7.6 here!
Using Tomals 7.7 I must say, eaven after testing some others...
This is the best.
Its stable, fast, i love flashdisk and storage space

--- Did you try 9.1 (it has extra support for BT mouse and other BT devices. I would suggest trying that and then letting me know if it doesnt work with your Blade... I believe 9.1 should fix that (the main reason i released it).

That's one of the fastest roms or may be the FASTEST rom ever created for the Uni, and no, the free program memory after reboot is 26-27+ MB with some programs in start up on 64 MB Universal! You guys don't write some stuff before test it

Yes, I can also confirm this rom is THE FASTEST so far for universal, it is very stable and was the only rom that did not give me phone hang-ups, but because it is so vanilla I had a few issues getting some parts of phone to work...so had to switch back to 7.7 rom

Sorry, I did test it. I have now re-flashed and can report it to be 26.97 (I have edited my post).
This is strange - the total is only 46.27, where-as other ROM flashers are getting their totals much higher. I wonder if Mo3ulla got this higher, the free program memory would also go up.
I don't know how to test speed, except if my card game goes slow
Tomal is the best
I also have flashed tomal ranju's 7.7 rom and its really col and stable but what i noticed is it drains my battery very much is this normal or have i done something wrong?
anyways ranju 7.7 is the best for me.
and guys keep up the great work
Well, Ran's 7.7 is the one I like the most now as he provides me the apps I need. No wasting time to install , just up rom and use. I'm looking forward to the official release of version 8.0 from Tomal. Stable, no irritating problems though there're small problems with my EXEC, not sure whether those happen to other universals.
Cheers!
wm5
im going back to the wm5 aku3.5
my prblem is solved in sdhc driver. damn it it was sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll after all.
ryt now im sticking on video call my uni is lame w/o it.
for cooked ROM probably ranju 7.7
but i got all apps for wm6 the contol panel thing so i used rdosti clean ROM v5-v10
ill wait rdosti v15 it could be 64mb free of RAM i think. joke
nice looking:
pamquang diamond rom
cons: freezes, call slow response. sometimes shutdown automatically..
efn video call- it didnt work on mine
rdosti - lots of memory free but apps its up to you spot wer the good version is because my opera 9.5 build 405 not run on v9.1..
hey anybody cud share a files/hacks to run opera 9.5 on wm5.

That's the main point! Most people didn't try all ROMs and therefore their oppinion isn't accurate...
I've tried all, except rDosti v10 and my favorite are rDosti v9.1 (I don't use because we can't install VCall out cab) (probably the fastest) and PDAVIET 2.61 OS 19949 (the 2nd fastest ROM)!
PS: I don't have problems to set the alarm on PDAVIET's ROM!
Ranju 7.7 .......
Tried Darkforce, mu3ulla and rDosti.
rDosti is my favourite, because
- his ongoing support
- quick problem solving with new ROM
- a lot of free program memory
Only things I miss at the moment:
- Flash disk (where is it? What is it?)
- good BT support (Please leave BT enabled when connection to my GPS!)
But, hey, he's posting a new ROM every day, so maybe next week?
