Whats so great about Dutty's ROMs?

So, for those of us that are a little slow...
What is it about Dutty's ROMs that make people go CrAzY over them?
I'm looking for specifics. Why do people love Dutty's ROMs sooooo much? What makes them so much better than say Q-mobile or Alex's ROMs?
I just get the feeling that I am missing something that everyone else knows about why Dutty's stuff is so popular compared to the other ROMs.
There has to be a good reason... anyone care to clue me in?

Dive on in and find out for yourself. Some people don't like his ROM's others do as you can see. There are some really great Chefs out there and they all make really good ROM's. You should flash to see which ROM you prefer more. As some ROM's have specific drivers that only work with radio 1.27.14.09.

whats great about any cooked rom is tha the cook who created it shares it with us!!!!!

Theres nothing about, every cook on here is great. Every cook has their own style, the tweaks, the softwares...
But Dutty's is very popular, because we have alot of new members, they just learned how to flash, and now they need roms. Dutty's rom, has the the biggest threads, everyone makes it exciting, and the new members join his thread.
But I use Dutty's and Schaps, both great roms.

Hey sorry to drive this thread into hell, but does it take super C++ skills to do this or is it just "simply" putting things together then compiling it?
I didn't like Duttys roms BTW, I love what he is doing and I like he has provided us with some OEM CABS, but his rom isn't for me I liked Shaps because it came with a bunch of stuff to customize it to the limits.

Theres a rom tool now Makes cooking alot easier. To me its about making everything flow together, make sure one software doesn't mess the other up, and getting the right tweaks.

I've tried a few roms and I always go back to dutty roms he always includes applications I use and his tweaking has been really to my liking compared to others

dutty's roms are cool, but i perfer a lite rom and to put my own apps on it . i think most people like dutty's rom because they use the same apps that dutty builds in, + the speed! But, i perfer the highest benchmark results! thats what makes me choose the rom.

Dutty's rom may not be the best rom for you. But he is the most hardworking rom maker here and always comes up w/ latest software. In addition, he is very responsive to questions too.

i second that notion

I agree with raz and I also encourage testing other ROM's as well to find out whats best for you, and our attitude should be: show appreciation (donations or a thank you, people should know that making a ROM takes a lot of effort) and making positive criticisms of flaws; not to personalities ; that benefits the whole Kaiser community.

@ekw: Which lite ROM do you use?

hey i'm new to ppc and pda's. i got a toch diamond and using dutty rom v4. its fast and i like it. also just want to say thanks to xda. you guys run a very good site. oh one other thing i noticed is that my diamond used to have only 85mb storage space but after the rom update i got 115mb

Also fans of Dutty's ROM (Dutty's WM6.1 WWE), for me, just 2 words "fast and stable", like raz said, Dutty's cooked all his ROM well.
I wish he come and upgrading his ROM

beautiful rom...

First of all, please do not go digging on the grave yard, it disturbs the other corpses.
Secondly, since dutty has released a Kaiser rom in well over a year, isn't it time we close this thread. The Kaiser rom forum is cluttered enough without having to read new posts about how people with Diamonds and HD's love duttys roms

Too much info?

I admit it! Im overwhelmed with all the information on this site. I would really appreciate the technical expertice of this helpful community. So far Ive installed HardSPL and im downloading roms from alex, faria, and thinkin about dutty's roms. Im researching on which radio version is the best for me and so far it looks like 1.47.30.10 from DR Puttingham's experience. Im also starting to understand that the best way is really to cook up your own rom but id rather start with a lite or clean version with great looks, speed, functionablitly. Im curious as to why I only see a few people cooking up roms when i know there are better chef's out there like...molski? again...what do i know..im just a noob.
so here i am asking the vast community their opinions of best of...
best chef? (not just for quantity but for quality)
best lite/clean rom?
best full rom?
most useful radio along with your location?
top useful programs?

You know you're never going to get a proper answer to these as everyone has their own preference not mention they aren't gonna say one is better than the other... Why not just try them all and see what you like?
And I think most people don't cook their own ROMs cause:
1) They don't want to learn how to, or
2) They don't have the time, or
3) Somebody else is already doing the hard work (and doing it well..), so why bother?
Personally, I think I'm a combination of the 2nd and 3rd, which therefore makes #1 redundant (for me)..

okay ... first of all you should really think about what you post before you post.
You can't compare the chefs because each one invests there precious time into our community here (WITHOUT COMPENSATION) and does the hardwork for us of making a rom that is better than the piece of **** our carrier shipped us. So in my eyes they are all the greatest and bestest. Choosing a radio is a trial experience you have to find the one you like that best suites your location.
And if you don't like what other chefs are doing get the dumped rom for your carrier and work on it your self.
this by the way is the nicest reply you'll probably get (not unless someone just won the lotto or got laid or is stoned .. .in which case they won't be able to reply ...)

You are not the first, and wont be the last to ask these kind of questions "Best,top,most"
Here are 3 outcomes:

There is no best, only what you think is best.
but most of people have their brains working will either go 1 or 3. So, put on your flame suit and start flashing.

Anyone want to cook together?

Hi Everyone,
I have seen many people asking for new roms and some awsome cooks such as papa and ttran released their new roms lately, but no one except Ivan in this sub forum talking about how or the process of cooking a new rom. I am on my way to learn and cook my first rom. However, there is many to read. Is there any out here interesting cooking together? kind of ...co-chefs? So we can share what we learnt and help each other out?

I saw that nobody had answered this thread and i needed my 999th post so i could make my 1000th post thread, so here we go.
I think that this might a good idea, but its hard to coordinate and theres not really a way for two people to make one rom, and there are sure to be conflicts over build/method/contents and whatnot.
I suppose it could work if each built their own rom with feedback from the other, but then you could have just posted a beta or prelim on the forums

Another thing that can be done would be to have one do the primary sytems, (a la my ROM), one do the programs and themes (a la Ttran or something). That way you have people doing what they're best at. But other than in that scenario, it would be a headache, like fzzyrn said.

not true its not headache...myself and kidnamedalbert started creating a rom its not as bad as u think it is. But what we were going to do is Have a rom but two styles his and mine. THe rom was going to be called theSurface we kept the same colors the blue but our skins look different but we would have the same splash screen mainly the same programs and what not.

this is actualy how I and hma4 did use to work with our Prophet roms a year ago.. we made a base rom together fixing stuff and when finished we skined then then way we wanted to and released 2 differant versions.
So it can be done

*pwned*
i don't think i've every been this happy that i was wrong.

I think it depends on your cooking style. Take ttran and me for example. I take my time and he produces MANY ROMs. In order for me to make super clean ROMs, I need to know where EVERY file and EVERY registry key is at at any given time. Maybe it's just MY cooking style.

thanks for all the suggestions. I just leave this thread like this and maybe reporting my results or sharing my experiences so it may help others if they want to join.

Recommend me a ROM :)

Hiya ppl
I would like to be recommened a ROM that fit my few, but yet important "demands"
Fast response, by fast i mean near-to-instant screen flip when keyboard is slided out, and near-to-instant program launch (You get the drift)
Finger friendly for every day use, standart UI is more stylus friendly than finger friendly.
Im sorry if this is "yet another one of those threads" but the forums is kinda "old" so theres soo many nice roms to choose from

Flash flash flash till you find the ROM you want as it's personal preference on what ROM you will like.

Yea however i would assume that one could narrow it abit down so that i dont have to try out like 30 different roms ^^

Look at the post counts and you'll get a pretty good idea of which ROMs are most highly thought of. The "recommend me a ROM" question is tough because it's like asking which is "the best" flavor of ice cream or which hair color is best for a girl. Everyone has their own preferences.
I've tried many. I currently am using HyperDragon (2/4 edition) and it's working well for me. I've used about six versions of HyperDragon and liked them all. Have also liked a number of others that are currently in vogue. FWIW.

Hmm ok - i guess ill just try from the top and work my way down ^^

Before anyone starts to flame you, yah, you're going to have to try your own.
I've been running Phoenix 2.3 since it's been out (not very long), and to me, it's one of the best ROMs I've ever tried. Plus, the chefs are very active.
Best of luck.

I am a new kaiser user and tried around 15 ROMs and finally decided to go on with eOS from -888-. It is light and very stable stable. I also liked the fact that -888- is still supporting the ROM.
Another ROM, I liked, is naked edition of AthineOS v.3.2 BlackStone:20757 from b16b. It is also a light ROM with lots of memory available. I wish the cook continued supporting the ROM.
I must say that I appreciate the efforts from all our genius cooks. However, as said before, you need to find the one that suites your taste.

The only other thing I will suggest - if you're going to try out a bunch of ROMs, familiarize yourself with Sashimi. Makes the customization job a ton easier.

The only thing you can do is to look at each ROM, look at its reviews, and try it yourself. The mods HATE this kind of thread and will come down on you with an iron fist.
Read Jimmy's announcement at the top, sir.

i wish i were a mod so my cat would actually work.

ASK HTC OR M$ for a rom recomendation
U have to look and read as this thread is ROM development not ROM RECOMEND
NEXT TIME post the question somewhere else
MODS SHOULD move this thread

My cat works fine thank you:

Here are some nice rom's that i think are great:
EnergyROM 'Photon' is a very popular rom lot's of updates releases fast.
CM-XOR MM PRO Manila 2.5 VGA is the one i am using right now it has a very good batterylife (3 day's on normal use, with other roms i get at the most 1.5 day's).
It also has a ported version of Manila 2.5 which i really love.
DynastyPro Series is a rom that looks and feels more like the iphone which you might want to try to compare to your old phone.
For new apps for your phone you should check the Development and Hacking forum.
Lots of great stuff to play with.
If you want some other theme for your manila interface you can find lots of cool stuff If you want some other theme for your manila interface you can find lots of cool stuff in Customizing TF3D - The Collection!

Manila is the graphic interface that replaces the default wm homescreen.
There are currently 3 different versions around (correct me if i'm wrong)
The original build 1, the enhanced build 1.5 and the even more enhanced Manila 2.5 edition.
Those are the ones i know off.(there is also a 2D version but that is for phones not able to run 3D.)

We are a bunch of s***-ups (no harm intended)
If anyone else had posted in here asking that question he'd be flamed, but since he's from iphone to WM (which all of us agree is sooooo much better) we start handing him out all the good threads
